Since last Sabbath morning these
thoughts come to our mind and as we
try to DANISH them they come back with
renewed force. SO we come TO You and
ask you, as citizens of this city, did we
do, or are we doing, what we can to
save the young men of this place from
following in the footsteps of those who
are going down to death In our midst !:
Do we, as Christians, go TO those who
are being tempted and led astray and
talk to them and encourage them by
our help and by our prayers into bet
ter life? How many of us, as follow
ers of Christ, went to the man who has
SO lately been laid away in our Gem
etery by the side of his beloved mother,
and showed him by our actions and
coming in personal touch with him
that we We're interested in him, and
then take him to our Father above and
present him there and ask the aid and
forgiving love of that One who has
commanded us, "Thou shalt love thy
neighbor as thyself"? Who is thy
neighbOr? Not the one who lives
nearest to me, but the one whom we
see and know needs a Savior'S tender
merciful love and care. Am 1 my
brothers keeper AN /? Who of
us can rise up AMI say with clean
conscience before God, 81 have done
what | could to save this man with
many others in our community. Rather
should we ask ourselves the question
Have hindered by my action, by my
words, by my daily lite, anyone from
coming to Christ? What have we, as
Christians, failed to do for this brother d:
Are not we who claim to be Christians
responsible for the evil which is exist
ing on the right and on the left, running
SO many men, young and old, and send
ing so many souls into eternity untitled
and unprepared? We are fostering
and sustaining THAT which is destroy
ing and breaking up homes, sending
children to orphans homes, separating
husband and wife, and yet we raise no;
our voice, or make one effort to abatt
by one "jot or title the cause thereof
Think you not that God will hold us, as
his chill lren, responsible?

Her cup of Nth all nations drain.

Its dragon voice is plainly heard
In honor of the royal queen.
Saying: Make an image To the beast
Unite the power of church and state.
That She may ride in royal power
And Stay the saints. both small and great.
Her drunken revel soon will end.

tee arrived here Monday, and lengthy
conference was held with the members

nent republicans at the Auditorium

ing and his associates will work under

with the arrangement.
The committee had to deal with q
more delicate matter when the original
Mckinley and campaign fund question
came up. Mr.. Hanna sent for Mr.. Al
lerton, the millionaire packer, and Ma
tionnl Committeeman Jameson was
also called in as the representative Of
the state organisation. Mr.. Jameson
submitted list Of four score Chicago
citizens, representing every industry
and mercantile pursuit, as the members

posed TO make the official agents of the
party for advisory and money-getting
purposes.
Messrs. Thurston, Hubbard and Cum
mings, for Nebraska, Minnesota and
Iowa. were questioned regarding the
situation in their states by the commit
tee. They said that silver sentiment
was growing because of literature sent
among the farmers by the silver organi-
cations, but they had heard of no bolts,
and urged immediate work on the part
of the republican literary bureau.

Presence of Troops at Cleveland Does Not
Prevent Rioting.


Cleveland, o., July 20.-All of Friday
there occurred clashes between the mob
at the Brown hosting works, the police
and militia. The members of the mob
were in vicious mood. and whenever
a lone soldier or policeman could be
reached violence was attempted. The
troops from two y. IN. were constantly
under arms and had great difficulty in
clearing the street. two charges being
necessary. in which the bayonet was
freely used. But as soon as n charge
was ended, The mob, which early in the
afternoon numbered 5000. would flow
back against the line of steel like n
wave of the sea. and again begin to boot
and throw stones.
When the worlxmen had been taken
away and the troops were returning TO
their quarters at the works. another
vengeful rally was made upon Com
pany +. Again charge was made and
cold steel was driven home, so that
many of the rioters had TO be helped
away. At this time some one sent in
a general alarm to the police station
aud every patrol wagon was soon dash
ing through the streets, causing the
widest rumors among the thousands
on their way home from work. There
was no need of the police reinforce
ments and the crowd. which had been
swelled 10 $4,000. began TO melt away.
Ii looked az IL the trouble was ended,
but at seven o'clock an assault was
made on soldier who was passing
along Wilson avenue. lie fought des-
perateiy. as did also policeman who
hurried 10 his aid. a squad Of troops
came TO their rescue. but not before the
officers had been beaten into insensi-
bility. Again the patrol wagons rushed
to the scene and had all they could do
10 force IA passage through the angry
mob. just how many strikers were
hurt is uncertain. Two. both severely
stabbed with bayonets, are lying at the
ST. Clair hospital. They are Thomas
McGreavey and Thomas Garety.

That Number Represents the Known vio-
Tins OF the Cleveland Disaster.

Tim. OF the tttttiAu0 DteAnttr.
Cleveland. o.. July 1.-THE most ap
palling disaster which has occurred in
Cleveland. except the viaduct horror last
winter. when loaded street car
plunged 100 feet into the rive-. oc-
cured Thursday night at eight o'clock.
While flat-bottomed ferry boat. load
ed with between 40 and so lnborers,
was crossing the old river channel, IL
was capsized and all the men :hiown
into the channel. and between 10 and
90 drowned, IA bodies having already
been taken from the water.
The accident was due 10 panic
among the men on board. The boat
was loaded so that the gunwale was
only three inches above the water. aud
{ passing tug made waves which came
into the boat. At once there was rush
10 the other side. and the boat went
under and spilled the men. They were
all members OF gang OF ore handlers,
and were coming 10 their homes.
The scene In the river. as described
by the men on the tug and the steamer
Langdon, which were passing, was one
of wild struggle for life. Men grappled
each other and went down i'm the fierce
embrace. Lines and life preservers
were thrown from both vessels
AID many were pulled aboard. Others
of the unfortunates were rescued by
small boats and some swan ashore.
7 he life-saying crew was summoned
and the work OF searching for bodies
al once began.
Cleveland, o., July iS.-All Friday
the work of dragging the river bed at
the scene of Thursday nights disaster
was continued. The coroner has been
diligently inquiring and is certain that
several bodies are still in the river. As
near as can be determined ten men are
missing. The regular employees of the
Cleveland and Pittsburgh ore dock are
all accounted for, either drowned or mt
home. The uncertainty arises from the
fact that large numbers of extra men
are hired each day, paid by the day and
SC no record OF their names kept. Seven
teen bodies have been recovered.
