The London Standard calls President
Harrison's action in the St. Mary's falls
matter "vexations and unfriendly,
faying: "We suppose it is a pretext to
pose as the exponent of a spirited foreign
policy."
A Ft'LL column and a half space of
ordinary newspaper space is required for
tha Nebraska Republican platform.
And, yet, it contains not one word of
endorsement for the McKinley monop
oly tariff.
Before Harrison made, him land

in the habit of referring to Benjamin as
"a narrow-minded bigot" and "a two-

EX-CONOKKSSMAN "PllII." B. TllOMP-
ON, Jr., of Kentuckey, while in New
York, a few days ago, said: "There is
no doubt that Hr. Harrison earnestly
insists on the enactment of a force bill,
and if it were a law he would go to the
last extreme in enforcing it. His con
centrated hate of the South, simply be
cause it is Democratic, has no parallel
since the mad days of reconstruction,
ajid this despite the fact that he ewes his
renomination to the boot-licking scala
wags he has appointed to office there.
The time has passed for such narrow
partisanship, and the conservative forces
of the whole country are anxious to re
pudiate it."
Recently the Republican newspapers
had much to say alxmt the fabulous
wages the Striking Homestead workmen
had been receiving, and about their
owning homes. But, the truth, though
slow, has come out, It apjears that of
the men employed at Homestead 13
averaged 17.50 a day, 4t between $5
and $7, 45 between $4 and if 3. 1,117
averaged from f 1.C8 to t2.oQ a day and
1,625 received 14 cents an hour $1.40
a day or less. By this it is 6een that
the wages averaged only $1.80 a day for
all the men employed in the mills.
Moreover, less than 25 per cent, own
their own houses, and of these 00 jer
cent, had their homes mortgaged when
the men were locked out.
Tim Iron Age is a thoroughly loyal
servant of the protected interest of
Pennsylvania. In its last issue it pre
sents a table of wages paid in the wire
rod industry in order to show that the
operatives receive very high pay. In
doing bo it is forced to give the labor
cost is a ton of roils. It is $1.95.
Wire rods are protected by a duty of
six-tenths of a cent a pound. This is
f VZ a ton, or more than six times as
much as the whole cost of labor. The
duty is practically prohibitory, the im
portations of iron rod in 1S11 leing
ralued at $92,000 and of steel rods at
5,00.
On nearly every ton of wire rods pro
duced in this country, therefore, the
American couaumers pay a bounty of
tlCit4Q. above the whole cost of lal or. j
N voter nefd err in regard to the i?-
pne U'tween the two parties, says the
Philadelphia Record, in this campaign.
The jx.Ih y of the Republican party is
written in the McKinley tariff, with its
exorbitant duties on clothing and other
necessaries of living. The purpose of
the Republican party to maintain this
barbarous system in its utmost rigor is
frankly proclaimed.
On the other hand, the policy of the
Democratic party is as plainly written in
the revenue tariff of 1S4i, which was in
every resiKM-t so successful a measure of
legislation that the high tariff party
well nigh expired under its operation.
The Democratic policy is further written
in the Morrison and Mills tariff bills,
which, following the lines of the tariff
of lS4t, aimed to reduce to moderate
rates the oppressive taxes on necessaries
of living and raw materials of produc
tion. With the policy of the Democratic
party thus clearly ilehnet! in its act,
partisan cries of "free trade" cannot de
ceive American voters in this contest
The question whether the country will
ultimately come to free trade is an issue
which lK.longs to the future, and which
IPterity may le safely left to determine
for itself. What concerns the present is
the substitution of a moderate and equi
table fiscal tariff for a system of spolia
tion and fraud.
The navy department may find itself
the centre of a creat scandal if it does
not satisfactorily explain why the style
of steel armor plates, now la'ing fur
nished bv the Bethlehem iron works
and the Carnegie concern, was changed
in a way to save the contractors several
hundred thousand dollars without a cor-
responding reduction being made in the
price paid the contractors. It is charged
that the change was made at Carnegie's
request, and experts say that it largely
deteriorates the defensive quality of the
armor. The acting secretary of the navy
attempts to explain it by saying that the
style of armor called for by the origina
Specification could not lie made in this
country.. That fact was very well known
when the contracts were made, but the
contractors agreed to put iu plants to
make it. This they have not done.
better explanation will have to be given
or Congress will have to investigate.
is probable that a considerable portion of
the illegal profits of this charge has al
ready found its way into the treasury of
the national Republican committee.
Ttll? Democratic committees can per
form no better work than distributing
copies of the force bill throughou
the country. This rt measure of
the Republicans, which President Har
rison has enthusiastically approved, is
the most iniquitous piece of proposed
legislation ever sought to le placed on
the statute looks. It places almost un
limited powers in the hands of the presi
dent, and could 1 used to crush the
rights of the individual and of the states
in the North as well as in the South, in
the East as well as in the West. Should
it be enacted no community could ever
1 free from the fear of seeing bayonets
bristling at the polls. Republican suc
cess in Xovenilier means nothing more
or less than the speedy passage of the
force bill. It is before the country in
dorsed by the very first resolution in the
Republican platform. It will not do,
therefore, to iooh, jmx) at the possibility
of its passage.
Tir District Court of the I'nited States
in northern Texas has decided that the
Legislature of a state has not a right to
prescribe through the agency of a State
Railroad Commission such low rates of
freight as would prevent the corporations
affected from meeting their obligations
to creditors. Such legislative regulation
is violative of the constitutional pre
vision declaring that "No State shall
pass a law impairing the obligation of
contracts." The decision of the District
Court in Texas is in harmony with the
decision of the Supreme Court of the
United States in the Granger cases in
Minnesota. This decision was to the
effect that though the government of a
state may rightfully exercise supervision
over the railroads within its limits, the
state exceeds its authority when it un
dertakes to impose conditions with which
the railroads cannot comply without
defrauding their creditors.
A contemporary strikes out after this
fashion: The Republican Senate having
defeated the House bills for the admis
sion of Arizona and New Mexico, possi
bly ashamed of its conduct, has appoint
ed a committee to visit those territories
during the recess in search of informa
tion. What information does the au
gust Senate want? What will its com
mittee go out "for to see?" Is it not
well known that both Arizona and New
Mexico have as large populations and as
many of the attributes of statehood as
had the territories which, as pocket
borough states, have been admitted into
the Union by the Republicans for a
political purpose? The mission of the
committee is unnecessary. Everybody
knows that Arizona and New Mexico
are kept out of the Union by the Senate
because they would be Democratic
states.
The gross population of the United
States, as certified by the National Cen
sus, is atout 0o,000,0t0. The number
endowed with elective franchise is less
than 20,000,000. The census also cer
tifies that there are 15.000,000 farmeis
Inasmuch, therefore, as this number
constitutes a large majority of electors.
we are, virtually, a nation of agricul
turists. The census, likewise, reveals
another striking fact. Not only are
farmers by far the largest majority of
our population devoted to any one in
dustry but they greatly surpass, in num
ler, those of all other industries com
bined. An earthquake shock in south Wales,
Wednesday night, smashed crockery,

