SCOTCH RIOT.
Military and Police Charge Upon Rail-
road Strikers.

Military and Polio. Charge Upon Rail-
road Strikers.
GLASGOW, Jan. 6--The Caledonian
Railway Company made third attempt
to evict their striking employees from
their tenements at Motherwell. An i'm
mense crowd gathered in anticipation of
the movement, and stone-throwing was
at once begun.
The sheriff read the riot act, and as
the crowd did not dispense, the military
and police charged and a desperate con-
flict ensued, in which many of the rioters
were injured by blows from the batons
of the officers. Six of the injured were
removed to hospitals in a serious condi-
ton.
A party of miners, returning from
Motherwell, sacked shop at Blantyre.
The military were summoned to prevent
further disorder there 1t is feared that
the sympathy of the miners for the
strikers has introduced an element of
turbulence into the hitherto orderly con-
duct of the strike.
At a mass meeting of strikers the pro.
vost and all responsible for the evictions
were bitterly denounced. John Burns
delivered n speech in which Che promised
the strikers the support of the London
unions. He predicted an early victory
for the strikers.
All the miners in the Motherwell dis
trict suspended work last evening, and
were largely responsible for the riots.
There were 10000 people about the
streets of the suburb at an early hour
this morning. and great ill-feeling and
excitement prevails.

THEY have been having hair cutting

rules Of the contest being that each man

AFTER the cruel struggle is over in
which whole tribes are driven out to
starve in the wintry waste, and women
and children are shot down in every
skirmish-let us make up our minds to
deal with the Indians with some sense of
our responsibility toward them. We
have taken their lands; we have
changed their mode of life; we have
charged ourselves with their future.
Let there be no more cheating them,
stealing from them, lying to them, or
starving them. We owe them living,
and we should pay them the debt in a
way that becomes a great nation. Any
other government could exterminate
the Indians but it ought to be the
glory of this government to save them.

THE proposed visit of the emperor of
Germany to Paris naturally creates a
stir in the European world of politics
and diplomacy. The imperial sojourn al
the capital Of the French republic is to
be ostensibly incoEnito, without the
tender or acceptance Of any official re-
cognition. But that, nevertheless, the
visit must be. to effect a political event,
is shown by the conferences regarding it
between Chancellor. Won Caprivi and
the French ambassador at Berlin, and
by the consideration Of the matter in the
cabinet of President Carnot. Privately
or publicly, or, as matter Of fact, with
ostentatiouS Publication Of privacy, the
going to Paris in peaceful guiss Of the
grandson OF the conquering invader, is
an occurrence which, if unattended
with untoward incidents, will be inspirit-
ing to the friends of international peace.
The total number Of failures in the
United States in 1890 WAS 10,673, or 8
per cent less than were reported to
| Bradstreet's in 1889, and only q little in
excess Of the total of 1888, prior to the
panic year Of 1894. Gross assets and
liabilities in 1890 are about equal to
those in 1888, but are 80 per cent and
24.7 per cent heavier, respectively, than
in 1889. The most conspicuous failures
last year were among private bankers
and state banks, of which there wore SO,
with nearly $4,000, 900 gross liabilities.

MATRIMONIAL NOTICES.

Queer Things fin tho "Courtshlp Corner" of
Scotch journal.
This is the name given to an advcr-
Using department in some of the Scotch
newspapers, answering to the Person
al column in some of our American
journals, says the New York Ledger
In justice to "Cannie Scotland" we
must say that its "Courtship Corners"
arc not occupied by notices which are
ut all cquivocal. The Calcdonians in
pursuit of love through the press seem
to be in search of the legitimate article.
Matrimony appears to be their object,
and characteristic desire for dowry is
most automatically apparent in many
of the advertisements.
Some of the announcements are very
funny. For example, three young
ladies, aged respectively sixteen, nine
teen and twcnty-onc," announce that
they have set their hearts on marrying
"three special constables." Why special
constables? Upon what metaphysical
principle can this pr cjudice in favor of
tipstavcs be explained? Let us hope
they have been taken into custody. "a
Tilted young lady" wishes to unite her
self to "a Tilted young gentlcman'-for
the reason, we suppose, that misery
loves company and a young lawyer,
high in position" would be willing to
chain himself for life to young lady
with three hundred pounds q year.
Advertising being costly, and the
Scotch IN economical people, the can
didates for matrimony in the Court
ship Corner" appeal in groups to the
scnsibilities of the unmarried, the cx-
pensc of the notices being divided, share
and share alike, among the parties in
tcrested.
1t is interesting to know that Young
Scotland is tolcrably quick, although it
cannot keep pace with Young America.
