TOPEKA, Aug. :3. ~Telegrams received here today show that the threats made by President Walte1s of the Coal Miners’ union to prevent miners going to work at Frontenac in the Atchlson, Tepeka and Santa Fe Railroad company’ s mines were but idle. At a meeting held in Frontenac Sdnday he said that the strikers should not carry out the contract made with the company until it had been sanctioned by the union. lIe declared then that he would bring 2,000 armed men to Frontenac to drive all persons from the mines. The first company of the 2,000 rden, 50 in number, arrived at Frontenac last night and went into camp near the mines.- At 8 o’clock this morning 300 more of Walters’ men arrived from \Veir City and Pitts- burg and went into camp. The manager of the mine called on the sheriff of Craw- ford county, who deputized as many mer- chants nnd professional men as he could find before daybreak this morning and started for the scene of the threatened bats tle. Guns were telegraphed for to all of the neighboring towns by Manager \Vilson, who is in charge of the Santa Fe mines, and every possible preparation was made to protect miners who desired to resume Work. The sheriff is handicapped in get« ting men sufficient to cope with Walters’ crowd, and if the threatened clash should come he will be compelled to ask the gov. ernor for the militia. Thirty men went to work at the mines at 6 o’clock this morning, but the pres- ence of Walters and his crowd intimidated alarge majority of those who signed the agreement. Two hundred were ready to go into the pits this morning, but they, were prevented from doing so by Walters ' and his mob.‘ The company will resist - with all the force that it is able to muster any attempt on the part of the strikers to move upon the company’s property, and unless Walters backs down from his pres- ent warlike attitude bloodshed will cer- tainly result. . .

It was no very exacting’ambition that Robert Young’s motherihad cherished She lived very quietly on7 -‘ all her life. the western prairie farm 'to which She: and .her husband had gone together‘ when they were both yOung. She did not expect to be rich or even think about ’ it. She was'content with the homely round of her daily life. Sometimes her husband used to say that if they had only happened togp here or there, When) some of the friends of his youth had found copper or silver, or struck oil, they ' also might have been worth millions, but the wife always answered: “It wa’n't to - be, John; it we. ’n’t to be. And we've done pretty well, as things go, but I should’ a’ like one good black silk dress.” This was the only wish that Robert Young :had ever heard his mother ex- press, and he used to say to himself when he was a boy:. “Bless the dear mother! She shall have itthe very first money I earn.” Robert’s father, too, planned in his own mind the same thing, but one year the harvest turned out badly, and an- other the children had diphtheria, and so it was that the good black silk had never been bought. ' It was a strange thing that the son of John and achel Young should have been an ar’ ist. But Rebert began to draw before he could write, and at last he got held of a box of colors through the kindness of one of his Sunday school teachers, and then he made pictures that dazzled the'eyes of his prairie neighbors. As he grew older he got orders for portraits from proud parents who were Willing to give $5 for a daughter’ S or a son' S likeness, and he saved these small . sums until by the time he was 18 he had enough money to take him to Boston, where he hoped to find a good teacher and to’ do something really worth while. His struggle in the city .was hard enough to begin'with. Every snowstorm was a friend to him, for wherever he shoveled ofi steps and sidewalk they were sure to want him again, he did his work so cheerfully and so well. He paid for his lessons by taking care of the studio of the artist under whbm he studied. He was ready to do any honest thing to earn an honest penny, and at last, even in Boston, people found out that he had a special talent of his own and began to buyhis pictures. — There were so many things at first to do with the money that he earned! He must have a, little studio of. his own where people could come, and it would not answer for the artist who had his own studio to live like the youth who used to shovel oil sidewalks. He did not forget the good black silk dress or the mother who was to wear it; he only waited. . At last came a spring when he had been fairly prosperous, and he planned to go home for his mother’ s birthday 1n August and to carry the dress with him, but just then he received an invitation that flattered him. His former teacher was going to Ipswich for a summer of sketching and asked Robert . to go with It seemed an opportunity too good to be lost. So he went to Ipswich, and the summer flew by as if on wings, and Rob- ert did not go heme in August; he only wrote a letter. It was October before he started for the faroif prairie farm. Once on his way, he hurried forward by night and day until he reached the little station that was nearest to his home. He had written when he should arrive, but he did not see his father waiting for him as He felt a momentary sense of injury, but just then an old neighbor came up. “I s ’pose you might as well ride home ’long with me,” he usaid. “I told’ em I’d fetch ye, as long as yer-1a couldn’t. ” “Couldn’t! \Vhy .11 “Waal, I sort or hate to tell ye', but yer mother, she had a shock or palsy yesterday, and yer father don’t like ter leave her jest yit.” ‘ _ There was a strange choking in Robert Young’s throat. The good black silk dress was in. his valise, but he had brought it too late.—Youth’s Companion. New Yorkf’Democrats.

