Iips Alice Holmes, of Jersey City, X.
3.1 aged 77, blind for 10 years, has been
leq'ieatbed $300,000 by a deceased
brother in California. She has declared
her intention of exyendiog the money
aid the blind.
.John A. Beaver, a nephew of ex
Governor Beaver, of this state, has been
sentenced to the penitentiary for one
year and nine months, in New York,
for stealing from his employers and
falsifying accounts.
Hos. Daniel W. Voorhees, ex-U. S.
Senator, of Indiana, and a great Demo
cratic leader, is dead, aged 76 years.
Mr. Voorhees was familiarly known, be
cause of his splendid physical propor
tions, as The Tall Sycamore of the
Wabash."
Humanity is the one power that is
strong enough to fuse all the discordant
elements which go to make up Congress
into solidity in an effort to relieve suffer
ing. The joint resolution appropriating
JOO.CHH) for the relief of the sufferers
from the Hoods in the Mississippi river
and its tributaries and in the Red river
of the North which became a law last
week, received the unanimous vote of
Congress.
The framers of the Dingley bill are
much interested in a semi-ofllcial report
from the City of Mexico to the effect
that a retaliatory tariff bill is to be in
troduced in the Mexican congress this
wee-k. It is stated that, in view of the
practically prohibitive duty on Mexican
cattle provided by the Dingly bill, the
Mexicans will place a prohibitive duty
on American hogs and packing house
products, which comprise one of our
most important articles of export to
Mexico.
Noticed have been posted in all the
rolling mills at Coshohocken, announc
ing a reduction in the wages of the pud
dlers to $2 75 a ton, to go into effect
April IStli. The present rate paid pud
dlers id $3 '23 a ton. A meeting of pud
dlers has been called for Saturday night
to consider the ques'ion of accepting the
new schedule or striking against it. The
wages of all the other employees are
reduced to the schedule in oieration
lefore the advance of 1S05. This is not
the promised prosperity that McKinley
was to bring, but it is the kind the peo
ple are getting.
The administration and Kicg Han
na are especially sore over the unmis
takable rebuke given them by the re
sult of the Ohio elections. They try to
make light of the matter by saying that
only loial issues were involved, but they
km w better, and every body else knows
better; knows that the administration
ex e :ted and worked for Republican
success, which it would have considered
an endorsement. Senator Jones, Chair
man of the Democratic National com
mittee, says: "While I am not at all
disposed to attach too much importance
to purely local elections, I do believe
that the result in Ohio is largely due
to the dissatisfaction with the National
and State government of the Republi
can party. Inere is no doubt in my
mind, either that the cause of bimetal
lism has made tremendous strides since
last Nevember. and I Relieve that more
has been accemplished for our cause by
the very logic of events than was done
by all the campaign methods."
Ex-Senator Hill, of New York,
warns the Democracy against overconfi
dence and undue exultation over recent
Democratic victories. We don't think
the warning at all needed. No one is so
foolish as to regard the elections as
decisive of anything in the future.
They merely show, says the Pittsburg
iVsf, a certain drift which may or may
not develop into the proportions of a
tidal wave at the congressional elections
next year.
Politics is becoming a much more un
certain quantity than formerly, for the
reason, we suppose, that there has of
late been a great weakening in party
lines and attachments. The Demo
crats in and the Republicans in
1S1, achieved great victories, and pre
diction followed that the opposition was
dead for a long time. This was shown
to be groundless as to 1312 and the
Democrats, and it will be equally 60 as
to 1S9G and the Republicans. In both
instances the victorious parties were re
cruited immensly by all the odds and
ends of politics. Their strength was
unduly swollen by the immense multi
tudes always in opposition but with no
fixed party attachment. This element
as soon as it votes a party in straight
way proceeds to vote it out. No ad
ministration can fulfill a tithe of the
pledges made for it on the stump and
in vote getting platforms. How is it
now with the Republicans and pros
perity and the advance agent? Since
1872 no president has been re-elected
for an immediate second term. Hayes
aud Arthur were refused nominations.
