RATHER READY WITH THEIR
GUNS.

With no desire to harshly criticise
ognition OF the provocation given, we
are yet of the opinion that the sheriff
and his deputies at Shenandoah, Pa,
were a trifle too ready with their guns.
Deplorable as bloodshed always is, 1t
is doubly so as an incident thus early
in strike of such magnitude, involv-
ing so many men and such vast inter-
ests.
Naturally enough, the killing at
Shenandoah will make the situation
more tense throughout the anthracite
mining region affected by the strike.
1t will put strikers who have been we'll
disposed up to this time in an ugly
mood, with greatly increased chances
Of further clashes between them and
the authorities of the law.
Beyond doubt any investigation that
is likely to be made will Justify the
sheriff and his deputies, but there are
other tests beside the abstract question
of legality that must be applied in
Judging the incident 1t does not ap-
pear that the lives or limbs of the
officers were especially endangered by
the mob before the firing began, and
assuredly nothing. short Of that could
warrant a resort to the revolver where
the consequences were to be SO grave
and far-reaching. Taking conditions
as they were, to fire on the strikers
was almost tantamount to a declara-
ton of civil war; and should have been
a last resort. In fact, it appears that
the sheriff ordered his men to fire into
n crowd of men. women and children
because some drunken brawler in a
saloon discharged his revolver and
somebody threw few stones. This
was n very different thing from being
beset and firing i'll sclf-defense. Act
ing in threatening manner" is COM
mon with mobs of all kinds, but it has
never been considered sufficient ground
for an indiscriminate fusilade by Off
GERS of the law, and, if the anthracite
strike is not to be turned into war be-
tween the State of Pennsylvania and
the miners, officers with more nerve
and discretion than was shown by
Sheriff Toole should be put in charge
of the situation.

GIVE FOR LIBERTY!
(New York Journall

(NeW DIX JOurrai.)
1.-THE time to guard against corrup-
ton and tyranny is before they shall
have gotten hold of us. 1t is better to
keep the wolf out of the fold, than to
trust to drawing his teeth and talons
after he. shall have entered."-Thomas
Jefferson.
If trust can afford to give hun
dred thousand dollars to Mr.. Hanna's
campaign fund to retain the right to
plumber the people. cannot u working
man afford to give a dollar to the Dem
ocratic National Committee in order to
remain a free man?
Slowly the outlines OF the Mckinley
Hanna plan of campaign emerge from
the semi-chaos of preparation. The
Republican managers propose to secure
control of the national government and
"perpetuate" the present administra-
ton by the use of n vast corruption
fund. Every centre of corruption-the
Steel Trust. the Oil Trust, the Beef
Trust. the Sugar Trust. the Coal Trust.
the Leather Trust, the Tobacco Trust,
the Biscuit Trust and every other in
dustrial conspiracy against legitimate
business and the common people-is
contributing money to secure itself
against the enforcement of the Federal
laws by Democratic President.
The army contractors, the Philippine
and Porto Rico franchise hunters have
paid their share of blackmai. 1t is
notorious that the immense army OF
government employees have been
squeezed for money this year as they
were never squeezed before.

MIR. HANNA'S FLANK
MOVEMENTS IN
VIRGINIA.

The fact that the Republicans are
preparing to make fight in every
Congressional district in Virginia does
not mean that in each there is Il Re
publican anxious to be led as Il lamb
to the slaughter any more than 1t in
dicates a hope of electing these de-
voted victims of party loyalty. Mr..
Hanna is merely creating n diversion
in favor of the opponents of Hon. II.
l.. Maynard and Hon. ii. D. Flood. HE
is playing the same game here that
he is playing on Il larger scale by max
ing determined onslaught on Mis-
souri, to offset the Democratic attack
on New York State. In each instance
his purpose is to prevent concentra-
ton of Democratic effort. If by hav-
ing Republican candidates out in every
district in this State he can weaken
the Democratic campaign in the only
two districts that even Republicans
consider doubtful, he will have accom-
plished all that is intended by putting
out decoys in eight districts. 1t is an
old game with Mr. Hanna and is far
from being Ineffective 1t means that
in two districts of the State there is 10
be a fight; Democrats will do well not
to cherish any illusions on that score

1890 Prof. Joseph Rhodes Buchanan
predicted that sooner or later u West

stated that all coast cities south OF
New England are sure to meet with
disaster from the same cause, If they

so feet above the sea level. lie used

THE M'KINLEY LUCK STILL
HOLDS.


For no President in American his
tory has chance done so much as for
Mr.. Mckinley. He is the debtor not
the victim, of circumstances. Drouth
and flood, war, famine and pestilence
have served him. and well, within the
past four years. BY rare, good luck.
his induction into Office was coincident
with the recoil of the nation from one
of those natural waves of depression
with which politics and government
have little more to do than with the
trade winds. Then came short wheat
crops abroad. short cotton crops, a
vastly increased output OF gold, war
in South Africa with an enormous de-
mand for mules and horses and pro-
visions; disturbances in China that set
Europe to laying in supplies for an
emergency: our own war with Spain.
that put many millions of dollars in
circulation.
Whatever may be said of President
Mckinley. 1t can not be charged that
he was not born under n lucky star.

beware of the distinguished statesman,
who can only claim his plumbers as his

After having thrust this nation into the

f1,nt 1T
Kinley once more from a fate that
stupidity, indecision and an cver-ween-
ing ambition had combined to make
inevitable. At the eleventh hour cir
cumstances over which he had no sort
OF control appear likely to compel him
to assume the true American attitude
In China by forcing him to eschew the
miserable hasco yclept. "the concert of
fowers, and to deal with China with
an eye single to American interests and
obligations. After putting himself I'm

a significant fact brought out at a
recent meeting OF the Pennsylvania
Association of Magistrates was that
nearly every member of the association
favored the passage of law TO pre-
scribe the whipping post for wife
heaters. The attention of the valued
Petersburg 1ndex-Appeal, which loves
archaic institutions, is respectfully di-
rected to this opportunity.

(New York SUM-
There is n new French verb now that
Will plague the purists. Its name is
tomato" Ignorant people may think
that 1t is a noun; but it isn't. or, to
be precise, it isn't all the time noun,
and the. reason for making 1t verb
is not so strong as that which the
schoolboy gave to his teacher for call
ing Il COW a verb. "All COWS can't be
called nouns" said he. Our COW amt
no noun. She kicks. Every kicking
COW is a verb" Just now they must
be growing tomatoes pretty extensive
ly in France. At least the verb ito
mater" presents forcible evidence to
that effect. But the meaning which
the French give to the word would
seem to come from the House OF Com
mons. 1t is Ito stone a fellow with to-
matoes" C'lapider coups de to-
mates'O. After all. it is an improve
ment upon our own verb, ito rotten
egg,' and as such it is respectfully
submitted to indiscreet and over-zeal-
Gus partisans in the present campaign.
