EQEH8DURQ. PA., FXHUT. - - - - JAN. 12, 18S3. The aetioa of Mr. Meek, (Jl.rk of the House, in reducing the number of pa ges from 15 to 6, and the scrubwomen from 115 to 64, will sare the State f2, 00 in a Bingle session of 100 days. Good for Meek. T question, "Does repudiation re pudiate ?" will soon be settled by the Supreme Court of the United States, from the fact that what is known in Virginia as the Itiddleberger refuutl ing bill, which is onlj another name for repudiation, has just reached that body. The mode of settling the entire debt of the State i inrolved in the case. A Catholio priest in Donegal,"Ire land, telegraphed to the J-ondon Daily Jfexvt that he accompanied Mr. Treve lyn, Chief Secretary of Ireland, on a tour of inspection, and out of twenty families visited by them there was not a morsel of food in any house. This is a horrible picture of destitution and speaks trumpet-tongued against the re morseless and cruel result of Irish land lordism. Governor IIott's message to the Legislature shows that the State debt amounts to $20,236,083,23,and that from this sum must be deducted the assets in the Sinking Fund, amounting to 17,092, 9S3.82,leaving the actual State indebted ness on December 1, 1S32, f 12,232,099. f. During the last four years the re duction on the debt has amounted to one million, six hundred and fifty thous and dollars. Tub Senate of the United States will vote on the Fitz John Porter bill at 2 o'clock on this (Thursday) afternoon, in accordance with the unanimous agreement to that effect entered into last week by the supporters and oppon ents ef the measure. It is conceded that it will pass the Senate, but there are eo many important matters pending in the house that it is not at all probable a vote on the bill will be reached in that body during the six weeks that remain of the present session, and that it will hare to go over until the new Congress meets next December. The Legislature reassembled on Tues day last at 7 p. m. In tha Senate the chair announced the standing commit tees, and after a few bills had been read lm place, Mr. Watres, of Laokawanna, offered a resolution, which was adopted for the appointment of a committee of five to investigate the official acts of John C. Delaney, Senate Libiarian. Wat re s is a waim friend of Dalaney and the purpose of course is to whitewash him ; but he ought to be convicted on general principles. In the House the epeakrr said he was not prepared to an nounce th4 standing committees and no business of Importance was transacted. Ik accordanco with the rules adopted by the last Democratic State convention, the Democratic State Committee will meet atthe Bolton House, Harrisbarg. on Monday next, to elect a Chairman, Permanent Secretary, and an Executive Committee of seven ; and to trausact such other business as the Committee may determine. Under the rules, a county will be entitled to a representa tive delegate in the State convention for each one thous&fiil Democratic votes cast at the last preceding gubernatorial elec tion,or for a fraction thereof amounting to 500 or more. As Cambria gave Pat tisen 4,247 votes she will be entitled to four delegates in the convention, which will contain 359 members. Archbishop Purckll, old, poor and tottering on the brink of the grave, hav ing received a Christmas present of six ty dollars from a friend, sent it to the Cinninnati Catholic Telegraph for the benefit of his creditors. There is some thing peculiarly touching in his letter enclosing the money to the proprietors of the TtUgruph. While his financial operations were most unfortunate and terribly disastrous to a large number of persons, no breath of suspicion of dis honesty on his part has been whispered against the aged Archbishop. Ills let ter is as follows : St. Martis'B, December 23th, 1882. Ma. Owe Smith, Proprietor of the Cart. Ue TeUmpDaT Sir: Havir.jr learned that yoa had opened in the TtUgrapX a subscrip tion list for rey poor, suffering creditors, I end you ?60. Like the widow's mite, it is very small ; yet, like th widow's mite, !t Is literally all I rare. I could not send you tven this were it not for the touching kind ness of an old frlpad at Chrismastide. With this pittance I send you my warmest approv al for your noble, generous work. Ood ever bless you and the Telegraph for your dero tlon to the causa of honesty and Justice. Ton shall havn rny ni!y prayers foryonr succes ia your efforts to pay tny debts. Please ac cept the deepest gratitude of an old, pennl les Arcbbbhop. J. R. Pukcblu JrsT before the adjournment of the Legislature on Wednesday of last week until last Tuesday, to enable the Speak ers of the Senate and