THE KILLING AT HAzELToN.

There could be no more deplorable oc-
currence than the killing of a score or
more Hungarians by the deputy sheriffs
at Hazelt0n. Pa The whole country
was eongratulafing itself that the great
cca4 miners strike was not to be
marked by bloods(hed. and there was
every prospect that there would be
none until this affair of Friday hap
pened. Some q were killed out of a
crowd of about 1870; that is Is ner cent
of the number of the crowd fired upon,
and it is simply terrific
Public sentiment wifi generally con-
denim the sheriff and his deputies Had
they clubbed the Hungarians with their
guns and pistols when they set upon
them. There would have been no con-
demnatipn Of their action. An officer
Of the law should be more coog-headed
and conservative than strikers or
crowds of men under excitement usu-
ally are. and by such GOODNESS and con-
servatfsm many clashes can be avoided
Had this course been pursued at Hazel
ton there would have been no neces-
sity for recourse to shooting.
Before Sheriff Martin and his deputies
are condemned out of measure all the
facts in the case should be ascertained.
Anyone at all familiar with the history
Of strikes knows that the officers of the
law have to put up with much taunting
and many insults, and that strikers and
their synDataizers but too frequently
go as far as they dare in defying the
officers Of the law, much further than
they would think Of going in ordinary
times. or than they would be allowed
TO in such times. And this is done SO
much in times of strikes that it seems
almost impossible tf1at the officers of
the law should restrain themselves.
All this is not said in e2tenuation Of
the certainiz regrettable If not crimi-
nal act of Sheriff Martin and his depu-
ties. but to draw attention to the neees-
sity of Withholding final judgment until
all the facts i'm the case are known I'M
til both sides are heard
THE killing of the Hungarians will
surely prompt an inquiry by the Aus
Hungarian government and this
government win be called to make an
investigation. Already Governor Hast
ings mas issued a proclamation and is
taking such steps as the case seems to
require. From an International point of
view the case cannot have such a bad
aspect as did the New Orleans lynching-
of Italians some years ago.

a STRAW.


Straws sometimes tell which way the
wind blows, and at times they are quite
valuable. Many have been convinced
in their own minds from which quarter
the non-Dartisan wind blew, but tlley
have net been able TO see the straw
which directly indicated it. Many have
been certain tl1at the wind came from
Republican quarters and was intended
TO be used TO aid the G. o. P. shin to
make headway. This has been vehem-
entity denied by non partisan Republic
ans, but a. very large straw has been
discovered which shows exactly from
what quarter the non-parti9an wind
blows. This straw is in Brigham City,
which is a strong Republican town.
There t(he Republicans refuse to have
anything to do with a, non partisan
movement, feeling sure that they can
carry the town and manage affairs. The
Republicans of Brigham City do net
want any bipartisan ticket simply
because they have nothing to gain by
it from a party point of view. Why
doesn't the chairman of the Republican
state committee use his influence in
behalf Of on-partisansnip with the
Brigham City Republicans instead OF
Geyoting so much of it to attempts to
convert salt Lake City Democrats to
the idea?

ANTI-LYNCHING CONVENTION.

Rev Abraham Grant of Philadelphia,
bishop of the First African Methodist
Episcopal diocese, was in Boston the
other day, and was interviewed as to
the proposed anti-lynching convention
OF which he is at the head. He said:
The object of this convention is,
first, to rake into consideration the re-
ported crimes brought against the race.
Second. if such be true, to find the
cause. Third. to seek remedy. There
are hundreds of us who do not believe
that of1e-half of the reported crimes are
true. In Barbados, dney have 1900
white inhabitants. and $4,000 cclorea,
and no one to this day can remember
when such crimes as are charged to
the American negro took place. and as
I am Informed by the Inhabitants, the
same is true in Canada
The intention of this convention is
to get a cool and careful consideration
Of this all-inportant question We want
to get the cool-ileaded men Of both
races together, and have the press We'll
represented. I nope also to have some
of the southern governors present. who

orally rejoice, there were in circulation
in this country on the 1st of Novem-
Der. 1885, $4SS,552, III; that is, they were
in circulation either actually or by
proxy of the silver certificate. Is it a
matter of rejoicing to have nearly half
a billion of American dollars lose SO
per cent of their bullion value? If the
United states government is pledged to
maintain all it's money of all kinds at
par, as it is. then these depreciating
silver dollars will have to be redeemed
in gold, il gold is demanded for them
This being the case, the government
has but two courses left to it: either to
adopt such policy as will make the
bulhen value of the dollar and its none
tary value the same or else retire all
its silver money. save that which Is
used for subsidiary purposes. Those
are the courses left open to the govern
ment if it has any real desire to Crap
pie with the financial question; to pur-
sue any other course is to beat around
the bush. The man or paper that rejoices
over the fall in the price OF silver re-
joices over nations calamity

A BIT OF NEWSPAPER ENTER
PRISE.

