The Pana Troubles.

PANA, Ill, Nov. 19.-Fourteen ne
groes employed by the Penwell Coal
Company, armed With rifles, at a. m.
to-day opened fire on frame cottage
which was occupied by union miners
One of the white men was shot in the
side. The negroes then rushed back
inside the stockade of the Penwell Coal
Company. The mine owners are de-
nouncer, as they furnished the negroes
with the fire arms. 1t is believed here
that a repetition of the South Carolina
riots will take place here soon. The
white people Of the county are aroused
and lynchiug will be the order OF things
before long i the imported men fail to
leave. Great excitement preveils to.
dey. Several additional encounters
betwt en- union mixers and the negroes,
in which special deputy sberifs had a
hand, occurred in East Pana and the
Soringdale addition to the city last
uight, in which several were wounded.
Sheriff Coburn's chief Pana deputy,
sgd Watts, of Taglorville, had his

onstrates the fact that the workingmen both in the cities and in the agricultu- ral districts of this State are not to be fooled longer by idle clamoring of windy dema gogues, who make loud pre- tensions as to what they have done and will do in favor of the toiling masses. In the future laboring men of this State, in voting, will be governed by reason and Judgment and will not fol- low the blind leadership of self-consti- tuted champions of their interests, who talk much and do little for them.
 The vote in California is also a mag nificent indorsement of President Me- Kinley's administration. It demon- strates conclusively that the people of this State are believers in his wisdom and patriotism.
 "To the indefatigable labors of Major Mclaughlin and his associates on the Republican State Central Committee the thanks of all Republicans are due, as well as to the Republican and in- dependent press of California, for the result to-day.
