CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo, June Tho
war clouds that hover over Bull hill and
Battle mountain look very threatening.
A rumor has reached tho camp chat the
deputies are preparing to advance toward
Bull hill, and the miners are preparing to
give them a warm reception. There is no
truth in the rumOr that the miners have
a lot Of deputies prisoners. Tie strikers
are making prisoners of men whom they
consider dangerous TO their safety and it
Is stated that 80 persons are thus held in
custody.
The strikers surrounded the Summit
mine, captured three nonunion miners
ana destroyed the telephone. Mrs W. ID.
Snol, wife of one of the miners employed
in the Strong mine. has been driven from
the camp. The strikers threatened to take
her life and destroy her property if she re-
manned. Her husband who had incurred
the enmity of the mob, suddenly disap-
pcared several days ago, and she believes
ho has been murdered. She was not per
mitted TO look for him before leaving for
Colorado Springs.
Governor Waite and party were weather

The governor is greatly disappointed. as

iournod sine die, having accomplished
nothing. The operators say, Every man
Nr himself, and the devil take the hind
most
The operators conference was called to
ordor with G. @. Brown Of this city as
chairman and Paul Morton Of Chicago
secretary. Forty operators were present
The southern and central operators were
not present and said they would not go in
TO the conference unless the Consolidated
and larger mine operators did The small
er operators were afraid of being squeezed
by the larger ones.
A mass meeting Of miners was held
down town and was largely attended. Tho
mon said thcy were ready TO treat with
the operators at any time. The chances
for "a settlement seem rather slim.
The operators conference passed rcsolu-
tions doplcring the fact that the southern
operators refused to meet with those from
the northern Illinois districts and an
nuuncing that the latter were ready to fix
"a scale satisfactory to all
Charles kidgely, president Of the Con-
solidated mines, flatly refused to enter the
conference and sent word to that effect.
The members criticised Mr. Ridgely severe
ly, claiming "a settlement could be effected
at this meeting II he would 90 in.
The southern Illinois operators say that
they will now 60 home and try and effect
a settlement with their own men on the
best terms they can secure. They are red
hot mad against the northern operators
and the Consolidated operators in general
and President Ridgely in particular, and
they say II 10 had not been for Ridgely the
entire matter would have been settled.
State President Crawford and National
President Mcbride Of the miners fedora
tion say the situation now reverts to its
inception, and they can make no specific
statement as to what will now be done
They said they would not like to be re-
sponsiblc for any future actions of tho
men. They were out 10 stay, even though
1t stopped every engine in the United
States and every cook stove i'm tho land
They had offered flag Of truce and done
all i'm their power toward n settlement and
had been repulsod. The whole matter was
with the operators, and they were to blame
for all future proceedings.
President Mcbride Of the United Mine
Workers, before leaving for Columbus, o.,
addressed a monster meeting of miners in
front of the courthouse. He attributed
the blame for the failure Of the conference
of the operators to the refusal Of the Con-
solidated Coal company 70 enter it. Pres

That Is a confession aud a proof. Il is a

Heretofore the Tribune and all the pro

we're no monopolies, and that there we're

wREcKINe TRAIN WRECKED.
Tweniy-nine Railroad Employees Badly
shaken Up.


ATTLEBoRo, Mass, June Within 100
yards Of the scene Of the railroad wreck
at Sharon Heights Wednesday another ac-
cident in which 20 men were more or less
injured, has happened The wrecSing
train, after clearing up the debris Of the
first accident pulled out for Boston. In
the rear car were 20 men, most OF whom
were asleep. A too quickly turned switch
at the end of the siding leading into the
main line ms thewrecking train passed de
rallied the last car, which left the iron and
turned on its side. The drawbar held, and
the coach was dragged rapidly along tho
track, throwing the men therein in con-
fused heap upon one another.
Six of them became unconscious from
the bruises they received, and the remain
ing % suffered minor bruises and a severe
shaking up. The coupling finally gave
way, but not until the sides Of the car
had been ripped of and some of the men
hurled out upon the roadbcd.
The engineer did not discover that any
thing was wrong till sharon was reached,
after which the train was backed TO the
scenc of the accident and the much bat
tered crew picked up and the track again
cleared Tho most seriously injured were
carried to their homes in Boston.

improvement in these prices until NJ
Meline. who 10 the Mckinley prosperity
producer Of France, and his party get
rich of their tariff
This tariff is made in the interest Of
the great land owners who own grazing
farms, but the laws we're exaggerated
under the present administration by the
method Of preventing the entrance Of
foreign meats under the plea that IL
ia diseased The Meline law and the
administration Of It served to increase
prices for the monopoles The conse-
quence is that less meat is sold for
greater profit. The theory Of the pro-
tectiouists that home production is
stimulated and that local competition
keeps down prices ought to work, but It
does not work. The monopoly works
The grazers having the home market
secure fix prices to suit themselves.
The poor people are compelled to buy
less meat. Of poorer quality at higher
rates Meanwhile there have been a
great many bankruptcies and failures in
the butchers trade.
The fact is that the effort to control
the trade for the benefit of the great
land holders has not benefited them TO a
Commensurate degree with which it has
injured the poor people. That. Of
course, excludes any consideration Of
Justice aud all questions Of the right Of
the legislature TO seize one mans
property to bestow upon another man, or
to make laws taxing the many for the
enrichment OF few.

That, alone, should have been enough to
prevent the law. But even on
the theory of the latter,
which is that the land owners and
cattle breeders would be benefited, the
law is a failure. The cattle grazers
have not been benefited. The same
sort Of law was introduced into the Della
ware Legislature and found favor with
men who had some interest in increasing
the price Of meat, but it was quickly
squelched, because the people OF this
state could not be impressed with the
idea that they should pay more for
meats than they could get them for from

MILLloNAIREs ANp ogMAaoeues.

MlLLloNAlREs AND DEMAooGUES.
It seems as II the entire social and
industrial fabric Of our government is
misconceived and corrupted.
There are thousands who Imagine that
Il is the duty Of the government to regu-
late society and promote industry. There
are some who are clAmorlng for one thing,
some for another thing, so that more
than one half Of the people, perhaps, are
expecting employment. succor aid, re-
lief or wealth from the government.
Paternalism has begun to run riot; ma
ternalism, II there is such heresy, has
begun.
This, we believe, is the result of that
prolific brood Of legislative errors, which
have come to curse the country since
the Republican party began to decline
and to adopt temporary expedients to
retain power on a diminishing vote, and
an exploded reputation.
That party is certainly responsible for
the industrial elamor for protection. A
factory fails to make a profit. The
owner Of II does not seek the cause, he
demands that foreign competition must
be prohibited that he must have control
Of the home market; that he and his
associates shall be allowed to fix prices
80 as to ensure profits. He demands in
fact that the government must make
his factory pay.
From that proceeds the easy and obvi-
ous deduction that the government must
establish or stimulate. as the case may
be, every industry in order TO give EN-
ployment to workingmen who profess e
be unable TO find It for themselves

not inimical to the welfare Of others.
Personal rights do not include public
