The Cleveland Strike.

CLEVELAND, o., July 25.-Martial
law has been proclaimed in the city.
Twenty companies of soldiers, COM
prising 1900 men, are distributed
throughout the city where it is thought
trouble is liable to occur.
Strikers protest against the presence
OF troops and the carrying of arms by
private citizens, meaning non.union
street car employees. Rain fell most of
the afternoon yesterday and did what
the police have been unable to do
kept crowds from collecting and mo.
testing cars. Eleven of the fourteen
lines of the Big Consolidated Street
railway were in operation before Z
O'Clock.
The strikers executive committee
has issued statement denying any
connection with the recent disturban-
ces, including the nitro-glycerine ex-
plosion which on Sunday wrecked an
Euclid avenue car.
Conductor Ralph Hawley who shot
and killed boy has been remanded
without bail to await trial on the
charge of murder in the second degree.
CLEVELAND, July 26 -Twenty-four
hours has passed without street car
being blown up. The 1,400 armed
troops have a salutary effect on the
strikers. Several disturbances occurr-
ed during the night. At the corner of
Pearl street and Clark avenue a mob
of south siders stoned car and as a
result one hundred and twenty-five are
locked up. In conflict between
soldiers and small crowd at Petrie
and Ham streets saloon keepers face
was manned by a bayonet. The SOL
diers ordered crowd of rowdies to dis
perse in the vicinity of Quincy street
barn and upon their refusal arrested
ten.
Mayor Farley last night issued q
proclamation warning all persons not
to assemble or collect for the purpose
of using force against persons or prop
erty and forbidding the use of firearms
except by authorized persons.

TheyROOt Of All Evil.

Crude gold in the mines, as well as
gold refined and coined into money,
lies very close to the root of many evils.
The root of the evil disturbing the peace
of many nations at the present time is
in the existence of mines of gold in re-
gions which, from the fact of the dis
covery of the precious metal, have be-
come disputed territory.
But for the discovery of gold mines
in the regions of eastern Venezuela,
40 serious question as to the boundary
line between that republic and British
Guiana would have been raised. For
years England stretched the ancient
boundary line of the Essequibo west
ward, like cord of rubber, to keep
pace with the CLEAN of gold in the
placers and mountain ridges. The
weaker people protested in vain till the
United States stayed the hand of ag
gression and commanded England tc
prove in a court of arbitration he,

A. pre-. convention contest over the r. :
publican nomination to the governor
ship was on in 1896. W. W. Stickney
and Josiah Grout were the candidates.
Both were Republicans, in good and
regular standing. The editorial writer
to whom the Times refers espoused the
candidacy of Mr.. Stickney. Any flies
on his epublicanism-or his manhood,
or his personal or official record? Ever
hear of any? Ever a candidate for

events abundantly indicated its course
in that "connection?" Was not Grout
cipher in the canvass that followed his
nomination? National Republican
principles came to the extreme front in
that canvass, aud Grout, personally and
politically, was candle snuffed out.
In the battle that followed the inter-
party contention as to candidate for
Governor, there was no uncertainty as
to the political connection or fidelity to
party or principle of any opponent of
CIRCUITS candidacy. All were out on
the firing line, wherever any Others
might have been. Belief in Josiah
Grout never became an article in the
Republican confession of faith, except
possibly in the case of some newspaper
editors who followed his fortunes, of
whom the Times writer was one. In
politics, as in war, there is no law or
rule prescribing the tactics of an enc

for the mistake ought to be the blame
full one, not the person who points out
and utters a warning against it.

Anecdotes OF IngersOlI.

