A THE EXPRESS would call especial atation to the reports from the mining ions, reprinted this morning from the

Ifdianapolis News. The News was one •»of ^bhe newspapers that had an attack of rabies when Senator Voorhees told the ^/public that the strike was owing 0. to the robber tariff. The News, howjp ever, has a conscience and is a first-class newspaper, however much it may desire to advance the cause of free trade, or tariff reform, as it choses to denominate it and so it has come about that it is now giving the people the truth regarding the mining situation.

Chicago Is a great town for business, but the report that a company has been organized there for the purpose of shipping [canned missionaries Africa Is possibly a canard.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.

"Pension Frauds."

Tiflltc Editor of the Bxprc**: rr- .' Sin: During the late campaign the Gazette made it point, every week, to parade long lists of names of soldiers to whom pensions had been granted by General Black, and on theie occasions it never failed to call the attention of its readers to the generous treatment the soldier was receivln& from Cleveland's administration. It never '. tired of asserting that the Democrats were grantlng pensions more rapidly than the BepubTtcans had ever done, and that all charges that the pres

Ident and Ills subordinates were unfriendly to the 1 soldier were the basest slanders, proved to be such by tlie fact that Black had run the pension list up to $80,000,000 anuually. and while bidding tor votes this was the dally burden of its song. But the soldier had sense enough to see through all this hypocrisy, and could not be induced to vote for his old enemies, let them promise all they would. Events since the election have proved tlie wisdom of their choice. No sooner was Corporal Tanner appointed to succeed "Physical Wreck" Black than the copperhead press, and the Gazette In partlcu lar, btyau to show the true measure of Its love for the soldier. Tanner Is "a fool, a fraud, an un couth Ignoramus," etc., whose reckless extravagance Is about to bankrupt the country, is now the burden ot Its dally song, and yesterday It published

IUI alleged dispatch from Washington giving the details of pretended pension frauds in which Tanner has already been en gaged. It tells Its readers that Tanner's extravagance has been so great that he has al ready actually exhausted the appropriation for the year, but It don't mention the fact the tlscal year Is also about exhausted, and that In two days the new year will begin.

The great mass of the soldiers of the country have always seen in Cleveland's sneers. Insults and vetoes, the true measure of copperhead sympathy for tliem. and they still vote as they shot When Cleveland was wasting time for which the people were paying him |20 per hour, In hunting evidence on which he could prevent some poor widow rrom getting a pension of $4 per month, he was engaged in business Just suited to his tastes and his capacity, and no activity on the part of (ieneral Black could prevent the people from saying that he. too. was at heart as vindictively bitter against those who saved the country as was Cleveland himself.

A few months ago the Gazette was vociferous in its praise of Black on the ground that he was granting pensions faster than any other commls sloner had ever done, but now Its Just as busy in lying about Corporal Tanner, because he can still (ind a few worthy and deserving soldiers that Black seems to have overlooked. But how the Gazette did love the solder and sympathize with him, wish well and hope he would get a pension—before the election, "Now the serpent was more subtile than any beast of the Held."

GIORDANO BRUNO.

It would have been strange if the unveiling of a statute in Rome of Giordano Bruno, the moat conspicuous and perhaps the ablest of the foee ot Romanian after the death of Lather, should have failed to provoke an outburst of the fiercest wrath among modern Romanists, says the London Telegraph. The partisans of the Vatican seem, indeed, almost to have taken leave of their senses in drawing up the furious diatribe which has been extensively distributed during the

