No Plea for Mercy to Deputies.

Widespread as is the strike in the Ha-
zleton Pa.) region. there has been no
concerted action by the men at the diff
ferent mines. All the strikers are work
ing for the same end-an increase Of
about 10 per cent. in wages-but they go
about as separate clans. Some Of them
are raising a side issue about the COM
pany store, where they are subject to its
abuses, but others have no complaint OF
this nature to make. At the Coke Bros
mines at Drifton, Stockton and Eckley
the men are paid in cash. They had been
uneasy, however, for some time and this
uneasiness resulted in about three hun
dred n:en at Eckley joining the strikers.
To great extent the strikers have been
restrained from open acts of violence by
the priests, whose influence prevails to
a remark able degree. At several turbu-
lent meetings which threatened to end III
bloodshed the prelates have gone among
the excited foreigners, commanding 81
lence and forcing them back. They warn
the men that to destroy the coal coRl-
panies property is only to take food from
their own mouths by shutting off future
employment. The priests, however, have
no plea for mercy to the sheriff's depu-
ties who shot the men at Lattimer, and
some of them are active members of the
committee that is to push the murder
| charges in court. 1t is now certain that
no attempt will be made to arrest the
deputies so long as troops are camped at
Hazleton. General Gobin's declaration
that he will protect the sheriffs men Just
as long as he is in command has cooled
the ardor of those who were for going
about the matter hastily. The strike
leaders and their attorneys deny the right
Of General Goblin to enforce such an or
der, but they admit that he has the pow
er. District Attorney Fell, it is said, is
against an immediate serving of war
rants, though he is interested in the pros
ecutiors

SATURDAY, APRIL 3.
A REPLY.

In recent issue of the Republi-
can appeared remarks detrimental
to the late Baxter Springs Normal
and Business College. We have
been requested to say something in
reply, but the following from a
lover of schools aud friend of
Prof. Bowman will do. Certain it is
that no one but a base. contempt
BILE coward would utter such re.
marks as are alluded to in the fol-
lowing communication, and certain
ii is that the author of them did
more to ruin the public schools of
Baxter than any thing" else:
"An article of n most vicious ma
ture emanating, it would seem, from
the fount of jealousy, appeared in
the Republican dated March 10 I'm.
der heading of Baxter 1t makes
n statement unworthy of one who
desires material blessings for Bax-
ter, viz: a school that had ruined
our public school went down aud
over its putrid remains you may
now build what the people may re-
quire, permanent free graded
school, This statement evidently
originated from one unfamiliar
with the facts, as the intention OF
the promoters of the college was
not to to interfere in any way with
the public schools, but to give a
course of study far enough adj
vanced to make it possible for the
common school graduates to con-
tinue their work here. This idea
was carried out, the first year of the
enterprise. Then it was found that
not enough funds were available
to have more than five months of
school. Also the expectations of
the managers were not realized as
to the number of students that
would be drawn TO their school.
These two conditions forced Mr..
Bowman to lower the grade of his
school to admit those students who
could not take the higher work and
who, were it not for his school.
would have been idle for about six
months. Had this school been a
success il would have been q God.
send to Baxter from two stand
points. First, it would have given
Baxter good schools, something
that they cannot have by their own
efforts. Second. the money which
students would have spent here
would have put much more in cir
culation. College towns that are
college towns, such as this
would be, live from the revenue de-
rived from the students. Over $780,.
D0O year is spent by the students
of Lawrence. Baker University
students spend 100000 per year.
and il only has about 800 students.
Il think ! have illustrated enough.
However, the school was not a sue
cess. Is il generous to call the re-
mains of so worthy an enterprise
'putrid: Can you prove that the
Baxter Springs Normal and Bust
ness College ruined the public
schools: Look into your own soul
and ask, what have l done for the
good of Baxter that is more worthy
than the object of the promoters
you so ungenerously kick-while
they are down.
