ANGRY AT THE TAR:Fr TINKERS. rrealdent Cleveland Don Not Like the Jncgltns tn the Senate. A Washington dlpatch says: Presi dent Cleveland is anry at tho way in which the tariff bill has been bungled ia the senate and tainted from top to bot tom with suspicions of jobbery and cor ruption. He is particularly ansry with Senator Gorman for having iu his rvcent speech twisted the president's letter of acceptance into an indorsement of the line of poliry argued by Mr. Gorman and his allies in making up their com promise tariff measure. He has ex pressed himself freely to some of his most confidential advisers and an effort ln r made to induce him to come out in a statement of some kind calling a halt in the present course of the sen ate and demanding the passage of a gen uine tariff reform measnre. The president has refused to make any statement for publication, but it is un derstood now that probably within a few days an interview will be given ont from such a source that it will be taken as a statement of the president's senti ments. If it comes at all it will some direct from the White House. If this information is correct, says the correspondent, it may result in Mr. Car lisle leaviug the cabinet, for while there ic no evidence to show that tho secre tary of the treasury has done anything from an improper motive, he has been connected with the preparation of the Gorman compromise from its earliest moments.

The taw Celled io Several States try Striking Miners. In Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and Colorado the authorities have been defied and property destroyed by etriking miners. The situation in Colorado is most criti cal. The miners in tho Cripple Creek region struck for higher wages and pre vented non-nuion irfen from taking their places. They then began destroying the mills and mines of the employers who refused their demands. Governor Waite was tppealrf to, but he refused to call out the militia to quell the rioters. He threatened, however, to eend the state troops to Cripple Creek and arrest the deputies who were guard ing the mines, and he did issue a procla mation commanding the deputies to lay down .their arms and disband. This ac- tion encouraged the strikers and they immediately prepared for war upon the deputies. Getting no protection from the state, the mine owners appealed to the federal government. ' Protection, from this source, was refused, the courts deciding that the United States could not interfere. The operators then hired several hundred men and sent them to the mines and tley were sworn in as deputy sheriffs. In the meanwhile the strikers had been reenforoed until they numbered thousands, all .thcrougklv armed and equipped for war, and they took posses sion of the section. Fortifications wera built and dynamite plsr.ted on the trails leading to the camp. So STEteniatically was the work done that the stikers po sition is practically impregnable. Dyn amite has been placed in all the mines and the threat is made that at the first move the properties will all be blown np. The strikers are being drilled in war tactics by a West Point graduate. A bloody battle will result if the dep uties attempt to get to the mines. In the other states the troops were sent to the scenes of trouble as soon as the local authorities were unable to pre serve peace and the strikers are held in check by the militiamen. Fully 90 per cent of the strikers in all the riots are foreigners who were imported by tha mine owners. EX-SPEAKER REED ESPOUSES SILVER. The Republican leader Creates sa In ternational Sensation. The London Fortnightly publishes an. interview with -Speaker Reed on sil ver which has made a sensation on both tides of the ocean. The great represea tave leader sounds a keynote for future, campaigns by declaring that silver and the tariff must now be regarded "not sa two ismes. but sa one," and says that the depreciation of silver is vastly in cresiing the export business o silver nations, representing 700.00rt.ijci parv ple. In the interview Mr. Reed says: "Ton in England want ns to lower duties. What will yon give ns in ex change? Will yoa open yonr mints to silver by agreement? One thing & less you may rely on yon will not find tha Republican party offering the other cheek, as these Democratic gentlemen, do. For years pat they have been pos ing as friends of silver, and because yon people of England close the Indian mints and put a duty en silver bullion, those friends of free silver are now pre paring to reward your generosity ty lcwering drttios ail axsucd. -One thing at least I" have learceA since the cessation of silver purchases feet veer that cbf sp silver is an effect ive sriniuha io Asiatic exports, and, tr. heing the esse, we hare got to consider silver and the tariff cot as two issues, but as one. It is evidently no time to lower oar tan 2 when the currency of TOO.OOO.OOO Orientals is depreciating'and tne exporting powers of those nations is thereby increasing. The decrease in the gold vaiae of silver has not affected its value to pay wages and its vslne to buy provisions iu India.' - That is whsS makes the silver question an issue tiias we are forced to face. "Yon recognize of course that the po sition hss entirely char.ged in the past six months. The previous enormous compulsory monthly purchases of silver, a most vicious proceeding, went fax to confase men's minds and to disgcis the fact that we hsv; a serious currency problem to lie solved. It ii evidently important for debtor nations, on which list we stand first, to raiie the price cf silver and thereby reduce that bounty on exports which Asia now enjoys. This can best be cone by an agreement with other nations favorable to silver, aI by such a scale of high tariffs cainst those nations which reject such, a monetary agreement as will insure ns a favorable b.tlanc of trade. In short, a higher price for silver, by reducing Asiatic exports to Europe, will increase ours; add to this a high tariff and we can keep our gold at home, or at least if sold it will quickly come back again.
