ENGLISH WHITE SLAVES.

James Hunt, of Bristol, England,
in an essay, says: At the close of the
great American civil war, Is years
ago, was a volunteer helper among
10000 freed slaves, on the Yorktown
peninsula, in the slave breeding state
of Virginia; and from intimate per
sonal acquaintance with large num-
bers of those people, unhesitatingly
assert my conviction that England
with all her boasted freedom and
Christianity, has a worse-though
more refined and money making sys-
tem-of white slavery, that even negro
slavery was, and that its results are as
fatal and demoralizing. Every black
negro slave was worth from $50 to 5000
to his owner, and self-interest made
the owner take decent care of such
valuable property, just as some men
in this country care more for valuable
cattle, dogs and horses, than they do
for their own flesh and blood. In
civilized England white slaves have no
commercial value, and the sweating
capitalist, or the graspipg middleman,
can grind his victims to death, between
the neither millstones of free competi.
ton; drive them to prostitution on the
streets, or bury them in pauper's
graves; and none bat the poor is any
loser, because as fast as the victims
fall, there are plenty more to fill their
places. All this goes on under the
Free Trade commercial dogma, of
"buying in the cheapest Market" and
churchmen and dissenters are alike
guilty Of their brothers. and sisters
blood.

Starting the Coke Works.

ScoTTDALE, Pa, April 13.-There was
unusual activity all along the line to-day,
owing to the fact that the Frick and Nc
Clure companies had decided to begin
operations at all the plants possible. The
Mcclure company concentrated their ef-
forts on their Painter plant and SO the
men went to work there today. The 9TH
or Mcclure plants at Lemont, Donnelly,
Diamond, Buckeye, Rising Sun, Besse-
mer and Mayield are still totally idle,
however. Prick & Co. state that their
shipments to-day will reach 100
cars of coke, but the work.
ers deny this as usual.
Some twenty eviction notices have been
served at the Trotter plant alone and, in
view of the fact that fully 200 notices
have been served throughout this region,
it is thought the trouble will come when
the warrants are carried out, as the
strikers will certainly not go peaceably.
Great mass meetings have been held at
Bessemer and other points to-day, and at
each resolutions were adopted to remain
out until the end.

Citizens of a Neighboring Burg.
WILKES BARRE, Pa, April "a seri-
GUS riot occurred at Kingston, just across
the river from this city this afternoon
while the local fire brigade was engaged
in extinguishing fire. Mitchell DUFFY
from Edwardsville forced his way inside
the lines. Upon refusing to get out, the
firemen turned the hose on him. Anum-
Der of Edwardsville men who were
watching the fire became angry at this
and, jumping over the ropes, attacked
the firemen fercely. The latter etoutlv
defended themselves and in short time
no less than 25 men were engaged IN .
hand-to-hand encounter. Stones. climbs.
wrenches and everything that could he
used as weapon was welded. The fire.
men were soon outnumbered and were
on the point of beating retreat when the
police appeared and engaged at once
with the rioters. In the meantime rein.
forcements arrived from .Edwardsvilla
and the battle became general. The bus
mess men along Main street, seeing the
police beaten back by the Edwardsyiile
people, took hand in the fraoas. The
fight was long and bloody, and when. al
the end OF an hour, the Edwardsyilla
forces. were put to flight, there were no less
than twenty men badly injured on each
SIDE. Broken heads, noses and limbs
kept the doctors Of both towns busy for
hours, and it is feared that one OF two
may die from their injuries. Duffy was
arrested and is now in Jail. Is.