Kansas City, Aug. 21. The Journar $
reiort from Wichita, Kan., says: "The
St. Louis A San Francisco railroad's pas
senger train which U-ft here at 10:30
o'clock last night was held up, ana me
Wells-Fargo express car roblied by lour
masked men near Augusta, Butler
ountv, alMut midnight, and lefore
o'clock this morning the outlaws were
antured with a part of their booty. As
the train slowed up at the Santa Fe
rossi ng about a mile east of Augusta,
two masked men mounted the locomo
tive from either side, and covering
the engineer and fireman with guns or
dered them to stop the train. The train
came to a standstill and two members of
the robbers' gang, who were in hiding,
started to uncouple the express car.
As soon as this was done the engineer
was compelled to pull out with the car a
mile distant from the train. While two
of the highwavmcn watched the locomo
tive crew, the others went to the express
car door and demanded admittance, and
bv way of emphasizing their demands
commenced to shoot through the sides
of the car in which were Manager
Shifft and a baggageman. The im
prioned men soon gave in. Shifft was
forced to open the safe and the robbers
ransacked even thing, getting lie t ween
15 anil 20 Dackaires of monev. I lie
amount of money secured cannot be as
certaineil, but it probably will not exceed
$8,000, as the train is made up at Bur
ton, only 20 miles west of here.
The roblierv was committed bv four
farmers living in the vicinity of Doug
lass, Butler county, and, it seems, was
expected. Sheriff ipp, of Colwey
county, was informed that such a scheme
was on fiKt, by the fifth memebr of the
gang early iu the week, and while he
could not discover when the robbery was
to take place he had a posse in waiting
As soon as he got wind of the up-hold
he pounced on the outlaws.
Murdered at Mght.
Texarkana, Ark., Aug. 24. The
particulars of a dastardly murder, which
was perpetrated Saturday mgtit at Cam
eron, a small village on the Cotton Belt
railway, fifteen miles north of here
have just reached here. Bad blood has
existed for the past three years Iwtween
Paschali Frazier and a Long, and they
have have had frequent quarrels.
On Saturday they had another dispute
during winch Frazier made threats of
of violence on Long. The latter went
home and at the usual hour retire
with his wife and children for the night
he, with his eldest child, occupying one
bed and the wife and two younger child
re a taking another led in the same
room. At about 11 o'clock five shots
rang out. All the charges teiietrated
the bedroom. One struck Mrs. Long
and went through her body causing
death in a few hours.
At the inquest held Sunday enough
testimony was brought out to cause
Tvarran's to le issued for Frazier as th
murderer and Coleman as an accom
plice. The latter was arrested and say
that Frazier has tied but it is not though
he can escape the officers who are look
ing for him.
Tbe Buffalo strike.
The Buffalo strike situation may be
summed up briefly by the statement tha
so far as the railways are concerned th
strike is ended. Trains are leing moved
under the protection of the milita a
usual, and the blockade is being gradual
lv raised. Men enough havelieen found
willing to take the plnt-es of the strikers
to fill all vacancies, and more can te
seen nil if needed.
The milita still remain on the ground
in full force, and unless the now leateii
strikers can induce the other railway
employes to strike in sympathy th
sooner they acknowledge themselves
beaten and take themselves out of the
contest the better. As vet there is no
basis except wild rumor for the be lie-
that firemen, trainmen, engineers
telegraphers will strike.
The Contractor on the Rack.
Porrsvit.i.E, Pa., Aug. 23. In th
auditor's investigation Contractor Tay
lor, who built the $3iHt,0(K) court house
acknowleged that he gave money
to
some of the commissioners or thei
clerks, which he thought was to be used
for their campaign expenses; that he
gave Architect Beele money in various
amounts, some as high as $500, and
testified that he could not rememler
whether it was once or 14 times that h
gave the architect money, but said that
he positively rernenitered that only one
of these loans or presents were ever re
turned to him.
He acknowledged that he gave money
to Commissioners De Turk and Bower
and thinks that Bower paid his back,
but says that I hi Turk has not done so.
Forall all these sums he took no receipts
or other acknowledgement. He claims
that he burned all his books.
And this Mas a Woman!
Mokristown, Aug. 22. A singular
instance of long continued silence on
the part of a person able in every way to
talk is recalled by the death on Saturday
of Mrs. Matilda Krney at Hatfield, this
county. She had not utterred a word
for over 11 years. Over 11 years ago
she became mentally unbalanced, and
was taken to the Morristown state insane
asylum for treatment.
Shortly afterward, without apparent
excuse or reason, she suddenly ceased
talking. Repeated attempts were made
to surprise her into speech or conversa
tion by announcing interesting news
and wonderful intelligence, but no in
ducement was found sufficient to lead
her to open her lips to sjeak a syllable
and during all these years she maintain
ed an unbroken silence.

