The city finance committee met yesterday to consider the loan of $50,000 ordered to be made by the council at its last meeting. The committee is confronted with a condition which is that, the debt of the city being on the increase, its credit is not BO good 8S it might be. Under such circumstances it would occur to any prudential managers that the thing to do is to quit spending more than the income. This once done there will be no difficulty in: making loans on the best sort of terms.

POLITICS IN CITY SCHOOL MANAGEMENT.

There can be nothing more offensive in partisan politics than the assertion of a vindictive partisan feeling toward a teacher in the public schools, and that is exactly what has been done by the school board. It has been known for some time that the Democratic ward workers and political heelers were demanding a partisan administration in the public schools. They saw that the people had signified their purpose to take from the ring rule its control of other municipal affairs and there came up a demand for the removal of Republicans at the head of school affairs in the city. Before the re-election of Mr. N. Boland, Democrat, by the council as school trustee, it was demanded that he obligate himself to vote with Hoff, the other Democratic member of the board, for the removal of Superintendent Wiley that a Demoorat might be put on guard. There seems to have been a hitch in this programme and a compromise action agreed on by which Prof. Byers, of the High sohool, is dropped.' ihat promotions might be made giving the late Democratic superintendent of county schools the position as principal in one of the city schools.

As much as the EXPRESS deprecates party politics in the schools it can not refrain from calling attention to the fact that should a policy of retribution ever be adopted, the roll of employes in the public schools of Terre Haute, now containing more Democrats, than Republicans, would be a fine field for getting even.

THE MINERS AND THE POLITICIANS.

There can no longer be any doubt as to the concerted plan of the Democratic managers to use the strike of the block coal miners for partisan purposes. The intent is too plainly manifested in all directions. The free-traders and the Democratic press everywhere have simultaneously engaged in an effort at ventriloqttism to fill the land with a cry of despair from Clay county.

THE EXPRESS has every reason for the belief that the block ooal mining industry in Indiana is diftl that most of the mineB were more or less idle previous to this strike, and that many miners now out of work cannot long remain idle without entailing suffering on those who depend upon them. That the consumption of block coal has been greatly decreased none but willful marplots will dispute. Yet THE EXPRESS without regard te the merit of the question of demand and supply in this instance, or to the justice of|the claims either of the miners or operators would call attention to a few neglected facts bearing on the dispute.

In the first plaoe this is a strike against a reduction of wages. The miners in strikes heretofore have been prepared by organization, and by accumulation of f'is funds for the support of strikers to enter on'these contests with reliance on their own resources. At present their labor organizations are engaged internecine warfare, and the result is that they go on a strike depending on public I', support and sympathy—most potent aids It* in any contest between labor and capital. This condition being understood, and the fact recognized that there is no starvatioo, no suffering, as yet—for, if there were, the authorities of Brazil and

Clay oounty authorities, by formal action, would have made it known—we get at the true situation, whioh is that the operators refuse to pay but a certain price for mining, that they will not listen to the best of all propositions in labor disputes, that of arbitration, and that the miners want to make a strong and long fight for what they believe is their just due.

The cry of starvation is a political suggestion, we believe, and believe that it is such more because the men who are shouting it the loudest are professional politicians who are not in sight of the alleged suffering.

THK EXPRESS hopes that when there is a true wail of want in Clay county that it will be heeded in such

a

manner

as

by the American people, and we don't care whether it

himself if he be in want, but we do insist that this ghoulish effort

'$v. *-§1?*^

for instance, contained a sensational report headed in big letters: "Starvation. There werf several columns ol it and this was the closing paragraph:

The operators are of the opinion that hunger will drive the miners to the wall, and that the strike, which occurred over a reduction of from 90 cents to 70 cento on block coal and from 75 cents to 55 cents on bituminous, wOl be at an end.

The assertion as to the opinion of the operators may be true or it may not, but merely to show how reckless this sort of writing is, let us say there is no strike over a reduction from ninety to seventy cents on block coal that these we not the figures at all, and that all the bituminous mines are in operation.

C. O. D.

I* There Never Any Occasion? The new baggageman had dropped a trunk on his foot and his outburst of profanity was so artistic that Its naughtiness was almost overlooked.

Except by one little sweet faced woman. "Isn't It awful how men will swear?" she said to her three feminine companions who had come with her to see her safely oft. "And there Is never any real occasion for it either, and—oh! there goes the bell!" And she got on the carstep, kissed each of her friends, good-bye, told them they must all be sure and write to her e-e-very day and tell her all the news and oh! speaking of news had they beard about Ltl Smlther's quarrel with Charley Tapelet and kiss me again dears I really must hurry for that hateful old conductor Is looking as cross as two sticks and yon all won't forget to write now sure?

