LONDON. June I5.-The Southern
Baptist association has passed a resolu-
tion condemning the prince OF Wales
for the part he took in the baccarat
scandal and Instructed the secretary to
send the prince a copy OF the resolution

blythe adverse criticisms which have
been showered upon him from all quar-
ters. Especially is this the case in re-
gard TO the newspaper comments which
practically accuse him Of revealing the
REGRETS Of the affair The prince en-
phatically denies that he divulged the
secret TO anybody.
In the house OF commons next Mon
day, Mr. William Summers aiberall
will question the secretary Of the state

The Rural Workman makes an argu-
ment.
II is charged that the bill is uncon-
stitutional and impracticable. Five
questions as TO governmental authority
NAV be raised. thus:
The right OF the government
/. To purchase land.
>. To build warehouses.
3. To appoint agents.
d 4. To receive deposits.
3. To loan money.
The first four have been settled toe
long 10 talk about. Let us see about
the fifth. The government loaned
money to the Centennial Exposition, 10
the New Orleans Exposition. to the ma
tional banks and without interest, 10
the Pacific railroads. Now, when
the poor burden bearing farmer,
who is the foundation Of
the whole structure, whose prosperity
means prosperity to everybody else,
asks that he be allowed to have the use
Of money at living rates, the howl Is
raised that II is unconstitutional and
impracticable; and this howl is raised
because. forsooth, the beneticiaries Of
the present antiquated. barbaric and
iniquitous system dictate TO the parti-
san sheets what they shall say. BE not
deceived. brethren. the bill is neither
unconstitutional nor impracticable.
The writer started out two years ago
opposed to IL in toto. and after nearly
two years OF hard thinking and study
has come 10 the conclusion that il is
worth the trial.
In noting precedents, let the brethren
not forget that the government has
been a stakeholder in two United States
banks. from each Of which it derived a
large profit, the last leaving so large
fund that the government was able TO

Only when such shameful scenes as
are now being enacted in Pennsylvania
are forced upon public attention, do the
people of the United States realize the
true misery and disgrace OF the indus
trial condition OF things in the mining
regions OF this country. In these re-
gions most OF the intelligent American
working men have long since been sup
planted by thousands Of ignorant and
helpless pauper laborers from Europe,
who have been imported by millionaire
coal barons TO cheaper the cost Of pro-
duction. Occasionally these miserable
creatures. who are brought over here
to render the laboring class Of America
equally miserable, revolt and endeavor
TO free themselves from the tyranny OF
the great companies which force them
TO live on starvation wages and TO eke
out a hand TO mouth existence practic
ally no better than slavery. Or, per-
haps, they resist when the wealthy coal
monopolists give the screw another
twist for the purpose Of wringing out
increased profits from the toll OF these
miserable creatures. On these occa-
sions the power Of the state is invoked
and the militia sent for, riot occurs and
blood is shed. Men. women and chill
dren become violent and desperately
against the authority OF law, and vio-
lence is only finally stamped out by en-
ploying the military powers Of the
state.
How long will acivilized land permit
men who have amassed enormous for
tunes in monopollzing the fuel supply
of the country to import these poor
creatures from Europe to starve OPP

the worm they turn, have them shot
down like dogs World Herald.

Prohibition in the Convention.

Believing as does Mrs. Cougar, that
the drink evil Is the cause OF poverty
and the greatest menacing danger,
there is but one course for her 10 take;
that is 10 continue 10 work for the up
building OF the prohibition party. Be-
lieving as | do, that poverty is the large
underlying cause Of intemperance, be-
lieving that monopoly, the concentra-
tion OF wealth and power In the hands
OF a few, and the increasing poverty,
degradation and helplessness of the
many are the near evils which threaten
the life Of the republic, there IL but one
course for me 10 pursue; that is to work
with might and main for the success OF

imminent peril TO the nation
and TO save the homes and the liberties
of common pen IL was no easy thing
for one who dc everything connect

non-protesting body. But il is my
solemn conviction that the evils which
threaten the life Of the nation win not
await the slow progress Of the CONVEX
sion OF the voters TO the cause of prohi-
bition. Wreck and ruin, chaos and
anarchy would be our fate were we 10

adjustment of the demands OF the farm
ers and laborers OF America | learned
this hard lesson inside the ranks and in
the service and belief OF the prohibition
party, therefore know well.
] am moreover not afraid TO trust this
great, earnest. sincere and conscientious
political movement. IL does not pro-
fess to be prohibition party. therefore
II makes no hypocritical bid for prohi-
bitionists who are not believers in its
economic doctrines. IL has need. alas,
Of the vast numbers OF voters who un-
happily do not yet see the wisdom and
the need OF abolishing the liquor traf-
fic.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,
CLEVELAND, May 4-There is prospect of
5000 men being thrown out of employment In
the mills here this week, owing to the long
drawn out coke strike in Pennsylvania All
the departments of the immense Cleveland
rolling mills and others in this section have
been SO changed that they cannot use coal in
place Of the lessening supply of coke. For
some weeks the supply has been growing less
and some DAYS ago the great Bessemer plant
was obliged to suspend operations.
Yesterday morning the fires of one of the
rod mills down the valley were banked, and the
men were told there would be no work until
the coke strike was ended. The stock of Bes-
semer is almost exhausted, and by tomorrow
ii is thought the blooming, rail and bar mills
will be shut down, which will soon be folio wed
by the several blast furnaces. IL is Thought
the scarcity of coke will have good effect in
causing such general shutdown that when
the mills resume there will be a good price
paid for iron and steel
