STRIKING MINERS
Say The Negroes Shall Not Work

Say The Negroes Shall Not Work.
PANA, ILL, Aug. 29.-The vague
feeling of uneasiness which has per-
vaded Pana since the mine operators
began to import negroes from the
south is more pronounced this morn
ing. Trouble of serious nature is
brewing ana it may break forth in all
its fury at any time. 1t is believed
that within few hours, possibly 4S,
peace methods will be abandoned as
useless. THE negroes shall not
work." is an answer that is usually
received when the strikers are asked
whe they intend to use force.

LONDON, Aug. 29.-The czar's ap-
peal for universal peace has stirred all
Europe. 1t is the topic of the hour
with press and public. Diplomats and
politicians, comforting on the matter.
are trying to find the reason for the
czar's unexpected effort to ward of the
calemities that threaten the world.
LONDON, Aug. % The press gen.
orally approves the czar's proposal.
The Daily News, commenting editor
tally on the 'czars proposal, says that
by his message the czsr has acquired
more righteous and more enduring
fame than belongs to the proudest con-
queror of his house.
There is no quarter whence such a
manifesto could come and make such a
profound impression. He can
not be suspected of self interest 1t
may be taken for granted as a matter
of course that the British government
will accept the invitation to take part
in the conference.
The Telegraph says: Rarely if ever
was there more important document

paper approves the theory of disarma-
ment, but thinks it impossible. 1t
draws attention to the Chinese ques-

The Times eulogizes the proposal of
the car. 1t says: "Whatever the is-
sue is, the proposal must forthwith be
discussed in practical spirit by prac-
tical statesmen of civilized nations.

UNIVERSAL PEACE.
The Gar Makes An Appeal For Gen.
eraI Disarmament.

PETERSBURG Aug. 29.-The car
has handed a note to the foreign am
bassadors in which he prOpounds q
proposition to secure lasting peace in
the old world With humani-
tartan ideas he urges the
powers of Europe to reduce
their standing armies and navies to a
minimum, leaving only enough men to
protect the governments from internal
disorder. He declares the present
moment to be favorable to adopt uni
versal peace.
He urges the retrenchment of armies
as the only effectual meaus of insuring
to all people real aud durable peace,
which will result by putting an
end to the progressive development of
present armaments. He points out
that during the past twenty years all
governments have been increasing
their armies in hope of preservation
OF peace, but this has been a false
idea.
This suggestion he declares is a much
better guarantee for peace than huge
armies, which burden people with tax
alton and prevent commercial progress
and prosperity of the countries which
maintain them.
He urges that the cultivation of the
intellectual and physical strength of
the people be the goal for which all ma
tions should strive, believing that
national culture, economic progress
and production of wealth will be of
more value to all countries than intim-
idation of the masses by force of
arms.
He says the progressive armament
of any large bodies of men should be
instantly stopped. The czar's note
ends by inviting representatives of
various nations, duly accredited by
their governments, to meet here and
discuss the problem.
In conclusion the note says: ''This
conference will be, by the help of God,
a happy presage for the century which
is about to open. 1t would converge
into one powerful focus the efforts of
all states that are seriously and
seeking to make the great
universal peace triumph
over the elements of trouble and dis
cord. 1t would at the same time ce-
ment their agreement by corporate
upon certain principles
of European security whereupon rests
the welfare of all peoples"

county services the sum OF $4oo pei
annum, the present sum is 5000,
and the county clerk the sum OF
$500, since the election fixed at
$1,000, the county assessor to re-
ceive the sum of $2 per day, the
one who drew the resolution now
receiving So per day. Mr.. Stewart
and Mr.. Lutz were elected upon
this platform and Mr.. Parrish, the
present assessor, appointed by Mr..
Stewart since the election, and one
of the brethren in a great speech
at the court house on the eve of the
election, held up his hand to high
heaven and pledged him and them
to these conditions, and great was
the applause thereat. After care
full examination of the records at
he court house, we find first, that
Mr.. Stewart, the county judge
has drawn regularly each month
the sum of $50.
Second, We find that the clerk
has drawn the sum of $Ioo per
month. and also a large sum as
depuyt hire.
Third, We find that Assessor
Parrish has drawn $3 per day, and
for his deputies over $2. So much
for reform IN salaries under the re-
form resolution.
Now we want to go on record as
saying that the sum received by
Mr.. Lutz as clerk is not a sum
sufficient to do the work of the
clerks Office and pay his deputies
and keep the Office up and accom-
modate the the people. Neither
can the assessor do the work of as
sessing the county correctly and
according to law for the sum of So
per day. He should have 81 after
he pays his expenses in going over
the county, if he DOES visit the
people as required by law. he will
not have much left, but the present
assessor has copied the roll from
old records and, therefore no assess
ment has been made this year.
AS for the Office of county Judge,
the county and probate courts meet
only once i'll two months and there
fore the county judge really per-
forms only about three or four days
work in two months, or. in other
words, he receives about $40 for
each day employed by the county
in court business. Now "in all
candor," if Mr.. Stewart has broken
his promises so soon in county af.
fairs, if elected for economy and re-
form in city affairs, he might also
be guilty of broken promises in
connection with city affairs. One
piece of economy that the Judge
has practiced over at the cour,
house, we hardly think meets the
approval of the people, is the dis
continuance of the janitor. Mr.
Kubler was receiving SIS from the
county and S. per month from the
clerk and sheriff, making a total O
SIG per month for his services
But Mr.. Kubler made an offer tc
Mr.. Stewart that, if it was in the
interest OF economy, he would serve
for $40 per month. Since the udge
discontinued the janitor he ,ha:
moved his Office into the clerks
office, and the court also meets in
the clerks Office, and Mr.. Ross and
Mr.. Lutz, who are still paying the
Janitor, are really the ones who are
paying for the economy of the
county, if there is any economy

