25th will have lots of good material to se
lect a candidate for Supreme Judge from.
The canvass for the nomination is becom
ing quite active but the question is likely
to remain in doubt nntil the convention
shall decide.
Chief Justice Gordon, of Jefferson coun
ty beads the list, but the fact that he haa
served a term twenty-one years is like
ly to operate against his re-nomination.
Judge Wilson, of Clarion ia alto a can
didate and his nomination ia urged by
his friends who succeeded in electing
bira in a district strongly Democratic.
Judge Mitchell of Philadelphia, ha
received the endorsement of the entire
Republican portion of the bar of his city
and his supporters include many of the
most active Republicans of the State,
Judge Sadler, who overcame a strong
Democratic majority in Cumberland
county i strongly backed in the central
counties.
Judge Stowe, of Allegheny county, is
about the most popular candidate in the
western part of the state. His canvass is
being jealously watched, however, by
the friends of Major Montooth, who came
so near being nominated for Lieutenant
Governor instead of Davies, and who
hopes to succeed Beaver as Governor.
The convention can not go -rong in
making a nomination from the above
list as one is quite as likely to prove as
strong a candidate as the other.
Two llemocratic members were sen
tenced to State s Prison at Indianaolison
Friday for forging returns, in order to se
cure a IVrnocratic Legislature and United
States Senator from that State. Mr. Tur
pie votes in the Senate to-day, a bogus
Senator in a stolen seat, because, these
crimes were perpetrated. Xo one ex
pects him to have the self-respect to re
tire from a place and power which do
not belong to him. Xo doubt tie is too
honest a man to steal a dollar from his
neighbor's pocket, l'ut he has stolen and
keep's the share of power in the Senata
which belongs to 240.OW neighbors, the
Republican voters of Indiana. Djes the
man not know that his keeping and us
ing of stolen property make his own all
tlie crimes by which the pretended Dem
ocratic majority in the Indians Legisla- .
ture was obtained ?
Fx-Senutor Thurman, one of the wor
thiest and most honest Iemocrata of the
past half-century, brought into court con- j
elusive proof on Friday against lietnocrat-
ic managers at Columbus, fastening upon
them the crime of forgery in order to
elect by fraud a Senator of the I'nited
States from ( Ihio in place of Mr. Sherman.
The fraud mas discovered in time and
defeated ; the Senator who had honored
tlte nation by his splendid services as
Secretary of the Treasury was elected.
Rut the duty of prosecuting and punish
ing the criminal remains. F.x-S-nator
Thin-man, who has consented to lead the
prosecution, holds that he would not be
worthy the name of DetnoTat if he
should refuse to punish crime by Demo
crats for the party's sake. How widely
he differs from the men in the Senate,
an 1 in the present Administration, who
have plotted, and labored, and instigated
crimes of many kinds, in order to steal a
majority in the Senate ! He declares that
there can le no escape for the accused ;
that he has absolutely fatal evidence
against them. Then they will lie behind
prison bars, while the men who set them
on to defraud the people posture as great
Reformers in high offices or other places
ot resonsibility.
The Cict comes out that Sena'or Gor
man, whose longcareer of fraud in Mary
land has been exposed by members of
his owrf party, and who, nevertheless, is
the chosen confidant of Reformer Cleve
land, has been placing the wires to cuv
ture Oregon by methods peculiar to him
self. F.very respectable IVmocrat knows
what that means. Money will be u?d
freely t hire repeaters ami to bribe elec
tion officers, and false returns will defeat
the will of the people if xw.sible. Yet
here is the restrvtable Democrat who
raises an effective protest ? In the House
of Representatives, it is said, four Ieuio
cratic members refuse to violate their
oath by votimg that a Republican mem-ls-r
is not entitled to li is seat, l'.ut how
is it with the great majority of memlM-rs
of that arty? IK they refuse to take
part in a fraudulent division by which
the jieople will lie rohticd ?

