Albany, Sept 13.-It has been ascer
tanned that Governor Roosevelt has for.
warded to Attorney General Davies his
memoranda relative to the charges pre-
ferred against Colonel Asa Bird Gardi
ner, district attorney of New York coun
~, by the City club, predicated on tho
report of Ansley Wilcox of Buffalo, who
was appointed by the governor to take
the testimony. 1t is stated on excellent
authority that the governor sustains the
report of Commissioner Wilcox and eX-
onerates Colonel Gardiner from the
charges preferred against him. Acting
under instructions Attorney General Da-
vies, when asked for release of the
memoranda, absolutely refused to either
release or dismiss the matter until later,
when, he said, he would talk for publ
cation.

London, Sept. 13.-All the correspond
ents in China are sending terrible stories
of the wholesale massacre of missionaries
and native Christians. 1t is asserted that
during July between $4,000 and 10000
converts were massacred in the northern
provinces. Large numbers of missiona-
ries are still unaccounted for, and small
hope is entertained of their escape. Ma
tive reports are subjected to the most
careful scrutiny, with the result that al
though there may be some exaggeration
it is impossible 10 doubt that in the main
they are correct The horror is intensified
by confirmation of the reports that the
women were subjected to unspeakable
barbarities and fortunes, being stripped
and slowly dubbed to death. This was
one of the mildest methods. The Boxers
wreaked iendish vengeance.

AS the Hon Mr. Jones was perusinp

Say, pa did Lafayette come from

The Coal Miners Dinner Pail

Liz OOdl mlu0C Uluu0I F8ll
From the New York Journal.
The Bildads of the press and
the newspaper Shuhities with
Hanna rings through their noses
have ceased for time to call the
representatives of one half the
American people anarchists, and
are now making a queer attempt
to fasten the responsibility for the
labor troubles in the Pennsylvania
coal regions upon the democratic
party.
Strikes, under almost any cir
cumstances are to be deplored.
Strikes in the Pennyslvania col
lieries are particularly deplorable
for it is here that the republican
trusts have reduced the brutality
of starvation to science, and the
consequent misery following q
strike is appalling.
No democratic arguments we're
necessary IN the train of events
which have led up to the troubles
in the coal regions. Pennsylvania
is hidebound republican state.
Here in the collieries laborers are
dashed to the polls under threats
of discharge, to vote for the inter
ests of the masters who Cypress
them. We fail to see any demo.
cratic influence in this fact.
Here are 10000 starving re-
publicans, bound like slaves by
the party they vote for, are wrest-
ling earnestly with the problem Of
Mr. Hanna's full dinner pail.
Let us see how full the Pennsyl-
vania miners pail really is. The
republican coal trust boasts of the
fact that it pays it's men SLIGO per
day where it formerly paid $l.4O
or less. But when the miners
were working for 81. 40 a Gay they
worked full time. They now

about $3.50.
Mining powder is manufactured
for about eighty cents per key.
The miner is forced to buy it fro
the republican coal trust for $275
a keg-a profit of 300 per cent.
The miner is required to trade
at the company store on orders
signed by the cashier He is thus
forced to pay from 20 to 100 per
cent more for the necessaries Of
life than he would pay at an ou-i
side store. But if he does not
patronize the company store" he
is discharged without money or
character. Do you see the handi-
work of democracy in this?
The law calls for the semi
monthly pay of the miners. The
republican coal trust, in spite of
the laws, pays them monthly.
Eight hours is the usual legal
days work. The republican coal
trust forces it's 10000 slaves to
work ten hours.
A ton of coal in the mining re-
gions is legally reckoned at 2,24O
pounds. The republican coal
trust forces its victims to dig as
much as 1850 pounds for a ton.
Injunctions are obtained by the
masters to prevent outside butch
ers from selling meat to the labor
ers.
The miners lives in trust houses
costing about $3.50 each. For
these they pay a rent amounting
to % per cent of the value of the
house.
Thus the great republican trust,
so harassed by democratic perse-
cution, profits about as follows:
House rent, as compared with
house value, % per cent.
Excess prices of company store,
40 per cent.
Profits on powder extortion, 300
per cent.
Extra time Of miners enforced
labor per day, Is per cent.
Extra illegal weight of coal per
ton, Is per cent.
Average miners wages per week
of three days, SIS.
Is it any wonder that with these
merciless percentages to contend
with there are thousands of miners
who do not receive as much as ten
cents cash in wages from one
years end to the other?
We commend these facts to the
attention of the Hannaites and the
rabid portion of the republican
press. The democrats have moth
ing whatever to do with the Penn
sylvania republican coal trust.
They have brewed their own mess
of pottage and must stand to it.
OF course the miners will con.
tinue to vote the republican ticket
this fall, simply because they
have to. They should remember,
however, that their ills have not
been brought about by the policy
or plans of the democratic party.
