Backbone of the Great Pennsylvania
Coke Strike About Broken.
UNIoNTowN. Pa, April 5.-Unless
there is radical change in the situa-
ton in the Pennsylvania coke region,
the strike of the miners and cookers is
about broken. The authorities have
taken a stand and are determined to put
down the riot at any cost now. This
policy has thrown the lawbreakers into
state of decentralization. After the
sheriff's posse concluded the engage
ment with the mob which had MUIR
dered Engineer Paddock and landed the
leaders and over 100 strikers in the
county Jail, everything quieted down
Immediately, and the reports from
every point in the region at the close of
the day show that the lawless set have
been generally subjugated. Small ont
breaks occurred at several places dur
ing the morning, but as the day advanced
the strikers lost courage, and the mobs
which camped out during the night, in
intending to make raids at every work
ing plant at daytreak, commenced to
diminish in size, and by the time half
the route of each mob was covered the
forces were almost completelydis banded.

TRUSTS BETRAYED.

The New Ulm Review, takes the
same view of Sam Peterson's defeat
for mayor of that city, as The GAZETTE
has taken during Sans whole political
career. 1t says:
The lesson is plain. The people
do not believe in repeatedly electing
a man to Office if that man repeatedly
fails to do his duty. And that is just
what Peterson has done. In his DO
itical career, three things stand out
prominently three acts that break
the monotony of long period OF SER
vice, like windmill breaking the
lonesomeness of Holland lowland.
The first was the failure to vote for
Window under peculiar conditions.
The second was that great stroke,

Thirteen DEAD.

Terrible Expl osion of Fireworks at Bland.
ford. Va.
PETERSBURG, Va, April 9.-An ex-
plosion in the fireworks factory OF e. N.
Romano & Bros. in Blandford resulted
in the death of IL persons and the in
jury of several others. Most OF the
bodies recovered are unacceptable.
Just prior to the explosion Charles N.
Romano, the senior mem Der of the firm,
John Bland, the senior member of the
tobacco firm of Bland Brothers q
Wright, Captain James Tosh, prom
inent citizen, and Charles Bland were
engaged in conversation in the Office of
the fireworks company. Fire was dis
covered in an outbuilding and these
gentlemen went to the assistance of the
employees and tried to extinguish it by
throwing buckets of water on it.
An alarm had been turned in and
just as Chief Engineer Farley of the
fire department drove into the yard, the
explosion occurred. John Bland and
Charles Romano were killed instantly
and their bodies horribly mangled.
Chief Engineer Farley was fatally in
jured and died in two hours. Captain
Tosh's body was burned almost beyond
recognition. The other dead are Robert
Roland, James Roland, James Perkins,
William Tyler, John L. Harris, Red
Graves and five others not identified.
Among the wounded are Charles Short,
John Wells and several Italians, who
will probably die. The loss by the fire
will reach 100000.

THE u. S. SENATORSHIp.

St. Paul and Minneapolis have one
quarter of the entire population of the
State of Minnesota. Those two cities
have over one-quarter of the repre-
sentation in the lower House of con-
gress, and they have the total repre-
sentation in the Senate. This will
continue as long as the country dis
tricts bow to the wishes and dictates
of the city bosses. 1t is time that the
people in the country call a halt and
demand that at least one of the men,
bers of the upper house should hail
from the country and be person who
is in thorough sympathy with the ag-
ricultural classes. There is to be an
election by the Legislature of 1895 of
Senator to succeed W.D. Washburn.
Against the gentleman we have moth
ing to say. In fact, his effort in sup
port of the anti-option measure, COM
mends him to the people. But the
people of the country districts would
not be true to their own interests if
they do not send up senators and rep
resentatives who will support man
from the country. 1t is their duty to
do so. It is their duty to stop the
cavilling of the city ringsters and lob
byists, and to do SO they must stop
bowling to their mandates and elect
ing whoever they dictate.
Let the man be some good, true
representative of the agricultural dis
tricts. There are plenty of them in
the State. L. w. Collins is one. John
Lind is another. Knute Nelson is an
other. G.. S. Ives ditto. There are
large number of them. Let us join
hands and put an end to the success
full conspiring of the St. Paul and
Minneapolis bosses.

POLITICAL NURSLINGS.

Judge Weber may not be a candi-
date to succeed himself this fall.
Marcus johnson is expected to re-
turn to Kandiyohi county and run for
State Senator this fall.
Tams Bixby, since he has purchased
complete control of the Red Wing
Republican, is likely to be looking af-
ter an elective office.
There are twentythree avowed can
didates for the State Offices on the Re-
publican ticket. They will grow few
or as convention day approaches.
Bob Dunn has announced himself,
formally, as candidate for the State
authorship. Now, watch the pine
land ringsters jump on to Bob.
o. B. Turrell would like to see w.
F. Dickinson nominated and elected
Senator from this district, in case DR..
Finn will not become a candidate.
Geo. w. Somerville, the bright
young barrist of Sleepy Eye, may be
candidate for Judge Webber's shoes
before the Ninth district Republican
judicial convention.
Among the candidates mentioned
for Senator from this district are the
names of DR.. w. D. Finn, G. D. Gil
fllan and Geo. w. Somerville. These
are named for the Republican ticket.
Frank Day may be candidate for
reelection as Senator from Martin
and Watonwan, and he may not.
Frank would like the job. He has
been there so long that the district
cannot improve upon him.
There will be no opposition to Chief
Justice Gilfillan and Justice Collins,
and not even a Democratic Populistic
fusion can defeat the two at the polls
this year. They are both popular, on
account OF being approachable, and
for the justice of their decisions.

HIS NAME IS PANTS.

In the reports of the spring elections
that have been held throughout the
State this year, there has been no
more pleasant news to all lovers of
pure politics, and opposers of corrupt
methods, than the turning down of
Sam D. Peterson, as mayor of New
Ulm. Still reeking in the excrescence
of polluted and alleged Republican
ism, Stunned by men who assisted
him, pointed out as traitor, yea, a
double traitor, to passers-by, the eter-
smiling, tattooed politician, willing to
sacrifice any principle in order to again
secure a political foothold, dared to
bob up as the abortive candidate of
an abortive, unholy alliance of a few
Democrats and disgruntled Repub-
icans, willing to be kicked by them
at random, for the sake of a petty Of
fee.
The majority for the other candi-
date, Mr.. Koch, was not large one
only ten votes, but the small majority
is all the more calling to Sam-more
so than the majority of one for Sen
ator Davis in 1893 was to Sam-be-
cause Sam could have found IL more
votes, if he had known they were
needed. Sam had following made
up of fighters, and his loss was in
deed a great loss to him and them-a
gain to New Ulm, for decent politics.
It is stated that had Sam been elect
ed he would again have stood as
candidate for Senator from this dis
tric:. The angel of politics has
crushed the one ambition and saved
the district from another disgrace. It
has shed tears for weeping, bleeding
district long enough, and even if Sam
continues to aspire for the Senatorial
toga, we predict that the people will
rally to the side of right and purity,
and crush the double traitor, and con-
sign him to the bottomless pit OF i'm
pure politics.