Pan Francisco, Aug. 22. The Orien
tal steamer Gaelic brings details of great
losses of life bv a typhoon landslide, and
earthquake in Japan. The typhoon
raged three days at Tokushima. and the
town was flooded. One hundred and
fifty drowned, 2,000 houses swept away
and 20,000 submerged. Twenty-five j
thousand ieople are being fed by the
government. In Akaogun 300 people
were drowned and 3,000 dwellings swept
away.
Landslips on a mountain side in Oto-
mura filled a river and converted a val
ley into a huge lake. No details have
been received, but as the eople had no
warning many lives must have been
lost.
Near Tokushima a great fissure
opened in the earth at the base of the
Hoil mountains, and swallowed up 1C0
houses and 100 jeople. Rumbling
noises were heard for days before the
disaster. The noises still continue and
the people have fled to the hills.
From Oduyamy come reports of terri
bly disastrous Hoods. Over 5,(HX) houses
were submerged and 100 persons
drowned.
Cholera Kaping.
London, Aug. 22. A dispatch to the
Timn from Teheran says: "Cholera is
decreasing rapidly in Tabriz, where the
number of deaths have fallen to sixty
daily. Tiie epidemic is still severe in
the neighborhood of Teheran. The vice
governor and his wife died to-day. Sev
eral Europeans have died. The only
trustworthy estimate is that the deaths
number from 800 to 9O0 daily."
The oilicial cholera report issued this
morning at Si. Petersburg shows an in
crease of 236 deaths, as compared with
Saturday's figures. The total number
of new cases reported yesterday were 6,
8'.1, and the deaths numbered 3,313.
The cholera returns for all Russia

