President Ratchford, one member
Of the industrial commission which
recently made an investigation of
the mining troubles at Wardner,
attacks the present system estab-
lished there by state authority. In
a recent interview he says: "In
troubles of this kind, where life
and property have been taken and
destroyed, every good citizen must
agree that the executive Of a state
has duty to perform. 1t is his
right and duty to restore law and
order; to guarantee every citizen OF
the commonwealth fullest protec-
ton to their lives and property; to
give to those who are charged with
offenses against the law fair and
impartial trial, and to bring all
criminals to justice. Thus far the
state should go and no further. /,
has no moral or legitimate right &c
say who shall not earn a living b,
their labor within its borders; moi
has 1t right to say to employer:
whom they must and whom the,
must not employ" 1t would b,
hard for any fair minded American
citizen to controvert a single state
ment Of Mr.. Ratchford's expressed
opinion,

LATEST INVASION OF ENGLAND.
Her Industries Threatened by the Pur.
chase Of American Stationary
Engines.

New York Tribune
A sensation scarcely less lively than
that which followed the award of the
Atbara bridge contract and the intro
duction of Yankee locomotives into
England has been created by the decis-
ion of the proper authorities in Glas-
gov to bIy stationary engines in this
country for an electric light plant.
The considerations which led to this
choice have not been made apparent.
Probably the men with whom the de-
cision rested were satisfied as to the
promptness with which the contract
would be filled. and with the price. But
the announcement has called out a
good deal of criticism, especially of the
engine itself Tnasmuch as it was the
Allis people who received the order,
this outbreak of fault finding will pro-
woke smile in America 1t is pos
sihle that dozen other concerns In the
United States could turn out equally
good machinery; but the excellence OF
the Allis engine is 50 well established
that a serious attempt to pick flaw
in its character merely exhibits ignor-
ance and disoreditable feeling.

NEW YORK. Sept. SO.-The land pa
rlde capped the climax. The city.
state and nation united in a vast
demonstration worthy OF the hero Of
Manila, Earth trembled beneath the
tread Of $1,000 men and the air was
torn assunder with the shouts Of mil
lions. The naval parade Of yesterday
was magnificent and superb, but the
wonder Of modern times was the great
land parade. Thousands OF proud men
Of our land and sea forces, the militia
OF Is states and veterans OF the civil
and Spanish wars. swelled the process
sion and gave 1t the dignity in size
that It boasted.
The governors Of the several states,
who rode in carriages. though many OF
them were popular and would have re-
eeIved big demonstrations at any other
time. passed almost unnoticed. The
crowds would have none of them to-
day They yearned only for brass but
tons and gold lace OF the military and
naval heroes, and would have nothing
else.
Both Major Generals Miles and Mer-
ritt received ovations, but IT was rear
Admiral schley who divided the honors
with the central figure of the day. He
received demonstration second only
to that Of Dewey. People along the
line Of march fairly rose at him,
shouting their already laeerated throats
tc the breaking point. "Hurrah for
the hero of Santiago" there is the
man that smashed Cervera's fleet"
hip hip, hurrah for schley." and kin
dred cries came from all parts of the
lire.
In upper Fifth avenue, some enthusi-
astic lady threw him handful OF
roses They landed fairly in the car
riage and the admiral lifted them to
his lips. Instantly all the ladies in the
balcony seemed plqued with desire to
have their flowers similarly honored,
and he was fairly bombarded, Before
he got to Madison square, Admiral
schley was up to his arms in flowers.
Governor Roosevelt. at the head Of the
national guard, received a hearty and
continuous ovation from one end OF the
line to the other,

Attorney General Davis, of the state

United States is still in state Of war,
and a number Of New York state citi-

The British are about to commence
their Pacific cable, extending from Van
coIver via certain Islands to Australia
and New Zealand. It will be 5000 miles
long, and complete the electric circuit
of the globe. The cost is placed at ST.

Australia and the British government,

to unite the scattered fragments of the
