LONDON, May IA letter from Ser
geant Parker, who is believed to be
one of those just decorated with the
Victoria cross, describing the Sunna's
post disaster, is published to-day. He
says:

we remained three hours under the

only gunner Lodge (also decorated

loading, laying and firing by ourselves
and brought both guns out of action
by ourselves. We have been recon-
mended for the Victoria cross"

The coal miners Of the Panhandle
district, which is a part of the Ohio
district, held a meeting of consider
able Importance at the Farmers Home
last evening. The meeting was called
by D. H. Sullivan, second vice pres
ident of the Ohio miners, who has
charge Of the organization work in the
district, for the purpose OF receiving
reports from committees from the
various mines in Wheeling and vicin-
ity, and also to consider the advisable
ity If enforcing the new scale as adopt
ed by the recent conference at New
Philadelphia, wherever it may be
found necessary.
Mr.. Sullivan, who is very actively
engaged at present in organization, and
who has had much experience in deal
ing with questions of a similar nature
in the past, presided over the meet
ing and the delegates attending, rep
resented the employees OF the La Belle,
Whitaker, Manchester, Gilchrist, Elm
Grove, BenWood, Glendale and Mounds
vile mines. Committees selected by
the men at the various banks in the
district presented printed copies Of
the new scale to the operators about
a week ago and the delegates last
evening reported with reference to the
replies received.
The miners were in executive ses-
sion and Just before they adjourned
one of the delegates acting upon in
Structions from the chairman, stated to
a Register representative that the tes-
timonials given by the committees
were very encouraging, showing that
in nearly every instance the operators
conferred with were willing to sign
the scale providing others would do so.
1t was also stated that if the opera
tors will agree to meet the men upon
a fair basis that another meeting will
be held. Vice President Sullivan will
likely make Wheeling his %headquar-
tiers for q few days and may go to
Long Run this morning to investigate
a charge that some Of the men have
been discharged for not purchasing
their supplies from the company. He
will likely make a trip to kelly's mine
at Portland later in the week to en-
deavor to ~reorganize the men.
The New Philadelphia scale provides
that $2.10 be a day S wages for inside
work: that 80 cents a ton be paid for
screened coal; $1.48 a yard for entry,
and also that eight hours constitute a
days work. During Mr.. Sullivan's
visit to the district efforts will be
made to bring about a general recog-
milton of the scale throughout the dis
trict.

CRIMES IN LIBERTY,s NAME.

1t no longer lies In the mouth of a
Republican to criticize the South for
not submitting to negro rule. The
administration has not only denied the
right of se~lf-government by the peo-
pie of Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Phil
ippines, but has instituted a separate
and distinct form of government with
out voice or representation for each.
In Porto Rico we have a %pro-consul,
in Cuba a monstrosity, and in the Phil

Instance the same result is attained,

A IDEA.

William Dudley Foulke tells the
Brooklyn Eagle that the overthrow
of the trusts is impossible. He sends
to the paper named a long story to the
effect above quoted. and his opening
paragraph is:
81 confess I have not yet been abe 10

labyrinth of complicated questions. which
arise in connection With the problem OF
the trusts. Nay, more, | believe that IL
that he has found a complete remedy for
every evil invoived-he Will learn that ne
is mistaken; and # ne could awaken some
time far into the next century and io2k
by the mighty agencies that are beng
organized at the present time. he Would
arisen in paradise and found that the
gates were not of pearl, and the streets
were not of gold. and that the angels were
playing upon instruments with which he
was wholly unacquainted.'
Mr.. Foulke. with all due respect,
is in error. There is a remedy at the
hands of the people. 1t is the turning
down of that trust-fostering political
party, the Republican, and the install
lation of a pure and simple democratic
regime, with the incidental repeal of
the protective tariff and the consequent
release Of the people from In awful
and unnecessary burden. The trusts
would not long survive the abolition
of the tariff and direct and adequate
anti-combine legislation.
The abolition of the trusts under Re-
publican rule is, undoubtedly, impos-
sible. The cause must first be re-
which the people will appreciate and
rejoice over.

In pointing with pride to the great

The ultra Republican press has lost no
opportunity to din into the public ears
The claim that trade follows the flag,
and that III insular possessions will
result, under arbitrary or military rule,
in great benefits to the manufacturer
and agriculturalist alike. The essence
of these claims is that trade follows

our colonies are expanded by force of
arms, commerce will be benefited. 1t

people. He takes New York for an il
lustration because it happens to be the
largest city in the country, and pro-
ceeds to show that a Board of fifteen
Trustees might be elected upon a new
plan which may be stated as follows:
Each trustee is to be elected from
the city at large. He assumes a prob
able total of coo, 900 votes, which would
make 10000 necessary to choice OF
one Trustee, and a party or cause must
poll that number to have a voice, or
n vote in the Board, and every voter
has the right to cast his ballot for
any citizen, without nomination. The
election being over, the ballots are
counted by the heads of the tickets
to ascertain the relative strength of
parties. In his suppositious example
he finds the following result:
