The Samoan commission has concluded its labors at Berlin, and the question now is afl to whether Mr. Phelps or Mr. Kaason will remain in Berlin.

Retrenchment in city expenditures and revenue from saloon license will pat Terre Haute in shape to go ahead with the boom the oil discovery will give to the citv.

There is one thing to be said for the Chicago newspapers: They not only ferret out crime but "speak their mind," no matter how honeycombed with evil influence may be all the machinery of local politics and local offices.

Several of the editors of Democratic and Independent newspapers in this congressional district, of free trade proclivities, met here yesterday afternoon and, according to the. Gazette, discussed "business matters." No one need be surprised, however, if following this meeting there is a faesh outbreak of robber tariff rabies.

Judge Tuley iB right, no doubt, as to the legal status of the case against Alexander Sullivan but from the full reports of the investigations inside the Clan-na-Qael there seems to be no doubt that he was cognizant, and in part instigator, of dynamite murder plots in England. Dynamiters societies of no description have a right to organize in this country —even for the sake of poor Ireland,

The city's financial condition demands one or two means of relief: a greater rev enue or less expenditure. The former can be secured by imposing a saloon license or increasing the tax rate. The tax rate is high, now there is no saloon license. There should be a license of $250 a year and this would bring not less than 820,COO in all. But, we can go farther. The expense of the police and fire department can be reduced in all $20,000 a year without detriment to the service. Why not save the taxpayers $40,000 by doing both these things, whose advisability no one questions from a business standpoint.

subscriptions for their relief are being taken In the larger cities of the state.— [Muncle Times. So, here it is up to 0,000 miners! This sort of misrepresentation our friends, the free traders, are making about the strike of the block coal miners, a strike no different from any of the many that have taken place in the coal regions of the United States, in the anthracite districts for instance, whose coal is not protected by the tariff. The miners are being used now as were the farmers in the free trade harangues last fall, when the amount of farm mortgages was asserted to be nine times as great as it was in fact.

There is a desperate attampt on the part of the Democrats to make it appear that President Harrison is not recognizing the colored citizen in and about Indianapolis. We beg leave to call attention to the fact that the Mississippi colored citizens have just met in conference and strongly endorsed -President Harrison's course and that, therefore, the colored citizen at Indianapolis who basks in the sunshine of all the opportunities afforded by the elective franchise should be content with his fortunate lot. The colored Republican in Mississippi who runs the risk of being shot instead of being cojoled on election day is deserving of first attention .from the president.

THE MINERS STRIKE.

THE EXPRESS will take no part in the discussion of the merits of the question involved in the wages dispute between the block coal operators and the miners. The operators have declined to submit their side of the case to arbitration and consequently a third party has no standing in any such discussion, however clear and strong might be his views on the issue between these employers and their employes, but THK EXPRESS does desire to repeat that the starvation talk is|!|aU bosh. When we say this we do not mean to be understood as advocating that doctrine which actuates an employer to buy his labor where he can get it cheapest, or of taking the undue advantage of capital overlabor, ignoring the truest of all doctrines, that the laborer is worthy of his hire, but we do insist that this effort to work upon the sympathies of the people at large shall not be based on false pretenses of political demagogues.

No one fully acquainted with the facts and who is not wholly given to lying will assert that the rate of wages which prevailed up to the strike were "starvation wages." At eighty-five cents a ton an average miner working eight hours would make more than two dollars a day. The statement that they made but $5 a week has gone broadcast with the other one that there are 9,000 minera out of work. If a miner made but $5 a week it

man's

raistKisfflffl

was because he did not work much non than a third of week, and for this lack of industry there are two reasons: Either he would not work more hours, or there was sot work enough for all at full hours. Suppose we give tbe miner credit for the utmost industry and accept the reason that the demand for coal was not sufficient to employ the miners all the time. We find, therefore, that it was a question of one-half the miners earning att tbe wages or dividing the work among all miners. Eighty-five cents is a higher rate of wages than paid during the many years when the block ootl field wis developing, drawing to it miners from all directions and making of the county and its chief city a model of booming communities. What nonsense it is, then, to sssert now that this rate of wages brought on starvation. Isn't it plain that it is a question of supply and dedemand for coal? As to whether the block coal operators can afford to accept a compromise rate, should one be offered by the miners, we do not propose to express an opinion. It is not our province to pass upon the management of another

business, but we desire to have outsiden understand the facts, as miners and all others here do, to the end that all may not be opiated. The people in the coal region saw this crisis approaching. The miners saw it, and all of us, reading and hearing of the displacement of block coal as fuel waited the event. Some, perhaps, were apprehensive as to the attitude of the few companies that control the output. Would they take advantage of the reduced consumption to drive a harder bargain with the miners? Who will volunteer to answer that question now? Certainly, the man who in doing so behis answer in partisan malis not to be listened to. is the one who wilmisstates the facts and figures, operators decline arbitration. Where then is the candid and unprej udiced man who will undertake to decide whether the operators are trying to do this thing, unless he arrive at his decision on presumption or suspicion?

There is distress in all strikes nothing phenomenally so in this one and there would have been no sensation in it had it not been for the concerted efforts of a few politicians to make use of it for political purposes. The Brazil correspondent of the Indianapolis Sentinel which newspaper gave the cue to Mr. Voorheesto use the dispute for party advantage, yesterday said:

The little city of Brazil Is just now getting plenty of advertising, but Its citizens do not appear to appreciate the fact There area number out-of-town newspaper men here at the present time, and the variety of correspondence that is emanat lng from the scene of the big strike 1B quite aston lshlng. "I can't quite understand It,'*- exclaims one old resident "We have had plenty of strikes like this—only some of them were worse—and the papers heretofore have never printed columns about It. As a matter of fact, we have been lots worse off than at the present lime." The Illhumor over the situation of flairs Is quite general, and has become a little unreasonable, to say the least

The appeal for charity should never be disregarded, and will not be in this instance if .it is worthy, and it must be heeded if any one is hungry and in want, but the appeal must not be instigated by political motives.

C. O. D.

An Evasive Answer.

Wlckwlre—Say, Tabsley, how about the report about town that your landlady refused to let yoH have your trunk when you changed your lodging house last week?

Tabsley—There was nothing in It. An Uncertain Business. Wlbbie—I wonder if it would pay to start a dime museum In this town

Wabble—I doubt It. The dime museum business is mighty uncertain—full of freaks, so to speak.

The Ruling Passion.

The old sport was dying. There could be no doubt on that subject The young minister had given him all the preparation he could for the solemn journey, and the old boy was calmly awaiting the fateful call. "Parson," said he, "do you think you have succeeded In squaring It all right?" "I hope so," replied the good man. "I feel quite confident that we will meet In heaven." "Parson," said the dying man, after a few minutes' thought, "you have treated me right, and I wouldn't give you the worst of It If I could. Tell you what I'll do, I'll bet you we do or I'll bet you we don't."

In these day* of advancement form such a thing as lottery dealing |a Philadelphia has so vaniahedthat a raid on a "poker club" is surpriBing—more because anything evil in tbe way of chance

or

game

of

that kind exista than because

they have been stopped, says the Philadelphia Press. So long and ao stringently have tbe laws been enforced that open lottery work has ceased to exist entirely. Not so in the early part ot the oentury. Fifty-five years ago theequare on Chestnut between Third and Fourth streets waa filled with lottery offices, and at one time there was no leea than thirty separate schemes seeking public favor andsupport in this state—aggregating in amount $5,000,000. Some of these had been operated from the beginning of the century.

On August 16, 1806, George xfcylor, jr gave notice in the columns of the Philadelphia Advertiser that the prizes in the Lehigh lottery would tie drawn at the state house, Philadelphia Moreover, he published a "dodger", warning people against the sinful negligence of not-tfronding for their fami lifts wh«B tb® fto influence and fortune was open to th*™ "by the small investment of 910 in this well known and reliable enterprise." The drawing took place in the open air close to the main entrance, of the state house, a girl blindfolded taking the prizes from the wheel. Although as far back as 1762 an act of assembly forbade all gamee of chanoe in this state, it waa not until 1840 that stringent meaagns were taken to drive the lottery dealers out of business.

In order to placate public sentiment many at these schemes were gotten up for the benefit of churches, schools and bridges. The steeple on Christ Church, on Second street, was buUt from the proceeds of a lottery. In 1808 Wllliam Kean, whose office was opposite the state house, advertised the Second Baptist Church lottery, with prizes aggregating $59,220, tickets $12. There were also Hphftm— for the benefit of a Universalist Church and for the Roman Catholic Holy Trinity Church.

