come a menace to
the lives of her keepers and the pub
lic. With the true showman's in
stinct, they planned to make the
execution a spectacle. Death was to
be attempted simultaneously by
poison, by shooting, and if these
methods were not effective, by drown
ing and strangulation. The affair,
duly advertised, was to take place on
an island in an artificial lake the
shores of which would make an
amphitheater for the crowd who
were willing to pay the price of ad
mission. The spectacle had already
been advertised when the "society
with the long name" stepped in.
There the matter ended. "Topsy"
was killed, but not in the presence
of any crowd who paid to see the
sight. More recently still an asso
ciation in Connecticut announced a
public mouse-killing contest as one
of the attractions of an approaching
cat show. A thousand live mice were
to be released in a ring about which
the patrons of the show would
gather, and prizes were to be award
ed to the cats which made the quick
est. and most numerous "kills." Here
again the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals interfered.
Its action w<is vigorously opposed,
but public opinion sustained it and
it won. Without that intervention
•there would have been no added
cruelty. It was necessary that
"Topsy" die, and in the economy of
domestic life it is often necessary
that mice shall die; but it is not
necessary, as the Youth's Companion
points out, that the death of either be
made a public entertainment. Death,
wen that of an animal, is at best a pa
etic mystery. The finer feelings re-
It against making an exhibition of it,

ntion of Cruelty to Animals per

ttion.

before the young man who had asked
Mich a question, and said, frankly, "I
don't know." Seeing a quizzical look
on the face of the young man, he said:
"Look here, you are surprised at my
saying, '1 don't know.' The truth is,
1 do not know—but I might have at
tempted an answer, and so given you
■the impression that. I dud know." Then,
looking into the young man's face, he
said, earnestly: "William, never be

don't. It will save you much trouble.
You think 1 know a lot; but there are
a great many things of which 1 am ig

Notwithstanding all the talk of the
democratic party repudiating Bryan
ism, it is very evident that the taint
still clings to it. especially that part of
the Bryan doctrine which favors the
free and unlimited coinage of silver at
the 16 to 1 ratio. This is amply dem
onstrated in the United States senate,
says the Troy Times, where democratic
members rally to the silver standard
at- every opportunity. The particular
object of their hostility just now is the
bill which is intended to place the cur
rency of the Philippines on a gold basis
and give commercial and industrial
stability to the islands. The prospects
have seemed good for the passage of
the. bill, but recently the democratic
senators have manifested a disposition
to talk it to defeat. Senator Teller, of
Colorado, is especially active in opposi
tion, on the. ground that it means a
death blow to silver, to which he and
some of his western associates are ap
parently) wedded by indissoluble bonds.
It appears to make no difference to
those men what financial disaster and
commercial inconvenience threaten
those in whose interests this legisla
tion is desired and who are suffering
because of the incongruities, perplexi
ties and manifold evils arising from the
preent chaotic condition of the Philip
pine currency. Nor are they moved by
the fact that the whole.civilized world
is recognizing the folly and uselessncss
of trying to impart a factitious and un
warranted monetary value to silver.
With such countries as Mexico and
China, both of which have for centuries
shown special preference for silver as

currency, seeking an adjustment which
■will give gold its proper place as a
standard of value and lix the relation
of silver to gold at a reasonable rat io,•
and with silver at such a low valuation
in the markets of the world, it would
seem that the most ardent friend of
the white metal would perceive the in
evitable and act accordingly. Hut l!ry
aii'ism is hard to eradicate from certain
minds, and-its latest outcropping shows
what a strong bold it still has upon a
large and influential element of the
democratic party, notwithstanding the
unchallengeable verdict given against
it by the American people in the two
most recent and very strenuous presi
dential campaigns.
The argument put forth by these
obstructive democratic senators and
which has been heard with nauseating
iteration aid reiteration of late years
—that tf> deny free coinage to silver at
the 10 to 1 ratio is a gross discrimina
tion against the white metal has no
foundation in fact. The American peo
ple have m ver discriminated against
silver. It is one of tin- great and valu
able products—though very far from
being the most valuable—of the conn
try. and tin- popular judgment has
been on the side of fair treatment. In
reality the discrimination has been
rather for it than against it, as the
enormous number of silver dollars now
in existence demonstrate. Much oft hi'
national legislation relating to silver
has gone to the utmost limit of safety
in "recognizing" that metal, lint con
gress and the people could not be in
duced to favor anything so disust rous
as would have been the opening of the
mints for the unrestricted coinage of
"dolhn " that where worth less than

