advised to the contrary. Injunctions
Were served on some of the leaders OF

There is no probability of any further

<,,M Miners Strike.
CLEVELAND, April 21.-Speaking Of
the effects and prospects of the big
strike ordered, a prominent Massillon
operator says:
at will be the greatest coal miners
strike the world ever saw. It will not
last later than next June, but it may be
satisfactorily settled within two weeks.
Probably 5000 coal mines in the United
States will be abandoned, and nearly a
quarter of a million of miners will be
idle. OF these mines, 800 are located in
Ohio and 30 in the Massillon district. A
majority OF the operators believe the
strikers to have the right of the matter.
But there is a minority ', hich has pre-
vented an. amicable settlement of the
matter, having the power that minori-
ties occasionally secure"

This years campaign brings the

Third. fourth and fifth parties have
declined into insignifcance- The mug
wump can scarcely be heard. The pop
ulist is important only in the Rocky
mountain states, where he promises to
vote a market for bullion at the old

years ago foresaw the growth of a
great national anti-saloon party, now
expects nothing more than to hold his
weakened organization together.
Mugwump, populist and prohibition
list have had time to prove that they
are not capable of conducting to tan
gible results such beneficial reforms
as they may support, even when they
are intrusted with power for that pur-
pose. Like amateur musicians, they
can set up ideal standards for others
and can rail at faults, but fall further
below their standards and prove them
selves less capable of sustained and
concerted action when brought to the
test of public performance than the
poorest of those they have attacked.

failure. He started out to revolution

CHAPTER Y.


On Friday morning a tired and dusty
traveller in a miserable Tennessee
wagon was driven up to the rugged
ACTIVITY in Henderson county now
known as Fort Surges- 1t was then a
wild. overgrown region and all the
traveller and the negro who drove him
colld see sticking out of the brush
half a mile up the rocks was the I'M
painted roof of a small frame house.
The traveller got out. stamped his feet
as if he was cramped by long riding,
gave the negro a two-dollar bill and
began climbing the rocky bank.
1t was Laport.
He sat down on the doorstep of the
house somewhat winded by the climb
and looked about him. The prospect to
the east and north was open revealing
what appeared to be desolate wilder
ness of rocks and forests. with here
and there the blue peaks of the distant
mountains showing between. While
he sat there. the door opened; man
whom he did not recognize appeared
and spoke to him Familiarity.
Come inside. profes:or-you can
rest yourself much better indoors"
He looked at the speaker. 1t was
Kent. but save for something in the
tone of his voice, Laport did not know
him. He appeared broader and heavier
and older.
lie considerably assisted Laport to
rise, saying: I've been waiting break
fast for you. You may dismiss further
anxiety. Your troubles are ended. You
must be hungry after your long ride !"
Once inside the house, a Widespread
table presented itself and the men sat
down.

He called to a servant who came in
from the one other apartment and
brought the meal. Laport looked on
with expectancy and was silent. while
Kent both ate and talked.

1t becomes necessary again to re-
mind exultant republicans and de-
pressed democrats that 1894 is not
1896.
There has not been for the past four
months any doubt that the republic
ans would gain in this falls elections
No party has ever won on a general
revision of the tariff taking effect
shortly before the election. The coun-
try feels the evil effects of uncertainty.
without time to get the good results
of the change. In the present instance,
while the benefits of free raw mate
rails and reduced taxes could not be
experienced before the early cleo
tons, the shame of the exacions en-.
forced by the trust combinations was
plain to all. The democrats have suf-
fered both from the delay and the
disgrace.
1t is possible that a continued and
increased revival of prosperity may
help the party in some of the Novem-
Der elections, particularly at the
west But the causes which kept
democrats in large numbers from
voting in Vermont and Maine are
likely to produce similar results else
where if the prevalent
dissatisfaction shall anywhere be
aggravated by a display Of arrogant
bossism or the nomination of unfit
candidates.
But the conditions will be wholly
different when the great battle OF
1896 shall come on. The undoubted
good effects of the measure of tariff
reform secured will meanwhile give
object-lessons in every family. There
is good chance that the odious tax
for the benefit of the sugar trust may
be repealed. The faithless repre-
sentatives who betrayed their party

A certain large business concern in
st. Louis has in its employ young
lady, clever with the typewriter, and
of avera ge intelligence. One day one
of the firm had occasion to send one
hundred dollars by telegraph to one of
his travelling representatives The
typewriter was going to dinner and it
was but little out of her way to call at
the Western Union telegraph office.
Giving her the address he gave her
ninety dollars in bills and ten dol
lars in silver, and asked her to have it
sent by telegraph
Looking at the silver doubtfully, the
Young lady said, hesitatingly: The
bills are all right, but they can't send
this silver by telegraph. can they?"
Her employer did not fully under
