ISOLATED Press recently. October
20, statements were made that the
conflict between Chancellor Won
Caprivi and Count Gutenberg, re-
specting anti. socialist measures
was more critical than ever and
that at a recent conference of the
ministry of state bitter words
were exchanged between the
chancellor and the Prussian
pre- mier, owing to the latter in
sisting upon more severe measures
than General Won Caprivi was dis =
posed to introduce into the Reichs.
tag. The conferences, it was added,
broke up with the ministers en-
tirely in discord, with the chan
cellor's incline to resign rather
than submit to the Reichstag
measures, with which he has no
sympathy, and which he convinced
the Reichstag he could not accept.
These statements were based on
statements by the chancellor in
person to the corresp )ndent Of the
Associated Press, who, however,
was pledged to secrecy respecting
the source. Now, however, Caprivi

Thrilling Ride of "a Burlington Engineer
and Fireman.
GALEsBURG, Ill, May 25.-On account
of the lack of coal the Chicago, Bur
lington & Quincy railroad made the
experiment Wednesday night of run
ming the fast mail from Chi
cago with oil. When the train
was miles east of Kewanee
and running at the rate of so miles an
hour, the glass in the lubricator can
broke and instantly three quarts of
kerosene were spilled by steam pres
sure through the cab. Striking the
hot boiler head, the oil was ignited
and the next moment the whole inte-
rior of the cab was Allied with flames.
The fireman, Edward Martin, was
standing in front of the lubricator,
and his clothes, saturated with oil,
were quickly all ablaze. He rolled on
the cab floor to extinguish the flames.
EngineerV. E. Giddings thrust one arm
and leg and his body from the cab win
dow, and with the other foot set the
brake and brought the train to a stand
still. Martin, before the train
stopped, jumped from the floor, and,
with flames streaming from his clothes,
rushed to the water tank, raised the
cover and jumped in, extinguishing the
flames. Giddings jumped from his en-
gine and rolled around in the wet
grass.
Martin was put on freight train
and brought home. His clothes, save
his undershirt, had been destroyed by
the fire. He was horribly burned and
is in precarious condition. Giddings'
left hand was badly burned, and the
flames devoured his overalls and trou-
sers, only his drawers saving him from
serious injury

NOTHING MOVES SOUTH.

The Sioux City Tribune, democratic,
quotes approVingly the recent remarks
of Senator Morgan, of Alabama, about
the absence of labor movements South,
and especially Coxeyism-on the score
that the South does not believe in pater-
nalism in any form.
This would be an important fact, if
true. The South is by heredity aristo-
cratic and autocratic, and the South
has a very efficient and successful meth
cd of dealing with the people who COM
plain at the order of things under the
law.
There are thousands Of men who have
felt the power of these agencies-eVen
though they had the commendation of
good service in the Confederate army.
These agencies are found in ostrscism
easily invoked by protesting against
the unnecessary hanging of two "nig-
gers" when one would have been suffi-
cient
Other agencies are found in the shot
gun fired into the window in the dark
of night, when the man pulling the
trigger could not be seen administering
his protest against reform with buck
shot at ten PAGES
Another means of repression is found
in hempen rope applied in slip-nOose
fashion to the neck of the reformer in
his own door-yard, where the widow
can easily remove the remains to her
home, and give it care. This saves
hitching up the cart, and is Got as nasty
as filling up the reformer with shot
holes, out which comes ugly gore A
fellow so shot bleeds horribly and mas
ties everything up so
Then another sure means of repres-
sing the aspirations of reform is found
in the midnight whippers, and other
attendants of the ku-klux- -klan-like
burning a mans house down over his
head in mysterious way. These meth
ods make the reform cry one full of
deadly danger down that way, where
freedom of speech is all right so long
as the speech suits the autocratic, sris-
tocrstic, domineering power-one of
the results of which Is found in the
election of such splendid specimen of
the ''sang bleu" as Senator Morgan.
Better the gustY, stormy days of the
free North, where men can say what
they think, and think what they please
where actual conditions may be spo-
ken of, remedies suggested, and yet no
appearance expected anywhere of the
assassin, the bull-whipper, the house
burner, or other adjuncts of the oligsr-
chical civilization that throttles labor
life in the Southern States The dem
ocratic press may be satisfied with the
dead level of that sort of thing South,
and sigh for it here, but they can't get
it This is the land where school
houses teach liberty of conscience,

