St. Louis. Aug. ga great effort was
made yesterday morning to stampede
the striking miners back to work at

dismal failure. At all Of the mines
south of the town and several in other
directions fires were lighted, great clouds
of black smoke poured from numerous
stacks, whistles were blown long and
loud, but the ruse did not work, for
only six out of the several hundred
strikers living about weht down into
the bowels Of the earth to dig.

them that they could not camp within
the corporate lines. Mayor Farthing
has deputized forty citizens, white and
colored, to act as marshals. They are
armed with revolvers. heavy clubs. and

ELL5WoRrH NJ ucH y, 1897.
Toae Editor Of the American:
would Ike 10 say just one word in
pehaIt Of tue Woman's relief corps of
our city. We are the largest charitable
| organization in the land.
We number in the State of Maine
alone 2,O-6. In 1896 We expended in cash
e-S3.66; for relief other than money
(Which includes supplies of food, cloth
ing, etc., S652, 21 amount turned over to
Grand Army post to expend for relief,
slS2 is; number of soldiers assisted, 1O2,
AID the number of families assisted, 243.
We are not unknown to the veteran
aud his family, as many OF them in our
city can testify; we are only handful of
loyal women not letting our right hand
know what our left hand doeth. Yet
perhaps there are some mothers and
wives who would be pleased to know that
every Memorial Day we send our mite to
neIp decorate their boys graves in the
sunny South. Does it ever occur to them
that they could join our ranks and i'll
that way do something for their loved
ones sleeping i'll unknown graves?
The post OF Georgia, finding itself
growing weaker, and that the Grand
Army of the Republic is fast passing
away, but hoping the Woman's relief
corps will live on ana keep alive in the
hearts of future generations the deeds Of
heroism of our volunteer soldiers, has
requested the corps of this nation to buy
the Andersonvilie prison property, and
build thereon some lasting monument in
honor OF our brave boys who died in that
miserable pen. SO it was voted at the
national convention at st. Paul to raise
money to buy the property.
THIS corps, which never disobeys orders,
is going to try to raise its share by
asking the public to join in a ten cent
sociable to be held in q. A. X. hall next
Friday evening, March %. Cake and
coffee will be served during the evening.
Members OF w. Il. G., also the wives of
members of the post, are requested to
bring cake.

the applicant can be sent to the public
reading room where Miss l.. A. Belcher,
chairman of the benevolent committee, is
always to be found, and there can secure
temporary relief with less formally.
Far be it from the Kings Daughters to
say that all who beg at the door are I'M
worthy of the aid they receive, but by
thus cooperating with the Hand-in Hand
circle the chance of helping undeserving
people is greatly iessened, and we'll.
conducted charity can be secured for
Ellsworth.
Some changes have been made in the
benevolent committee since last year, but
a revised list will soon be printed, and a
movement is on foot by which it is hoped
that the benevolent work OF the Kings
Daughters can come into closer touch
with the work of the overseers OF the
poor.

During the past few weeks word has
reached the Kings Daughters that GER
tain persons have been begging food and
clothing from door to door throug hout
tn" city, in some cases representing that
they had applied to the Kings Daugh ters
for aid and had been refused
The facts are that only two classes of
persons were ever turned away by the
circIe-those who are being helped by he
city, and those whose condition, having
been carefully Investigated, is found to be
undeservng.
When family places itself in the care
OF the overseers of the poor, we know
that they will receive such help as they
need, and clearly they have passed be-
You'd the help of charitable society.
There are Others who could help them
selves, but so long as a society stands
ready to give help they prefer to receive
1t. Is it not Il greater kindness to the in
div1duaIs and an act of justice to society
that such persons should be thrown on
their own resources?
In its seven years of existence the
ing ClTCIt HAS, UHpDlly, met
with but few families in this last class,
but those few have been discharged from
the visiting list.
The benevolent work of the Hand in
Hand circle was recognized a year ago,
according to the constitutions of associa-
ted charities in larger towns, and vii h
the cooperation of he citizens the circle
believes that we can have a weil-ordered
charity in our own city, but in order o 10
this it is necessary, first of all, to have all
begging from house to house done away
with.
The Kings Daughters have divided the
city into eleven districts, each of which
is III charge of member of the benevo-
lent committee. If each family Will be-
come familiar with these districts and
the member i'll charge, and then viii re-
fer each applicant to the mem Der of the
committee of whose district he is resi-
dent, his case Will be Investigated and he.
will be visited as soon rs possible.

sediment or settling indicates an un.

OHIO DISAFFECTION

The reports which come to us
from Ohio, to the effect that S..na-
tor Hanna is being antagonized by
a large number of the republican
members of the legislator, are ev-
identity the emanations of a diseased
mind. The canvass as conducted
wi h special reference to Senator
Hanna's candidacy for reelection,
and the battle was hotly contested
and fairly won. No genuine re-
publican with the least modicum of
common sense would have the tenn
Gritty to stultify himself by oppos-
ing the expressed will of the peo-
pie. Senator Hanna will return to
the Senate to be with us for some
years to come.

A NEW LEADER ON THE.
SCENE.