Since Jackson's time the only presidents
that have been re-elected in C5 years
have been Lincoln, Grant and Cleveland,
and they were exceptional men of ex
ceptional parts. It is questionable if a
president will be re-eleeted in the future,
unless the pressure of events and mark
ed capacity and personality make him a
great figure in the history of his time.
Party ties are loosing their hold. Tarty
discipline is relaxed. The independent
and no-party men seem to be able to
swing the pendulum, and it is a law of
our latter day politics that after a trial
they are as quick to vote a party out as
to vote a party in. We all expect too
much of government, and hence are
bound to be disappointed, with the re
sulting kick.
A a ru'.Ofyas the i Philadelphia
Record, legislative committee? of investi
gation do not avestigate whore any
serious abuses are to be uncovered; but
the committee to inquire into the comii
tion of the miners of bituminous coa! in
Western Pennsylvania has proved an
exception. From the investigations of
the committee it is seen that the com
pany store abuse is practiced in the bi
tuminous coal mines arouud Pittsburg
with a rapacity and contempt for the
rights of the workingmen seldom ob
served elsewhere in the Slate. Indus
trial employers of labor, no matter how
harsh, would be ashamed to treat work
ingmen with the iniquity practiced upon
them by some mining corporations.
There is less excuse for this company
store abuse in and around Pittsburg,
where stores of every description supply
consumers at the lowest rates.
It appears from the testimony of wit
nesses before the committee that every
species of wrong known to the company
store systen is practiced by these privi
leged corporations. Forehanded work
ingmen who demand payment of their
wages in cash set an example that is
most injurious to the truck system, and
a pretext is soon found for discharging
them. The prices of all commodities
are higher at the company stores than
elsewhere, a9 without the opportunity
for extortion upon helpless miners there
would be no inducement for maintain
ing these concerns. In order the more
successfully to practice the system,
more miners are employed than are
needed; and this brings more customers
to be plucked at the corporation store.
Thus . what with 6hort work and the
plundering store system the miners of
Western Pennspvlvania eke out an ex
tremely Drecarious existence. It is
worthy cf obe -vat on that the loudest
yelps for "Protection to American
Labor" come from corporation mana
gers who do not hesitate to practice the
most infamous method of filching from
workingmen a large share of their hard
earnings.
For many years the Legislature of
Pennsylvania ha endeavored from time
to time to extirpate the company store
iniquity; but in vain. The Courts, in
their jealous guardianship of the right
of private contract, have overturned all
effective legislation on the subject.
Yet in this case the only right of con
tract on the one side is the privilege of
being plundered. The company store
svstem is as contrary to public policy
as are contracts to pay gambling debts
or liquor bills: but the Courts that have
refused to enforce all such contracts
have found no ditliculty in maintaining
the implied contracts under an iniquit
ous device for robbing workingmen.
More than fifty years ago the Parliament
and Courts of England put the brand
on the store system of paying wages in
truck as hostile to humane and en
lightened public policy.
There is no question that the coal com
panies which have been under legisla
tive investigation in Western Pennsyl
vania and other corporations that are
guilty of like practice have violated the
spirit of their charters. But if these
charters should be forfeited nothing
would be easier than for the managers
of these corporations to go tollarrisburg
and for a hundred dollar fee take out
other charters under new names. Hence
the mere forfeiture of the charter of a
mining corporation for exceeding its
privileges would do little toward miti
gating the profitable company store
abuse.
But while all mining corporations
which evade the laws by selling goods
should be prosecuted to the forfeiture of
the charters, the legislature should
pass a declaratory statute putting the
company store system for robbing hon
est labor of its wages under the ssme
ban with contracts to pay gambling
debts, election bets nd liquor bills as
equally hostile to sound public policy.
It would then be seen whether the
Courts, while refusing to enforce a con
tract to pay a poker debt Or a whisky
bill, would be so inconsistent as to main,
tain compulsory obligations of poor
miners to receive their wages in the
truck of corporations as an alternative
to total loss of employment and etarve
ation. Let the priveleges of mining
corporations to cheat labor out of a part
of its wages be brought to the test again
and again in the Legislature and in the
Courts antil the decision shall be finally
made on the side of justice and human
ity! In an exhaustive discussion of the
principles of taxation by Mr. David A.
