Thk good old times are hound to

A bh; strike generally weighs a
labor boss and finds him wanting
That of 1 S!M has been a notable ex
ample.
.tiKAM Chief High Muck-Amuck
IMis gives it out that the strike
not over, but there seetna to le
prevailing sentiment that it is.
A man can't stand idly by and
see hi helpless little ones cry for
bread. Hi-re it is that manhood
draws the line at a principle
involved.
I f might not lie a fool idea for the
President to move the regulars to
Washington and give Congress a
scare. The people, doubtless, would
not object.
I f will doubtless le a gratification
to the members of the A. K. I", to
know that the strike has in no way
interfered with the amateur base ball
!tiiie.-- throughout the country.
(ov. I'KXXOYKi: says: "Cleve
land is another Charles I." Not
much The millions upon millions
of loyal people will see to it that the
1'resident keeps his head. Charles
1. didn't.
Thk fair to be held at Mexico
August 2S to Sept. 1 is a matter in
which every citizen of this county
h. interested. IJegin active prepar
atioiid for it at once and let the at
tendance be large.
Thk strike echoes are gradually
dying away. The thing ha3 collapsed.
The reut public that Debs said was
with him in this agitation is almost
a unit in welcoming its utter failure
and the downfall of its leader.
Dkes leans complacently against
the trunk of the tree, with plenty of
money in his pockets from his daily
salary, and tells his poor dupes with
empty pockets to hold to the limb
like brave men a9 he saws it off.
Lkt common sense prevail. The
strike is over and any effort on the
part of the leaders to prolong
simply restrains a great number of
men from securing situations which
are being rapidly filled by others.
The country has been greatly
crippled by the strike but it will
round to and come again rapidly
and in a short time the people will
forget the trouble ever occurred. A
country like ours can't be kept down
A bi'ildinu boom has struck Van
dalia and many new, substantial
and commodious business houses
and dwellings are in the course of
construction. The alleged hard times
don't seem to bother Yandalia. It
is the liest little town in this section.
The U lobe-Democrat prints an
elaborate editorial on the "Power of
a Word." The word it alludes to
is "cau." it is true that many
feel that it is belter to let their fami
lies suffer for necessities of life rather
than have that word with one syl
lable hurled at them.
When a state like Kentucky gets
hard up, she doesn't go around beg
ging or borrowing, but her State
Treasurer just posts up an announce
ment, "payment has beeu indefi
nitely suspended." The state of
Hreckinridge don't worry over little
things like that. The deficit is only
M27.000.
(j. D. Fkkkis says although he is
going to St. Louis to do business, it
is only temporary and that Mexico
is and alway.'. will be his home. The
money he makes in St. Louis Mexico
will get the benefit of. As a money
maker (i. D. has proven himself a
success. He now has the best thing
of his life.
It is high time everylwdy quit
talking hard times. The strike is
virtually at an end and our troubles
are altout over. It is true that the
country has been sorely tried, but
this everlasting harping over the past
will not better the future. The dawn
of day is upon us; let us take ad
vantage of it. Work and talk less
and surprising results will follow.
In the case of Debs procrastination
was the thief of time. He faltered;
he delayed; he hesitated until he
l ist his prestige. He rallied but
could not regain his footing. The
prison doors closed upon him. He
fetls the unyielding power of the
strong arm of the Government. Debs
is done. His giMtse is cooked. Billy
Sliakspeare doubtless had Kugene
Y.'s case in mind when he said,
"Hopeless and helpless doth ..Egon
wend, but to procrastinate his life
less end."
The St. Louis Chronicle says:
Whenever Champ Clark talks he
says something interesting. He
gave his opinion of the civil service
examination and of his fellow-mem-Iters
Saturday, and it was not com
plimentary. "No ten men in the
House," he said, "could stand the
examination for a $900 clerkship.
Why, they asked one man over there
how many British soldiers were sent
here during the Revolutionary War.
He answered that be didn't know
the exact number, but that a dashed
sight more came over than went
back."
The statement of the receipts and
expenditures of the city of Mexico
as printed in yesterday's Ledgek
shows the healthy condition of the
city from a financial standpoint, not
withstanding the alleged hard times.
The expenditures exhibit a large sum
expended for city improvement, es
pecially tor street work which is bad
ly needed. On July 9 inst. there
was a balance in the treasury of
$2,01-1. 50. The City Council is com.
posed of thorough business men who
guard with an eagle eye the city's
interests, and the able management
of the municipal funds is in a con
siderable measure due Messrs. San
nebeck and Houston, the finance
committee.
Thk hour of peril has passed and
we honor every man who upheld the
r resident in his endeavor to main
tain order. At first it looked like
the battle was between labor and
capital but it turned out to be aeon
flict Itetween Law ami Anarchy, j
Order must reign, but this was noti
the sentiment of the (iovernor of
Illinois who did as much to shake
the foundations of society as the
lawless mobs of Chicago. Altj.e!d
has no admirers among the better
class of people in Illinois, whose
state government he was expected to
uphold but which he conspired to
overthrow.
The St. Louis Republic editorial
ly speaks of our worthy Congress
man as follows: "Champ Clark
continues to represent the stalwart
Democratic sentiment of Missouri
in denouncing the lull to retire
( Joveriinient oilicers on pension. The
State of Missouri has voted down a
proposition to pension firemen. We
must be consistent."
Con niveous l.cntlershiu.
Col. O'lirieli Moore, lhe well
knowti Washington correspondent of
the St. Louis Republic, in a com
munication to this paper says:
The inlluence of leadership cour
ageous leadership on public opin
ion was made very manifest in
Washington during the past lOdays.
During the first four or five days of
this great strike, while law was be
ing violated, life sacrificed and
property destroyed at Chicago and
elsewhere, the nienilicrs of our na
tional legislature gave little heed,
and scarcely one of them would ex
press an opinion on the proceedings.
They did not know which way the
cat was going to jump. They thought
perhaps that the strikers and the
rioters might attain a partial suc
cess. They thought that votes might
