PURE GOVERNMENT MOVE.
Christian Citizenship League Pleas
ed With Their Progress.

Chicago. July 4.-The officers of the
National Christian Citizenship League
are very much pleased at the result of
their efforts to secure Fourth of July
celebration along the lines of their plat
form of principles. Their correspondence
for the past month has been very heavy,
letters coming in from all sections of the
country endorsing their plans and telling
of efforts to carry them out
MIR. Edwin Il. Wheeler. president, said
today:
The league began this work for anew
Fourth three years ago. The interest
has increased each year. but the result
this year is beyond all others. The south
has joined the north, and the east and
the west in the plea for higher citizen
ship and the application of Christian
patriotism to public affairs. Gen. G. III.
Howard, p. s. Hanson, DID,, and the.
Hon. Elijah Morse prepared the celcbra-
ton program carried out in many towns
and villages yesterday, and which will
be carried out i'll thousands more Mon
day. Many thousands of sermons were
preached today and many of the strong
est among the clergy and laity, Catholic
as well as Protestant, furnished telling
messages which were read to the con
gregations. Our correspondence shows
that religious denominations, young pee
pies organizations, temperance societies.
etc, are strongly interested in the move
ment: The aim of the league is to get
all the people together on common
basis of nOn-partisan demand for pure
government and the success of this year
shows we are progressing toward that
end" 80.

HOT WEATHER DYSPEPSIA.

Hot weather dyspepsia may be rccog-

TRAVEL RUBs OFF THE MOSS.

The schools are all closed and the heat
ed term has set in. and the population of
cities are seeking rest and recreation at
all the summer resorts in the United
States. II has always looked paradoXical
to us that so many of the citizens of Aus
tin forsakc their elegant and delightful
residences and the cool breezes that blow
daily from the gulf to endure the heat and
discomfort of travel and the half comfort
able accommodations of watering places
in the interior and along the sea coast. But
we suppose change is quite as necessary
an element of rest and recreation as any
thing else.
1t does rub up n constant worker, whcth-
er in the office. the store or the shop, to
see and converse with new people and take
mental pictures of new scenes. There is
no doubt about the fact that travel broad

schemes of the sugar trust. The very

The Injunction Was Dissolved h.
Judge Rantx.

Silver City, n. NJ. July 3.-.Judge Rantz
has passed down the opinion of the court
in the Rio Grande dam case. The injunc-
ton is dissolved. He holds that water
lying wholly within the United States
belongs exclusively to it, and the soil
within the United States is not burdcncd
with n servitude in favor of Mexico in
respect to any duty to so discharge the
water as to promote or preserve the navi-
gablity of the Rio Grande. 1t is not the
capacity of Il stream to float log or n
row boat which renders it navigable
river within the acts of congress. but
whether at regular periods of sufficient
duration and in its regular condition its
capacity is such as to be susceptible of
beneficial use as n public highway for
commerce. The Rio Grande in New
Mexico is not navigable river. The
power to control and regulate the Use of
waters not navigable, exercised by states
and territories in the arid west, was CON
firmed by congress by an act of 1866 and
that power now resides wholly in such
states and territories under the act of
1877 and subsequent ones. Therefore,
the diversion of such local waters is not
a violation of any act of congress, even
though the navigable capacity at a dis
lance below may thereby be impaired.

THE MINERS STRIKE is ON.
TELEGRAMs TO PRESIDENT RATCH-
FORD SHOW THE ORDER HAS
BEEN GENERALLY OBEYED.
NUMBER OF MEN OUT IS 100000
This Number Will Be Augmented.
There is Some Doubt About the
Course of the West Virginia
Miners.

Columbus, Ohio, July 4.-Telegrams
received by President Ratchtord Of the
United Mine Workers today indicate that
the order for general strike of the
miners has been complied with generally
throughout Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and
western Pennsylvania and in sections of
West Virginia and Kentucky. 1t will
take several days, however, to determine
with any degree of accuracy the number
of men involved. President Ratchford
roughly estimates the number at 100000.
He thinks the prospects are now better
than in 1894, when general strike was
inaugurated. At that time the scale of
prices was being paid in many mining
localities notably West Virginia, where
a majority of the miners continued at
work, and thereby greatly weakened the
strike. President Ratchford hopes that
the West Virginia miners may now be
brought into line, inasmuch as they are
receiving wages far below the scale and
their condition is not any better than that
of the miners in other states. The coal
products of West Virginia has increased
so rapidly in the past few years that the
output of the state now exceeds the out
put in Ohio. During the strike of 1891
trouble was caused by the shipment C +
Ohio miners endeavoring to stop this
traffic. The railroad companies promptly
appealed to the state for protection and
almost the entire Ohio National guard
was placed in the field.
President Ratchford does not believe
there will be any repetition of these
troubles in the present strike. Special
efforts are to be made to enlist the SYM
pathy of the West Virginia miners.
President Ratchford is encouraged to be-
lieve this may be accomplished by the
fact that the miners have sipnifiad thpir
intention to strike in many places where
efforts to enlist their corporation have
failed on previous occasions.
President Ratchford has received telc-
grams from number of Pittsburg opera
tors asking permission to operate their
mines at scale prices. These requests are
all refused as it would work an injustice
not only to other operators, but to their
miners as well.
AS to the probable duration of the
strike, President Ratchford expects that
it will last several weeks at least. The
fact that there is a fair supply of coal
in stock and the demand for domestic
consumption is small, will have a ten
dency to prOlOng the suspension. The
contracts for coal for lake shipment will
cause the greatest trouble. The bulk of
these contracts are held by Pittsburg
operators. but the Ohio operators also
have a fair share. The Ohio operators
have not yet held a conference to con-
slider the matter, but are considerably
worried. While they say the strike is
ill-timed and likely to fizzle out, they will
close down their mines for short time
at least. until they can determine how
general the suspension is. A partial suss
pension only in the Pittsburg distri(
would he ruinous to their business shoultS
the Ohio miners refuse to work.