Wells, now running in The Popular Sci
ence Monthly, the principle is asserted
and supported with a wealth of politi
cal authority and legal decisions that
the rightful object of taxation is the
support of government and its limit the
actual needs of government.
It is upon this sound principle that
the Demociats of the house founded
their protest aganst the Dingley tariff
bill. They show that the Republican
tariff bill violates the principle in both
ways. It levies taxes for the benefit of
private enterprise and levies far more
than the support of the government re
quires. In effect, it collects a bounty
for distribution to favored individuals,
and in order that this may be done pro
poses taxes from $50,000,000 to $75,-
000,000 in excess of the government's
needs. The Republicans propose a dou
ble robbery of the people.
As act passed by the last congress
limits the maximum cost Of armor plate
for government vessels to $300 per ton.
On the recent call for bids for supplying
plate for a nurubor of proposed new ves
sels, only one bid was received. That
was a conditional one from the Illinois
Steel company, which the secretary of
the navy decided he could not accept.
Senator Chandler proposes, by way of
thwarting the armor plate combine,
that the government seize the Carnegie
and Bethlehem plants, under condem
nation proceedings, which he claims it
has the right to do.
.Mr. liriat- Ui an Affldcnt.
A b;i!cony at the Sin Marco hotel, St.
Augustine. I ll-, from which William
J. Bryan had just been addressing a
lare concourse of people, broke"-on
Thursday night of last wek, and pre
cipitated him and about one hnndrtd
other jers"ns to the ground teneath, a
distance of some twenty-live feet. Mr.
Brian was picked up unc n-vious, hut
ncovned and expected to le atue to
address tu; Legislature at Tallahassee
to-day. Several other persons were
seriously hurt.
Jacksonville, April William J.
Brian passed through here early this
morning en route from St. Augustine to
Tallahassee, where he will speak this
afternoon. He seemed to be euferiog
considerably from the effects of the ac
cident at St. Augustine last night, but
his vigorous physique enabled him to
keep up and moving. A slight discol
oration was seen above the left eye.
His face was pale. These are the only
outward evidences of the accident, al
though a tinge of pain would occasion
ally be seen across his face. His limbs
are also bandaged in several places,
where he received slight bruises.
His time while in Jacksonville was
spent quietly at the railway s ation.
The heavy downpour of rain prevailing,
prevented his speaking, and the rest he
secured seemed to be very agreeable to
him.
IlllCltrnt Water Ever Known.
New Orleans, April 11 The river
gauge fluctuates between 18 and IS 2
feet. This brings the record up to one
tenth of a foot higher than given by any
official data compiled. The river is
certainly booming, and in spots the
water washes over the "aprons" of the
levees, making extensive deposits of
mud. The authorites, however, deny
any additional apprehension, and are
resourceful in combating any inroads
made by the river, rapidly applying
temporary harriers of sacks filled with
earth and such other devices as appear
most expedient.
Iu the adjoining parishes of St. Ber
nard and Plaquemines the levees suffer
most from wave washes, . but officials
charged with the duty of maintaining
the embankments in good shape are
straining every nerve to keep out the
water. The present dry weather is a
Godsend and the rain-soaked levels are
drying quickly, facilitating improve
ments. In spite of the rising river the
situation can be described as satis
factory. Changing the Course.
Omaha, Neb., April 13 The Miss
ouri river is changing Its channel past
Omaha and, in doing so, threatens to
destroy property to the value of several
million dollars. Last night the river
broke through its banks about a mile
above where it left the old channel
twenty years ago and is to-day running
two broad streams across which were
yesterday fertile market gardens.
These streams run into Florence lake,
a relic of a former cut-off. From
Florence lake the water is pouring into
Cut-off lake, and it now seems only the
question of a few hours until East Oma
ha is moved into Iowa and all the
property in the Hue of the Hood is swept
away.
