READY To FIGHT.
Strikers So Wrought Up That
BIoodshed is Feared.

SPRING VALLEY, Ills, April e7.-In-
tense excitement prevails here over the
coal miners strike. and strong fears are
expressed that conflict between the
strikers and the men who refuse to leave

shed.

uca, where the miners refuse to quit their
work. A committee went from La Sallc
70 persuade them to join the strikers, but
It returned with = report that the men In
the mines there absolutely refused to lay
down their tools or to help the strikers in
any way.
A meeting OF the strikers was immedi-
ately held, at which the report was pre-
sented, and 1t was determined that from
1000 to 5000 men should organize and
march In body to Toluca and compel
the men at work TO desist
The mine owners have provided them
selves with arms and ammunition In
abundance, and IL is feared there will be
bloodshed and death. Feeling is running
very high here against the men who have
refused to quit work, and should they
fall into the hands of the strikers little
mercy would be shown them.

TIE SOLID soUTH

Arkansas has again gone Democratic.
As one after another Of the southern
states hold elections, the Populists see
their hopes in that direction fade away.
The Republicans tried many years 70
break the solid south without SUCCESS.
They tried il recently in Alabama By
uniting with the Populists, but with the
same result Past experience and pres
emit indications justify the prediction
that the solid south will never be broken
Is long as the Republican party is in ex-
istence. The ruling classes have but to
haunt the bugabO0 Of negro supremacy
in the faces of the people, and they for
get principle, violated party pledges and
every other wrong aud outrage, and vote
the Democratic ticket
Lately the oligarchy which controls
the politics Of the southern states has
become a little doubtful of the continued
success OF this method, and they have
been changing the registration and
election laws
In Mississippi they have a literary
qualification which requires that the
voter in order to be registered must be
able to understand a clause Of the con-
stitution when read to him, AMI the reg
istration officer is tim sole judge of this
qualification. This enables the party in
power, which is Of course the Demo
cratic party, to shut out enough object
ionable voters to insure the result in
their favor. Arkansas has also passed q
new registration law and the result was
seen in last Mondays election.
No good can ever come out Of the
Democratic party. This has been demon
strated by the present administration.
The only hope for the country lies north
of Mason and Dixon's line. The Repub-
licans and Populists should get to-
gether. They do not agree. but they are
at least both progressive, and they try to
be honest in their election methods
