If ho is lucky enough to have his wages remain at an onlinary Ft.imlanl that is said to he duo to the tariff. When his wages are re duced the tariff is said to have nothing to do with it. Somelwidy ought really to explain to workinginen what is the thing Kcpulilicans jx-rsist in calling the workingmen's tariff and, if there is such a thing. why it does not protect work ingnien. rREsiPKXT Hakkison wants a national chaitnian, his man, Mr. Oampliell, of Chicago, having declined to serve. If we would Ik' allowed to suggest a man, we would hand in the name of Sheriff McCleary. of Pittsburg. No one will question McCleary's Republicanism and as he apjieared to lo willing to serve the monopolists and the laboring men both during the late labor troubles, his selec tion as chairman of the Republican na tional committee would le a fitting tribute to the Republican party's claim of protection to labor. The people of the west, says the Pes Moines, Iowa, I.nnn-, are not financially prosperous, and they never will or can prosper financially until they are released from the burden of paying tribute to the monopolies of the east. Under Repub lican policies the people of the west are forced to pay a considerable portion of their earnings to the sheep-raisers of Ohio, the lumher.eyndieatesof Michigan, the Cordage trust of New York, and hundreds of other pet industries for which the Republican party entertains a surprisingly tender feeling. The Carnegie Steel Works enjoy pro tection to the amount of from 50 to 75 per cent. They refuse to share thislounty cquit tably with their workmen. Their poli tical agents in the last Congress rejected an amendment offered by the Democrats making all increase of duty contingent upon a corresponding increase of wages. As the monopolists will not share their bounty either cumpulsorily or voluntarily with their workmen, for whose benefit at is claimed that high tariffs exist, why not repeal or reduce the duty? A bill to this effect passed by the Jlouse would l a heartful admonition. Governor Fattison has acted through out the Ilomestvad trouble with wise prudonce. He has refused all hasty ap peals to the military force of the Com monwealth until satisfied that the civil power was exhausted or hopelessly in efficient. He could not have foreseen or arerted the murderous outbreak at Homestead and since then he has firmly waited for the sheriff to make a serious attempt to exert his authority. The civil power being found inadequate, the call for assistance is acted upon with promptness and decision. There can le no mistaking what this action means. It means that order is to le preserved and the reign of law enforced with a fower that will admit of no opposition. The national convention of the Peo ple's party met at Omaha. Neb., on July 4th, and nominated James B. Weaver, f Iowa, for President, and General James G. Field, of Virginia, for Vice-Fresident. Their candidate for Vice-Presiilent is a reliel brigadier and lost a leg in the battle of Slaughters Mountain. Commenting on the plat form adoptee! by the party the Philadel phia Hrrald says: There is much in the platform of the People's party that is wild and visionary, and the whole movement has the flavor of the wooly West. The financial scheme it embraces, if carried out, would l sure to le productive of financial disaster. Its sub-treasury idea, its plan of making moncv plentv and cheap, and its paternal intention of having the government do much of the business which is now done bv private enterprise, are the products of minds that entertain the crudest no tions of governmental, financial and economic affairs. If these schemes were put in practice no people would suffer more from them than those who are holding national conventions, nomi nating presidential tickets and raising a great clamor for their adoption. Os the '2Vth of June the Carnegie Iron and Steel Company of Homestead, in stead of waiting until the following day when it was expected their employes would strike, shut down their mill. The company had refuse.! to sign the scale for wages proposed by the Amalga mated Association, an association of iron workers to which nearly all their employes belonged ami as a consequence there was precipitated a conflict between capital and laUir. Up until Tuesday of last week everything wasquietbut every one knew that it was but a calm that precedes a storm. The oerators were determined to oerate the mill with other employes and the workmen of Home stead apiearcd as equally determined that no imported laliorers should go to work. The sheriff of Allegheny county had been called to the scene in the hope that as peace otlicer of the county his presence would prevent any unlawful act on the part of the men and avert violence and bloodshed. Rut by his vacillating course, trying to play double and be on good terms with both the managers and men, he had the confidence of neither and in fact was a party to the act that precipitated a conflict. On Tuesday night of last week two loats loaded with about three hundred I'inkeiton detectives, left their place