DRILLING WITH ARMS
CLEVELAND STRIKERS READY TO
AvENGE THEIR DEAD COMRADES.
Four Companies of Militia on Duty
at Brown Hosting Works TO
Prevent Trouble To-Day.

CLEVELAND. O.. Aug. "A startling
piece of news in connection with the
Brown strike, which comes from an ap-
parently reliable source. is TO the effect
that the strikers are arming themselves
and drilling. 1t was said to-day that forty
of the strikers had organized a company
last Saturday. elected a captain and pur-
chased revolvers. The company drilled
Saturday evening and it was announced
that the purpose of the men was to avenge
the death of the two men who were shot
at different times in conflicts between
union and nonunion men.
James OConnell. the head Of the ma
chinists' union, who was here in charge
of the strike and who helped to bring about
the settlement under which the men
turned to work, came back to Cleveland to-
day. He was very much surprised and
chagrined to learn that the men had struck
the second time. He said he believed the
company had entered into the agreement
with the men in good faith and he was sat-
isfied that the company intended TO live
up to its agreement in every respect.
Four companies of militia are on duty at
the works tonight and a large force of
police will be on hand in the morning to
guard against trouble when the nonunion
men go TO work

picture of the time OF King Edward III,
period of English history hitherto un-

human sympathy. The underlying
idea of Basil Thompson's "A Court In

of men and women who are at first so

BICA Gle ACCIDENT STATISTICS

The relative frequency Of various

From these it appears that 53l, or ovs r

accidents is the most suggestive fea-

Ex-senator EdmundS ON the PcrilS OF
Free Coinage of Silver

tors now speaking endeavor to make
people believe that the opposition to
the free coinage project comes from the
capitalists and the gold bugs" as they
call them. a gold bug" may be a bad
| man, but the people of the world have
| always found and always will find that
humbug Is a much worse one. But
who is the capitalist and who Is the gold
bug" Out of nearly 10000 900 of people
in the United States 1t is safe to say
that there are not 10000 individuals
who are great capitalists" The capi-
tal-which is merely another name for
the accumulated wealth of the country
is divided among our people in more
nearly equal proportions than in any
| other country on the globe. The small
| est farmer. the smallest trader. the
smallest manufacturer and the hum
blest worllingman is capitalist and
they all have the same interests. 1t is
their corporation that produces pros
perity and welfare. Without it few Of
them can have either.
AIMED AT OUR FREEDOM.
The banks, against which so much
| Is said. find their capital In the con-
tributions usually smalD of their
stockholders, composing in numbers
and amount much the largest part Of
their enterprise. Thesame is true of
corporations In the main. The same Is
true. as we all know, OF the savings
| banks. The same Is true of every rail
way line in the country. There is no
place. happily in this republic where 4
line can be drawn between the rich
and the poor. There are no classes" of
| any kind, either of title or station or
wealth.
The Chicago project therefore. Is not
! and cannot be aimed at the pulling
/ down of the rich and the building up
of the poor; II is aimed at our system
of true freedom. equality and justice,
that reaches from the richest To the
poorest man In the country, and II car
| ried out it will operate-as such
schemes always have-a hundred times
| more severely upon people of small
means and upon labor than upon the
| very wealthy, who are always able--as
| they always have been-to take care
of themselves under any condition Of
| things.
| The substantial prosperity, therefore,
| of the whole body of the people of our
country, as well as its honor, requires
us to unite in condemning and defeat
ing this scheme by the surest means in
our power.

EVERYBODY UNDERSTOOD,

Do the free coinage of silver people,
many of the leaders of whom were then,
and still are. in congress, pretend that
they voted on that act in ignorance Of
the fact that no provision was made for
coming silver dollars. while express
provision was made for the coinage of
small silver? Did the people under
stand It? Nobody pretends any such
thing. Everybody knew that the COM
mercial countries of the world were, as
rapidly as possible. coming to the only
philosophical standard of values. name-
ly, single standard either of gold or Of
silver; the countries where labor was
best rewarded and where the conditions
of property and prosperity were most
uniform among all portions Of the COM
munity. going to the gold standard,
while those less happily situated ad-
hered to the silver standard, such as
Russia, China, Japan, Mexico, and so
forth.
The resumption act of 1875 had pro-
vided for the redemption of United
States notes, and did not permit their
reissue; so that when the debt of the
government was once paid, 1t would re-
main paid. I think I am safe In saying
that II that policy had been adhered b
the country would not have been In so
bad condition as 1t Is now. and we
shouldsnot have bs en- obliged to borrow
two hundred millions to continue the