STRIKERS CROW WILD.
A Mob of MlnersTerrorlia the Town
Of Shanandoah.
PoirsviLLE. Pa, Feb. 3. A crowd of stri
kers numbering son men and boys at dusk
this evening met tbe return from work of
non-union hinds employed at tbe Balding
Company's hheoandoab City colliery, in the
southern part of Shenandoah. Two Coal
and Iron policemen . tried to force a passage
Air tbe workmen with drawn revolrers.
Tbis exasperated the mob, and armed with
clubs, palings, etc., they ntsbed on th po
licemen and party, and in attempting to res
cue a prisoner, felled Lieutenant Mover with
blowi from clubs. He then emptied his re
volver at his assailants. He fired five limes
and shot four persons, Mike flefhra, a bass
fciiM, in the mouth ; John Cather, of Ca
ther Brotliers, machinists, in the arm
both innocent citizens' attracted to the spot
by curiosity and two strikers, one Polander
in tlie car and another man in the neck. The
crowd scattered at the firing, but immediate
ly swelled to several thousend frenzied men,
ready to wreak vengeance on any policeman
or "scab" they could catch. Tlie police ar
rested two men and took them to Squire
Shoemaker's office, tin mob following and
almost demolishing the place in their efforts
to release their cora(iamon.
Meanwhile in the eastern part of tbe town
Inside Boss Duncan, of Kohinoor colliery,
was attacked. Officers came to the rescue,
fired into the crowd and arrested two men,
whom they took to Squire Monoghan a of
fice. Tbe mob grew wild and tore the entire
front out of tlie building and gutted it, and
tlie offiiiers with the Squire jumped for their
lives.
The moh has taken possession of the
streets, but has committed no further acts of
violence. Worse trouble is expected in the
morning.
The Coal and Irou Police have 30 regular
men about Shenandoah, and for fear of
a furtluT outbreak the force at other places
cannot he lessened. If trouble continues the
Sheriff will organize a posse to help to main
tain the peace. It is understood that a large
force of Pinkerton men was immediately or
dered to concentrate at Slienandoali.
Everything is quiet throughout the rest o'
the coal region.
PurrsviLLK, Pa., Feb. 5. Everything has
been quiet throughout the coal region to
day. At Slieu.indoiih the Sheriff and Coal
and In hi officials were busy organizing a
special police force and preparing for collect
ed hot work on Monday. Seventy-five men
were enrolled, armed with revolvers and
sent to Slienandoali on the midnight train.
Lieutenant Moyer. who took part in Fri
day's melee, is in charge. The strike leaders
are demoralized and are trying to prevent
further outbreaks, and t lit general opinion
here is that there will lie a general resump
tion shortly, as the better element of miners
are becoming disgusted at the acts of law
lessness. Tbe Pottsville Iron and Sleel Company
has announced a nil net ion of 10 er rent. 1
on all wages, to take effjet on February 15.

How Protection Protects.
The Hon. William l. Kelley in the Feb.
t'ltnim : The scale of protective duties should
be so adapted as to.sccurc the right of every
owner of land to provide for his present wants
and the future of his family, and to add to
the wealth and power of his country by de
veloping and bringing into profitable use all
the resources of his estate, whether they be
the products of the farm or those of the for
est, the mine, or the quarry. The land
owners of a nation, however, are not that
jHirtion of its citizens who are mast deend
ent upon the maintenance of a system of
duties which should, under all the vicissi
tudes of trade and changes in the course of
international commerce, defend their rights;
for tltough commercial depression may pre
vent them from making profits to be hoard
ed or expended in the improvement of their
estates, the may ppx-urc sustenance from
them. Rut it is not so with the landless
millions. Their estate consists of their thews
and sinews, of the training of their eyes and
hands lo qnck co-operative action ; of their
taste for and aptness in the production of the
attractive in form, texture and color; of
inventive genius, which enables them, by
new combination of mechanical principles,
or tlie spplicstion of srience to the arts, to
inrrejse the productive power of nations.
The and the like autitudes constitute the
etate of millions of uplc who are known
artUtt, artisans, laliorers, or by other terras
of df:guatiou ; aud who have tlie right to

