BIG STRIKE NOW ON.

The great strike OF the coal-mirers
is on. In the Pittsburg district it has
resulted in an almost total stoppage OF
all the mines. Fifteen thousand OF the
twenty thousand men in the region are
out. According to estimates made by
President John Mcbride, of the United
Mine-W orkers, 24,000 men are already
out and are distributed as follows.

WouI Int BE a Cal nifty.

Clark Howell, editor of the Atlanta
Constitution, is fearful that Mr.. Cleve-
land will not leave enough of the Dem
ocratic party to hold convention in
1895. Such condition would not be a
calamity to the country after the ex-
perience it has had with the Demcc-
racy.

Under the law OF 1880 almost every
new pension granted carried with it
arrears dating from the day of the APP
plication to the date of the first regu-
lar monthly payment, and these ar
rears of pensions swelled the total pay
ments for three yea s, from 1891 to
1893 inclusive, far above the normal,
and far above any possible future re-
quirements. Death not only sadly
diminishes every year the number OF
living war heroes, but the amount of
arrears paid naturally declines with
the number of new claims. The esti-
mates to-day indie ate that nearly S2O.-
coo, 600 of the current year app o. RI
tion will be unspent. We hoe that
no part of this saving has teen effeoted
by Secretary Hoke Smiths favorite
method-surreptious ly cutting of PEN
sioners without notice.

The real name of this interesting in
sect is the periodical cicada, or the
red-eyed cica1a. as bug hunters famil-
iarly cal it. It does not belong to the
locust tribe, which are near relatives
of the gras shopper and distinguished
by great ability to jump. The diction-
aries derive the word locust from two
Latin words, meaning burned place,
and the popular use of that word as the
name of the cicada is justified by the
10 stimony of writer's who have de-
scribed the ravage5 of the seventeen
year locusts. One who travelled 100
miles through tie forests of Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio after they had APP

Intellectual.

In country places where amusement
is not abundant and people depend upon
each other for diversion, neighborly ia
miliarity naturally hourishes, and the
habit Of running in" to visit friends
may be carried to an unpleasant excess.
A family living in North Carolina
found it something of strain upon
their ideas of hospitality to be obliged
every day to entertain tedious woman
of 80. The favorite book or the neces-
sary piece of work had to be put aside
in order to shout bits of conversation in
her ear.
At last the father, in desperation,
planned to go into a sudden fit of tenn
per in the presence of the obnoxious
caller in the hope of convincing her that
they were not pleasant people to visit.
Accordingly one evening, when he re-
turned from business and found the old
lady present as usual, he began to talk
loudly and in an irritated voice. Then,
growing more excited, he stamped about
the room, knocking furniture right and
left and ended by going out and bang
ing the door after him.
The old lady knitted away quietly
through the confusion, and when the
man was gone she turned to the family
and said in a comforting voice.
Il reckon it was mighty lucky | was
here, or you'd had to take it. But you
needn't be frightened. I'll stay right
here with you till he gets over it.

IL Concerns Us All More Deeply Now Than
Ever Before-A Far Greater and Nobler
Use of the Term Than the Original One.

How frequently we make use of popular
quotations, and we do so because they de-
scribe so accurately our feelings. The head
ing of this article, meaning, came, saw
and conquered, was first employed by julius
Caesar to describe one OF his victories, but
even this great man little realized the mag
nitude of what might be involved in his
famous expression. Recent events have
called forth the use of it in a grander and
more sublime meaning than ever before.
Mrs. 1. e. Ditmar, who resides at S06
Parker St., Boston Highlands, Mass, says
"I had been suffering for four or five
years with dyspepsia, indigestion and con-
stipation, experiencing constant and severe
pain in the stomach. For years 1 ate
scarcely anything, and could take no food
without suffering the greatest misery. L
had also been afflicted for five or six years
with chils and fever.
CT was induced to try Dr. Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy, and now,
after taking four bottles of this wonderful
medicine, am entirely cured of all these
complaints. My appetite has returned, l
can eat without distress, and the chills and
fever have entirely left me. l consider it a
wonderful cure and 1 cannot speak highly

The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1894-03-10

Mr.. McFarlin rejoiced to observe the
steadfast loyalty of the league. He
hailed it as cheering omen that now,
when the battle is on, no true tariff
reform had been demanded by the
people. Mr.. McFarlin whistles pretty
loudly in his endeavor to keep his
courage up, but he sounds trife
Lonesome as he raises his head just above
the wreck Of tariff reform created by
the party which he and others of his
ilx have supported and glances over
the desolation spread out before him.
There is an unsubstantiated tradition
that at the time when the earliest flood
of which we have any record was rapidly
reaching its height, nervy, if
not very discreet neighbor of
Noah's refused TO be taken into the Ark
as it passed the tree top to which he was
clinging for the reason, as he is said to
have alleged, that it was not ''going to
be much of a shower after all"
Whether at any subsequent period of
the then prevailing wetness he changed
his mind, the story does not relate. Mr..
McFarlin reminds one of this man.
The Tariff Reform League" has for
years past been an annex of the Demo
cratic party. 1t has urged the people to
vote the Democratic ticket.
Elect Cleveland and the Democratic
party and strike off the fetters
that have bound New England's indus
tries hand and foot has been the leagues
war cry. Free iron, free coal, and
free wool has been its demand.
The people took the leagues
advice and yesterdays publication of
the Tariff bill showed where their zeal
for reform has led them. Every
New England manufacturing industry
has received knife thrust. Free raw
materials save wool have been denied
and the duties on the manufactured
products have been cut and slashed.
Yet McFarlin sees in this, reason to
"hope."
Mr.. McFarlin wants free iron ore
bacause he is an iron manufacturer,
and it would help him. But in addition
he also wants duty on manufactured
iron. His desire is selfish and
no cares not how many other
industries may be ruined if ho can Sc
cure what he wants. Like Artemus
Ward, who urged all his wife's
relatives to enlist. he is
urging ON Others to destruction while
keeping out of the way himself. Mr..
McFmlin's patriotism, like Wards, is
commendable only from his own point
OF view.

