Their Hiding Place Abandoned Coal Mines

The place where they alighted is right
on the river bank, and in the middle of
the river is an island a mile long which
has been said t. be the rendezvous Of all
sorts Of desperadocs by tradition and
legend of years. 1t Is believed they crossed
Ia the island en the ice, walked the length
Of the island and passed to the other side
of the river which is the beginning Of "a
huge stretch of wild territory honey
c"nbed with abandoned coal mines in
Wapcllo and Monroe counties, where
there is ungucstionably u gang Of moon
sinners and counIerfeiters. 1t is believed
that these men are of the same gang rs

1t is thought that confederatcs met them

have even got SO close to moonshiners in
this locality rs to exchange shots with
them and then were unable to secure them
owing To the numerous hiding places in

the robbers left the train at the crossing
the mail clerk succeeded i'm getting his
bonds loosened and he lost no time in re-
leasing his companions. BY that time the
train was mt the station at Ottumwa and
the alarm was given. Two posses were
started in pursuit. One in charge of Bur-
iington Detective Jim Harrison took an
engine and started for ChIllicothe.
Harrison is the man who killed one
bandit and wounded another at Batavia u
short time ago. The sheriff took another
posse up To the island tn pick up the trail

them yet. The robbers were medium
sized men. Both wore brown Overcoats
and caps with flap masks. One had on
gray jeans pants and the other worc over

The extreme rigor with which the ortho-
dox Russian Jews living here keep the Sabbath
was illustrated by a trial reported in yesterdays
SUN. One OF thcm offended his co-rellgionlsts
by smoking cigar In the street on the Sabbath
his brethren demonstrated with him, set upon
him. smote him in the face. and wounded him
in such way that his smoking was brought to
an end for one Sabbath. His assailants were
brought TO trial last Friday; he could not prove
his case; they were acquitted; and after their
acquittal. as reported in THE sun, half hun
dred or more Of the orthodox gathered around
them and kissed them"
II seems to us that they interpreted tho fourth
table OF the law OF MOSES too strictly. We do
not see that cigar smoking, or the inhaling and
exhallng Of tobacco smoke, can properly be re-
garded as working. or as breaking the Sabbath,
or as violating the command to halow IL; and
yet we admit that, II the chief rabbi Of the east
side 80 regards it, there is an end to tho contro-
versy. so far as his many followers are con-
cerned.
As further bearing upon the subject, we can
say with certainty that the original Puritan set
tiers of New England would have rejoced over
the smiting and flooring Of any man who smoked
on the Sabbath kept by them. which was Sunday.
The sun., 1895-02-10

in the cessation from regular labor and
business by the great majority Of the people,
and in certain religious observances prac-
tised by the minority during few OF its
hours. Many people go to church for AN
hour or two, more people stay away, and
multitudes are at work in running the
machinery Of civilization, which cannot be
stopped for single day without general
damage. For instance, there must be
drivers, engineers, and conductors to take
the people to church. People want fresh
milk and bread on Sunday no less
than on other days; and the milkmen
and bakers must keep at work to
supply their demands They want news
papers, the labor on which, 1t II true.
Is all done before daylight on Sunday, but
the papers must be sold and bought and
delivered on that day. Unless perhaps, in
the change Of hours of meals in many cases,
the household routine goes on the same as
usual. Social entertainments in the strict
meaning of this pledge may be much fewer
than ON week days, but people entertain
themselves in other ways of social inter
course, nominal Sabbatarians though they
may be. The change is in form, not in es-
sence. The men who were playing billiards
in the billiard saloons raided last Sunday,
were not violating the spirit of ascetic Sabba-
tarianism any more than were the pious peo-
plewho were driving to church. eating we'll
cooked dinners prepared on that day, and
conversing about the things of this world.
Those good women of the Fifth avenue ac-
cordingly will have hard task in chang
ing the observance of Sunday by "precept
and example" They will have to trans
form their own practice radically, and COM
pletely revolutionize the practice and the
sentiment of Christendom generally. They
will have to transform modern civiliza-
tion and introduce into it a method
OF Sunday observance which is DOS
sible only in society of the
simplest organization, with the demands
and necessities of barbarism only. Sunday
may be kept as Sabbath in such COM
munity without serious disturbance; butit
cannot be thus observed in civilization with
out producing disastrous consequences. Yet
If the obligation to obey the Mosaic COM
mandment as applying to Sunday rests on
any, it rests on all. no matter what happens