It looks as though the cheap dollar
men were making their last stand on

The passage by the house of the El
kins bill to prevent and punish discrim
ination among railway shippers prac
tically completes the administration
programme for present, legislation- re
garding the control of tlie trusts, says
the Chicago Inter Ocean.
The Klkins bill changes the present
law chiefly in punishing the corpora
tion for whose benefit secret rebates
are granted rather than the personal
agent of the corporation. Instead of
threatening with fine orimprisonment
the man whose livelihood may depend
upon his "getting business," no matter
how, it seeks to line the corporation
for whose benefit business is illegiti
mately obtained. The practical sense
of this change needs no argument.
The other leading feature of the ad
ministration programme was that the
operations of interstate corporations
should be given wholesome publicity.
That has been sought and probably se
cured by the Nelson amendment tothe
bill establishing the new department of
commerce and labor. Incidental fea
tures were the bills to expedite prose
cutions of offending corporations and
gi\ing the departnient of justice funds
needed to obtain evidence.
The opposition in congress to these
measures finally settled down to the
assertion that they "would not« hurt
the trusts." It is to be noted, however,
that such criticism was voiced only by
those congressmen who have swal
lowed Mr. Ilryan's penitentiary pre
scription and who cannot understand
that a remedy is to cure—not to exter
minate.
The American people, however, have
110 desire to exterminate any corpora
tion engaged in any legitimate indus
try. They recognize the necessity of
the corporations. They desire only
that these industrial organizations
shall not do evil and shall not be per
mitted tfi employ their powers oppres
sively. And in promoting legislation
limited to that purpose the administra
tion has obeyed the will of the people.
That theenactraents'of this congress
will solve the whole trust problem is
not to be expected. That problem is
:oo complex. Hut these measures are
i beginning of a solution. They are
-■tops in the right direction, and as
long steps as it was safe to take at the
■iresent time.
In enacting them the republican ma
jority in congress has redeemed the
pledges made by Theodore Roosevelt
■o the people in the campaign of 1902.
The republican party, led by Theodore
Koosevelt, has overcome opposition
within and without its ranks, and has

An Attempt to Arrest Striking

Charleston, W. Va., Feb. 2f>.—-At
Stanniford City, Raleigh county, a
terrible battle took place at dawn
yesterday between the joint posses of
Deputy United States Marelial Cun
ningham and Sheriff Cook, on one
eide, and rioting miners on the other,
as a result of which three miners
were killed, two others mortally
wounded and a number of others >n
both sides more or less serious] 7
hurt.
The trouble grew out of the at
tempt to arrest 34 miners for viola
tion of the blanket injunction issued
by Federal .fudge Keller last August.
Deputy Marshal Cunningham went
last Saturday to Atkinsville, a min
ing town in Raleigh county, to arrest
men charged with violating the in
junction. He was surrounded by a
large party of miners armed with
Winchester rifles, who ordered him
to leave the place, an order which he
quickly obeyed. Sheriff Cook at this
time attempted to make some arrests
under process issued by the state
court, and was treated in a like man
ner.
Cunningham returned to this city
and reported to the marshal and dis
trict attorney that he could do noth
ing without a large force and then
only at imminent risk of precipitat
ing a bloody conflict, lie was in
structed to return with men suffi
cient to serve the process priven him,
and to do it at all hazard. Before
Cunningham returned to Atkinsville,
•however. Marshal John K. Thompson
and S. C. Burdette, attorney for the
United Mine Workers, went, to the
district, speaking most of Sunday and
Monday there. They found every
thing quiet, the rioters having- with
drawn from the immediate neighbor
hood and crossed New river, going in
to camp 300 strong on the north side.
Thompson and Ilurdet'te came home
Tuesday morning and Cunningham
and a strong posse went from here
to make the arrests. When Atkins
ville was reached, the federal forces
were joined by Sheriff Cook and his
posse, the coal companies nearby fur
nishing some guards, and the deputy
and sheriff found themselves in com
mand of about a hundred well armed
and determined men. The rioters had
recrossed the river on Tuesday and
were parading up and down before
the various coal works, from l.'O to
200 men armed with Winchester rifles.
They intimidated miners at work,
drove away the guards of the mines
and even went so far as to disarm
one guard and force him to march at
•the head of their procession. Em
boldened by their success, they at
tempted to burn down a bridge of the
Chesapeake <£- Ohio railroad over
I'iney Gulch and threatened the de
struction of other property. Tues
day night they went into camp near
Stanniford City.
About daybreak Wednesday the
combined posses surprised the riot
ers in their camp and called on them
to surrender. The reply was a shot.
This was answered by a shot and im
mediately a furious battle was rag
ing. When it ceased, three of the
rioters lay dead and many other?
were wounded, two of them fatally.
Special Officer Howard Smith, o*
the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad, was
shot in the arm. A striker slipped
up on him and fired. Smith dodged
the bullet intended for his heart and
received it In his arm. He then killed
the striker with a pistol.
Seventy-three arrests were made,
ten falling to the share of Deputy
Cunningham and f>3 to that of Sheriff
Cook. All the prisoners were taken
to Berkley, the county seat of IJal
eig-h. where the United States prison
ers were given a hearing by Commis
sioner Dunn and held for appearance
here. They will be brought here to
day.
The federal authorities will try to
get the state to give up the on so
that they may be tried in the federal
court, but it is doubtful if it will be
done, as the state court will meet on
Monday and it is thought they prob
ably can be tried more expeditiously
there. R. ('. Bnrdette, attorney for
the Mine Workers of America, went
to Beckley yesterday to attend to the
case of the miners.
The injunction which the miners
were charged with violating was the
blanket writ of Judge Keller in the
suit of the Chesapeake <S- Ohio ('oal
Agency Co. The defendants in the
case were all the coal companies op
erating in the N'ew river field, 150
members of the Mine Workers of
America, by name, including Presi
dent Mitchell and Secretary Wilson,
and all other persons whatsoever,
who (tided and abetted them. The in
junction covered almost every foot of

