IT looks as though the Administration
at Washington has sold itself to the Sugar
Trust and Is preparing to turn the people
Of the whole country over to the tender
mercies of that rapacious corporation.
The leading Republican papers have lately
contained long detailed statements OF
an alleged bargain between the leaders
of the Democratic party and abe managers
of the Trust. The substance of the
charge is that the Sugar Trust contributed
half million dollars to the Democratic
National Committee at q critical period
in the last Presidential campaign with
the understanding that the interests Of the
sugar magnates were to be carefully look
ed after in the event of Democratic success.
It is charged that in pursuance of this
bargain kr. CIevelsnd's ''policy of infamy"
was inaugurated to defeat the annexation
of Hawaii for the benefit of q leading men,
Der of the Trust, Mr.. Claus Spreckles. 1t
is further charged that the recent aston
ishing am endment Of the sugar schedule
Of the Tariff bill in the Senate is simply
another and more important fruit of the
bargain made with the Trust in 1892
1t Is even alleged that this important
change in the bill was made in pursuance
of an appeal made to the Committee by
Secretary Carlisle as the personal repre-
sentative of the President. 1t is also
charged that in return for these favors to
the Trust the latter offered to advance
and did advance the price Of sugar stock
thirty-foCr points within month to enable
serviceable Senators to line their individ-
nal pockets with handsome profits.

The Strikes.

The pent-up spirits of the miners on the
Toledo q Ohio Central railroad were vent
ed on w cdnesday and they took posses
sion of the trains at Glouster. Sheriff Riley
asked for troops A mob were capturing
trains at the pistol point and had 1000
pounds of nitro glycerine. Col. Curry
ordered several companies to assemble at
once at Moxahala and move to Glouster.
This was being done when the railroad
company gave in to the strikers.
Co. A, 18th Reg Ohio N. g., % in num-
Der, were on their way when countermand-
ing orders were issued, and could not be
stopped. The strikers siezed their tents
and cooking utensils at Glouster, but did
no violence to them.
Troops were called out in Iowa on We'd
nesday.
Wednesday Gov. Pattison issued proc
laimation calling on the strikers and others
to maintain peace. If not, he says be will
call out the militia. This proclamation is
regarded as preiunctory act.
The governor OF Illinois issued similar
proclamation the same day.
The miners accuse Pattisun Of being in.
fuenctd by self-interest in his treatment
of the strikers. He is said to own stock In
Clearfeld county coal mines.

The Riots in Colorado.

Eleven men killed, with strong pro-
bability that the number of dead would be
increased when all was known, was the re-
cord Of the first day of trouble, at Cripple
Greek, Col. although real fighting had not
yet begun, as the deputies were waiting
reinforcements before beginning active
operations. At 10 o'clock Friday morn
ing eleven men started to work in the
Strong mine on Battle mountain. Shortly
afterwards large party of strikers blew
up the shaft house with powder, causing
q loss of 1000, and then dropped 100
pounds of giant powder down the shaft,
which was also exploded, killing all the
inmates. Not more than 300 yards from
the Strong shaft house sixteen men, who
had engaged to 60 to work in the lnde-
pendence mine, were surrounded in their
bunk house and after a long parley agreed
to surrender Each one was armed with q
rifle ard brace of revolvers. The arms
are now in possession of the strikers.

REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET.
The Republican Ticket

The ticket which the Republicans OF
Pennsylvania are called upon to elect IS
now before them. The work Of the COM
yention has been well done, and it viii
be ratified at the polls by an overwhelm-
ing majority. Since the advent OF Pat
tison there has been but one candidate
for Governor, and the unsn nifty with
which Hastings has been nominated
speaks well for the unanimity Of the
Republican party. 1t means an uprising
Of the people against Democratic policies,
thsories and methods.
Hastings comes from the very centre
of the State, geographical location that
seems to be peculiarly situated for the
making of Governors. Lyon, his running
mate on the ticket, lives in the south
western end of TIE Commonwealth, the
portion which, next to Philadelphia,
aives the largest Republican malorities:
James W. Latta. The county of Lancas-
ter. another stronghold OF Republicanism,
furnishes Nylin. Srsquehanna, In the
northern tier, is the home of Congressman
Grow, who swept the State SO grandly at
the special election of February, while
Huff, the secoud candidate on the ticket
for Congressman-at-large,h halls from West
moreland county. 1t is, Of course not
important that geographical boundaries
should be consulted in the nomination OF
a State ticket, but in this instance sections
are very well represented
The outcome of the convention will
carry no scars that cannot be readily heal
ed. Price was never q promising candl-
date against Mylin, although he had warm
friends from up around Lake Erie. Lucius
Rogers, of Mexican county, made no head
way for Secretary of internal Affairs, and
it was SO generally conceded that Phila-
delphia ought to have some recognition
that the precipitation of Latta into the
field some weeks ago brought instant in
dorsement. 1t was not, perhaps, just the
thing to side-track Congressman Mcdowell
but it was done and no i'll effects will fol-
low. The Robinson contest for Lieuten-
ant-Goyernor was animated, but the hight
ing Congressman is, above all, believer
in party organization. and he will not be
found lacking when Delaware county is
heard from at the polls. He made a gal
liant battle and he has shown that 1t Will
not be safe to ignore him in the future.
The Democrats have found no candi-
dates as yet to pit against those named
yesterday. Democracy is at low ebb
this year. Defeat is 40 apparent even to
the most sanguine Democrat that nomin-
ations go a-begging. 1t will make very
little difference what is done at the Demo-
cratic Convention of next month. Free
trade theories and silver heresies cannot
triumph in Pennsylvania. The Repubii-
can party of this Commonwealth is for pro-
lection to American industries and for
honest money, and with such candidates
and such principles the majority for Hast
ings and the whole ticket ought to mount
upwards to tie 200, COO mark.-Inquirer.

FUNERAL OF REV. E. SMITH.
The funeral services of Rev. Enoch
Smith on Friday last in the English Lu-
theran Church were OF the most Impressive
character. Twenty-one ministers of the
church came to participate in them
These brother ministers became his pail
bearers, going from the church in body
tn the residence of the deceased and con-
veying his dead body to the church. Rev
James Q. Waters, president of this Synod
of the church, conducted the ceremonies
and opened them with remarks very ap-
propriate to the sad occasion. Then the
venerable Rev. DR.. VIM. A. Passavant
spoke in an eloquent and feeling address.
he was followed by Prot Rev. G.. A
Bruegel, of Thiel College, in a touching
tribute to the memory of his old friend.
Rev. Cronenwett of this place, also an old
friend, paid just tribute to his character
and labors. The church service was read
by Rev. Yount, of Greensburg and prayer
made by Rev. J. L. Smith, Of East End,
Pittsburg. Rev Henry K. Shanor was in
charge and conducted the details OF the
ceremonies at the church. At the grave
the last rites were performed by Rev.
Waters, Rev. Peschaw, of Greensburg
and Rev. Melhorn, of Freeport who pro-
nounced the benediotion.
The assemblage at the church was very
large, nearly all the local ministers of the
other churches here were present, together
with many OF our citizens. And thus end
ed the burial. in the English Lutheran
Cemetery, of Rev. Enoch Smith, an occa-
sion long to be remembered by our people.

Rioting near Uniontown.

At the works of the Washington Coal
Co., at Sickle Hollow, last Thursday, o
large number of miners, who attempted to
prevent others from working were fred in
to by deputy sheriffs, and four were killed
and several wounded.
Early Monday morning there was troub-
le at the Kyle plant of the Frick company,
and dozen shots were fred but nobody
seriously hurt.
The strikers had planned to raid Kyle,
and 200 additional strikers marched to the
camp grounds there at daylight, but owing
to the steady, pouring rain the attack was
abandoned until next day, when the strik-
ers said they will force the men to quit or
there will be bloodshed. Many OF the
strikers were armed with guns. There
were already 800 strikers there and they
seemed determined and hostile. There
were 20 deputies on duty at Kyle, but the
number could be doubled at an hours mo-
tice. The company officials said that the
strikers were to be shot down If they came
on the company grounds. Other delega-
tions were to march to Kyle early next
morning to join in the attack.