of rendevous Itelow Pitteburtj, in charge of Deputy Sheriff Gray, and were towed by a small steamer to Homestead. There on Wednesday morning they attempted to land to take possession of the mills, but their coming had been announced by a telegram from Pittsburg, and they were met at the landing by alut otHH) workmen. A fierce battle at once en sued and was kept up all day until even ing when the Piukertou men surrendered and were immediately taken prisoners. They were stripped of their arms and marched through the town to a hall where they weie kept until arrange ments were make to take them nut of town. After their surrender they were fearfully abused being kicked and scuffed from oue end of their march to the other. Ten men were killed, three Homestead men and seven Pinkertons in the fight and it is said about sixty are wounded, some of whom will die. The sheriff of Allegheny county made efforts repeatedly to secure a posse to pro tect the property and preserve order, but he could not do so, whereupon the sheriff telegraphed Governor Fattison for state troops. The governor was slow to act in this matters, claiming that the sheriff must first exhaust his power be fore state intcrventieyi. Late on Monday night the entire Na tional Guard of Pennsylvania, alout S,000 men, was ordered to Homestead, arriving their on Tuesday morning, and took charge of the works. There was not the slighest manifestation of ho.-ili-ty toward the milita on their entrance to the town. It is the intention of the Carnegie Company to start their mill while the milita is on guard At the present writing everything is quiet. Thk usual crowd of amateur politi cians arrived here on Monday for the purpose of holding the Republican coun ty convention. Upon their arrival, the delegates were taken in charge by the same parties that have been bossing the. Republican party in this county for s-ome years, and we presume received their instructions. The convention was called to order at 1:40 by Chairman Stineman and after reading the call, appointmg secretaries and examining "credentials" some of daisies no doubt selected William Jl. Ramsey, lately defeated for county treasurer, for president of the conven tion. The circus commenced by Captain Thomas Davis, who has leen "out of politics for the Ia?t five years," and. in fact, always "out," offering a resolution that the congressional conferees be un- instructed. The resolution passed, and D. G. Myers, J. G. Lloyd and Timothy R. Davis were elected congressional dele gates. The president next announced that nominations were in order for Register and Recorder. This raised a rumpus among some of the delegates, but the convention !eing assured by Bob Lloyd that everything was all right, promptly sat down on the kickers and the fun proceeded. The names of Samuel W. Davis of Eliensburg, and E. O. Fisher of Johnstown, were presented. Fisher, of course, wasn't in it, and Sanvucl Davis was nominated on the first ballot by a vote of S7.J to 47 J. The nominations for Assembly were next in order and the names of John C. Gates, S. D. Patterson, J. C. Stineman, Win. F. Davis and R. J. Youthers were then presented to the convention. The first ballot resulted in the nomina tion of but one candidate, Mr. Stineman, by a vote of 110. Something evidently got wrong here a wire broke, perhaps as the delegates seemed to be running things to suit themselves and it required five ballots to nominate John C. Gates. The nomination for Frothonotary was given to A. A. Stutman, of Johnstown, that of District Attorney to R. S. Mur phy, of Johnstown, and that of Foor House Director to George W. Engle baugh, of Johnstown. Nobody else seemed to want these nominations, and they were of necessity made "unani mously." The convention evidently cared little for the Harrison administration, and no resolutions of indorsement were of fered or passed. The cold water party nominated their national ticket at Cincinnati on Friday, July 1st, their nominee for President le ing General John Bidwell, of California, and Dr. J. B. Cranfill, of Texas, for Vice-President. The congressional committee that in vestigated the pension bureauhas recom mended the removal of Pcnsiom Coni-miss?ont-r Rauni. Washington Letter. Washington-, I. C. July ','th, l'.t2. The mur.ler ot Carnegie's leked-out workmen by Pinkerton's mercenaries sent a shudder around the civilized world, and fumi.