If ly any rhnnre in thoworlil a work
ingm:tn's waives are increased it is saiil
to lie ilue to iirotection. 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

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. Yours very truly,
(Signed) Grover Cleveland.

VBSOULTTEUY PURE
H auics PrMrnj a City.
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. Phihi. Record.
An Anlul Explosion.
Sax FRAXCistt), July y. A terrible ex
plosion at the West Berkly Giant Flow
Works, nine mile's from here, at 9:30
o'clock this morniDg and elestroyeel the
works and damaged the property for
several miles around. Five shocks were
felt here within a few moments. The
last four were terrific, shaking builelings,
wrecking many walls and breaking plate
plass in buildings eight blocks from the
water font.
The works were completely demolished.
The Berkley local train standing in the
tlepot was blown from the track and
many passengers stunned. It is stated
that there were 200 workmen mostly
Chinamen employed in the building and
ISO are reported killed but the exact
number cannett lie given.
Citizens of Oakland were panic strick
en and sought refuge in the streets.
Among the whites known to have
lcen killeel were Wallace Dickenson,
Chcrlcs Cauburs and John Dow. The
mutilated remains of a Chinaman were
found on the railroad track half a mile
elistant. The mangled loely of a white
beiy was found on a housetop ten squares
elislaut. Every window in the county
jail at Oaklanel was broken and builel
