AN UGLY STRIKE.
The Great Coke Strike Is Nearing
Its End.

Its End.
PITTsBURG, Pa, May --latest ad-
vices from the coke region go rather to
verify the words uttered by Frick. the
coke king, when he first determined to
run his works with nOn-union men:
"Gentlemen, we must run our plants,
and we will" Foreigners are
arriving in the regions at the
rate of seven to ten carloads
per day and are distributed throughout
the Frick plants, that company having
been the first and most determined to
break the strike. 1t is estimated to.
night that there are nearly 1000 men
working at the different plants, includ-
ing those at the w. j. Rainey ovens.
Ralney, though paying the old wages,
has never recognized the organization.
OF 1900 at work. very few are old strik-
erS, the bulk being imported men. aud
1t IS thought the strike cannot be held
much longer against this influx. The
men are now on their thirteenth week
of strike, and coke shipments are at the
rate of about l 100 cars per week. one
eighth of the shipments when the region
IS running full. For some reason the
operators are not attempting to fire any
new plants. desiring, first apparently
~ nave luOoe DIT present III operation
fully manned before starting fires al
others. BY some well-infOrmed person
it is said the operators were not all
adverse to entering the strike, though
they are certainly making siren.
uOus efforts to eXtricate them
selves now. Anticipating a strike
but of few weeks duration
all the mills iii this vicinity loaded uu
with coke, buS are now sadly harassed.
Operators say they themselves were un-
willing TO use the last coke, and 1t now
seems that the most deadly weapon
against the strike Is labor importation,
and unless they return to work, it looks
as if the $4,000 men still idle in the re-
gion, will be forced from their work,
homes, and even the region. The men,
however, are fighting gamely, and
say they will yet win. That
the operators have not everything
their own way is shown by the strikes
at many plants, when labor leaders have
succeeded i'll inducing the men to quit
in every case either taking care of them
with their relief fund. or getting them
work at other places. This will 90 down
in history as one of the most stubbornly
contested and disastrous strikes known
in this section, in addition to losses OF
property and life. and scenes of riot,
ana bloOdshed that may be repeated any
day before the ugly chapter closes.

AN ANTI-PINKERroN BILL.

The Massachusetts house of repre-
sentatives lately defeated by single
vote an anti-Pinkerton bill. 1t prohib-
tied the employment of persons not resi-
dents of the state as emergency special
officers to preserve the peace or protect
property. 1t was in line with the legis-
Iation in several of the states that have
had hordes of irresponsible fellows
brought in by the PINKERToNs to re-
press disturbances in the case of strikes.
This legislation is specially demanded
by the labor organizations of the coun.
try. 1t was not party measure in the
Massachusetts legislature, but the vote
on it ran nearly on party lines. The
Democrats gave SO majority for it, and
the Republicans 20 majority against it.
Any state that cannot suppress riots
and protect property without the aid of
mercenaries from abroad should turn
over its police department to the PINK
ERTONS.

various others not fully formulated.
The estimated cost of these additions is
81, 900, 100000. Under the present laws
the number of pensioners by the end of
next month will be 6O0.000, with about
100000 applications to be acted upon.
1t would be ungracious and ungrateful
to deny to any worthy soldier of the re-
public recognition that is needful to his
well being. but there may be some hes
itation in expending $1,000, 900, 900 or so
at the instance and largely for the ben
eft of ctaim agents. 1t may be the less
expensive way to vote million or so
to each of the agents as sedative to
their feverish activities.
THE PROGRESSIVE PARTY.
The st. Louis Globe-Democrat has
never wavered in its support Of the Re-
publican party, but has for years had
habit of saying things that make the Os-
trich-headed partisans of its school feel
uncomfortable. 1t now says the Repub-
lican party lacks san influential and
widely read press" and that the ''young
men and the sons and founders of Re-
publicanism are either acting with the
Democratic party, or at least they are
not actively supporting the Republican
party" Similar confessions have been
made by CLARKsoN and the other po-
litical doctors, who fancy that the dis
ease can be cured by processes similar
to those the Christian science medi-
cants are reputed to rely upon. People
are to be induced to take and read
Republican papers as party duty,
and to regain their faith in po-
litical dogmas and party leaders
they have learned to distrust. 1t is
remembered that when the Republicans
had different class Of leaders and is
sues that stirred the pulses of young
men. there was no complaint that the
Republican press lacked support, or
that the ranks of the party wanted
youthful enthusiasm. Democratic pa
pers were infrequent, and had small
share in shaping popular thought.
Among half-score daily papers at Chi
cagO but one supported the Democratic
party, and was somewhat erratic. 1t
was difficult to find widely read Dem
ocratic daily in the Northwest, where
the picture drawn by the st. Louis pa
per and CLARKsoN is quite as realistic
as in New England or the Eastern
states. There has been new align
ment OH new issues since the
slavery question. and war adjust
mentS passed out of the view. The
line still runs along the old names
but they represent different principles,
and policies. The phlebotomy of the
sixth decade let out whatever of bad
blood had gathered in Democratic veins,
and the party became again, as in the
early time, the party of the people and
of equal rights. The Republican party
was possessed by the classes that de-
manded special privileges and narrow,
illiberal policies. The founders of the
Republican party were largely men of
honest purposes, and it is not surpris-
lug that the survivors of them so largely
find their place with the Democrats,
and that their sons and the best blood
of the young men generally is with the
party of the broadest and most inspir-
ing aims.