-hed the voters of tbe United States with an object lesson not soon to be forgotten, showing just what sort of "protection" Republican legisla tion gives to the wage-earner. Jerry Simpson aptly said of it: "I hope that the people will now le arouse.nl to the fact that protection only protects the cap italist, who, in this case, builds himself a cuistle in Scotland where lie may enjoy his spoils in peace." Representative Tarseney, chairman of the House cem mittee on laUir, said: "Every one must condemn the employment of men-enarie'S without the authority ef law. to kill pee ple. Their prcsenere? is a menace to peace, and their ought to lie something done to put a stop to such business." Even Republicans are found who con demn this crime, although it is erne ef the direct outcomes of their party's policy. One? of these is Representative Lind, of Minnesota, who said: "This employment of arm-l men he-naries can not be justifieel and ought not to be jkt initted." Representative Caminetti has intro duceil a reselution pretvieling for a selen-t committee to investigate this Carnegie business, in order to ascertain why an industry pretee teel to such an extent as that of steel and iron should attempt to renluce its lalnirers' wages fremt '20 U '.0 IK-rcent. and why this trust er combine should !e allowenl to introduce a comli tion of feudal ile-sjMitism by hiring armed men to force its employes to accept the redue-eel wages, and a similar resolution is before the Senate. The resolutions are timely, am! unless there is a gre-at change in the prewnt se ntiments of me mlers if Congress, a stremg one will I? aelopted. Many lelieve that the re eluelion of wage's wa. orde-red by Car negie in the Iiojk- of staving off ai tion on the tending bill, reducing the tariff on the entire metal schedule. The Republicans are in a very eie moralized condition, owing to the resig nation of Mr. CampU'Il as chairman ef tbeir national cominittet, whether that resignation was brought alxmt by the publication by ex-Senator Farwell of the statement that Mr. Harrison had once refuseil to apjxint Mr. Canqiell to a Feeleral otlice liecause of his lieing a professional lobbyist, by objections of tbe trusts for which Mr. Cam pi tell is at torney, or, by reason of the thrcatencel revolt of the Republican farmers of Illi nois. It may be that all of tiiese things were facteirs in causing the resignation, or that none of them had anything tej elo with it but the fact remains that the de moralization exists in the Republican ranks, and jiolitie-al parties, like armies, are always at a disadvantage when they are for any cause even slightly demora lized. There is a lesson in the present con elition of the Republican party that will not lie lost uon Mr. Cleveland, who will soon select the chairman of the Demo cratic National committee. He will profit by Mr. Harrison's error, ami will choose a man for chairman who has the ability to manage a successful campaign and who is above even the suspicion of leing allied to ar.y of the numerous trusts am! combines (fostered by Re-pub-liean legislation, Dotably the McKinley tariff law,) which are oppressing the people of the United States. Senator Berry, in speaking against Hale's resolution as to the effective dif ferences between the Republican Klicy of "protection" and the Democratic pol icy of "tariff for revenue only," showetl that the first "whereas," which says that never were laborers so prosperous and so well paid, was conspicuously cont.ary to facts by reading newspaper telegrams concerning Carnegie's lock-out. He said that the Republican party believed iu high taxes and extravagant appropri ations, while the Democratic party le lieveel in levying taxes for revenue only and in practicing econemy. "But," said Mr. Berry, "the issue of the present campaign, which raises far and above all othe r issues, is the force bill, to which the Minneapolis convention ami its can didate for President are fully commit ted." The Democrats in Congress believe that the nomination of Weaver will close the career of the third party, as far as the South is concerned, as his Seeches when he was a Republican he has been everything were so bitter against the South that few Southern men will vote for him after reading them, anel South ern Democrats in Congress will see that the foresaid speeches are given a wiele circulation in that section. Representa tive Hemphill, of South Carolina, says: "All this talk of any other party except the Democratic e'arrying South Carolina is bosh. Nine-tenths of our people were for Cleveland, anel he will carry the State by a larger majority than has been given for years." The judiciary committee will go to Pennsylvania to investigate the Pinker tons, under the recently adopted House resolution. m. New York, July 0. Grover Cleveland has sent the following reply to a letter to Mrs. Cleveland from Mrs. Mary Frost Ormsby, presielcnt of the Frances Cleve land Influence Club No 1, informing her of the formation of the club anel saying it has taken the liberty of using her name: Grey Gahles, ) Buzzard's Bay, Mass., July G '12. J Mrs. Mary Frost Ormsby. My Dear Madam: Mrs. Cleveland has referreel to me your letter informing her of the organization of the "Frances Cleveland Influence Club." It is by no means pleasant to dissent from the me thetds which sincere friends adopt when their efforts not only demonstrate their friendliness but when they seek to sub serve the public goexl and are therefore engaged in a patriotic sen-ice. It is, however, impessible to approve of the use of Mrs. Cleveland's name in the designation of clubs designed to do po litical work. We trust you will not undervalue our objection, but it rests upou the senti ment that the name now sacred in the home circle as wife and mother may illy be spared in the organization and opera tion of clul created to exert political influence.