ast few days in the Eternal City. this document the members of the Giordano Bruno monument committee are stigmatized as "bands of miscreants bearing the black livery of Satan, who with impious eagerness are applauding the erection of a statue which in the city of Rome must be a permanent insult to religion." This curious protest goes on to say: "The mind shudders at the horrible idea that if the hearts of the faithful are pierced with grief how much more profound and dolorous must be the anguish of the^common fattier of the faithful, the sovereign pontiff Leo XIII." It is gratifying to learn that t-hin ill-advised circular has not been put forth with any kind of authorization from the pope and, indeed, it would be libelous to assume that an ecclesiastic so eminently judicious and pacific as his holiness would lend the high sanction of his name to this crack-brained tirade against the memory of a wise and beneficent philosopher who fell a victim to the bigotry and brutality of the Roman inquisition 289 years ago. The publication of such a circular is, however, under any circumstances to be deprecated, inasmuch as it has conduced to raisingito a boiling point the_ already inflamed passions of the anti-clerical party in Rome. So deep, indeed, has been the indignation excited among professed anti-clericals at being denounced as bands of miscreants clad in Satan black livery, blinded by the demon, and so forth, Ithat serious anxiety has been felt by the Italian government and by the municipality of Rome leet the public ceremonial of yesterday should end with a popularjdemonstration against the Vatican and by attacks on the churches. In view of such an unhappy contingency a considerable number of additional troops were drafted into Rome, the garrison of the Castle of' St. Angelo was increased, and the questurs stationed large bodies of poiice at salient points throughout the city, while the arrival at the railway terminus of all strangers was narrowly watched by police agents in plain clothes.

The Roman authorities must be congratulated on the energy of their endeavors to preserve order and on the success which has attended them, as everything appears to have passed off quietly but it must not be forgotten that the Giordano Bruno festival of yesterday was organized with the full concurrence and sympathy of the Roman authorities, the** syndic and the municipality having joined the procession officially, while on the Campo del Plori, where the philosophic Dominican was burnt alive in 1600, tribunes were erected for the members of the Italian senate and parliament, who| attended nonofficially. Deputies from the cities of Italy and from various foreign societies and clubs swelled the gathering, which was witnessed by an amazing number of thousands of people of all degrees, among whom probably less than five per -flftit

tv"tatr"^Wfey

Ee was

martyred. He was certainly as a theological reformer practically unique, for, although he had plenty of influential friends, he had no di&ciples and founded no sect. Born at Nola, -near Naples, in 1550, something of the volcanic fires of Vesuvius seemB to have entered into his nature. He was eloquent, satirical, ar dent, earnest, and essentially unrestful and impatient, and as impetuous in his hostility to orthodox dogmas in .religion as to established systems of philosophy. Pursued by the spirit of discontent, he wandered about Europe interesting, irritating, and at last exasperating every constituted body with which he came in contaot. He was born at least one hundred and fifty years too soon. Had he only been a cotemporary of Wesley and Whitefield, he might have emigrated peacefully to America, and, unlike the founder of Methodism, who returned to Europe, Bruno might have remained on the other side of the Atlantic and become the head of a church em bodying those principles of Universalism which he so powerfully but so prematurely advocated, and his persistent proclamation of which brought him to the stake. Politically, modern Italy—or, indeed, modern liberalism in any country—has little to do with Giordano Bruno. He was neither a democrat nor a demogogue, and, in fact, in some respects there were strong points of contact between the unfrocked Dominican and rugged old Hobbes, of Malmeebury, who, although a leviathan among skep tics, was a strong Tory, and who, in dis cussing the matter, form and power of a commonwealth, ecclesiastical and civil, gave deliberately the preference to a monarchical form, insisting on uncon ditional submission to the monarch de facto, Charles II., whose mathematical tutor Hobbes had been, used laughingly to deolare that the philosopher's preference for absolute government arose from a sentiment of gratitude: "He used to bully," said the merry monarch, when I was a boy, and he thinks it only just that now I am king I should have the right to bully other people." Thus Bruno, although his opposition to popes, prelates, councils and synods was irreconcilable, had nothing to say against kings and other secular rulers. His incessant wanderings brought him in 15S5 to England, where he lectured at Oxford in favor of the Copernican system of astronomy and againBt the Ptolomean, and nealy drove the dons crazy by his denunciation of Aristotle. He enjoyed the friendship of Sir Philip Sidney, and there is a dim tradition that he had met Shakspeare, although if such were the fact the meeting could only have flSken place when the poet was a roung man of 'one or two and twenty, tn any case Shakspeare's splendid patroness Elizabeth was an accomplished Italian scholar, and to that gr«at quene Bruno was duly presented.

He seems to have found great favor at court, a favor which ultimately cost him dear, for among the articles exhibited against him by the Roman inquisition it was recited that he had held up to public admiration and applause, and compared to Diana and Semiramis, a certain heretical and sohismatio princess named Elizabeth Tudor, falsely calling herself queen of England, l'hie unlucky Giordano seems to have had throughout his life the most powerful of protectors, but he was unable to obtain any permanent advantages from such protection. In London he was the guest of the French embassador. In Paris the grand prior, Henri d'Angouleme, presented him to Henry III., and he was allowed to lecture at the university but ere long the usual explosion took place, the rectors and professors of the Sorbon-

ne were inxpnaibly scandalired by the heterodoxy of the monk who abused Aristotle and declined to go to mass, and he speedily drummed out, so to speak, by the thunders of a hundred pulpits and profeasorial chairs. What was to be done with-a akeptic who had the hardihood to write to the doctors of the Sorbonne: "Authority is not outside us. but within ns. A divine light shines in the depths of dur soul to inspire and to guide our thoughts. Let evidence be accepted as the sole judge of truth but if evidence be lacking let us be allowed to doubt. If age is one of the signs and measures of truth, our age should be better than that of Aristotle, since the world is twenty centuries older than he?" We have said that Giordano Bruno left no secretaries, but assuredly not a few of his detached thoughts would seem to have been sedulously marked, learned and inwardly digested by one Descartes and by a certain Francis of Verulam. For the rest Bruno appears to have possessed a single-minded independence of character which would have done honor to the Seven Sages of Greece. It availed him, however, but little with the pedants and bigots of his time. His theology was thought by the sour Calvinists of Geneva to be too liberal, and even at Wittenberg, where he distinguished himself by a magnificent oration in praise of Luther, his enemies gave out that he had pronounced a panegyric on the "Enemy of Mankind." His evil deetiny led him at last to revisit Italy. He was kidnaped at Venice by the agents of the inquisition, conveyed to Rome, and, after two years' cruel imprisonment, he was burnt in the Campo del Flori on the 17th of February, 1600. He has been called a hereeiarch, a pantheist, an atheist and other things. Those who have studied the prinoiplee which he expounded and his wonderful definition of a Being of Beings, infinite and eternal, invisible, but felt and breathed in the infinity of creation, will be induced to think that Giordand and Bruno was a sincere Unitarian, full of natural piety, and entitled rather to the admiration than to the opprobrium of humanity. He lived too soon that was his chief and fatal error!

Tbe faDowinir ia from the local eolumns of the Indianapolis News of last evening:

Alexander Johnson, ueciaiary of the board of state charities, retumed from Brazil last night

He has spent the time sinoe the meeting of the board among the miaen and operators, and haa had eposes to amne sooroos of information which hwt dm given to no one else. He oonaiders that the miners have some very Hriomnkrancee, bnt says that at any rate win a majority of the operators there la an intention of fair dealing, and that lie haa received from the "president of the Brazil company the moat unqualified assurance that real wrongs ah all tie redressed if brought to his attention.

Mr. Johnson has attended three meetings of the miners in the laat few days, and has also had several canferancee with the principal operators, and haa been shown their books. He is of the opinion that purely as a business natter, the operators under present conditions and systems cannot pay more than the

Sividends.

rice they offer with any prospect ot He is still more confident that the operators mean to stick. Whatever they might do, it's certain they will not pay any more. He got trustworthy information as to large contracts, pending the action of the miners, which must be closed in a week or two or lost to the district, and if loet there will be little more work this year than laat.

The concessions he secured have been already mentioned. They are very trivial, but notwithstanding that, he advissd the miners to acoept them and return to work at once. Seme of the men consider his advice sound, and most of them thought he was

Bincere

in what he said.

The matter will be presented to the men by their delegates in the district meetings to-day. There is little doubt that on a secret ballot there would be a good many votes

for

going to work.

