Remedy for Miners Strikes.

The coal miner strikes extend all over
the country where coal mines are open,
conditions are more insurrectionary than
at any time previous, amounting to we'll
nigh wide spread armed uprising of the
miners The mining companies have
imported thousands of foreigners from the
south of Europe to take the place of
English speaking, largely native Amer
lean miners who resisted the rough usage
and cutting of prices, and the mine opera
tives have on their hands these thousands
OF foreigners who cannot speak word of
English, twice as many as work can be
provided for, and the miners resist the
cut in their wages and other abuses, Just
as the former American miners did. The
great over-supply of this foreign labor
makes it easy to supply the places of the
strikers at any wages offered the half
starved idle masses, and the strikes seeing
nothing but starvation for themselves and
families if this is permitted, are resisting
by making war on the men who are vii
ling to take their places in the mines and
at the coke ovens. The mine operators
apply to the Sheriffs who are enlisting
deputies who are only too anxious to
shoot down the BLASTED foreigner who
have been brought to this country to fill
the places of striking English speaking
miners, who resisted the same expressions
the foreigners are warning against. A
| few days ago most brutal slaughter of
these men was committed by company
of deputies" The miners were followed
for half mile or more and numbers of
them shot in the back as they retreated
far beyond the coal coinpany's grounds.
There is but one remedy for this cry
ing shame and outrage of monopolistic
rich on the weak and helpless workers,
and that will prove drastic and perfect
remedy by removing the cause. That
perfect cure for this monopolistic seizure
of the coal which was stored for the use
of the whole people and has become a
necessity only second to light and air, is
for the State to take possession of the
mines under the right ofeminent domain.
Once in possession of the State or Federal
government, strikes would cease with the
reign of monopoly and the people would
enjoy an abundant supply of coal at the
cost of mining and transportation, and
the men who spend their lives in the dark
mines would receive a fair compensation
for their labor.
These things which the whole commu-
nifty have an equal interest in, which
might properly be designated an inheri-
lance, such as coal, should be i'll the con.
troll OF the whole people which in their
corporate power is the State, and TO COM
pany of men or corporation should be
permitted to enjoy such privileges as
enable them to prey upon the public all
the time and to einbarrass the entire bus
mess of the country at any time.

More Aims House r1uddle.

And now it is discovered that
Mr.. Woolley acted in violation OF
the constitution of the state by hold
ing two offices, one as a trustee OF
the Almshouse and the other a
member of the legislature. The
question is what's to be done about
it! There is only one thing can be
done, if that, punish Mr.. Woolley
for violation of law. His acts as
an officer belong to the past and are
a part of, and inseparable from the
proceedings incident to, and neces-
sarily a part of the public business
of the state and county and cannot
be recalled; no more than can the
victuals stolen and consumed by
the thief, but the unlawful actor
can be punished. To reach and re-
verse his act is impossible.
But with all our smart lawyers
managing affairs how is it that they
didn't know at the out set that Mr..
Woolley was not eligible to both
offices? If a farmer were to allow
Indian hemp or any other rank
weed to grow among his corn and
plead that he did not know they
were weeds till they had gone to
seed, the lawyers would all laugh
at him as a city farmer. Why
shouldn't the farmers laugh at the
lawyers who set up for law makers,
and produce incongruities? They
ought to be retired with the Getty
farmers"

Away With Our House of Lords.

The people of the United States have
seen enough of the doings of the Senate
to satisfy them the best thing that could
be done is to abolish it. 1t is a useless
branch as a legislature and is a very
expensive institution. But the worst
feature about it is its aristocratic instincts.
1t was hindrance in the late war, and its
Wall street tendencies have cost the peo-
pie of the country thousands of millions.
Had it not been for the Senate this coun-
try would never have been i'll the straights
it is now suffering and if it were not for
the baneful power that the American
House of Lords exerts, the country would
soon regain its native prosperity. Let the
word pass along the line for its abolition
1t is the hot bed of plutocracy. The
American House of Lords ought to go.
Its English prototype, the British House
of Lords, is shaking to it fall.

