tt,TVlU-"i"6 " ' " '
on the second Wednfeday of JuLe,
calls our attention to the fact, un
known to u, that the Convention of
last year amended tbe party rale
fixing the second Wednesday of Ju-
as the date for holding the State
Convention except in Presidential
years, so as also to include Guberna
torial rears. Our views in regard to
the necessity for an early convention
remain unchanged, but as tne Statc
Comniiltee has the power and will
probably exercise it of calling the
convention in June.our party friends
may as well make up their minds to
the unpleasant necessity of hol
ding an extra primary election pre
vious to the second Wednesday
of June, sblely lor the purpose of
electing delegates, or of permitting
the county to go unrepresented in
the Convention.
Thlre may be justifiable causes,
of which we know nothing, for the
strike of the Southern railroad men,
but there can be no justification for
their lawless acts. During the past
several weeks numberless outrages
have been perpetrated. Switches
have been turned, cars uncoupled,
engines disabled, bridges burned,
trains derailed and much violence
pLi)hd in tnanv other wavs. If
the strikers, who are bauded together
I as 'Knights of Labor,' have right en
their side, they can salely rely upon

this ;uid al! tlrikes of a ttimilar kind
in the future. It yet remains to be

regulations of the order Mr. IV.v
derly can control bis associates.
There is bui
labor situation.
little change iu the
The strikers on the
Gould railroad system are still strik
ing and, what is worse, resorting to
violence to prevent the running of
freight trains, hi the meantime
they are making desperate efforts to
stem the tide of public disapproba
tion which is manifesting itself in
various quarters. At Denison. Tex
as, a boycott has been resorted to
against the merchants who indorsed
thcaftion of Vice President Iloxie,
and iu St. Louis the business menare
appealed U to indorse the position
of the strikers. Threats are also in
dulged in that if their demands are
not acceded to a general strike, ex
tending throughout the entire coun
try, will be inaugurated. Nothing
would eo surely result in the com
plete overthrow of the labor organi
zation as the carrying out of this
foolish threat ; but men do very
foolish things Bometimes. On the
other hand Mr. Powderly the Grand
Master of the Knigbts of Labor.w ho
is a cool and level-headed man eees
the grave daiger ahead to the labor
organizations, if unreasonable de
mands and foolish strikes are per
sisted in, and he is using bis utmost
authority to prevent them. He has
just issued a circular to the Knights
of Labor, in which occurs the fol-
lowing sensible paragraph
I must liave the a.Ms:iim,e f the onlrror

resort lias bee:i ajiwa!! to. Threat of vio
leui i:nist not be ma le. Politicians must
be hushed up or driven out.
It is evident from the whole tenor
of his address that the KnjghU are
divided in their councils, and that
subordinates have assumed powers
in ordering strikes and boycotts
without first advising with Mr.
Powdr!y, their chief. As an hon
est and clear-beaded man lie sees
the danger into which tbe organiza
tion has beea brought by this iudis
creet action and he has the courage;
to utter his disapprobation. If lie
is obeyed, the preseut unfortuuit'.e
conflict will soon be ended. If he
is not, then labor will be defeated by
its otrn fol'y.

greatly to the damage of business.
As we gather from tbe city papers,
sir men were lately discharged for
cause on tw3 of the lines. The
Kcichts of Labor, to which orirani-
ration the discharged men belong,!
at once demanded their restoration,

this demand the owners, being men
of ordinary sense, who would not
invest their money in a bu-finess
they could not control or be permit
ted t manage, said no! and at once
the strike was inaugurated. The
striker refuse to work, and prevent
others from running the cars, and
a deliberate attempt is thus made
to destroy the business of citizens
who are conducting a legitimate
trafiic under charters granted by the
State. That men have an undoubt
ed right to put a price upon their
own labor and to use every lawful
means tJ protect their own interests,
is aa undisputed point, but it must
be equally as well settled that they
have no right to dictate the wages
of others, to interfere with the busi
ness of others, or c;nspire to ruin it
because not conducted in accordance
with their view.-. Thi; " rule or ru
in" business attempted by secret se
ek tits must not be permitted , nay,
caanot exist in a country controlled
by law, and those now engaged in
sowing to the wind will reap the
whirlwind if a check is not put on
their mad career. The whole struc
ture of our government is b.ned on
the theory that rights and duties
are reciprocal. Overthrow tliis and
chaos has come agui'i.

