with its employees as il is weak in the
financial world.
Under such conditions its action can
cause no surprise, nor do these few
words arise from surprise. They are
simply prompted by conviction that
the circumstances should be placed
before the public so that it may be
seen that the company is not the angel
painted by its hirelings.

l protest against the perversion of Ian
Ruage which we have witnessed in this

make the load heaviest upon those least

are blinded by prejudice against the rich;

Ward McAllister the leader of the
New York four hundred, said the other
day that the income tax, If adopted,
would compel many of the best people of
New York TO live abroad where living is
cheaper. But whittier will they fly? Eng
land taxes incomes more than per cent,
Prussia as high as 4 per cent, Switzer-
land as high as per cent, Italy as high
as II per cent, and Austria as high as 90

Who will choose life under monarchy,
even without an income tax, rather than
live in a republic with 2 per cent tax?
If such there be let them depart. We can
better dispense with their wealth than

At the close Of Mr. Bryan's speech he
was accorded an ovation rivaling that

Cockran's attack on the income tax. The
advocates of the tax crowded about the

utes a long line of members fled up to
shake his hand, while the galleries joined

less to Carry out.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3l.-At a late hour
last night the following details from the
official advices of the navy department
are learned concerning the incidents on
the Goth at Rio de Janeiro:
Two ships were conveyed to the wharves
by the Detroit, the insurgents warships
following them. When nearly at the
wharf, and while a tug was taking cable
ashore, the insurgent warships opened
fire, sending a volley of musket shot un-
der the bow of the tug The Detroit an
swered with a warning shot, and the in
surgent ship then sent shot over the
Detroit. The Detroit in reply sent shell
which reached portion of the stern OF
the insurgents ship, doing little damage
The insurgent commander then fired in
warning a broadside to leeward, in the
opposite direction from which the Detroit
lay. This being answered by another shot
from the Detroit, the insurgents signaled
that unless the Detroit ceased firing they
(the insurgents) would sink the American
ship. The language which was used by
the American admiral in answer to this
signal was of such a nature that the in.
cident closed for that day, and the ships
were allowed to land.
The statement that Da Cana has sur.
rendered is credited here. 1t is supposed
that If he surrendered he did so with
some assurances or prom ises from the
American admiral.

men. One man was probably fatally shot
and a number were injured
Some time ago the company reduced
wages 10 per cent, and the employees re-
fused it, The plant was shut down and
few days ago the finishing department re-
sumed with non-uniOn men. Last night
the strikers held a meeting and resolved
to stand firm. After their adjournment
about fifty colored and white men started
for the mill to drive the non-union men
out.
With curses and vells the mob tore down
the fence and made a rush for the finish
ing department About dozen men were
at work. The mob carried revolvers, clubs
and stones. They fired several volleys,
and at the first one workman whose
name is not known fell to the floor, shot
through the back He will probably die.
The wOrkmeu were then surrounded, and
being outnumbered four to one fed pre-
cipitately from the mill. They were driven
some distance, and then escaped. Several
were injured but how seriously is not
known After their flight the mob quickly
dispersed. The plant was at once shut
down and the furnaces banked. No at
tempt will bc made to resume until men
have protection.

CAPE Town, Jan. 81. - Major Goold
Adams reports to the government that he
has captured a witch doctor who has for
"a long time past been the terror of the
Matabeles inhabiting the kraals in the
vicinity of Shiloh. The most terrible tales
are told of the cruelty and daring of this
witch doctor. He is said to have been in
the habit Of entering the kraals, where
the people were so afraid of him that they
dared not resist, and to have carried of
women and children, whom he murdered.

feet and afterwards picking out their

Finally, it is asserted, the witch doctor
would drag his victims to the river Khami

the bodies Of the helpless and blinded
people to pieces The witch doctor who

sNEAKING RHPROOF.


A few weeks ago we had occasion to
state that Shenandoah miner had ,
lost his work under the Philadelphia
x Reading Coal and Iron Company
because it had been reported that the
man had accepted position as secre-
tary of branch of the Miners and |
Laborers' Amalgamated Association.
To-Day we announce that another
Shenandoah miner has lost his job |
under the company because he accepted |
O. position as secretary of a branch Of
the NJ d l.. A.A. This policy Of the
company is mean, sneaking and
cowardly. Even the subordinate who
carried out the orders for the discharge
must have bluehod for shame when he
notified the victim who, in this case,
was an old, competent and one of the
most trustworthy under the company.
The action is unjustifable and the
method of dismissal is despioable.
is an axiom Of the law, and true
one, that corporations have no souls.
1t could be said with equal truth
that they have no sense Of shame.
They, as a rule, are Blind to all senses
except that of greed and gain and make
no pretensious Of possessing principle
outside of that circle.
some time ago this same company
was charged with doing what it has
done in these two cases, but with
assumed injured dignity the officials
asserted that the company would not
be guilty Of such a mean act In most
of the previous cases, the slimey trail
leading to the discharges had been too
well covered up aud it was impossible
30 uphold the charges, but in the
cases of the present time it is clear
that the company and it's officials have
besmirched themselves.
After a careful investigation Of the
objects of the NJ. q l.. a. A. it has
been impossible to discover anything
that would justify such actions on the
part Of the company. The organizes
tiou has repeatedly declared that its
purpose is not to create or maintain
strikes, or to take any steps prejudicial
to the interests Of coal Operators, either
private or corporate. On the contrary
it maintains that its object is to pro,
cure for its members a fair days wages
for fair days work aud by certain
sub-divi-ions Of representatives pave
The way for calm and intelligent
presentation to the proper officials of
the companies any grievances the
miners and labOrers may have.
Surely these objects are not such as to
make a corporation tremble; unless an
object lesson in that sublime agency
of se-arbitration-is ia itself
repugnant. Yet it is for this that men
are deprived without moments
warning Of an opportunity to earn
their daily bread.
But, upon reflection, why should
such action on the part of the Phila
delphia & Reading Company cause
surpriseP In years past it might have

Ia FOLLOWs AFTER

"a disordered liver-that you're subject to
attacks of cold or chills on slight exposure.
You get tired easily. The feeling is ac-
companied by a tired digestion, which fails
to assimilate the food. This often results in
what we call Indigestion or Biliousness.
Dr. Pierces Pleasant Pellets rouse the liver
TO vigorous action, and this in turn starts the
machinery of the body into activity. Liver,
stomach and bowels feel the tonic effect, and
in consequence the entire system is invigo-
rated The processes become self-regulating,
and a reserve force is stored up against ex-
posure to disease.
If you're too thin, too weak or nervous, 1t
must be that food assimilation is WrOng.
