the jubilee of NJ. Vuillemin, manager

hurled several yards, while ten of the
bystanders were thrown to the floor,
injured by the explosion. Decoux had
been earring bomb beneath his coat

s5O6.J03 Con fla grafton at Menominee.


The most destructive fire which ever
visited Menominee started in the slab
piles of Spies lumber yard. The wind
was blowing very hard and in 30 min
utes the flames were beyond control
and were threatening the entire city.
The entire lumber yard of Spies,
the Girard Lumber Co., and the Bay
Shore Lumber Co. were burned. All
the offices, barns and stables, oil
houses, etc, were also consumed.
The fire departments of Marine tie and
Peshtigo, Wis, came to give assistance.
IT is estimated that at least 10000, 600
feet of lumber burned, also hundreds
of thousands of shingles and lath.
The sight was grand one and thous-
ands of people watched the progress
of the flames, filed with dread of pos
sible danger to their homes. Seven
dwellings of State e. Jenkins were
totally burned and the Bay View house
partially SO. Clark's match factory
stock is a complete loss. The total
loss will reach 100000. Four men
were seriously injured. Chief Kratz
of the fire department had his nose
fractured but went back TO the fire.
He was carried out of building in
sensible. But for the gallant work of
the fire departments the city would
probably have been swept away.

striking Miners Becoming Violent

The striking miners at Ishpeming
and Negaunee have retained the sym
pathies of many people because they
had been quiet and orderly, but as the
strike progresses and there seems to
be less light ahead for the strikers
they are becoming restless, and seem to
imagine that any criticism OF their
actions can only come from an enemy,
and they are very easy to offend. Fred
Britton, who is known as one of the
''squarest" newspaper correspondents
in the state, was sent to lshpeming by
the Detroit News to write up the
strike. The men did not take kindly
to his presence, and about midnight a
mob of 500 surrounded the telegraph
Office where he was at work and or
dered him to depart Britton refused
until the chief of police advised him
to do so. He took his time about it,
however. lie went to Champlain and
afterward to Marquette.
Many of the strikers were armed
with clubs and cobblestones, and had
it not been for the urgent solicitation
of Rev. VIM. Coad, chairman Of the
union, that the men refrained from
violence, it is certain that an open
struggle and a lynching might have

An attempt was started TO mob local
editor, but the mob thought better of

is expressed at the act of the mob,
which is regarded in the light of
lawless and cowardly conspiracy, and
a precedent that the authorities can
not ignore.
LATER. -Britton returned to Ishpem-
ing being assured by Gov. Rich of full
protection. The city authorities and
county officials also gave their word
that he should not be again molested.
The strike leaders tod Britton that
the trouble would not occur again.
The Buffalo group is talking seri-
ously of starting up its steam shovels.
Should they decide to adopt that pol
icy, matters will be brought speedily
to a crisis. A union is being organ
lied on the Menominee range and the
men at the Dunn mine at Crystal Falls
are on strike for an increase with
prospects of the trouble spreading in
that district.
The action of the Franklin Copper
Mining company, of Houghton, in
raising the wages of all employees 10
per cent will probably be followed by
several other mines and eventually by
all the copper mines of the district.

A Risky Game.

If the gentleman who chiefly superin-
tends the destiny of the Republican
party in Philadelphia and Harrisburg
knows good reasons for the sudden
turning down of Senator Boies Penrose
ana the equally sudden turning up of
City Solicitor Charles f. Warwick as
the approved Republican candidate for
mayor of Philadelphia, he seems to
have kept those reasons carefully Sc
creted as yet. The subject is not one
for outside interference; but in so far as
the welfare of the Republican party in
Pennsylvania is identified with its well
fare in Philadelphia, state-at-large Re
publicans may with propriety take in
this distance, reasonably certain to re-
suit in the election of Robert T.. Patti
son to the position now graced by Ed
win s. Stuart
David Martin, the gentleman to
whom we refer, it is to be presumed
is in position to know the full mean
ing of this eleventh-hour transposi-
ton better than it is known by those
who seem disposed to criticise him. If
he shall succeed in electing Mr.. War
wick under present circumstances such
result would conspicuously strength
en- his hold upon the politics of the en-
tire state and place him, in point of
political prestige. fairly alongside one
who is now looked upon as his superior
Senator Quay. We do not recall, on
any scale, more ambitious and dra-
matte political climax than was en-
acted in the early hours of yesterday
morning, when Penrose convention
was changed into a Warwick conven-
ton between midnight and dawn. Had
Martin really been Warwick, he could
not have been more proficient as a
maker and unmaker of kings
But is the prize worth the risk? To
Mr. Martin, it may be; but how about
the great bulk of the Republican voters
of Philadelphia? Do they share in Mr.
Martins ambitions and wish to further
his interests by being careless of their
own? We are inclined to doubt the ex-
pediency of relying too implicitly upon
affirmative replies to these interroga-
tions. The situation to us bears a sus-
picious look; We fancy we can detect
in it just such symptoms as have twice
before, in state politics, played into
the hands of the present Democratic
governor. The mistakes made in 1882
and in 1890 by those who then occu-
pied much the same relation toward
state politics that is sustained by
David Martin today toward the munich
pal politics of Philadelphia proved too
costly, we should think, to suggest the
wisdom Of their repetition, even upon a
smaller scale.

whereby straight ticket" can be voted
by marking a cross in circle above a
party column Is not only useless to the
average voter who rarely wishes TO vote
an absolutely straight ticket, but causes
endless uncertainty and mistakes. Expe-
rience shows that If a ballot can be
marked in two ways many voters are GER
tain to attempt to use both at the same
time. This causes many votes to be lost
by inconsistent marking, besides leaving

1t seems that thirty years ago when the
civil war was at its height, the patriotic
Americans then In Paris came together to
celebrate the Fourth of July in an appro-
PIRATE manner. When the toast "Our
Country was given, gentleman re-
sponded by proposing: "A health to the

British America, on the south by Mexico,
on the east by the Atlantic, and on the

a second one follow which would do the
subject justice, and said: 'The United

That Reconciliation.

