shoes for the fall season, which was
the result Of meeting of manu-
taCturorS in Boston few DAYS ago.
Is creating considerable dissatisfnc

johhCrs and retailers have taken con-

y GREAT STRIKE From 10 to
10 thousand miners of the Flat Top
coal region are out on a strike and
trouble IL apprehended. The ostcn-
Sihle cause Of the strike is "A reduc-
ton of 20 per cent. in the wages of
tn" miners, but il appears that the
operators and the owners of coal
lands in the Flat Top region are
hacsing the miners and encouraging
the strike, their object being to force
the Norfolk and Western TO haul
coal nj n lower rate.

LIBERTY AND THEcHUEcH."

Under the above the New York
Times says: cardinal Gibbons returns
20 his home and to what, more than
most men. he may call his country
with as confident and ardent ptimism
as the proudest American could desire.
He declares very properly, that his visits
TO the Pope were without especial
significance, but it is not without
significance that the Cardinal brought
away confirmed impression that the
head of the church cherishes II deep
feeling, for liberty as it is understood
i'm America and a profound trust IN
the future Of the church under the re-
gime CT that liberty. We remarked
sometime since on some expressions at
tributed to Cardinal Gibbons by a re-
PORTER of the Paris Figaro which were
in the same sense as the interview Win
the Times. There is no question OF the
sincerity Of the Cardinal, and there IL
much reason for qualification that his
spirit should be shared 10y the Pope.