House to appoint the standing committees, a resolution was offered in the IIouso by a member from Philadelphia, and unanimously adopted, declaring : "First, that the session of 18S3 should bo distinguished by a close and constant application to the business for which the members have been chosen by the people. Sec ond, by a strict construction of the or ganic laws f the State. Third, by a auppression of all useless offices and a reduction of the expenses of the House so far as compatible with the public in terests ; and, fourth, by an early ad journment." If these avowed purposes are carried out there is a fair prospect that the session will not greatly, if at all, exceed one hundred days, and a hun . dred thousand dollars will be saved to . thij public treasury. It is not prudent, with past experience as our guide, to -place too much reliances upon such fair promises. They are easily made and likely to be as easily broken, and we simply put them ou record now so that when the session is brought to a close our readers will be abie to judge tur them4ves whether or not the perform ance has coruejup to tha high-sounding poi.a of tha iuAUifftoio. Whether on hot the Court House in New Bloomfield, Perry county. Is nearer the Court House in Carlisle than the Court House in Harrisburg is, seems to have become an important question in the contested election case between Bossier. Rep., and Wagner, Dem., in the Cumberland and Adams Senatorial district. Both candidates refeide in Cumberland county, Bossier having amassed a fortune as a government con tractor in supplying beef to the Indians in Dakota and other western territories. Wagner was elected by a small major ity and now occupies his seat in the State Senate. A few weeks ago Bossier began proceedings in the Cumberland county court at Carlisle before Judge Herman, who is a Democrat and a near relative of Bossier and for that reason declined to hear the case. His duties then devolved by law upon the nearest President Judge, and that is the bone of contention Bossier claiming that the two judges in Harrisburg,"Simonton and McPherson, bothlRepublicans, are nearer than Judge Barnett, of Perry ounty, who is a Democrat. Bossier, at his own expense, has had the distance chained from Carlisle to the Perry coun ty Court House, and the surveyor re ports it to be 13 miles and 17 rods, go ing by way of Sterrett's Gap ; but Wag ner's attorneys claim that the distance is one mile shorter by Craine's Gap. On the other hand, it has been found by actual survey that the distance from Judge McPherson's residence in Har risburg to the Carlisle Court House is 17 miles and 263 rods. A literal con struction of the act of Assembly of 1874 would seem to require a measurement on an air line. The case was adjourned by the court from yesterday week until yesterday, in order to have some more surveying done presumably the dis tance from Carlisle to New Bloomfield by the Craine Gap route. When each party to an election contest is afraid io trust his case to the decision of a Judge unless he belongs to his own party, It shows that there is something especial ly rotten in Denmark, Xo matt in this country ever before had the Presidential itch to such an alarming extent as ex-U. S. Senator McDonald, of Indiana, is now suffering and from which there is no hope of his recovery until after the meeting of the next Democratic National Convention, in 1884. He is an able man, with a good public record, and is exceedingly popular in his own State, but if ho ever stood any chance of being nominated his unseemly and overweening" anxiety in his own behalf, as recently manifested on more than one occasion, has effectu ally destroyed it. It is a painful spec tacle to see a raau engaging personally andpublic'.y in a movement having for its aim his nomination for the high and responsible office of President. The peo ple will then turn away from the sight with utter disgust, as they have done on several memorable attempts at the same game that the Indiana ex-Senator is now playing. It is not pleasant reading to learn from an Indianapolis dispatch dated on Friday last, that at a gathering of Democratic editors and politicians, which took place in that city on thefpre vious night, and at which Mr. McDon ald was formally nominated for the nominated for the Presidency, he him self was present and made a speech in which ho accepted the nomination. The past political history of this country shows that is a very easy matter to over do the business of bolstering up the candidacy of any particular individual for the Presidency, and especially so if the proposed candidate himself lends his open personal efforts to