The Mistake of the Strikers.

Are we any nearer a reconciliation
between capital and labor than We
were a decade ago? So far from it.
There is apparently greater antago-
nism. Why is it so? Certainly men
are improving in intelligence. Isit be-
cause the problem is unsolvable? !?
This / do not believe. There are
several reasons why the progress has
been slow. The first and greatest is
the action of the workmen themselves
in resorting to violence and annoy
ance in order to gain their ends. By
workmen mean all those who con-
tribute to material products by the
labor OF their hands alone, whether
they be called laborers, wage-earners
or operators. These form large
class in themselves, though they are a
minority, and small minority, of the
whole population. Their great mis-
take has been, as / have said, in re-
sorting to violence. Rare must be the
occasions in any civilized country
when violent methods can serve a
useful purpose in the redress OF
wrongs. But here, where manhood
suffrage prevails, everything can be
obtained by law, so far as it is within
the domain OF law. So large a body
of voters as the wage-earners will be
sure to obtain by the suffrage all that
suffrage can force from the govern
ment of the country. Violence is
therefore unnecessary. 1t is more
over impolitic, because, instead OF
compelling the majority to accede to
their claims, it aleniates this major.

INGERsoLL ON voLTAIRE.
The Free Thinkers Tribute to His Great
French Master.
New York Press

New hork Press
An audience that packed the Broad
way Theater to the doors greeted Col
onel Robert G. Ingersoll when he
stepped before the footlights with the
manuscript OF his new lecture "Vol-
taire" in his hand.
The lecture, delivered in his most
pungent style, was dealt, not only with
the life of the great free thinker, but
times in which he lived.
In delineating and defending the
character ofVoltaire, Colonel Ingersoll
found a congenial subject. His ar
raignment OF the Roman Catholic
church was bitter. He characterized
the ecclesiastical enemies of Voltaire
as "tarantulas and scorpions"
"Sleeping and waking Voltaire hated
the church." declared the speaker,
"but he never said a word against
justice, charity, liberty and kindness.
Had he burned few heretics with
slow fire, crossed himself and mumbled
Latin prayers he might have been in
heaven at this moment, and would
have been known as st. Voltaire."
"In the presence of absurdity he
laughed, and it was called irreverence.
He was irreverent because he smiled
at the theology OF Moses, the astrol-
ogy OF Joshua and the biography of
Jonah. How can you reason with a
man who eats a sacred wafer and be-
lieves he has swallowed the Trinity"
"Voltaire was called mocker.
What did he mock? The titled fools
OF his day. Kings who claimed to be
ordained by God, the corruption OF
courts, the meanness OF tyranny, the
brutality of judges, the arrogance OF
cruelty, the unspeakable ignorance
and vice of his day and generation
these he Knocked.
"Voltaire was humane and believed
in helping his fellow men, and yet for
$50 years those who love their ene-
mics have exhausted the vocabulary
of hate and the ingenuity of malice to
save their stupid creed from the doc
trine OF Noltaire.
Even Carlyle, that old Scotch ter
rier, admitted that Noltare gave the
deathblow to modern superstition.
Scattered through his discourse were
such epigrams as these:
1t is far better to 5e n mortal free
man and go down to a nameless grave
to sleep forever than to be an immor-
tai slave"
"The world isn't worth a martyr,
and never was. | am sorry there ever
was a martyr"
Suppose you allowed priests to
govern New York. Would you then
rather live here or in well regulated
penitentiary?"
"He was never troubled about the
salvation of his soul. Nobody ever is
who thinks much of his soul
1.-THE moment of death is less inn
portant than any other moment OF
life"
"Even if God is the keeper of an
eternal penitentiary he should not inn
prison him who taught the lesson OF
human liberty"

THE SILVER STATUE.
How Miss Rehan Will Look When Repre-
senting Montana Justice"


