Well, we are whipped, but not dismayed.
Over.confdence took conspicuous part in
it,
The "know.all's" missed it badly this

And ''the next day it showed" and it did
snow-muchly.
There are more liars in town than any
town of its size in the United States. Yes.
terday's election proves that.
The Citizens borough ticket was a most
excellent one and could hardly have been
improved npon Mr.. Watson, the candidate
for Chief Burgess, has nothing to reject
since he did not seek the nomination and
was too modest to ask any one to support
him. His defeat, by majority so small as
20, when there is a Democratic majority in
town of over 300, is most gratifying.

ODE


People go to the theatre now days to be
amused and pleased and expect to be kept in
good humor. There has never been play
written that possesses all the elements of
success as much as does Agnes Herndon's
great play, LA Belle Marie" or "A
Woman's Revenge" It is brim.full of good
things, every other line is a laugh, and the
dialogue is bright and sparkling, while the
climaxes are telling and unusually strong
There is not a dull moment from the opening
to the closing line, and on your way home
from the theatre you can't tell your neigh
bors fast or emphatic enough how Miss
Herndon and La Belle Marie" has pleased
you. Take your wife Thursday evening, and
even coax your mother.in law to have
pleasant evening with you. If you haven't
a wife, bring your sister, or if you haven't
one, bring some other fellows sister, and see
what will be really the best and most enjoys-
BILE entertainment of the season. Don't
forget the date, Thursday evening, March I'd,
at Fergusons theatre.

The battle in the Second ward was des
peraton itself 1t began as soon as the polls
were opened and early in the day it became
the storm centre of the fight The entire
forces of the anti Finuey gang were sum
moned from all parts of the town and their
efforts united to defeat Finney. Everything
else was neglected, practically abandoned,
and the result is seen in the returns The
entire Citizens borough ticket is defeated,
and in spite of the assistance rendered by
the German voters the Democrats sweep the
decks in the Fourth aud Fifth wards.
Finney's triumph, in the face of the
cajolery corruption and intimidation used to
defeat him, is something of which he has
reason to be proud The influences brought
to bear against him were not confined to the
town alone, but were summoned from the
adjoining townships and boroughs, where he
has the honor of having political enemies
And the methods which they resorted to
| were as utSpCIdlt rs lut men LlldL lndue use

resorted to, and where neither of these was
effective intimidation was tried, and not
always without success.
The lesson which Mr. Finney's election
teaches ought to have salutary effect, and
will if the gentlemen who presume to possess
all the political wisdom of the age are not
beyond learning a lesson. 1t should teach
them that even in politics it pays to be
trlthful, and that treachery inevitably brings
its own reward
Mr.. Finney should, and doubtless does, feel
grateful to the Democrats who supported
him. They stood nobly by him. However
t ey know him, and know they have nothing
to- lose through his election. They know he
is Republican, but they know also that in
municipal government he is not an advocate
of partisan politics. With Finney in Council
there will be no more Star Chamber pro
ceedings and no exclusion of the press.

the Methods Of the Goal BarOns.
Special Correspondence.
PITTS BURG, KAN, July 31.-Up to this
time the striking miners, with whom l
have mingled largely, are to man in
tent in their purpose to refrain not only
from any manner Of encroachment upon
the property Of mine owners, but also to
abstain from harsh or even lltempered
talk. Their cRlmnees, and even cheer
full demeapor, strike me "a most re-
msrksble. I can only account for their
serenity on the theory that their knowl-
edge in the justice Of their case leads
them to believe that they will surely
win. To me their hopefulness seems
pathetic In the extreme. Encompasssd
as they are by network Of power I
feel as if they are hopeless prisoners,
with every avenue Of relief shut of ex-
cept the one blessed fact Of the aid and
sympathy of the farmers Of Kansas.
They have also the sympathy Of nearly
the entire locality.
Whether purposely or not, every &C
tion Of the operators is Of q nature to
provoke resentment and goad the strik-
ers to some act Of indiscretion. The
psradipg Of armed men. and the serving
OF writs Of ejectment from the company
houses are done in way to irritate and
intimidate. AS one instance: The over
seer Of the stockade at the KBnsas and
Texas coal shaft, who is a desperate
that has killed two men and has been for
q long time especially obnoxious to the
miners, boRsted that he would snake
widows plenty before the trouble was
over" AS Q consequence some OF the
women in the vicinity are in state of
nervous terror.
The guards at the stockRde are espec-
islly insolent, boastlng Of being "crRck
shots" and warning the strikers to keep
their distance or be shot on sight.
The sheriff's notice to @ number of
miners to appear at court and answer
the charge of trespass was a superAuous
ndignitY, inasmuch as it was served
upon number Of men who had not been
upon the company's grounds.
A miner and his wife returning from
social visit to sneighbor about II o'clock
Vt night was ordered by an armed patrol
70 halt and give an account of himself.
The woman was 30 frightened that she

