WILL De RESISTED.

What Ohio and Pennsylvania StrEo-s May
lixpoct IL TIiuy Invade tho fnirmont Re-
Glon.
In regard to the proposed Invasion OF
the Fairmont COIL region by Ohio and
Pennsylvania strikers to induce the
miners thero to quit WORK, tho Fair
mont Lp1er has the following comments.
which indicate that such m invasion
would be forcibly resisted by the clti-
zens: .....-
Each day shows tho wisdom OF our
men in remaining at work during this
strike. For somo time the miners have
joined with tho operators in both Ohio
and Pennsylvania and made common
eight against this region, and Whenever
work has boon good in Ohio and Penn-
sylVania it has been slack hero, and
when VIC were prospering it was dull
ovor thero. II our mines had been
closed 1t would not In tho least degree
have aided tho strikers In enforcing
their demand, but such n course would
have paralyzed tho business Of this en-
tirn section and brought many OF our
miners and thei. families to tho very
easily avorted by our miners pursuing
tho wise course OF remaining at work
aud letting our common enemies settle
their own differences in their own way.
At this time our miners arc prosperous
and contentcd. They arc making as
much, il not more, money than they
have for years, and all they dcsire Is to
bo lot alone and to be givon plenty OF
work. Everything Is quiet here, and
work is abundant at living wages. But
there is report that q largo number OF
idlo miners are coming to this valley
from Ohio and Pennsylvania to "lnduco
BY moral persuasion the miners OF this
field to Join tho army Of strikers" We
Lopo this is not true. The coming OF
those mon will bring trouble. They do
not come in numbers to induce our mon
by moral persuasion to join the strikors:
II that was tho object very few could
accomplish the sGinc purpose. The
coming OF large number is intended to
intimidatc. So long rs our minors
arc satisfied the law abiding citizens
OF this state will not see thom forced
against their will to quit work. Such Il
mob would be met by determined set
OF law loving citizens md by the state
mili.ia, il tho civil power is not sufficient
to preserve peace. and il the s.a.c forces
arc not able to preserve order Uncle
Sam will step in and see tha. tho law ia
enforced. We do not think they are
coming, but if they do. they will not be
able to accomplish anything. A delay
of iew days will be oil that they can
do. So long as our miners desire to
work they will bo protected in 80 doing,
and our would-bo visitors and advisers
NAV as we'll learn that now as later.

Representative Duuphy stated tha. his
information came from documents sont
to tho departments from official papers

Indian Hoad proving ground and had
been found defective. II had been re-
treated 80 ns to overcome the defects.

asked Chairman Cummings.
Mr.. Dunphy answered in tho affirm
ativc. Hcsaid that ono plate was picked
out as q sample OF larger number OF
plates amounting to 3iS tons. Whom
this secret retreatment had been made
it served to pass tho sample plate and
that in turn passed tho entire SiS tons
OF armor.
Mr.. Dunphy then spoke Of blow holes
In the armor OF the monitor Terror.
Experts had gone to the navy yard and
actually had located two blow holes
which had boon filled up TO deceive tho
government. The first charges covered
700 defective plates. In some casos
pebbles had been dropped into blow
holes. In othera q calling card had
been dropped in. This was dono by
the workmen as means Of detecting
the blow holes.
Recent charges covered not only
armor plates, but tho bolts and scrcws
securing tho plates.
In conclusion Mr.. DUMMY said: MY
information is that the dofoctive plates
will be found on tho Oregon. tho
Machias, the Castiuc, the Monadnock,
the Cincinnati, the Terror, tho Now
York and the Monterey. mud that the
exact position of the plates on each OF
these vessels Gun be located by the par
ties who made tho complaint and whose
names tho committee will be able to OBJ
tain from tho evidence on flo in the
office OF the secretary Of the navy"
Ho added that tho objective platea
located BY the government experts had
been estimated 10 be worth 500, 900 to

THE PENALTY OF REWARDS.

What has undermined the efficiency
of the police powers? That is {. question
that is being asked from Boston to San
Francisco every day. The police of the
cities do not do their work as 1t should
be done, and as it has been done. The
successful escapes of criminals are be-
coming no longer the exceptions.
To the citizen who observes such
things closely this important fact must
have presented itself. When the rich
man is robbed, the man who has VIC
timized him is almost invariably caught,
not through the efforts of private de-
tective agency always. but by the CO.
operation of the police authorities of
several different cities. The miscreant
who harms big corporation might as
well give up the hope of escaping arrest.
Why? Because there has grown up a
peruicious system of rewards. Without
this extra stimulus the police will not
exert themselves as much as is necessary
for the public good and they will not Sc
cure the cooperation of the police force
of other cities.
The man who first sought TO con-
centrate the police vigilence by Offering
a reward did this country irreparable
injury. 1t is no longer considered suf-
ficient that a crime has been committed,
but a stipend must be offered ia ad-
dition to have the search carried on
vigorously.
1t is on account OF this fault in the
metropolitan police that has fostered the
Pinkerton agency. Big firms or corpor-
ations knowing that money must be
spent, go 10 the private concerns at
once, where they can get plain bus
mess proposition. The startling declara-
ton has been made that over half the
important arrests made in New York
and Chicago, are made at the direction
of the detective agencies.
This work should be done by the
police-the police who are supported by
the public, and without rewards of any
kind. At present the people are suffer-
ing the penalty of the reward. The
police officer is hired 10 preserve the
peace. If that is broken, ne has been
derelict, and it is his duty to remedy the
matter by capturing the man vino has
broken the law at once. without expect
ing that he shall be paid extra for his
own shortcoming.
