Yesterday "A Lively Day-Hand- to- Hand
Fight with the Armed Police.

P1TTsBURG, Jan. 20-Despatches from
Mount Pleasant tonight state that Sheriff

police from Pittsburg had a desperate CON
flct with $50 strikers this afternoon, and
succeeded In arresting thirteen of them
After attacking the men at the Alice works
in the morning, the rioters rested for din
ner, then they massed near Stoneyville
At this point negro without provocation
fired at the Hungarians with shot gun,
but failed to hit any Of them. They sur
rounded his.house, dragged the negro out,
beat him fearfully and left him
for dead with his skull fractured.
He will probably die. When they en-
countered the 81 deputy sherffs and po-
licemen drawn up for battle, Detective
Brophy talked to the foreigners telling
them it was useless to resist and that they
would arrest the ring leaders. Brophy
arrested one striker which opened the
ball. The combat was hand to hand, but
the officers won, arresting IL of the men
and one woman who were sent to jail at
Greensburg. The balance retreated. over
one hundred shots were fired and several
Hungarians were injured, how badly it is
not known, as they were carried away by
their companions. Only one officer was
slightly hurt. The strike is but just
inaugurated and more blOodshed is
feared. some excitement was OCCaslOneu
by the report that they were acting under
orders from n Chicago lodge of socialists,
aud the dynamite taken from Loves
magazine during the recent raid was to
be used in blowing up the com
pany's property. The story, however,
was generally discredted This strike is
the most dangerous in the history of the
Coke industry. The operators have an en-
t,"ely different class to deal with, as the
Hungarians are at all times unmanageable

zens near the various threatened districts
are arming themselves and otherwise pre-
pairing to defend their homes

The secretary of the Woman's Suffrage
association of Vermont calls our attention
to typographical error in recent arti-
Gle, by which we were made to say that
the association had been in existence ten
years. AS the article was notice of the
report of the second annual meeting of
the association, it could not have misled
any careful reader. To satisfy our fair
censor, however, we explain that the as
ISOLATION is two years old, and that we
wrote two, instead of ten. She adds
KINDLY aid in removing the obstacles
that now make it impossible for women
to assume their share of political cares
and duties, and You will find the women
of Vermont rs true to political, as to all
other, duties and cares"
Our correspondent fiatters us by her as
sumption that the aid of the FREE PRESS
is all that is needed to secure the fran
chise for the women of Vermont. This
! is, however, quite a mistake on her part
All the newspapers in Vermont could not
make respectable beginning towards
overcoming the settled opinion of the
great mass of the women of our State
which they share with the women of New
England and indeed of all the States OF
the Union, that they have burdens and
cares enough without adding those OF
politics. The removal of the legal obsta
Gle would make no difference. 1t has
already been removed to the extent OF
permitting the women to vote for schoo
officers but they care nothing about it
They neither recognize the duty nor eXer
else the privilege of voting so far as it has
been accorded to them. The schools
come next to the family and intelligent
women, such as compose the great mas,
of the fairer and better half of our popu
latlon, would vote on school matters, il
they would on any The experiment has
been tried and the result is conclusive
How it may be with future generation,
we do not undertake to predict but thi,
generation of women-with exceptions st
few rs to prove the rule-do not want t
vote and cannot be made to-