A year of Damocralis ruie has
p tsscd, and there is not only no ad
vantage to show for it, but it hns
plainly brought detriment of a seri
ous aind to the hopes and calcula
tions under which Mr. Cleveland
was inaugurated. In no respect
have the opportunities of the situa
tion been wisely or beneficially im
proved, Congsess has been in session
all winter, and final action has not
been reached with regard to the tar
iff, the currency, the internal rev
enue, the civil service, or any other
of the familiar issues which should
h;vve been tr.ken up and disposed of.
The passage of tiie appropriation
bills will probably be the total
measure of definite legislation the
only result of a year's Democratic
control and direction of national af
fairs. This is certainly a most insecure
ond unproinisirg basis of appeal to
the country for endorsement and
continued trust annd support. In
the coming elections, it will not be
possible to gain Democratic success
by denouncing the Republican par
ty ami repeating stories of Republi
can corruption and mismanagement.
For the first time in a quarter of a
century, the Democratic position
tbisyear is a defensive one, and it
can win only by showing that it has
done the het it could with the pow
er intrusted to it.
The detractions which h"ve been

concerning the offices pre widespread

There are thousands of Democrats,

themselves, but who have been none
the less offended by the indifference
with which their recommendations
in behalf of others have been treat
ed. All this will tell in the Con
gressional contests, particularly
Men are not likely to become very

poorly situated to obtain it. It a
Presidential election were to be held
the coming November, it could not
hope by any devicu or accident to
achieve succe-s. It has the Presi
dent for four years, and is so cecure
on that point: but a new Congress
is to be chosen this year and in th.t
respect it may easily suffer a misfor
tune that will make the Presidency
a complete mock'-ry. The Republi
cans can surely caivy all the districts
that they carried in ISS-i, and they
have an excellent opportunity to sev

THE CH A RLE KOI RIOT.
j,apfn Scene In tbe DiaturbeU Bel-
arlan Mining Dimrtct.
London. March 2S. Tbe Krussels
correspondent of the Daily Netvs
sends the first account of tbe troub
les in the Charleroi mining district
that has been furnished by an En
glish speaking journalist. The en-
tire district is under strict martial ,
law. No ciuzens can stir abroad
without a pass from a staff officer.
Resistance to arrest means death.
EveJV eroUD of five men or over is
defined in general orders as a mob,
and is fired upon with ball cartridge
after neglecting onesummons to dis-
perse. Houses from which the !
troops are habitually attacked are
raided and all tbe inmates arrested.
If they reaisljarrest too viciously the
house is blown up with gunpowder.
Yet with all these 6tern measures of
repression, the military force ia bo
small and the points to be guarded
are so many that rioting, pillage,
arson and rapine ge on apparently
unchecked.
The damnge to the property in
the disturbed district is now estima
ted by moderite men at 25,000,000
franca. Tbe number of troops in
the field exceeds 15,000. and should
be doubled with twenty batteries of
artillery, to be placed at intersec
tions of streets in tbe cities, to mo
down moba with grape that are un
controllable by " infantry. Every
jewelry store and gun shop in Char
leroi and nearly every liquor whare
houee and drinking-saloon has been
looted and more or less completely
wrecked. Churches have been rob
bed of all articles of precious metal.
More than 100 collieries, foundries
and residences have been burned.
The latter were the property of the
" bourgeoise " generally, the rioters
not discriminating in this respect
ajjainst employers. Hundreds of
citizens have been robbed in the
j streets in daylight. One young lady
who wore a diamond ring that was
tight upon the finger had her finger
amputated by the ruffians with
chisel and mallet. Scores of virtu
ous women have been outraged. In
two cases mothers who fought to
preserve their honor bad the brains
of their babies dashed out before
their eyes.
Brussels. March 2S. Dispatches
from Charleroi sav that there has
been further riotininn that town, re
sulting in the killing of several per
sons and the wounding of several
other?. The rioters in Jumet, upon
the approach of the troops sent to
disperse them, placed 200 women in
the iront ranks. 1 he troops opeuea
fire and many of the women were
wounded.
The strike is extending to Namur.
Additional troops have been called
from Brussels to quell the disturb
ances. Later advices from Charleroi re
port that the town is calmer and
that there will probably be no fur
ther demonstrations by the strikers
as a body. The strikers are desti
tute, and are compelled to beg for
food. Tbe men are desperate and
threaten personal violence if their
wants are not supplied. A uumber
of men will go to work to-morrow.
They will be armed with revolvers
with which to defend themselves in
case of an attack by strikers.
The authorities have prohibited
the sale of the newspaper Pevple of
this city. Two classes of the militia
have been called out for service. A
ciicular signed by the Goyernor of
Hainauit is placarded throughout
Charleroi proclaiming a state of
siege throughout the district of the
strikes, and authorizing troops to
cut dwn and fire upon all rioters
who refuse to disperse. Strikes are
threatened at Flenu and Quaregnon,
and troops have been sent to those
places.
Charleroi, March 23. The situ
ation is assuming a serious aspect.
Appeals for troops have been receiv
ed from Chatelet, Chatelineau, La
Louviere, Uilly and Couillet, where
several factories and mines have
been wrecked, and where several
persons have been killed and woun
ded in collision with the local troops.
Only tbe civic guaids remain here,
and they are now exhausted from
their incessant vigilance. The burg
omaster has been compelled to call
for volunteers to defend the princi
pal streets.
News of disorder comes from all
directions. There was a sharp en
counter last evening at Sebastopoi
Trench with a crowd of rioters who
were trying to enter Cnarleroi. Two
of the rioters were killed and sever
al wounded and the rest fled. The
striktrs defy the troops at Chatelet,
Couillet and Chatelineru,and serious
figbting is expected.
Tbe V Ittubnrc Car Slriur,
PmsfcUiw, March 28. Tbe situ
ation in the street car strike to-day
remains unchanged. Not a car has
moved on any of the lines under tbe
ban of the Knights. All of tbe
churches were slimly attended ; in
faet, only a corporal's guard muster
ed in some of !l;e largest down town
churches, whose Membership ia
drawn from the South Side and Al
legheny. Crowds thronged Fifth
aenueand Smithfield Ptreet all day,
however, dawii thither by the be
lief that an attenint could le made
to move cars on some one of tbe
nine lines. Tfaey were disappointed.
Attempts to interview the leaders
00 both sides are very unsatisfac
tory. Xeithar the Jabar lea iera nor
the representatives of the companies
will ay anything. It is evidently
to be a question of endurance, the
companies plainly relying upon the
complaints that will arise from the
public, .hrough lack of transporta
tion, in the course of timr. The

