APRoPHECY FULFILLED

Thomas H. Benton, the great Mis-
souri, Democrat, foretold the rule Of
Cleveland fifty-nins years ago. as will
appear by the following extract taken
from "Crockett's Life Of Martin Van
Buren," published as early as 1885,
which says:
"Colonel Benton told the President
John Quincy Adsms) that the power
of patronage. used Tor personal and
not party ends. would at some future
time enable President Of this free
republic To make himself worse
despot than the Gear OF Russia. Col
onel Benton wished To reduce if he
could this dangerous influence over
the liberties OF the people. The
danger was all the greater in that
the people mig ht not know their
peril until it was TO late to avert it.
"The King of England" Colonel Ben
ton declared, "is the fountain OF
honor, but a President Of the United
Suites is merely & source Of patronage
He presides over the whole system OF
Federal appointments, jobs aud con-
tracts. He has power over the
support OF the individuals who adj.
minister the system. He chooses
from the circle of his friends and
supporters and may dismiss them,
and upon all the principles Of human
action will dismiss them as often as
they dissapoiut his expectations. We
must look forward to the time when
the public revenues will he doubled,
when the civil and military officers Of
the Federal Government will he
quadrupled, when it's Influence over
individuals will be multiplied to an
indefinite extent, when the nomina-
tion OF the President can carry any
man through the Senate and his
Recommendation can carry any
measure through the two Houses Of
Congress, when the principle of pub
lie action will be reduced to this:
The President wants MY vote and I
want HIS patronage. I will vote as
he wishes and he will give me the
offices I wish for. What will this be
but the government of ONE man?"

Chicago, July 4-Taken in its en-
tirety, the day has been a. quiet one in
strike circles, barring an occasional
furry caused by the gathering of mobs
in the stock yards district which. how
ever, were held in check by police and
deputies, backed up by the near prox-
unity of detachment Of regulars
from Fort Sheridan, for whom the
strikers have a wholesome respect.
Trains are once more moving at Blue
Island, the turbulent element having
suddenly simmered down, when con-
fronted by pieces of ordnance and gilt
tering bayonets.
After the troops disembarled at the
stock yards, strikers vented their
spleen by ditching the two rear
coaches of the troop train and disabled
the engine by showing coupling pins
into the cross-head guides, being care
full howevr, to wait until the regulars
had got a. safe distance away. The

TWAS VERY TART.
Reply Sent BY United States Mar
shall to IL Governor.

Kansas City, July IA Chicago &
Alton train was detained by strikers at
Slater, Mo-, and held at that place.
General j. o. Shelby, United States
marshal at Kansas City, sent several
deputies to Slater to release the train
and allow it to proceed on the grounds
that it was carrying United States
mail, and as United States officer it
was his duty to the federal govern
ment to see that the mail was not in
terfered with
Governor Stone resented this as an in
reference with states rights, and as
such wrote to General Shelby, asking
him by what right a United States Of
ficer interfered in troubles of this kind
in the state, as he believed the state
perfectly capable of taking care of its
own domestic affairs, and where not
able to do SO, and finding it necessary
TO call for aid from the federal gov
eminent, would do so in approved con-
stitutional form.
General Shelby replied very tartly,
adding that he was acting under orders
from the Encouragement TO clear the
passage Of the United States mail, and
in pursuance of these orders was to
prevent such unlawful interference by
arrestirg on proper warrants all such
offenders and taking them before the
proper federal tribunal for examina-
ton. He further referred Governor
Stone to the encouragement for light
upon the subject of authority in the
aforementioned procedures.

