One of Dangerous Gang of Thieves in
the Tolls.
Sheriff Dunster, of Nevada County,
came up from San Francisco yesterday
with David Fitzgerald, who was captured
by the police of the metropolis recently
while endeavoring to dispose of guam
tity of property stolen at Grass Valley
and other places in Nevada and Placer
Counties.
Fitzgerald is supposed to be one of a
gang of expert safe-crackers and burglars
who, within the past three months, oper-
ated extensively in the counties named.
His partners were Charles Thornton and
Thomas Randolph, neither of whom have
as yet been apprehended. The police of
this city are possessed of information that
leads them to believe that Thornton and
Randolph are the men who recently blew
open the safe in A. S. Hopkins dc Bros
store in this city.
Sheriff Dunster. He admits that he sold
properly for Thornton and Randolph,
but denies that he was ever implicated
with them in any robberieS. He first
met them in Sacramento month or so
ago, he says, and while he agreed to dis
pose of the stolen property for them, they
did not MAKE Il confidant of him, nor tell
him where they got the goods. BY their
instructions he sold to l. Zemansky, who
Keeps q store on X street near Third.
about $3.50 worth Russian leather purses,
jewelry, silverware, neckties, necklaces,
pistols, scissors and notions-all for SIG.
Sheriff Dunster and police officer Glib
son of this city went to Zemansky's yes
terday afternoon and recovered nearly
all of the property sold there by Fitz-
gerald. Zemansky identified the pris-
oner as the man who sold him the goods.
Fitzgerald denies all knowledge of the
present whereabouts of Randolph and
Thornton. He says he has not seen them
since they were in Sacramento. At that
time they stopped at one of the principal
uptown hotels, wore plug hats and af-
fected to be very elegant gentlemen gen.
orally.
Fitzgerald viii be taken to Grass Val
ley to-day, where he will be tried.

PITTsBURG, March 6.-The long strike
of coal miners in the Monongahela VAL
ley has ended in a complete victory for
the men. This morning the operators de-
cided to concede to the demands of the
strikers for an advance in the mining
rate of one-half cent per bushel and re-
sumo work Monday. The strike was
one of the longest and most determined
ever known in this section. 1t lasted ten
weeks, and 5000 men lost in wages alone
over 81 100000. The absence of this great
amount of money in the valley caused
actual suffering among not only the
miners and their families, but great ma
jority of other persons dependent di-
rectly or indirectly upon the mining of
coal for Il living. Beside the miners, the
strike affected great army of other
laborers.

EUROPE'S QUARRELS
OUR PEACE.
ENSURE

The United States is not safe from for
eign war merely because 5000 miles of
water roll between US and any formidable
foe. Oceans that were once deemed obsta-
cles have now become easy highways of
invasion. The steam tonnage of Europe
is so vast that an alliance of any two of
the great powers of Europe would enable
them to invade US with million oftrained
soldiers. Europe could blockade all our
ports on both the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts. From Halifax, Bermuda, st. Luz
cia and Jamaica England could assail our
Atlantic coast, and could send powerful
military force from Halifax to British CO.
lumbia in ten days to operate against our
Pacific coast. If any two of the great
powers of Europe should undertake to
despoil our coasts we could today offer no
effectual resistance, and our only security
lies in the fact that no two great powers
could undertake such an expedition with
out inviting instant interference on part
of other great powers of Europe.
War between England and America is
not possible. The statesmen of both coun-
tries are above the suspicion of creating a
situation which admitted of no solution
short of war. There are no two conti-
mental powers of Europe that are in a sit
uation to spare 800. 900 men to harrass g.
coo, 600 of intelligent, pugnacious people
such as inhabit the United States. Ger
many is between two vindictive and pow
erful foes, Russia and France, and she
could not stir, and if Russia and France
assailed rs, Germany and Austria would
| assail them. Thus the jealousies and rival
ries of the great continental powers of
Europe save America from any danger of
serious European invasion, because the
powers of Europe have SO much to do to
maintain an equilibrium of peace and
safety at home that no one or two of them
can afford to assume the additional burden
of a vast war abroad.
Theoretically we are in danger Of foreign
invasion because our wealth and our
military and naval weakness invite attack.
but practically We are in no danger what
ever, because even Germany is so handi-
capped by the situation that she is helpless
TO conduct great war against the United
states Inc great powers OF continental
Europe arc all so divided against each other
that neither Germany. Russia or France
could afford, sngle-handed, TO make war
on the United states. Germany could not
spare 5000 men 20 make war upon the
United States for fear of Russia and
France. and neither Russia nor France
can afford to make war upon our country.
because their hour of difficulty would be
Germany's welcome opportunity.