The conductor yelled "All aboard!'' for the third and last time, the Innate politeness of the seven men who were wearily waiting for a chance to enter the car was overcome by their fear of getting left, and In the rush which followed she was carried Inside. "Seems to be a extra amount o' sulphur In the coal to-day," remarked the station agent, sniffing the air.

A,

They Were All Chestnuts.

"What are you reading?" asked the Chicago drummer. "The Decameron," replied the Boston drummer. "Ever read It?"

Yes last summer," answered the man from the windy city, "and a fine lot of old wormy chestnuts It Is, too. Why, do you know, there isn't a yarn in It that hasn't been on the road for the last ten years to my personal knowledge. It must take a lot of gall to shove such stale yarns onto the public. Wonder whe^e the fellow lives?"

He got no response. The Athenian had fainted.

EXCHANGE ECHOES.

New York Sun: The question whether the chief justice would leave the bench for a nomination to political office may be regarded as answered in the affirmative. Otherwise his beautiful old Persian mustachlos would before this have felt the barber's shear.

St. Louis Globe-Democrat: The Toronto Globe, in speaking of the Behrlng sea matter, says that "Uje Washington authorities will back down If flrmfy resisted." Our Toronto contemporary overlooks the fact that Mr. Bayard stepped down some three months ago, and that foreign disputes are now dealt with In the firm manner which proved so successful In settling the Samoa difficulty.

Philadelphia Telegraph: The exhibition of discarded virtue is unlikely to prove a paying card, and no one should put herself In the theatrical Bky as a star whose only qualification for such a place is the public record of her shame as told In a divorce court. If society women must go on the stage let them make their entrance by the way of conspicuous talents, and not by the way of notorious personal scandals.

Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette: The Richmond Dispatch is spending a good deal of time and labor and subjecting Itself to a good deal of wear and tear and mental strain to prove that Virginia reserved the right to secede, and at the same time asserts that the question of the right of any state to secede has been settled in the negative forever. Then why bother about a dead Issue? Talk about iron, and cotton, and coal, and peanuts, and tobacco.

BOSTON, June 12.—The directors of the American Bell telephone company to-day declared a regular quarterly dividend of $3 per share and an extra dividend of 16 per share. Both are payable July 15th.

Everything about this society is veiled in secrecy. The camps are known by numbers, likewise the members.

The candidate who presents himself for admission is thus charged by the past guardian:

Ton have come within the walls of our Ce offering yourself (or selves) for application with as. The men who surround you have all taken the obligations of our order and endeavor to fulflll their duties. These duties must be cheerfully compiled with or not at all undertaken. We are Jsjtf men, banded together for the purpose of freeing Jslmboe and elevating the position of the Jsjti race. The lamp of the bitter past plainly points out our path, and the first step on the road to freedom is secrecy. We believe that destitute of secrecy defeat shall again cloud our brightest hopes, and believing this we shall hesitate at no sacrifice to maintain. Be prepared, then, to cast aside, with ns, every thought that may impede the growth of this holy feeling among Jsjtlnfo, for once a member of the bd you must stand by Its watchword of secrecy, obedience, and love. With this explanation, are you prepared to take our obligations and perform its duties?

After further questioning, the following oath, commanding him not to reveal the secrets of the order under pain of death, is administered:

I [name in full.| do solemnly swear, in the presence of Almighty God, that I will labor while life Is left me to establish and defend a republican form of government to Jsfmboe that I will keep strictly secret ths name and everything connected with this ce from all not entitled to know such secrets that I will obey and comply with the constitution and laws of the ce, and that I will faithfully preserve the funds of the ce for the cause of the Jsjti revolution alone as specified In the constitution that I will deem it my special duty and mission to promote and foster sentiments of union, brotherly love and nationality among all Jsltlnofo that I take this obligation without any mental reservation, holding the same forever binding upon me, and that any violation thereof or desertion of my duty to the brotherhood Is Infamous, and merits the severest punishment, so help me God.

After the adjuration from the commander, "Keep it as you value your life," and from the junior guardian, "keep it at the hazard of your life," the initial tion is complete. The members of this revolutionery society are alleged American citizens who, when they became

Buch,

took another oath not only renouncing "all allegience and fidelity to every foreign prinoe, potentate, state, or sovereignty," but declaridg that they would support the constitution of the United States. This oath seems to them to be of little consequence as compared with the oath ot the United Brotherhood, by which, under pain ofdeath, they swear to keepsecret the details of their plots and conspiracies,, against a foreign government with which their own government is at peace.