Naw Vork'a Eloquent Democrat On
Thw White Contaat. - -
W.yatsctoa, Feb. 4. Tho break in their
ranks which toe Democrats had been fear
ing ever since their scheme to unseat Mr.
White became known, came unexpectedly
this afternoon in a vigorous talk from
BroukaCoekran. Mr. Rowell. a Republican
member of the Committe on. Elections, had
been speaking in favor of White, and when
he saddenly yielded fifteen minute of time
to Mr. Cock ran the House livened up and
looked lor a scnation.
Mr. Cockran gave it to them, for he not
only announced his Intention of voting
against his party's plan for increasing their
majority, but gave such unanswerable rea
sons for his determination that the old Demo
crats had hard work to avoid settling the
case by an Immediate rote. As it was, they
had tbe speaking continued until another
Democrat, Mr. Wilson of Minnesota, got
away from them, and then the taU was con
tinued in rather a dejected manner nntil the
adjournment.. During Sunday they will
have some oporptunity to stiffen up their
rank again, but the defections are almost
too serious to be overcome, aud the prospect
is that Mr. White will bold the seat to which
be was elected.
Mr. Cockran's speech, which was made In
the midst of an interested crowd of members
from both sides, was a very pluin statement
of the reasons for his fight against the policy
which would set aside the wdl of the people
iu order to gain a party srote.
He recounted the facts of the case, which
are admitted on both sides, and then went
on to say that it was merely a question
whether lie would believe Mr. White under
oath or not. Mr. White's word was corrob
orated by a character against which not
one word bad been uttered even iu the heat
of the debate, and it would take strong evi
dence to make him believe that such a man
had been guilty of perjury.
Men on the Itemocratic side, he went on.
claimed to represent popular sovereignty in
the fullest meaning of the word. They
claimed that to their party belonged the mis
sion of extending the power of the people
at the ballot box. So far as the people of the
Twelfth Indiana District could Sienk they
had declared their wish, their will, their
command, that Mr. White should be their
representative.
Against the command of the jieople the
Committer on Elections had advanced a num
ber of circumstances which, it was said,
teuded to im;each the veracity of Mr. White.
He must bclieveeither that Mr. White was
naturalized in Indiana, as he claimed to lie,
or that he had c immittcd perjury. II J was
a lawful metnlier of the II jusu of R -presen-t
stives or his place was at the liar of a crimin
al court o;i tho charge of perjury.
Mr. Cockran then went on to review Mr.
White's record, and closed by saying that he
came before the II wise after thirty years of
honorable life. He came with a history
which was rt of tlie history of the coun
try. He had hel 1 important ofli v and dis
charged the dutios of citiz 'nship. He had
sl.ed his blo-nI for hi co intrv, and his
wounds should not be made to blerJ afrr-h
j by reason of the ingratitude of his ass-n-i-'
ales.
It would rather be his own pride, as he
hoped it would be in bis power to cast a vote
I to show that he who risked his life in de
fence of the land merited a reward which
would surround him like an armor invinci
ble. On the point of the great aim in the
Democrats hi unseating him to gain another
State in case the Presiilential election should
come into the House, he said that their cam
paign should not be tought in that way. The
party should so comport itself, he said, that
the contest would not come into the House,
but that the people would overwhelmingly
express their ap;irjval of the I-':n i?racy at
the polls.
Concluding, he said : "Relieving as I do
while that flag which Captain White and his
associates had kept floating in pride over
every part of this country, floats over my
head ; while I fwl deeply grateful to the
heroes who preserved and cemented with
their blood this In ion under which we live.
I shall not cast a vote which would be trea
son to my constituency, and which would
pronounce a soldier of the Union guilty ol
perjury and unworthy of the association of
his ieilow men."
To-night the Democrats are very much
down cast over the probable failure of their
great political scheme of the session. Part
of the symptom of repentance may he duo
to the consciousness which is claimed for it
but some also is due to political advisability
in some districts.
Tha Captured Train Robber.
St. I .oils, Feb. 2. In the preliminary
examination of I.. W. Brock and Jim Bur
rows, at Texarkana, Brork made a confes
sion of the train robbery at tienoa, Dei-ember

money and $.0io other valuables in the hag
missing a ackage of alniut JttiO. He then
started for the mail car, but on advice to
leave the mail alone he turned away. The
three men started on foot for Texarkana,
and on the way divided the booty, his share
being about $.0. About two miles from
Texarkana they were ordered to halt by a
party who immediately began firing ujsiii
them and they returned the fire as they tied.
Iu the flight they threw away the slickers
the clew which led to their arrest. An hour
luter tlie party again came together, and
they struck across the country away from
Texarkana. The fireman, J. 8. Croven, rec
ognized Burrows as the robber whose mask
slipped off as he entered theenginecab. Both
men were bound over in $7,500 bail. Bur
rows waived examination.
Jim Burrows, the Genoa (Ark) train rob

