DOMESTIC PLEASANTRIES

The Balfour Statesmen publishes the
following graphic description of a fam
lily jar, recently occurring in that viii
lage.
Herman Britzke, who has a claim
near this place, and wife and three
children in this place, mas been the
means of making things lively in Bal
four this week. He has been work
ing farm near Big Stone, S. D., and
wanted his wife to leave the claim
here and bring the children down
there. She had decided to get a di-
vorce from him on the ground of cruel
and inhuman treatment and therefore
sent two Of the children and kept the
baby with her here. Her failure to
accompany the kidle'ts caused Britzke
to hustle up to this place and put in an
appearance at the home of his father
in-law, Mr.. Jacobs, who lives half a
mile east, about l o'clock in the morn
ing. Britzke compelled his wife to
leave the parental roof and accompany
him to a hotel in this place, where
forced conjugal relations aroused and
furnished amusement for the house
Constable Behner put in an appear
ance and nailed him for disorderly
conduct. He was turned loose the
next morning as no one appeared
against him. During the day the
family repaired to Attorney Birds
Office to air their grievances and roast
each other. During the rapid evolu-
| tons of the Dutch chin-chin merry-go-
round the father-in-law hit Britzke a.
swift right-hander on the mug. A
shanty over the eye soon developed.
The attorney exercised great tact and
stopped several scraps before the DOW
WOW was ended. At one time Mr..
Jacobs was about to heave a scuttle of
Ignite at his curly-headed son-in-law.
The lawyer kept Mrs. Jacobs between
the belligerants and issued many pre-
! emptory demands upon them to sit
down.

his father-in-law to recover some

have done nothing besides further en-
tangling the situation is having its
weight with Yoreign governments.

Queer Cause of Big Strike.

Louisville Courier-Journal.
At attack of rheumatism which befell a
signal man in the employ of the Taft Vale
Railway, the great coal carrier from the
Cardiff collieries in Wales. was the initial
circumstance which led up TO the big
strike of railway employees and the enforc-
ed idleness of $4,000 miners. The suspen-
sion of labor comes at a time, too, when
the demand for Welsh coal is extraordi-
narily active. 1t is one of the queerest
stories of the trivial causes of labor dis
turbances that has ever been told
The signal man, whose name is Ewing
ton, and whose wages were twenty-four
shillings week. fell sick Of rheumatism
in April. A month ago he recovered and
asked for his old place, but another man
had been engaged whom the management
did not like to discharg. A place at an
other station was offered Ewington. but
he declined it, saying that he would not
move on account of his large family.
Another place at increased wages to do
relief work was offered, but again he re-
fused. Pressed for an explanation, he fin
ally admitted that his union would not
permit him to take anything but his old
job. as 1t was then held by non-union
man. A powerful labor agftator, Richard
Bell, had come into Wales and had under
taken to discipline the Taft Vale Roadway.
AS the management would not give Ew~
ington back his place under the circum-
stances and would not negotiate with Bell.
the strike was ordered at the precise
time when coal was in the greatest de-
mand In consequence coal cannot be NOV
ed. and $4,000 golfers are idle, We'll as
the railway employees. Bell has offered
to arbitrate the matter. but the manager
says there is nothing to arbitrate. and an
industrial paralysis affecting the whole
nation has been the result of a rheumatic
attack.
1t Is another instance of the complex
conditions of modern life.

ERrfH Years. Ere.

Allentown Special to the Philadelphia
Public Ledger.
The fire in the mine at Summit Hill,
which has been raging furiously the past
week, yesterday broke into Spring Tunnel
Colliery, operated by George M Davies,
and all efforts to prevent its spread have
SO far proved unavailing. On account Of
the heat and the attendant risk, the force
of fire fighters was compelled to leave the
mine. All operations a. the Spring Tunnel
Colliery have ceased and 800 men and
boys have been thrown out of employ
mont indefinitely.
The fire in the Summit Hill mine origi-
mated forty years ago, and has since been
burning steadily. 1t is estimated that the
Lehigh. Coal and Navigation Company
which owns the property, has expended
more than a million dollars in an endeav-
or to extinguish the fire. The big duplex
pump which poured water into the mine
broke down a short time ago, and this.
it is said, is responsible for the spread of
the flames The fire is now eating it's
way through the richest veins of coal in
the Panther Creek valley The suspension
of work at the Spring Tunnel Colliery is a
terrible blow to the business interests of
Lansford and Summit Hin.

THE CHINESE PROBLEM.