Mr. Johnson is very much impressed with the quality of the men. They are a fine set of fellows, and average eqaul to moat mechanics and laborers anywhere. They are slow of speech and not quite so quick of thought as the man w&ose day's work is among the active motions of the world. But their slowness doee not mean stupidity. The charges ot drunkenness and extravaganoe apply to the minority, and are much exaggerated as to them. "Contributions are Blacking off," said the secretary. "Some committees sent out to collect have scarcely realized their expenses. The division of the minen as to their labor organizations is a great source of weakness. They are in no shape for a protracted strike, and their best friends hope they will let discretion be the better part of valor."

The following is from a Brazil special to the News: The operators have agreed to submit their books, as requested by the miners, to a committee of operators and miners and the Rev. O. C. McCullooh, to prove their statement that they did-not reflize 6 per cent, on their capital stock for the year ending April 30, 1889, provided the miners will agree to go to work if they can make it so appear. It is still uncertain what the miners will do, now that their request has been oomplied with and that concessions have'been made. While they were in session a dispatch was received from Mr. McCulloch as fol-

ufve

he will do the beet for you. I should ad vise you to accept such concessions as he has secured for yon."

A motion to refer the matter to a popular vote of the miners waa defeated by a vote of 6 to 5 on Tuesday, bnt the ques tion is again brought up by the opera tors agreeing to open their book, and the question of acceptance of the reduction, with the concessionsrmay be referred to the miners at the various mines or districts. There can be no question as to the result of a popular vote. In every strike there is some sort of tyranny of the few over the many. When the vote to strike was taken in May, fifteen mines were represented, and over one-half of these, in number of votes were bituminous miners whoee interests are in conflict with the bloch miners. The bituminous miners went to work in a day or two on a yearly scale, after having voted a strike on the block miners. A popular vote would end the strike.

A pressure is brought to bear upon the miners, who are, if organized at all, un der the miners' assembly, Knights of Labor, and not the National Progressive union, from miners in Ohio, Pennsyl vania and Illinois, to maintain the strike to prevent possible reductions in those competing states. The aid received from these states, however, doee not equal the interest manifested, and the miners are evidently weakening on this point. The strike has been conducted orderly throughout. The end, though it' may not be in sight, is not far off, and it is believed that when it is attained it will not be by the rupture of cordial relations that have characterized the relations of miners and operators here for years past.

Local Option With a Vengeance, CHICAGO, June 29.—A dispatch from

Joliet, 111., says: At the preeent meeting of the city council the saloon license question again came up, and the ordinance was passed fixing the license fee at $1,Q00, the rate which has been in force here for some time past. The vote for $1,000 stood yeas, 11 nays, 3. Billiard-rooms were abolished in this city three years ago. An attempt was made to pass an ordinance allowing billiard and pool tablea in saloons, the license to be fixed at $25 per table. The ordinance passed the council all right, but the license fee was changed from $25 per table to $5,000 per table to the disgust of the lovers of billards.

July will open in the doee ot June's laat reactionary storms, fresh and cooler. About the 3rd the temperature will rise •ml continue until ""n"g the warmeet days of the summer are reached, from about the 4th to the 8th. The regular period is from the 3rd to the 9th, and ought to culminate about the danger days in heavy rains, wind and thunder. The equinox of mercury ia on the 8th, and will tend to produce prolonged oloudiness and rain. Watch your harveeting. The 11th and_ 12th are minor storm days fully within the grasp of Mercury's equinox.

The next regular period is from the fifteenth to the nineteenth, and with the combined teneion of Jupiter and Man, will bring ita quota of summer storms. See danger days in calendar. Watch about the twenty-fourth and twentyfifth for warm weather and reactionary storms.

The leet period ot the atorm ia from the 26th to August. The equinox of Venus is on the 14th of August, and ita mighty electric power will be plainly discernable in the closing storms of July. Another of the hotteet spells of the summer will fall within the last July period, and the high temperature will yield not until it has developed some very hard etorms of rain and wind, with thunder and hmL
