A Cow Boy Evangelist.

The Western country has produced
a number of Evangelists the past
year who are turning many men from
their evil ways. For several centur
les after Christ the men who carried
the banner of the cross were not men
who were trained in the theological
schools of the old orthodox church,
and to-day this country contains a
number of men who are not licensed
by any school OF Theology, who are
preaching with great effect repent
ance and the life to come. A COW.

A BlOOdthirsty Circular.

The misguided men who have been
engaged III the strike on Western
railroads, and who refused to allow
other men to work in the places that
they not long since vacated with
contempt, have been compelled by
the power of the law to recognize
the rights of other men to engage at
the work that they rejected. The
miscarriage of their tyranous scheme
to keep other men from work having
failed, they breathe threatenings OF
which the following is II sample:
LAWRENCE, Kan, April I'm OF
tawa and this city circulars were
yesterday distributed on the streets.
They were printed in red, with a
wide red border, and were headed
a Mere Question of Blood. They
read as follows: TO parents, guar
dams and teachers. You have sent
your sons, wards and pupils equip
ped with the implements of mutila
ton and murder to coerce, drive,
mangle and kill a body of workers
who are struggling with giant foe
against monster oppression. For
months and months together have
these brave employees borne with re-
duction of wages, violation of COM
pact, sleepless nights, irregular hours
and a dogs existence without com
plant, and when, by standing togeth-
er with noble brotherly fidelity, they
have reached a position to command
peacebly that recognition of their
rights which the laws delay would
never vouchsafe. you send your sons,
in the name of Christian civilization,
bearing in their hands weapons OF
murder to see that justice is subvert
ed and wrong maintained. Now,
you Christian fathers and mothers
if you have trained up your boys for
the religious task of slaughtering
their fellows, you have only fattened
their frail forms to feed maggots
and it will be matter of economy
to purchase their cofins and hire
their masses in the slack of the mar
ket, for as sure as God is God, he
that sheddeth mans blood by MAJ
shall his blood be shed, and there Ii
no respect of persons with God.

Fire.crackers are made by Chinese

Fire-crackers are made BY Chinese
convicts, hired by manufacturers
from the government at three cents a
day, the work being done inside of
the prisons The paper is made of
bamboo fiber. Each cracker is filed,
rolled and pasted by hand, with as
tonishing rapidity. The powder us
ed is equal in strength to our best
blasting powder.
An earthen pot filled with gold
coin that the cashier of a local bank
values at $12, 900 was turned up by
the plough few days ago by far
mer at work in his field at Batesburg,
S. G. The coin is old and quaint and
bears evidence of having come from
different nationalities. How it found
its way into the field or when it was
deposited is not conjectured.
1t is probable that a churning
match will be one of the attractions
at the next Main State Fair. The
idea is to place a dozen or twenty
churns in a row on a stage and have
a plump and rosy farmers daughter
operate each dasher, offering good
prizes to those who excel in time,
quality and quantity of production
neatness in appearance and jauntiness
of motion also to be considered as
points.-Lewistown (Me.) Journal.

A Bloody Mock Trial.

At Laredo, Texas, last week the
Democratic party were triumphant
over a party known by the name OF
Huarches. The Democracy propos-
ed to hold q mock funeral of their
political antagonists. The Huarches
forgot their manhood and proposed
to prevent the funeral. The effort
to stop the Democratic parade led to
a riot which is related by despatch
as follows:
GALVESTON, Texas. April S.-A spec
ial to the News from Laredo says /:
The intense excitement and lawless-
ness which has prevailed mere for the
past fortnight eliminated last even
ing in bloody riot. The immediate
cause is attributed by many to a cir
cular which appeared yesterday morn
ing announcing that the Democratic
party would hold funeral services at
| four clock in the afternoon over the
party known here as '.Huarches.
Directly after the appearance of the
circular it was announced that the
"Huarches party would prevent by
force any such demonstration. At
four o'clock the streets leading to
the point from whence the Democrat
ic procession was announced to start
were blockaded with armed men.
For half an hour the suspense WAS
intolerable. Then it was announced
that there would be no effort to bury
the eiiigy of the defeated party
This had pacific effect and the
crowd began to disperse. Suddenly
the music of the Democratic band
struck up and the procession moved
out to and down Main street. and
turned into the street leading to the
main plaza. When the head OF the
column had reached the front of
Martins store a party of men armed
with Winchesters and revolvers charg-
ed the procession. Instantly over
one hundred men became engaged
in deadly conflict and for half an
hour a regular battle ragged along
the street near the river. During
the height of the conflict a small can
non which had been used by the
"Huarches party and which is said
to have been charged with nails and
stones, WIS fired down the street
BY 5 o'clock the mob spirit was SUI
preme and it was feared that th,
women and children would be at the
mercy OF the rioters. At this criti
cal moment word was despatched tC
. Colonel Barnard, commandant a
Fort Mcintosh, that the heavy firing
iii the city was caused by al at:acl

