Prediction of n Mine Operator.

CLEVELAND. May s.-An officer Of the
Massillon Coal Operators Association, who
has been travelling in the Ohio and Penn
sylvania fields for several days, said to-
day that the big conference which will be
held IN this city next week will put an end
TO the strike whether an agreement Is
reached or not. 1.-THE proposition of the
big operators" he said, who have offered
what the men have asked, namely, the
rate that was fixed several years ago,
which averaged about 20 cents, will be ac-
cepted- Many of them have the assur-
ances OF their men that they will 20 TO

are put in operation the strike will be

CONNELLSVILLE, Pa, May 8.-The
Frick Coke Company is making a desper-
ate effort to start its works secretly as
was done during the great strike three
years ago. The company is collecting men
at all its works who are willing TO work
and will start one plant at a time. If this
Is unsuccessful new men will be brought
into the region, and in that event there

Farm are becoming desperate and have
posted notices on all the company houses
warning the men 10 keep away. The no.

with the following written underneath i'm
large red characters: "Death-All men
who go 10 work at Hill Farm tomorrow,

THE AUSTRALIAN BAIIOr

The friends OF a genuine and COM
plete Australian ballot should not With
hold their votes from the Walton bin
because it does not fill the measure of
their reasonable demands.
Half loaf is better than no broad ."
and some OF the people are starving for
a good, square election. The passage
Of the Walton bill will at least indicate
n purpose on the part Of the Legislature
to make change, and though-as John
Randolph once entitled one OF his care
fully prepared speeches-"Change is not
reform" we viii in this case at least
be getting out OF a horrible rut.
The Walton bill is obviously very i'm
perfect. and must be much amended be-
fore we can claim a reliable Australian
ballot system. but it is a beginning. and
whenever the Australian system has been
tried in any form-as far as we have
heard-it has proven more satisfactory
than was anticipated. though in many. If
not most, cases the law was subjected
TO subsequent changes.
After all, We may say:
For forms Of balloting let fools contest
That best administered is the best"
And that is why we wanted the Judges
of election to be appointed by the coun-
ty courts.

The death of Gen. Jubal A. Early is
an event Of too great and too solemn inn
portance TO be passed by without decided
recognition and remark. He had his
faults-all men have-but he had a ten
der heart a brave and loyal nature, a
burning and a. boundless patriotism. and
he loved Virginia better than all the
rest of the whole world combined. This
Is not the time or place to speak Of
General Early's deeds as a Confederate
soldier They were great and they have
given him deathless name that will
last as long as men bear arms and that
fame will be heightened, too. more by
his disasters than by his successes. With
a handful Of half-starved. half-clad nm
shod men. he held the open Valley Of
Virginia for months against one Of the
best equipped armies OF modern times
outnumbering him anywhere from three
to one TO five to one. defeating IT i'm open
battle repeatedly. and battling it for
whole summer in an expansive plain
without single defensive position.
Eariy's glory as a stubborn fighter will
come in great part from Fredericksburg,
Second Manassas. Sharpsburg, Gettys-
burg. and the campaign Of the spring OF
1864. But his place as a commander Will
be fixed by his immortal defence Of the
Valley against Sheridan.
General Early is one Of the very few

American history. And not of American
history only, but all history There have
been wars that may have been as OBJ

Tho case NJ Mr. George Booker. OF Old
Point charged with assault on the edit
or Of the News was heard In the county
court wednesday, and the news that Mr..
A. b. Guigon. Of Richmond. son OF the
late Judge Guigon. had been employed
TO assist in the prosecution. and that Col.
r. C. Marshall. Commonwealth 5 Attor-
ney for Norfolk county mas Deeh added
to the counsel for the defence drew
large crowd TO the COURTROOM says the
Hampton News Of yesterday. AFTER the
report Of the testimony, the account con-
tinues as follows.
The case was resumed at 8 o'clock.
and Mr.. T. l.. Montague opened the ar
gument for the prosecution In most FOR
chile manner and for fifteen minutes
gave some most pertinent reasons why
a verdict should be given for the prosecu-
ton.
lie was followed By Mr.. y. s. sesar
and Col Marshall both Of whom made
most forcible speeches. and showed the
assault in the most favorable light for
their client.
They were followed by alr. \. L. Gui-
gon, for the prosecution. who closed the
case I'm a way t. remove all cobwebs
that might have formed on the minds Of
the jury during the able arguments Of
the gentlemen who had Immediately pre-
coded him, and putting the assault in
its true light. disrobed it of all the gloss
and polish with which it had been garb-
ed and showed it TO the jury in all its
ugliness.
The case was given to the jury at 10
O'Clock, and for an hour they discussed
the matter and it began To look like
another hung jury. when Mr.. Savages
stick was heard rapping on the door and
the jurymen filed out. After the usual
questions, the jury reported that Mr..
George Booker had been found guilty OF
the offence wherewith he was charged
and fined s..
The smallness OF the fine caused a
general smile 10 go around the large
crowd who were in waiting and they
quickly scattered TO their homes.
The closing argument of Mr.. A. 3.
iuigon was unque~tiOnably one OF the
most logical and conclusive expeditions
)f the law, as it applied 10 the case,
ever heard in Hampton, and in the minds
IF many It was the strongest grouping
IF facts and law given here for years.
and that in a court where Senator Voor-
lees. Hon. John Goode Judge Heath.
and others have practiced. Mr.. Guigon is
no orator, but his keen, finished style of
argument places him in the front rank OF
.riminal lawyers.