St. Johns. N. F., July This city has Ihh-11 almost entirely eh-stroved by tire. The loss is plaee-el at ifL'O.UOO.t KK. The folleiwing stre-ets were wid out: Military road, Duckworth street, Pres cott stm-t, ueen's road, CeK-hrane street, Gewer street, King's road, Cath edral hill and Ing's hill. Aliout 4 o'clock a house on Ixng's bill wi?s elisceive red to le e.n fire. Tbe firemen resMnele el promptly to the alarm, but when they arrive-el the southwest wind that was prevailing had caused the fire to spn-ad to adjoining buildings. DcsiKTafe efforts were made to stay the progress of the tire, but they were fruit less. Meist of the houses on Ixmg's hill were ohl wooden structures and they caught lire and burned with great n piel ity. I-arge burning brands were caught up by the wind anel carried te the refs eif etthe-r buildings, whie h were SeKn burning furiously. It was soen se-en that the fire de-irt-int iit was helpless and .eople living in the path that the fin' was ele-stined to take- Ix'gan to move their portable- hoii.-e-he.ld effects ami valuable. It is feared that some of the-se e-ople lest their lives by their feje.lhardiness in returning to their homes when the flames were close ujhiu them. While these' dwelling honse-s were burning unhindered it was found that the new Mcthoelist college was on tire-. Efforts were maele to save this building, but they we re fruitless. The -ellcge was the educational headquarters of the Methodists in Ne-wfeaindland and its loss will le severely felt by the denomina tion. By this time the winel was blowing a gales anel the tire was spreading with ap palling rapidity. Builelings situated some distance from the burning struc tures caught fire freun the Hying emU-rs and were elestroyeel without a hand lie ing raised to atte-mpt to save them. The lirenie-n ami the eople were com pletely paralyzed, anel the fire elid its weirk eif elcstruction unhimle'red. The- Masonic Temple, Orange Hall, St. Patrick's Hall, the Engli.-h Cathedral, the Athena um, the Kirk, the Commer cial bank, the Atlantic hotel, LinU'rg's brewery all HI prey tt the flame's. The English Cathedral was a magnificent strue-ture, anel was considered to le the finest piece of Gothic architecture on this continent. It was yet incomplete though it had been fifty years in build ing. It is known positively that one man and six children have M-rished, but it is thought that when the excitement sub sides it will le founel that the loss ef life is much greater. The Parliament builelings were ele Stroytd and fully six hundred other builelings we-re wiped eait. Many eif the-se were dwelling houses, their oe-cu-pants lie-ing couiielled to seek refuge in the fields. The military authorities have furnished them with as many tents as jKssible anel the civil authority are eloing everything in their tower to allevi ate the distress. Tbe Call fur tiuus. We elo not observe that any of the Protectieinist newspapers come to the el; fense of the releIlious workmen at Hoine steael who are fighting against a reduc tion of wages. They have cemstantly dinned in the ears of iron anel ste-e-1 workers that "protex-tion t lalnjr" is the ohje-ct of high prejte'ctive tariffs. But at this critical juncture do some of them insist that to settle the present difficulty the Carnegies shall make an equitable elivision with their workinginen of the extra profits they are able to exact from consumers of iron and steal by rciison of tariff iluties? Oh, no. tuite the con-! trary. They insist that the state shall i thrust its guns into the faces of the de- fiant workmen, even before the authori ties of Allegheny county shall have ade- ' quatelj' trieel the milder and more toler- i apie meinexis wnicn tne laws require. "There would lie no Pinkerton men in this country," shouts the New York Tribune, the chief Protectionist organ ot the United States, "if it were not for such Governors as Fattison, of Pennsyl vania." There would, ineleed, be no need for Pinkertons if the states could be prevailed upon to suppress strikes with bayonets whenen-er called ttjion by tariff-feel monopolists who have trouble with their employes. 1 iierc is no defense and the iJewni makes none; for the illegal acts of the Homestead rioters. They will have to suffer the conseeiuences of their law- breaking. They will find totheirsorrow that when they insist too strongly upon their share of tariff bounty the matter will finally lie argueel with guns. But Governor Fattison will not send the guns until the workinginen themselves shall have comjH'lled him to that dreadful al ternative by persistent lawlessness too powerful and too stubborn to be other wise dealt with. In the megntinie there should le in the greatest Protectionist stronghold in the country no need of outside assist ance in arranging the rate of wages. 1 1 may be treason to assert that there, as elsewhere, labor must take what it can get in open market, tariff or no tariff; but it is true.
