FRIDAY MORNING. MAR. 9, 1894.
EXPENSIVE VIRGINIA.

The most important speech delivered in
the legislature this session, and one that
will begin an agitation which will not end
until the wrong is righted, is that of Dele
CRATE Eugene Withers from Danville. On
the first reading, some of the statements
were so startling that it was hard TO credit
them. In response to a letter from the
VINDIcAToR Mr.. W ithers has kindly sent
us a revised copy OF the statistics used in
his speech.
It shows that Virginia as it is now ad-
ministered under the provisions OF the Tn
derwood constitution adopted quarter OF
a century ago-a constitution copied from
that of New Y ork and intended for State
with ten times the population of Virginia
is one of the most extravagant in the
South. The comparisons in the expenses
of government used by Mr.. Withers, are
drawn from n North Carolina, our next door
neighbcr, and from Georgia. That they
may be clearly understood we give this
table of population, area OF square miles
and assessed wealth Of the three States

sECTARIAN ASSAULT.
Sermon by a Minister of the Reformed
Church..

Sermon by Minister of the Reformed
Church.
New YORK, March 1S.-The sermon to-
night of Rev. Madison C. Peters, at the
Bloomingdale Reformed Church, was de-
voted to an attack on the Roman Catholic
Church, particularly its influence in the
government at Washington. The min
lister had letters stating that nuns are per-
mitted to go through all the departments
on begging missions, and even to stand
by when the clerks are receiving their
pay and solicit contributions, and that the
Catholic influence is potent in all the de-
partments in matters of appointment pro-
motion and dismissals. Numerous in
stances were cited in which Protestants
were Disseminated against, in favor Of
Catholics.
The speaker said: 1.-THE departments
are full of just such cases, and an investi-
CATION will not only substantiate my
words, but will bring to light many of
the ways that are dark and tricks that are
not in vain to which the Roman Church
has resorted to to find positions for true
Catholics. The Mormons and the Ro-
manists are the only religions that have
ever maintained bureaus at Washington
for lobbying i'll the interest of their
in Washington, and Will have still more
facts. So far | have dealt with generali-
ties; look out for specifications soon.''
THE CHURCH AND SCHOOLS.
SAN Francisco, March 1S.-Rev. John
@. a. Henry, prominent local Protes-
tant divine, to-day addressed a large
audience at Odd Fellows Hall, on 'The
Hands Of Rome on Our Public Schools
The stage was occupied by number of
officers and members of the American
Protective Association and several clergy
men. The meeting was the first OF a
series which Mr.. Henry has iuaugurated
for the purpose of arraigning the Roman
Catholic Church for its attitude toward
the public schools. Mr.. Henry read CO.
pious extracts from the sayings and
writings of Catholic Prelates, including
the Pope and Father McGlynn, which he
insisted in his argument tended to show
the hostile position of the Catholic Church
toward the schools.

EMPLOYERS, LIABILITY BILL.

Demonstration in London Protesting
Against the Lords Action.
LONDON, March 1S.-An impressive
demonstration to protest against the ac-
ton of the House of Lords in rejecting
the employers liability bill was held in
Hyde Park to-day. 1t is estimated that
5000 people were in attendance. There
were twelve platforms in the park, from
which the speakers addressed the assem-
bled throng.
Shortly before o'clock enormous pro-
cessions from all parts of the city began
to arrive. Among those who took part
in the procession were representatives
from every trade union in London.
The chief speakers were Messrs. Burns.
Woods, Arch and Cremer. all of whom
are labor members of the House of Com
mons.
Resolutions were read from all the
platforms calling upon the Government
TO again introduce the employers liabil-
ity bill Immediately upon the reassem-
bling of the House of Commons, and also
demanding that the Government take
steps to bring about the entire abolition
of the House of Lords.
At the sound Of bugl9 the resolutions
were adopted simultaneously at all the
platforms, the crowds signifying their ap-
proyal with mighty shout.
There was no trouble OF any kind re-
ported, and after the adoption of the reso-
lutions the crowds quietly dispersed.
The record-union., 1894-03-19

There was an incendiary fire in the
town last night, which was quickly put
out, and large charge of giant powder
was exploded on Battle Mountain, shak-
ing the shaft houses at the Independence
and Portland mines, but doing no great
damage.
At the conference between the military
officers and the committee of the Miners
Union tonight, the latter gave assurances
that no resistance would be offered to the
serving of warrants upon any OF the
miners. No member OF the union, they
asserted had anything to do with the ar
rest of the deputies at Altman Friday
night. If any mistake had been made it
was made by the authorities of Altman.
and the miners were in no way response
bic. The union requested Brigadier
General Tarsney TO withdraw the troops,
but he replied that he could not do so, as
the Sheriff insisted that they were needed.
In answer to a message from the Alt
man authorities as TO why he had sent the
troops, Governor Waite tonight replied:
Il sent the troops for the preservation of
the peace upon the repeated and urgent
request of the Sheriff. They will be used
only for that purpose. The troops were
not moved until after l was wired that
the Sheriff had been killed. The proper
authorities having made the demand,
was legally advised to act"
Five Deputy Sheriffs arrived in town
tonight from Victor with w. Russell.
President of the Victor Miners Union.
He was arrested on the charge of con-
tempt At Victor all the saloons were
closed about o'clock to-day, by order of
the Sheriff They will be kept closed
until the present crisis is past. 1t was
rumored that all the saloons in Cripple
Creek, Anaconda and Altman would be
closed at midnight.
1t is not yet known what caused the
explosion of giant powder near the Inde-
pendence mine last night. The union
miners believe it was done by some
enemy who wanted TO stir up sentiment
against them.
A petition to Governor Waite asking
him to withdraw the troops is receiving
many signatures.
ONLY TO PRESERVE PEACE.
DENVER, March 1S.-Governor Waite
issued an order tonight to Adjutant-
General Tarsney, in command of the
troops at Cripple Creek. that the soldiers
must not be used as a guard to enable the
mine owners TO resume work on the nine
hour basis, but only to preserve the peace
in the event of a conflict.
