Some Of the raciest reading that
has been in the papers lately Is the
Tanner alzell correspondence. "Cor-
poraln Tanner wrote private letter
to his personal friend "Private" Dali
zell, ripping the administration up
the back and pouring tale of woes
into Dalzell's ear about his "resigna-
ton" from the Pension office. This
interesting document was given to
the press, and Tanner wired his con-
fidential friend to know how the
letter happened to be stolen. To this
Dalzell replied that the letter had
been published deliberately and in
tentionally to show up SHERMAN,
Taylor, Harrison and Others" and he
concluded by praisiug Tanner for
"exposing TO public contempt the
intri guers who, by treachery and
falsehood, betrayed us both, and
with us the entire comradeship, who
raised them from the dunghill to the
throne Of power"

Letter to the Public.

Walter Duncan Writes a Farewell
Letter to the Public.
To My Friends:
After receiving my sentence of
years to be served In the state prison,
l will write few lines 10 my friends,
perhaps these will be my last words
to you. There will be many changes
In the course offs long, weary years.
Ere time in Its onward march shall
have passed beyond the reach Of 1897
and knocked at my prison deer, /
perhaps will be resting beneath the
sod. 1 go to my life work cheerfully,
but health may fall me before It is
done. Many may think my pun
ishment light according TO the 80.
called crime of which 1 am charged.
Allowing me to remind you, there
are two sides to every question.
And while on earth II l am fated 10
be waited by the scorching words Of
an unjust prosecuting attorney far
beyond the reach Of justice I am con-
soled when l think of that day when
1 with my friend and foes stand at
the great judgment bar, and when
my case is placed on file In the
courts Of heaven hear the God Of
justice proclaim, not guilty. Then It
will be that an avenging justice shall
meet the false witnesses against me
and wreak his vengeance by launch
ing them on the fiery pillows of
destruction to meet the doom they
madly challenged.
Some of the persons were preju-
diced against me, perhaps by the
fiery, irritated and unjust eloquence
of fame-seeking attorney. Some
with reason weighed the evidence and
were anxious for my acquittal.
Some desired to fix my sentence at
80 years, in prison. I would have
preferred life sentence to that Of 80
years, for in the former I could re-
slize while dying 1 had fulfilled what
had been allotted me.
1 am not guilty of perpetratlng a
crime. In self-defense ION the 18th
Of August, 1885, 1 took the life OF
Charlie fleming. Some censure me
for handling him after I had given
the death stroke, but this did for
his comfort, as there was nobody else
who offered to assist During the
struggle sympathized with him,
there was no hatred or anger In my
heart. 1 only acted as l was CON-
PEELED to do to preserve my own life.
I prayed that ere his irit departed
it received forgiveness.
My great sorrow is in leaving my
little fatherless niece who was given
me to raise. Oh, how l had learned
to love her! How l shall miss the
sound of those little feet as abe used
to run TO meet me, and eatwining
her loving little arms around my
neck nestle close TO my sidel But
now I must leave her; perhaps never
again will 1 hear the little lispipg
voiceof Lula say ''Uncle Walter, l
believe you are innocent" But God
standeth within the shadow, keeping
watch above his own, commend he
to his grateful and loving care.
In this, my friends, allow me to
say farewell. II we never meet
again in this life may we meet here
the sublime radiance of God shall
light our paths to the bosom Of his
mercies. Ny last wish is "Peace on
earth, Good will toward mem.
Kindly Yours,

STRIKERS AND THE LAW.

The sharp discipline administered by
Judge Ewing, yesterday, to three of the Du-
quesne strikers for disregarding the injunc-
ton of the Court, should warn the strikers
of the necessity of keeping their actions
within the law. There was denial made
on the part of the men arraigned, that they
had been engaged in intimidating acts; but
unless the reports which come from the
strikers, as well as the testimony presented
on behalf of the company has wofully be-
lied them, the mainstay of the strikers has
been the threat of force if new hands were
used to start the mill.
Judge Ewing's words in imposing the
fines expressed concisely the premises of one
of the vital questions that threatens the per
manence of our selfgovernment The idea
that mob law, or the resort to force, can be
used to settle industrial questions, has al
ready inflicted great calamities on this COM
munity. 1t is destructive of the law and
order which affords labor its greatest secu.
rity. 1t is necessary that the laws must be
obeyed. The men have their legal rights;
but they must respect the legal rights oI
others, even at the cost of hardships to them.
selves. Judge Ewing's declaration that the
rich violate the laws as we'll as the poor, and hi:
wish that he could get the rich who do SC
before him, imply his recognition of the
vital fact that such violations have no slight
share in producing wages disputes and
social divisions like that which has pro-
duced this case. But, like every thought
ful man, he sees that the task of enforcing
the laws upon powerful transgressors will
be hopeless if they are to be trampIed under
foot by the very class in whose interests they
should be maintained.
The Duquesne strike is a signal example
of the stupid collision of force, and the dan
gers involved in the resort to strikes But
what are we to do with men who are unable,
under present conditions, to perceive any
better way of maintaining their wages OF
securing living for themselves and fam
lilies?

NEW YORK NEWS NOTES.
A Circus Struck by a WhirIwind.
rrEV1 yopR prrprA cpurT


NEW YORK. April T-There was circus at
Washington, N. j., to-day. Circuses don't stop
there very often, so the whole town turned out
to see this one. notwithstanding the wind and
rain. Between and o'clock in the evening,
while the citizens of Washington were passing
from the sideshows to the big tent containing
the menagerie and the ring, tornado struck
them. The tents collapsed in whirlwind. All
the lights were extinguished, and pandemo-
mum broke loose. The people who had al
ready passed into the big tent fought for escape
from the wreck. Many who tried to cut them
selves free with knives succeeded onlyin slash
ing themselves and their neighbors. Just as
the last Washingtonians were hauled out Of
the ruins, somone yelled that the animals were
loose. Then everyone ran OF helter skelter
into the darkness without waiting to take his
bearings. All sorts of accidents resulted
Some plunged into deep gullies filled with
water, some .tumbled against trees and fences.
Scores we're injured, but no one Vefy severely.
Within half an hour the storm cleared up so
that the lost Washipgtonfans could see to go
home. The circus lost about s., 900 through the
wreck
