THURMAN AND THE MINERS.
THE HOOKING VALLEY STRIKE.
Dark Days in the Ohio Coal Regions-The
Long Struggle of the Operatives for Liy-
Ing Wages-How the Old Roman
Came to Their Rescue.

Few newspaper readers can ever forget
the great Hooking Valley strike, its un-
natural and inhuman cause arising in po-
litical intrigue, its months of duration
and suffering, its final settlement and the
man that settled it. Sure 1t is the
miners will never forget their struggle
against the millionaire operators and
starvation; never forget the grand old
man they appealed to in their hour of need !;
never forget his free and ready response,
his patient services, for which he refused
compensation, and his final just decision
removing the tyranny and oppression
of organized capital, Boosting of its mill
ions, and restoring the laborer to his
rights. Those same miners will soon
have an opportunity to express their graft
tude to the protector of their homes-Allen
G.. Thurman, To a man they will march
to the polls and deposit their ballot for
the old Roman. But before the 9th of No
vember they propose to give one day to
their candidate for vice president.
The date will be early in October. A

Nice Scheme For the BOndhOldors.


The secretary of the treasury has been
obliged TO purchase about s45,0OO,000 OF bonds
in the last five months upon authority OF con-
gress. Has not Candidate Harrison seen the
price of AZ per cents rise within that time
from $l23 TO $l29-an advance of nearly per
cent. in the rate since the government entered
the market purchaser? But when the sur
plus should become exhausted by the purchase
OF bonds, what would prevent fresh accumula'
tons of surplus so long taxes upon the peo-
pie should remain undiminished? What rem
edy, then, would be left except TO buy more
bonds at whatever rates of premium the holders
may demand of the government?
The policy Of anticipating payments OF the
public debt ut high premiums, which the gov
eminent has been constrained 10 adopt in
order to restore to circulation needless accumu-
lations of money wrung from the people, the
republican candidate for the presidency would
establish as a permanent fiscal system. For
does he not say that it is unnecessary to reduce
the tariff or to apply that other remedy OF free
whisky in the Chicago platform when the
treasury surplus can be used for the purchase
of bonds?

much indebted for its remarkable growth in circu-
lation to the persistent adherence on the part
of the other Chicago dailies to the blanket
sheet " style Of journalism. Of all the people in
America the average Chicagoan is most in hurry
and least inclined to wade through columns Of
verbiage and stuff THE DAILY News is the only
Chicago daily that has the facilities for giving all
the news, and at the same time the good sense to
present it in concise form. The result of such
condition of affairs is that The DAILY NEWS prints
more papers than all the other Chicago dailies
combined
"In considering all the causes which have
entered into and produced so phenomenal jour-
nastic growth the most important one unques-
tionably has been the controlling conviction of its
managers that the cheap paper should be cheap
only in price; that its news should be fresh and
complete, its editorial discussion able, and its
general tone and character as pure and heathful
as its best and highest priced contemporary. All
this the cheap paper" may easily be even at its

to CLEAN what is Of real news interest from mass

enough to practically recognize these essential

THE GREA TEST or PATIENTS.

The decision of the Supreme Court of the
United States upholding the Bell telephone
monopoly is the most important patent case
ever adjudicated in the American Courts
1t fixes on the users of telephones, that is
on the non-rural population of the country,
continuing expense which will not be con
tentedly borne.
Bell is upheld at every point, but by
surprising vote. Justices Lamar and Gray
have refrained from judgment. The three
most eminent jurists, Field, Harlan and
Bradley, dissent and declare that Draw
baugh invented the telephone, though he
knew it not, while Waite, Miller, Matthews
and Blackford join In holding that the Refs
telephone was (ike Gray's early instrument)
only device for sending musical tones,
that Vanderweyde and McDonough had no
good claim, and that Drawbaugh, by his
own Indifference, gave vital force to the tes-
timony which dispossesses him.
As general fact the decision will not as
tonish the public-only the manner by
which it is made-feur to three votes in a
bench of nine. 1t is not the genius of Amer
ican law to dispossess the holder of prop
erty. Possession is nine points here-more
so than in Englan nd, whence the phrase
comes.

COMMEMoRA TING THE COMMUNE

There is no reason why all persons whom
that sort of entertainment amuses should
not celebrate the anniversary of the Paris
Commune. There is no reason, barring an
obscurity Of dates, why they should not eel
ebratc the anniversary of the day upon
which Caligula made his horse consul, or
Of Herod's massacre of the innocents, or OF
any other event which they may happen to
regard rs memorable and beneficial to hu-
manity. There is no law in this country
against such celebrations, any more than
there is II law making it a capital offence for
man to proclaim himself an Anarchist
When Albert Currilin arose at Chicago in
the midst of an enthusiastic celebration of
the anniversary of the Commune and shrek
ed : "I am an Anarchist, let them strange
ME if they dare y he knew these facts per
fectly well, and that there was not the
slightest danger Of his being taken at his
word. Nobody outside Of his own circle of
acauaintances cares in the least whether he
is an Anarchist or not, and unless, he does
some act which the law of the coun-
try pronounces capital offence his neck is
absolutely free from the rope.
In reference to the historical event which
was being celebrated the Anarchist orator
was less impressive to those persons who
know the facts than to the Ignorant crowd
which he was addressing AS matter OF
fact the world did not tremble at all at the
proclamation of the Commune in Paris,
France-tremblcd, not without reason, for
the fate of her beautiful and much tried
capital at the hands of a desperate mob, and
all nations, even her recent enemy, sympa-
thizej with her. But the end of the Com
mune was in sight from the first, it might
destroy, but it could neither construct nor
endure France, stricken into the dust as
she was, had not fallen 50 low as to be un-
able to cope with and crush the Ignorant
and misguided rabble which had formed a
so-caled government in opposition to the
authority of the republic. "The patriot pro-
letarians," as Currilin called them, selected
the moment when their countrys fortunes
were the darkest to rebel against the recent
ly established republican government. But
they over estimated their strength, and the
republic crushed them, though not before
they had done inestimable damage.
The history Of the Paris Commune affords
the best example that could be wished of
the kind of social and political order that
would be established under an Anarchist
regime. But in spite Of all that Curriin
and his like may say to the contrary the
foreign agitators and fanatics have very
poor show in this country.