The secret methods of this unconstitutional and revolutionary Kuklux organization are not pleasant revelations for American readers. They show that while the entire membership may not be responsible there is a faction within that membership which is antagonistic to every principle of law and order, which is violating the laws of nations, which is breaking the obligations of the federal constitution it hss swornto support, and is disregarding the firet and simplest duties of American citizenship. It is time that theee men were made to understand' that their operations are not in consonance with -American principles or American institutions, and that the American people have no sympathy either with their conspiracy of dynamite and force against a foreign government or with the disgusting and brutal methods of assassination and terrorism pursued against each other at home. The one is as abhorrent as the other. They have been repudiated over and over again by Mr. Parnell himself, the illustrious constitutional agitator, and it is now time not only that the American people repudiate them, but make the demand in such a manner as to be clearly understood that these secret and unlawful organizations shall be exterminated, not only that they may no longer conspire for force against a foreign country but that they shall not any longer dominate the municipal authorities, obstruct the operation of law and justice, and prevent the punishment of crime in our

midBt.

They area pesti­

lent menace to our free institutions and it is time that they were torn up, root and branch, and their existence made a penal offense. They are as dangerous to the public peace, as menaoing to law, and as un-American in character and purpose as the anarohist organizations or the Kukluk klan of the South. If the investigation now going on shall have no other result than to expose the real nature of this revolutionary organization and lead to its disruption it will have answered a good and important purpose.

SSH: QMW IMMS Pmsut ky tt Gna4 Jury.

Some extnoidiiiary faota hare come to light reepenting the iMrtboda followed by Leon Bailey's federal crawl jury, which found indictments in aooh abundance aays the Indianapolis Newa. By the confession of the foreman ot the jury, the. jury returned blocks ot indictments without knowing what they warn.

The News has authority for that William T. Leonard, who waa foreman ot the j(ii7, signed as many as sixty-three indictments in the deputy prosecutor's room, while the rulss of the court require that they ahall be signed in the grand jury room in the presence of the jury and by their direction. "I didn't know whether theae indictments were correct or not," Mr. Leonard says. "I was always called into Mr. Bailey's room in a hurry, and I signed indictments without comparing them with the prosecutor's minutes. I signed indictments in many instanoee without calling the attention ot the jury to the evidence on whioh they were baaed or even knowing myself whether the indictments wen correct or not."

It appeara that indictments were returned in many instanoee by the jury when the jury had no knowledge as to whether they wen justified by the evl denoe. The method* employed bring sll the work of the jur* into discredit. The usual course is for the foreman to present the evidence in a case, ask the jury'e opinion, and if directed by them to sign the indictment in their preaence. In lieu of*this the substitute method waa for Mr. Leonard to go into Mr. Bailey's room, sign a bundle of papers, and report to the jury that he had signed a soon or more of indictments. He says that in many oasea he could not tell anything of the character, of the evidence on whioh indiotments wen based.

The recklessness with which indictments wen found may be imagined from the results of the work ot the jury which hss just adjourned. Bailey's jury returned 164 indictments, of which 139 wen election CaSee. Of thsse, 111 were reviewed by the present jury. Nine ot them wen nnewed—two for bribery (both Republican*) Seventeen the new jury refused to nnew, and these will be nollied because they an without substantiating evidence. The remainder will take the usual course.

Then is every reason to believe that there was much corruption in the late election, but in the effort to implicate ^Republicans by the wholesale Mr. Bailey's jury seems to have done some reckor

ILLINOIS MINERS SEEKING WORK..-

The Strikers Applying to Such Operators as Will Pay Last Year's Prices.

STREATOR, III., Jane 12.—For sixweeks past nearly three thousand coal miners in this immediate vicinity have been idle rather than accept the proposed reduction of 10 cents per ton. As a result then has been conBidenble suffering among the minen and their families, and soliciton an out in this and other cities asking for aid. A meeting of 1,500 minen waa held in the public park this afternoon and waa addressed by District President Reed, of Bracevilla, and David Roes, of Oglesby. Both declared that the demands of the operators were unjust. They advised the men to go to work whenver individual operators wen willing to pay laat year's rates—eighty cants per ton. Some of the smaller operators have agreed to these terms, and the men will go to work in their ahafts. This move on the part of the men is expected to soon bring about a settlement of the difficulty. The Chicago, Wilmington and Vermillion ooal company haa cloeed both its large mines hen, and insists that it will make no attempt to operate them baton next fall.