There has been numerous "eXplana-
tions" of the sudden recent reconcilia-
tIon between the president and Senator
IIill the majority of which have utterly
failed to explain. But we suspect that
the Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Evening Post comes near to
the truth when he writes that Senator
Hill, wearled of eternally struggling in
the trough of the waves, has made up
his mind to try for the presidential
nomination in 1896 just hard enough to
lose it, thus giving somebo body else the
opportunity to do the hard fighting for
once. He has figured in cold-blooded
fashion that the chances of Democratic
success two years hence will not be half
as good as in 1900, and being patient he
prefers to reserve his crowning struggle
for stage that will offer the best pros
poets of winning The senator is be-
lieved to favor a western or southern
man for the presidential nomination.
no special preference yet expressed, but
neither Carlisle, Stevenson, Morrison,
Crisp nor Vest being considered objec-
tionable."
In considering this plausible theory 1t
must be remembered that David r.
Hill, whatever his faults, Is a man of
conceded astuteness. While Tammany
represented the indispensable requisite
of Democratic success, Hill, albeit in
1initely Tammany's superior in intel
1ectual ability and personal tastes and
habits, sedulously cultivated Tammany.
When to retain Tammany's favor
meant to wage bitter warfare upon the
administration, Hill unhesitatingly
threw down the gage of battle and
fought as only great politicians can
fight. Now that an uprising of the pub
lie conscience has unhorsed Tammany,
the consequent question which David B.
liill Is smart enough to study in all its
aspects Is how to detach himself from
the Tammany entanglements without
sharing In Tammany's overthrow.
The idea of Joining forces with ira
ditional enemy would never occur to
commonplace minds; but 1t was prob
ably the very first idea that occurred
to David B. Hill. He very likely rea-
soned that Mr.. Cleveland was in pretty
much the same kind of dilemma; and
being so much better politician than
Cleveland, he doubtless manipulated

LEGISLATIVE TOPICS.
New Charities plan.

A bill creating a state department of
charities and correction has been drawn
up at the instance of some interested par
ties and will be among the first presented
to the house at Harrisburg. Governor
elect Hastings, it is understood, has been
requested to recommend it in his message,
and there will be u strong fight made 10
push it through. The new department
would cost the state just the sum at pres
ent expended on the board of charities.
$1,000. This fund now goes to salary two
men, Cadwallader Biddle, the secretary Of
the board of charities, and Mr.. Wetherell,
secretary of the commission on lunacy,
the remaining ten members being unsal-
aried appontees of the governor. The
new bill contemplates four salaried Of
ficers, and the cost of running the depart
ment will be about the same as for the
board. The superintendent of the depart
ment will be appointed by the governor
and approved by the senate, as are super
intendents of banks, schools and other
departments. The department will be di-
vided into three bureaus-charities, cor
rections and lunacy, respectively, with
an inspector at the head of each ap-
pointed by the superintendent. These
four officers will be salaried. Whenever
the various institutions throughout the
state make application to the Legislature
for appropriations, the bill further pro-
vides that the superintendent of this de-
partment, the auditor general and the
state treasurer shall form q commission
to pass upon and recommend to, or with
hold from, the committee on appropria-
tions the special application. AS the au-
ditor general knows the revenue of the
commonwealth, the treasurer knows its
financial status, and the superintendent
would or should know the needs of the
institution, II Is supposed a much more
equitable basis of appropriation could be
secured than heretofore.

ward, next month, and may be taken
as presaging Mr. Millar's triumphant

shown an executive capacity for de-
tails and soundness of judgment that
cannot fail to make him superior

LIT 1t Be a ROuSer.

The public meeting in this city next
Saturday evening, called in protest
against the Armenian atrocities, will
be addressed by eminent citizens, and
1t should be a rouser! Each day adds
10 the horrors of Turkish misrule; and
each day of inactivity ON the part of
the civilized governments of the world
decreases the likelihood of satisfac-
tory investigation.
Primarily, of course this indigna-
ton meeteing will be directed against
the barbamties inflicted upon innocent
men, women and children in far-off
land where justice is known only
through accident or favoritism; and
where freedom of faith and liberty of
conscience are an unvolced hope. But
secondarily, the meeting will, in effect,
if not in intention. help to stimulate the
growing demand in this country for an
American policy which will not compel
the American ltraveler in Turkey, if he
wishes to have any rights before the
law, to seek the protection of the Brit
cause his own flag is regarded with su-
rreme contempt.
Among the thousands of innocent
lives recently sacrificed to Moham-
medan prejudice in Asia Minor there
may have been not one American life.
But we want a condition of public sem
timent in this country, back of its au-
thorities, which will enable us to be-
1eve that no American life will be lost,
in time to come, through the senile OBJ
so;escence of the present Turkish dyn-
asty; and that no orderly American
citizen, setting foot on Turkish soil,
shall stand in danger of death, impris-
onment or injury of any kind whatso-
ever.
