The Freie Presso says of the Solloway
business that the Corruption on small
scale at the filter" shows right plainly
that the Water Commission has not
exercised the necessary oversight over
the inner workings (inne) of this depart
ment, otherwise this "boodlerie" would
never have happened. at is the duty
of the municipal commissions" con-
tinues our German neighbor, "to exer-
else that insight into the faithfulness of
their subordinates that will ensure that
every dollar of the hard-earned taxes
paid by the citizens shall be expended
where it will do the most good and
where it can be best used. With the
growth of our city increases also the re-
sponsibility of our city officials, and
this important point should never be
lost sight of. The Freis Presse repre-
sents no political party, but only the
welfare of the city aud the people in
common. Crooked developments will
always be recorded by us, no matter
who suffers thereby"

After the strike of the bituminous coal
miners has been called off in Penn
sylvania, and the lsw.abiding among
the strikers have resumed or are willing
to resume work upon the terms agreed
on, Governor Pattison has been COM
PEELED to order out two regiments of
State troops to put down band of
riotous Hungarians and Italians, re-
ported to be 1000 strong, who have
seized mining plant, driven away the
employees and inaugurated a reign of
terror at Walston, Jefferson county.
These very men who are conducting
themselves as semi-savages were i'm
ported into this region to aid in keep
ing down the wages Of men engaged
in protected industry-to replace a
better class of strikers in the
getting out of product upon which
the Mckinley law placed duty of rs
cents per ton ito encourage system of
home production which shall give fair
remuneration TO domestic producers
and fair wages to American workmen,"
wide McKinley's report Of April, 1890.
The only thing to do now is to teach
these imported rioters that the law is
stronger than they, and it may be neces-
sary TO teach this lesson AZ the point OF
the bayonet. But the right of the native
laborer to work is at least equally as
sacred as the right of the imported la.
borer to strike, and this must be taught
effectually. There should be no daily.

Two HUNDRED AND FIFTY-ONE DEAD.

Friehtful Result of an Explosion In the
Albion Coal Nine, Near POnt-y-Prldd,
Wales.
LONDON, June 2f.-The further OK
ploration Of the Albion coal mine, near
Pont-y-Pridd, Wales, in which an ex.
ploslon occurred yesterday. has shown
that the disaster Is far beyond anything
imagined last night. The number OF
dead is 25l. The original report that
only goo men were in tho mine at the
time was due to u misunderstanding on
the part af the manager, who thought
that shift of miners had Just come up.
Many OF the dead bodies were mangled
beyond recognition.
Crowds OF women, who have not
slept since the explosion, still surround
the pit, awaiting news from husband
and brothers. Exploration Of the mine
is slow and difficult, owing to the block
ing of tho galleries with wreckage and
dead horses.

The Philadelphia Select Council FRI
day, by vote of 90 to 10, approved
the Boulevard ordinance and the only
thing now lacking is the signature of
the mayor. Tue projected highway is
to run in straight line from the public
buildings TO Paramount Park and the
cost of the improvement is estimated all
the way from six to fifteen million dol
lars. The press OF the city has been at
daggers' points over the measure, such
papers as the Ledger and Record oppos.
ing, while the Inquirer and North
american approve the scheme. The
Ledger dcnouuces the boulevard as
wasteful and indefensible jobbery,
forced through Councils by greedy
and selfish corporations, with the aid
OF lobbyists under the direction
of Bosses Martin and Porter,
and calls upon Mayor Stuart to
veto the measure. The Record says it
is painful to contemplate the means
aud methods By which this audacious
raid on the city treasury has been
forced through the City Councils and
asks "in the name of common honesty
and common decency, where is this
profigacy to stop?' On the other
hand, the Inquirer exults in the passage
of the ordinance as "glory enough for
one day." and says that Philadelphia
will now take her place in the line OF
progressive cities; while the North
american looks upon tie approval OF
the project as ushering in a new and
brighter era in the history of Philadel-
phia.

Brddstreets says of the week ending
Saturday: There are indications Of
moderate improvement in various lines,
and enough instances to render the fact
of some significance. A notably favor.
able feature is the practical ending of
the coke and coal strikes, together with
those in related industries, which will
put to work at once, or soon, more than
100000 men. The number of employees
in industrial lines still on strike is
estimated ut about 10000. There are
sales by iobbcrs in staple lines for future
delivery where nothing save hand-to.
mouth business has been reported for
weeks. At points tributary to Kansas
City and St. Louis grain harvesting is
under FULL Roadway; the condition of
the wheat is excellent, and the demand
for money TO move the crop marked and
the supply abundant. Western steel
works recently started report DISPOSE
ton by capitalists and others to push
new enterprises.
Elsewhere, speaking specifically OF
the great soft coal strike, Bradstreess
says that it is estimated to have cost
directly and indirectly, probably $2O,-
100000, exclusive of business lost, and
has ended in a settlement which pleases
neither side and which may give trouble
later. But, so far as the public Is con.
cerned, the ending of the strike is cause
for congratulation. The ability to Sc
cure large and free supplies of fuel will
no doubt have favorable effect upon
many industries which have been shut
down or put on short time as q result
of the coal famine. 1t is hard to see
though, how the advantages gained by
the strikers will repay them for the long
and bitter struggle Of the past two
months. From the standpoint of STRAIT.
egg it seems now as if no less auspi.
cious time for a strike could have been
chosen. 1t seems certain that the strike
leaders were deceived in their estimates

ton or liable to be marketed in case OF

The people Of the United States who
have seen two honored Presidents struck
down by the assassin's hand within the
past thirty years can appreciate the
shock that came to the people OF France
Sunday night in the message announcing
the death Of President Carnot. His
taking off may have been the deed of
crank, but all the same the civilized
world will look forward to the satisfac.
ton of reading that within a month
from now the avenging guillotine has
dropped that crank's head into the
basket. No matter how much or how
little of crank this Italian assassin may
be, he, like Prendergast who, TO the dis
credit of justice, still remains unhauged,
struck with the knife of the
Anarchist at constituted authority in
the person of the chief officer of
the government, elected to that posi-
ton by the voters of France and filling
his high trust to the satisfaction of the
electorate. The death Of President Car.
not is simply the elimination of the
rampant anarchy which has been cx-
ploding bombs in cafes, churches, and
six months ago, in the Chamber of
Deputies, which latter crime valiant
recently paid for with his head. In
turn, it is the duty Of constituted au-
thority to discard its velvet glove and
strike back with iron hand at all the
anarchistic groups whose existence is
standing menace to peace and law and
order. Men who scheme and threaten
and plot should be treated as enemies to
the human race, and their faDgs should
be drawn before they begin to throw
bombs, to shoot, to stab, or TO ply the
torch of the incendiary. The law Of
self-prcseryation will warrant the treat
ing of these anarchistic piotters as out
laws by every government on earth.

found to have been enough coal on