The San Francisco Examiner does
a little af-congratulasing on how it
beat The Associated Press and suca,
journals as the New York Herald. the
World, and dts Sun Francisco contem-
poraries in securing the latest news
from the Klondil1e, which came by the
steamer Cleveland Let the Examiners
story be ted in its own language:
Yesterday morning at 2 o'clock the
men on THE Examiner Journal tug,
stearning through the fog in the marrow
straits, heard the Whistle Of THE Cleve-
land. The other tugs were far away,
and the Examiner men boarded the
steamer and secured the news long in
advance of THAR rivals. This was the
first of the victory, bat it was emily the
beginning When the Herald and World
and Post -Incelligencer and Chronicle,
and Call and Associated Press tugs mad
at las. secured the news, they Thought
OF nothing but to dash for the Cheapest
point at which to handle the dis
patches. That was Seattle, nearly half
a DAVIS journey away.
This was nGf the Examiners style
1t had not snerlt its money in getting
the news from the steamer to walt an
other day to get it TO the public. The
EXAMINER Journal tug was headed for
British territory, and at an early hour
the frs. dispatches were on the wire az
Otter Point. 1t doubled the tolls for
che dispatches had to be caibled across
to American territory before they were
again ON the wire and flashing to San
Francisco. But when it comes to get
ting news the Examiner does not hest
tate at q, little matter of double tolls
The first accounts were rushed from
Otter Pcint to San Francisco. and the
regular edition of the paper was
scarcely out of the way before the dis
patches began to come into the office
The Examiner was prepared for the
event For week 1t had kept an extra
force Of men Tor the emergency. and the
work of getting out an extra edition
was rushed through
The showing that the Examiner made
is known to all our subscribers. For
the first time in the history of San
Francisco journalism THE regular de-
livery was duplicated. Approaching the
interest taken in the news by those
WHO have friends and relatives in the
north, the Examiner called in its car
riers as soon as the regular delivery was
completed, and sent them over their
routes again With the extras. The first
shortly after noon the extra with its
fraiac-t CT news. was ait the last OF the
homes Of It's city subscribers.
And that is how the San Francisco
Examiner brought The news from the
Klondike 1t was great enterprise.

THE SILVER DOLLAR.

At the present time the silver QueS-
ton is not a national issue before the
people any more than is tariff, but no
one doubts that the tariff will be an
issue before the people at a future day;
neither should any one think that the
silver question has been permanently
eliminated from national politics.
The ST Louis Globe-Democrat. an
ardent opponent Of free coinage, con-
tinues to make onslaught upon silver.
1t declares that the SO cent dollar which
was the handspring Of the free sill
verites" in 1896 has become a 40 cent
dollar. 1t then goes on to say:
When a defeated party comes forward
with it's old programme intensified for
mischief the people have a right to re-
gard it as an absurdity, and they
should seize the earliest opportunity
to end its menaces and capacities for
harm. Every voter who is opposed to
the free coinage scheme should cast his
ballot against it steadily until it ceases
to cumber the ground. Elections will
be held this fall in a limited number of
states, but in these the voters have a
chance of giving the 40 cent dollar its
auietus. No one can reasonably vote
for it who is not willing to accept it
equally as a 80 cent dollar or 20 cent
dollar. When the metallic redemption
of a note is three-hfths oblilerated the
fraction that remains will so the same
road, and none who are not willing to
travel down the inclined plane can sup
port the silver Democratic ticket in any
state in November.
The silver question is not one that
concerns one part of the country alone,
and if the silver dollar is going to 80
cents or 20 cents something should be
done. Of these same silver dollars, the
depreciation Of whose bullion valua the