deaths have been reported in the last
twenty-four hours.
An epidemic of cholera prevails in the
town of Jiimet, three miles from Char
leroi. Many persons have been attacked

A Workman' Horrible Death.
Viesna, Aug. 21. A workingman
named l'achoo met with a horrible fate
at Wartburg a few days ago. The man
had been engaged in retiring a furnace
at the Vogel iron works and it is gup
posed had fallen asleep while at work
inside a Hue. Some fellow-workman,
not knowing that l'achoo was inside,
bricked up the Hue and soon afterward
fire was started in the furnace. Two
days eIaj)Hl and the relatives of the
missing man tiegan to make inquiries.
As he had last been seen at work in the
furnace it was decided to make a search
there. When the flue was reopened the
man's remaius were at once found, dis
torted and charred beyond recognition.
Many of the furnace bricks had been
dislodged from their place, showing that
the poor fellow had made desperate ef
forts to escape.
Down to Three Cents.
riTTSBCRG, Aug. 24. The river coal
operators have agreed to reduce the price
of nvning from 3$ to 3 cents. The
meeting of the coal exchange yesterday
brought out a large attendance, and
with but several exceptions the opera
tors were unanimous in voting to ask
the reductions of the miners. Those in
the minority will abide by the decision
and also request the lowering of the
rate.
The chances for a strike among the
10,000 operatives engaged in the river
mines in this district over the cut, which
will be inaugurated September 1,
are about equal. Many of the operators
exjiect their men to go out, others say
that the recent defeat of the railroad
miners and the justice of the demand
will deter them.

cape about 3 o'clock Monday morning by
securing an Iron bar out of one of the w in
dows, and with outside help letting them
selves down from th second -story window
by means of a rope. The turnkey forgot
to ItM-k them up in their cells over night,
as is customary. None of them have been
recaptured.
The boycott Instituted by the Ho me
stead strikers against tradesmen who sold
to the Carnegie Steel company resnlted on
Monday in the failure of Adolph Doerr.
one of the principal provision dealers in
that borough. Doera furnished meat,
milk and ice to Superintendent Potter and
the non-unionists from the beginning of
tbe trouble. No Amalgamated associa
tion man has patronized him since, and his
loss has been $10,000.
A St. Clair, Wis., special says: About
a thousand saw mill employes struck for
ten hours and eleven hours pay, and the
plants of five lumber compauivs, including
11 hour mills, are idle. No definite reply
has been made by the mill owners to the
committees, but there are uo indications
that the demand wiil be granted. The
mills shut dow n are the Empire, The Val
ley, the Dells and the Mississippi logging
company. The strikers are orderly.
The Falkland islands produce no trees,
but they do produce wood iu a very re
markable shape. You will see, scattered
here and there, singular blocks of what
looks like weather beaten, mossy, gray
s times of various size. But if you attempt
to roll over one of these rounded boulders,
you will find yourself unable to accomplish
it. In fact, the stone is tied dow n to the
ground tied down by the roots: or in oth
er words, it ie not a stone, but a block of
living wood.
