Labor Riots Near Seattle.

Trouble arose at New Castle, O. little min.
ing town near Seattle, W. T., over q Miners
UNION man, William Doyle, being shown
preference over a Knight of Labor man.
The Knights of Labor, headed by the Mu-
larkey brothers. very determined men, began
an attack upon the Miners union. Soon
after breakfast they brought force of thir-
ty Knights OF Labor from Gilman, a mining
town near by, and cutting the telegraph
sentiHels in different parts of New Castle and
began assaulting the day shift at the
mines, refusing to let the night
shit out of the shaft. The attacking
party afterward boarded the train and
rode to Coal Creek, where the train was
to load with coal. The regular force of the
miners union were then attacked by the
Knights with every kind of missile. The
train was upon the trestle and some of the
leaders were driven and thrown off fall
ing 20 feet or more. When the train
boarded it, and at Newcastle began an as
sault upon the miners union men at the
depot. Duncan Buchanan, o foreman
was very badly injured. Torrance Mularkey
was using his Winchester upon the union
lists, so the miners union men fed to their
home across the commons between their cot.
tages and the depot. and securing their rifles
opened fire on the Knights of Labor. Three
men fell Sheriff Cochrane, with posse,
went to New Castle, and as fighting was very
fierce and several men injured, he dispatched

Col. J. c. Haines, boarded special train,
but when about mile out the eccentric OF

Last reports from Newcastle say the trouble
is over.

The Civil Service Scandal.

The Washington Post has been hav-
ing tilt with the Civil Service Com
missioners for some time. 1t has
charged them with violation of the law
in selection of clerks, and with disre-
gard to that spirit of reform without
which the letter is worse than dead.
The latest charge is too strongly
made and too serious in its nature to be
overlooked or disregarded. 1t was, in
effect, that examination papers were
being stolen and sold by a clerk of the
Commission, who had not onlv been
retained In office after his guilt had
been discovered but had even been
promoted. The Post furnishes some
strong evidence to sustain its charge.
Now let us hear what the Commission
ers have to say. There has been good
deal of red tape fummery about this
civil service business, and great many
good people have become thoroughly
Disguised with the way the law has
worked. The idea of selecting men for
delicate and difficult executive work,
on the basis of their knowledge of
higher algebra, or ancient history, is
in itself repugnant to men of good
common sense If, in addition, the
Commissioners have themselves been
guilty of violations of law, permitting
and extenuating such practices as those
referred to, it is high time the facts
were known, for the public is getting
very tired of the humbug that is some
times concealed beneath the cloak of
reform.
The thing for the Comm issioners to-
do is to meet these charges and tell the
truth. 1t will not be sufficient answer
TO abuse Editor Hatton who makes
them. 1t may be very pleasant for the
Commissioners TO call him names.
But that doesn't meet the emergency
properly. If they have a good and
sufficient defense of their course they
should state it, and the sooner the bet
ter. The public can receive with
equanim:ty great many good words
about civil-service reform, for there is
quite void to he filled. The public
has stood a good deal of nonsense
about this grabbing style of selecting
Government employees. But it will
draw the line on violations of law in
the Commissioners Office. -Des Moines

