We print elsewhere an interview with two representatives of the Clay county coal miners, who are in the city endeavoring to obtain Botne assistance for them. Seventeen hundred of these men are now in idlenew, because of their refusal to eubtuit to a reduction in waes. Under the old scale they received from 1K3 cents to 1.10 per ton, and even at these waces, not being able to work full time, their earnings for the last year or two have been scarcely sufficient to maintain life. The operators now refuse to pay more than 70 cents per ton, which means that the miners and their families shall go to bfd hungry every night. The miners have offered to submit the matter to arbitration, but the operators refuse to agree to thi.-. Under the circumstances there is nothing for the miners but idleness, which is likely to be prolonged for months. The owners of the Clay county coal mines have made independent fortunes out of them. Nearly all of them live ia luxury and splendor in Chicago. The officers of their companies are paid magnificent salaries at least, they have been, and if there has been any recent reduction in the.-e salaries the public Las not been advised of the fact. Now that the coal trade is dull, and the handsome profits of former years can no longer be realized (a the rate of wages heretofore current), thee favored children of fortune insist that the miners shall shoulder the whole burden, or as much ot it as they can carry and exist. Fublic opinion ought to come heartily to the support of these Clay county miners in their unequal struggle with greedy capital. We have said, and say ngain, that these men should cot b? asked to accept a reduction ot a single penny in their already meager wages, until the salaries of the mining ofncialt? have been largely reduced and the dividend margin wiped out. In prosperous years the operators make money freely ; they can afford to do business in dull season?, if not at an actual loss, certainly without protit, if it is necessary, in order to keep their employes and their families from want. This may not be in the spirit of political economy, with its laws of supp'y and demand, its "wages fnnd" and its "every man for himself, and the devil take the hindmost"' maxims. But it is in accord with the teachings of something bet.T and higher and nobler than political economy the religion of Jems Christ. And the time w ill come it is coming fast when the man who demands that his brother shall toil for a beggar's pittance in order that himself may wax great with this world's roods will be held infamous by tlu world. But just now starvation stares these miners their wives and little ones in the face. Their circumstances make a loud rail upon the humanity, the charity, the sense of justice of the well-to-do people of this city and Ptate. The appeals in their behalf ouut to meet with a generous response. The Ssntinfl will undertake to forward promptly to the miners any contributions whiih may bo sent to this office for them, and all such contributions will be acknowledged in these columns. Or thos who prefer, may make their remittances direct to .T. A. Cnot'.-F, secretary of the miner."' organiation. Hoosierville, Clay county, Indiana. r. o. box ). A Tariff" Object Lesson. The Jnirunl, in Sunday's issue, in trying to make a point in favor of prohibitory duties, in a short paragraph relative to the Hendricks monument, in the same sentence both condemns and praises the present tariff law. It would be difficult to nd a greater conglomeration of misrepresentation and deception than that which it contained under tbo caption of "A Problem for Free Traders." In speaking of the Hendricks monument it said : Hie statue and pedestal are being constructed in Italy, and are almost completed. Jf it was Hone in this country the cot would be over $5 Under the customs law of the United Htates the work of American artisans abroad is admitted free of duty, and the work on the irranii-e portion of the monument is beinc done in Italy, by Italian workmen, for !0 rents per day, in comparison with or 5 paid iu the United Suites. "Thi action of the democrat fnrmshes a good turifl" lesson," said a gentleman yesterday. "It shows what protection has done for American workinpmen. It seems a little strange, tboush, that these free-traders should have the work done in Italy, when they have been claimiog all along that American workinsrmen received lower waxes under protection than those of other countries under free trade." Protectionists, free-traders, tariff reformers and workingmtn, examine this statement, if but a moment. Under our ystem of protection, the Journal says, work on the. Hendricks monument is being done in Italv for about one-fourth what it would cost in the United States. In Bub-stance, it says that the Italian workmen are performing labor in Italy forSl ,- fir) which would cost $0,(XK) here. If this is true, what protection is afforded to American workmen under tho present law ? The laboring men of all classes and vocations have been told how they were protected against the cheap labor of Kurope, and yet the Journal now points to tbe Hendricks monument aa an instance where no protection whatever is afforded. Did not the republican party enact the present laws? Have they not resisted every proposed change ? If the JfwrnnVs tatements are true, why did the republican party perpetrate thi3 outrage npon American workmen, and why have they refused to remedy it? The Jwirnal, however, undertakes to excuse thi3 discrimination. "Under the customs laws," it says, "of the United States the works of American artisans abroad are admitted free of duty and the work on the granite portion of the monument is being done in Italy by Italian workmen for 10 cent per day in comparison with $3.50 to $5 paid in the United States." The Jourval would have it readers believe that the granite work done by Italian workmen comci in fre of duty. This is false.