Woman Suffrage.

"Aside from being proverbially beau
tiful and amiable, the women of our State
are also conservative and wise, and, in
general, are quite content with adorniug
the homes of their lords and masters with
those accomplishments and virtue which
belong particularly to the weaker SEX"
The above choice bit is from an edi-
torial of the Baltimore Morning Herald,
in commenting on the recent movement
of the "suffragists'' of that city. 1t is
difiuclt to determine whether blarny or
insult to the women predominates. Mary
lands dirty political kitchen needs moth
ing so badly as the woman's broom to
give it a good moral sweeping.

The Coxey movement, with its Com
monweal armies marching ON to Wash
ilgton, can effect no direct good, but the
movement is having an impression on the
public mind which will influence results
in the future. The poor fellows suffer for
cause they do not understand save in a
dim, shadowy kind ofway, but their suf
ferings and honest, earnest willingness tc
make such sacrifices in their efforts to dc
something to relieve the distress which i:
whitening their class like blight, moves
public sympathy in their behalf, and will
assist in drawing the plain people closer
together and unite their efforts to over
throw the tyranny which is noiselessly
sealing into the American system of gov.
eminent. 1t must be torn up and cast
out before its roots strike deep into the
vitals of the nation.

The Tome Institute.

Prof. James R. Campbell A. NJ,
Director of the Tome Institute, has
published a preliminary program
of the general aim of the new indust-
rial school. The curriculum will
embrace the following studies. The
academic course will include prim-
airy, grammer and high school
grades. A kindergarten will be a
feature of this department. Draw
ing and manual training, science
according to the latest approved
methods.
Well lighted rooms will be set
apart for form study, free hand in
strumental drawing, clay modelling
and wood carving.
The whole aim Professor Camp
bell announces of the academic de-
partment is broad training for
effective citizenship.
Special Courses.-COurses in
domertic art Cookery, sewing, mil
linery), in the commercial arts (ac-
countantship, stenography and
typewriting), in the mechanic arts,
in art drawing, painting, music,
instrumental and vocal, modelling,
wood carving), will be offered as
the demand requires.
In this outline of the curriculum
of the Institute we do not find
political enonomy among the
branches to be taught. No "broad
training" fitting for American
citizenship can dispense with this
branch of education. Nor will the
Adam Smith or Nautilus doctrines
answer for the present time and
American citizenship.
The latter drew his inspiration
from the law which governs the
lower animals and insect life, and
placed man no higher. The former
may have known but thought il
better not to teach the subtle
alchyny which drew two nettles
from every three the old women
gathered for her dinner, and placed
them ON my lords table in the
form of savory viands without al
effort on his part.
No broad training for effective
citizenship can afford to leave this
branch of education out and make
a success.
1t is the aim of the Director anG
Trustees to open the school about
the middle of September.

The Sword.

The members of Company E., M
N. G. of Elkton, Captain w. A.
Wright, are getting in trim for the
annual encampment of the State
militia which will be held this year
at Frederick.
This is the annual picnic or sum
mer outing of the men who prac-
tice the art of scientific killing, paid
for by the men who in the mean
time sweat in the harvest fields.
Every state is being fitted out with
these National Guards. Plutocracy
thinks it will have an opportunity
to use them some day on the men
who are sweating in the harvest
fields while these sons of Mars play
in the shade.
The slave states were full of these
organizations in the sos preparing
them to use in establishing an
aristocracy whose corner stone,
Alexander Stephens said was to be
chattel slavery. Their scheme was
drowned in the blood of its promo
tiers and the "corner st0nen Danish
ed from the world. Plutocacy is
preparing to establish itself on the
corner stone of wage slavery and
corporate privileges, and is diligent
in the preparation of a similar tool
that its chattel slavery brother
used. 1t will be well for this
younger brother of the slave oil
garchy to remember the boastful
confidence with which it took UP
the sword, forgetful of the text !:

The Peoples Party.
THE TELEGRAPH.