1t Is almost Il generation since the war
began. Millions of men are voters now,
who were not born when the war closed.
But the citizens of this country have not
forgotten the war, nor the men who
carried 1t on. Interest in the incidents and
history of the great struggle, and in the
soldiers who fought it through, has steadi-
ly increased Oh the part of the general pub
lie during the past ten years. Especially is
this true throughout the North. and it is
due chiefly to two things: First. the war
was not only one of the greatest and
bloodiest in human history, but it had u
great mornl principle underlying it. 1t
not only preserved us Il nation, but it pre-
served US Il free nation. To the patriot
ism, endurance, blood and toll of the sol
diers of the Union, we owe 1t that Ameri
Gu is to day one free people, and not con
glomeration of hostile Confederacies with
large standing armies, and heavy war
taxes &; and Il blight over every peaceful
industry.
Second, service in the army, for those
who went into it upon principle, was an
enrolling experience. If the soldiers of
the Union had contracted the lawless
habits often engendered by army life and
the vices of the camp and the garrison =
if they had returned to civil life drunk
ards and DULLES, quiet communities would
have had occasion enough to dread instead
of welcome soldiers reunions. But all
fears that soldiers meeting would be a
reckless revel, have long since passed
away. The veterans have shown that in
their festivities as well as in other things
they are selfrespecting citizens. Their
number comprises men who honor every
business and calling in which they engage.
They welcome their wives and daughters
to their feasts. They are proud Of their
service and conscious of no demoraliza-
ton resulting from it. They meet to keep
alive its memories and to cherish the SH-
cred fire of patriotism, which led them to
face death for country and for human
freedom. They recognize the apprecia
ton and honor extended to them as IA class
by their fellow citizens, and desire
more and more to deserve it.
Animated by such II spirit, and
celebrated in such Il way, Il soldiers
reunion is good thing for the commu-
nifty in which it is held, rs well as for the
veterans who reunite. Conscious of this
rs we'll az of the claims of hospitality and
of the debt of gratitude the nation owes
to the defenders of its life, the commu-
nifty extends cordial welcome to the
veterans. One and all. private and officer
cavalry, infantry and artillery, soldier and
sailor, comrades of the Grand Army, and
all who wore the blue and fought under
the starry banner, are welcome.

City Judge Haselton has filed his annual
report at the city clerks Office and from
this report it appears that there have been
before the City Court during the past
year forty-three city cases. These cases
were against IS respondents 80 of whom
were convicted and of whom were ac-
quilted or discharged ON nollC proSCYN.
The convictions were chiefly for assaults
or other breaches of the peace. Fines and
costs were collected and paid into the city
treasury to the amount of S433# ana the
total amount of costs was $34712, the
excess of receipts to the treasury over
costs being SS621.

Circulars are out inviting the third and
fourth class postmasters of the various
States to send delegates to national con
vention of such postmasters to be held at
Chicago, for the purpose of inducing Con-
gress to provide more liberal compensa-
ton for their services, to furnish them
with clerks, and otherwise make the posi-
tions they hold more agreeable to them.
We have not heard of any action having
been taken rs yet, by the third and fourth
class postmasters of Vermont, in response
to this circular In some other States.
however, delegates have been appointed
to attend the national convention of post
masters.
This movement is of course inaugurated
by the new Democratic appointees, and it
is the sort of thing which we must all eX
pect to see in every branch of the public
service. AS soon as the offices get well
filled by Democrats there will be general
move to raise salaries and increase per
qusties and nothing but the Republican
Senate will prevent an enormous increase
of the public expenditures in that way. 1t
is not many months since the new post
masters were denouncing their predeces
sors as government paupers.N But their
Republican predecessors did their duties,
and as a rule did them honestly and well,
and without whining. The new men are
hardly warm in their places before they be
come beggurs if not "paupers." They
have now two-thrds of the receipts Of
their offices, but they want three-thrds
and clerk apiece, 1t may be IA new reve-
lation to them to find that government Of
fees generally involve a good deal of hard
work. and are not all of them mines of
wealth; but having gone in for the offices
and got them, it would seem reasonable
that they should now "stand up to the
rack, fodder or no fodder us their prede
cessors have done. But that they have no
thought of doing.

The conclusion arrived ut by the Re
publican senator's seems to amount to
this. Reasons for removals and for APP
pointments will be asked for in cases
where the nature of the circumstances
renders it proper and desirable Mr. Cleve-
lands appointees will be confirmed when
the men named by him are properly quail
flied and are not open to the same charges
brought against their predecessors. Mr..
Cleveland's professions regarding civil
service reform, as expressed i'll his letter
to Mr.. Curtis, will be taken to some ex-
tent in the sense in which they have since
been interpreted by their author-as being
very well in theory; but not to be too
closely insisted on, when 1t comes to prac-
teal politics. Still where they are insist
ed on, as against Republican incumbent,
the senators cannot very well refuse to
recognize them us applicable also to his
Democratic successor. The senators can
not say, in the same breath, it is all right
TO remove this man for offensive parti-
sanship," and all right to appoint another
man for offensive craftsmanship.
