After-Election Thoughts.

A few years ago a man lost his lifi
in a western cyclone. His eastern
friends telegraphed, asking that TIN
remains be sent back. The answer
came, "1'here are no remains
The Democracy has been struck By
a cyclone and the result is much tn,
same, so far as remains are concerned
We give elsewhere a complete re-
port Of last weeks election, showing
how complete The Republican triumph
was.
Nothing equalling it has ever be-
fore occurred in the history of the
country. 50 complete was the over
turn inM Republicans are as much
aslounded as Democrats, The most
sanguine proiectionist did not dream
Of victory 50 pronounced.
The result is the more remarkable
when compared with the Democratic
tidal waves which swept the country
in 80 and '92. The pendulum has
swung back and further than ever.
The Republicans carried every
northern state by astonishing figures
except in California and Nebraska,
where the election of Democratic gov
crnors has marrcd the otherwise clean
record Of these two states. The wave
did not break on Mason and Dixon's
line either. but reached North Caroli-
M, Tennessee. Kentucky and Missou-
ri, which gave Republican majorities.
The Democrats also suffered defeat in
their strongholds Of Delaware. Mary
land and We st Virginia.
In Congress, Democratic majority
of 80 in the House is transformed i'm
to Republican lead Of 100, or more
tlian two-thirds Of all the members.
Even the Senate, which the Democrats
considered safe for decade, has been
lost to that party, with the Republic
cans in the lead and the Populists
holding the balance of power

many in New York city are especially
in their moral effect, showing
that vicious partisanship and reeking
corruption cannot always hold state
or city OF American freemen PROSTATE
under their feet. Dishonesty is de-
feated and denagogy relegated to the
rear.
The causes of this wonderful over
turn are not remote. BY fair prom
ises and working upon prejudice, the
Democrats were able in the two for
mer elections to deceive the laboring
men and delude them into the belief
that low tariff meant increased pros
perity to them. BY their aid, the
Democratic party came into complete
control of the government for the first
time since the war. No sooner had il

The only amendment we could Of

Plumley, providing for the promulga-

would be to have the state furnish all
the newspapers with the law supple

We are pleased to note that various
state exchanges. as well us some spe-
cial correspondents, are agitating the
question OF reorganization Of the
Vermont House of Representatives ON
basis of population. This is a re-
form which, in various fields, we have
done our best TO promote. 1t may be
long way off yet, but its justice is
unassailable, and justice, though
sometimes tardy, eventually triumphs.

men to fill them. The case is causing
much interest among specialists and

A BUTCHERY.
Negroes Shot Down and Chased
Like Wild Beasts.

Strikers.
Birmingham, Ala, July IL
The miners strike, which began
in this district April IA, and out
of which much violence has grown
from time to time, due to the fact
that the operators, failing to come
to an agreement with the strikers,
have been filling the mines with
new labor, chiefly negroes, reach
ed q bloody crisis yesterday even
ing about 5 o'clock, when the stri-
&ers committed horrible butche-
ry at Pratt mines.
A mob, estimated from 300 to
800 of strikers were at the mouth
of slope No. 3, when the negroes
quit work, and fred upon them as
they came ont of the mine, slay-
ing them right and left.
The Pratt mines are located six
miles FROM Birmingham and are
The largest mines in this district.
Ever since the strike began these
mines have been we'll guarded.
Several attempts have been made,
but recently the strikers have been
very quiet, due chiefly to the fact
that for thirty days the military
was encamped at Ensley, only one
mile from Pratt mines.
Soon after the military was with
drawn ten days ago, the troops
were called out again on account
of the railroad strike here and on
ly to-day the last of the seventeen
companies Of soldiers that have
been here left for home. They
were not fifty miles from Birmin-
CHAM before the slaughter occur

During the past few weeks Sc
veral hundred negroes have been
put to work at Pratt mines under
guard at slope No. 3, and the
guard force had been reduced to
eight men, as all was quiet. This
afternoon four of the eight guards
we're given leaves of absence for a
few hours and it was while they
were gone that the attack was
made.
The strikers, it seems, held a
meeting in the woods, near slope
No. 3, and resolved to slay the
negro miners. A mob of them,
estimated 800 to 500, armed with
Winchester rifles, quietly march
ed to the slope and opened fire on
the negros as they came out of the
mines. The four deputies return.

Features Of the Game
Other Sport

Thr Shamrocks and Wheelings met
At the Irwin Park, on the South Side,
Yesterday afternoon, and three or four
hundred "fans" witnessed the humtli-
ating defeat Of the Shamrocks. This
team has been playing in hard luck re-
Gently, and its friends assert that yes
terday's game was not fair sample Of
the kind OF ball which the team puts
up. Be that as it may, Twins sggre-
cation outplayed the Shamrocks at
every point.
The game was replete with errors, as
the detailed score and the comparative
~ small number OF earned runs, will
show. II was, nevertheless, stuboornly
fought from start 10 finish, and there
were a sufficient number Of brilliant
plays TO arouse enthusiasm from the
"beachers" or the grandstand on the
hillside.
The Wheelings started the fun in
the first inning, when Leach got hrst
on an error, Padden hit safely, and Fin
negan's drive brought in two men. In
the fourth inning the Shsmrocks went
90 pieces, and presented their
opponents with half dozen runs.
f. Leach reached first on an error.
Baker ditto. Chambers connected with
the sphere and Leach trotted across the
plate. Malcolm lined out slow one to
second aud Baker came In. Manley
died at first. Smith presented S. Leach
with a bag, filling the bases. Then Pad
den sent ''corker" to left garden, and
when the ball was felded in three men
had scored and Padden stood smiling
on second bag. Finnegan hit TO Buck
lev, who FUN bled, and L. Leach and 5.
Leach died at second.
Five more runs were piled up In the
sixth, and in the seventh Padden caught
a drop and elevated ii over the left field
fence, trotting leisurely around the
diamond. This was one OF the longest
hits ever seen on the grounds.
Tho Shamrocks took the lead In the
first inning, scoring four runs on Bro
dies three Dagger, Padden's tumble OF
Buckley's hit, Kennedy'S single and
Manley's error. They made four more
in the fourth, on account OF Malcolm's
widhess and hits by Brodie, Donovan
and Miller. The Shamrocks scored
again in the seventh and ninth, but
failed to overcome the lead against
them, mainly on account of their ina
bility to connect with MalcoIm's delv-
cry and the splendid field work of the
opposing team.
Malcolm was wild, giving Is bases on
balls, and but for the superb baCk-stop
work of Chamters, the result might
have been different. Chambers also
handled the bat well, making four hits
out OF five times at bat. Persons who
witnessed Yesterdays game would like
to see the two teams come together
again.

sisters, Marion French Shrver aud Corne-
liza Jane Shr,yer, are 20 share this vast
estate with the man whose fortune has
been deferred for so many years
According 90 his story Shriver left his
home 20 Join the Union army at the age Of
81. He served I'm the ranks ill the end of
the war; during which time he was twice
wounded At the close of the war he drift
ed west and In later years served as a

Shriver has not yet called upon Mr..

he will fnd that there is no such sum
awaiting his demand. The main facts
in the shove publication, as learned
from a reliable source here, are true,
