What was perhaps mere matter

cent developments in the anthracite
fields of Pennsylvania Il certainty.
That there exists tacit understand
ing between the capitalists of the
United States and the state and ma
tlonal authorities no one any longer
doubts. 1t WIS not a matter for sur
prise that the miners in Pennsylvania
struck. The surprising fentnre of the
case is that they did not strike long.
ago. The conditions that existed
there are we'll known. There is one
fact that throws a flood of light upon
the position of the laborers. viz: that
for the last four years they have been
compelled to work for the average
wage OF $3.50 per year. Upon that
amount they were forced to found
their hopes of existence That
amount was their sole income, and
from it they must meet not only the
expenses for food, clothing for them
selves and their children, but also the
cost of the materials, such as POWDER
fuses, and the like, used in mining OPP
erations. They worked as long as
they We're able to work. They worked

struck peaceably. Their movements
were characterized by considerable
regard for law, order and vested in

Their movements We're we'll organized
and intelligently directed. Neither
life nor property stood in danger at
their hands. They did not even tax

Even the most bitter opponents of or

The war in he anthracite region Is
in fact war upon organized labor
and it is presenting many of the ia
lniliar manifestation of the Home
stead affair. Already innocent blood
has been shed by armed deputies, anc
already state troops nre patrolling tht
whole territory involved, doing police
duty for the robber coal trust. The
soldiers are expected to shoot at the
first drop of the hat, and II 1t Is nee
essary the hat will be dropped from
the point of bnyonct.

Governor Stone, of Pennsylvania,
had no difficulty to find lthority to
send armed troops into the anthra-
cite coal regions at the first call of the
agents of the trusts Even before the
strike against trust oppression was
begun, the governor had practically
ordered the mobilization of the mil
itia, and now General Goblin marches
his men through peaceful towns and
forbids the miners to meet except up
Oh his terms.
But Governor Stone can find no
hasty action. Indeed, the constitu-
!. ton of Pennsylvania expressly de
cares that the militia shall never be
brought into action until the civil
forces cannot preserve order. Cover
nor Stone is himself Il monopolist and
a creature of monopolies; he is owned
by the big corporate interests OF
| Pennsylvania, and was chosen by
Matthew Stanley Quay because he
was known to be a faithful ally OF
the predatory class. He has been tho
paid attorney of corrupt monopolies
for wears, and in congress he was one
of their chief advocates and defend
ers.
The governor, even Ii the constitu-
| tion required him to at'bitrate, would
avoid arbitration, if he could. lie
prefers bayonets and bullets above all
other methods in settling labor dis
putes. Like Governor Roosevelt he
would stand agitators for better con
ditions up against a stone wall and
shoot them as the quickest and best
way of dealing With the labor prob
lem.
The great strike now in progress in
the anthracite fields of Pennsylvania
had it's counterpart in the bloody
Homestead strike in 1892. The latter
contributed largely to the defeat of
the republicans in that memorable
| year.
The Homestead affair was one of
the worst in the history of monopoly
war on labor. The steel barons had

sion be remanded TO the people-to the
highest possible political authority. The
Anti-Addicksites refused this proposition
because they dare not submit their case
to a vote of all the Republicans OF the
State. They knowthat the voters would
repudiate their claims to regularity and
legitimacy. In this they haye confessed
that their claim is fraudulent one and
the repetition OF it, therefore, becomes
a lie, malicious lie, intended to deceive
Republican voters tv their own injury,
and for the benefit Of tie Anti-Addicks
boilers and the Democrats.
The assertion that the National Re-
publican Convention established" the
legitimacy of the Anti-Addicks party is
not true. That party is the product OF
political fraud and treason. There ia no
law or authority to legitimatize fraud and
treason. 1t cannot be done.

Washington. March 2S.--Thc senate
has agreed to vote on the Porto Rico bill

Senators Davis and Nelson introduced
amendments to the bill. Senator Davis
amendment is modification of his pre-
vious amendment, and it provides for a
duty on tobacco and rum when brought
into the United States from Porto Rico.
Senator Nelson's amendment is a sub
stitute for section 8 of the bill and is as
follows:
THAT on and after The passage of this
act all articles imported into the United
States from Porto Rico and all articles
imported into Porto Rico from the Unit
ed States shall be exempt from duty pro-

JOHN LEDYARD.

WE repeat the suggestion made few
days ago: The appearance OF ex-Senato or
Higgins in the State convention at Dover
on Tuesday next would be an omen for
good at the opening of the Republican
campaign of 1900. The popular recep-
tion of that suggestion has been unmis-
taxable. We have good reason to be-
lieve that Mr.. Higgins does not approve
OF the Anti Addicksites determination
to defeat the Republican party in the
coming campaign. He has declined
honors ppoffered him from the boilers,
and has declind to be party to their
schemes. These facts established, his
sincere Republicanism ought to put him
in active opposition to the scheme for Re-
p lblican defeat. His appearance among
his old friends and colleagues in the
Union Republican party would be hailed
with applause all over the State, and
wonld be the greatest proof Of the sin
cerity Of his Republican convictions, OF
his interest Tor the welfare Of his State,
that could be given. A speech from Mr..
Higgins, such IS he has made at previous
State conventions, would arouse and
enthuse Republicans, and promote true
party unity to a degree not possible
under any other circumstances. With
fall conviction Of the truth Of these
ayerments, and in view of the possible
sweeping success of the Republican
party, We respectfully suggest that a
careful review OF the situation, including
Mr.. Higgins previous official relation to
the Republican party, suggests reasons
for expecting such service. The neces-
sity for it is here. The opportunity for
it is open.