TOWN AND GOWN.

To the hundreds of Brown alumni
assembled in Lyman gymnasium last
evening, that must have been an inspirit-
ing occasion. To say nothing of
the immense number of promi-
nent Rhode Islanders seated at table
all over the hall, the meeting called out
bigger handful of eminent alumni from
abroad than have perhaps ever been
gathered together at one time in Provi-
dence. The object Of the reunion was
to discuss methods for more intimately
associating the general community and
the university, and AS preliminary TO
this end Providence Alumni Associa-
tion was formed, while alumni and local
business men frankly discussed the situ-
alton at the meeting.
1t is of course fact that u
city is extremely fortunate within
whose borders stands COL
lege like Brown, with possibilities
of growth TO become University
second TO none in the United States.
To assemble together on College Hill
hundreds, nay thousands, of students
from all over tlfe country is not
only of immediate financial bene-
fit TO the community but it
is much more pronounced aud far-reach-
ing in its after influence on the welfare
of the city and State. just why Brown
has not been more warmly supported by
the citizens of Providence and Rhode
Island is fair question for discus
sion, though it is not new
one. The speakers at last nights
most interesting and instructive
symposium were strongly inclined to
charge the city and State with unpar-
donable and short-sighted apathy.
Brown University. however, has within
the past few years had evidence enough
that good many people hereabouts feel
honestly that it is the University's own
fault if it has not had fair treatment.
Drop the past. Find out how to
remedy the unfortunate situation.
There is already encouragement enough
1t is a fact that an extraordinary growth
in the number OF students at the Uni
versity, and the increasing proportion
thereof whose homes are in Rhode
Island, have been the material response

parent policy to go out among
the people is coincident with

PEELED to use gold, or whatever else he
had TO redeem them"
The truth is that Mr.. Carlisle finding
that his bond call was failure on ac-
count of its dishonesty, and that the
whole issue has not been taken up,
and having had the legality Of the
issue questioned in both Houses
of Congress, dares not attempt
10 issue another series of bonds, and is
anxious to have this bill pass. Its pas
sage would give Carlisle currency with
which to meet the running expenses OF
government, and possibly would tide
him over until Congress comes to his
relief with a bill authorizing a loan.

THE SENATE CUCKOOS.

The Administration defenders were
kept pretty busy in the Senate yesterday
afternoon, endeavoring to contradict the
belief that the Bland bill. with its at
tendant imitation was, ii not instigated di-
rectly by the Admin stration, at least APP
proved and desired by Secretary Carlisle
and Mr.. Cleveland, and in their attempt
to exonerate the Administration they
blundered and stumbled until the two
members of the Administration most
directly interested must have prayed
earnestly to be delivered from their
friends. Mr.. Villas declared that the
Secretary of the Treasury has asked for
no such legislation and that "he is
known to stand opposed to its utility at
this time" The deliciousness of this
last phrase is appreciable when the de-
nunciation of the bill in the columns of
almost every paper, regardless of poll
tics. in the land is considered.
"At this time -
Why eat this time," Mr.. Villas? If
the bill is dishonest measure. a breach
of public faith rs charged, why is it
that Mr.. Carlisle "at this time stands
opposed TO il and mot at other times?
What has brought about this present
attitudes Mr.. Villas, in reply TO the init
nations of Senator Aldrich that while
the Secretary of the Treasury has not
formally presented any request for the
legislation, he has semi-offically made
a request in order that the passage
of the bill might be of some assis-
tance in carrying out the policy
agreed upon, said that "the Senator
from Rhode Island is perfectly aware of
the fact that the Secretary of the
Treasury, charged as he is with the
credit and honor Of the Government ia
every financial aspect. cannot but view
this bill with alarm"
Senator Aldrich probably is not aware
of any such state OF mind on the part Of
the present Secretary of the Treasury, or
il he is he possesses knowledge Of which
the rest of the country is in ignorance.
That a Secretary of the Treasury
should be jealous of the credit and honor
of the Government in every financial
aspect isunquestioned, but that Secre-
tary who makes bond issue to extricate
himself from u bad hole
and deliberately violates the only law
under which he derives authority TO
issue the bonds by disposing of the pro
ceeds in an illegal manner possesses
any such feeling Of honor is extremely
doubtful.
But what authority has Mr.. Villas to
array Mr.. Carlisle against the Bland
initiation scheme, when Mr., Carlisle
himself has not only sanctioned the Bland
scheme but has announced his intention
of redeeeming The Bland certificates in
gold. His testimony before the judi
ciary committee OF the House shows
that when Representative Oates asked
what he thou INT of The pending propo-
siiion CHE Bland bllD for the coinage Of
10000 600 Of the seigniorage from silver,
and issuing of certificates upon that
Mr. Carlisle replied "rhe effect Of that
would be that the Secretary Of the
Treasury would issue silver certificates
calling for dollars, / suppose, IL there
were no dollars behind them, and IL
they came in for redemption, as they
ought. the SECRETARY would be com-