EASTER. TIDE

Again in the dawn of the year, through
the hush of the budding spring, the voice Of
the sublimest episode humanity ever knew
speaks to u forgettul world, and the world
gracefully pauscs and listens. The grave
solemnity of Holy Week, with all the poetic
associations of religion, has touched with
the finger of silence even the boisterous lips
of commerce. All over the land 10 day, as
in all other Christian lands, the inspiring
suggestion of Easter fills society with seren
ity and hope.
Easter-tide, of all the seasons of the year,
bears the grandest message to the Christian
world-telling US of how the Saviour suf-
fered for us, how he died for US, gained the
mastery of death and made certain 10 US the
life beyond, where all is peace and lvve.-
Those who have walked with him in the
valley and shadow Of death now rejoice
that the sorrowful forty days are ended and
that He has arisen that all mankind might
be saved through him. On this day with
what peace we look forward to the future
for all around US do we see signs of rejoicing
that He died for US, so also has He arisen
and gone before US as a mediator with the
Father.
We feel with each return of this hope
reviving season how fitting is the time Of its
celebration. All nature as touched by the re
viviiying hand Of spring is pervaded by the
new life engendered, and on every hillside
along every valley we see Mother Earth
awakening after the dreary days Of winter
in whose frigid clasp she has so long laid
dormant, shaking off her snowy MANTLE
Borne on the soft winds come the sweet car
OILS of the plumed songsters who are made
glad by the return of life in every direction
The swelling and bursting of buds, the
blooming OF flowers in parterres and in the
sunny places Of the wild. wood, typilyinl
the never-dying soul which when its season
reaches its iullness bursts this prison hous,
of clay to bosm in immortal life.
With what delight the early Christian,
must have welcomed the return of this day
Prosecuted, reviled and hunted from tn,
face of the earth, hiding in the dark crypt,
and in tombs among the ghastly remains o
perished humanity. Easter to them was no
word alone, for they knew how ieetint
were lfe's shadows, and that soon thei
bodies were TO be as those around them, bu
the blessed sign given them that their spir
itual bodies would triumph over death fille'
them with new courage and new hope Il
bear their ills for His sake who had suffered
death yet lived forever more. To US, also
this season bears the same message, ant
therefore in this time our hearts are fillet
with gladness aud our souls give voice t,
peins Of praise. "Old things are passed
away, behold all things are new"

Now Comes a Farmers Trust.

A movement has been started by the farm
ers of Kansas looking to the organization OF
a farmers trust to include the farmers, stock
raisers and feeders of the northwestern States
and Territories of the Mississippi Valley. III
furtherance of the project mass s-conventlon
of the farmers and stock men Of the locality
above stated has been called to meet in To-
peka, Tuesday, May l, to complete an or
ganzation. The address, urging the farm
ers and others to attend the convention, sums
up the situation as follows; "Within the
last ten years the manufacturers and nearly
every other branch of industry except agrl-
culture have formed what are termed trust
associations, having for their object, first, to
check over production :; second, to prevent
an over supply OF goods from being thrown
upon our markets TO the ruin of prices and
the general injury to trade. We may not
by this proposed association be able, nor do
we care to limit the production of the soil,
for this would depend more or less on God and
bad seasons, but we have the power and can
control our shipments, and thus regulate the
supply of our commodities, offering in the
public markets of the country, and this will
always insure US fair prices The farmers
OF this country cannot compete with India
wheat in the Liverpool market, nor do We
intend to longer submit to the payment OF
the cost of taking our wheat To Liverpool
before it can be sold in cur home market.
What we want is fair exchange of pro
ducts. This we demand, and will submit to
nothing less. We have the power, and all
that is needed is organization to make this
power effective. Ii we can by this proposed
organization control our shipment Of these
commodities and prevent the supply from
exceeding the demand in the market, then
we would unquestionasly become master of
the situation.
The plan contemplates, first, the establish
ment of ten central agencies, to wit: Chi
cago, Cincinnati, Kansas City, indianapolis,
Omaha, ST. Lous, Cedar Rapids, st. Paul,
Milwaukee and Louisville, these agencies TO
do all the selling for the members OF the as
socation, for which they shall be paid stated
salaries. Second, the territory tributary to
these commercial points to be divided into
eight principal districts, and subdvided into
subdistricts by counties. Third, the princi-
pal of each central agency, together with a
| general superintendent of the association to
be appointed, shall constitute an executive
board with power to regulate and control
shipments Of produce upon the markets, and
to do any and all other things that shall in
their judgment appear to be to the best in-
| terests Of the association.