A Jackaoa Newspaper Strongly De
nounces th Carrollton Maasacre.
Jackson, Miss., March 25. The
Clarion, a newspaper of widespread
influence. rmblished here, and the
late official journal of the State, in
a long, editorial, condemns ths Car
rollton affair, characterizing it as
murderous, brutal, and i-iiiirely in
excusable and unjustifiable-, without
extenuatinir circumstanci s or pallia
tion and adds: "The people of
Mississippi, who do not wish to rest
under the odium 01 acquiescence iu
j a wholesale butchery, have a duty
Uq reform. They must speak out in
denunciation ot all deadly assaults
uoon uersons or citizens of the State.
There must be an assertion of the
rights cf all to life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness. We know
that the large majority of our citizens
are law-abiding, but if they do not
condemn the Carrollton outrage, the
judgment they will receive, and
merit, from the civilized world
would aptly fit a nation of savages.
We must reassure the negro. We
must call 'Halt !' to his murderous
enemies."
A NATIONAL INVESTIGATION REQUIRED
Washington, March 25. Ex
Senator Bruce and ex-Congressman
Lynch, of Mississippi, who called
on the President yesterday in regard
to the CarroUton outrage, represen
ted that they had received numbers
of letters frcm colored people in
that section requesting that the mat
ter be laid before the President for
such action as he may deem proper
to take. Messrs. Lynch and Uruce
stated that the colored people were
almost paralyzed with fear by the
outrage, and that a number who
had been wounded had fled to the
woods and it is to-day unknown how
muiiy were killed, or had died of
their wounds. The attention of the
President was directed to the fact
that the Governor of Mississippi
had taken no official action in the
premises and was presented as hav
ing intimated thai no action could
be takan that would entrench on the
authority of the count' in tbe pre
mises. Tbe President listened with atten
tion to the recitals of Messrs. Bruce
aud Lynch, and expressed himself
in decided terms against such affairs
as a blight to our civilization. He
expressed himself as surprised that
the State authorities had taken no
steps to have the outrage investiga
ted and the guilty parties brought
to justice. He intimated that the
matter had been called to his atten
tion by the Attorney General. The
interview lasted upwards of an hour,
and Messrs. Bruce and Lynch ex
pressed themselves as much pleased
at the cordial manner cf their recep
tion, the earnestness of the President
and tbe interest he took in having
the matter rightly investigated.
Secretary Manning's IllncsH.
Washington, March 24. Secre
tary Manning's illness is much more
serious than is uenerally supposed.
Tho attack from which he is suffer
ing r sul'ed from the bursting of
one of the 6inall blood vessels in the
bead, and that it did not affect the
brain is an extremely fortunate cir
cumstance. This shows an apoplec
tic tendency on bis part, and the
general impression is that unlens he;
wishes to endanger his lile be must
retire from the Cabinet and give
himself absolute rest for some length
of tim
It is reported that some time ago
he expressed to the President a de
sire to resign his position, asserting
that the duiies were so exacting
that he was wearing himself out, but
that the President prevailed upon
him to remain in office until th
conclusion of the session of Con
gress. Mr. Manning has given him
self no rest whatever from tbe time
he entered tbe Cabinet a year ago.
He has buen accustomed to rise at 6
o'clok in the morning, and, with his
.i..n,. nA.ii it liniM in n i,i ti p
department, which he always reach-
ed at 0 o'clock. Here be remained
often until 5 or 0 in the evening, and
then took a ehort drive before diu
ner. Frequently he bascarried cases
home with him, and continued bis
labors far into the night. He has
taken no exercise whatever, and,
though ftis constitution is- a power
ful one, it has broken down under
the constant strain.
His physicians say he must either
resign or go upon a long vacation,
where be will have absolute rest.
He has been a generous liver, and
the present attack is a warning that
should not go unheeded. His con
dition is somewhat easier to-night
than it was this morning, but he is
by no means out of danger, and
there are grounds for very serious
apprehension.
Jhfir liuuso Sat on Fire by Rufllana.
Pakkersbuku, W. Va , March 23.
Only several weeks ago a man wa3
taken from his borne and brutally
whipped and his daughter treated
iu a shameful manner by the Klux.
The latest act of the villains occurred
at Smilhville on Sunday night in
which Robert Glover and bis family
were almost roasted to death. About
midnight a party of men assembled
about the hoyse and demanded that
Gfcver tome out. This be refused
to do and be rased? be.m pouring
a volley of shot jnto tne building
from reyolyers, sbgtguus and rifjes.
some of the bullets entered the win
dows and narrowly missed the in
mates. Glover returned tbe fire and
it is thought wounded several of lis
assailants. The Ku Klux men then
rode up and poured coal oil on the
house and set it afire, and when Glo
ver aitmpti'd to extinguish the
Haines Uns si;f :;t biiu and he was
compelled to reUeai. They threw
more oil on the building and th
flames burst high in the air. The
inmates stood the heat as long as
possible, fearing to flee lest they be
shot, but at iat tljey were compels
ed to leave the bouse, Mrs. (jiover
going 6rt to tbe stable to release a
caw and horse. While ou this mis?
sion the ruffians fired on her, but
she escaped unhurt. Her husband
was wounded seriously but under
cover of the smoke they were en
abled to gam the woods and thus es
cape. The houe aod contents were
totaliv destroyed.

