OF overaweing the poor into submission so that
his income should not be diminished. He sue.
ceeded, and his victims are bent now in silence
at their daily tasks for whatever he sees fit TO
give them. | confess to n strong spirit of re-
sentiment against such wrongs inflicted by the
powerful on the weak. and my expressions at
Bloomfield are not without support and ex-
ample from an authority far higher than this
world can bestOw. Suppose the Savior were
again upon earth and should again relate the
story OF Dives and Lazarus. Every Carnegie in
the land would saw that Christ meant him.
How appropriate the old PARALLEL to the affairs
OF mankind now, near the close OF the nine
teenth century of the Christian era!
There was a certain rich man which was clothed in
purple and hne linen and Jared sumptu0Usly every
day;
And there was certain becgar named Lazarus
which was laid At his gate full OF sores.
And desiring TO be fed with the crumbs which fell
from the rich mans table; more yer the dogs came
And it came to pass that the begzar died aud was

rich man also died and was buried
And in hell he lifted up his eyes, being in tor

And he cried and said. Father Abraham. have

But Abraham SAID: son. remember that thou in

TRAIN ROBBERS IN TEXAS.
Six Masked DIen GO Through an Express
and Mail Car.

Fl. WORTH, Tex, Aug. 5-At 2 o'clock
yesterday morning six masked men stopped the
Fl. Worth & Denver mailexpress, south bound.
between the Cheyenne water tank and Tuscosa.
Three men got on the locomotive, compelled
the engineer to pull away from the passenger
coaches, which had been detached by the rob-
bers and left under guard of three other men.
Alter going hall mile they compelled the en-
gneer to get of the engine and bring pick 10
press Messenger Marsh closed the door and put
out the lights in the car, first secreting all the
express packages but three. The robbers. COM
ing to his car, ordered him TO open il aud fred
into it. The engineer hammered away with his
pick until he got the door partly Open when a
torch pushed into the opening and a re-
voyer pOked in and pointed at Marsh, who was
told 10 open up or be killed. Marsh opened
the door and three packages were stolen, but
the Pacific express people say very little money
was secured.
The robbers then went to the mail car and
compelled Route Agent WOlcOtt TO open his
car He had hidden all his registered matter
but one letter under a sack. and turned his
lights out The robbers got the one package
and then opened the mai pouches and scattered
the contents over the floor. After doing the
work they then ordered the engineer to put
out the torch and pull out When they left
authorities in the neighbOring counties were
notified and are IN pursuit
1t is said that the total amount stolen is less
than $1,000. The passengers were badly
frightened, but not one was mOlested IN any
way. Cheyenne is S75 miles northwest from
Ft. Worth.

The Farmers Win Their Fight.

BISMARCK, n. OAK. Aug. 5.-The Saturday
night session OF the constitutional convention
was interesting, especially TO railroads and
other corporations, the evening being passed
in discussion of the proposition giving the
legislature power to hx passenger and freight
rates and to regulate the charges on sleeping
cars, express, telegraph and telephone COM
panIes After a spirited debate, in which
amendments giving the courts power TO decide
what rates should be charged, the farmers won,
and the committee OF the whole adopted the
original proposition. Before the convention
adopts the article another strong effort will be
made to amend IL.
The only business transacted this afternoon
was meeting the senate commission on irriga-
tion and reclamation of arid lands.

The Operators of Northern Illinois VIII
Make No Concessions.
LASALLE, ILL.,. Aug. 2.-Dr. E. Fl. Wines, OF
the governors committee, now investigating
the coal mining troubles, in an interview here
to-day, said that the coal operators in this rs
gion had expressed their determination not to
submit the matter OF their difficulties With their
miners to arbitration or TO in any way follow
the lead of II. Plumb, of the Coal Run COM
pany of Streator.
The operators and miners are no nearer an
adjustment of difficulties than when the mines
closed down May !. The northern Illinois Op.
orators claim that they must sell coal ct least
10 cents per ton below last years figures or re-
tire from the business. This is owing 10 com~
petition from southern Illinois, and also from
the Pennsylvania regions, from whence coal IS
shipped into Chicago and the Northwest By
way OF the lakes at very low rates.
Mr Wines has very little hope Of a speedy
settlement Of the case. end gives it as his
opinion that both the miners and operators ara
in great measure justified in their positions
at the prices offered The latter they can only
do business al a loss. and at the prices offered
the former they cannot earn a living.

I'"IltuAFI
Unless all the indications grossly de-
ceptive it is safe to predict that at the close of
the present administration the annual eXpend-
jects now provided for by law will be far greater
than at any time during the last administration,
and that many new projects of more than
doubtful propriety will have been inaugurated,
the support of which will tax 10 the utmost all
the resources Of the treasury. But before that
time the pnbic patience will be exhausted and
account for the subserviency to special interests
and classes, for its reckless disregard of It's
most solemn pledges, aud for its continued
failure 10 give any substantial relief TO its over
taxed people.

There is every indication that the old school
book ring that robbed the people of this state
for so many years has bought men in high off,

leading republican newspapers that are doing

papers that proverbally have no opinions OF

Some people are very busy trying 10 poison

men continued the search for the robbers in

so. The SuppoSition now is that the men are

robbery, and as soon as they got oil the train