Nothing about the monument can be admitted free of duty but the statue, and that, to be so admitted must be produced by an American artist. Tho pedestal ia no part of the statue it is not a work of art any more than the concrete foundation npon which the wholo structure may rest. Even if it were a work of art, being the production of Italian artists, it could not be admitted free. The Journal was compelled to resort to this deception to adorn its tale. What are the facts and why is it that American labor has been deprived of performing this work upon the Hendricks monument? The great disparity in the rate of .wages paid in Italy and the United States Las been shown to be partially, if not w holly, equalized by the greater efficiency and energy of our own workmen. The tariff, it is insisted, is for the benefit of labor, and if there is any difference in the cost of production it is certainly equalized by the rates of duty fixed. What then has enabled Italian to outstrip American labor and to finish this product for bo much less? It is the discrimination of our present law in favor of American monopolies and against the workingmea of our country that has brought this about. Secy. Proctor was recently appointed to a position in the president's cabinet. It was said that this was a splendid appointment; that he was a successful business man ; that a few years ago he was poor and that now he was worth his millions all made in fifteen years without great mental exertion or overwork. What business was he engaged in that he had crown so fat ? The answer was that he owned and operated a marble quarry. Had any of his employes grown rich? No, not one of thera had saved a cent. Here is the fraud: Under the present law there is a duty of bo cents per cubic foot on rough marble. This is for the protection of the owners of tho marble quarries oi this country and enables them to realize exorbitant profits upon their granite, which, liko all other protected monopolists, they fail to divide with their employes. If the rough marble, which is nothing more than a raw material, had been admitted free of duty, instead of being taxed 03 cents per cubic foot, American workmen would have performed every stroke of labor on the pedestal of the Hendricks monument, and would have received American wages for the same. But this the owners of the granite hills of Vermont will not permit. Therefore, where Italian marble is used, it is cheapest to import it in the manufactured state. Workingmen of Indianapolis, here is a practical illustration of the so-called protection to American labor. The material upon which you could have performed thousands of dollars worth of labor is kept out of the country by an outrageous duty for the benefit of the owners of mountains oi granite in this country. And, by the way, those" "Italians who get only !X) cents per day for working on tho Hendricks monument are "protected" by a hicrh tariff. Italy, like the United States, has a very high protective tariff. If protection means high wages, how does it happen that these Italians can get only fH) cents a day? Perhaps the Journal will explain. rut probably it will not try. Hill anil Kleetion KeTorin. ('or. Hill's veto of tho S'axton election bill is denounced by the leading democratic papers of the country, almost without exception. That able democratic journal, the Pittsburg I'v!, pronounces it "a democratic misfortune," says it is ''incoiuprehensible," and expresses the fear that it was dictated by "the baser elements and factions of New York politics who bartered away the presidency la.t vear for fctate and municipal patronage." The iW add? : (iov. Hin, we take it, in reality opposed the reform in New York for much the raine reasons tJCAY kicked it out ot the lenn Ivania legislature, Blaine defeated it in Maine, and Fokakkr and Jonx Shei:max in Ohio. It would have abridge 1 the power of the bosses and machines of politics; it would have made bribery impract'cnhle ; it would have put an end to the intimidation of employes and managinj pol'ti-'ian; it would interfere with the siierei of stirh Lar'ins and deals as mad it poilie in New York last year to defeat a democratic president and elect a democratic governor. The Bo-don Po.-f. the foremost democratic paper in New Kngland, reviews the veto message at length and condemns it m severe terms. It concludes a strong article in this language: The only thin with which this announcement of the democratic governor of New York can properly be paralleled is the declaration of the managers of the republican machine in Maine when they defeated the reformed ballot bill at the l.i-t ession on the plea that a secret ballot would encouraze corruption by preventing the watching of voters at the polls. It is true, indeed, as (iov. Hill remarks incidentally iu his roessace, that the system which he disapproves has not had the tet of actual use in this country. It may need modification to meet conditions which do not appear at the start; but it i safe to say that any changes that may be found nece-sary in practice will not be on the line of machine politics indicated by Gov. 11 ILL. The New York lleWd, the leading democratic newspaper of the United States, says that Gov. HrLL "has failed again to place himself in line with the best sentiment of his own party, and has alienated some friends whose good opinions might be thought to be worth as much as the servile offerings of the machine bosses. And so fiov. Hill has missed his one great and crowning opportunity." The Chicago JLrahl, the Chicago Gloh-f the St. JOuis 7tVW and other exponents of democratic opinion handle Gov. Hill as he deserves to be bandied without gloves. It will be seen that The Sentinel's opinion of Gov. Hill's performance is shared by the other great democratic newspapers, east and west. The Hovcy Disgrace. It is not easy to characterize in Utting language the course which Gov. Hovey is