In the monopoly of the Western Union
Telegraph Company there is capitalized
Sis, ooo, 900. The lines can be duplicated
for $25, 900, 900. The people therefore are
paying dividends which go into the peck
cts of that monopoly on 100000 of
a0ind. There is bill before congress to
transfer the telegraph from the hands of
this greedy, robbing monopoly to the
government by erecting a government
system. Every post office could be made
telegraph Office as we'll, and the people
could have telegraph service costing less
than half what they now pay and hand
some revenue be returned to the govern
ment. Every sensible business man will
subscribe to the government taking pos
session of the telegraph business and
making it branch of the post office, if
he will seriously take up and consider the
matter. The Peoples party is in favor of
a government telegraph system.
GOVERNMENT CONTROL.
The Peoples party are also in favor of
the government taking the management
of all railroads into its hands. The entire
public are concerned in the travel and
transportation business, as much SO as
they are i'll the courts and other things
which are under government manage
ment
The service would be impartial under
government, as the mail service is, treat
ing rich and poor alike. The small shipper
and the large shipper would fare alike,
and every locality would be treated the
same as large cities, and great centres OF
trade' would have their monopoly Of
business divided and distributed to a very
large extent over the country. The bloat-
ed millionaire and furnishing poor would
not so crowd together, making of large
cities plague spots of congested misery
and crime.
GOVERNMENT BANKS.
The government should furnish the
people with banks as it furnishes then
with post offices, through which they
could transact their business with the
same facility they do their mail business
These four institutions, the post office
the telegraph and its natural electric
adjuncts, the railroads, and the banking
business or care and distribution of thu
peoples money, are all departments 0
business wholly of public nature ant
any profit arising from them should b.
turned into the public treasury for defray
ing the expenses of tine government.
Were these departments placed unde
the government less than they cost the
people under their present corporation
management would produce revenue t.
defray the expenses of Federal and Stat,
governments, besides rendering an impair
tial and just service to the humblest a.
well as the most exalted citizen.
The Peoples party is in favor of these
reforms, and such changes as would insure
their honest and impartial administration
and no other party is. OF the two ole
parties, the one is corporation, rich
mans party and doesn't deny it. The
other is an Office hunting party only.

And Get $4,000 For Few Moments
Worls-when He Recovered From His
Surprise the Robbers Had Fled.
Boston, Jan. 91.-One of the most daring
cases of highway robbery known in this
city for years occurred at $3.50 o'clock yes
terday afternoon on one of the principal
business streets of the city. A. l.. Ben
nett, manager of the Metropolitan Stock
Exchange, 81 Kilby street, while return
ing to his office, was held up in the entry
way Of the building where his offices are
by three young men. One of them held
pistol to his head while another held his
arms, and the third went through him
and took his pocketbook, containing
$780, The thieves then ran into II Kilby
street and escaped through a back en-
trance. AS soon as Mr.. Bennett recov-
coved from his surprise, he notified the
police headquarters, and two bank squad
inspectors were given the case. No clue
has been obtained.
Mr.. Bennett was called on at the Hotel
Oxford, on Huntington avenue, last even
ing. He had just returned from the thea
ter when seen, and was not at all disturbed
over his loss, treating 1t as though giving
up a cool thousand or two to strangers
was an everyday occurrence. From his
guarded replies it rather looked as if he
had been cautioned by the police to keep
mum" so far as the newspapers were con-
cerned
He repeated the story already told by
the police in their report of the matter,
but when interrogated as to his assailants'
appearance, said he did not see enough of
them to know how they did look. He
thought they were young men dressed in
dark clothes, and that was about all he
could recall.
His selection as an object of attention
by the robbers, Mr.. Bennett said, he
thought was due to his being seen count
ing the money and putting it into the
po book to carry away.
