Lawlessness in Alabama.

Our dispatches this morning contain
the announcement of the firing of another
railroad bridge by persons believed to be
coal mine strikers. There have been
seven railroad bridges either destroyed
or partly destroyed in the last six days.
Gov. Jones, of Alabama, has offered a
very large reward for the arrest and con-
viction of each bridge burner. The re-
ward may induce some of those who know
who the guilty parties are to become in
formers.
The situation in the coal section of Ala
bama is becoming daily more serious
The burning of bridges is not helping the
cause of the strikers. 1t is making an
adjustment of the trouble more difficult
The lawless acts are uniting all interests
against the strikers, and the mine opera
tors, instead of making concessions, will
become frmer in their resistance of the
demands of the strikers
The bridge burners may not be caught
Immediately, but the railroads that have

found to discover them and bring them
to justice.
The burning of bridges not only inter
rupts travel and traffic, but endangers
human life. The trains are in danger of
being wrecked on bridges partly burned
and thus weakened. Men who would ex-
pose train load of passengers to the hor-
rors of railroad disaster would commit
almost any crime. 1t is doubtful if among
such men there are any Americans They
must be imported cheap latorers who
have no regard for either life or prop
erty. They must be taught to respect
life and property. If they are not it will
not be long before, becoming holder from
their ability to escape detection, they will
lay violent hands upon all kinds of
property.

Just What He Wanted.

He was testy old chap, says the Detroit
Free Press, and when he found there was no
steam heat in the hotel (this happened last
January and it would cost him half a dollar
for fire in his room, he got into a huff and
went OF to bed in the cold. 1t was real cold
too, and the old fellow almost froze before he
could undress. and when he got under the
cover, it wasn't much better. for there WASH +

WIN the Tariff am Ta pelaYed.


Less than a month ago it was freely
/ predicted, that the tariff bill would pass
! the Senate by June 10. A sugar schedule
/ had been agreed upon by the finance COM
/ mittee, and that was the occasion of the
/ prediction. The sugar duty had given the
| finance committee great deal of trouble.
At one time it looked as if it would not be
| possible to reach an agreement in respect
to it that would be acceptable to a
majority of the Senate. The republican
senator's were so sure that the democrats
would never get together on the sugar
duty that they talked confidently of de-
feating the bill.
Therefore, when an agreement was
reached the prediction was made that
the end was near, and that by the middle
Of June the bill would be through the
Senate.
The prediction has failed because the
republicans have persisted, and still per-
sist, in hindering the progress of the bill
in every possible way. They no longer
hope TO defeat the bill and it looks as if
they were delaying it for the purpose
of continuing the hard times as long
as possible in order to influence the con
gressioual elections in favor of the repub-
licans.
1t is now conceded on all
hands that just as soon as the
tariff bill becomes a law there will
be a great improvement in business.
All the great industries and other bust
ness interests are waiting for the settle
ment of the tariff question. The country
is bare of manufactured goods of all
kinds. and the demand for them will be
immense as soon as the new conditions
upon which manufacturing is to be con
Quoted are known. With the starting up
Of the factories new life would be infused
into all kinds of business. There
would be a demand for the money
that is now idle and the ex-
listing business depression would
be thing of the past.
The republicans understand this, and
they know that with the return of goou
times the dissatisfaction with the Demo
cratic party would disappear, and that,
in all probability, the democrats would
again carry the House by an overwhelm-
ing majority.
1t looks, therefore, as if they were de-
laying the tariff bill with the view of
preventing the return of business pros
perity until it would be too late for the
democrats to profit by it. Are the demo-
Gratis in congress going to permit such
tactics to succeed? The democratic sena-
tors would deserve the condemnation of
their party if they should allow them
selves to be outgeneraled in such way.

The failure OF the courts in Monroe county
Pa. TO punish anybody for the lynchtng OF a
negro few weeks ago IS an omtnous sign.
The Judge seems to have been IN earnest tut
the grand jury were in evident sympathy
with the lawbreakers and reported that they
could ma no one who was responsible. The
explanation Is found in the statement of u
local new spaper, while proceedings in court
were pending, that there IS apparently no
FEAR on the part OF the lynchers, and no one
cares to see them punished" II is even sus-
pected that there were lynchers or witnesses