pursuing in regard to the benevolent institutions. To say that it is dishonorable and disreputable and contemptible and altogether unworthy of the executive of a great state, is to put it very mildly. Gov. Hovey started out to nullify the action of the legislature, in electing men to manago the institutions. He professed to believe that the legislature had no right to make such elections, although it had been doing so ever since Indiana became a state. A test case was made and carried to the supreme court. Gov. Hovev agreed that he would accept the decision of the court as final as to all the institutions. The court decided against him. II then repudiated his agreement and refused to issuo commissions to the trustees of any of the institutions except the Indianapolis asylum. Another suit was brought which raised all

the questions involved touching the-officiate of any of the institutions. The supreme court again ruled against Gov. Hovey on every point. Now he refuses to abide by its decision. He says the court is wrong, and that he will petition for a rehearing. This means a delay of eixty days. The governor began his official career by making war on the legislative department of the state4 government. He is now at war with the judicial department. From the moment of his inauguration he has been making war against all the best interests of the state against its credit, its reputation, it3 peace and good order and prosperity. He richly deserves imjeachinent. No man ever nat in the executive chair of Indiana who trifled with the patience of the people aa this man has done. He is a humbug. Worse than that, he is a fraud. There ought to be some way to bring him to a realizing sense of the fact that he is not bigger than the whole state of Indiana beside. He has done incalculable mischief alread, and if he keeps on in his mad career to the end of his official term, every Indianian will have reason to curse the accident that rescued him from obscurity, and gavo gubernatorial wings to his Napoleonic soul. Piiksipext IlAnuisiOs's remisrüon of the fine and costs in the Coy case are explained by his organ r.s "simply an act of kindness brought about by the understanding that Coy had been robbed of his property during his imprisonment by Sclliva.v, his partner in crime." AVe rather suspect President Harrison was shamed into this act "of grace" by the spectacle presented in Judge Woods' court, where scores of election knaves have been set free by a reversal of the very ruling under which Coy was convicted and sent to tho penitentiary. The offense with which Coy was charged did not affect, was not designed to affect, and could not possibly have affected the election of a representative in congress. Yet Coy was convicted under the same section of the revised statutes

which Judge Woods held to bo inapplicable to Carpenter, the wholesale votebuyer of Shelby county, because it was not shown that his corrupt expenditures influenced the election of a congressman. Benjamin II aurison, reflecting upon this outrageous jugglery with justice, doubtless felt that the least ho could do was to remit the tine and costs in Coy's case and permit him to go hence at the expiration of the time for which he was sentenced. And it is curious to see that the very newspaper which for more than a year denounced President Cleveland bitterly beeause it pretended to believe that he contemplated extending clemency to Coy, applauds Hakhison for his action! BiciiARD F. Neoley, a leading republican of Montana, has written a letter to the president, in which he says: It was the impertinent intermeddling of your son in Montana politics that assured the democrats control of our constitutional convention. It was his bartering of federal offices in Montana, some of them for private gain, and others for private pujue, that will permit the democrats to send a member of the house of representatives and two senators to Washington next I'eeeinber. It" you had considered the appointment of federal officers in Montana as a grave public trust devolved upon you by the constitution, instead of conferring it upon your son as a private perquisite, to be disposed of as he saw fit, democratic prospects in Montana would not now be co clowins;. Prince Kessele seems to be about as heavy a load for the administration to carry as Dedley himself. His performances as an office-broker have been especiallv scandalous, but, as the St. Louis E'pf'blic well says, "he is merely a part of the general disregard for the decencies and proprieties which characterizes this administration." However, if he has been in any way instrumental in putting Montana into the democratic ranks, we can afford to view his offenses charitably. At New Bed ford, Conn. .where Presiden Cleveland kept a republican postmaster in office three years or until two months after his commission had expired tho democratic incumbent, an upright and efficient man, has just been displaced, after but one year s service. Mr. L. B Holmes, a member of the republican city committee of New Bedford, in an open letter to T. M. Gen. Wanamakee, says of this performance: As a republican who has witnessed this whole transaction, I ought to and do feel humiliated. It is a revelation as to the conduct of the administration of my own party. Its platform and the letter of acceptance of President Hareison distinctly promised that should not be done which I have seen done here with my own eyes. Nor is that even fairly statins it. Not only has an honest and efficient public officer been dismissed from the service on a charge of incompetency, but turned out of office under a cloud and denied even an opportunity of proving the utter falsity of such charge. The New Dedford oflice, though an important one, is only one of many. It id impossible that what has been done here would alone have much effect upon the welfare of the party at large, but if the administration is pursuing all over this country the course it has pursued in this locality, the republican party will be defeated in the next election, and deservedly. The prospect is that memorial day will be even more generally observed this year than heretofore. The grand army posts, the democratic veterans, and other organizations of old soldiers are making elaborate preparations for the occasion. The beautiful and patriotic custom of decorating the graves of the heroes who fell in the great struggle for the Union was inaugurated soon fc'ter the close of the war. The ceremony has apathetic and touching significance, and when it is unmarred by manifestations of sectional bitterness or partisan bigotry, is at once impressive and inspiring. We trust that this year the demagogues and the fire-brands will not profane the hallowed spots,where so many of the nation's bravest and noblest sons are sleeping, with unseemly word or act. Let flowers be heaped upon the graves of the soldier dead, North and South, and let no voice save that of patriotism and brotherly love be heard as this beautiful tribute is paid to valor and heroism. Brother Talmage declares that not one in ten of the "worldlings" looks happy. "Take your stand," he says, "at 2 o'clock at the corner of Nassau and Wall-sts., or at the corner of Canal-st and Broadway, and see the agonized physiognomies." But how does Brother Talmage distinguish the "worldlings" from the other folks in the mighty throngs? Yery few, even of the most godl-, wear such a seraphic smile as illuminates the Talmage features whenever the public is permitted to gaze upon them. We think it is an error to set down as a "worldling" every man who does not look happy, Sin may make many of them

