MINERS ON A STRIKE.
Higher Wages and Lower CompanyCharees
Demanded.

hal8her wages and L0wor COmpanyCharges
Demanded.
Work at the Ashland and Norrie mines,
Hurley, Wis.,, has been suspended on ac-
count OF strikes, the trammers at the Nor.
rio and the timbermen, LADDERS, TRAINERS
and miners working on company account
at the Ashland demanding increase Of pay
and certain CONCESSIONS. At the Norrie
the TRAINERS demand that the company
percentage or dockage for expenses,
amounting to ten cars out Of every hun
dred, be surrendered, while the TRAINERS
at the Ashland demand an advance from 18
to ~ cents per car. and to pay for their
own candles, etc. The timbermen at the
Ashland struck for al advance from $l.S5
to 50 per day, the landers for q 20 per cent.
advance and the miners working on COM
pany account want the company expense
percentage taken off. AS the mines cannot
be operated without the assistance Of
the strikers 5000 or 1000 men are idle. Il
is expected that the men at the Mount
Hope, Aurora, East Aurora, Pabst and
other mines will follow il the demands Of
strikers are moi granted, and it is possible
the strike will extend to all the mines
in the range. The men claim that the
mines are being worked at q greater profit
than usual this year, and as wages were re.
duced when times were dull the same rule
should work to cause an increase, now
that the mines are making money. The
trouble has been brewing for some time,
and has been hastened by tho position
taken by Mr.. Dickman, manager of the
Penokee and Gogebic properties, in con-
nection with the late strike at Aurora mine
over the selection of q mining physician.
The management claimed that the men
had no right to a vote in the selection of
a doctor, though they were assessed
monthly to pay him. The men are Of
darlv.

Too FREQ with the Wine.

The recent state ball given by Sir Alex.
ander Campbell, lieutenant governor of
Ontario, degenerated from the highest and
most select society event in the province
into q wild debauch. The whole affair has
been kept quiet, but the truth has leaked
t Among the 800 or GOO guests
assembled at the ball were ID number of
young men who were apparently not accus-
toned to move in any society but the low
est. How they received invitations is a
mystery, but they received them, accepted
and came. They visited the buffets and
supper room frequently, and before mid
night had imb,bed a great quantity
OF the governors best vine. One of the
Young men, wishing to do the proper
thing, as he thought, went up to his ex-
c~ellency and asked him to join the party
in the supper-room and have a drink with
them. The governor, astonished at the
request, politely refused. but the young
man persisted, and selling the governor
by his coat tails tried to pull HIM toward
the nearest buffet. His eScellency at.
tempted to release himself from the tipsy
youth, but in the attempt his coat suffered.
There was u sound of ripping cloth andthe
governors coat tails parted company with
tho rest of his garment. The boisterous
crowd then rushed for the supper-room,
and a number of guests assembled there
left at once, the Language used by the riot
ers being unfit for any society. Then en-.
sued a terrible scene. Cakes, sandwiches
and other eatables were thrown about pell
nell. The aides de. camp who were gent
to quell the disturbance suffered in a sim.
iiar manner, and soon the party were in q
highly intoxicated state. The tables we're
overturned and hundreds of dollars worth
OF costly china and glassware was broken.
Finally a squad Of police arrived and ar.
rested every member of the too jovial
crowd. Some twenty of them were locked
up. but afterward released by order of the
governor, who did not wish the scandal to

Opposed tn Immigration,

Considerable excitement has been caused
in the vicinity of Emporia by tho stand
taken 10y the farmers on the immigration
question. Some time the business
men formed IL branch of the State Tmmi-
grafton society, aud have been laboring
zealously to carry out the objects of the
organization. Ike business men had suf-
ficient influence to control the county CON-
%missioners, and m appropriation to en-
courage immigration was suggested. Re-
Gently the agricultnrists of Linn county
met and passed resolutions against the
proposed appropriation, and in round
terms attacked the immigration society
aud its objects. The allionce claims that
things are bad enough now, and if more
people are induced to come here the con.
dition of affairs will be oven worse. The
commissioners. however, ut their meeting
to-day appropriated 500, and now the
alliance threatens to fight the matter at
the polls.

Opposed I.x Catholics.

The Bennett school law agitation in
Wisconsin has taken a sensational turn.

Flasch, of La Crosse, and Bishop Katzer,
OF Green Bay, the three Catholic prelates
OF Wisconsin, have prepared and signed n
lengthy statement to the Catholics OF the
state, denouncing the Bennett law. earn
estly protesting against its enforcement
and boldly demanding its repeal. The
document has been furnished the Catholic
organ of the state and will be made public
in q few days. The prelates declare that
the law is at variance with American prin.
clples, that it is ~antagonistic to the Catho-
lie church and the Catholic people, and
that it should never have been adopted.
The voters OF Wisconsin are called upon
to oppose the law in every manner possible
ut the polls. There is n divt on Of opin-