We cannot speak from experience in favo

We cannot speak from experience in favor
of those paper vests" which have como into
somo vogue this winter. and which, 1t 10 said
are satisfactory both to the ribs and the spinal
column in very cold weather. We are told by
an enthusiast who made paper vest for him
self out of a copy of last Sundays SUN. after he
had read every word of it and committed ono
of its original poems to memory. that It is
meat, warm, healthy, and sure preventive of
pneumonia" We should think this useful gar
ment ought to be worn under the cloth vest, per-
haps outside Of the flannel shirt, and that il
thus worn, 1t would surely help to keep
out the cold air and to retain the natural
heat in proper place. The paper vest is said to
be especially acceptable to letter carriers, car
drivers, street cleaners, news venders. and other
people who are much exposed to the weather at
this time of the year. We understand that there
are places whore the garment can be purchased
for q trihe by men who cannot cut 1t and clasp
1t for themselves; but the man unable to do
that, and thus save his money, must be too
stupid to live in this country. We should think
there had better be several thcknesses OF paper
in the vest, though from lack Of experience we
speak with uncertainty. There are no paper
trousers yet, so far as We know; but who can
tell what people will come to II the hard times
continue forever?

President Norton Shows Judge Gay
nor What to Do.

Commenting upon Judge GAYNoR's recent
remarkable letter to the State Board OF
Mediation and Arbitration, President NOR
TON Of the Atlantic Avenue Railroad of
Brooklyn concludes his evidence OF the
Judges misstatements with these words:
at will accordingly be seen that Judge aArNon's
charge. far this company IL concerned, 10 en-
treiy without warrant: and am very much sur.
prsed he should not have st taken the pains TO
inform himself on the subject before writing a. he
did, especially ~bsn. Judge OF the Supreme Court
he might at any cms called upon TO act of1cially
in matters affecting this company sai Its employees"
This fortifes THE SUNS conclusion i'm
mediately after the publication OF the
Judges letter, that the authors proper
place, instead Of being q public officer,
would be that Of a private citizen car
rying on his private purposes and prop
uganda free from official obligation or
restraint. If Judge GAYNoR were given to
logical reflection, he would wait for no fur
ther argument, but would purge the Su-
preme Court of his anti judicial partisanship
By at once retiring from the bench.

or by the friends Of SPREcKEIs's friend, the
Widow DoMMrs, or by intrigues inspired by
British commercial and political interests
The situation imperatively requires the
construction Of an American cable between
San Francisco and Honolulu. The national
reasons for the immediate execution OF that
great and necessary enterprise were set forth
in the Senate on Wednesday in n notable
speech by the Hon. ANTHONY HIGGINS Of
Delaware. We reprint Senator HGGoINss
speech, and advise every American to read
It. The man who pronounced IL breathed
forth both patriotism and sound and practi-
cal statesmanship.
We need such Americans in the Senate.
We shall need them more and more during
the remaining years of this eventful cen
tury, for, like JOIN L. STEVENS, they look
beyond the immediate future into the
twentieth century, with all that it has in
store for the development Of Americas ma
tional and commercial greatness. For that
reason, the sel1shness Of petty ambition
that now holds in deadlock the Delaware
Legislature, to delay the return to the Sem
ate of such man as ANTHONY HIGGINS, is
q crime against the whole country.

