Rioting Must Cease,

In response to letter from Sheriff Viii
helm, of Fayette county, Governor Pattison
has issued proclamation which reads as
follows:
Whereas, 1t has been represented to me
by the proper authorities of FAyette comfy
that riotous demonstrations exist in various
sections of said county, whereby the lives
and property and the peace and safety oi
the people are threatened, which the civil
authorities are unable to suppress; and
whereas, the constitution and laws of this
Commonwealth authorize the Governor,
whenever in his judgment the same may be
necessary, to employ the militia to suppress
domestic violence, and preserve the peace
nov, therefore, /, Robert f. Pattison, Gov.
ernor Of said Commonwealth, DO hereby ad.
monish all good citizens and all persons
within the territory and under the jurisdic-
ti0n Of the Commonwealth, against aiding
or abetting such unlawful proceedings, and
| do hereby command all persons engaged
in the said riotous demonstrations to forth
with disperse and return peaceably TO theil
respective places of abode, warning them
that persistence in violence will compel
resort to such military force as may be nee
essary to enforce obedience TO the laws

CLOSED FOR LACK OF FUEL.

From the Chicsg0 Inter Ocean.
A great many factories have closed
since Grover Cleveland was elected Pres
ident of the United States. the reason
being a lack Of orders. Manufacturers
do not pile up large stocks Of goods trust
ing to luck to be able to sell them at
profit. II sales fall of production must
also. Millions Of laborers have been
thrown out Of employment during this
administration as the result Of the de-
cline if not absolute stoppage Of demand.
And now comes new cause Of enforced
idleness. The industrial establishments
OF the country are beginning to expert
ence a difficulty hitherto unheard Of
The locked doors of workshops are now
commencing to bear this inscription ;
CLOSED for Lack of Fuel"
The novel and distressing spectacle is
presented Of one class Of labor conspir-
ing to take the bread out Of the mouths
Of another class. A few miners who as
a class were enjoying special immunity
from the hard times have undertaken,
by resort to crime, to produce a general
coal famine. As yet the effect Of this
conspiracy has not been generally per
ceptible in the domestic needs Of fuel,
although no doubt the hardship in this
regard has been severe in many house
holds. The poor man in coal, as in food,
lives from hand TO mouth, AS the phrase
is, buying his coal in small quantities,
partly because he has not the money 10
10 otherwise, and in large cities partly
because he lacks storage room. This
form Of distress has not become sufficient
ly stringent and general to appear on the
surface. Fortunately the summer is at
hand, this being the last day Of spring,
and if need be cooking can be greatly
simpliied. But fuel for degeneration Of
power used in running machinery is un-
affected by the seasons. The thermome-
ter cuts no figure in the case. If this con
spiracy, for it is not strike in the ordi-
nary sense of the term, is not broken up
soon the calamity will be Absolutely ap-
palling.
Upon the face Of things it would ap-
pear that industrial America is a house
divided against itself, and that the work
ingman Of this country might well say
Mine enemies are they Of nine own
household" But as a matter Of fact the
perpetrators Of these crimes are a few
aliens who have been brought over here
from the very scum of Slavonic Europe in
violation Of the spirit, if not the letter,
Of the law against importing labor. They
are IN every sense aliens, and abhorrent
in their methods to the instincts of our
people. The great bulk of our foreign
born population has come from Irelan d
Germany, and the Scandinavian count
ries Of the North. These open perpetra-
tors Of crime come iEOm doEntrodden

Lost In Roaring Floods.

Immense damage has been done by floods
in the West and Northwest. In British
Columbia the Frazer River Valley has been
devastated for hundred miles. Over 2O0O
families are homeless, and 50 600 900 will not
cover the property loss.
A cloudburst has wiped out the town OF
Conconnully, Wash. The inhabitants were
fortunately warned ofthe danger and escap-
ed to high ground.
Probably 40 miles of Union Pacific Rail
road tracks in Oregon have been washed out
by the raging Columbia.
Two foods on successive days have done
at least halfa million dollars worth of dam
agein and around Pueblo, Col. Several
hundred homeless are being cared for by the
city.
The railroad service of the State has been
badly crippled by great washouts, one being
80 miles long.
Denver and vicinity have suffered severe
ly from the overflow OF the raging Platte.
Many other Colorado towns are heavy losers
by the high water.

lis Tnroat 90 by a RandIt.

HAzLEToS, Pa, May 3I.-James McNelis
was attacked by an Italian bandit at the
door of his home at Pleasant Hill last night
and his throat was cut from ear to ear. The
assault was one Of the most daring and ont
rageous ever committed in this vicinity and
created intense excitement. The Italian,
who is known as Curley, came down Baline
street, accompanied By a eountryman. Ne
NeIis had just stepped from the porch Of his
house to speak to a neighbor as the Iial-
ians approached. While oonFeTsing, Curley
dashed between the men, at the same time
firing his revolver. The action was 50 quick
and unexpected the neighbors had not re-
covered their establishment when the Ital-
ian sprang at McNelis with stilettO, cut
ting his throat. the cries Of the wounded
man and noise made by the firing G..-sc.ed
an excited crowd. and to save themselves
the bandit and his companion fed. The
motive of the crime was robbery. McHelis
will recover.

A Cruel Practical Joke.