be influenced by the result of the
strike, and they feared to say any
thing even in the interest of law and
good government that might affect a
vote. When drover Cleveland put
down his big list, however, thunder
ed forth his proclamation, sent the
army to the scene of the riots, com
manded the lawbreakers to disperse,
and declared his intention to exeri
cise all the force of the Government
to restore law and order, the law
makers at the Capitol begau to see
light.
Then they hegan to denounce the
rioters, to praise the President, to in
sist that the dignity of the ( Jovern
ment and the authority of the law
should be maintained at all hazard
If the President was a timid man, if
ho hesitated as to what his duty
called him to do, it is safe to say that
none of the statesmen at the Capitol
would have as yet found tongue to
express an opinion. The influence
of Cleveland was magical, however,
and his courage seemed to be con
tagious. When he spoke and acted,
sending consternation into the ranks
of the insurgents and rioters, crip
pling the conspiracy to defy law,the
lawmakers suddenly began to pass
resolutions and to denounce lawless,
ness. As one timid steer can stam
pede a herd, ai one old sparrow can
rally a flock, so can one brave leader
steady public opinion and point the
way to right and justice.
BLOWN TO ATOMS.
Party of Miners Literally Annihilated
by the Explosion of Two Hundred
Sticks af Powder.
Hazf.ktox, Pa., July 17. -Two
hundred sticks of giant p-jwder ex
ploded in the mid:-t of a gang of
miner;! at Stockton Collier' No. S
to day, and, in some cases, not
enough of the men's bodies were left
for identification. It is bclived that
at least twelve men were killed.
On account of the distance of the
Stockton colliery from the niain
breiiker ii has been customary to
send I be dynamite and other ex
plosiws in boxes ( No. Sand distri
bute to I he workmen at Hie bottom
of the second shaft, as they appear
in the morning on their way to
work.
It was Cliarfis O'OoiineH's duty
to distribute the dynamite and caps.
The tir:l men to go down into the
shaft tn-dsiy were the drivers, and
these are the only ones to return
alive from the opening.
The drivers went into the stables
to harness their mules, and while
they were thus engaged the explo
sion took place. Charles Shugart
says he saw about a dozen men
standing about O'Donnell, receiving
their powder a moment before the
explosion took place. The drivers
were hurled aliout premiscuously
and the men were paralyzed with
fear. Fearing an explosion of gas
had taken place and that a collapse
of the entire mine was about to fol
low, they waited for death as though
paralyzed.
It was in this position that they
were found by some miners from
No. 2, who hastened through the
subterranean passage. As soon as
the lights were seen the demoralized
drivers hastened to the bottom of
the shaft.
There a terrible sight met their
gaze. Strewn over the twisted and
torn timbers were fragments of hu-
man tiesh and bones and limbs of
the unfortunate miners. The men
were too much affected to attempt
to remove the remains of the dead.
Tlic (.overuiueut at Washington.
Thk people of this country now
have an opportunity to appreciate
some of the advantages of the good
government under which we live.
Referring to this matter the New-
York Sun says :
The Government at Washington
lives, and the people of the United
States are behind it, sixty odd mil
lions of them, Anarchists and fools
not reckoned. The representative
and executive of the Nation's au
thority, majesty, and power is Pres
ident Cleveland. He stands at this
moment for all that loyal Amerieaus
live for, hope for, are. That he
is firm to his obvious duty no man
can now doubt. The Administra
tion is doing its duty with respect
to tho people, and the people must
do their duty with respect to the
Administration. The color of a
citizen's political opinions is of no
more eonseouence at such a time
than the color of his eyes or hair.
As a citizen, as an American, he
owes first of all his unqualified, un
questioning, unlimited support to
the chosen man who took into his
hands on March J, TSui, the re
sponsibility for the administration
of the Nation's laws, and swore then
to turn the Government over to hi
successor as lie found it.
Whatever may be the immediate
turn of events, President Cleveland
and bis Cabinet advisers 'confront a
crisis in the Nation's history. How
or why that crisis has arisen is not
the question. How it shall be met
is the matter that concerns the sixty
odd millions behind the President
and the Government at Washington
In half a dozen States of the I'nion
to-day men occupy the Governor's
chair who are no more lit to be there
than Debs or Johann Most. The
United States Constitution guar
antees to the citizens of every State
the privileges ami immunities of fit
izens in the several States. It guar
antees to every State a republican
form of Government. One of the
privileges of American citizenship
is to live under law, not Anarchy
One of the immunities of American
citizenship is immunity from lawless
violence. A republican form of Gov
eminent in any State is not Govern
ment administered by a coward, an
Anarchist, or a Governor in sympa
thy with Anarchy and its objects
Questions of jurisdiction and verbal
conflicts of Federal with State an
thonty are bound to arise in any
great public emergency involving
the exercise of both Federal am'.
State authority. They are techni
cally interesting, as they were in the
early months of 1SC1.
There is ample power in the Gov
eminent at Washington, under ttie
Constitution and laws of the United
States, to preserve the institutions
of this country against mob, insur
rection, or rebellion. The power is
not that of any one man, or of any
sinail council of men; it is in the
might of a great and indestructible
Nation. We believe that it will be
exercised, as it should be exercised
to any extent that may become nec
essary, with humane prudence and
moderation as far as possible, but
in any case with unyielding linn
ness and unremitting vigor. The
President's proclamation is a draft
at sight upon the loyalty and pa
triotic support of every loyal and
patriotic American. In continuin
to perform the perfectly plain duty
now thrust upon him as the Nation
Chief Magistrate, President Cleve
land has something more than the
half acquiescent, half critical coun
lenance wtncli approves tne main
purpose, but watches sharp for
minor breaks and mistakes. He
should have just that sort of suj
port which we all owe to the flag
when it is held up as a signal for
Americans to rally to it.