And now the cry is raised that we
should incontinently scuttle out of China.
Our work there is done, men say, and we
have no business to keep our troops
there another day. The United States
troops were sent into China for definite
purpose. They cannot be withdrawn un-
til that purpose is accomplished.-New
York Tribune
Well have we not accomplished our
"purpose?" 1t was the rescue of the
legationers, and particularly of Minis
ter Conger and his official staff and
any missionaries or converts he might
have under his protection. That has
been done, and those once in great
jeopardy are now in safety. To re-
main longer in China is to inevitably
embroil the United States in an inter
national mix-up to which the Philip
pine wretchedness will be only sum-
mer days picnic by comparison. We
can now retire from China with honor
and credit. Why not do it at once?

New York Herald
There can be no reason for keeping an
army in China unless it be for waging
war. This cannot be done by executive
edict without usurping a power which the
constitution vests solely IN Congress. 1t
cannot be done without drawing the
United States into a general conflict, dis
astrous to its interests and perilous to its
destiny. From such a conflict every ma
tional tradition and every consideration Of
national welfare and safety demand that
this country should keep entirely clear.
We have no right, business or interest in
China as a belligerent. We have no part
to play with European powers in what
may develop into struggle for conquest
or plumber. 1t is no affair of ours and we
should keep well out of it,

To-DAY,s CONVENTION.

The indications yesterday were that
Hon. w. W. Brannon, of Weston. would
be the nominee of to-day's Democratic
Congressional Convention at Sisters
vile. 1t is known that the delegates
from Gilmer, Lewis, Harrison, Braxton
and other counties look upon Mr..
Brannon as the most available and
strongest man, and unless there be a
change in sentiment such as is hardly
to be expected, or Mr.. Brannon with
holds his consent, of which there is
no intimation at this writing. he may
be named without the formality of a
vote.
Many others have been named in
connection with this honor, and among
those so mentioned are many good
men, able to lead the party to victory.
Hon. Andrew Edmiston has been a
prominent figure in the public mind,
but it is not his wish to be nominated.
A private letter in the possession of
the Register says that for personal and
private reasons it is impossible for him
to accept. and he must, therefore, be
considered out of the race and elm
mated from the situation.
Mr. Brannon possesses peculiar ele-
ments of strength and is not only an
able man, but one of much popularity.
Without prejudice to any other pos
sible candidate, and with a clear field
for all, the Register repeats that the
indications last evening were decid-
edly favorable to ''Will Brannon.

NEGRO COLONIZATION IN WEST
VIRGINIA

The Philadelphia Press takes up dis
patch to the Baltimore Sun from West
Virginia about the alleged colonization of
negroes in this State. AMI proceeds to
hammer the life out of the lie. N-gro
colonization is an old story with the De-
mocracy of West Observation-Disclosures
1t is, indeed, an old story and an
old evil in West Virginia. II is an
evil which it Is folly for Republican
organs such as the Philadelphia Press
and the 1ntelligencer to begin to deny
and repudiate at this late day The
information of the Baltimore Sun re-
garding the extent of this colonization
in preparation for the election next
November, while not exactly news, is
confirmation of information that has
been In possession OF the Register re-

leaders in this State.

who are mot needed" in those
States, it is a temptation too strong for
the Republican managers to withstand
to slip several thousands of these coll
ored voters across the border into this
State where they are SO sadly needed
by the discredited Republican machine.
How to combat this evil and gross
injustice and outrage upon the citizens
of West Virginia is another question.
to the solution OF which the Democratic
leaders should devote their close at
tention, for West Virginia, not being
in the BLACK belt and never having
been threatened like other Southern
States with negro domination, is pecu-
liarly open to colonization schemes.
1t behooves the Democrats in the
border counties and along the lines of
new railroads and where new mines
have been opened to keep a ceaseless
vigil. This year the colonization has
been materially extended. 1t is esti-
mated conservatively that between
5000 and 10000 negroes have been re-
Gently dumped into this State as la
borers and miners in Barbour, Tucker,
Harrison, Fayette and other counties,
also along the Short Line railroad being
built between Clarksburg and New
Martinsville, the Coal and Iron road
between Elkins and Marlinton to the
Greenbrier branch of the G. & O., etc.
Already the Republican managers
boast that they have enough negroes
colonized to carry the State for the Re-
publican ticket If this be so, the old
grievance of the white in the Southern
"black belt" suddenly becomes the
grievance also of the white people of
West Virginia, who are no more in
love with negro domination or minor
ity white rule than their brethren
north or South.
