THE LOST CAUSE.

“Truth on the Scaffold, Wrong on the Throne,” During the exercises incident to the unveiling of the monument to dead Confederate soldiers at Richmond, Va., May 30 the orator of the day, the Rev. R. C. Cave, made an address which was much applauded. and which has caused much comment,. Among other things he said: "I am not one of those who, clinging tc the old superstition that the will of heaven is revealed in the immediate results of the "trial by Combat,” fancy that right must always be on the side of might, and speak of Appomattox as a judgment of God. I do not forget that a Suwaroff triumphed and a Kosciusko fell; that a Nero wielded the scepter of empire and a Paul was beheaded; that a Herod was crowned and a Christ crucified; and. instead of accepting the defeat of the South as a divine verdict against her, I regard it as but another instance of "truth on the scaffold and wrong on the throne.” [Tremendous applause. 1 Gen. Thomas L. Rosser, 'a prominent Confederate brigadier-general, of cavalry and a Populace candidate for Congress in the Seventh district last fall, also made a speech, which has created a sensation among the ex-Confederates.

This country can’t stand when it makes one citizen support another. I shall never vote for a Congressman who is in favor ol Government pensions. I would say tc Massachusetts, you pay your pensioners as V irginia pavs hers. General Rosser then went on to say that the Grand Army was banded together to get pensions, and if he had been at Birmingham he would have voted against the proposition to invite them to Atlanta. He didn’t want them to come to Richmond!

Hundreds of people, men, women and children, congregated in the city hall and the armory to wait until the waters go down so that they can go to their, homes, which will be untenable for some days. Tho disastrous flood was caused by the rains in the Arkansas valley above Pueblo. Three lives are known to have been lost, and it is possible that others have perished. The weather bureau reports the rain fall in Denver as an inch, at Pueblo three inches, and it is still raining. The Platte river Is still rising.

THE STRIKING MINERS.

The Clay county striking miners are using vigorous measures to enforce their demands. They aro well organized and disposed to make trouble at various points. Every train loaded with coal passing through or from the county has been stopped. The coal from several trains has been unloaded and pulverized. Saturday strikers stopped a north-bound freight train on the Chicago & Indiana coal railway and wanted to be hauled free to Stone Bluff, where some miners were said to be at work. The trainmen refused to haul them, and the train was held from 8 a. m. to 5 p. m., when it was brought back to Brazil. Monday morning as the north-bound local fre'ght on the C. & I. C. pulled into Mecca it was boarded by five hundred striking miners who held the train captive on Saturday and who demanded to be hauled to Stone Bluff. The conductor telegraphed to the trainmaster that his train was under the miners’ control and he was ordered to sidetrack it. W. H. Lyford, solicitor of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois railway, appeared before Judge Baker, at Indianapolis, Monday, and secured a temporary order tc prevent any further interference with trains until June 7, when the motion for a permanent injunction will be argued.

Little ducks require almost twice as much food as chicks, but they grow very rapidly. They should be fed four times a day and given al) thev will oat. One of the laziest men in the country Is John Curtis, who is serving a three years’ sentence in the state prison at Salem, Oregon. Curtis worked in the foundry, and about three months ago took off his boots, on the plea that they hurt him. and then burned his foot so severely that he was laid up. When the burn was healing he put vinegar on it and aggravated it to prevent Its getting well. The prison physician threatened him, and managed to cure the wound. Curtis was set at work again. He worked four days, and then with a It itcbet cut off his left hand. It took two blows. One cut through the fleshy, part of the hand, the other clean through the wrist i.o'.nt. He confessed that he did it to avoid work. . .

THE COAL MINERS’STRIKE.

Peaceful Solation of the Difficult!**—Hostilities Averted. After prolonged consultation, Saturday, with the Adjutant General and Major Defrees, and after the receipt of numerous telegrams stating that the peace officers were unable to restrain the mobs of riotous miners, Gavernor Matthews ordered the Adjutant General to call out nine companies of the State militia to proceed to the scenes of disturbance. The aggregate number of soldiers was about 450. The Indianapolis companies left over the Pennsylvania road at 2:30 p. m., Saturday. The troops from the southern part of the State joined the Indianapolis militia at Seymour. The reports from the eoal mining districts of the State, received at Indianapolis up to a late hour Monday morning, indicate that the militia sent to the scene by the Governor on Saturday was eminently successful in heading off any riotous demonstrations that might have been intended- At Cannelburg the militia found but a handful of miners, and they were quiet. Three of the ringleaders were arrested by Sheriff Leming, assisted by the troops. A cohferenco between Adjt.Gen. Robbins and the strkers’ committee resulted in the assurance that the miners do not propose to violate the laws. Without any interference on the part of the miners the railroad company repaired its track and got the coal trains under way. At Shelburn, whither another detachment of troops had gone, the situation was about the same. There was a large crowd and considerable excitement, but the coal cars were moved without any conflict resulting. The laws of the State of Indiana have been upheld without bloodshed; the miners have recognized the superior strength of the State and have receded gracefully.

SIX HUNDRED KILLED

In a Battle Between Ezeta and the Salvadoran Rebels. The Panama Star and Herald has received the following dispatch from San Salvador: “In the battle of Santa Ana, on May 14, the government troops under Gen. Antonio Ezeta were defeated. Six hundred soldiers were killed. Gen. Bolanos was wounded, President Ezata has resigned in favor of Calos Bonilla* A counter revolution is sure to break out, as Bonilla is not generally acceptable. Possibly Gen. Manuel Rivas may become President.

A NEW BOND ISSUE PROBABLE.

The rapid reduction of the gold reserve in the Treasury will soon compel a bond issue. The reserve is now down to about $75,030,003, which is nearly as low as it can safely be permitted to fall. Secretary Carlisle, in urging upon the leaders in Congress to have Congress authorize an issue of 3 per cent, bonds, has indicated, that the department would be compelled to issue bonds without new authoritywhenever the gold reserve should fall below 170,000,000. It cannot be long before this danger line is crossed, and it is believed there will be a bond issue under the authority of the old law about the beginning of the fiscal year.
