Lake Erie is undoubtedly serious. More
trouble is apprehended from the passing
through of West Virginia coal than from
the partial operation of one or two mines
through protection given by the United
States marshals. As was seen three years
ago, the small force of marshals is made
quate to prevent the stopping of coal
trains. Half of Ohios national guard was
unable to cover the storm center in east
ern Ohio counties of Jefferson, Belmont,
Guernsey and Stark three years ago.
Cincinnati, Ohio, July S-The Com
mercia[Tribune's special from Dillon
vale Ohio says:
This town is now being patrolled by
United States deputy marshals, twenty
six of whom were sworn in by United
States Commissioner Richards today
AT 4 o'clock this afternoon three
whistles were blown from the mines to
notify the strikers that they could re-
turn to work tomorrow. That some 900
strikers will make an attempt to go to
work is certain, but it is doubtful if they
will be allowed to enter the mines, the
strikers being determined that no work
shall be done until the difficulty is set
tied. Marshal Devauney, who spent the
day in visiting Long Run, Steubenville
and other points, returned tonight with
twenty-four deputies to escort those who
are willing to work. Tomorrow will be
an eventful day. The men have spent the
day discussing the situation and crowds
have been congregating hourly. The
strikers have received word that large
bodies Of men from Wheeling Creek.
Bellaire and other neighboring points
have started for this town to lend their
assistance in preventing men from re-
turning to work tomorrow. Anticipating
trouble, Receivers Hevrick and Blick-

RAILROAD TAX MATTER.
Bismarck Tribune

Ths special state tax commission to
adjust and settle if possibles the de-
linquent land taxes of the Northern Pa
citic railroad completed its conference
yesterday with the representatives of the
road and formal proposition was made
to Tax Commissioner Fernald and Land
Commissioner Phipps for the settlement
of the taxes. The commission agreed to
waive all claims for unpaid taxes prior to
the year 1889. In settlement of the tax
for the year 1889 the commission agreed
TO accept one-h half of the face of the tax,
without penalty and interest. For the
unpaid taxes for the year 1890, 81, 90, 90
and 81 the commission agreed to accent
one-half of the face of the tax, penalty
and interest. For the year 1896, the COM
mission agreed to accept the face of the
tax without penalty and interest.
Before making this proposition to the
road, the membess of the commission dis
cussed the tax matter for two days with
the representatives of the road. The dis
puted taxes on lands that had not been
patented and where within the indemnity
strip. the commission agreed to waiv,.
The final proposition submitted was be.
lieved by the board to he fair, and to bs
as far in the way of compromise as the
state would 60.
The representatives of the road on the
other hand submitted proposition of
what they believed the road would be
willing to pay in settlement of these
taxes. In the counties of Logan, Em
mons, Kidder and Stutsman, they would
pay Is per cent of the face of the tax as
levied for the different years without any
denalty and interest. In the counties of
Burleigh, Mclean, Mercer, Morton,
Oliver aud Wells 80 per cent of the face
of the tax as levied. and in the counties
of Barnes, Billings, Dlckey, Foster,
Griggs. LaMoure, Ransom, Richland,
Sargent, Stark, Steele, Eddy and M:1n-
t0sh 40 per cent of the face of the tax
Ihls proposition Is to pay about half of
the amount or a little less, which tho state
agreed to accept. The representatives of
the road present disclaimed any authority
to settle the taxes, but stated that they
could recommend settlement, and it ia
believed the recommendation would be
acted on by the com pany. They inti-
mated, however, that they would not
recommend the payment Of the amounts
as set forth in the proposition of the
msmbers of the commissions and the state
on the other hand will not accept the
proposltion offered by the representa-
tivrs of the c,,mpaay. Thuss the matter
stands and there is no settlement of the
disputed taxes in sight. The matter will
probably have to be settled in courts.

ON The CHARACTER OF LINCOLN.

ON The CHARACTER OF LINCOLN,
At the Washburn court house Tuesday
evening we'll filed house consisting of

A choir composed principally of teach
ers cf the county. with Mrs. G. Robinson,
at the organ, opened the evening pro-
gramme with the song "America," and
upon the close of an excallent rendition.
the speaker was introduced tu the au-
di' nee by Superintendent Holtan, where
upon. after few introductry remarks,
Mr.. Devine at once entered upon SUBJ
ject ever dear to HIM sin CO childhood
"a review of the greatest of Anerican,-
and one in future will live a. great
figure of the worlds history-Abraham
Lincoln. He then gscounted many scenes
in Lincoln's boyhood days-of his rafting
on the Mississippi-of the scene at the
auction block where l6 year old colared
girl was being sold into slavery. Then OF
his services in the Black Hawk war and
of his early struggles as lawyer and en-
broya politician. In many of these in
cidents-ciphers though they were-the
key OF interpretation was plain-that
God was raising him up for some great
mission-and that mission was striking
the bonds from four million slaves aud
the great central figure in the perpetuity
Of the American UAion Of States.
Mr.. Devine dwslt at considera BILE length
on Lincoln's administration of the Plesi.

him, and closed with a p athletic account

AMERICAN HEIREss DRAIN.
MinneaOOliS Tribune.

