Mount Plkasant, Pa., April 3. Juiet
reigns throughout the coke region this
morning. No' outbretik has occurred
since the fatal mid yesterday morning
and while the situation is still grave the
presence of the militia has had a reassur
ing effect upon the people. Two regi
ments are now upon the ground fully
equipped and prepared for action. The
Eighteenth regiment, with over 500
men, reached here shortly after midnight,
and the Tenth regiment, with nearly as
many men, arrived a little later. Adjutant
General McClelland and Brigadier Gen
eral Wiley are in command and- will re
main as long as there is any danger of
another raid.
The uncertainty nnd fear of last night
have proven an nwiul strain on both
strikers and citizens. No sleeping wus
done in the entire region, but crowds
paraded the streets or gathered in knots
at the corners or disappeared in bunches
over the hills, leaving doubts as to their
destination and intentions. The foreign
ers were quiet, but always in crowds,
nnd the momentary fear of an outbreak
Irotii thcthousands, whichthe entire regi
nicntcould not quell, was only dissipated
by the first streaks of early dawn.
So far ten deaths have occurred nnd
several more are in a critical condition.
The funerals of the victims will tnkc
place Saturday. I'eter Wiser, master

Savannah, April 3. Thomas Gadsden,

of this city, committed suicide this
morning by blowing his brains out with
a revolver at the grave of his daughter
in Laurel Grove cemetery. Gadsden was
a prominent man in Savannah and had
been connected with the bank for ninny
years and was interested in various
business enterprises. He was vestry
man in St. John's Epi" pal church.
He left his residence eai v this morninc
and told the servants he was going for a

and to the grave of his dnughtet, who
died two years ago. Placing a revolver
to his temple he tired nnd fell across the

working in the ccmeterv. and shortly
after the body was found.

adds that it would have been absurd to

Stand On.
Nkw York, April 3. The following is
the text of a letter from Governor Hill
read at the meeting of the Manhattan
single tax club held in Cooper Union last
night. It was addressed to Lewis F.
Post from Albany:
"I am in receipt of your letter of
March 28 inviting me to attend the
free trade mass meeting, to be held
at Cooper Union Thursday evening
While thanking you for your cour
tesy, I cannot attend the meeting
because I have no sympathy with its pro
posed purpose. I am not an advocate of
frecjtrade and never hate been. I stand
with the democratic party in favor of
tariff reform, which means reduction of
the present excessive and iniquitous tar
iff and the retention of a tariff limited to
the necessities of the government eco
nomically administered.
"I am earnestly opposed tothe attempt
which is now being made in some quar
ters to undermine the sound and conserv
ative position of the democratic party
upon this question, to commit it irrevoc
ably to the doctrine of free trade. The
men who are engaged in this effort, no
matter how honest or sincere they may
he in their individual convictions, have
no right to longer masquerade as true
democrats, while seeking to commit the
party to a policy which it has always
distinctly repudiated.
"They greatly mistake public sentiment
who assume to construe the revolution
of last autumn at the polls as a popular
manifestation in favor of radical tariff
legislation. It was, so far as the tariff
was an issue, a popular outburst against
excessive duties, against restricted mark
ets, against war taxation for the benefit
of the favored industries, but only blind
theorists could see in it any indication
that the people are impatient of all
tariffs and desire a resort to direct taxa
tion to secure thc necessary revenues for
the support of the government.

Upon the value of credit in business
methods there is no need to descant.
Where it has a solid foundation to
ability and integrity it facilitates the ex
change and the distribution of commodi
ties better than money dots, and it
enables money to be disiiensed with al
most entirely. Hut, on the other hand,
this very quality of being a substitute
for money renders credit, like all other
good things, liable to abuse. So little
can be done without it, and so much
with it, that the temptation to strain it
beyond safe limits becomes every once in
a while irresistible.
Take, for example, the case of the Bar
ings. 1 be figures show that with a capi
tal of its own of not more than $20,000,.
000 the firm had contracted for securi
ties and assumed obligations of the nom
mal value of $120,000,000. By a long
course of honorable dealings and success
ful transactions it bar) built ud a credit
with the public which stood to it iu the
place of $100,000,000 in cash. More
than this: it had acquired such a reputa
tion for sagacity and sound judgment
tnat any investment which it recom
mended was accepted bv the public with
out hesitation. 1 hese two things good
credit and good custom lured it on to
its ruin. It could borrow so easily that
it borrowed recklessly and invested reck
lessly, and it could sell securities so fast
that it became careless of their intrinsic
merits.

senatorial Funerals).
I From the New York World.
All Washington is still talking of the
i funeral of Senator Hearst. It was only
the decided objections of Mrs. Hearst
that presented the snd journey from
being turned into a sensutionnl junket
party.
A congressional funeral is often as
much a picnic to the mourners as a fun
eral march, nnd it is a question as to
whether the custom should not be done
away with. It is inmanvcascs notatall
popular with the family of thedeceased.
The cost of congressional funerals comes
up for discussion here every time a long
trip is taken, and items are fought over
in the committees of congress. It costs
about $10,000, more or less, for a sena
torial burial, and when Senator Miller,
of California, died, it cost just $7,378 to
carry him to California, to say nothing
of other expenses not down on thc bill.

DIDN'T KNOW WASHINGTON.
Boston art hns reached a stage where
it decides that what it long supposed to
be a bust of Samuel Adums is reallv a
bust of George Washington. This is
certainly a great advance in knowledge,
but what use has Boston for a bust that
is not related to some branch of the
Adams family? St. Louis Republican.
If Boston makes many more mistakes
similar to that of worshipping a statue of
George Washington as one ol sumucl
Adams, she will hnve to retire from her
position as the center ot American cul
ture. Such dense ignorance would be in
excusable even in a Colorado mining
camp. Kansas City Times.
Boston is all torn np. It has just dis
covered that a marble bust which for
many year has adorned the state house,
labeled "aamuel Adams," was really a
bust of George Washington. Where are
the critics of the Hub? And where, oh!
where are Cabot Lodge and Grandpa
Hoar r Cincinnati Enquirer.
Por many 'generations the Bostonese
have been worshipping an image . of

From thc Winston Sentinel.
Winston has never had anything but a
moon schedule. The clouds may be as
thick as those that ovcrshndo wed Egypt,
and the rain may be pouring down in
torrents, but if Blum's almanac says the
moon is up, that settles it. The people
of our twin-towns may run up against
brick walls in the night time, fall in mud
holes, or suffer any inconvenience, but it
does not matter; we are runninif on a
moon schedule, and it is only four thous
and dollars a, year we are paying for it.
