DOWN IN THE MINES.

to stimulate the coal trade and open
up demand for coke for fuel pur-
poses.
The militia are again in the coun-
ty, and the people are wondering IL
they again will be found the warm
bosom friends of the agitators and
visit their camps and eat and drink
with them, and escort them over the
county to make anarchist speeches,
to create disorder rather than bring
peace.
The following from the Chattanoo-
ga News shows how they view the
situation here from afar:
AReisn Of Terror.
If union labor has a friend in the
whole state of Kentucky he ought to
call off the bands of ruffians and
murderers who are terrorizing the
mining regions of Western Ken
tucky. A state of anarchy exists
around the mines where squads OF
men claiming to be acting in
the interest of organized labor
assault non-union men with guns
and pistols while they are going
peaceably to their work. Sew
eral men nave been killed-shot
down simply because they insisted
upon exercising their rights as citi-
zens. What is the sheriff of the
county doing that he does net stop
this abominable thing? Where is
the governor of Kentucky, and what
is he doing? The news which comes
from Darlington every day is a dis
grace to the state of Kentucky. If
the sheriff is powerless to protect
peaceable citizens who desire to work
in the coal mines, the governor
should call out the state militia and
order 1t to preserve order at any cost.
The Nashville American has a
staff correspondent on the ground,
and we learn from this source sever
al things connected with this mine
war that is not Of general knowledge.
II this is correct statement of the
situation and the cause OF the trouble
and the News has no doubt that 1t
is-the sheriff of Hopkins county and
the governor of the state should be
impeached for allowing it to contin-
ue and thrive for whole year. If
the local authorities are powerless,
then it is the duty of the governor of
the state to use the military arm; if
the sheriff is making no effort to re-
store order he ought to be impeach-
ed, kicked out of office and a coura-
geous put in his place who is not
afraid to do his sworn duty. On the
other hand, if it appears that both
the sheriff and the governor are
lodging their duty it then rests with
the citizens to see that both of these
officials are exposed and held up to
the contempt of all law abiding peo-
pie. We cannot believe that the
United Mine Workers Association
is aiding and abetting this murder
GUS anarchy. If it is, its officials
should be made particeps criminis
to every murder that has been COM
mitted, to the burning of every piece
of property, and prosecuted to the
full extent of the law. We do not
believe that such state of affairs
would be countenanced 80 days by
the authorities of Tennessee, and we
are surprised that the Kentucky au-
thorities have wInked at it.

notice of the courts order late yes

president, w. A. SIasom and other
leaders were seen at the camps and
notices handed around among the
men there. The leaders had little
to say, but in what they did say left
the impression that they did not ex-

saw three large tents with men in

County:

All good, law-abiding citizens
deeply regret the disgraceful con-
duct OF many violators of law in cur
beloved county of Hopkins and in
some of her neighbor counties at
points near her borders within the
past few months. Ifyou fairly rep
resent the noble laborers whose name
youbear, you Will readily and with
out question or cavil, unite with the
officers of the law in this effort to
restore our accustomed peace and
bring speedy and adequate punish
ment to all guilty persons. What
ever may be the crimes or indiscre-
tions of others want to believe that
most of you are disposed to do right
and are innocent of wilful wrong, but
/ now notify you that from private
investigation made by me from
sworn statement of witnesses
brought before me as provided by
law, 1 find there are reasonable
grounds for believing that out CT
your camps within the past few
months have come at divers times
considerable numbers of men, many
of whom are strangers to this conf
munity, both white and colored,
heavily armed, and committed
crimes in this county and points ad-
iacent thereto, and for which, If con-
victed, the lawful punishment will
be death or confinement for term
of years in the penitentiary at hard
labor, and who have returned to
your camps in the hope of being
lost among your great number.
You must know that your remain
ing in camps is the only means of
making this condition possible and
is constant menace to the peace
and dignity of our beloved common
wealth of Kentucky, whose proud
name is being brought to disgrace
and shame by this deplorable con-
dition. Your camps must, therefore,
be disbanded, at once, and forever,
in Hopkins county.
Therefore, to all citizens of Hop
kins county in these camps assem-
bled say as friend and as an OFF,
GER, lay down your guns and return
to your homes like good citizens at
once; and to all others say dlsband
or move your camps from Hopkins
county, and in order that / may be
fair with all of you, give you until
Saturday morning, November 23,
1901, at daylight, in which to comply
with this demand unless evidences
of a preparation on your part for re-
sistance of this demand be discov-
cred, in which event immediate ac-
ton will be taken on my part. There
is no time for argument, and the only
satisfactory answer you can make to
this is a prompt compliance with its

