In closing his sermon Sunday
morning at the First Baptist church,
the pastor, Rev. DR.. A w. Lamar,
said there were times ia the history
of congregations, people and coun-
try when they are called upon to
lift up their voices in the right and
in the condemnation of wrong.
Wonder if the mayor of G Galveston
and his friends understood the
utterances Of DR.. Lamar as an at.
tack upon his administration.

Col. has resorted to extreme violence At
the Strong mine they blew up the shaft
house with powder, causing loss Of S2j.-

barracks Of logs and broken rock, supplied
with loophIes and ladders. Considerable
ammunition is stored there, and also q

The gentlemen composing the ticket
are well known throughout the State for
their ability and their integrity. There

turb party harmony their election Is as
surei, and the only remaining work to
be done Is TO swell the majority.
The platform is a reflex Of Republican
sentiment in the State. It is timely. en-
phatic and courageous. In one particu-
lar only Is it open to criticism. The
declaration that we favor the expansion

effort TO cater 10 the Populists, and re.
minds Us Of the $40 and a mule" with
which it was alleged our colored friends
in the South were captured. Il should
have no place among the deliyeranoes OF
the Republicans Of this great Common

present platform because II was, for some
unknown reason, injected into the last
one. The declaration Of the Republican

JUDGE Butler, says the Philadelphia
Le8gs-, yesterday refused to naturalize a

man who asked to be made citizen held
political views inimical 10 the Govern

things, that before an alien is naturalized
itshell appear 10 the satisfaction Of tie
Court that be has behaved as a man Of
good moral character, attached to the
Constitution Of the United States, and
well disposed to the good order and hap
piness Of the same. a Socialist IS not at
tached TO the Constitution Of the Ucited
States; on the contrary, he desires TO
oyerlurn it. When an alien comes here
and asks to be made q citizen, We want
him TO accept the Government as it Is,
not TO start out with the idea Of chang
ing our Government to suit his peculiar
ideas. Judge Butler did the right thing,
and followed the spirit and letter Of the
law when he excluded an ayowed Social
ist from citizenship.

Twins to go to Prison.

Charles Davis was sentenced last month,

Peading his removal he was cOnfined in the

fortunate of the name Of Davis received a
jail sentence OF 30 days, and the two we're

the other Davis was his brother aud was the
one who had been sentenced for three years.
Sheriff Drexel then brought down the
remaining prisoner, who admitted that the
other man was his brother, bl. denied the
remainder of the story. The officer ad-
mitted his inability to identify the men, and
both are at the penitentiary. Warden

Governor for registration, which will have

TIE bill for the repeal Of the ten per

ing debated in the House, and it looks SIS
if this pernicious provision for the issu-
ing of wildcat" money will pass that
body, and eventually the Senate, and
with the approval Of the President, be-
come a law. The party whip, the neces-
sity of showing some little consistency,
and reluctance on the part Of some of the
leaders to totally abandon all the party
policy announced in the Chicago plat
form are the controlling motives Hay-
ing drifted away from a tariff for reve-
nue. only and totally ignored the doc
trine Of free raw material" except in
the matter Of wool, the only plank in
the platform left is the declaration in
favor Of repeating the tax which pre-
vents the issue Of a flood of practically
worthless bank notes by State banking
institutions.

sage Of this bill and the Consequent evils
that must follow in its wake.

A Riot in Church.


HAzELToS, Pa, May 27.-St. Casimer's
Polish Catholic church at Freeland was to-
day a scene of bloody riot, in which two
men were fatally shot, two others seriously,
and a score more sustained serious wounds
by being hit with clubs and other missiles.
Their names are Victor TOmski, shot through
the head, fatal Peter Yasmoski, shot in the
abdomen, cannot live; Josep Dutch, shot in
abdomen; james Trayinki. shot in leg;
Chief of Police James Gallagher, head crush
ed with club; Officer Jones, nose broken and
face lacerated, hit with stone: Constable
Theo. Punday, head crushed with club. OF
the score OF Others who fled or were carried
from the scene by friends the names could
not be obtained.
The trouble has existed for some time be
tween the Lithuanians and Poles, vino com
pose the congregation. The Poles objected
to Father Mazz )tas, the pastor, saying mass
there to-day. He approached the sacristy
Under police protection bat himself and the
officers were elected from the edifce. The
entire police force was then rallied and a
second attempt to enter made, when a stone
hurled from she crowd striking Officer Jones
| in the face was the signal for an attack and
pandemonium ensued. Guns were used
with terrible effect and clubs aud stones
played an important part in the conflict.
Burgess Mclaughlin succeeded in rescu-
/ ing Father Mszzotas from the enraged Poles
/ but bis men could do nothing 20 quell the
rioters, and to protect themselves were OBJ
liged to fire into the beliigerants. The firing
created the widest excitement in the town,
and women and children ran wildly scream
/ ing from the scene. Only by the cOolness
of Father Mazzotas who eounseied his fol
lowers for peace, was return fire from the
Lithuanians prevented. The officers were
50 badly demoralized that only four mei
were arrested, and these are now in custody

coxey's Army a Nuisance.

WASHINGTON, May 25.--While Coxey,
Browne and Christopher Columbus Jones,
the three Coxeyite leaders sentenced to -
days in the District Jail, are getting two
rough fare meals day and are amusing
themselves writing manifestos and other
documents with formidable names and
meaning, the 300 or 800 Of the rank and file
of the army have been pretty close to the
starvation point. There are desertiOns every
day on account of the meager rations. The
majority, however, are either too lazy 10
move or expect Coxey to really accomplish
something.
For three days, ending yesterday after
noon, this band subsisted on dry bread ard
spring water entirely. Yesterday load of
provisions was semitic them by charitably
disposed citizens of Washington, but that is
all gone. and the army is back to the bread
alone diet. The condition Of the camp is re-
pulsively dirty the members of the army
are themselves filthy and polluted with YER
MN, and the whole outfit has become a nui-
sance and plague spot on the fair soil OF
Maryland. There is a remarkable diminu-
ton OF sympathy for the thriftless and dirty
customers, and the indications are tina, be-
fore the leaders have served their time in jail
the army will have become a reminiscense.
