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.
Another correspondent says that Oir
lisle and Cleveland are in perfect accord
on the tariff qnestion.

ANARCHY RAMPANT.
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.