It was re- ferred to the- finance committee, as was also a bill introduced by Mr. Peder (Pop, Kan.) for the reduction of the salaries of all government officers from $1, 000 upward ~ by 15 and 20 per cent. Mr. Voorhees (Dem., Ind. ), chairman of the. finance committee, then addressed the senate in advocacyof the bill reported by him- last Friday discontinuing the pur- chase of silver bullion. The speech was a long one, consisting of over 15,000 words, and was listened to with marked attention. Voorhees’ Speech. , Senator Voorhees. said that, while the calm, unbiased publ1c Opinion of a great majority of the American people, _ irre- spective of parties, had justified the action of the president in convening the extra mssion, the causes for the action were widely and dangerously misunderstood and by certain classes purposely misrepre- sented. Therefore be deemed fitting a few words in explanation, spoken in no spirit of strife or controversy .. For five months had gone up the voice Of the prophet of financial evil; from the great money centers had emanated cruel edicts contracting the currency‘and result- ing in panic. No one believed there was want of con fidence in the government cred- it or in the stability of its currency, not- .rwithstauding the empty treasury left by the last administration and the record of a billion dollar congress. The American credit was better today than that of any other country 011 the globe, and even cow- ardly capital seized upon our bonds with swift greed. , . Government Bonds. ; Investors of capital complained that the administration had refused to issu'e at least [$300, 000, 000 more bonds. This addi- tional indebtedness increasing the burdens of American labor would be hailed with the keenest delight and swept with avidity. into unpatriotic vaults by the very. parties-_ who most leudly declaimed against the government credit. There were many reasons why Our credit should be stronger now than ever before. It rested on the absolute unity of purpose of the American people that it should be upheld. No one but a political madman could deem a political contest in this country over an impossible outline of See- tional animosity. The public credit of ev- ery European government was unceasing- 1y threatened by Shadows of coming wars. " Financial resources. there were constantly weakened by vast standing armies and permanent navies, but throughout the wide earth there was none to molest us or make us afraid of were or rumors Of war. Alone, as it were, the colossus of the western hemisphere, and towering up in isolated power and glory, our limit-less ma- terial resources are sometimes Overlooked in summarizing the elements of our finan- cial strength, the interstate commerce of the United States alone exceeding‘ 1n value the entire foreign commerce and carrying trade of Great Britain, Germany, France. Austria, Holland, Rilssia and Belgium put- together. Development of internal re- sources, of 11 ealth on farm, 111‘ factory, on the rivers, 011 the- Ocean borders, in the mountains and on tile inland seas, dwarfed into insignificance the achievements of any ' other age, race or nation. Our Foreign Trade. Legislation had checked our foreign trade, and we had not today a commercial friend in the world. For every law that we enacted denying to foreign productions a place' 1n our market and declining com- mercial friendships, we might be certain of an injurious blow' 1n return from every trading people 1n the world. He bad faith that the giant evil which crippled this commerce Would be removed with other evils which challenged attention and ac- tion, and if the-true greatness of the coun- try was studied it would be seen that finan- cial panics and alarms could have no foundation hero. Senator Vo‘Orhees then took up the Sher- man law, which be characterized as the greatest evil which over hotel] bimetallism on the honor and existence of silver ' money, and traced its birth, history and consequences down to the present day, and made an eloquent plea for its repeal, in the course of which he avowed his unshaken faith that silver would remain forever one of the world’s great and potential factors of finance, commerce, trafiic and daily busi- ness transactions. It would neither be de- monetized nor driven away from the hab- itations of the laboring masses of man- kind. State Bank Money. Senator Voorhees made an elaborate argument in favo’r of sound state bank money and said it should be the plain duty of the federal government to issue its own unassailable notes by retiring much of its present outstanding currency-and also by the payment of its debts, and to issue them in amounts equal to the- require- .ments of trade as nearly ascertained as possible. hearing within the breath of nap tional life, honored _in every village and hamlet in the American Union, uniform in value from Maine to Alaska, and their faces as well known as the flag wherever flies