The work was exhibited in Mr..
Parks studio in the rear of his resi-
dence. 1t is a typical representation
OF Justice, except that the eyes, like
those OF the average Montana girl, are
wide open. From the top of her
queenly head to the sole of her foot is
eight feet.
Miss Rehan stands upon a globe
upon which will be engraved "Mon-
tana" when the work is finished.
Bearing the globe upon his shoulders
is a Montana eagle with extended
wings and tired look. The model
represents Miss Rehan in a raiment
fashioned with a view to rigid econo-
my, and would indicate that the great
actress was making her escape from
hotel FIRE. The one garment that she
wears has slipped down from the left
shoulder, and as she carries a sword
in her right hand and a pair of scales
in her left, OF course it has to stay
there. 1t is also so arranged about
the left lower limb as to give the most
casual observer fairly accurate idea
of how the charming leading lady of
Mr.. Daly's company is constructed.
1t is proposed to have the base of
the statue made of Montana mineral
bearing rock, of the kind known as
ribbon rock, of which gold-bearing
quartz and silver appear on the sur
face. Over this and forming a resting
place for the eagle, with his successive
burdens OF the earth and Miss Rehan,
will be plinth of gold, the value of
which is estimated at S250,00O. The
silver to be used in the statue will be
worth S65,O0O. Some time next Feb
ruary at the works of the American
Bronze company near Grand Crossing,
an attempt will be made to cast the
statue. People of two continents
have gladly poured silver in at the
box Office window for several years to
see Miss Rehan play, and with equal
enthusiasm Colonel f. j. V. Skiff, chief
of the departments of mines and min
ing, has accepted an invitation TO be
present at the time OF casting and to
pour the silver in it's melted form
around the curves of the fair Rosa
! lind.
Some doubt has been expressed as
TO the success of the undertaking and
many workers in bronze have declared
that it is not practical to make so
large statue out OF silver, but the
superintendent ofthe American Bronze
company is SO confident thatit can be
| done that the concern has bonded it
self In large sum to satisfactorily fill
their contract. When finished the
statue will be placed in the most i'm
portant position offered by the Mon
tana building, and will not, as has
been stated, be placed on top of the
building, where Miss Rehan might look
very uncomfortablein in stormy weather
dressed in her lonely looking garment
] and fresh air. While it is on exhibit
ton there will constantly be on duty
a guard OF four Montana men armed
with Winchester rifles. This precau-
tion is thought necessary to prevent
impecunious bad men with well de-
fined thirst and no eye for art from
whiting off some of Miss Rehan's
toes to carry away with them to the
beer saloons of the neighborhood,
where they would no doubt be accept
ed as legal tender.

KENTUCKY's WAY.
A Number of the Best-Known Men in Ma
goffens County Engage in Fight.

LOUISVILLE, Jan 3.-The bloodiest
fight in Magoffins county's history
took place today about one mile from
Saylorsville. There were eight or ten
OF the county's best known citizens en-
gagged on either side, armed with re-
peating rifles and navy pistols, and
the trouble, which had it's inception
in trivial manner the day before, re-
suited in pitched battle. John Davis
was killed by q pistol shot said to
have been fired after he was disabled
and disarmed. w. E. Deskings, con-
stable, was fatally wounded by a shot
in the right hip, the ball ranging up
ward through the bowels. Monte
vile Desmings, justice OF the peace,
has not been seen since the fight, but
he left bloody trail on the snow
through woodland near the scene OF
the tragedy, and is supposed to be
fatally wounded. Thegun with which
he was known to have been armed,
was found in the woods today. Shep-
perd Cole, coroner OF the county, re-
ceived some fearful blows with club
and may die. Brice Patrick was shot
T.Patrick, brother of ex-sheriff j. c.
Patrick, received a rifle ball along the
right side of his head and was at first
supposed to be dead, but rallied and

is no conclusion ofthe brain. Reports
as to who areimmediately responsible
for the terrible affair are conflicting
and it is not even known who fired the
fatal shots.
Dug and Samuel Risner were brought
here this morning by Coroner Cole and
strong guards, charged under a war
rant issued by Monteville Deskins,
with an assault upon w. ID. Deskins.
| The coroner committed the dangerous
improperly of making a guard of the
persons who were identified with the
prosecution and TOR whose protection
a warrant was issued. This was re-
sented by the friends of the prisoners
and both sides came to town heavily
armed. The prisoners were returned
before Police Judge George III. Gardi-
ner, and the commonwealth not being
ready for trial they were released
under bond. Some loud talking on
the part of one of the Risners very
nearly precipitated fight in town
about two O'Clock, but prompt inter
ference of the authorities prevented q
disturbance. A fight took place an
hour later. No arrests nave been
made and it is feared another fight is
imminent.

