Ihe meeting Of the citizens and
business men of Butler Monday
evening to consult with the city coun
Gil relative to the best method to be
pursued to raise sufficient money to
meet the citys obligations, was well
attended aud the different aspects
of the situation were intelligently
discussed. All the speakers, save
one. advocated the city meeting its
obligations, the only question was as
to the best method, since the su
preme court decided that no more
than so cents can be levied The
one exception was repudiationist,

while lawyer, politician, editor, labor

was half over. The people of this
city will pay every dollars indebted
ness they contract, and gentlemen
who have their capital invested in

ness on that score. Our people are
honest. honorable, fair-minded and
just, and they are not looking for
technicalities to escape the obliga.

THE PRESIDENTS POWER.

Indianapolis, July 10.-Ex presi
dent Benjamin Harrison, having
been quoted rs saying that president
Cleveland has established new pre-
cedent in sending federal troops into
a state without the request from the
government of that state and over
his protest said to day; II have
neither said what l am quoted as
saying as to the use of the United
States troops by the president, nor
do l think that the president has
transcribed his power. On the 9th
er hand I believe there is no
spot in the United States where the
United States troops may not 60
under such orders without asking
anybody's consent and that an en-.
forcement of the laws of the United
States is the sworn duty of the Pres
ident and the army An appropriate
instrument to use in the enforcement
Of those laws where they are vio-
lently resisted and the civil officers
are unable to deal with the situation.
IF the posse comitstus law limits the
Presidents constitutional power at
all-which is very doubtful-it only
requires the proclamation to procede
the use of the troops.

Lamar Democrat.-Don't abuse
the governor. He is close to the
masses of the people. He will have
a hand in the next presidential cleo,
ton.
The Democrat is exactly right.
Governor Stone has made this state
a model officer and his administra
ton will compare favorably with
that of his predecessors, and it
should be beneath the dignity of q
democratic journal for personal spite
and revenge to take advantage Of
every opportunity to discredit the
sincerity of the governors motives
when duty calls him to exercise the
authority vested in him by law. The
state of Missouri is all right and sc

LIGHT SHOWING THROUGH.

The great railroad strike seemed
to have about run it's course We'd
nesday, but few roads were complete
ly blockaded, and On nearly all roads
in the country traffic was being
moved. President Sovereign issued
an order for all Knights of Labor to
strike in sympathy. This will have
the effect of continuing the trouble
few days longer and throw large
number Of laboring men out of en-
ployment who are now making good
wages and are contented. These
people will see the folly of their &C.
tions when the bread is taken from
the mouths of their wives and little
ones. Sympathy will not buy the
sustenances of life. It has been
clearly demonstrated that President
Cleveland means to quell all insur-
rections and mobs promptly. The
government is safe in such hands.

Fridays Kansas City Star says, one
wholesale grocery firm in that city
was flooded with orders which they
were unable to fill on account of the
strike. The ordinary business Of
the firm is five cars per day, but
since the strike began they have
orders enough accumulated to fill
one hundred cars. The firm has
called in their drummers to await
the outcome of the blockade. This
is a sample of the depressed condi.
ton of the country caused by this
senseless strike.

RlOTING COAL MINERS.
Spring Valley, H.. PilIaged BY n Mob
Of 1000 Strikers,

Spring Valley, ILL.,. July Two
stores We're thoroughly looted here
to day and dozen others compelled
to give up part of their merchandise
to mob of 1000 striking coal mia
ers. The depredations of the mob
commenced to day at noon, at which
time the meat market of S Mr.. Hor.
ner was taken possession of and
thoroughly gutted, Not only the
fresh meat, but the lard, hams and
everything pertaining to the shop.
including the butchers tools, were
carried away. No resistance was
made by the proprietor, as that was
considered as being not only useless,
but endangering the destruction of
the entire building. The mob was
made up wholly of non English.
speaking men. the leaders being
Lithunanians, Belgians. Poles and
Italians.
When the supply of plunder at
Horner's gave out, the strikers or
ganized themselves into band of
about 1000 and marching along the
streets compelled the following firms
to turn over liberal supplies of their
goods: George Sitter. Harry Paris
and Peter Dow l. Son. A raid was
then made on the saloons, and each
one visited was compelled to con-
tribute good sized keg of beer By
3 o'clock six kegs had been gathered
and were opened up on the street
corners and made free to all comers.
A mob of about 200 men shattered
the doors of the cold storage ware
house of Chenning & Co and carried
off seven kegs of beer. This was
added to the supply on the streets,
and to night beer ran free.
Shortly before 6 o'clock the mob
gathered in front of the meat mark ct
of James B. Nelson, member of
the County Board of Supervisors.
Although the store had been locked
up for two hours preceding, it was
thrown open, and the contents IN
less than an hours time were carried
| Off by the mob. At the stores loot
ed today less than a dozen words
were spoken, and SO far as the min
ers were concerned everything was
done in apparent good humor. The
plundering of the business houses
was commenced late last night
when the heavy plate glass windows
of the Spring Valley Coal Company
were shattered by stones and also
the entire contents, including two
car loads Of -four and stock of dry
goods, clothing. groceries and boots
and shoes, carried of. The com.
pany today places the loss of tbei,
stock at S16,0 The losses of the
other stores so far will aggregate
$4,000.