But Others Can.
Harrisburg, April Rev. Dr. S C
Swallow, recently convicted rjf lilK'ling
the loard of public buildings and
grounds, and who has been trying to
get into the ruins of tiie burned capitol
to see what he can find to establish his
charge that the capitol was burned un
der suspicious circumstances, is out in a
card in which he denounces the board
for refusing him admission to the ruins.
He says the bonrd has informed him
that it has referred his request to the
attorney geueral for an opinion, aud
this, he claims, will bar out hs witness
es until after the meeting ef the com
mittee on the origin of the fire on Tues
day evening next.
Fits Nij Fight Again.
New York, April 13 Martin Julian
arrived in this city to-day. He said:
"We have never stated that Fitsim-
mons retired from the ring, or that he
would not fight. If any new aspirants
come forward and a good purse is offer
ed tit, will not shirk a fight. He has
never been a shirker. The talk of Kid
McCoy challenging him is nil non
sense. ny, Fit, taught him all he
knows."
Speaking of Brady s threat to chal
lenge Fitzsimmous to another fight,
Julian is reported as saying:
"Brady is not such a fool as to at
tempt it and Corhett has no particular
desire to meet J ltzsimmons again."
Flood Victims Suffering for Food,
Little Rock, April 10. Governor
Jones yesterday received a letter from
island . ., in which it is said that the
people there are in imminent danger of
perishing. 1 he inhabitants are on
house tops, on rafts and all manner of
floats, and are entirely without food.
There said to I 35 families around the
island, and the letter states that unless
they receive immediate succor they will
certainly perish. One family near the
island lost six children in the Hood.
Another letter from Iaconia levee dis
trict gives a graphic description of the
sufferings of the victims in that dis
trict.

Washington, April 12. The presi
dent to-night announced the appoint
ment of Senator Edward G. Wolcott, of
C lorado; Hon. Chrlaes J. Fayne, of
Massachusetts, and ex-Vice President
Adlai E Stevenson, as commissioners
to an inbrnational monetary confer
ence. The-a appointments are made
under the act approved March 3 last,
"For the promotion of an international
agreement for bimetallism," and by its
provision do not require confirmation
by the senate.
It has leeu generally conceded that
Senator Wolcott would be made a mem
ber of the commission. He has been
an active leader in the movement f r a
monetary agreement and widely known
as an advocate of the silver cause.
Ex-Vice President Stevenson, the
Democratic meniber of the commission,
is generally known as an advocate of
bimetallism, and a staunch supporter
of Bryan and Chicago platform. He
and Senator Wolcott, however, are said
to te in accord on the financial question.
General Charles J. Payne, who may
lie termed the minority member, is a
Republican and was a McKinley man.
He is one of the most prominent busi
ness men of Massachusetts, and is said
to be a deep student of the financial
question. While he is classed as a sup
porter of bimetallism based on inter
national agreement, he is regarded as
allied with the "sound money"
faction.
Fatal outliern Cjclone.
O.ark, Ala , April 10. A cyclone
passed over a portion of Dale county
Thursday night, leaving wreck and dis
aster in its path. Many houses were
demolished. Several persons were kil
led. A Mrs. Powers was caught by the
falling timbers of her home and died be
fore she could be rescued. The rest of
the family were rescued, including an
infant whom the mother saved at the
cost of her life. For many miles every
thing the farmers had was swept away
by the wind or ruined by the torrents of
rain. The citizens of Ozark have sent
several wagon loads of supplies to those
in need.
The second portion of the cyclone
was oeiiecied upon tne runt vauey,
breaking across south Georgia and pas
sing through Arlington, where but a
few weeks ago nine children were killed
in the ruins of a school house. Reach
ing Yaldosto, the strrm became intensi
fied in fury, and trees were blown down
in everv part of the city. A church was
.- - -. . i i
wrenched irom us xounoaiion anu
twisted into fragment? by the winds.
