A Victory for Public Sentiment.

The sense of relief that comes to
all in the announcement that the end
of the protracted anthracite coal
strike is in sight is heightened
by the realization that the outcome
is due to the force of public senti-
ment. 1t has been so long since the
true impulse of the people of this
country has been emphasized and un-
derstood in the disposition of a ques-
ton involving the common welfare
of the people, as well as a measure of
pronounced public policy, that what
has now happened seems like the re-
vival of old times, when the voice of
the people was heard in the land.
1t was the force of public senti-
ment that caused the president of
the United States to act in this mat
ter. 1t was the force of public senti-
ment that finally brought the mine
operators down off their high horses.
And it was the force of public senti-
ment that resulted in a elimination
of the controversy favorable to the
fair and just contention of the min
ers. The unwavering, unyielding con-
viction of the people which would
not tolerate political bluffs, or bluffs
from the mine owners, that stood
like a rock in the face of defiance
from consolidated wealth and power,
and that finally forced the chief eX-
ecutive of the nation to "go through
with the piece" Notwithstanding that
it was disagreeable task, has tri-
lImphed, as it should always do, and
as it will always do, if it insists upon
making its influence and determine
ton felt.
Public sentiment has won this fight,
and that public sentiment attained
its victory, not through the force of
armed Intervention or oppression,
but through the medium which may
always be relied upon to reflect it
correctly-the press. Justice has tri-
umphed over might.

The satisfaction that Gen. Alger
seems to gain from the self-convinceti
idea that his appointment and pros
pective election to the omitted States
senate is a vindicatiOn of his conduct
of the war office during the Spanish
American war, is another of ths'
amusing incidents of the political
trend of the times from the republi-
can standpoint. Gen. AIger will some
day realize that as far as connection
with the Spanish-American war i
concerned, you may break or shatter
that record if you will, but the scent
of embalmed beef will cling round it

last democratic state convention at
Springfield. 1t was on this occasion
that the Rock Island county delega-
ton chose to make enemies rather
than friends of the leading represen-
tatives of the party in the neighbor-
ing counties in the newly formed
Thirty-third senatorial district. The
result is what might reasonably have
been expected. Friction was aroused
where there should have been har-
mony.
Mr.. Moore was the choice of the
Rock Island county democratic con
vention. As such he has had the in
dorsement of The Argus, and in ever"
relation to the political affairs of the
district he should have met with no
obstacle in securing the valid nomin-
alton for the office tU-wfrfch he as
pires.
The Rock Island county democratic
convention gave him not only its in
dorsement. but reposed in him and
his friends the power to secure the
nomination from the properly const;-
tuted senatorial convention.

The waters of the Mississippi have
receded sufficiently to show the bene-
fetal effect the Burlington bridge en-
bankment has upon that tract of land
lying between the mainland and the
dixie built some years ago by the gov
eminent at Alton. The high waters
carried all kinds of debris, mud and
sand over the dixie into the pocket.
and when the waters fell all this stuff
was left in the pocket, because the
embankment built by the bridge peO-
pie last year killed the current, and
the pocket held fast to everything
coming its way. 1t is said the peck
ct was filed up IS inches or more
this summer, and that it will be only
n matter of a few years until the higl
waters alone will fill up the place and
convert it into one of the most valua-
BILE building sites for manufacturing
purposes in the city of Alton.

The committee went away with d
loftier opinion of Will Bryan. the
struggling young lawyer. They feIt
convinced that he would be heard
from in the future history of the
country, but having been witnesses
to his slow, laborious development
they could scarcely be expected to
read his future with as optimistic
eye as it deserved.
William Jennings Bryan has scared
to Otter height in reputation for
spontaneous oratory than any man
since the days of Henry. His pur-
pose in so far as public speaking is
concerned, has been realized. But

jay. once newspaper man of bril-
liant force. is not himself. While on
the staff of the Chicago Tribune.
about six years ago, jay was detailed
to size up the big street car riot at
Milwaukee, having become so detail
ed because of his wonderful resources
as a news-gatherer and ability as Il
descriptive writer. But alas! that
night was his undoing. He was
struck in the back of the head with
one of the numerous missiles that
filed the air and laid low, his skull
fractured. and was taken away in
sensible to n hospital. There he la.r

his life was a blank. He slowly int

discharged from the hospital to face
the world. lie has lost his properrJ

extremity and proven faithless. lie
was a nervous wreck and could stand
no excitement such as active news
paper work entails. and since his dis
charge he has had to be content with
such modest work as can be picked
up i'm the circulation departments.
Though the newspaper men general
ly are sympathetic and never decline
to make place for Jay when they
can, the great newspaper in whose
service his life was ruined has never
shown any apparent concern for his
welfare. Such is the world in those
days of scramble and rush; but we
are told that even the sparrow's fall is
marked, and that life's reward is not
all computed in dollars.

HAYTIEN TOWN IN RUINS.
Petit Goave Is Destroyed by RevoIv.
tionists.

ItOnIStS.
Port au Prince, Hayti, Aug. 49,
The correspondent OF the Associated
Press visited Petit Goave yesterday
and found that the town had been en-.
tirely destroyed, there being nothing
left but a pile of ruins.
About 1000 persons are homeless
and are greatly in need of assistance
The greater number of them have
sought shelter in the Simmonds fac
tories, near the town. The French
cruiser Du Assas arrived at Petit
Goave with provisions for the suf
ferers and returned to Port au Prince
with 200 women and children and fit
teen wounded men. The authorities
refused to permit the Firminists to
leave, fearing they would go to other
points and take up arms again.
Each party accuses the other of hav.
Ing set fire to Petit Goave. but the
general belief is that General Chicoye
the Firminist commander, resolved to
destroy the town when he saw that he
could not hold it against Fouchardists
The gunboat Crete-a-Pirot, which is
In the Firmin service, gave notice OF
the blockade of Cape Haytien. The
foreign consuls here and Commander
McCrea of the United. States gunboat
Machias protested against this action
Soldiers have again gone out from
here and battle in a few days is be
heved to be inevitable. The bad feel
Ing against foreigners has increased

Chicago, Aug. 13.-Officers Timothy

men of the Chicago police department,
were killed in a revolver battle with
what is supposed to have been a gang

The fight occurred just before dawn

the west side. The fusillade Of shots
aroused the entire neighborhood.
Citizens who heard the dying police.

and saw men running away.
