the strike, so far as the switchmen on
the various lines here are concerned
is virtually ended, the railroads having
resumed freight traffic as of old, the
strikers have not yet bowed to the
inevitable but they or their friends are
indulging in covert lawlessness. The
wives and families of the men who
have taken the places are insuted in
their homes and are threatened with vi.

There was shooting all along the
front last night from the Ohio street

Secretary DebS, of the brotherhood of

OF the rumors of strikes of fremen be-

legally authorized and that is by Il
two-thirds vote of the members of the
whole system upon which the strike is
to be inaugurated, and then only bv
consent of the full protective board
composed of one representative
of each lodge and the grand
master, This is the only way a
strike can be legally authorized
and the only way strike can be
declared off. The grand master has
no more authority to declare a strike
than you have to declare war against

the men were marched. The stars
and stripes at Fort Anderson were in
full view and tbs men were feeling re-
iieved at the near approach of the
tortl1c@tions and were joking with
each other when bullets began whiz-
zing about their ears.
HedgerwoOd's men had passed the
ambuscade before firing commenced
and they received a volley of bullets
IN the back Carly, Walthall, Givens
and Heiskel were all in this party.
The other companies faced about at
once and opened fire on the ambuscade.
AS the firing became general, men
seemed to rise up from behind every
stump and stone in sight. They were
oil well armed and greatly outnum-
oered the military. Seeing that the
odds were against them they were
ordered to retreat and the long march
over the mountains to Offutts was
commenced again.
The dead and wounded of both sides
were left on the field of battle. The
miners, after capturing four of Wool
ford's men, started on the retreat
themselves, seeing that Carpenter was
going rapidly in the opposite direc-
ton. The four soldiers were released
and allowed to return to their regi-
ment.
The regiment reached Offutts on re-
treat about 10 o'clock, thoroughly ex-
hauated. They had eaten nothing
since noon Thursday and were hungry
as wolves. They notified General |
Carnes that they were at his service if
needed, and many plucky young

NOT FOR FREE s1LvEn.

United States Senator Palmer, OF ILL
nois, voted against free silver in the Sem
ate and the Democrats of Illinois are evil
IDENTIFY not for free silver; the resolution
on this subject is as follows: 1--WE reiter-
ate our allegiance to the history of the
Democratic party in favor of honest
money, of gold and silver coinage, as pro-
vided by the constitution of the United
States, and of currency convertible into
such coinage without loss to the holder,
and recommend the invitation by our gov
eminent to the commercial powers of the
world for an international conference to
fix the ratio between the values of gold and
silver, so that parity may be maintained
between the two metals and all mints
thrown open to free coinage"
These are said to be the views of Con-
gresham Springer and of ex-Congressman
Morrison. The lunatic resolution of the
Oregon Democracy that ''all paper cur
rency issued by the government should be
redeemable in either gold or silver coin at
the option of the holder, and not at the
discretion of the secretary of the treasury"
finds no indorsers except among the advo-
Gates of free silver. No other state save
Oregon has yet produced Democracy
capable of nominating an anti-free silver
coinage delegation on free silver coinage
platform.
Poor Pennoyer ought at least to have
been one of the slternates to ride this
plank.

Grants death. Sherman always grew
warm over the distinguished dead, be-
cause their figures no longer doomed up
between him and the sunshine of public
fame Grant nobly praised Sherman at
ever opportunity. while Sherman only
spoke patronizingly of Grant until the
hero of Vicksburg lay in his coffin.
Grants fame steadily grows, like that of
Lincoln, while Sherman is more likely to
lose than gain in comparative historical
fame as the years roll on; he was not so
undetermined as Grant; he was more &C
complished and versatile man, but by no
means so great soldier. He was an able,
but very erratic man; his blunder in the
matter of Johnston's surrender was mex
cusable in sound soldier; it was the act
of an egotist, and it measures Sherman's
mental limitations; he lacked Grants
strength.

SEATTLE. SATURDAY. APRIL 30.


Our excitable friend, the Telegraph, is
still paving the air over the alleged fail
ure of Republican legislature to pass
law governing the appointment of presi-
Dental electors for the state of Washing
ton. The telegraph knows, or should
know, that the law in question was duly
passed and is now in force. 1t was be-
trayed by ignorance into the assertion
that the law was not passed, and now I'M
dertakes to escape from its absurd posi-
ton by Teiterating the misstatement in
the hope that its readers will not learn
how egregiously it has blundered.
This is an old trick of the 7elegYaph's. A
short time after the passage of the legisla-
tive apportionment act of 1890, that jour
nal published as portion of the act a
paragraph in which the wording was mate
rally changed. Arguing from its own
misquotation, the Telegraph asserted that
large number of the people of Seattle
were DISTINGUISHED by the act. 1t was
only a few days until the trick was
exposed and the true wording of the
law was known, but the 7eie-
grdph has never admitted its error.
Then as now betrayed by ignorance into
an absurd and untenable position, it had
neither the fairness nor the good sense to
tell its readers that it had been in the
wrong.
II some charitable friend of the Telegraph
will present it with copy of the Session
Laws of 1891 it is just possible that it may
acquire some information, and thus avoid
making an ass of itself as frequently as it
has done of late

YOUNG REPUBLICANS.