that, emblem of the pewer and the glory of a united and fraternal peeple. Those who lived to witness the adoption of this policy would, Mr. , Voorhees thought, look upon the safest, strbugest and most beneficial system of finance ever ' before known in American history. It had In it the elements with which to accom- plish these paramount and indispensable features of all sound financial legislation. His Financial Policy. First-A sufiicient volume of currency at'all times—state and national—on practically a spe- cie basis, guaranteed also by public honor, with which to trausaot the growing and expanding business developments of the country. - Second—The absolute denial and destruction ~ of all power in the hands of individuals, cor- porations or syndicates to cause fluctuations in amount of the diflerent currencies in circular tion, thus rendering panics and business dis- tress impossible fer the future. Third—Every 1101111- 111 mm... whether ‘ totes notes.‘ gn- a strict parity and interchange: . tion of silver money at once and forever by au- I'Ieg'al tender money. thus making the use of commonwealth and of every neighborhood, . and be followed. as soon as much neededre- ‘IOrms canbe accomplished, by the unbrOkeu the committee on banking and currency, - There was no objection, and the joint reso- Ida silver. state 1.1.1.11- paper utillniteo able With eve gather d’Ollar. thus securing to forming all the functions of money at home and abroad. Fourth—The settlement of the vexed ques- thorizing it to form its pertion Of the specie basis required by the constitution for every chartered bank in the Union; by recognizing it when defining the powers Of the states to make silver coined into money as imperative as it will be useful to the great body 0 1‘1:- people. ‘ the dangerou centralization of the money pews or our existing at a few money c enters and in the hands of a few individuals by. gi- ‘.ng to the people of the states the right of he. no rule on a subject of'money and thereby securing to them a reliable nonfiu'ctuating home circulation. ’ ' A Graded Income Tax. To these five propositions Mr. Voorhees. added but one more—a carefully adjusted and graded income tax—a most‘equitable and upright measure in providing govern- ment revenue and demanded by old fash‘ ioned eternal justice. In conclusion Mr. Voorhees said: And now. in the meantime and in view of the present crisis, full Of peril as it is. let the whole people of the United States. of every cast out their fears and abide in an unshaken faith that the present disasters will pass away sunlight of prosperity, and that he who deter- mines the destiny of nations will cause the re- public of their fathers to win and not to lose in the transcendant mission to which it was dedicated a hundred years ago. . Senator Voorhees’ speech was listened to with the greatest interest and attention. Nearly every senator was in his seat, many ‘ members of the house occupied» the sofas in the rear, and the galleries contained the largest crowd of the session. .The presiding oflICer was obliged to threatento clear the galleries in c- (121- to repress the applause called forth 1;; Mr. VOorhees’ affirmation of allegiance to Cleveland and other strong points. In the House. ' The speaker laid before the house a com- munication from the secretary of treasury in response to the resolution of the house asking for information relative to the pur- chase and coinage of silver-under the Sher~ man act. Ordered printed. On motion of Mr. Loud (Cal) senate bill was passed admitting free of duty all arti- cles intended for exhibition at the Califor- nia Midwinter International exposition. mOus consent for the introduction of his bill to permit the exchange of United States bonds for treasury notes. There was no objection, and the bill was referred to with leave to report at any time after the special order. - Mr. McRae (Dem, Ark.) asked” unani- mous consent for the passage of a joint resolution extending to the Cherokee out- let the provisions of the act providing for town site entries of land in Oklahoma. lution was passed. The silver debate was then resumed, and Mr. Brickner (Dem., Wis.) addressed the house in favor of the repeal .of the pur- chasing clause. Mr. Mallory (Dem., Fla.) made a speech in opposition tothe unconditional repeal of the purchasing clause of‘ the Sherman law. He did not believe that this repeal would restore confidence or remedy the evils which now existed. Mr. Hopkins (Rep. ., Ills.) charged the Democrats with partisanship in mapping out the plan of procedure for the consider- ation of this. great question, and then pro- ceeded to speak in favor of the Wilson bill. Mr. Lane (Dem., Ills.) was in favor of free silver and denied that the silver dole. lar was a false dollar. . At no place inthis country was it worth less than 100 cents. ’ Mr. Newlands (Pop. ., Nev. ) made a vig— orous speech in fever _of the free coinage of silver.