say that the Honolulu authorities ought no
TO take extreme measures against personi
guilty of high treason. II the Cuckoo fol
lowers Of CLEVELAND and the partisans o.
Mrs. DoMINIs had succeeded in estab-
fishing a dc tdcto Government, recog
nized as belligerent, on one OF
the Hawaiian Islands, there would
be some basis for the comparison; but
as things are, there is manifestly none. Be
sides, those Senators who talk about the
| Union Government never recurring to harsh
measures have short memories. They have
forgotten the execution of Mrs SURRATT
for alleged completely in the assassination
OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN. 1t was not due to
any lack Of malignant intention on the part
of the Englishmen and the American
Cuckoos, who took part in the Hawaiian re-
bellion, that President DOLE and the MEM
bers Of his Cabinet did not share LINcoLN's
fate; for the conspirators were abundantly
supplied with weapons, including dynamite
bombs
To any one who takes the trouble to COM
pare our Secretary of States insolent inter
position on behalf of the alleged Americans,
GULrCK and SEWARD, with the published
instructions to Admiral BEARDsLEE, it will
be plain enough that what worries Messrs.
CLEVELAND and GRESHAM is the failure of
the conspiracy in Honolulu, and the fact
that the Americans now in jeopardy are not
the sturdy upholders Of President DOLE,
but unlucky Cuckoos swift to echo the
avowed sentiments and carry out the known
wishes of our Administration. When Ad-
miral BEARDSLEE was ordered to an
nounce on his arrival in Honolulu that
mo American citizen could claim the pro-
lection Of his Government who engaged in
contest to overthrow, or maintain, the Gov
ernment of the country in which he might
be living" the obvious purpose was to de-
prive the present Hawaiian Government Of
It's American supporters But what would
have been sauce for the Yankee friends of
President DOLE must be sauce for the Eng
lish and Cuckoo friends of Mrs. DoMINIs
Tho cup which Messrs. CLEVELAND and
GRESHAM mixed for others may now have
to be drained by the poor wretches who,
instigated by their attitude and relying on
their protection, have stumbled into acts of
treason against friendly power.
Morally, Of course, GULICK and SEWARD
should be looked upon as agents of our
State Department. They have merely trans
lated into deeds the wicked intentions which
have been proclaimed by the whole course Of
our Administration since it ordered Mr..
WILLIS to demand the abdcation of Presi-
dent DOLE. II they suffer the penalty of
crime. their blood will lie upon the heads of
Messrs. CLEVELAND and GRESHAM.
The sun., 1895-02-10
Then and Now.

Less than fourteen months have passed
since Minister ALBERT S. WILLIS, represent
ing Mr.. CLEVELAND had the effrontery to
call upon the Government Of Hawaii to step
down and out
He prefaced that demand by reading to
President DOLE and his Cabinet document
signed by Mrs. DoMIN1s, and then addressed
them as follows:
"It becomes my further duty to advise you SIR the
Executive OF the Provisional Government, and your
Minister'S of the Presidents president CLEvELASpsl
determination of the question which your action and
that OF the Queen devoived upon him, and that you
are expected to promptly rellnquish to her her
stitutionai authority"
All that sounds very strange now and
almost inconceivable. But the humiliating
record is there, and it is indelible. or course,
the demand of Mr.. WILLIS was utterly re-
jected, and then the backing down and out
was done not by Mr.. DOLE and his Minis
ters, but by Mr.. GROVER CLEVELAND and
his advisers.
In contrast with that missive of December,
1893, we have now had the document in
which Mrs. DoMINIs most explicitly de-
clares that the present Government of
Hawaii is the only lawful one, and that she
has no claims whatever against it. During
the interval there has been one feeble,
foolish demonstration which has only served
to show more strongly what was evident to
all but CLEVELAND, GRESHAM, and their
Cuckoo friends fourteen months ago, that
the Government represented by President
DOLE and his supporters was the only
one possible for Hawaii until annexation
should come.
