Men at Work Fear Violence.

the Allison, Boone and Enterprise mines
to-day for the purpose of inducing the men
at work to come out, dispersed this after
noon. having attained their object without
trouble Immediately upon receipt of the
news of the proposed raid, the mine own
ers at these pits ordered a suspension until
the excitement should die out. This after
noon the strikers held a meeting at which
speeches were made to the effect that If
the men did not remain out, the strikers
would return, 1000 strong, and instead of
bringing musical instruments they would
bring guns. A committee was appointed to
guard the mines and report in case the men
returned to work
The miners will probably resume to-mor-
row: Some of the men are afraid to go in
again, as they say the strikers threatened
violence and saiu they would burn the cars
and tipples. Everything IS quiet tonight

Washington was eminently q rrac-
teal statesman. His mind was of the
solid, practical order. In the Old South
church in Boston | have seen, in his
own bold and clear handwriting, the
expense accounts which he kept in the
revolution, down to the shillings and
the pence. He was no theorist, the
author of no new idea or system in gov
ernment. He left to Jefferson to
enunciate the great ideas of liberty in
the Declaration of Independence and
TO Hamilton. to inaugurate our great
system of finance. But when it came
to practical administration and execu-
tive duty he was a model of business,
Of order and law. Here his great rule
and guide was the conscientious ner-
formance of public duty. Naturally
conservative in his ideas, the suprem-
acy and authority OF law and govern

just after the revolution, he wrote.
There is no man living who wishes
more sincerely than do to see plan
adopted for the abolition CT slavery.
But there is but one proper and ef-
feetual mode by which it can lie ac-
complished and that is by legislative
authority, and this, SO far as my suf-

And these noble words he put into
practical effect by the emancipation Of
his own slaves by will, humanely pro-
viding for the support of the aged and
infirm among them. and giving the
most explicit and peremptory direc-
tons that those too young to support
themselves should "be taught TO read