MIL M ASKING'S CONDITION.
Xo longer Any Attempt to DiAgiilae
the crl(n Nature of HI Illncaa. .
Washington, March 25. There is
no longer any attempt to disguise
tbe fact that Mr. Manning U ia a
critical condition. The hopeful re
ports which come from the bedeide
of the stricken Secretary are of that
faint- hearted nature which increase
rather than relieve tbe anxiety cf his
friends. He lies this evening as he
has been lying all day in a state of
helpless uncertainty, growing no
worse, getting no better. I here are
no additional specially alarming
symptons. There are no evidences
of recuperation.
The Secretary's relatives, friends
and physicians are simply awaiting
tbe passage of time and the possi
bility of another stroke. The longer
be escapes it the more probable and
rapid bis recovery. In fact, his life
depends upon the next two days. It
he should be visited by another
stroke of apoplexy for that is the
diagnosis of his case he has one
chance iu a hundred for his life. If
he escape this dreaded visitation
good nursing and plenty of rest
may restore him to good health.
This is the way matters stand with
relatiou to his illness. It is believed
thai Mr. Manning will never resume
the duties of Secretary of the Treas
ury. His son James has arrived
from Albany. He has not yet com
municated with his father, nor does
the latter know that his son is here.
As soon as the crisis is past he will
make bis presence known. The son
says that he will insist on his father
taking a long vacation as soon as he
is able to travel. They will go to
Florida, he thinks, though that is
not settled. The Secretary has tbe
very best medical attention.
So certain are some people that
Mr. Manning's official career is clos
ed that speculations ar9 already in
dulged as to his succes-or. Death
has been playing around the Cleve
land Cabinet all winter, nearly every
member of it having lost some near
and beloved member of his farnilv
and Secretary Bayard two menbers. !
This is the first threat, however, j
that seems to have encroached upon
the official circle.

