papers concur in the announcement that
whatever war plans are in preparation

The National Gd.ettc, summing up the

the fact that a period has about been

ion Of the Mlitar zeituug and the Krcit.
ZcitOng, suggestions OF the Emperor are
pacific because the army is in state OF
transition, the new infantry drill regula-
tions and radical changes in defences
necessary to meet recent explosive in

RIOT IN PENNSYLVANIA.
A bloody Fight between Toughs-KniVes
and Pistols Used.

GREESsBuRo, Pa, Dec. SO.-There was
a riot this afternoon about o'clock at the
new town of Jeanette. Last night a
number of colored men and other em-
ployed at Jeanette came to this place
and supplied themselves with whisky,
and with the aid of unlicensed whisky
shops in Jeanette, high carnival was
held there during the morning hours.
In the afternoon the celored men be-
came quarrelsome and it became evident
that there was trouble ahead. Thirty or
forty men gathered in one Of the shanties
and soon desperate fight was begun and
knives and pistols were brought into
play.
Greensburg, was terribly cut and it is
reported he cannot live, while coiored
man named Carroll, had an arm terribly
lacerated by a knife. Others are report
ed to have received dangerous wounds.
A messenger was dispatched for Sheriff
Byen and Deputy Sheriff Alcorn and

CHARLESTON, W. Va, Dec. 30.-David
Stratton and Kentucky Bill, armed with
a requisition from the Governor of Ken
lucky for Thomas Wallace, one Of the
Hatfeld-McCoy murderers, found him
ut Flat Top Mountain, Virginia, on De-
cember "a. When ordered to halt he
opened fire with heavy revolver, the
ball passing through stratton's coat.
The officers returned the fire and he fell
mortally wounded. Wallace and Cap
Hatfield killed JEFF Mccoy about two
years ago. Before his death he stated
that he and Hatfield were paid $50 for
the job by Alfred Wooliord, deputy
sheriff OF Buchanan county, Virginia,
and others. The money was placed in
Ans. Hatfeld's hands, and was held by
him until they did the work. Wallace
was arrested shortly atterward, but
knocked the jailor down and escaped.
He has been running moonshine dis
tillery near the line between Virginia
and West Virginia for several months.

gang, died last week in Lawrence Coun-

parties has been strong enough to resist
its power. With Sl,50O.000.000 capital to
protect it and'a solid constituency to de-
tend it, this plutocratic power has been
able hitherto to dictate policy to both
OF the old political parties. The Govern
'ment is debauChed by the bribe Of a
heavy revenue, and the conscience
of both of the great politi-
cal parties is scared to a crisp
by the thought OF the financial re-
lief to be secured by money paid for
license. 1t controls largely the nomina-
ton Of all men proposed for important
Offices. II any man is proposed who
seems to be offensive to this power, the
party hastens 10 give assurance that the
candidate will say nothing which is of
fensive or injurious to the business, or il
he do, that the party will in some way
counteract his influence.
In the last election il gained the mas
terry over the leaders OF the parties and
even overthe National Republican Com
mittee so that the chairman OF that COM
mittee, for once at least, sold out to the
liquor power for she sake Of votes which
they could control. In the Sixth Con-
gressiOnal district OF New York the Re
publicanInominee, Alexander McKeever,
was withdrawn, Mt the dictation, 1t is
said, of Chairman Quay, and on the day
before the election he sent a communi-
cation to every registered voter in the
district indorsing John Cavanaugh, the
nominee of the County Democracy, and
an extensive liquor dealer and brewer.
In return Cavanaugh's friends worked
for the National Republican ticket.
Senator Quay was further spoken OF by |
DR.. Gushing.
Under the fourth head OF his discourse
he said that the future OF our nation is
imperiled by the aggressiveness OF Ro-
Considerable time was devoted
TO this subject. Among other things he
said: 1T is too late to attempt to con-
zeal tho fact that priests often direct
heir members for whom TO cast their
ballots. Itis well known 10 politicians
hat to large extent the priests can and
10 do this, and il is for this reason that
1 politician or partisan paper seldom
ltters anything against the proceedings
1f the ROmish church. The whole policy

his process OF intimidation"