RECEIVED A BODY BLOW.
Thirty-Eight Strikers and Sympa-
thizerS Arrested.

thiZerS Arrested.
Trinidad, Colo, July 4-Thirty-eight
men, half members of the American
Railway union and the remainder SYM
pathizers, were arrested here today and
taken to Denver.
Among them are President Melick,
ce-President Murth, Chairman Car
rig, Secretary Imhoff, of the union, and
D. E. Rollins, a Populist politician.
The men were arrested for disarming
the deputies last Sunday. In addition
to these, ten others were arrested who
ventured too near the railroad property.
The arrest is a severe blow to the
American Railway union.
The arrest of the thirty-eight men
was accomplished by the United States
troops surrounding the place where the
strikers had assembled, after which the
deputies passed within the lines and
did their work. Most of the men gave
themselves up.
The excitement is intense, but the
presence of troops will prevent any
riotous demonstration. The arrested
men were placed on train and started
for Denver under both military and
civil guard.
President Melick's last words to his
men were:
1.-THE fight is not lost. The railroads
carlot get men to man the trains.
Above all things do not disturb railroad
property, and keep away from the
wards -

SITUATION IN KANSAS CITY.
First Day For Week That Matters
Have Not Grown Worse.

Kansas City, July 4.-The situation
in Kansas City is little changed from
yesterday. This is the first day for a
week that matters have not grown
worse. The Laton trains from St. Louis
and Chicago were abandoned today on
orders from Superintendent Gray.
The Wabash has laid off clerks and
freight handlers Indefinitely. The
Santa F'e successfully moved three cars
of fruit and one car of eggs to the
east this morning.
General Manager ]. j. Frey, of the
Santa Fe, this evening advised Superin-
tendent RoTdback, that President Debs
OF the American Railway union, had
given to the press a statement that
the General Managers association in
Chicago had arranged with Mr.. Debs
and officers of the American Railway
union for a conference with view
to ending the present strike next Sat
urday.
Mr. Frey said in his telegram that
he desired the public to know that no
such conference had been arranged,
that the General Managers association
does not know Mr.. Debs, and that the
American Railway union is not treating
with the men; that the Santa Fe par
ticularly will arbitrate with no one,
but is willing TO fight the strike out
on the lires already laid down.
Today at Higbee, Mo, five United
States deputies, en- route 10 Kansas
City, on orders from United States Mar
shal Shelby to join him here, were
thrown from the Alton train, the con-
ductor refusing TO recognize their order
as sufficient transportation.

FOURTH AT ST. LOUIS.
Railroads Practically Took Holt
day Yesterday.


st. Louis, July 4.-The railroads
practically took a holiday today. No
attempt was made to move freight on
either side of the river, and with a
majority of the roads not much effort
was made to move passenger trains.
Tomorrow the inactivity will cease,
and the railway managers will take
decisive steps towards putting their
roads into active operation.
Then trouble is likely to break loose.
Up to this time, there has been no
act of violence, but this explanation
may be the activity of tie railway
managers. Now new men are being
hired. They represent every branch of
| the railroad service, and many of the
railroads claim they are competent
land thoroughly experienced. Tomor-
row several roads will endeavor to fill
the places of Tie strikers with these
men, and it is their intention to resume
sending out their freight trains. If
they meet with sobstructions they will
apply to the United States courts for
an injunction, and if a restraining
order from the court does not prevent
interference, they will call on the presi-
dent for federal troops.
! Dispatches were received at Wabash
headquarters that the telegraphers had
| joined the strikers. This move was
surprise to the officers.
! The return, yesterday, of the Iron
Mountain yard men accomplished moth
! ing. as that road is receiving no
| freight.
The strike has diverted business to
the steamboats,. and the river men ex-
pect that a good deal of freight will be
taken out by way of the river if the
| trouble lasts any.length of time.
| More local freight is being handled
by the boats than for several years.
The scarcity of coal is, however, being
felt, as the supply along the river has
almost been exhausted. The st. Louis
breweries will lose considerable in con-
sequence of the strike.
Unless the Blockade is broken within
a short time, the worst possible fea
lures of a strike like this will make
! itself apparent in actual suffering by
the people, who are already seriously
affected.
Beef-killing and importing establish
ments are shutting down; butter,
cheese, eggs and lemons are also be-
coming scarce. Vegetables, on the con-
trary, are increasing in supply, as this
| is a distributing point for hundreds Of
nearby truck gardeners.
