A competent witness, connected with
a state board of charities, lately sail
that thirty years Of close official con-
tact with the legislature Of the COM
monwealth in which he lives convince
him that tha moral tone Of legislators
and legislation is improving and not
deteriorating. The Legislative corrup-
ton which actually exists is a menace
to the republic, but 1t does not help
matters to exaggerate the evil and fan
cy it where it does not exist. Some
people believe every evil report they
hear. Accused persons should be pre-
sumed to be innocent until they are
proved guilty-even such maligned
creatures as judges, senator's and con-
greSsmcn.

No system of national quarantine, no
matter how thorough, can prove effec-
tive so long as the yellow plague is al
lowed to breed at our very doors. Ev-
en- national quarantine cannot keep
away from our southern coasts the
contagion that flies in the air or creeps
in on the sluggish West Indian fogs
blown inland. Quarantine does not
prevent the spread Of yellow fever in
Il climate where the conditions are ripe
for it, and we cannot keep the germs
away from our coasts SO long as the
fever is allowed to breed and grow in
Cuba, where it exists from years end
to years end. We must be able to root
it out and destroy it in it's breeding
grounds It must be stamped out of
Havana and other Cuban ports before
a quarantine can prove effective.

Mine Owners Sldo Of It.

CHICAGO, Oct. 14.-President L. Z.
Loucks of the Chicago Virden Coal
company made the following state
ment:
"As to our future action, we propose
to follow in the future, as
we have in the past, legal procedure
in the obtaining of our legal
rights, and shall take proper
steps to secure redress against all who
prompted, aided, abetted or participate
cd in the riots of to-day, whether they
arc miucrs, miners officials, state Of
fcials or others.
I'VE shall determine before we are
through whether the governor of this
state can class our colored population
as cA-convicts, scalawags, etc, with
impunity, and whether the colored
citizens of this country can have their
rights under the constitution set
aside at the whim and pleasure OF
the government of Illinois. We shall
| determine for ourselves and others in
this state just how far governor can
annul and evade the duties placed upon
him by the constitution and statutes
of this state"

Veterans from Rockford, DeKalb, Ore

Veterans from hUCkIOfu, DoAAhloi Wv
gon and Macomb to-day.
Two hundred of the striking miners
who have been sleeping in, the Miners
union hall for several weeks were
somewhat surprised on coming from
their quarters at daybreak to find SOL
diers on picket duty at the door. Each
man was met with: "Hbld up your
hands, The request was good natur-
edly assented to and the men were
searched for firearms. Among the
crowds were several negroes. and from
outward appearances there existed the
best of feeling between the white and
black union miners. Ii
There is feeling among the people
of the town who are not connected
with the mines that the Virden miners
are not responsible for yesterdays
tragedy. They say that all the trouble
had been caused by outsiders who
came here and aroused the local strik-
ers to acts of violence An incident
that bears out this statement is the
! fact that in yesterdays bloody work
not a single Virden miner was killed
and only one slightly injured.
1t was reported early to-day that 100
negroes at Pana had been killed last
night and one of the shafts burned
The report was utterly without truth;
as everything is tranquil at Pana. The
strikers here lily concealed their hap,
piness at the first news and there were
many regrets end expressions Of hat
red when the story proved false.

Two Revolutions at Guam.

HONOLULU, Oct. IA. - The United
States troop ship Pennsylvania arrived
from Manila by way Of Guam yester-
day, having on board twelve passen-
gers, mostly invalided soldiers from
the Philippines. The Pennsylvania
was the first vessel carrying the
American flag that touched at Guam
since the Charleston took possession.
Two revolutions had taken place.
Incited by Spanish priests, twice had
the natives pulled down "Old Glory
and hoisted the Spanish colors. Twice
had the local police hoisted the ensign
of Uncle Sam again and no bloodshed
ensucd.

Tanner Blames Mine Owners.

SpRINGFIELD, Ill, Oct. 14.-Governor
Tanner said this evening regarding
the Virden riot:
''Mr. T. C. Louck, president, and Mr..
Tutkin, superintendent, of the Vlrden
Coal company, at 1890 to-day made
GOOD their threats to. land a trainload
of ilnported laborers from the South,
and attempted to put them to work
in their mines, at the point OF the
bavonet and the muZz'e of the WIN
chester, such laborers being drawn
largely, if not entirely, from the Grim
inal class, cx-convicts, who learned
their trade while doing time IN the
| penitentiaries of Alabama, after hav-
| inp been fully advised and having full
knowledge that tho landing OF such
| imported laborers would precipitate
riot. | had wired them that if they
brought those imported laborers they
did so at their own peril, and, unoer
the circumstances, would be morally
responsible and criminally liable for
anything that might happen.
THE reports vary as to the number
killed and wounded. From conserva-
tive estimates and from all the in
forma ton 1 can gather, would esti'
mate the number of killed somewhere
from nine to fifteen and possibly quite
as many wounded The killed and
wounded are largely idle miners who
were on the outside. The others were
the hired guards who were brought
along bv the coal company. Most, II no'
all, of them were nOn-resldentS or LII
ino;s. There is no means OF learning
their names or whereabouts, for th'
reason that they declined to give then
out, knowing, perhaps, that they ar
criminally liable for murder, as the
had no permission from any officer Il

to act as deputy marshals or deput

This account Of a mans escape from
death Is written to benefit people who have
no appetite.
There are thousands dying like this man,
surrounded by plenty, because, although
they want to cat, they have no desire tor
food.
Instances Of people who lstarve to death
are not at all uncommos.
When the stomach loses the craving fof
food, and the power to digest Il, the body
Is starved and death results, either directly
or indirectly, from this cause.
The recovery Of George Marshall, Jr,
will interest many. He told the story at his

Ohio.