the project. Un less we are terribly mistaken, the Indi ana "claimant" will signally fail in the task he has undertaken, and will bo a much wiser man after the next Demo cratic National convention adjourns than he was in Indiana at the meeting a week ago last night. Ir the Star-route conspirators swind led the treasury out of an almost fabul ous amount of money, as they most as suredly did, the four lawyers who have been employed by the Government to conduct the prosecution against them are in a fair way, to use a vulear phrase, of making a nice thing out of it, They are Bliss, of New York, Ker, of Phila delphia, and Merrick and Wells, of Washington. It seems that up to Mon day last Bliss has been paid $30,000 ; Ker, $23,000, Merrick, 510,000, and Wells at the rate of ?20 per day since he has been employed. These sums cover the amounts for professional services at the former trial, as well as during the present one, which may be said only to have fairly commenced. Merrick is much the better lawyer of the four, and yet he has bagged only one fourth the amount received by Bliss; while Ker has feathered his nest with more tkan double the amount paid to Merrick. Wells, of course, won't be anxious to see the jury retire until the fourth of July, seeing that his daily pay is twen ty dollars. There is a good deal of very loud talk among Congressmen about the propriety of an investigation of the question bow these contracts for fees were made, and it ought to be done. If the present trial last as long as the first one the pay of Bliss will amount to 530, 000. He is a brother of Dr. Bliss, who wanted to be paid $23,000 for attending Garfield after he was'shot. On the ques tion of fees they are experts. Got. rATTisox has tendered to Col. Fressly N. Guthrie, of Pittsburg, the office of Adjutant General of the State and the tender has been accepted. This is an appointment eminently fit to have been made. Col. Guthrie served in the Union army during the whole of the war and won rapid promotion for cour age and meritorious performance of his duties. He is now Colouel of the Eigh teenth Regiment, National Guard, and comes of good Democratic stock. Jno. It. Hartranft, who is the Major General of the Guard, declared some time ago that if Faltison refused to re-appoint Latta, the present Adjutant General; he (Hartranrt) would resign his posi tion. Pattison has now given John F. a chance to go, and we hope be will not stand uiKn the order of Lis going, but 20 at once. THE BENEFICENT DEPARTED YEAR. lmpwtnnt in Oiir History a On of JPeaee ami rrosperity. THE HOME OF THE FREE. IBI mm UH F T PWR AID OPPRESSED. cobbcpt eoTEBincT orriciiLs. Re(lr Correspondence of the Fbibm am. Philadelphia, Jan. 7, 1885. Dear Henrt The eighty-second chapter of the nineteenth century has closed, and let us bgin the record of the new year with hopeful hearts and becoming gratitude for the infinite goodness that marked the progress of our comings and goings. New proof of the stability of republican government have been found in the orderly adminis tration of affairs which followed upon the murder of our President, and in the steady growth of fraternal feeling We tween the lately warring states of the Union. No plunge or scourge ravaged our land. There has been no halt in the developments of our acricultural or mineral wealth. Our towns and cities are increasing in wealth, affluaBce and population. The year of 12 will take its place in history as one of the most beneficient of departed years. The peo ple of the United States have shared to the full in the auspicious heritage of the year. America still remains the chosen land of the poor and oppressed of all lands and climes. Here tho immigrant finds the largest scope for the exercise of his faculties aud the broadest basis of relig ious and political freedom that the world has yet known. When the persecutions of the middle ages are revived against the Jews in Russia the victims pause not in their lli?ht until they have found pro tection beneath the American flag. When the Irish, Germans, Italians, Scandinavians, and the people of all oth er lands, desire to seek new homes their thoughts Erst turn to the United States. In spite of all drawbacks, the products of American skill are finding Ihir way into the markets of the world, defying competition. Immense crops have been gained, and the constant widening of the area of cultivation of our cerials indi cate that the country will have abund ance to supply the deficits of the world. Time's whirligig spins its annual rounds continually, but the windy ways of man are as dust which quickly rises up and as quickly laid again. Tha thresh hold of the