Hope & Co., No. 63 Cheatnut street, in 1818, were very enterprising in advertising their business, and like some of our modern tailors had a poet of their own whose verses were ingeniously bad as the following specimen will Bhow:

Ye in search of Fortune's smiles, Have a care which way yego

Hear not, heed not, thou wicked wiles Would check your speed to Hope A Co In 1816, S. and M. Allen, No. 18 south Third street, announced that the grand prize of $100,000, in the surgical institute lottery of Baltimore, was drawn by three sisters and again in June, 1820, they let their patrons know that a capital prize of $25,000 had been paid to a "respectable grocer of south Second street," but when it came to be known that the winner was brother-in-law to one of the firm, some doubts were ex

SIn

reseed as to the fairness of the drawing. November 18,1776, congress authorized a lottery for the purpose of raising $100,000 to My the troope. The ticketa were $1, ana Robert Morris invested $1, 090 therein. The state of Pennsylvania was interested in the Union canal scheme, the grandest enterprise of the kind ever undertaken in the North. It was started for the purpose of building two canals, and was authorized in 1795. Ostensibly for $100,000, it was so con trived that almost any amount could be made if the tickets were taken by the public, but for a long time it did not succeed. It was generally regarded as a swindle, and several of the large dealers tried to make it go, without success. held the ground, and sold out to Yates AJMcIntyre for $15,0C0. These were men of energy and capital moreover, the terms were propitious for any kmc of gambling scheme, and from 1820 to 1830 this lottory was a source of enormous wealth to the lucky owners. They spent money freely in advertising, not less than two hundred thousand dollars going to the papers of the day, and when the matter was investigated by the house of representatives in 1832 it was shown that the business had produced a net profit of $2,124,889. Those who are inolined to take a pessimistic view of modern legislative methods should give some attention to the history of the twenty years preceding 1837, and they will be compelled to admit that our politicians and business men of today are guileless and innocent when con treated with the men who flourished in those corrupt and evil times.

In 1820 John Francis sold tickets on the southeast corner of Third and Cheatnut, and on the southwest corner G. and R. Waite had their office. Their device waa a woman dancing on a wheel and showering gold around from an inverted cornucopia. They also had an office 181 Broadway, New York, and were considered the leading house in the business. "Mike" Fortune was at 327 Chestnut street, and he also kept a "poet," whose ingenuity was solely taxed in making manifest tbe felicitous coincidence between Mik's name and hia business. Thomas Gibbs, who was opposite Fortune's, did not deal in poetry, but allured his patrons by the sight of a mechanical singing bird, that cost him, it is Baid, $2,500.

Of course many curious Btoriss were told about the winners of prizes. Here is one that the lottery dealers saw fit to publicly deny as a fiction, but whiohis undoubtedly true, the late John Bolster ling, last mayor of the Northern Liberties, being cognizant of the facts, which he communicated to the writer. In 1821 a German named Groff, from one of tbe back counties in this state, came to Philadelphia. He had but 25 cents in his pocket when he reached the city and with this bought a lottery ticket from John Francis, Third and Chestnut streets, and a few hours afterwards drew $20, and, paying $1 for another ticket, he started on a spree with the rest of the money, and

btaggering

along the wharf,

his hat blew into the river, and he was drowned in trying to recover it. The hat was picked up, and in the lining the lottery ticket was found, and shortly after it drew $5,000. Graff's family was notified and secured the money. He had three sons and a wife. In a quarrel over the division of the prize two of the boys killed each other. Shortly after this the mother and remaining son were drowned crossing a creek, both being drunk at the time. The money came to their only relative, a cigarmakec, who lived in the Northern Liberties, in this city. He celebrated hia good fortune by a debauch that caused bis death in a month. Having no heirs, the ill-fated money was taken by the state.

In 1822 the late General Robert Patterson won $8,000, having reoeived the ticket from one of hia draymen in the way of change, and in 1825 Joeeph Dugan, a rich merchant of the time, drew $130,000. Of this he contributed $500 to the deaf and dumb asylum, and $200 to the Washington monument to be erected in Independence square. Tommy Dodd, a well-known wood-sawyer, drew $10,000 from Mike Fortune,

GKNTLKKiX AND A BANDIT.

HAVANA, June 14.—Christobal Fernandez Delgado, the bandit who kidnapped Senor Domingo Ugarte some time ago, and who was executed at Jovellanoe, leavee a wife who is a sister of the late notorious bandit Bengu Romero. The courage and serenity displayed by Fernandez in his last moments were such as to attract general attention. Neither while being conveyed to the scaffold nor while mounting it did he make the least reristance.

