Bates County Mining.
St. Louis Republican.
Mining Inspector Wolfe, of Hates
County, in a report to the Commis
sioner of Labor Statistics of Missou
ri, gives an encouraging picture of
the condition of coal mining in that
favored county. In his 'ist annual
report he estimate! the area of work
able coal lands in the county at 95,
000 acres. Since then somanyfre.h
discoveries have been made and so
many new mines opened, as to war
rant him in doubling the estimate,
There are now 250 mines worked, in
the county, an increase of in the
last year ; the amount ot cipital in
vested is $1,000,000, and the num
ber of men employed in them is 2,
157. The Rich Hill Mining Co.,
the oldest and largest company in
the business, ship 150 car-loads of
coal per day, and are gradually in
creasing their operations. They
own 2,500 acres of mining land and
employ S50 men. The miners are
paid 3 cents a bushel for mining, and
is said some of them earn $120 a
month. The veins are four to six
lect thick, and in most cases the roof
ing is hard slate. The coal is of
fine qualitv.nearly free from slate and
sulphur, and is held in high esteem
by the railroad companies in the
West and by the factories m Kansas
City. One thing is a little surpris
ing. This coal is sold in Kansas
City for 16 to 22 cents a bushel, al
though the cost of mining and deliv
ering it on cars is only 5 cents, with
6 cents more for carriage. The fact
that only one man in this company's
mines was crippled during the year,
and he by a premature blast, speaks
well for the general management ot
the business. Laborers are paid
$1 50 a day and teams $3 a Hay.
The inspector savs the quality of
coal ir the new Walnut district is un
surpassed in any section west of the
Mississippi. The veins average four
feet in thickness and the coal sell in
the market 2 to 3 cents a bushel
higher than other coal. There is
enough workable coal in the county
to supply the Western and Northern
demand tor ages, and the only diffi
culty at present is the lack ot trans
portation and this will be shortly
overcome when the railroad exten
sions to the county shall have been
completed. With the mines work
ed to their full capacity they would
employ 10,000 men and turn out
1,000 car-loads a day.
frenzy. It occurred in Mississippi,
and was therefore spoken of as a
murderous attack ot whites upon
blacks. Here was an opportunity,
however, for the Yazoo people,
whice theu passionately threw away.
If they had left the law to take its
course, as the families of the slaugh
tered men implored them to do. the
truth of the affair would have been
their vindication and a rebuke to the
rising howl for another ''bloody
shirt" campaign in 1SS4. liut hav
ing acted as many a Northern com
munity has done under like circum
stances, and forty or fifty enraged
white men having broken into jail
and hung four negroes, they will not
hear the last of it nor cease to hear
lies about it till the next Presidential
election is over.
The weakness and the woes ot
Ireland and her utter inability to ob
tain a fair hearing from her English
rulers are directly traceable to the
fireside war of rar.- and religion that
has been kept up for centuries re
tween her Orangemen and the rest
of her population. We have seen
outbreaks of this war in our cities,
where there is no occasion or excuse
for it, and only the other day the
Yazoo City tragedy was eclipsed by
an Irish battle at Harbor Grace, in
the British-American provinces, in
which ten men lost their lives. An
eternal race teud at the South like
this is what the Republican party re
lies on for its salvation and tor the
perpetuation of its power, and every
Southern man or community that,
under any provocation, engages in
or permits an affair like that Yazoo
ly nching is aiding the political ene
mies of the South, multiplying the
seeds of future trouble in her soil and
lending strength to a bad element in
the politics of the whole country.

Tho Yazoo Tragedy.
Post Dispatcn.
Negroes have but recently been
executed by mobs in Lawrence,
Kansas, famous tor its bigoted ad
herence to the Republican party.
The pride of that community was its
record for freedom-shrieking and its
s'man and brother" theories. The
negroes were few and the whites
many there. No struggle for politi
cal ascendency had embitered ieuds
liable to produce collisions between
the races. Yet within a year ne
groes have been hung by mobs there
as in other Republican communities,
and while nobody was punished for
it the negroes were not strong enough
t avenge it, or even to make a fuss
about it. And no Republican or
gans made a fus about it tor them,
because such outbreaks in Mich a lo
cality cannot be twisted into a shape
that will fire the heart ot the North
against the South, ot revive the lan
guishing fierceness of party passion.
But it is time that Southern com
munities had learned that a different
rule applies to them. The massa
cre ot three white men and the fatal
Wounding of one or two more in
Yazoo City on Christmas eve by
what appeared to be a premeditated
attack fron 1 a body ot armed negroes
occupying a butcher shop was imme
diately seized upon as an occasion
for a new bloody shirt howl from the
Republican organs, and the Globe- nt hurt the teeth.
A School Girl as a Bride
From the Newark news
A divorce iust granted by Chan
cellor Runyon has disclosed a very
singular courtship and marriage.
Thirteen years ago the plaintiff in
the suit, Mrs. Emma Chadwick,
was a school girl of 14 years ot age
in this city. She was quite a helle
among her companions and her ad
mirers were numerous. As she
was on her way to school one day
she met William II. Chadwick and
he was immediately attracted by her
pretty face ond vivacious manner,
he was a widower ot 26 years and
did not move in the same circle of
society as the family ol the young
girl but he lost no time in being in
troduced to her. lie met her fre
quently and before he had known
her long became greatly enamored
of hei and her affections were ic
turned. The young girl's family
learned of the strange courtship and
immediately took measures to put a
quietous upon it, but their efforts
were of no avail ami they were final
ly compelled to send the girl away.
She did not remain away from
Newark long, however, and when
she returned she again met Chad
wick. On Dec. 2. iSti. thev wen-
married by Rev. Benjamin Weed.
1 he young bride left her home and
and friends and went to live with
her husband. The honeymoon and
married life lasted but three weeks
Then Chadwick suddenly left for
parts unknown. The young girl,
almost heartbroken, eturr.ed to her
friend.
