Many Coal Miners ON Strike.

Pittsburg, April 3.--From $4,000 to
$4,000 coal miners in the Pittsburg dis
trict and 5000 in the Irwin district are
on strike. The cause of the trouble
in the Pittsburg district is dssatisfac-
ton over the dead work scale of the In
dianapolis agreement and was entirely
unexpected. All the river mines were
forced to close down by the refusal of
the men to work, and many of the rail
road mines are idle. In the Irwin dis
trict the miners want an advance of 5
cents per ton. Good order prevails in
both districts.

Titles Won By Merit.

Boston Herald: One of the critics Of
the British military operations in
south Africa calls attention to the fact
that about all the commanding gen.
erals have aristocratic titles affixed to
them and draws from this circumstance
the conclusion that they owe their
positions to royal favor rather than to
real merit. The criticism would be
more to the point were it not that 1t
loses sight of the fact that nearly oil
the commanding generals owe their
titles not to their birth, but to their
distinguished services In war. They
are lords or knights because they have
beeo successful generals, not generals
because of their titled ranks

That it was designed to promote blood

templated that the de facto governor
would go the length he has gone in
condoning murder after promoting it
and in shielding murderers after set
ting them on. Mr.. Goebel was shot
down from an ambush provided by the
de facto governor, Taylor. Instantly
all effort to arrest his assassin was
blocked by Taylor's orders. Two days
have passed and not word IL said BY
this mock governor, so ready with his
reasonable proclsmations and so
prompt with his lawless use of troops,