The Bloody VendetU-
LorisvaiE, Jan. SO. Judge Wagner and
County Attorney Lee Ferguson, of Pike
County, together with 8. O, Kiniier. of
Commonwealth's attorney of the Sixteenth
District, arrived in Frankfort and asked the
Governor for arms and ammunition for the
Pike County people, who are threatened
with massacre by the Hatfield, of Logan
County, W. Va. Several years ago the
trouble originated. One of the McCoys, a
constable, arrested one of the Hatfields for
aome trilling offense. Subsequently, at an
election in Pike County, a difficulty ensued
between the parties and a Hatfield was shot.
Four of the McCoys were arrested, and were
taken from the authorities by tbe Hatfield
mob, who carried them, together with the
wounded Hatfield, into Logan County, West
Virginia. Uens Hatfield died, and after his
death the four McCoys were taken back to
Pike County, tied to a heap of bushes and
shot todealb. '
Lait September Governor Buckner offered
$.V)0 reward for the murderers 'of the Mc
Coys, bnt the Governor of West Virginia re
fused to recognize the requisition. Em
boldened by this refusal, the Hatfield gang
made a raid into Pike County on New Year's
Eve of the present year and burned old man
McCoy's house. McCoy's youngest daughter
attempted to quench the Haines and was shot
in the breast and killed. A young son was
also killed on the same night, and the aged
mother was beaten nearly to death. The
old man esiqied and earned the news to
Pikevillc. The ieople armed themselves
and about thirty nieu formed a party to
avenge the outrage. They went into Iigau
County and soon after killed two men, Jim
Vance and John Hatfield, connected with
the Hatfield gang. On Thursday, last this
party CTossed Tug River and proceeded a
short distance in West Virginia unmolested.
but when Hearing the residence of Captain
liutlield they came across a woman in the
road with a bucket, who was standing picket
and who immediately waved an alarm.
The capturing iarly continued their journey j
for a few rods and when turning a point in .
the road were tired usm by a squad of eight :
from the Hatfield gang. Itnd McCoy was '

They are well organized and well armed.
Governor Buckner grunted the rcqnot for

Shooting at Strikers In Pittsburg.
PiTrsaraii, Feb. 4. The Polar Iron Works
of Clark & Co., was idle for two months, be
cause the firm and the employes differed on
the question of allowing William tiimins, a
roller, to retaiii two jobs. The workmen
wanted Simms to divide the Vrork with an
other man. .Sitnms still holds the fort and
says that he has been admitted to the firm.
Yesterday morning the mill was manned
with negroes, the furnaces lighted and the
machinery set in motion. This uflcruoon
at 4 o'clock work ceased for the week and
eighty of the negroes escorted by a score of
policemen Hurled for tlicir homes. They
were followed by about : men and boys.
A short distance away from the mill, one of
the boys threw a brick which hit a police
man. Nearly all the negroes at once drew
revolvers and fired at the boys. A policeman
also tins!. The boys scattered in all direc
tions. Joseph Kenny, age seventeen, was
found unconscious in the street. He was
shot in the face. Two other lsys are said to
have been wounded. One of the policemen
seized the negro who shot Kenny, and after
a severe struggle, took his weaon fr.im him.
He'did not arrest him and afterward told the
lieutenant who censured him that he had
forgotten to do so.

Wasiiisotox, February 2. The postmas
ter in a small village in Mississsippi has
written lo the postmaster general asking
him to discontinue the office. He explains
that his neighbors, who are wool growers,
became distrustful of his r.ihbit dog, and in
consequence, he states, "it turned up miss

inaster pathetically, " without the means of
sustenance. So if you expect ' me to sit tip
nights for the train, you will have to for
went, at once, some pork and beans or some
other nourishment, or a new postmaster will
hare to be appointed at this place." He i
adds in a postscript :
Mr. wants mo to
split him some rails if I can get rid of this
office, so hurry up with the grub or the dis
charge." The office wa discontinued in re

Inside lie found Mrs. tirant's Imdy in bed,
her head crushed to a jelly, as if ly a eluh.
On the floor was the body of the wife's sis

15-ycar-old son.
The tlieory is that, as tyrant was a hard

and that (frant, frenzied by tlie thought of
her departure, took a club and brained them
all while they slept and then committed su
