him, and flat he throws himself on his face, and rolls to one side amid derisiye laughter from the strikers themselves. A little further on a knot of surly rioters are gathered on the track. No warning whistle sounds, and the changing bell is too far to the rear to attract their attention. "Out of the way, there '" is the blunt, roughly-spoken or der. No time this for standing on ceremony. Vengeful and scowl- ing the men spring aside, some stooping to pick up rocks, others reaching into their pockets for the ready pistol but rocks are dropped and pistols undrawn as the train whirls rap idly by, and wrath gives place to mysti6eation. Who-what are these strange, silent, stubbly bearded, sun tanned fellows in slouch hats, fan- nel shirts, and the worn old black belts over the shoulderi Even the engine has its guard, and half dozen of them, perched upon the tender, have levelled their carbines to flank and rear, ready to let drive into the crowd the instant a brick is heaved or trigger pulled.
 And so into the great stone station they roll, and here they find the platforms damned with citizens some drawn by curiosity, some &C., tive sympathizers in the strike, and many of them prominent leaders of the mob surging in the crowded thoroughfares without. The train has hardly come to a stand when from every direction the mass of outsiders is heaving up around it.
 "Now, Feeny, clear the platform to the left. Take the other side, Wing" says Drummond, quietly, to the officer at the front door of the next car.
 In the very fraction of a second the first sergeant and a dozen men have lesped from the deck and straight into the heart of the crowd they go. Back with yel Out O this I" are the stern, determined orders, emphasized by vigorous prods with the heavy carbine butts. Astonished at methods so prompt and decided, there is only such re- sistenee as the weight and bulk of those in rear can offer, and that is but momentary. The sight of those gleaming Gatling barrels, the stern, brief orders and the rapid, confident advance, combine to overcome all ideas of resistance. On both sides, at the head of train, the huge crowd, half laughing, half suffocating, is heaved back upon itself and sent like great human wave rolling up to the iron lattice at the office end. Meantime without an instant's de. lay the battalion springs out from the cars, forms ranks on the north platform, counts fours, and then, arms at right shoulder, away it goes with the swinging, steady tramp around the rear of it's train, across
 parallel rows of rails, and in

 cheers from the occupants of
 lines and high tiers of stores,

PUBLIC OPINION.

It is William l.. Wilson, chair man of the ways and means, that means tariff reform in earnest, and no postponement on account of the wailing of those who were defeated last tall.--Boston Herald, Ind.
 Gen. Warner says that a repeal of the sherman act would "put the country on a single geld standard and change all debts to gold debts. " Will the distinguished silver advo- cate tell us what standard we are under now, and whether our debts are not gold debtsf A repeal of the Sherman act would not change the standard in the least St. Louis Republic, Dem.
 It will have to be conceded by Mir. Hills meanest enemies that he early foresaw the disastrous results of the silver purchase law and lifted up his voice against it. The so- called Sherman law had not long been in operation until Mir. Hill in his Brooklyn speech inveighed against it and warned the country, that it ought to be repealed. New York Commercial Advertiser, Rep.
 The impatience of Republicans at the delay of the present congress in repeating the Sherman silver law would have been very pertinent idea in the Republican congressional caucus of 1890, that adopted the Sherman law as party measure, and commanded for it the vote of every Republican member of con. gress and the approval of the Re- publican president. That is where the mischief originated. It all com menced in a stroke of political strat- egy to make the silver states solid for the Republican candidate in l892.-Pittsburg Post, Dem.
 The attitude of Senator Hill on these measures, whether sincere or not, will undoubtedly strengthen him with the wing of his own party that does not worship at the shrine of Mir. Cleveland. Indeed, the speech from beginning to end bris- ties with sharp criticisms of the pres ident and his special advisers. Mir. Carlisle comes in for shot when referred 10 as "the mouth piece or subordinate of others. " The speech is mixture of common sense, political shrewdness, con tempt for the administration and long pent bile. Ip parts he is elo- quent, and it is by all odds the most interesting speech Mr. Hill has ever made. New York Press, Rep.

And for all answer, it being per haps too public spot for other de- monstration. Wing simply hugs himself.

srnoSa Drink A FAILURE.

Even with tho present large per capita
consumption OF intoxicants. about sixteen
gallons annually, the popular verdict against
strong drink is steadily forming and In due
time will be effectively proclaimed. The
Washington Evening News in recent
thoughtful article says
Tho sad truth must be coming home to
tho man who drinks that his place in the
world Is an uncertain and dlsagreeablO one.
Not many years ago moderate Indulgence
in the flowing bowl was not considered as
disqualification when man OF good abilities
applied for u situation, but times have
changed, and to-day the individual who goes
forth 10 seek n position with his breath Inn
pregnated with the essential oil OF barley Is
engaged in hopeless errand.
The business man must necessarily place
good deal OF reliance In his assistants, and
he can only do that when they are distin.
guished for sobrlety rather than IA natural
absorbents. No ambitious merchant likes 10
conduct an inebrate asylum In the guisc OF n
trade emporium. The newspaper publisher
desires TO maintain tho reputation and dig
nifty OF his journal, and hence will not have

TEMPERANCE SR,5s AND NOTES.

The devil knows too much TO waste Lis
time in trying to make drunkard out OF a
stingy man.
Consider the enormous amount of valuable
time wasted In and around saloons, fully one
half as much as is spent In useful effort.
You enn generally tell by mans tricks
which way he Is going. II they point to-
ward the saloon he is not on his way to
heaven.
Consider that nine-tenths OF all the money
spent for drink comes from the pockets OF
the laboring men, and that this Is a largo
part OF ail the money they earn.
M. Pasteur states that, when bitten by
mad dog, q man who habitually uses intox-
lcating spirits IL more difficult to cure than a
temperate man. Yes, and when bitten by any
other disease.
General Booth has $50 men, mostly broken
down drunkards ut one time, working on his
iarm few miles out OF London and they
are described as decent, industrious, useful
aud enthusiastic lot OF people now. -