One of the latest and most interesting
pieces of political gossip from South Caro-
lima is the rumor. that ex-Congressmen
George D. Tillman will be a candidate for
governor on an anti-Tillman ticket. The
statement is apparently paradox, but it
is perhaps correct. G. Gorge Tillman is a
brother TO Ben, the governor and the
Moses of the reform movement in
South Carolina, but their political ideas are
altogether of different brands. George is
democrat of the democrats, and has no
sympathy with or for new-fangled politi-
cal notions. And personally George Till
man is as different from his brother as he
is politically. Ben Tillman is not hand
some; he is rather under the size of an
average man, has black hair and sharp
face with a rather sinister expression
George, on the other hand, is a good look
ing man. He is big in body, with ford
complexion, blue eyes, broad brow I'M
der a mass of snow-white hair an open
countenance and general demeanor that
is instantly attractive. He was in con-
gress for ten years, and would have staid
there as long as he lived if he had not
fallen victim to the craze brought about
by his brother. 1t would be nota BILE
circumstance if it should be George Till
man who puts an end to Tillmanism in
South Carolina.

Schemes to connect England with
France by tunnel or bridge across the
channel are perennial. The great amount
of traffic between Dover and Calais and
the difficulty of crossing the channel
under certain conditions of the weather
have given the engineers of the world a
problem of the greatest magnitude for
solution Sir Edward Reed, a wen-llnown
engineer, is the latest person to come for
ward with a scheme to connect the two
countries. He proposes that two large
steel tubes be laid on the bottom of the
channel, each to be for the passage of
of trains in single direction. Ventila-
tion would be secured by the trains them
selves, which would act as immense
pistons, driving the vitiated air before
them and sucking in fresh air behind.
The inconvenience of smoke and dust
would be obviated by the use of electric
ity as a motive power. The sections of the
steel tunnel would be made air-tight, and
then be foated to the spot where they
would be successfully sunk in caissons
aud Joined en- reaching the bottom. When
in place the two tubes would be bound to-
tONA-~- ~ 'eSSA b4A01Ao ~ AhbCL ais. 40
the channel is some 20 feet deep, they
would be no obstruction to navigation.
The cost Sir Edward estimates at S75,-
OuO,OCO, and says the work could be done
In hye years. The scheme, by the way, is
no more enthusiastically received by the
English and French people than were the
gigantic bridge and submarine tunnel
propositions.

Gov. Mckinley, of Ohio, is in an en-
barrassing position. Thousands of miners
in his state are on a strike, and he has
found it necessary to respond to the de-
mand of the nine owners and call out
every military command in his state,
with one exception TO hold strikers in
check. Now, these strikers have votes
Indeed, it is probable that there are
enough of them to constitute a balance of
power in Ohio. Mr.. Mckinley knows
this, and is 10th to do anything to dis
please them he wants their friendship
and votes badly, and at the same time
he wants the support of the mine owners.
He was in an uneasy frame of mind about
the matter last week when a happy idea,
as he thought, struck him. The idea was
to make himself so lid with both the oper-
ators and the strikers; so while he called
out troops to please the one party, he put
a $40 bill in a letter expressing sympathy,
and sent it to the other party. Day be-
fore yesterday he received the strikers
reply. They sent back his So refusing
to touch it as it would contaminate"
them, and wound up their letter with the
sarcastic observation: Your ambition
in political way, so far as the miners
are concerned, is sure to be grati6ed
henceforth.'

A democratic member of the Senate
finance committee is quoted by the Wash

Ledger as saying that when The recon
structed tariff bill is sent to the confer
ence committee, the House democrats will
be told they must take the Senate bill or
be content with no bill at all that the
Senate will not accept any modification of
its conclusions. That covert threat, how

They Are Dead.

Jeanette La Flamboy. in the Outlook
There was man who never told lie
But he dead
Never said it was wet when the weather was
dry
Never said
He'd caught fish when he hadn't caught one.
Never said he d done something that he hadn't
done,
Never scolded his wife, and never got mad,
And wouldn't believe that the world was so
bad
A respector of men, defender of woman,
Who believed the divine and in that which
was human;
Meek as Moses-he never was understood,
And the Toor man died Of being too good.
And he's dead.
There was woman who never had gossiped
bit
She's dead too:
Who hated all scandal nor listened to it,
She believed in mankind, took care of her
cat
Always turned deaf ear to this story or
that
Never scolded her husband-she never had
one;
No sluggard was she, but rose with the sun;
Never whispered in meeting, didn't care for
bonnet,
Or all of the feathers that one could put on
Never sat with the choir, nor sang the wrong
note;
Expressed no desire to lecture or vote:
For the poor soul was deaf as a post-also
dumb:
You might have called forever and she
wouldn't have come.
And she S dead.