The meeting of young Republicans to be
held this evening for the purpose OF organ
izing for the approaching presidential
campaign should be largely attended.
The Republican party will look to its
young voters for earnest and enthusiastic
work during the coming summer and
autumn. and the meeting tonight will
be the first move in the campaign.
The election. which is now but six
months distant, will be of the utmost
importance to the state of Washing
ton. The Democrats. standing upon
a platform which demands absolute
free trade in almost every important pro-
duet of this state, hope to secure control
OF the state government, to elect two con-
gressmen aud a legislature which will
choose n Democratic United States sena-
tor, and to deliver the electoral votes of
Washington to the Democratic candidate
for president. In short, they hope to link
the political fortunes of Washington with
those of the solid South and to commit its
people to their doctrine of free trade and
low wages for American workingmen.
To defeat this plan the Republican party
must have the earnest support OF the
young men of the state, and il is none too
early for the youngsters to begin. There
should be large attendance tonight, and
q club should be organized which will
keep things booming from now until the
votes are counted in November, and
which will have enough enthusiasm left
to take part in the jollifcauon on the
night after the election.

THE RAID ON THE OFFICES.

The real nature of the recent Demo
cratic reform" campaign is now appar-
ent. Ii was mere raid on the offices,
and the raiders are still raiding. Charter
provisions, legal rights, all things that
stand between Democratic aspirants and
the immediate possession of the offices,
are TO be swept away and places are to be
found for the party workers at any cost.
Mayor Ronald has now assailed the
board of public works. He has summoned
the Republican members. Major Rinehart
and G. II. Hebron. TO appear before him
and show cause why they should not be
removed from Office. The charges which
he prefers are SO trivial that even the
learned mayor must have smiled when he
formulated them.
The principal charges against Mr.. He'll
bron. against whom the main attack seems
TO be directed, are that he joined with his
colleagues on the board in reporting on
the condition of work which he had not
personally inspected, and that small
amount OF the insurance on city build
ings was placed through the agency
vestnent Company. in which Mr.. He'll
bron Is nominally a stakeholder This
the mayor ponderously calls "malfeasanee.
misfeasance and nonfeasanes in office"
and very good words these are and much
Mr.. Ronald Is to be congratulated at
having thought of them at this opportune
time.
Major Rinehsrt Is charged with having
purchased city scrip. The criminaiity of
this. however, is not apparent, and so the
further charge is advanced that a very
small part of the insurance on the city
buildings is placed with home company
in which Rinehsrt happens TO be q stock
holder in very small amount
No charges are made against Jesse Coch-
ran. the Democratic member of the board,
for il must be distinctly understood that
only Republicans lack virtue in the eyes
Of Mayor Ronald and that the acts of
Democrats are not to be scrutinixed. II is
cafe 10 say that the mayor has confined
his Investigations entirely 10 the Repub-
lican twothirds of the board and has paid
no attention Ia the Democratic one-third.
VI course. nobody viii DO deceived By
The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1892-04-30

these charges. Nobody will imagine that
the gentlemen accused have been either
dishonest or negIectfui of their duties.
Mayor Ronald has for weeks been
endeayoring TO coax or wheedie
one or both OF them into resigning
in order thar he might ind places for his
henchmen. As neither Of them seemed
inclined to resign he trumped up the
charges in order that he might remove
them in his assumed capacity as successor
of the city charter.
Mayor Ronald, who so sweetly an
nounced on taking office that he was the
mayor of no party, but of the whole peo-
pie. has prostitutei his Office to parti-
san purposes rs completely as
Buckley himself would do if placed
in similar position. OF course.
this is not surprising, for it is against the
nature of Democrat to see Republican
In Office without endeavoring to get him
out, but Mayor Ronald should abandon
either his high pretense or his low
practice.

According to the Boston Adrertiser Harvard
college is undertaking the task Of getting a
complete collection Of flowers in glass models.
The secret of making these models is known
only to swo brothers named Blaschka, in Dres-
den, and they are under contract to work only
for Harvard during the next nine years. The
younger brother is now in Jamaica studying
the plants of the island, and in a few weeks he
will come to Cambridge a the guest OF Profess
sor Goodale. Afterwards he will travel West,
making . collection of the typical American
flowers, and will then return to Germany to
begin the work OF reproducing them in glass.