meriean Railway Union officials
have determined to make a desperate
struggle to regain for that order the
prestige it has lost in the great strike
now rapidly approaching a close.
The Executive Board of the union
held a meeting this moruing.the ob
ject of which was to map out a course
for the future. After a lengthy dis
cussion it was decided to send out
"revivalists" to all important sec
tions of the West. Six agitators hud
been sent out Saturday, and it was
lecided to augment this number.

"We have just finished reading
more than 150 telegrams, "Debs said,
when seen at his desk to-day, "in
not one of which there is one sign of
weakening. The end of this battle
is not yet in sight and 1 do not want
the General Managers to flatter
themselves that it is. I will say,
with the sanction of the directors of
the American Railway Union, that
we will fight it out on the lines we
have formulated, not only if it takes
all summer, but if it requires our
best efforts for the rest of the Nine

the added strength and the money to
carry on our war against capital for

Chicago. III., July 17. Judge
Seaman, in the United States Cir
cuit Court this afternoon, set the
trial of the contempt cases of Debs,
Howard, Keliher and Rogers of the
A. It. U. for next Monday morning
at 10 o'clock. He fixed the addi
tional bail at $3,000 each, and or
dered the four men to lie held in
custody of 'he United States Mar
shal until the sureties had been ap
proved. Attorney Erwin exploded a bomb
by stating that if the defendants were
compelled to give bail on the charge
of contempt they would go to jail,
for the bail already demanded on
the indictments found in the district
had exhausted their ability in that
direction. Unless the court accept
ed their own recognition, it was ;
matter of jail and nothing else.
At 3:15, after a conference with
the attorneys, Debs announced for
himself and the three other defend
ants that they would go to jail and
refuse to give additional bad on the
ground that their bondsmen in the
other cases had been so bitterly at
tacked by the press that they felt a
great deal of hesitancy in asking any
more citizens to go additional bail
for them.