WmKEsBARRE, Pa, June "A cruel prac-
teal joke was played upon the family of
James S. Anderson, of this city. The wife
received telegram yesterday that her hus-
baRd had been killed in a viaduct in Cincin-
natl. The family was thrown in the deep
est grief and Grape was hung on ths door.
This morning Mr.. Anderson arrived from
the West, and finding Grape on his own door
inquired with anxiety of his neighbors
whether his wife or one of his children was
dead. The telegram was explained and he
Immediately opened the door and confront
ed his wife so osuddenly that she swo)ned.
Mr.. Anderson says he must be the victim
ofa practical j1ke, as the telegram was sign
ed By one Of his Western friends, and stated
that the body was on the way East.

Crossing the Atlantic

Usually involves sea sickness. When the
waves play pitch and toss with you, .strOng
indeed must be the stomach that can stand
it without revolving. Tourists, commercial
travellers, yachtsmen, mariners, all testify
that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is the best
remedy for the nausea experienced in rough
weather on the water. Nervous and weekly
travellers by land often suffer from something
akin to this, and find in the bitters its sur
est remedy. No disorder Of the stomach
liver or bowels is so obstinate that 1t may
not be overcome by this prompt and thor
ough re-hedy. Equa ly etiicacious is it fol-
chiils and fever, kidney and rheumatic
trouble and nervousness. Emigrants to the
frontier should provide themselves with this
fine medicinal safeguard against the effects
o. vicissitudes Of climate, hardship, expos
ure and fatigue.

Tho mas B. Reed on silver.

WASHINGTON, June S.-The article in the
"Fortnightly Review" of London by Thomas
B. Reed on the silver question is attracting
much attention. Hesuggests that an agree
ment be made among the nations to use sill
yer, and that discriminating tariff be made
against those nations which refuse TO use
the metal for money. Among other things
be said
cone thing at least have learned since
the occasion OF silver purchased last year
that cheap silver is an effective stimulus to
Asiatic exports and this being the case, We
have got TO consider silver and the tariff not
as two issues, but as one. II is evidently no
time 70 lower our tariffs when the currency
Ofseveral hundred millions of 0rientals is
depreciating. and their exporting powers TO
go.d-using nations is thereby increasing
The fall IN silver, its value 10 pay wages and
TO buy products in India and China being
as great as ever-this il is that makes the
silver question an issue that we are forced to
face"
This is taken as meaning the keynote Of
the next Republican campaign. Silver coin
age will be an issue.

The Denver and Rio Grande track, between

its channel in two places. In places only
the rails were left swinging across great gaps
aud near Eden the double track has entirely
disappeared for long stretch.
All the bridges for miles around Boulder
were carried of by the fearful flood that

Copper Rock and Salina are uninhabited to-
night, and the buildings generally buried in

At Crisman the entire town was swept
away. Copper Rock is ali gone. Sugar

CONFUSION An around.


CoLuNBus, o., June 5 Another week has
passed and a settlement appears to be as far
away as ever. In Maryland the operators
had W. B. Wilson and Others taken into
court. Wilson Was acquitted, but his COM
panions had 10 pay costs because they spoke
to man upon the highway. The object of
the suit is apparently to intimidate the men
from speaking to those a; work
In Western Pennsylvania the operators
have placed the settlement of affairs into
the hands of a committee Of 10, with full
power to settle.
The most notable event in Ohio is the
rzpidity with which the railroad men are
joining the American Railroad Union and
the practical sympathy shown by the men,
bers of that organization In refusing TO haul
scab coal. This led to the fissco at GlOusier
and has caused the Wheeling and Lake Erie
railroad to refuse to receive any more coal
from the Fairmont region, of West Virginia,
Kentucky and Tennessee remain in the
same position as last week, with the excep-
ton that Coal Creek miners have again sus
pended.
In Indiana the miners held up coal train
at Clinton, but on receipt of letter from
President Mcbride, the train was allowed to
proceed and the miners returned to their
homes. Sensational reports appear in the
press from Washington, lid, but until we
receive news from the miners themselves We
are inclined to believe these reports exAgger-
ated.
The most important event of the week
was the attempt to bring the conflicting in
terests in illinois together so as to make 1t
possible to effect settlement. AT one time
it looked as if this would be effected, and
President Mcbride remained three days in
Illinois working towards that end. The re
suit was failure, and the national officers
were confronted with the fact that the oper-
ators in the East, while willing to settle,
would not settle with them because they
were so far West, and the operators of llli-
uOis would not meet them because they were
so far East, while at both places the opera
tors expressed themselves as eager 10 end
the present difficulty.
Realizing the embarrassed position they
we're placed in, and that under such condi-
tons no settlement could be effected, and not
having power to make any change in the
policy mapped out by the Cleveland con-
vention, President Mcbride issued call to
the presidents of the several districts, tOgeth-
er with the National Executive Board to
meet in this city on Tuesla next for the
purpose of laying the exact condition Of
things before them, so as to adopt some rea-
sJnable method by which the suspension
can be brought 10 speedy and successful
termination.

Hungary or despotic Russia. To them
liberty IS a kind of intoxication. They
represent the jimjams of centuries Of tyr
amy, thrown of by the magic Of immi-
grafton. It would be cruelty unjust to
both the laboring class as whole and
our foreign-born citizens to see in these
rabid coal miners the representatives of
anybody except themselves.
There is only one way, apparently, to
teach these malefactors TO respect the
laws Of the land and the rights of 9TH

ton of the penalties Of their crime The
Language Of punishment is a vernacular
common TO all rational human beings,
and the voice OF the law can thus be