year is a favorable time for retrospection, and it is well to adhere to the good fashion of making resolutions, for even if they are forgotten oi disre garded, ther9 is a gain in having made them, and in making plenty of them, too. It is well for us that we cannot withdraw the veil that hides our future. Could we anticipate what is in store for us that future would mar all the en joyment and peace of the present. To morrow is nothing more than a world of prophecies. To-morrow we do not know, and it is well that we do not. It is indeed well that we cannot pierce the invisible veil that conceals alike our joys and our sorrows. Well for us is it indeed that we cannot see through the gloom or shadow of coming ills, trials and afflictions. Many prominent names attract atten tion in the cronology of the past year. The death reaper worked heavily in tho ranks of men of hitter. Ainsworth, Dana, Rosetti, Emnierson, Longfellow, Marsh, Blanc, Auerbach and others, all fell by the death reair's scythe. All of these eminent men finished their work about the same time, and all have been given a lare space In obituary columns. Many Statesmen Heroes and men of Science shuttled off their mor tal coils last year. I could fill a column of the Freeman' with the names ot the eminent dead of 1882. But it is not of the eminent deal I think most of at this time, but of the humble dead, some that the world has never heard of, and wtio have left sadder vacancies than have the eminent dead. I regret, that in this, rny first letter in the new year, I cannot with pleasing re flection, boast of having made a credit able record in the old year. I cannot felicitate myself with tLe consciousness of having done anything so ennobling that it would make a marked point in my history. But in a retrospective glance over my record in the last twelve months, in which there nothing seen in the horizon in which I can take just pride, as a hopeful observer there is a seeming prospect of doing laudable things during the twelve months. The old year closed rather unpropitiously, but the new year is opening up a pros pect of a new era of development in vir tuous action. While the past year, which brought with it joys and sorrows, brought no special joy for me, it bro't nothing to prevent me from gratefully welcoming in the new year. If I have no cause for satisfaction in the past, I have good reason for hoie in looking forward to the future I will take occasion to inform the readers of the Freeman who have a de sire to see Etta Ophinchiithat they can do so by getting up in the morning at 4 o'clock on the 20lh inst. At that time Ophinchia, a star in the constella tion of Serpent Bearer, in conjunction with Venus, will be near enough to be seen, and the sight will be worth getting up at that early hour to see. Etta Oph inchia, like Venus, is "some pumpkin" of a star. Venu3 is morning star throughout January. She is the fairest and brightest of the starry throng that makes the morning skies tremulous with brightness. From what witness J. A. Walsh has said to President Arthur about the tes timony before the Washington Grand Jury, there is no doubt about Mr. Bliss, aGovernment attorney on the Star route cases, being a man in the wrong place. If Mr. Walsh's oath is to be relied on, Mr. Bliss is sympathizing with tho Star route thieves, and was instrumental in permitting Senator Kellogg to escape being implicated with Brady and the others. Mr. Walsh reviews at length the court proceedings against the in dicted men. He clearly recounts the failures and omissions of those charged with the prosecution, and tells the Pres ident plainly that if he intends to put the prosecution of the Star -route thieves above suspicion, that he will have Mr. Bliss removed, and fill hi3 place with an honest man. It is terrible to contem plate, and most humiliating and degrad ing to think and believe, that the laws of the land have been wantonly and shamefully violated by the Star-route thieves and their friends and agents; witnesses of the Government have been terrorized by them ; juries have been corrupted by them ; Government offi cers have been made to violate their oaths, and even justice it?elf has been made a mockery of in the Capitol of the Republic. Can it be possible, that in this Republic, men in the full glare of day, can as organized plunderers, unblush inglv and openly defy the power of the Government, through the aid of govern ment officials. The Star-route thieves can only escape conviction and punish ment through the corruption and man ipulations of the Government. G. N. 6. A frightful boiler explosion occurred on Tuesda) at Ne. 1 blast furnace, Bethlehem (Pa.) Iron