ASSASsINATEO BY STRIKERS
A Working Miner Riddled with Bullets
Mt Hia Own DDor.

at His Own Door.
BiRMINGHAM. Ala. May 2l.-The strik-
ing miners at the Pratt mines are held re-
sponsible for cowardly assassination,
which occurred at that place yesterday.
a mob of masked men went to the houss
of Walter Glover, a miner who had -
fused to strike, and called him out, tell.
ing him they were officers and desired to
see him. When he opened his door vol
ley was fired. Giover's body was riddled
with bullets, and he died instantly. His
bed, wherein slept several children, was
also riddled, but the children escaped by
fleeing from the house.
The mob then fled, closely pursued by
Deputy Sheriffs Hickman and Massey,
who were armed with rifles. A running
fight followed for half a mile. One of the
murderers fell, evidently wounded, but
the Others lifted him up, and the entire
party escaped to the woods. When Sheriff
Morrow arrived with reinforcements he
arrested Con Sullivan, Jerry Hillery and
John Driver, three strikers, who were
brought here to Jail. Dogs that were
placed on the murderers' trail aided in To-
eating the men who were arrested. Other
arrests will follow, as there were dozen
or more men in the mob. Great excite
ment prevails at Pratt mines. The
strikers arc highly indignant over the ar.
rest of the three men, and held an indig.
nation meeting last evening. FurtheH
trouble is feared.

that the foods at Williamsport and in tho

disaster throughout the northern. part of

the Johnstown and Williamsport disasters
horrified the country. At some points the
flood threatens to outrank that of 1889,
and equal the historic spring freshet of

THE BOND NATTER.

The question in the matter OF selling
bonds to meet the deficiency in the Treasury
lie not one of expedience, but Of necessity.
There seems TO be no other way In which
the Treasury can be relieved from its pres
ent financial embarrassment and the nation
81 credit protected against dishonor. 1t is
claimed that the receipts Of the government
are running behind the expenditures at the
rate Of 10000, 900 month, the gold reserve
has been reduced to point beyond which
it Is not prudent to go, and the conditions
do not give any promise OF improvement
but seem instead to forebode increased mis-
fortune. Under such circumstances Secre.
tary Carlisle has no choice between bond
selling and failure TO meet the imperative
financial demands Of the government. He
must have money, and must have il ct once,
or the payment Of ordinary public expenses
will be impossible. His appeals 70 Con-
gress for remedial legislation have been
treated with apparent indifference. and there
is nothing leit for him to do but to take
the responsibility Of issuing and marketing
bonds under law passed nearly twenty
years ago without reference to such con,
tingency as now exists. This authority is
considered by some doubtful, technically
speaking, but the Secretary will be justified
by the people in acting upon it, in view of the
urgency Of the situation and the vital i'm.
portance Of the interests involved. The
bonds will be readily taken by the banks
aud capitalists on terms which will make
them equivalent TO 8 per cent loan, and
thus the Treasury will be relieved OF the
pressing difficulties which now stare It 10
the face.
We incline TO the opinion that Congress
has been slow in not giving the Secretary
oi the Treasury direct and explicit authority
10 issue bonds oil small denominations, bear.
ing low rate Of interest, and selling them
10 the people without the intervention Of
hanks or other financial corporations. A
1 nan of that character would be popular rs
II Is beneficial, since 1t would enlist the
pc onal interests Of all classes OF citizens,
and thus materially lessen the prevailing
prejudice against an increase Of the public
debt for any purpose. The fact being con
ceded that borrowing in some form is un
avoidable, the people should haye the op-
portunity Of furnishing the money. There
can be no doubt either as TO their ability or
their willingness TO buy any reasonable
quantity oil bonds, and 1t would msnfestly
be of great advantage TO the government to
have it's obligations 10 their hands rather
than in those of capitalists and spectators
