SHORT STOPS.
What the People are Saying.
fBY Jas. P. NEwcoMB.l

Congressman Tom Paschal has
written a letterto his constituents
through the columns Of the Ex-
press which will prove a very Bit
ter pill for his friends to swallow.
Mr.. Paschal attempts to justify
his course as being thoroughly con-
sistent with the platform and prin-
ciples OF the Democratic party, and
that while he voted against the in
terests of his district it was for the
good of the Democratic party.
San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1894-09-03

Nj. Paschal wants his friends to
understand that his party patriot
ism rose above the sordid constitu-
ents. That he willingly sacrificed
the wool and cattle interests Of his
section for the good of the National
Democratic party.
San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1894-09-03

Taken altogether Congressman
Paschal's letter is not a very cheer
full document for the Democrats of
this district to digest.

No consistent Democrat, who en-
dorses President Cleveland or
stands by the Democratic plat
form, can vote for Gus Houston.
He is either a masquerading free
trader or a masquerading prohibit
ZIONIST.
San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1894-09-03

He winds up by telling his
friends that even If his successful
opponent, Gus, entertains views
different from his, Paschal's view,
it won't stop the Democratic party
from going right on with its free
trade work.

will prefer to take their Republi-
canism straight by voting for
Judge NOonan.
San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1894-09-03

Mr.. Paschal rises to the situation
when he comes to speak of the con-
vention that threw him aside for
Gus Houston. He says: "a cOnven-
ton, the majority of which
could indorse the administration
upon it's chief latest measure
and yet deny its endorse ment to a
member who had been heartily in
accord with that administration
and IN line with the platform and
policies Of the party, eviucing so
clearly that either its personal
animus dominated its of
fealty to the Democratic party,
or else that it was insincere in its
protested endorsement and had no
sympathy with the pledges and
tendencies of the party on this
great subject, renders the reflec-
tion of my defeat at its hands, to
say the least, not a matter of deep
regret"
San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1894-09-03

Every fair minded man will agree
with Mr.. Paschal thus far, but when
he follows this rebuke to the con-
vention which he thinks it would
have been no credit to have
received it's endorsement, by
stating that he would "loyally
support the nominee" we can't
help but think it was about time
that Tom came home he ought to
have hit back like a man and told
them that he had no use for such a
convention or its nominee.
San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1894-09-03

Or rather to express it in plain
common words, Mr.. Paschal tells
them that a convention that en-
dorses Cleveland and the Demo-
cratic platform and turns round
and dominates Gus. Houston as a
protectionist over him after his
loyalty to Cleveland and the plat
form is a contemplate affair.

Mine Strikers Becoming Less warliks.
MCKERsPoRT, Pa, June mo attempt
has been made TO start up the National
Tube works. The strikers are swarming
around the works and the depots. Every
point is being watched by them, and
trouble will sur ely follow any attempt to
introduce new workmen or deputies.
Some one came among the strikers
congregated about the tube works and
announced that some tube workers were
working at the slack piles across the river.
A mad rush was made by 700 or 800 men
TO put stop to it. When they reached
the tipple Of John Davitt It came down
before the onslaught within a few min
utes. From there the crowd made break
for a new tipnle being erected by John
Mcintyre, about a mile above. The DC
Intyre tipple shared the same fate as the
Davitt.
Three barges Of coal were cut loose at
McIntyre's mine and floated down the
river. Six cars Of slack were burned
while in the Pittsburg and Lake Erie
yards because the strikers thought Jney
were intended for the tube works. Then
the crowd crossed the bridge to Rhodes
Station and fired Junker Brothers chute
and platform.
A striker named Lauterbach, who was
injured on Tuesday, died at the hospital
last night.
After the destruction of these works the
mob started for Duquesne When ii
reached that place it had increased to
| 5000 strikers and sympathizers. With
yells they attacked the Duquesne Tube
works, drove all the men at work out OF
the plant, drew the fires and ran the hot
metal from the furnaces ont on the floors
The reason the strikers give for their ac
! tions was that the works were using BLACK
sheep coal The assault was witnessed by
thousands of spectators thronging thu
SUBMITS of surrounding hills.
As the strikers left the mill one Of thu
men threw plank in front of an ap
preaching freight train, nearly derailinl
| It. They left the mill on a run and started
back over the hills to attack the coal pit
in Mifflin township.

ers, with a revolver in each hand, cried

on the mine. The two Littles and their
two sons and a colored man retreated to
the tower above the shaft and opened fire
on the attacking party, some OF whom
were seen to fall The fire was returned,
and hundreds of shots were fired into and
through the tower, The Littles hoisted

made by one side or the other
Affairs were decidedly warlike until 8
o'clock yesterday afternoon. Although
the deputies cut all the telegraph wires
between this city and Midland, the min
ers were quickly informed by their scouts
of the advance Of the sheriff's force, and
prepared for battle. They were willing to
submit to the militia, but declared they
would never be arrested until the troops
arrived.
Mayor Lindsay and President Parker
of the First National bank, called up Sher
i'll Bowers by telephone and begged him
to stop his deputies until the troops could
reach camp. Sheriff Bowers agreed &C
this, and there is every reason to believe
that there will be no further hostilities
Alex Mcintosh, representing the miners
announced that they would lay dowI
their arms Immediately on the arrival o.

while defending no individuals, insist on
the maintenance of liberty within consti