machinery to elect members Of Con-
gress. They do not represent the
State, they represent districts. As
well appoint the Judiciary by the
States. III the Federal Government
should take charge CT such elections
it would be'under a system applicable
TO all the States in the Union, and it
would be uniform. The great trouble,
though, is to teach the Democratic
party. In the old days, when in
power, it insisted that the State, and
not the Federal power, should issue
circulating notes, and the result was
we had about the worst banking sys-
tenn in the world. The Federal Gov
eminent, with the war, took the po-er
and gave us the present national bank
ing system"
Upon this subject L said 10 Mr..
Sherman that Mr.. John Jay Knox had
had said to me in New York that Sec
rotary Window could pay higher
price for 4-per-cent. bonds than 129,
the maximum limit he fzed, rather
than buy 4t-per-cents. at the price he
was paying.
II indorse Mr.. Window" he said.
"In two and half years the 4t-per-
cent. bonds will be due. There are
about S100,000,0O0 outstanding. 1t is
good policy to redeem such of this
class as he can now command, for no
one can tell what two and a half years
may develop. We might not be ready
to redeem them, though L think we
will, and as q Government on such a
splendid basis as we now are we would
not want 10 renew them. Again, few
years may likewise develop that 4-per-
cents. are not worth l29, so that the
policy the Treasury Department is
pursuing / deem quite good one"
And as TO silver, Senator" i asked,
"have you changed your views?"
No, l have not" he said. Il can't
understand the silver men. / would
be willing to buy up to $4,000 600
month, and issue certificates upon
the bullion value, not coming the
bullion at all until such as had been
coined had gone into circulation. Are
you aware that only $50, 600, 900 of sill
yer is in actual circulation? The bal
ance is stored away in the treasury
vault. Under the policy of the silver
men, the price of the commodity has
continually gone down. Why should
the Government be compelled TO coin
so many silver dollars each month to
store them away in vaults and issue
certificates representing them? Why
not buy silver as pig-iron in pigs, and
issue the certificate for the actual val
ne of the silver bullion, instead of coin
ing a silver dollar, which in actual
value is not dollar at all? This
would appeal, in my judgment, to
financial sense"
OF his anticipated trip to Ohio, the
Senator spoke with animation, not for
getting the desire to see the old horse
which for twenty-seven years has been
on his Ohio farm, and a dog of like
service. 1t was rather made manifest
that just now his heart vearns for the
autumnal splendor of his Mansfield en-
vironment.

THE MISSISSIPPI PLAN.
How the Democrats of West Point Treated
General Chalmers.
West Point tNlss.l special.l


A proceeding has Just been witnessed
here which should excite the feelings
of shame and indignation in the bosom
of every patriot in all this land. Cen
eral James r. Chalmers, whose father
was United States Senator from
Mississippi, whose brother was Chief
Justice of the State, who was himself
a distinguished soldier, and equally
distinguished as a lawyer and poll
tician, came here as the Republican
candidate for Governor He had no
appointment here, but his friends de-
sired him TO speak, and he consented
to do so. As soon "a this became
known the Democratic Town Club
called q meeting and occupied the
court house for that night. General
Chalmers, by the request of his
friends, remained until to-day, and it
was announced that he would speak at
3 o'clock this afternoon, upon which
the Sheriff of the county declared that
he should not speak in the court house
An effort was then made to procure the
opera house, but this was under the
control of the Circuit Court Clerk, and
he refused to rent it. Application was
then made TO the Mayor for the use of
a covered stand in the street, where
speaking is frequently conducted, and
this was also refused.
Efforts were then made TO procure
two vacant groves in the town, and the
use of these was refused. A vacant lot
exposed to the broiling sun was finally
procured; but this was too uncomfort-
able to secure an audience. and as it
was near : residence and the family did
not desire speaking there the effort to
speak was abandoned.
1t Is due to some of the better class
of citizens of West Point to say that
am informed that majority of the
Democratic committee was opposed to
the action of the Sheriff, and urged
him to give the use of the Court House
TO the Republicans.
This neighborhood has in the past
few years received quite number of
highly respectable settlers from the
North, who have been urging others to
come; but they are Republicans and
have been accustomed to free speech
and free thought in all matters, and
they were appalled, at such an exhibit
ton of Democratic chivalry.
Such a proceeding may well cause
any intelligent and fair-minded citizen
to halt, stand still in thought, and ask
himself whether we live under free
constitutional government or under an
institution of the dark ages. The Gen
eral bore it all good-naturedly He
said that in old times Democrats always
demanded division of time with OPP
position speakers, and that in their
proceeding the Democrats of West
Point reminded him of tarrapin,
which at the appearance of an adver-
sary swallows its head, draws in its
tail, and hides itself in its shell, and
that he should hereafter call them
"Terrapin Democrats.