The Tennessee legislature has refused to
abrogate the cruel convict lease system,
which places the convicts completely un
der the control of the contractor and re-
moves them from that official oversight
which is necessary to prevent abuse. The
penal system Of the South, by the confess
sion of Governor Gordon. of Georgia; of
George w. Cable, of louisiana; of the
governor of Alabama and the leading
Southern press, disgraces the country and
the age by Its barbarities. The convict
camps in Arkansas in 1888 were denounced
by the leading paper of the state under
the caption, "a He'll in Arkansas" Mis-
sissippi is the only state that has
abolished the convict lease system,
and made preparations for dealing with
criminals according to modern methods.
Under the new Mississippi constitution
convict leasing is extinct, and hereafter
Mississippi criminals will be employed
upon the levees and other state work,
instead of being let to contractors, and
made to labor as the slaves of the highest
bidder The state will also purchase q
large tract of land, and set the prisoners
to work upon its plantation.

THE NEW YORK DEMOCRACY.

The Democrats Of New York have nom
mated Roswell P. Flower, congress
man from the Twelfth New York dis
tfict, for governor, and William +.
Sheehan for lieutenant governor.
These nominations are in accordance
with the schedule of Governor Hill
and Tammany Hall. Flower has had
the support Of all factions during the can
yass, but Sheehan is an out and out parti-
san of Hill, and has been the leader of the
anti-CIeveIand Democracy of Buffalo in
the local con tests for delegates to the con-
vcntion. Flower is a millionaire who has
served several terms in congress; he is
personally popular and will probably run
ahead of his ticket in Jefferson county,
in WATERFOWL unYl he was "a years of age,
but in 1869 Henry Keep, his brother-in-
law, died and left 100000 to be taken
care Of Flower then moved to New York
city and became a successful financier.
he has a weak financial record in con-
voted in the House of Representatives
with the friends of free silver. Governor
Hill, in his speech of September 23d, 1890,
attacked the present silver law of July
14th, 1890, on the ground that "this act
puts heavier strain upon our resources
than free bi-metallic coinage without for
eign cooperation would do, and obstructs
our progress towards that end, which we
all desire to reach-the free coinage of sill
yer upon proper international ratio"
He favors 15X to as the proper inter-
national ratio, because that is the ratio at
which the silver coin of Europe has been
chiefly struck. This means that Governor
Hill is in favor of free silver coinage when
1t shall be undertaken in concert with
other nations. When Governor Hill ran
for governor against Davenport in 1885
the platform contained a silver resolution
which concluded as follows:
We demand the repeal OF the act under which
the compulsory coinage OF silver goes on, but
we will welcome any practical measure OF agree
meut with other nations by which the ratio OF
value between gold an1 silver may be made less
fuctuatug.s But to this end the first step must
he the stoppage of any further compulsory coin
age of silver dollars.
The New York Democracy will doubt
less reiterate these views of Governor Hill
and denounce the Republican silver policy
and demand the repeal of the act of 1890.
1t is a noteworthy fact that Flower, in the
convention of 1882 that nominated Grover
Cleveland for governor, had 123 votes on
the second ballot. when Cleveland had but
seventy-one. The Democratic nomina.
tions yesterday prove that Governor Hill
and Tammany still completely control the
party machine in New York state, and
that Cleveland cannot secure the New
York delegation in 1892 unless he is sup
ported by Tammany and Governor Hill.