Company, rasultiug in the death of five men and a woman, and in the serious injuring of several others. Ten boilers were located over theengino house at an elevation of 35 feet. Fire of these were 40 iacbes in diameter and 36 feet Ion a, and the others were smaller and were used for beating pur poses. Two of the largest boilers exploded with terrific foiee, wrecking the interior of the engine house, and demolishing nearly half the pattern shop, adjoining the engine housa. One boiler was earried through the ventilator and broka through the roof of the o!d mill and fell to the crround. Of the iea boilers only three were r-it In position. Narbow Escape ibom Death. When the regular train which left Kat Portags yes terday morning i nearing ihr bridge orer tho Winnepg Hirer the diirer notioed a man walkii.K on the structure. The train ap proached the bridge by a curve, so that the man could not be bis danger. The bridge la too nartew to permit of a person standing on one side uutil a train should pass, and it was impossible for him to reaab the other side before the train would overtake him. To jump from the Srid20 was certain death. The only course open was to clutch the outer board, and, suspended between life and dath, await the result. This the man did, and the train, which conld not be stopped, came thundering on. The conductor, recol lecting that the steps of the Ptiilinan car were very low and would probablv strike tb man's head, rubbed to the rear of the train and uncoupled the ear, which, by the prompt application of brakes, was stopped in time. The man pulled himself up and reached the other end of the bridge. At this instant a freight train wasobseived backing around tha curve, and there stood the Pullman car in the middle ef the bridge, filled with the terrified pasengTS, fcr the frent of the train had gone efl. The engine of the freight train was attached to tha rear end, so tbat it was impossible for the engi neer to see the Pullman car. To leave the Pullman car was certain deatb. as the pas sengers had do means of escape, and not withstanding the shout of the train officials the freight train came thundering on. It was a forlorn knpo, but it was the only one, and quick as a flash Coutluctor Trodden, of the passenger train, sigiia'ed tho engineer, who had goue off with the front part of the train, to back up. He sw the danaer, but true to his calling, reversed his engine and sped bank over the bridge on his mission of mercy. lie reached the ear, the coupling was made, the lever thrown backward, and not an instawt too soon the Pullman car and its preeious load were drawn from the threshold of death. Silently and witii awed facus the passengers rode to the city, each one realizing bow close bad been their call. The caboose attached to the freight train was also tilled with pas sengers but when they saw their danger many of them juiuoed from the oar into the snow drifts. Winneptg Hun. tiovr.RNOK IToyt submitted his Message to the State Legislature on Tuesday after noon of last week. It consists of nine col umns of the average newspaper. After some general introductory remarks he speaks f the financial Interest of the State which be finds highly satisfactory. He refers to the public schools in a complimentary man ner. State normal schools, he thinks, should be self sustaining. Of the soldiers' orphan sehool. which will close by act of Assembly in 1883, he thiuks that provision should now be made for the children who will be wards of the State at that time. A good portion of the message is devoted to the industrial re formatory at Huntingdon, the penitentiaries at Pittsburg and Philadelphia, the reform school at M organza, and the house of refuge at Philadelphia, all of which are spoken of as being in a fine condition and as effective as could be desired. Speaking of the Na tional Guard he says : '"Its continuance, under such conditions as will enable it to hold its own prtsent ptnte of usefulness and efficiency, as well as the confidence of the public, seems desirable in all points of view." In his concluding remarks he says : "For one, I have faith in the conseienee and the growing intelligence of our common wealth, and its ability to cope with and overcome the evils whieh have hitherto and may hereafter beset ns. To despair of the virtue of the citizen is to despair of self-government, and to despair of self-government is to believe that the frame of human socie ty is without a soul. We are beginning the third century of our existence as a State. The reminisconces of the heur are well adapted to stir within us reflections upon the possibilities of organized society, the secret of right