whom the mob quickly dispersed
and in a short time every armed maj

are five killed and three wounded

The Philadelphia Bulletin remarks:
Mr.. Gould is undoubtedly a very un-
popular man. He is not generally
regarded as one of the worlds great
benefactors He is more than sus-
pected OF making much of his money
by methods that will not stand any
close scrutiny. But when Gould is
depicted as wicked boycotter, 60
ing round to grocers and ordering
them not to give credit to working
men, Just as workingmen go round
to grocers and order them not to sell
to or for manufacturers who are un-
der their ban, the thing becomes just
a little too utterly inconsistent. But
there is an old story about man
who didn't know whether it WAS his
OK or his neighbor's that had been
gored, and got dreadfully confused
about it Matthew seems to be in
that condition on the subject of boy
cotting.

The Knights of Labor may be q
strong organization, and if united
might move mountains, but they
might with profit stop long enough
IN their career, to consider the ever
present fact, that whenever Knight
steps out Of Job there are a halt
dozen other men ready to step into
the empty place. Tt will ever be SO
unless the knights can get rid of the
surplus people. The surplus is not
only too large among men who work
with their hands, but it exists in all
of the walks of life. There are too
many lawyers, where one drops out
a half dozen scramble for the place,
SO with editors and doctors. There
are too many preachers. The same
may be said of business men, there
are too many storekeepers, but no
one class of the people mentioned
have been guilty of the supreme folly
of trying by force to keep others
from occupying part of the field that
they occupy. The lawyers may be
clanish and do their best to keep new
men from coming in to share the
picking Of clients, and business may
organize boards of trade and combine
as best they can to control prices,
but they have never conspired to
override by force all opposition and
when some of them are by the force
OF the circumstance of too much bus
iness for too few customers forced to
the wall under the sheriffs hammer,
they do not threaten violence, ven
geance, and bloodshed against other
people who flourish in business pla-
ces. Such are the hard cold facts of
every day life, and if the Knights of
Labor will stop to reflect on them,
they can readily understand why the
civilized world has turned the cold
shoulder upon their violent demon
strGtions.

PoLYGAMoUs women of Utah have
sent large petition to the Washing
ton government as a complaint
against government officers for break
ing into their houses and private ap-
artments at night, under an excuse
that they are in search of evidence
that they are living with men in vio-
Iation of the laws of the United
States of America. The Abrahamic
and Solomonic system of having as
many women as they can keep, may
not be in accord with the modern no
tions of good society but the case is
not such a desperate one that 1t
should cause the government to al
low its officers to break into people
houses in the dead of night to find

Strikers Killed.

During the early part of last week

men from their places, as a last re-

to shoot the invaders when they Of

crowd of strikers formed at the re-
lag depot, in East st. Louis, at 1.45
o'clock this afternoon, and advanced
in the direction of the railroad yards
to stop work by the new men en-
ployed there.s
They were met by guard of dep
uties, who ordered them to disperse.
The mob refused and made a rush
for the yards, when the deputies lev
eled their Winchesters and fired,
killing six of the strikers.
A wife of a striker was fatally
wounded.