HAS TWO OWNERS.
That the Legal Trouble With a
Valuable Tract of Land.


OMAHA, Neb., May THE title to
eight acres of very valuable land in the
manufacturing suburb of East Omaha
has been called in question The
property is now worth many thousands
of dollars. Leonard K. Bloedel has put
in a claim for the property, and an
nounces that he will proceed to take
possession. He holds quit claim deed
for one Hugh Wittell, who entered
upon the land and lived upon it
until 1888. The tract was made
ground, being a creation along the
old river bed and is at present part of
the ground that has been improved
by tine East Omaha Land company. The
land company has filed a petition in
equity in the United States district
court asking that Bloedel be restrained
from taking possession of the land.
The petition sets forth that Wttell
never acquired legal title to the prop
erty. and therefore his quitclaim deed
to Broedel was of no value. The case
will be watched with much interest
The East Omaha Land company claims
to have clear title to the property.

DR.. CRAIG's door that these districts
cover wide extent of territory. That
is the result of our population's distri-

of the state to its northern boundary
because the counties included in them

sional districts are reckoned not accord
ing to the number of their square miles,
but according to the number of their
inhabitants. This may not be right
from the archaeological standpoint, but
it follows the constitution and the stat

MINNEAPOLIS COMMENT.

There is nothing like having friends, but
particularly that class of friends that stand
by one when most needed. After Judge
Young left the bench he announced, with
great flourish of trumpets, that he would
hang out his shingle and draw up pleadings
as in days gone by. But, though he did all
this, he has had few cases in court not be-
cause there were none for him. but because
he was otherwise, and perhaps more profit
ably, engaged. Since the beginning of the
year Judge Young has been either appraising
land at handsome salary or acting as as
signee in some case. 1t was only last Satur-
day that Judge Hooker appointed him COM
missioner to appraise some lands that the
Minneapolis Eastern road is interested in.
If every disappointed oficeseeker were as
we'll cared for by his friends as Judge Young
has been since he retired, there would be con-
siderable consolation in being disappointed.

Some people have always an eye to busi-
ness. A few days ago the local press an
nounced the details of scheme that ex-
County Attorney Jameson successfully car
ried through, whereby he became the lucky
possessor of several hundred acres of yalua-
BILE mining land in this state Following this
announcement was little meeting of a few
political friends of Mr.. Jameson in the
Guaranty Loan building Without exception
they all thought that Jameson would be q
good man for congress If his mineral land
proved TO be half as good as represented.
Carmen n. Smith, who dropped in towards
the close, thought some of those present had
better let candidates rest for while and
George Marchant positively refused to be a
party to any scheme that was likely to injure
his own chances. Marehant thinks there is
not much honor in delivering sugar free of
sugar to the public, while he is being held
responsible for McKinley's blunders on other
imports.

Several Republican evening papers pub
terview with Representative Moore, of the
elevator investigating committee, which
makes interesting reading and shows how a
defeated candidate looks at the man who de-
feated him. Mr.. Moore as member of that
committee, knows that Senator Geissel is
anxious to do all in his power to probe the
elevator crookedness to the bottom, and if
he is a good Alliance man Mr.. Moore should
assist him, rather than devote his time to
stirring up trouble in the committee. If Mr.
Moore talks much more in the strain he did
yesterday he will force people to the conclu-
sion that he knows as little about how Mr..
GeIssel was elected as he does about the
authorship of the report he presented to the
house. To show how unfounded his re-
fections upon Senator Geissel are, a few
words dropped by the Morrison statesman
yesterday are reproduced:
after we had balloted some time for a
chairman said Senator Geissel, Senator
John Day Smith came to me and offered to

committee is the veriest bosh Nothing of

statesman is really in earnest in this matter

tleman who wrote his report and is keeping

the Democratic caucus were Congressman
Bocock, of Virginia, and Congressman

the partisans of either and so determined