to fill the ruts and holes, but as the
drvevs objected to running their
wheels over the new stones they would
pass next to them and would soon
make new ruts which were as deep as
the first.
The principal object in AIacalam's
reform was to condemn the foundation
OF large stones. He demonstrated that
1T was useless. He showed that II the
materials of the road proper were cut
fine enough to equally spread the
pressure upon the bottom Of the casing

1t was the French engineer Polon-
ccau who first had the idea to incorpo.
rate foreign adhesive materials for the
binding of stone roads. Before 1874
it WAS Thought that the debris provided
by the brcakagc Of stones under weight
was sufficient. 1t was long while be-
fore I'olonccau's Improvement was
adapted. for Macadam's following
prescription was closely followed: 1T
Is not necessary to put any binding

Catarrl Las become such a common
disease that person entirely free from
this disgusting complaint is seldom met

as nothing ni,re serious than a bad cold,
a simple inflammation of the nose and
throat. 1t is, III fact, complicated and
very dangerous disease; if not at first, it
very soon becomes so.
The blood is quickly contaminated by
the foul secretions, and the poison through
the general circulation is carried to all
parts of the system.

THE HIGH SCHOOL COURSE OF
STUDY.

[By Allen G. Fling, Superintendent of Schools,
Nebraska City, Neb.]
A great cry is coming from different
parts of the country for elective work
in the high school. Some seem to think
that progress and improvement demand
a constant change in the existing order
of things. In education it is we'll to
prove all things and hold fast to that
which is good. Conservatism has
legitimate place.
A few years ago the elective system
was hardly known in our colleges, now
it's supporters are crowding it down to
the ninth grade. We ask ourselves
The Conservative, 1901-11-28

ocratic community is one in which ev-
cry member is free to attain the highest
ends of which he is capable and not one
in which every man is equal to every
other in all respects. The practical ac-
ceptance of the latter view destroys
merit in the school and in the individ-
ual, and by rendering the brightest and
best of the community inferior because
Of the denial of the highest ideals is
thoroughly undemocratic. This is at
once apparent when the boy trained in
such a school comes into competition
with one trained in more wisely dem
ocratic community-suchc competition as
he is sure to meet at the portals of ev-
cry good college or professional school.
Friends of the Common Schools.
All this is corrected when the COM
munity learns to trust in men uniting
in themselves both broad sympathies
and high ideals; men who are in close
touch with the people and yet have an
experience and an ideal in education far
above the people. Such should be the
local clergyman, such the local college
man, home on his vacation or settled
down i'll his native town to practice
medicine or law, such above all the high
school teacher, whose business and priv
ilege it is to know the highest truth
and to bring it within reach of the
lowest boy or girl.
We all know such men, we know
many communities in which they are
quietly and patiently at work, raising
standards of education and inspiring
effort toward those standards. The sta
tistics of our public high schools show, in
spite of much that is very weak and
very crude, that while the number of
schools is growing, the course is also
lengthening and leading in more cases
to higher institutions; also that more
substantial subjects like Latin and
mathematics are being pursued and for
longer period by each pupil. Thus
we may hope that the pretentious, the
ephemeral, the gaudy, the demagogical
in our higher schools of the people may
pass away, and the sound, the lasting
the beautiful, the ideal, may take its
place.
