GOOD NEWS
FOR MINERS
From Upper End Of the State
Where Organization is
Progressing.

Our regular correspondent. from
Newburg sums up the situation III
that locality in the following
manner:
The work Of organizing, the
miners in Monongalias. and Preston
counties is moving along nicely
under the management Of Board
Member Il. II. Shay and Organizer
J. a. Springer.
The mines at Rock Forge, Mo-
nOngalla county, owned by the
| DcckeiS Creek Coal and Coke Go. /,
is well organized and the company
is highly c!atcd over the new order
of things, declaring that they now
have Il better class OF men than
ever before, whoare better satisfied
with their conditions, lose less
time and are more sober and in
duStriouS than heretofore.
There are a good many organized
men at the Richard mine which is
owned by the iEikins people, who
are not opposing the efforts to or.
ganizc them and the work Of get
ting them all in the union is pro
crossing SLOW but sure.
The men at the Brett mine are
fairly well organized. but the in
dicationS are that it will be thor
ouShly organized by the time
their new hall is completed, which
is being erected by the Loca! Union
at that p acr.
Considerable difficulty is being
experienced by McSSrS. Shay and
! Springer in their work from the
fact that 4 few chronic kickcrs at
Tunnrlton and Victory are rctard-
ing their efforts by continually
knocking and kicking ever since
they have been working in the
field, but it is to be hoped that
they will take Il tumble to them
selves in the rear future and assist
i'll the organization Of That field in :
stead of ret:rtling it.
There is plenty of work in this
llcid but the men are not making
The wages they should and will
not receive it until every man is in
the organization aud standing
shoulder to shoulder with his fei
low worker.

Is much of the nature of delrium," said
former President Grover Cleveland In an
Interview yesterday. lin the popular outcry
against railroad corporations We shall
all be ashamed of It by and by. There is
much that is not only groundlass, but
wrong in the off-hand attack made on the
railroads by thoughtless people. We should
reflect that the railroads are vitally re-
lated to our prosperity and that to attack
them needlessly is to attack ourselves II
is not the stock of soulless millionaires.
but the property of citizens widows and
children whose earnings are invested in
railroads that are being damaged. We
should recall what railroads have been
and are to be in the development of our
country and this craze win pass. or course
there must be some form OF governmental
supervision but IL should be planned in a
quiet hour, not in one Of angry excitement.
Popular emotions follow peculiar laws"
Discussing the political situation, Mr..
Cleveland said:
1T behooves democrats to lose no time
In bringing to the front the issue of tariff
reform and in focusing the attention of the
country upon H. Tariff reform is the issue
that will clarity the atmosphere, solidify
the friends of democracy and bring victory

court-martial of neglect of duty in con-

August was the only man in Brownsville
who could have handled the situation
believe he was scseiy responsible for the
prevention of a disaster and he did this
work through his personal force and Will.
DIR Combe said to me that when he met
that band of 300 armed men that night he
told them to return, that If they were con-
templatng marching to the post they did
not appreciate what they were really do
ing In going against three of the best mil
itary companies in the world and that they
would be wiped of the face Of the earth
1T was only his indomitable will and
courage that prevented Brownsville from
being in ruins today, for II that mob had

have done would have been to defend my

BONAPARTE ON SOCIALISM
Doctrine Justified Neither by Reason
Nor History and Contradicted
by Experience.

NEW YORK March 2i-Attorney Cen
eral Charles ]. Bonaparte lectured at Car
negie hall tonight on Socialism and Char
ity. Archbishop John NJ Farley pre-
sided.
1t has been said on high authority"
said Mr.. Bonaparte. that the poor need
not aims, but a friend l should say rather
that they need both. Aims, to do good,
must come and be felt to come from
friend
"As l have said on another occasion. the
root Of socialism Is the doctrine that all
men Of right ought to be and therefore
should be made and kept precisely equal
This doctrine is wholly arbitrary dogma
pure assumption, justified neither by rea-
son nor by history, and, in fact, contra
dicted by the daily experience Of all man
ldnd but Il is so earnestly and so widely
preached by the precursors and apostles OF
the French revolution and has so gravely
affected legislation, custom and public
opinion wherever the influence of the revo-
luton extended, that to question its truth
even now seems to a certain class of teach
ers and thinkers little short OF blasphemy.
In its original and salutary form and as
II found echo in our Declaration Of Inde-
pendence, the cry Of eqality' was coupled
with one for liberty and In this country
It amounted to protest against arbitrary
and oppressive privileges against dstinc-
tions Justified by no material difference, to
demand that the law give every man
fair field and no favor But II was quickly
seen that to make men more free would
make them less nearly equal. that the
fairer the start the more quickly and
surely would some come to the front and
others fall behind, that, in short, II
equality had the same meaning which
leaders in revolutionary thought are more
and more inclined to give It, equality is
inconsistent with liberty and they must
choose between them; they recognized. in
fact though not in words this necessity
and gave up liberty"

What disturbs me more than the attitude

all the more urgent thu no countenance

southern lynchngs are so disheartening to
the friends of equal right as the acqui-
escence of such men as President CleVe-
land, President Eliot OF Harvard and Bishop
Lawrence of Massachusetts, all desirous of
uplifting the colored race, In the nullih-
cation OF the fifteenth amendment and the

GREAT IN HIS EVIL INFLUENCE
Tribute from Opponent to Personal
Purity Of Leader 81 Russian
RenctiOnarIes.

ST. PETERSBURG. March 2A-The news
papers today call attention to the death
Of NJ. Pobedonostseff. ex-procurator general
of the holy synod, and unite in'an apprecia-
ton Of his commanding personal qualities,
irreproachable character, indefatigable
energy. deep erudtion and great powers
Of mind and will. by reason Of which ne
was the most dangerous enemy 70 Russian
liberty. The ultimate failure of all the
aims to which he had consecrated his life
permits the country to Judge him without
rancor. His death is accepted as the
boundary between the sombro epoch when
his guidance was supreme and the new
era of liberty against which he fought
inexorably, the sight Of a complete triumph
Of which history spared him. The country
views the dramatic moment when he II
lowered under the tombstone beneath which
he endeavored to keep the nation, but from
which the nation already has escaped. The
greatest interest is attached to the ap-
probation of him by PROF. Paul Milukoff
editor Of the Reeh, in which the guiding
personality of the new era estimates the
careers Of the guiding spirit OF the old
with Pobedonostsefrs whole era Rus
sian history sinks into the grave. To him
personally Russia is indebted for twenty
five years of postponement Of constitu-
tiOnal life, which has made the delayed
process of liberation so stormy and painful
now" says Prof. MilulSoff. "As the mentor
Of Alexander III he personally was the
author OF the famous manifesto about the
maintenance Of the autocraey which blasted
the hopes awakened by the reforms Of
Alexander II. His role in reactionary
circles was peculiar
Aversion to change I'm the organic law
was trait of Pobedonostseff's which grew
with his passing years and led him to try
out every manifestation OF life.
"Pobedonostseff personally was ire
proachable. He never was suspected Of
selfish motives and did not seek power or
influence, These came Naturally because
the dreadful dearth of men in Russia left
him without a competitor in the chief
sphere of influence. When he lost influence
he stepped out without a struggle combining
himself to an old mans utterances of pre-
dictions of a unavoidable future of cata-
clysms. He always was afraid to permit
the full play of life Several years ago no
one could have guessed that Pobedonostsen
could survive himself, but this actually
happened"