highly incensed that he must be "held

tatlons Of the conduct, the temper and
the demands Of the miners.
In psrentheeis let me say that the
gratitude Of the miners and all lovers of
truth and far play are due to the Kan
SAT City Star for the character Of their
reports. AS nearly as is perhaps posi-
bic they have been accurate, excepting
an over color Of the Weir City trouble.
Other papers have given distorted and
inAammstory accounts, especially IN the
case of the speech OF President Walters,
which was illumined by red light head
lines and editorial comment, designed to
place Mr.. Walters in the category with
the Chicago anarchists.
The miners are much incensed by such
vicious Misrepresentation of Mr.. Wal
ters, knowing as they do that his con-
slant counsel to them 10 to refrain from
resort to force or any illegal or turbu-
liant action. Should conflict occur it
will DO far more chRrgeRble to scare
headlines and persistent irritation and
misrepresentation on the part Of the
mine owners and newspapers than upon
the men who are so hsroically restrain
ing themselves while manfully striving
to gain and to hold measurably Just
rOcompense for their hard toll.
Should the trsgt dy Of bloodshed be
enacted the newspapers may find them
selves in "the position Of the Chicago
anarchists who created the sentiment
which led to the killing"
The individual mine owners, that is
such as are not in the combine COM
posed Of the four large companies who
control everything connected with the
trade, are in sympathy with the miners,
and would gladly employ them at the
prices they ask, which they declare the
trade amply iusti6es. But these small
operators are powerless in the hands of
the combine which would crush them
out and ruin them by determinations of
various kinds, moreover they are bound
by contracts, and are at the mercy Of the
railroads, which are part Of the combi-
nation to regulate the output, and con-
troll the market.
Predetermined, as l was and am, to
deal justly with both sides of the situa-
tion, have searched in vain for the
slightest measure Of justice or righteous
ness on the side Of the coal companies in
their method Of dealing with the miners.
There is on their side the "right Of
might" and that alone.
Like all other events in history, the
causes Of the strike were at work long
before the event eliminated. Back of
the apparent and immediate causes,
there were the reasons which led up to
and explain and justify the demands of
the strikers.

Crowds of Hungry Miners and Other La
bOrers Seeking Respite From Starvation
DENVER, Colo, July 28.-Nhe coro-
ner's jury Investigating the death OF Dan
Arsta, the italian murderer, who was
lynched Wednesday night, returned q
verdict that "the deceased came to his
death by being hanged by parties un-
known TO the jury" The Witnesses ex-
smined were losthe to testify and were
unable to identify any of the leaders OF
the mob. Besides Col J. F. Brennan,
who was arrested last night as one OF the
leaders, Broncho Jim Willis, negro, was
placed in jail to-day on the same charge
Both men assert their innocence. Willis
is thought to have been the first man to
enter the jail when the door was broken
down.
Camp Relief, at River Front park, is
in perfect working order to-day, and over
1000 Of the unemployed were fed during
the day. Tents were erected capable Of
shetering 800 or more persons, and they
are being used to lodge part OF the in
digent. During the day about 600 men
were taken out Of the city by the differ
ent trains At one time the scene at the
Union Pacific yard in East Denver and
in the vicinity Of Fortieth street was
quite exciting. Here was gathered an
immense crowd waiting for the outgoing
trains, and when any Une OF them came
along, q scramble would be made to pet
aboard. The train officials, knowing how
impossible it would be to keep them of,
gracefully submitted, and in this way
about 600 persons left town. Before
leaving, the crowd entered many OF the
neighboring bakeries and stores and
asked for food. No threats were made,
but they got nearly all they wanted.
Passing milk wagons also contributed to
the needy, and no serious trouble Cd
sued. Tonight everything is quiet,
although meeting of the unemployed
is looked for at 8 o'clock.
July 29.-The city has been quiet all
day, and the indications are that the
feared outbreak among the unemployed
will not occur. No signs Of agitation
have broken out to-day, although Super
intendent Devel, Of the Union Pacific
railroad, has petitioned the city, county
and state officials to afford his road pro-
lection against the crowds deSirous OF
going east, who generally take charge OF
any freight train sent out. The COM
pany is willing to carry a moderate
amount Of persons, but objects to haul
ing trainloads Of them. No action has
been taken by the authorities.
The usual number, about 1000 per-
sons, were fed to-day ct Camp Relief.
Somewhere in the neighborhood OF 500
unemployed left on the different roads
to-day. 1t is reported that several hun
dred unemployed are on their way from !