Sends the Following Grand Testimonial to
the Merits of Cuticura Remedies in the
Treatment of Humours of the
Blood, Skin and Scalp.
"I wish to give my testimony to
the efficiency of the Cuticura Reme
dies in what seems to me two some
what remarkable cases. I had a
number of skin tumours—small
ones on my arms which had never
given me serious trouble ; but about
two years ago one came on my
throat. At first it was only about as
large as a pinhead, but, as it was in
a position where my collar, if not
just right, would irritate it, it soon
became very sensitive and began to
grow rapidly. Last spring it was
as large, If not larger, than a bean.
A little unusual irritation of my
collar started it to swelling, and in
a day or two it was as large as
half an orange. I was very much
alarmed, and was a loss to de
termine whether it was a carbuncle
or a malignant tumor.

according 1 to directions, and spread
a thick layer of the Ointment on a
linen cloth and placed it on the
swelling. On renewing it I would
bathe my neck in very warm water
and Cuticura Soap. In a few days
the Cuticura Ointment had drawn
the swelling to a head, when it
broke. Every morning it was opened
with a large sterilized needle,
squeezed and bathed, and fresh

sister had a similar experience. She
had two large lumps come under
her right arm, the result of a sprain.
They grew rapidly, and our physi
cian wanted to cut' them out. I
would not listen to it, and she tried
the Cuticura Remedies (as I did a
few months ago) with magical effect.
In six weeks' time the lumps had
entirely disappeared,and have never
returned.
" 1 have great faith in the Cuticura
Remedies, and I believe they might
be as efficacious in similar cases
with other people, and thus save
much suffering, and perhaps life. I
have derived so much benefit from
the use of them myself that I am
constantly advising
others to use them. Re
cently I recommended
them to an office boy for
his father, who was dis
abled with Bait rheum.
The man's feet were
swollen to an enormous
size, and he had not
worked for six weeks.
Two bottles of Cuticura
Resolvent and two boxes
of Cuticura Ointment
worked a perfect cure.
You never saw a more
grateful man in your life.
" I am very much in
terested in another case
where I have recom
mended Cuticura just
now. My housemaid's
mother has a goitre
which had reached a
very dangerous point.
The doctors told her
that nothing could be
done ; that she could live
only two or three weeks,
and that she would die
of strangulation. She
was confined to her bed.
and was unable to speak, when her
daughter, at my suggestion, tried
the effect of the Cuticura Ointment
and Cuticura Resolvent. Strange to
say, she was very shortly relieved of
the most distressing symptoms. The
swelling seemed to be exteriorized,
and she is now able to be around
her house, and can talk as well as
ever.
" It seems to me that I have pretty
good grounds for believing that
Cuticura Remedies will prove suc
cessful in the most distressing forms
of blood and skin humours, and if
you wish to use my testimonial as
herein indicated, I am willing that
you should do so, with the further
privilege of revealing my name and
address to such persons as may wish
to substantiate the above state
ments by personal letter to me."