When l was writing my kings of
Platform and Pulpit" Robert Inger-
soil kindly sent me what he called his
greatest lecture, "Liberty of Man,
Woman and Child" with many other
OF his most brilliant sketches.
Gin using my speeches." he wrote,
"do not use any assault / may have
thoughtlessly made on Christ, which |
foolisbly made in my early life. With
Renan,, i belief Christ was the one per-
feet man. DO. unto-others,' is the per-
lection of religion and morality. 1t is
The summum bonun. 1t was loftier
than the teachings of Socrates, Plato,
Mohammed, Moses or Confucius. 1t
superseded the Commandments that
Moses claimed to have gotten from
God, for with Christ's do-unto. others
there could be no murder, lying, COW
etousness or war. 1t superseded Greek
patriotism, Roman fortitude or Anglo
Saxon bravery, for with do-unto-othe
bravery and patriotism would not be
needed"
Mr. IngersolI's arguments were of
the reductiO I'D absurdum kind. One
day in a talk on the cars with Talmage
he said:
"Then you would like to live in a
place, Brother Talmage, where every
one had to be good by law?"
Certainly" said Talmage.
"You would like to live where every
one had to go to church regularly every
Suuday?"
Eyes, that would suit me-"
"Where no man could get drink
and swearing was not permitted"
Eyes, that's the place for me-"
"And where every man would have
to keep regular hours2"
''That would be heaven on EARTH"
said Talmage, smiling and striking his
knee with his open palm.
"Well," said Bob, looking over his
glasses, you'd better go up to Sing
Sing. That's what they do there"
Beecher was very fond of Bob In
gersoll. Ingersoll's Republicanism,
anti-slaveryism and patriotic love for
Grant and his soldiers won Beecher.
This is why he introduced him to his
Plymouth church audience. Still,
Beecher was always joking the great
agnostic.
One day asked the great divine if
he really liked Ingersoll.
81 can't help it," he said. 81 love
all my fellow men," and then he added
with humorous solemnity, "And l
say now, when Robert Ingersoll dies
whether he goes to heaven or hell, /
wish him joyp
1t is an old story that 1 have told
many times, but the death of the loved
agnostic makes it new again.
When Ingersoll was thrilling audi
ences with his great lecture on "Robert
Burns" Beecher went to hear him in
Chicago. At the Palmer House l
asked him how he liked it.

said Beecher. "He held his audience
every minute. He is a great genius
and 1 should like to write his epitaph."
"What would you writep' asked.

his two front fingers on his thoughtful
brow. at would be a short epitaph.

Re True to yourself.

A correspondent of the Household De
oartment of Farm and Ranch, discuss
ing the sometimes discord that pre-
walls in families, does not place all the
blame upon the husband. She says:
IAN aunt of mine a woman OF great
intelligence, once said to me, Any wo-
man who will talk about her husband
and live with him will tell a lie.' That
sounds plain, but of the few that l
know of this class find 1t about as
mild as is necessary to put 1t. They
are deceiving the very man who tolls
and sweats for their bread, and such
woman would be untrue to her own
mother or child. This subject brings
down in the secret avenues of the heart
the KEY to it ala loveless mar
rage. false vows, false living, which
often terminates in a ruined home and
disgraced family. Girls be true; be
not bought by the glittering gold. Mil
lions at her command never made a
loveless woman lovable. Mothers,
never invade that sacred spot called
home; better never know your childs
sorrows than to be called to the judg-
ment bar for breaking up one home.
That which God hath Joined together,
let no man put asunder.'

Moca. The name of the murderer is
Ramon Caceres. He succeeded in

probable that he will soon be captured.

Stickney has the mortgage" on that or

that Morrill, or Edmunds held on the

The peace conference at The Hague
has completed, not its labors, for it is
difficult to associate the idea of work
with the meetings of the distinguished
and estimable gentlemen of many ma
tions at the palace in the woods. The
conference has had more of the char
acter of summer vacation of q club
of rather serious personages, having a
taste for matters of international law
and politics, and discoursing on sub
jects pertaining thereto in the intervals
of eating, sleeping, social functions,
and of participation in the events and
incidents of their association in a for
eign land, amid agreeable surround
ings. The comforting nations are
wealthy, or their sovereigns have the
means for extracting revenue from the
pockets of their subjects, and thus pos
sess the financial means of indulging a
few favored diplomats or citizens in
the luxury of an international picnic
in the holy name of peace. On the
great questions of averting the scourge
of war, or mitigating it's horrors and
lessening its hardships, the issue of
the diplomatic confabs is much like the
influence of moonshine on sprouting
vegetation. But, real sunshine follows
reflected light, and the revivifying rays
OF the sun of an effective international
peace conference may succeed the cold
moonlight from Hollands capital. So
mote it be.

CUBAN RAILROADS.
Proposed to Build Eight Hundred
Miles at Cost of $4,000, 900.

Gen. A. G Greenwood, who has just
returned from Cuba, has the following
20 say of Cuban railroads: "Within q
very short time the construction of q
railroad will probably be begun which
will make every point of inheritance in
Cuba easy of access. We have the
right of way, we have the concessions
and. best of all, we have the money.
sit is our purpose to have main
line throug b the islard, and to d o this
we must build road from Santa Clara
to Santiago de Cuba. distance of
about 400 miles. Then we will build
branches to the main line from every
port on the north and south side of the
island. This means the building of
more than $50 miles of road at cost of
at least S25, 000,0O0
'I.oudOn and Boston capitalists have
financed the undertaking. The surveys
have been made snd all that is neces-
ssry to permit the commencement of
the work OF construction is the repeal
of the Foraker resolution. This, we
have e cry reason to believe, will be
repealed 10 the early days of the COM
ing session. We shall rush the work
and give Gu ba a railroad system that
will prove of incalculable benefit in
the development of her many re-
sources.
