The Strikers, Riot in Illinois.

From Philadelphia, Pa. Ledger, Republican, Oct 10.
The serious trouble, accompanied by
frequent riots and disturbances, that has
existed in the coal region of Illinois, near
Pana, eliminated yesterday in battle at
Virden, in which many lives were lost.
The reports from the scene of the conflict
are indefinite and contradictory. The sher-
if of the county wired the Governor that
100 men were killed, but the Governor
places the loss at from nine to fifteen killed,
with as many more wounded. The strike,
attended by frequent outbreaks of violence,
has been in progress several weeks, and
recently the mine owners have been I'M
porting negro laborers from the South to
replace the white miners, who refused to
accept the terms offered Yesterday when
a train load of Southern negroes was en-
tering Virden, where 1000 armed strikers
were lined up awaiting their arrival, the
shooting opened between the idle miners
and the fifty or sixty guards who were on
the train to protect the imported laborers,
and the fight was kept up for some time,
with disastrous results, the armed deputies
in the stockades built for the protection of
the imported labor taking part in the bat
tle Soldiers have been sent to the scene,
but the force is thought to be wholly in
adequate to maintain order if the strikers
are in fighting mood.
The responsibility for the deplorable
loss of life has not been placed. One ac-
count charges the railroad police with pre-
cipitats and i'll advised action, while the
sheriff statement leads to the inference
that Governor Tanner has been extremely
remiss in responding to the sheriff s call
for aid to help him keep within bounds
thousands of armed and militant strikers,
who were terrorizing the country. The
situation is made more difficult by the
very evident posing of the demagoglc
Governor, who apparently has an eye rather
to the coming campaign and his chances
for United States Senatorship, to which
he has the hardihood to aspire, than to
his responsibilities as the guardian of life
and property and the preserver Of law and
order The Governor is violent IN his
denunciations of the mine operators, when
his immediate duty is to still passion and
not to infame it; to quell riot theoretically
and to stop the bloodshed, whatever may
be the merits Of the controversy between
the strikers and the mine owners.

Davidson and Parr.

The readers of the ADVOCATE will re-
collect Robert c. Davidson, president of
the Baltimore Trust and Guarantee Com
pany, as one of the gentlemen who pre-
dicted great prosperity in the event of Nc
Kinley's election. 1t was to be imme-
date and permanent. Mr.. Davidson ac
tually knew millions of dollars that were
to be invested in Baltimore, so he said, as
soon as Mckinley s election was assured.
1t is probable some Democrats were de-
ceived by this declaration, and voted for
Mckinley and 'sound money" but those
millions are still to come. They have not
arrived, and every business man in Balti-
more knows that the present has been the
dullest year for long time.
This same Mr. Davidson is again talk
ing about ''sound money! in the Balti-
more News, sneering at the Constitution,
and telling about how he will vote Every
body knows that he will vote the Repub-
lican ticket because he is not and never
was Democrat. The Democratic party
took him up and made him Mayor of Bal
timore, under the impression that he was
a Democrat, and he owes all he is and has
to that elevation But for the fact that
he was once Mayor of Baltimore, it is
likely he would not now be president of
the Baltimore Guarantee and Trust Com
pany.
Mr.. Harry A Parr is another man who
attained some notoriety by running up
stream, like a fish. He used to train
with the Democratic party, but no one ever
heard of him until he paraded himself as
''Gold Democrat the kind of a Demo
crat who always votes the Republican tick
ct. We do not suppose Mr.. Parr ever had
any conception of Democratic principles
He probably believes in such nonsense as
''intrinsic value" ''iat money! &C. 1t
never occurred to him that all money is
fat and his mind is too obtuse to compre-
bend it. 1t would be useless to argue to
such man that intrinsic value is falla-
cy IF he were cast upon barren island,
with thousand dollars in gold coin, where
there was nothing to be purchased to eat,
he might realize that intrinsic value was a
myth. Nothing else, however, could con-
vince him, and we are not so sure even this
would. STILL this same Harry A. Parr
thinks his opinion is valuable upon public
matters, and his tongue runs glibly when
News reporter calls upon him.
We have no objection to the actions and
opinions of Messrs Davidson and Parr,
but we do object to them posing as Demo-
Gratis while they act and vote with the Re-
publican party. And so far as this paper
has influence they cannot deceive the
people. We will expose them as often as
they appear in public.