Seating himself upon the stool upon which those about to be executed were placed, with a clear, firm voice he begged forgiveness of all whom he had injured, and then told the executioner to act quickly, as he( Fernandez) waa ready and in a hurry. The condemned man was 26 years of age.

Several years ago a brother of his, named Rafael Fernandez, alias Maravilla, while confined in the Cienfuegoe jail, committed suicide by hanging.

Yesterday morning a car being repaired in the shop yards by a number of carpenters was knocked from the barrele on which it was resting by a switch train backing down on it without warning. One end of the falling car pinned Charles H. Attmore to the ground, and when he was ssaisted to arise it was found that he had been badly bruised about the knees and ankles, and that his breast and back waa severely strained. Mr. Attmore, who is about sixty years old, and has a wife and family, was removed to his home, and Dr. Lukine, in the abaenoe from the city of Dr. Rice, the company physician, called to attend him. W. R. Wallace, another ot the workmen, reoeived a severe out over the eye and a number of minor bruises, but none ot them of a serious nature. The workmen and other witnsesss ot the accident severely censure the trainmen for their carelessness, and say that no warning was given that the train was to be backed in on the track where tbe accident occurred. After the accident occurred, one of the trainman stated that it waa their intention to run in on another track, and he could not aee how the accident occurred, unless it was that the man whoee dnty it was to throw the awttch neglected to doeou

When it ie known that hydrogen flame yields a heat in burning five timee greater than carbon, or about two thouaand to two thousand five hundred degrdte, one may form some idea of the ^l^aity of this little contrivance for producing heat.

By increasing the temperature of the gas pipe to about four hundred degreee, the vapor may be deoompoeed into ite gasee before exit from the pipe, and in such cases it is emitted in a jet of blue flame. In either case the oxy-hvdn flame is easily produoed and with a very small consumption of fuel.

No exact test has yetbe-ra made, but it is safely estimated that thie discovery will effect a saving in cook stoves and heaters of seven-eighthe of the fuel. It will cook especially well with soft ooal It may easily be adjusted to blacksmiths' forges. One important feature is its cheapness it may be ad jus tod to the oommon stove for $10, and it is very simple, having no delicate parts to get out of repair.

Ex-Governor Gray at Tacoma, Wash. Special Dispatch te the Globe-Democrat. TACOMA, Wash., June 13.—Ex-Gov-ernor Isaac P. Gray, of .Indiana, arrived in this city to-day. He is registered at the Tacoma. Governor Gray sayB he is out here purely for pleasure and declines to talk politics but an- Indiana friend who had hia ear says the governor is going to make a desperate effort toget into tbe seat of Daniel Voorheea in theilflitftl wilf meet with the determined oppoeition of not only Voorheee' friends, but thoee of ex-Senator McDonald. The latter is particularly bitter against Gray. The Indiana friend also said that Governor Gray is of the opinion he would have made a stronger run than Thurman had he been nominated on the ticket with Cleveland. While on his way out here the governor stopped at Spokane Falla to see the man he defeated for governor of Indiana in 1884, Judge W. A.

Calkins, of the supreme bench of this territory. A Tacoma newspaper man informed the governor that Senator Pugb of Alabama, while here with the sena torial committee a week ago, had de dared in favor of Gray as the Democratic nominee in 1892. This made the gov enor smile with a perceptible twitch of his upper lip.

Senator W. Chandler to be Re-elected CONOOHD.N. H.,Junel3.—To-night W. E. Chandler was made the Republican caucus nominee for United States senator. Previous to the balloting Mr. Sulloway, of Manchester, said he had heard reports that persons in the interest of Chandler had been offering $550 for one vote and $1,200 for two votes. Mr. Varney, of Dover, said a gentleman called at hia house laat Sunday and told him that a person had been offered these sums. Senator Corning, of Concord, said be was authorized by Mr. Chandler to deny the charges. These speeches created intense excitement. After the vote had been announced, Mr. Chandler appeared in the caucus and addressed it briefly, accepting the nomination. He pledged his sacred honor that he had done nothing undignified, unworthy or dishonest in the conduct of his canvass had spent no money or promised no money for votes.

Jim Rice, of Indiana.

Jim Rice, of Indiana, is a man after Dave Hill's ewn heart. In an interview yesterday at New York he is quoted as saying: "I am with tbe Democratic party independent of its platform." Of course. That is Jim Rice all over. Principles count nothing with him. He would "holler" just as loud and whoop up the boys just as lively on a protection as on a revenue reform platform, and so long as there remained an offioe in Bight Jim's fidelity could not be shaken.
