POLES TAKEN AWAY.

Indiana Coal Operators Dispense With the
Foreigners.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Nov. 25.-The
news from the Sullivan county mines,
where the strike has been complicated
by the introduction of Polanders, is
that the managers of these mines have
agreed to take the Polanders away.
Messrs. Seifert, Gilmore, Harder and
Wilson spent the day at Sullivan, the
county seat comforting with Sheriff
Hawkins, who had refused to act
until an overt act was committed
by the citizens, whose warning
to the managers had availed to
keep the Polanders idle. Sheriff
Hawkins is to go to the mines at once.
to maintain order until the Polanders
can be taken away. It is said the
other miners have returned to work at
Alum Cave, and will do so at the other
mines tomorrow. Very few, if any,
of the Sullivan county miners had been
members of the United Mine Workers
union, which ordered the strike
throughout the state. The alarming
situation in this county was almost
wholly due to the opposition of farm
ers, who work off and on in the mines,
to the presence of the Polanders. A
mass meeting OF Parke county miners
was held at Rosedale yesterday after
noon, when addresses were made by
President Rae. of the national
union; John Nugent, of the ma
tional executive board, and Presi-
dent Cummisky. of the state
organization. When. the state officers
ordered the strike President Rae tele-
graphed against the strike. He ex-
planned why he did SO, and the meeting
adopted vote of confidence. adjourn
ing with an expression of satisfaction
with the outlook, after appointing dele
gates to the convention to be held We'd
nesday. The Parke county miners had
not been enthusiastic in the strike, but
the address of President Rae evidently
inspired them with the belief that after
Wednesdays convention the national
union will indorse the strike and thus
put the strikers on the list for relief
from the strike fund.

politically. During his term he was
nominated as the republican candi-

trict but was defeated by Matson,
whose majority, however, was reduced
from 1862 to 543. His nomination for
lieutenant governor in 1883 was with

for some time that he would be can

Velvet Sar Rumea


Many of the quaint and pretty French
toilets OF India cashmere are finished at
the skirt hem with three '<bebe
ruffies" of velvet overlapping each
other, the top one ending in a tiny
standing frill This trimming is not a
new one, but it is made to look like a
novelty upon these gowns By the deft
and perfect manner in which the
ruffies are adjusted and by the richness
and beauty of color of the various vel
vets used. If the ruffles are made one
bit too wide the effect is spoiled and
they look dowdy and passe- They must
be no more than two inches in width
when finished and ready to SHREK

Uprising in Northern Characterization
Massacred and station Pinndered.
PARIS. Nov. ga dispatch has been
received here from Pekin which con-
firms the statement that armed bands
have devastated q whole district In the
northern part of China and that they
have pillaged and burned the Belgian
missions
In addition to the destruction to the
mission stations at Tayou and Sanchi,
where over 100 converted natives were
massacred by the bloodthirsty bands,
the station at Cabot was sacked and
burned The priest in charge of the
mission, Belgian by birth, was killed
by tue mob and several other Christians
were also massacred.
The natives had heretofore been
quiet and there was no sign in the least
that the revolt was meditated. The
local authorities therefore had taken
no steps to suppress any outbreak, and
when the natives rose they met with
no material opposition, for the people
were practically helpless
It may be stated that the local gov
ernor has reported the occurrence to
the Pekin government He does not
place the blame upon the natives of
the province. but attaches the respon-
sibility Of the crime to bands Of Mon
golian robbers who, he says, made a
raid through the district.

A GREAT mistake perhaps was made
when DR.. Sherman named his great remedy
Prickly Ash BITTERs; but it is presumed
that at that time all remedies for the blood
etc. were called Bitters. Had he called it

almost anything but Bdters, it undoubtedly
would have superseded all other prepare

Is misleading; it is purely a medicine, and

approval of all comrades who have uppermost
in their hearts the welfare of the Order and
of all survivors of the Union army. We in
the North may possibly not fully appreciate the
feelings of cur Southern comrades upon the
subject, but as presented to the Eucampment,
it savOrs too much Of the ku klnx and shot

sissippi-a political question, pure and simple;
as surely such rs a proposition which might
come from New York City to organize sepa-

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: From Kansas
City and Detroit comes the news that efforts
are being made 90 organize companies or assOcia-
tiOns composed of alternate layers Of loyalty
aud disIoyalty, to be known as the Blue and
the Gray"
These sandwich combinations Of cranks and
frauds propose to place themselves on exhibit
ton at the Worlds Fair in Chicago, for the
purpose Of giving object lessons in loyalty to
visiting foreigners and 10 the generation which
has grown up in this country since the sup
preston Of the rebellion. The fact is that no
man who served in the Union army and was
not coffee cooler" and skulker" unless he
is an imbecilel would so far forget his honorable
service as to associate in this way with rebels
whom he contended against during the strug-
gle for National unity.
And. again, the display of rebel flags and the
incendiary speeches delivered at their Reunions
and at the unyailHg Of monuments erected in
memory Of prominent leaders Of the South
would not justify the conclusion that these
rebels, who fought for the perpetuati0n Of
slavery and the destruction Of our National
Government, have changed their views and be-
come worshipers at the shrine Of restored
Union Of States.
This attempt to make disIoyalty respectable
by the miugliug together Of rebel bushwback-
ers and conscripts and Union frauds and imbe-
Giles should be promptly suppressed and its in
stgatOrs consigned TO institutions for cranks or
feeble-mnded people. IL is we'll known that
the loyal people OF this country are becoming
weary Of this gray" business. 1t does not
represent anything which ought TO be per-
petuated. 10 is typical Of slavery, secession,
and the wanton slaughter Of 100000 Of the best
men that ever stood in battle-lino in defense Of
country and human rights
When the rebel armies surrendered the rank
and file were treated more like erring school
boys than traitors 30 theircountry. They were
hidden to take their horses 90 home, and be-
have themselves. Their swagger and assumed
airs of superiority had been completely knocked
out of them in the contest, aud it was hoped
that neither the "swagger" nor tho "gray 4"
woulI ever appear again. They had gone down
in battle with their companion, slavery, never
to rise again. and it lily becomes anyone who