MAY ARREST TAYLOR.
Trouble Reported In Store For Gov
ernor Of Kentucky.
NO CONFESSION BY Y0UTSEY
Declared, However, That the Prose-
cutiOn In the GoebcI Murder Case
Has Cleaned Much Informa-
tion From CuIton.

Frankfort, Ky, March 2S.-The arrest
of Governor William S. Taylor, it is
strongly intimated, will be the next step
in the proceedings to fix the responsibility
for the murder of William Goebel.
The report that Henry q. Youtsey, one
of the men accused of completely in Will
liam Goebels murder, had made revela-
tions to the prosecution is unfounded.
Youtsey not only maintained his own
innocence, but said that he stood ready
at any time to tell all he knew, nothing
of which is of a criminal nature. Yout-
sey's attorneys say they will go before
Judge Moore and ask for an immediate
examining trial
One of the leaders in the prosecution
said: 'Mr. Youtsey told us nothing that
we did not know already. We gained
nothing from him, but we were compen-
sated for the loss of what we hoped to
extract from him by the information we
got from Mr.. Culton."
1t is asserted that. as related by Cul-
ton, the mountain men were brought to
Frankfort by direction from the Powers
brothers, Charles Finley, Culton and 9th
ers. They were to be regular .mountain
fcudists," as Golden related. After ar
irving here. they were to start a riot in
the legislative halls "and kill enough
Democrats to make Republican ma
iority," but the plan was abandoned, and
it was decided by Powers and others, ac-
cording to this confession, to have Sena-
tor Goebel shot from the office of the sec
retary of state.
The Presidents Attitude.
A dispatch from Washington says:
THE president has informed Kentucky
Republicans that, while he cannot inter
fere in Kentucky affairs to the extent
Of disarming the militia of either fac
tion, he is willing, so far as he can
lcgitimately do so, to recognize the Re
publican officials Of that state as the de
facto officials. He told thcm III the same
connection that he would give directions
that mail addressed to an official by title
only, as to The Governor or THE Sec
retary Of State should be delivered to
the Republicans holding those Offices and
not to the Democrats"
Captain John Davis, ono of the alleged
accessories 70 the murder Of Governor
Goehel, whom the attorneys agreed to
release on bond of $1,000, is still in
Jail. no one having appeared to execute
a new bond.
According 10 the alleged confession by
Culton, il is asserted that Caleb Powers
met the men in London on the Sunday
preceding the assassination and that
Catching's hotel register shows that he
and one of the men directly concerned
in the shooting were registered there.
Berry Howard, it is asserted, was either
in the room whom the shot was fired OF
else out in the hall on guard. with full
knowledge of what was being done.

large amount of money if he did not fill

They responded i'll the only way open TO

mate party in Delaware. That fact was
established by the highest court OF tie
party. the National Convention.
The first sentence Of this quotation is
utterly false. The Union Republican
party is the Original, regular and true
Republican party OF Delaware. It is
that BY reason Of its principles, origin,
achievements and constituents. Its
Lineage is honorable. It's genealogical
record is complete. Its claim to being
the Republican party of Delaware is
made good by its being what it claims TO
be, and not by any act of recognition
from national committees; nor yet by
Democratic clerks Of the peace, in return
Tor promised aid for the Democratic
party, for the defeat Of the Republican
party.
The latter sentence of the quotation is
not true because it states an impossible
ity. In the first place the National Con.
vention is not the. highest court of any
poiiti al party. 1t is bit of political
machinery provided for carrying out de-
cislons already made by the people. 1t
has only authority to ascertain what the
people OF tine States sending delegates to
is, have already decided. If they do
otherwise than that they do wrong. Do
ing wrong cam Vt establish a right. II
she convention knowingly does wrong il
becomes party to fraud, which no au-
shortly can legitimatise.
That is just what occurred at ST. Louis.
The men who were foremost in promot.
ing the recognition Of the nti-Addicke
delegates at St. Louis, say now, that this
recognition was IAN infamous steal. 2
Mr. Thurston, the foremost of the Anti
Addicks champions, has SO designated
tie action OF the convention, has apollo
gized for the error he committed, and
has promised to do all he can to repair
the damage done.
The basis OF the so-caled Legitimacy
of the Anti-Addicks party is "an in
famous steal" There is no authority
any ywhere to .,legitimatise'i theft.
Leaving the question of fraud out of
this discussion there is no good basis for
the Anti-Addicksites claim. The Ma
tional Convention has no authority 10
settle any question relative to State
politics. 1t is not an authority in this
case. Il could make no decision which
the people could not refuse or repudiate.
TIE highest court in sucl cases is the
people voting. Even the votes OF the
people establish nothing which cannot
b. amended, repealed or reversed by a
snosequent vote. In this dispute the
Union Republicans, in the interest of
party success, have asked that its deci-