The Democratic policy, as announced
by Senator Hampton and Representa-
tives McCrealy and Breckenridge, is to
be one of obstruction, provided that
the Republicans introduce q measure
for change Of the rules governing Con-
gress. So much has been expected
by the country. But the people will
not hold the minority guiltless if it de-
lay needed legislation by the tactics OF
obstruction. There are matters of
great import to be acted upon; sup
preston of trusts. regulation of the
surplus, revision of the methods of col
lecting revenue, coast and harbor de-
Tense, naval rehabilitation, readjust-
ment of pensions, improvement of
waterways. If these great projects be
delayed by the factious fighting of q
minority to obstruct the passage Of
rules needful to speedier transaction
of business the voters will see to IL
that the Republican majority is in
creased to degree that will make OBJ
structive tactics vain. The temper of
the people is not favorable to a bull
DOING policy on the part of minority.

W. G. Mcbride, of the Cincinnati
Enquirer, had the following interview
with Senator Sherman at Washington ::
"Do you know" said the Senator, al
luding to his European trip, there is
general good observance of Sunday
in Germany? Up to o'clock there is
q reverence paid to the sanctity of the
day. The churches are we'll attended.
After that all the stores are open. Not
only the beer gardens, but all stores of
merchandise. Then jumping to an
other thought, he said: IAN eminent
physician in Germany said to me !:
The Germans are drinking too much
beer"
As Mr. Sherman made no special ex-
PLANTATION, / asked: Did he think
they drank too much beer in point of
morals or to the detrimcnt of health 2"
Both" he replied, more especially
to the detriment of health. Taken
moderately, his opinion was that beer
was nourishing. Taken immoderately,
he thought, it shortened life"
next asked Mr.. Sherman il he still
held to the theory that the National
Government should take charge of all
elections which involved Congressman
and members of the Electoral Col
lege.
Undoubtedly" was the rejoinder.
Il advocate such law for several rea-
sons. One is that it would be uni
form in all the States. Another that
it would save expense to the State.

be put to the expense of supplying. the

THE engineers report may have
been made public, but it does not so
appear. Colonel Carey chief OF engi-
neers refused to permit the ubiquitous
and Ubiquitous correspondent of the
st. Louis Republic to smell it, and
what Moore cannot smell has no odor
to him. Carey said when asked if
the report would be seen:
"By no means. The department has
had to enforce uniform rule with
you newspaper men. Besides that,
there is certain official courtesy due
the department and congress in this
matter. The latter does not relish
the idea of getting matter intended
for it through the medium of the
press when it should come direct
from the department itself. 1 am
sorry cannot Accommodate You, but
the report of the board will 60 direct
from this Office to the secretary OF

give it out that is his affair, but L do

THE Galveston News does not seem
to approve of Attorney General Hogg
judging from the following utter
ances in its issue of Tuesday:
"LosT-Six hundred thousand dol
lars by our agent, Jim Hogg, for the
recovery of which we offer as a re-
ward the office of governor.
THE PEOPLE"
"Six hundred thousand dollars is a
neat sum of money which a year ago
the people of Texas were kindly in
formed they had grabbed through
the efforts OF Attorney General Hogg
in forfeiting the tax exemption OF
the International and Great Northern
railroad. Where is this Doodle now?
VIII the law chief take this "lOst
cause" up to the supreme court of the
United States? Will he appeal to the
bar of public opinion, or will he sub
side? The old land board promised
the people two million dollar bOnan-
20, for which the members secured
temporary favor of election, but the
truth of failure finally became known
and the board subsidized. History re-
peats itself in Texas politics"
This comment of the News is very
much in line with the sentiment OF
the supreme court which virtually
decides that no railway property
shall pass from the hands of railway
corporations by any act insufficient
to pass title of other property from one
individual to another. This decision
may serve to check the reckless at
tempt to confscate railway property
in Texas for political ends. The mex
legislature can take a pointer from
this supreme court decision.