The box cars on the Plant system were
blown off the track. From many other
towns in the vicinity reports of an
equally alarming nature are coming in.

Washington, April 12 The recen
appointment of cx Secretary Foster and
ex-Assistant Secret -try Hamlin by the
president t3 assist in the negotiations
now in progress with Great Britain re
specting the Retiring sea seal fisheries
is indii-ative that this loug standing
diplomatic issue has at last assumed
grave importance, and that an earnest
effort is to be made to end the present
unsatisfactory state of affairs, or at least
to place the subject on such a footing
tefore the leginning of the approach
ing season as will prevent it from pass
ing into a more serious phase. The
trouble appears to have been principally
through the refusal of the British
authorities to renew last year the regu
lations requiring British vessels going
into the seal waters to place their fire
arms under seal.
Miss Dickiuson bets a Small Verdict.
Scranton, Pa., April 10 The closing
arguments of counsel iu the Ann Dick
inson case were made yesterday and
Judge Aeheson charged the jury. His
instructions were not binding, but they
might just as well have been, as they
clearly suggested a verdict for the de
fense. He gak': "Personally, I be
lieve the the forcible entry into Miss
Dickinson's room was justifiable, though
I don:t ask you to. accept my view of
the matter. The action of the several
defendants in assisting to take Miss
Dickinson to the asylum seems to have
been none other than neighborly as
sistance." The jury retired at 5:30
o clock, and at 12:35 reported a verdict
of G cents in favor of Miss Dickinson.

MILLIONS IN PROPERTY IN TERIL.
the Missouri River Threatens to Re
sums the oThaooet Abandoned 20 Years
Ago Hard Fight Inn to Prevent It.
The Scared I'eople Flee.
Omaha, April 14. Piling and boards
and bans of sand, old hay and stones
are being fed to the hungry maw of tho
Big Muddy at Omaha in an effort to re
strain the manifest intention of that
erratic stream to resume the channel
abandoned 20 years ago. It looks like
the effort might succeed. But all hope
is hedged about with provi.-os that the
river does not rise any higher, that a
north wind does dot blow and, most un
certain of all, that the break in the bank
above Florence lake is not so bad as the
overflowing water indicates.
If the Missouri changes its channel
past Omaha it will destroy property to
the value of several million dollars.
The river broke through its banks about
a mile above where it left the old chan
nel 20 years ago and is running two
broad streams across what were fertile
market gardens. These streams run
into Florence lake, a relic of a former
cutoff. From Florence lake the water
is pouring into Cutoff lake.
Should the river complete the cut-off
it lias threatened. East Omaha, with
extensive factory plants, including the
great Carter white lead works,' will be
moved into Iowa, and the 3.(Hi0.0h
bridge of the East Omaha Terminal
company will be left across a slough,
while the thousands of dollars ex
pended by the government in protecting
the banks of the river alone the great
bend will have been wasted on a "cut
off" lake.
East Omaha and North Omaha are
flooded by the waters that are rushing
from the overfull Missouri river. The
residents flee for their lives, leaving
their possessions behind. The houses
are standing in the flood, submerged in
water from 1 to 5 feet deep. Fields of
grain and fences disappear beneath the
surface of the water, and the trees no
loncer show any trunks.
The flood i9 pouring in upon the low
lands of the East Omaha bottoms in a
strram that is estimated to be 2,000 feet
in width. It is sweeping southwest
and is pouring into Florence lake. The
water in the lake has broken over the
levee that was built to separate it from
Cut Off lake, and it is now rushing
with ever increasing volume into the
latter. It is spreading over plowed and
planted fields, it is driving residents
from their homes in North Omaha, it is
tearing up fences and threatening the
houses that stand from three to four
feet deep in the water. It is pouring
into Cut Off lake just north of the long
Lridsre which leads to Courtland Beach.
If it continues It is anticipated that
the lake will overflow its southern
banks. If this should occur and the
rise be still maintained, the entire
southern portion of East Omaha would
be threatened with a most disastrous
flood, as there is no elevatiou of the
land to stem the outpouring.
