as ex-conyicts as persons likely to become
public charges through their misbehavior.
He warned the mine owners that they
would have to act on their own RESPONSE
bility and assume the blame of whatever
blood might be shed in consequence. After
further efforts to secure protection from
the state authorities the company brought
to Virden trainload of imported men,
guarded by armed deputies The train
was attacked upon it's arrival at the COM
panys works and a fight occurred result
ing in loss of life and many wounds on
both sides.
Disapproval of the act of an avarcious
corporation in making the importations and
Of the governors shufilng policy does not
detract from the blame which rests upon
the strikers for taking the case into their
own hands and firing upon the trainload
of imported miners. They had no right
under the law to oppose by other than
moral force the incoming of the men to
whom their places had been given.
Governor Tanner has issued a statement
in which he charges the company officials
with the crims of murder. He can not
expect the sympathy of thinking people
In this position, for the facts all tend to
fasten even a greater burden of moral re-
poration: first for not preventing the con-
ditions at Virden which encouraged the
strikers to assume the offensive. second for
leaving the company to adopt it's own
measures of self-defense after it had sought
the aid of the properly established agencies.
The governor has seemed in this affair
to assume demagogical attitude of ex-
treme tenderness for the rights of the strk-
ers without seeking to preserve order re-
gardless of the merits of the controversy.
His assumption that the imported miners
would become charges on the state might
have been justified by the facts of his in
innate knowledge. but in acting upon it he
incurred a grave responsibility. The ques-
ton whether the state would be more Sc
riously injured by the possible misconduct
of the imported negroes or by the riots and
bloodshed of yesterday was then open and
should have been positively answered
This affair is quite apart from the labor
problem 1t involves the capacity of the
present governor of Illinois to cope with an
emergency. Had he acted promptly and
effectively at the outset of the trouble he
might have held down both company and
strikers with firm hand and have at all
events preserved the peace at Virden,
which was his primary duty.

Deaf-Mutcs and the Church.

The question of promoting public religious
services for the benefit of deaf mutes has
been broached in the Episcopal convention
and is worthy of serious attention. 1t is
apparent that the deaf can not attend the
ordinary church service with any degree of
satisfaction, for they can not of course
hear the sermons, the Biblical readings or
the music, however much they may enter
into the spirit of the occasion and feel the
influence of the church atmosphere The
only method of extending spiritual comfort
to them on such occasions is by means of
the sign language, and it is obviously i'm
possible that each city church should pro-
vide such Interpretation for the benefit of
the few deaf-mutes within the sphere of its
influence. AS was stated to the convention
yesterday this matter presents many diff
Culties in the way of satisfactory solu-
tion, particularly in view of the denomna-
tonal prejuGices of the individuals who are
thus deprived of hearing and speech. 1t
may be impossible to reconcile these diff
culties and provide a church of such uni
versatility of doctrine and ritual that the
predictions Of the Geaf-mutes will be
overcome. But it might be possible to as
semble the deaf-mutes of each community
INTO single organization for the purpose
of listening to helpful addresses upon re-
hgious and moral topics. Locally the prob
lem is comparatively of easy solution for
the institution at Kendall Green affords an
exceptional opportunity for all those of the
speechless, silent world to attend Sunday
services. But in other cities little is offered
In the line of such facilities. 1t is well
therefore that the subject has been pre-
sented to the convention of the Episcopal
church. Its final solution may be found
through an inter-denominational move
ment, but the initiative must be taken by
one of the established churches

The Trouble With Hawthorne.

Mr.. Julian Hawthorne, whose failure as a
novelist drove him into the employment of
Mr. Hearst. is instructed by Mr.. Hearst to
assail the commission on the conduct of
the war, and so he expresses his supreme
dissatisfaction with the President, the
commission, and such perjured and igno-
rant witnesses as Lee, Wheeler and
Boynton. The trouble with Hawthorne is
that he is crushed beneath a great name.

The People Are DisSusted With the

From the Philadelphia Lcdg.

People who believe that the day of the
one-cent newspaper is inevitable we think
wide of the mark. The very opposite we
deem to be the exact truth. The cheap yel-
low journalism has been overdone The
people are tired of it, and the reaction is
coming. To suppose that the vogue of the
hideous mass of ridiculous, inane vulgar
mendacious stuff that masquerades under
the name of news in the fiamboyant chear
journals Is anything but a passing craze is
to wholly misjudge the sanity and basic
common sense of the people. They are dis.
gustei with 1t, and we have the best reas-
ons, based on the most irrefra gal Bile testi.

Aaolph Rosenbecker. with Redpath

this country in 1869. where ne joined the
famous Theodore Thomas Orchestra. He
travelled eight seasons as first violin With
that organization. and Mr.. Thomas often
said that Mr. Rosenbecker was one OF
the most talented musicians he ever had
in his orchestra. In 1871 Mr.. Rosenbecker
came TO Chicago and founded an orches-
ira whose fame has gone all over the
country. AS violinist Mr.. Rosenbecker
has always been considered as one OF
the best in America. In 1873, when the
great violinist August Wilhelmj gave a
series of concerts in connection with the
Rosenbecker orchestra. Wilhelmj made
the remark that, should sickness prevent
MIN from appearing in any of his con-