That trite old aphorism that "oc-
casion make leaders, is no more
thoroughly Illustrated than in the
recent Ohio campaign For some
reason the colored voters were in a
state of decentralization. Dissatlsfac.
ton reared its hydra headed form
in republican councils, and it be-
came a matter of serious doubt as
to republican success. The strong
personality and brilliant leadership
of Hon. Mark Hanna, the achilles
of modern politics, succeeded in
bringing comparative order out of
chaos as it applied to the. white
element, but it was to the powerful
organizing and directing force of
Hon. Geo. A. Myers, of Cleveland
the efficient member Of the Execu
tive Committee, that we are in.
debted for the pacifcation and
unity of the discordant elements
among the colore1 voters. Hon.
Geo. A. Myers has demonstrated
what force of character intelligence
and devotion to the cause Of right
can do toward the advancement of
the republican party and the best
interest Of the colored people. We
sincerely trust that those in au.
thority will not fail to properly
recognize Mr.. Myers, but retain
him in their confidence and esteem
His devotion has been befttine
rebuke to those who use the party
for their own selfish ends.

If there ever was faithful and
competent man in any court, it is
Mr.. Joseph 6. Potts, clerk of the
Police Court. He was appointed
by the late judge Miller Mr. Potts
is republican which is en- evidence
that Judge Miller didn't allow
politics to enter his mind when he
appointed men to office. Mr.. Potts
is wide awake newspaper man,
VINO is held in high esteem by all
who know him. He has made a
faithful and competent clerk of the
court and it is evident that he will
not be disturbed even after the ap-
pointment of Judge Miller's sue

GET TOGETHER

1t was hoped that the trust ee
board as at present constituted
would be able to get together on all
matters pertaining to the conduct
of our colored schools. The people
are tired of the old time method of
relying upon the white members
to settle disputes arising in the
colored schools. Let the board be
reasonable and concede mutual
rights in all affairs, and a much
needed reform will be effected.
Tue disposition to run things alone
ought to be severely reDuked, and

District Attorney James L Pugh, a
very liberal minded gentleman, and at
present one of the prosecuting attor-
neys in the Police Court, is a candi-
date for Judge Kimball's place. An
other lawyer, coloied man, who is
candidate tor Judge Kimball's place
prepared and circulated petition for
the retention OF bailifs, while the poor
colored jan1tor Hughes must go by
default with no one to say a good
word for him.
It is hoped that Hughes, the faith
full servant of the late Judge Miller
will be retained. There is no reason
for his removal, but there is reason for
a change in two Of the baiiffs in the
Court. There certainly ought to be al
least two colored bailiffs appointed

LETTERS FROM TIE PEOPLE
ADVANTAGES AND DISADVAN-
TAGES OF EDUCATION.
Editor Of the BEE:

! Editor of the BEE:
When we consider the more than
limited opportunities that are at pres
/ ent afforded US to make use of the ed
ucation now acquired, the question
arise, What is the sense of becoming
educated? Does not this training Of
the mind inspire ambition which can't
be quenched-can't even be aimed at ?
Does it not make us despise those
those things to which we are obliged
to resort in order to sustain life +? In
word, it sets the brain afire, and seems
to blot from life all hopes.
But yet admitting, as do and must,
that these are hard pains, let us stop
and think. Are we to simply preserve
ourselves from pain? Have not those
who came before us suffered worse !?
Was it not for us that the same was
endured?
five feel so sensitively the disad-
vantage of not being able to satisfy
our own hopes, will we allow theirs to
GO without our efforts TO satisfy them
Again, you say the advantages are
dreadfully limited Are there any
means more powerful to keep them so
than ignorance Is there any condi-
tion which would make us less capable
of meeting better advantages than ig-
ncrarce? And lastly, is there any
condition at this age of the world
worse than ignorance In my estima-
| ton, none. Therefore, let us become
! educated, regardless of the few ways
We have of using it, and in spite of the
pain such education compels US to en-
dure.
We only prove our Ignorance by not
making use of those advantages that
are given us; more than this, we owe
it to the race and to God to improve
ourselves. Hence let us take all that
is now given us by so doing, we fit
ourselves for the future, which may
hold prospects which the apparent
present disadvantages are building.
By doing this, which our conscience
tells us is right, we may hope to obtain
the many wished-for favors, through
the providence of God in His due time.
If life does not hold for us realiza-
ton of our hopes, let us accept the
same with all possible patience, hoping
that we have done all in our power,
and that the hard-endured pain may be
the thorns plucked from the path OF
those who are to follow.

j U DGE KIMBAEL'S SUCCESS.
SOR.

As an upright aid conscientious
man, Judge Kimball's equals can
not be found. But, as "a Judge of
the Police Court, The BEE, as
we'll as large number of people,
in this community, believe that
he should be retired. Judge Kim
ball is not liberal minded enough
to be Judge, and no man who is
an extremist on any particular
subject, should preside over any
court. There is a great, sup
pressed opposition to Judge Kim
ball, and if those people We're
manly enough to show themselves
he would be surprised.
The BEE is also of the opinion
thAti it would be by far to the best in
terest of the colored people if Pres :
dent Mckinley would retire Judge
Kimball.
The Washington bee., 1897-11-13
NO FAVORITISM.

If Mr., John F. Cook, DR.. G. B.
PGrvis, Mr.. Chaplin Brown, Paul
Dunbar, Daniel Murray and others
would only attend to their own bu-
siness and allow the trustees to at
tend to theirs, these gentlemen
would be doing the public service.
The trustees have right to confine
the examination for musical direc-
tor to the teachers in the schools if
they so desire, and if by so doing it
will keep out tramps and whiskey
bloats, they will be doing the school
a service. In the first place, the
trustees should not have ordered an
examination, but they should have
selected the best person from the
four music teachers now in the
schools. DIR. Shadd, who ordered
an examination, had a pet of his
own to put in. 1t is honed that
the Commissioners, when they ap-
point trustees again, will ascer-
tain whether any of them have
any candidates for positions in the
schools. Let these kickers give the
schools rest. The BEE admires
Dunbar's cheek a little free ad-
vertisampnt has made him "mad."