look "'ugubrious," but indigestion gets in its work alike on the just and unjust. Things are not always what they seem. There are six presbyterian churches in the North without anv members, seven with ono each, eleven with two each, thirty with, three each, twenty-seven with four each, and twenty-seven with five each a total of 10f churches having an aggregate membership of but 365. There are 2iVi churches with memberships ranging from six to ten the average being eight. Three churches in New York City and Brooklyn have more members than these 2t5 combined. These figures were submitted in a report to the presbyterian general assembly the other day, and are exceedingly suggestive. The result of the special election in the Nineteenth Illinois district for a congressman to succeed the late Mr. Towsshesd is a sweeping democratic victory. The tariff was the only issue in the campaign, Judge Williams, the democratic candidate, taking radical reform ground. The republicans were closely organized, had plenty of money, ana made a hard fight. But Judge Williams was elected by an increased majority. Wherever the tariff issue is pressed, the democrats are certain to be the gainers. The Cook county (Chicago) insane asylum, in which such a hideous condition of affairs has just been brought to light by the Chicago 77m., has been under republican management for many years. The scandal is strictly a republican scandal, and we marvel greatly that the Journal should invite attention to it. It is proposed to hold a public meeting to express popular sympathy with the Clay county miners. It ought to be done. And the sympathy extended by the meeting should take a substantial form.

The Fort Wayne Journal says: "TnE Indianapolis Sentinel is a state organ such as the democrats never had before." The democrats oi Indiana are very proud of The Sentinel. Ghoveu Cleivi land made a magnificent speech last night at the banquet tcudered him by the young men's democratic club of New York. We print it in full elsewhere. ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. B. F.

"Of course. Why not?" was the prompt rejoinder. "You know the secretary of agriculture is the tail-end of the cabinet, and the tail is almost altogether ornamental. lis principal use is to keep the flics off the other members of the cabinet." Diiuleep Singh is to be married. The following bans of marriage have been observed upon the bulletin board of the Paris Mairie: "Dhuleep Singh, profession, maharajah: son of Runjeet Singh, deceased, and widower of Bamba Muller, living at 21 nie Marbeuf, Paris, and Ada Douglas Wetherill, living at 24 rue Marbeuf; no profession, daughter of Charles Douglas Wetherill, deceased, and Sarah Charlotte, his wife, of Greemmorn (sic), England."

They had gone through tho train, and succeeded in robbing several passengers, when they suddenly encountered Henry Stockfeldt of this city, who appeared to be asleep, but when the thief began nis operations Stockfeldt arose and struck him a fearfr.l blow with his fist, felling him to the floor. The other fakirs came to the rescue, whereupon Frank Pritchett and two others sailed in. The door oi the car was locked.
