The Big Coke strike.

UNIoNTowN Pa. April 3.-The storm
has broken and the scenes OF 1891 are
being repeated throughout the coke re-
gions. The big coke strike, with all Its
attendant rioting and destruction of
property, is now on in full force. The
call of the Scottdale convention was
obeyed by more than .half the. worksiin
the coke field, and it took fully 5000
men from their work. Ever since the
close of the mass meetings Sunday after
noon there has been more or less rioting
and destruction Of property, especially
in this end of the region, and several
calls have been made on the sheriff for
protection. The situation Is now one of
great peril throughout the coke section,
and more destructive outbreaks are ex-
pected at any time.
The rank of the strikers has been so
reinforced that this morning the lowest
estimates give them -, 900 men. From
the outset the strike has been turbulent,
with tendency to open defiance of law.
There was riOtlng IN several quarters
Sunday night. 1t has grown steadily
worse, and yesterday there were more Sc
riOus outbreaks in this end of the field.
The men of the Oliver works went out.
leaving l 800 tons of coke burning up
in the ovens. The company, to save the
property, attempted to put some men to
work drawing the coke, when the strik-
ers made a ferocious attack on them
with stones and clubs, driving them from
the grounds. In the melee several men
were badly hurt. The Oliver people
telegraphed the deputies, and the works
are now guarded. The coke will be
drawn under protection of the Sheriff.
The greatest outbreak was at the IA
nous Hill Farm mines near here.
About 400 foreigners from Morrell and
Wheeler, of the Cambria Iron company,
armed themselves with guns, revolvers
and clubs and started out to drive the
men from the neighboring plants. They
first visited the Humphrey works and
finding the men at work drove them
away under the muzzles of pistols. The
next engagement was at Hill Farm
After all the men had been driven
away the rioters began firing the shan
ties but desisted at the frantic entreaties
of the women and children. Superin-
tendent Long, of the Hill Farm bad
some of the Hungarians arrested for at
tempting to burn the property.

The dispensary law carried through
in South Carolina 10y visionary Popu-
list legislature at the prompting of the
present Populist governor Is about the
craziest piece of law making that has
yet been foisted upon the people of any
state in recent years. 1t has been made
even more obnoxious than ridiculous by
the high handed dictatOrial methods EN-
ployed by Governor Tillman to enforce
1t against strong and growing popular
feeling He has made repeated threats
from time to time of the extremes to
which he would go if necessary to carry
out his determination, and as now ap
pears he has not hesitated to execute
them.

SOUTH CAROLINA is in a state of Anar-
chy and martial law has been proclaimed
by the governor. On Friday night a
fight took place at Darlington, in that
state, in which five people were killed
and a number wounded. 1t is all the
result of the new dispensary liquor law
which places the sale of liquors in that
state in the hands of officials appointed
by the governor and authorizes the
searching of private suspected houses for
contraband liquor. Governor Tillman
ordered cut number of companies of
state troops to the support of the CON
stables and several companies threw
down their arms and refused to obey the
orders of their officers. At last accounts
quiet prevailed and it is believed that the
insurrection Is about over.

land are kept fully advised of the move
mentS of the strikers and do not believe
IT will be necessary to order out troops
to restore order. 1t appears from infor-
nation received that the deputy sheriffs
are well armed and will be able to repel
the strikers in their advance upon the
works. Under the present organization
of the National Guard there is no bcca-
sion to issue waiting orders. At head
quarters the greatest confidence is felt in
the ability to mass the guard at any Civ
en- place in the shortest possible time
The captain of one of the companies in
the coke regions wanted to know wheth-
er his guns could be loaned to the de2u-
ties, but was advised by the adjutant
general that they could not

a GOOD deal of sympathy, says the
Chicago Herald, is being wasted over the
farmer by people who don't know what
they are talking about, Ihe low price
of wheat and the decline in the value of
live stock are pointed out as reasons why
the farmer is crying himself to sleep
every night. As a matter of fact, the
farmer who has his farm paid for is the
most Independent man on earth-iude-
pendent of panics, of financial stringen-
cles' and political experiments. He
may not have great deal of ready mon-
ey, but he is as sure of a comfortable
living as any man can be in this uncer-
tain world. There may, it is true. be
failure of some crops, but all the crops
wont fail. His hogs may be decimated
by cholera, but his sheep and his cattle
are left. Times may be dull, but if the
worst comes to worst he can live and
live fairly well on the produce of his
own farm. Clothes he must have, but
fashions don't change rapidly in the
country, and a few bushels of potatoes or
few hogs will produce the money need
ed for absolutely essential clothing.
The farmer is all right He is not at
the mercy of the labor unions or capi-
! talists All the mills in the country
may shut down and he is still certain of
three meals a day and a bed at night.
As he is the handspring and foundation
of ali material prosperity, so is he indie
| pendent of all the minor disturbances
that trouble the people who are, after
| all, dependent on him for subsistence.