That Reform Ticket.
EDITOR LEADAR:-

the notices were posted, calling a
citizens meeting 10 nominate city
ticket, Mr. J. F. Stewart wrote an
other set of notices and gave them
to Mr.. w. H. Alexander, who had
them posted; the said notices stating
that a mass meeting of the citizens
of Toledo would be held day later
than the regular citizens meeting,
for the purpose of nominating cit
izens' reform ticket; one pledged
to economy and reform i'll affairs of
the city. AS result of the meet
ing, w. H. Alexander and J. F.
Stewart were nominated as stand
ard bearers for reform and econ
omy.
AS to Mr.. Alexander's reform
and economy, I have nothing to
say, for he has lived in Benton and
Lincoln counties for the past thirty
years and the people are the ones
to judge OF his economy and re-
form.
As to Mr.. Stewart and reform, I
desire to say a few words, for the
reason that he is new resident in
this county and it has come to
pass of late years, that reformer
from the Grasshopper state is some
times looked upon with a little
distrust.
Now, as Mr.. Stewart has, and is
now posing as reformer and de-
sires to be elected to the city coun-
Gil upon that issue, let us see what
his record for economy and reform
is in this county and city.
The moon has fulled only once
since Mr.. Stewart called upon
Messrs. Z. L. Gowell, L. M. Starr,
c. B. Crosno and B. F. Jones, who
are members of the city council of
Toledo, separately, and asked them
to bond the city of Toledo in the
sum of Five Thousand Dollars,
said sum of money to be used in
building count house, to be do
mated to the county of Lincoln,
upon certain conditions. These
men suggested that possibly the
people of Toledo would not sonsent
to vote these bonds for the county,
and one of the members even hint
ed that he, ON. StewarD in the re-
cent past, was opposed to voting a
few hundred dollars bonds for the
purpose of building city bulkhead.
Thereupon, Mr.. Stewart said that
we need not let the people have
anything to say about that, that
the Legislature was in session and
we or he could go down to Salem
and get an enabling act passed al
lowing the city of Toledo to in
crease her indebtedness to $4,000.
Mr.. Stewart was told in very plain
English that If he wanted a court
house, to go and do as he had
pledged himself to do before the
last election, for every citizen knows
that Mr.. Stewart pledged himself
before election TO the citizens OF
Toledo and the Indians on the ST.
letz that if they would vote for him
that court house would he under
construction after the first regular
meeting in August, and a glance at
the old files OF the LEvDER will
show his position on that question
Now, if Mr.. Stewart desires to
be elected as a reform candidate in
city affairs, it might be we'll enough
to examine into the affairs of the
county over which he presides with
such dignity. Let us see what his
administration has done in the way
of economy and reform. First, il
we are not mistaken, Mr.. Stewar,
was elected upon a platform for

only from 600 to 500 feet They are
isolated from each other, and do not lie in
a chain or range; but each peak rises by
itself from perfectly level plain.
The valleys between the mountains
vary in breadth from half mile to four or
five miles, and several small creeks or
rivulets are found running through them,
whose banks are frinGed with luxuriant
growth of cottonwood trees; while other
portions of the valleys are covered with
the mesQuit, a low, scraggy bush or tree,
peculiar To southern ATTITUDES. IL bears a
long, slim bean, which, though pleasant to
the taste, is not a fit article of diet
The most singular thing To me was
that the mountains were composed eX-
clusively OF great masses of dark-gray
sandstone, and only covered with a very
slight layer OF earth; so slight, indeed,
that it could sustain no vegetation save "a
sickly tuft OF moss or grass. with here and
there an exceptional locality; while the
plain in which they stood is entirely
devoid of rock. In many of these eIeya-
tons the layers of stone had a dip of
nearly IS degrees.
The plain is covered with the best
quality of grass, affording pasturage for
immense herds of buffalo, antelope, and
horses. The mountains and river take
their name from a very considerable
branch of the Pawnee Indians, called the
Wichitas
Although long possessing separate
political OrCaniZations-If the aborigines
can be said to have politics at all-the
