N. c., as his home, today administered
q singing rebuke to the editor of the
Evening Telegraph. The paper made
reference to a legacy left by a
wealthy Westerner to his town to be

could not happen in the South, where

they do not celebrate the Fourth"
In his rebuke Nichols said: THE
absolute lack of truth in the state

and maligant spirit shown. In no sec

heartily celebrated than in the South.

The victims, who were miners and
laborers, all resided in Nanticoke and
most of them leave families. They
were Poles or Slavs with the execution
of one named John Kemper.
Intense excitement continues to pre-
vail about the mouth of the shaft to-
night. Women and children are run

those who are at the bottom.
There are fully rs miners and labor

moral effect of the policy of conquest
as shown in disregard for the prin-
ciple that government derive their
powers from the consent of the gov

nate and suppress public discussion
and opinion, spoke of the great power
welded by the President in the con-
duct of our foreign relations, saying:
THE Constitution provides that on
ly Congress shall have power to de-
clare war. But it is within the power
of the President, if he desires war, to
create, b yh conduct of our foreign
relations situations which make war
inevitable.
ut may happen on such an occa-
sion, Congress being opposed to war,
would not consent to it if consulted

by things already done, by accom-
plished facts, which make the escape
from war exceedingly difficult, if not
imposs. BILE.