i, It ia estimated that American heiressess
Eray annually to foreign titled fortuue hunt
ers the aggregate sum of $30,O0o,0O0,
to induce the titled foreigners to marry
them Re erring to this evil one of the
United States senators, in speecl, on the
floor of the Senate. the other day, COIN
pared such American heiresses to ''heifers
fattened for the foreign market"-that is
to say, fattened with their fathers mili
Ons which makes them attractive in the
eye of their arlstocratic lords. So prev
;alent has become the fashion of rich
American women; marrying foreigners,
that She last New York ,legislatuse,f felt
constrained to pass law to protect such
woman and theil heirs from the dis posi-
ton of their husbands to grab every
thing they possess. This law provides
that any woman born a citizen of the
shall marry an alien, and the fereign born
children and descendants of any such
woman shall, Notwithstanding her or
their residence or birth in foreign
country, be entitled to take, hold. convey
aad devise real property situated within
tho State of New York. Under this law,
if New York heiresses will leave the bulk
of their property at home when they
marry abroud, they will be able to control
it. aud will thus be able to command good
treatment from their respective sprouses.
When a foreign fortune hunter gets the
woman and her property into his own
cont rol the result is usually much misery
for the American woman, rs the numer-
Gus separations and law snits going out of
international marriages testify.
It would be be ter if the American
heiresses would marry Americans and
save the $3O,OOO.OO0 drain; but as there.
many who prefer foreigners, it is we'll that
our laws should offer them such protec
tiOn as is possible from she results of their
folly. ....

A SUNDAY FOURTH OF JULY.
st. Paul PiOneer-Press,

~s's.
The Fourth of July coming on Sunday
this year. the suggestion is made that in
stead of RELOCATING all Observance of the
holiday to the following Monday. only the
following Monday, only the noisier and
merrier of the customary demonstrate! ons
be thus postponed, and that in every
church the customary services be SO varied
as to give the whole the cast of patri-
otid religious celebration. Let the church
buildings he decorated with flags and flow
ers. Let the music consist manly of pat.
riotic airs. Let cornet players and brass
bands SO pressed into service as we'll as
the organ. Let tho Declaration of Inde-
pendence be read, and let laymen pos
sessed of the gift of oratory supplement
with addresses the remarks of the paster.
American liberty had its birth in the
churches OF the old thirteen color.s.sa..S
The churches of old New England we're
the rallylng places of the Revolutionary
patriots. Of late years the churches have
to great degree segregated themselves
from the purposes of citizenship and pat
riotism; and the segregation has not been
good for the country. Neither has it been
good for the churches. The Christian
Citizenship leagues recognize this fact,
and would bring the churches again Tito
harmony with the best aspirations of cit
lzenship. The Sunday Fourth of July
affords a s plend'd opportunity for pro-
claiming the Identification of Christian
citizenship with every patriotic purpose,
and it should not be neglected.

About NIB iolence Again.

Mandan Pioneer: The Washburn
LEADER is afraid that if there should be
any violence towards the Indians at Viii.
Transport, charged with murder, the 800
Sioux warriors within a days ride, would
go on the war path What does the
Lsao:ss -uppose the e-sodiets are at Fort
Yates for? A sudden uprising would be
difficult to start and 1T would be impossi.
BILE to keep it quiet.
The Pioneer like the Bismarck
Tribune, is slightly in error in
what the LEADER said in refer
ence to the Spicer murder trial
at Williamsport. We remem-
Der that for several days, after
the tragedy and when many peo-
pie had viewed the place where
the murders occurred, it seemed
then to them, the bad work of a
lone Indian. Even since the con-
viction of Codotte, there is yet
many who believe tho crime to
have been committed by the two
half drunken Indian boys as
told under terror of their first
arrest and commitment. But
of these things we will learn
more about when the young
Williams are hung. 1t was only
of threats that in case the al
lodged accomplices were not al
so convicted by a jury composed
of some of Emmons Coun;ys
best citizens, and that these
merely suspected accomplices
would be hung by an irrespon
sible mob. that the LEADER cried
out,-''go slow with mob vio-
lence.''
And for the Pioneer editor S
especial information we would
say and In the history of bloody
Indian uprisings in this coun-
try the big brass drum or Fourth
of July orators are not Indian
factors. Their work is of the
silent and swift kind. Witness
the massacre of 600 whites in
Minnesota, in August 1862; of
the destruction of the Platte
river settlements, February $685.:
of the massacre at Fort Phil
Kearney, December 1866, and
several other instances where
Sioux Indians have taken a
hand. They ma.' beat their
drums and TOM toms,--som
times. but it. is after business
hours when they do.
And then, the history Of from
tier garrisons las we have seen
them-that when located in a
section where an Indian up
rising occurs-the soldiers do
vel! when they can protect
themselves.

In his new book elbow to write Fiction.'
Sherwin Cody saws: "One of the first
points made, and one of the strongest,
and seemingly chat upon which all the
others rest Is that personal equilibrium
IA absolutely necessary to the successful
writing of fiction. Controlling other
peoples emotions is like crontroll,ng one;s
own. aud for thi, reason the young. in
general, cannot write; they feel too deeply.
1t is those who have felt and known and
who look back at wide experience who
can write. They understand the laws of
emotion and can therefore manipulate the
emotional wires successfully"