The popular vote shows that Mr..
Cleveland had majority OF $50, 900
against him, and that the increase OF
the Democratic vote from 1883 to
1892 was only 1.3 per cent, when the
average increase of the Democratic
vote for each four years between 1872
and 1888 was 1915 per cent. 1t was
not such a free-trade landslide after
all.

No Foreigners In America.

For over a century no foreign organized
forces for war have marched in New York
streets, until the uniformed crews of all
nations paraded on the 2Sth of April
through the streets of the metroDolis.
cheered at every step on their way by ad-
mring thousands. 1t was a spectacle to
bring tears to the eyes, and make one con-
fident of the coming of the golden age of
fraternity. But the most striking thing
about this parade, as also it was in the
mustered crews on shipboard the preced
ing day, was that the crews to us did not
look like foreigners. The simple reason
of this was that there was no nationality
on display of which we have not abundant
types in this country with which we are
perfectly familiar. The tars who marched, ,
whatever their features or complexion,
whatever flag they carried, could find their
own kind among the admring throng that
cheered them. 1t could not have seemed
to them like march in a foreign country:
rather as if they were coming home. They
saluted, to be sure, the American flag,
they were cheered by the American people,
yet under that flag are all the nations of
the earth in the great republic. No new
people were created for our experiment;
only new spirit, we hope, came into the
world, which is strong enough to transform
all who come under its influence. Yes, it
was splendid parade, and it was peculiar
ly American, because it included the
world. To us, we may say, nothing is
foreign. Dudley Warner, in july

Arctmus, the King among the Stars.
Take the star Arcturus. DR.. Elkin has
made measurement of its distance from
the earth, and if he has made no mistake
il is no less than IL 100000 times as far
away as the sun is. You know that the
light of a star or of the sun varies in
versely as the square of the distance. If
the sun were twice as far away as it now
is we should get one-quarter as much light
from it. Careful comparisons have shown
that Arcturus actually sends to the earth
about one twenty billionth as much light
as the sun itself, but if the sun were re-
moved 100000 times as far as it now is, it
would shine as a star no brighter than Arc
turus. Yet Arctuus is II, 800 900 times
as far away as the sun. Dividing that by
10000 we get the number 81, which may
be taken as measure of the diameter of
Arcturus, as compared with the diameter
of the sun. The suns diameter is &c.,
900 miles, and, therefore, the diameter of
Arcturus must be about 100000 miles
and its circumference 24,000,00O miles .
In bulk it is SOL, 600 times as great as the
sun.
Arcturus having 50 times the diameter
of the sun, must shine. if every point on
it is as bright as a corresponding point on
the sun, 6724 times as brilliantly as the
sun does, because the surfaces of spheres
vary as the squares of their diameter.
Such globe as near TO us as our sun is
would fill half the sky. but we could never
exist in such proximity TO so tremendous a
sun as that. If the earth could be moved
through space toward Arcturus, or if it
could fall to ArcturuS as ii would proba-
bly, do but for the protecting arm that is
extended by our own sun at close quarters
the spectacle that would be presented to
its inhabitants as they approached that
great star would be of indescribable mag
nificence.
When We had arrived within something
less than 5000, 900, 600 miles of Arcturus
its light and heat would be equal to that
which we get from our sun at distance of
only $4,000, 900 miles When we get as
close to it as the distance of Neptune from
the sun the gush of its heat would begin
to be unbearahle; at the distance of
Jupiter from the sun il would smte the
earth with the resistess energy of its rad-
alton. The forests would burn, the oceans
would rise from their beds in vapor, the
very ground would smoke, and before we
could approach as close as the earth is to
! the sun the whole globe would have been
melted, if not dissipated in vapor
Arcturus is truly king among stars and
our sun, great and brilliant as it is, if drop
ped into the blazing philosophers of Arc
turus would be instantly swallowed up and
the only visible evidence of its fate would
be a sudden flash, and then, perhaps, a
| quickly vanishing blot on the brilliant sur
face of the great star where the downrush
of the doomed sun had swept in breath
of cooler vapor from above.