KdiUrial in Mol-riy Demtx-rat.
Man' conflicting stories are to be
heard in regard to the cause of the
trouble and the exact facts in the
matter are difficult to procure, but if
the testimony given before the Cor
oner's jury is to be believed.it looks
rather dark for the defendant; while
on the other hand the conditions
should be well weighed, and if the
defendant's life was about to be tak
en it was a duty that he owed him
self to protect it. The evidence given
before the Coroner's jury does not
show that the defendant's life was in
danger, and the most serious con
elusion that can be drawn from it
would be a few fistic blows; and
considering the time and place the
incident occurred, it is hardly
reasonable to think that lhe de
ceased had any intention of com
mitting murder. Yet on the other
hand it may have appeared to the
defendant that his life was about to
be taken, and if such was the case,
the terrible act of killing would be
self defense; yet self defense cannot
be so construed as to permit a man
that is armed to follow one that is
unarmed nearly across the street
trying to kill him. For when the ac
tive danger to a man's life is over, if
there be any, then all claim to self
defense is at an end.

Chicago, 111., July 10. A caisson
of Battery F, 2d Artillery, U. S. A.,
exploded with terrible force shortly
after 1 o'clock this afternoon at
Grand and Oak wood boulevards.
lwo artillerymen aiiiS one trooper
were instantly killed. Nearly a score
of other persons, troopers resident
in the vicinity and passers-by, were
injured, some of tht-m fatally.
The troops left Brighton Park for
a long march around the city to ex
ercise the horses.
Everything went smoothly and
there were no incidents until the col
umn, marching south on (irand
boulevard, was just crossing Oak
wood boulevard. Then a terrific ex
plosion occurred. The men on the
caisson, supposed to be Donovan
and Doyle, were literally blown to
pieces, and others were thrown
many feet by the violence of the
concussion. Four of the horses
drawing the caisson fell in their
tracks, shot through and. horribly
mangled, while three others were '
blown o0 feet ahead against the trees
on the boulevard, dying instantly, j
The caisson was blown to atoms, not j
a piece larger than a man's hand be
ing found. The boulevard looked
like a battlefield.
There was a quick series of ex
plosions after the first report, and
shrapnel shot rained like hail among
the trees on the boulevard and
pierced the surrounding dwellings.
The concussion broke every window
in the houses for I locks away. The
walls and roofs of the dwellings
showed the terrific effect of the mis
siles. Unexploded shells of the rear
part of the caisson lay strewn over
the ground. With the explosion
came great confusion of the troops,
and for a moment the men and oili
cers seemed powerless to move.
The force of the explosion can be
more readily understood when it is
remembered that the twelve cart
ridges contained 49") pound.- of
powder.

An Old Ei' ml Kflnceii Missouri farm
ers Lends to a Killing.
Columbia, Mo., July 14. A
quarrel of two years standing be
tween Thomas J. Gillespie and
Bernard McXutt, two well known
farmers of Boone cotiniy, resulted
last night in the death of the latter
from a shotgun in the hands of the
former. Gillespie is Q years of age,
and his victim was a young man of
23 years. The killing took place at
the gate leading into the Gillespie
premises, five miles northeast of
here. An altercation took place be
tween the parties an hour before the
tragedy, about a mile from the place
of the killing. They separated, how
ever, without serious difficulty, but j
an hour later, McXutt, armed with a
shot gun, approached the residence
of Gillespie, who was also armed
and standing near the front gate.
What transpired can only be judged
from the statement of Gillespie, who
is the only living witness of the
1 tragedy. He affirms that when he
J saw McXutt approaching on horse
I back he ordered him to hall.andon
j his refusing to obey the command
i fired the futnl shot, only one of
' which took effect, but penetrating
near the heart of the victim, proved
fatal. When McXutt fell from his
horse Gillesnie approached and
shook hands with the dying man,
and at the request of his victim
knelt in the road and offered a prayer
for the parting soul, which pasted
away a few moments after the shot
. was fired. -Gillespie then surrender

Wash txci ton, July Hi. After
passing a bill for the construction of
a bridge across the Mississippi river
at Eagle Point, Dubuque, the bouse
went into committee on the whole
to consider the bill for the creation
I of a retired list for disabled officers
of the revenue marine service.
Mr. Clark, of Missouri, in the
course of his remarks, made a gen
eral assault on the civil service sys
tem, which he declared was the most
monumental fraud of the century.
"Not ten men in this house," he
said, "could stand an examination
for a sfi00 clerkship. Why, they
asked one man over there how many
British soldiers were sent here dur
ing the revolutionary war. The ap
plicant replied that he did not know
the exact number, but he knew a
sight more came over than
went back.
Following is the Coroner's verdict
in the Clark-McCambridge killing at
Moberly Friday :
"We, the jury agree that deceased
came to his death by a pistol shot in
the hands of one Cbas. Clark, and
that same was without juft cause or