government, and the duties of the free citizen in the free State. But thoughts without resolutions have a sickly hue. Sonorons phrases eount for nothing alongside of quiet deeds. Tatient participa tion in public affairs will do more to redeem our politios from the spoiler than thesablisn est political philosophy, and the intensest sentiment, if never embodied In action." Cl'RTOUP Conjuoal Rakoaih. A bill In equity filed yesterday by William R. Haliey gives a eurious story of a eonjugal bargain, in which he came off second best. Mr. Ual sey was married at Linwood, Delaware county, in April, 1877. His wife Rosanna was a buxorj country woman, with, as it proved, a ken eye to the main chance. In the spring of 1881 nalsey started upon a tour. His wife remained behind to take care of their baby, Einma. Jlalsey had boen travel ing for about a year when his journey was unpleasantly interrupted at Little Rock, be ing put into prison for bigamy. He had gone through the form of marriage aeain in Texas with a young woman whose name was Isa bella Peacock. After Dalsey had been in jail for come time he received a letter, he declared, from his wife saying: "If you will give me tw a month to live off I will do all in my power to free you and you may go." Ilalsey. who had been nia'ie melancholy by his incarcera tion, jumped at this means of release. A lawyer whom bis wife had employed came to his cell and procured an assignment of bis income, paable to him by the Philadelphia Trust Company, under the will of a deceased relative. After he had obtained his release rrm prison and recovered his composure be found that be h4 signed more than he was asked, ne had not only given his wife a hold on his income, but had also, In case of her death, bound himself to contribute fifty dollars a montu to the support of bis child. Mrs. Hrilspy eot a divorce last November. In a bill in equity, filed yesterday, Halsey sets out the faetf. of his conjugal negotiation's and asked that tho assignment be declared void, nis wife, lie avers, has declared that she had no Intention of binding her husband to his child and is quite willing now to allow the asslyrnment to be vacated. Philadelphia Timet, 1th. Double Suicide. A Detroit telegram of Monday last says : A double suicide was committed in this city Saturday night or Sunday, evidently with the coolest premedi tation. A man named J. Edward Monick and wife were tho parties to the shocking transaction, ne had been connected with the customs department of Chatham, Ont., bmt was discharged n few weeks since, and came with nis wife to this city, where they took board at the Franklin House. Saturday evening their month old child was given into the temporary charge of a lady conuected with the hotel to take care of for a moment. He then locked bis wife into her room and went away. The lady finally getting tired of her charge, sought about midnight to return the child to its mother, but was uuable to get into her room. En trance was finally secured by means of a key, when Mrs. Monick was found dead In bed, with every evidence that she had died fron morphine administered by her own hand or that of her husband. The same evening Monick went to the Urunswick House, regis tered under an assumed name, and telling the elerk be would not want breakfast went to the room assigned him. Here he was found yesterday afternoon in an unconscious condition from the effects of a dose of mor phine, and died later In the evening, all efforts to restore hi in t coneieusness proving unavailing. Both of them were under thirty, and had parents and other relatives living at Chat ham. It Is supposed that despondency over the discharge from bis position and failure of all efforts at restoration drove the pair to the commission of the crime. Next to noth Ing Is known oftheir previous hlstory'or any other cause to which the shocking event can be attributed. Relatives have already taken the bodies baek to Chatham. BCS ttn FROM DEATH. William J. Uoughlin, of Somervl!le,;Mass., says : In the fall of 1870 I was taken with bleeding of the Lcxos followed by a se vere cough. I lobt my appetite and flesh, and was confined to my bed. In 18T7 I was ad mitted to the Hospital. The doctors said I had a hole in my lungs as big as a half dol lar. At one time a report went around that 1 was dead. I gave up hope, but a friend told me of DR. WILLIAM HALL'S BAL SAM FOR TOE LUNGS. I got a bottle, when to my surpise, 1 commenced to feel better, and to day I feel better than for three years post.