Cow-Boys Titckle the Wrong l'arty.
Galveston, March 2G. A Fort
Elliott (.Texas) vpcciai says: For
some time past the cow-boys em
ployed on the L. S. ranche, near the
town of Tascosa, have been accused
of " maverick ing" cattle that fell in
their way. On March 20ih four
beeves owned by a friend of L. E.
Woodruff, a bartender in Tascosa,
disappeared, aud L. S. ranches cow
boys wnre accused of appropriatinc
them, but they strenuously denied
tiie accusation.
Shortlv hfter midnight on the 21
, stinst. the inhabitants of the town
were aroused bv a volley from rides
and revolvers. Among those whoj
luuiwcu vr iiieii iu,Jin ill Avruriiaiu
the cause of the trouble was Jetse
Sheets, a hotel proprietor. He had

ed the citiz ins made an investiga
tion, and found Kd. King, Frank
Valley, and Frd Chilton, of tbe L.
S. ranch, dead, and Charles Emery
and the bartender, Woodruff severe
ly wounded.
It appears that the cow-boys .with
a miscellaneous party had gone to a
r- ,
: saloon to drink. After a few minu-
! tes of quiet conversation the " mav-
i erif,k " qwtwn came up and Valley

and added

By-
I won't stand
All hands drew their revolvers
and began tiring, but the cow-boys
evidently had the disadvantage of
being the poorer marksmen. The
officers have arrested Charles Emery
one of the wounded men ; John
Goueh, known an"C:tfish Kid,"
and Louis Bon'sman.
The prisoners claim that it was a
matter of annihilation for one side
or the other and they did the best
they could for their own lives. The
killing of Sheets was entirely unin
tentional, as he was not connected
with the dispute in any way.
Valuable Stock Burned.
Providence, K. I., March 25.
Tbe mammoth barn at the Hopkins
stock farm in East Providence, a

five years rajsing bis herd and would

MonDdn, March 25. A remarka
ble duel was fought on the field of
Waterloo to-day, the contestants be
ing Mme. Valsayre, a native of
France, and Miss. Shelby, an Amer
ican. Tbe duel was tha result of a
dispute on the relative merits of
French and American female doc
tors. After a stormy altercation
Mme. Valsayre threw her glove in
Miss Shelby's face, and a duel was
forthwith arranged. The weapons

The Salt Over the Stolen Baby.
Pitts tiCRG, March 24. Mrs. Mey
ers, who has been on trial for some
days past on a charge of perjury,
was found guilty this morning. Mrs.
Meyers was one of the principles in
the contest for a baby, the other
contestant being Mrs. Baueis. Mrs.
Meyers sw..re at a hearing in a
habeas corpus case to obtain josse
sicu that, she was the mother of tbe
child and Mrs. Bauers claimed that
she was tho mother, but gave it to
Mrs. Meyers to take care of until
she recovered her health, 6b being
at the timfc an inmate of the City
Almshouse. Several witnesses tettti
fied that they were present at Mr.
Meyers' house when the child was
born, but toe nurse testifies that the
baby was obtained from Mrs. Bauers
and that she aided in the deception
practiced. Mrs. Bauurs will institute
habeas corpus proceedings at once
for a recovery of her child. The
case is said to be without a parallel
in the history of American and Eng
lish jurisprudence.
A Minister tioes on Stride
New London, Pa., March 23. A
sensation was created in the little
Presbyterian Church at this place
on Sunday by the pastor's, Iiev. J.
B. Clark, relusal to preach. The
congregation assembled at the usual
time in the morning and there pa
tiently awaited the pastor's coming
until about 11 o'clock, when it was
deemed advisable to send a commit
tee to his residence. The committee
lound the door ocked. but with evi
dence of life within. Failing to gain
admission through tbumpiug at the
door they raised a window, and were
met by the minister, who wanted to
know the object of their intrusion.
Mr. Clark informed the delegation
that he had recut!y become dissat
isfied with some action on the part
of the Board of Trustees, and furtfier
that his salary was in arrears. The
committee returned to the church,
toid the story of their interview with

A M ould-be Murderer's Suicide.
Cleveland, O., March 21. An
atrocious attempt a; murder which
culminated in the suicide cf the

of revolver and, aiming at ?drs. key-
man s head, fired two shots, botn of
which missed. Meyer then ran from
the house and made his escape. The
neighoors learned of the affair soon
after and started in pursuit. After

i when about to overtake him, Meyer