OUR INDUSTRIAL ARMIES,

There is mighty unrest among the

that cause is let each one answer for
himself.
In the midst of plenty, in this great
republic of ours, men and women are
on the verge of starvation and despair.

lends assistance to them in their great
need, would be the answer of the good
Samaritan. And this should be the

angel, for it may redeem from hopeless
ness and despair, and helpful hand

Miners and Visitors Climb Up Ladders Out
of Mine.
WnKEsBARRE, Pa. May 26.-At 9
! o'clock Thursday morning 1875 members
of the New York Coal exchange on a
visit here started, under guidance of
Superintendent Laval and other Off
GERS of the Lehigh K Wilkesbarre
Coal company, to inspect the work
ings of the South Wilkesbarre shaft
and breakers. This shaft has an ont
put of 10000 tons of coal a month. and
the great breaker, only three years old,
has a capacity of 1000 tons a day.
Some of the party had descended the
shaft. which is 1000 feet deep. Nine
others were on the carriage 500 feet
down. Others of the party, including
the superintendent, were waiting to
descend.
Those at the shaft and those waiting
to go down were terrified by terrible
explosion. One of the eighteen boilers
had burst. There were 400 workmen
inside the mine and the explosion had
paralyzed the hosting power and the
big ventilator. The mines are the
most gaseous of the country and half
an hour meant death with the fans
stopped. The carriage, descending
with nine of the New Workers, had
stuck 500 feet down.
The workmen inside at once noticed
the stoppage of the air current. They
rushed to the foot of the shaft and
told the visitors that they must climb
straight up the curbing to the surface.
All grasped the cross bars nailed to
the timbers and toiled slowly up to the
surface. assisted and encouraged by
the miners.
A thousand persons had collected
around the shaft. AS the men began
to swarm out the crowd cheered wild
ly, expecting, however, to hear that
some one had lost his hold and fallen,
to be crushed in shapeless mass. But
all had clung fast. Some tainted as
soon as they reached the surface from
the strain. At noon all the New York
ers were safely out and all but a few
miners, while workmen were busy re-
pairing breaks in the steam pines.

New York Merchants Preparing to Make
Protest.
New YORK, May 20 The business
men are to make formal protest
against the income tax feature of the
Wilson bill. The merchants, bankers
and insurance men have taken it up.
Among other things there is to be big
mass meeting, probably at the Metro
politan opera house. The call denounces
the income tax as an attack on the
industries of the north and an attack
without any excuse on thrift wherever
it may be. 1t was decided to call a
more general meeting for Monday aft
ernoon at $3.50 o'clock, and in the
meantime invitations will be sent to
prominent men in every line of
business to come and express their
views on the tax. In the general talk
about the methods that might be used
to fight the tax, it came out that in
surance companies had already begun
their attack in the shape of petitions.
Each of the big companies had sup
piled its agents with circular letters
and petitions and the insurance agents

will be formed.

THE DEAD TRAMP-AND
THINGS.

Colonel A. Wsdewater Swain had {
beautiful dream Sunday night in which
white-robed Kelly angel appeared a.

on the head and whispered: Consist
ency thou art a jewel" This SO pleased
the colonel that he turned over. But
horrors, there stood the ghost of the
dead tramp, who shrleked CONSISTENCY
thou art Jewell" It is now known to 6
certainty that brother Swain sleeps
with an electric light burning all the
night in his room, to keep the evil spirit
aWay.-Osksloosa Times.
We doubt the wisdom of resurrecting
the victim of Democratic tramp rule,
''for revenue only" If it had not been
for Democratic tramp trust, using the
tramps for the robbing of the people,
Wendshl would not have been dressed
up seedy as a tramp catcher-s man
hunter as it were and there would have
been no dead tramp, nor trial for the
killing. That reign of fee grabbing
among the Democratic officials is one
of those sort of things that the Times
was very blind to. OF course, Swain
let loose some hot and testy words
about the whole tramp nuisance, then
and since, and they will have to stand
as they sre-without apology to dead
tramp or live fee grsbber.
1t was an orgy of organized, well
planned plumber that marked the tramp
business. 1t was encouraged by bribes,
by liquor, by every scheme known that
would make fees-snd the friends of
the Times were, like little Willie fright
in it, every minute" with both feet and
all the snout
The ghost of that dead tramp is look.
ing for the Democratic machine that
killed the corpus. He was hunted for
the fees that might be made out of him,
whatever he was, and the Times does an
unkind thing to him to hustle him