R. Jones, President of the Miners' Association, was arrested at the instance of the Waverly Coal Company, and tried in "Westmoreland county for conspiracy. Hit offense was that in company with other miners and a brass band, ho visited the works of the Waveriy Coal Company for the pur pose of indueing tho miners to strike for higher wages. Jones was convicted and sentenced to a day's imprisonment in the "Westmoreland county jail. Since then the "Waverly Coal Company has prefei red another charge of conspiracy, based on the sanje grounds, against Jones and the proprietors of the Nation ul Labor Trilune, claiming JTO.OOO dam ages. The case ia, set for trial next month. Jones wrote to lion. Jere S. Black for his views and received tho following answer : "1 cannot promise to be present at your trial, because I have otber engagements which are likely to make it Impossible. I must therefore decline any tender of fees which would bind me toaeVas yonr counsel. I do not see any constitutional question In the cause, as you state it, but it involves some points of criminal law, which, though Interesting, are easily settled. "Any number of employers may combine together and act In concert to reduce the wages of their workmen, and nobody has ever called that a conspiracy ; but if the la borers In a shop unite to increase their wa ges and threaten te quit unless they are bet ter paid, this, according to the old decisions In England and America, U a criminal of fense. "More recent cases, however, Iny down the rule that a bwly of laborers roav as law fully say what they will take as employers may determine what they will give. Some what slowly, and with evident reluctance, capitalists have suffered the judicial mind to reach the conclusion that, the employer does cot exactly own the workman. If. there fore, the aim of your association was nothing worse than fo put up the price of your la bor to a satisfactory standard, and to coun teract the natural tendency of other interests to reduce It. you are inuoeent'peopleand the j Court will say so. "1 infer rroin your letter tnatyou solicited othersto join with you In making a demand tor wages as high as your own. or else stop work. That was not wrong, either. If you hnd a right to form the association, you had an equal right to get as many into it as you could, so that outsiders m:iy not defeat its purpose by cutting under, but you did not confine your membership or your influence to your immediate fellows working together withyou in the employment of the same master. You went to another mine owned by other parties and persuaded or tried to persuade the underpaid coal-diggers tkere that justice to themselves, as to you, re quired theui to lay down their tools unless they got the rates generally received in the neighborhood. At first blush this looks like intermeddling with a matter which did not concern yon ; but in truth you bad a fair in terest in it, because the accept ance ef small er compensation by one always tends to de press that of another. Tour resistance to low wages wai, ne doubt, weakened by the submission of others near you. This princi ple w understood by employees. If Scott and Garrett and Je.vvett would agree to re duce the wages on the railroad 20 per cent. Vanderbilt's refusal to do likewise would be a thing of evil example in their eyes, and they woald exert all their influense to make him come down to their level. "Persons engaged In a common cause, whether It be to raise or lower wat,es, are entitled to the sapport of others If they can get it by fair means. They charge you, bow ever, getting, or attempting to get the con currence you wanted, vitt armls, that, is to say, by force or arms. If your association went t j the otber mine In a body, or sent a very large delegation. It was not worse than any other big meeting, uuies yon behaved with unlawful violence. Our institutions and habits rather encourage the peaceable show of numbers as a means of persuasion. All organizations, political, religions and charitable resort to It. But you went there, or said you would go, with a brass band. 1 do not "think this implied violence or any threat of violence. A trumpet or a trombone is not a deadly weapon, and mnsic is not essentially wicked, or elp, it would not be used, as It always is in church and earap meetiags. In addition to these charges of riot and conspiracy, you are accused, as I understand, of bribery. The miners whom you were trying to convert to your own way of thinking, had agreed that they would for feit ?10 apiece if they did hot work a full year at tho rate of wages previously agreed upon between their employers and them selves. This pnnalry of accepting yeur doc trine and acting upon it, they could not pay without assistance, Your association oiTer ed to give them the necessary material aid.
