Thc-se buttons are not made here, nor
are they likely to be made. First, be
cause little or none of the raw material
required has been found here; second,
because the total sales leing limited to
thii country would not warrant the
investment of the necessary capital in a
plant needed to make the various Ftyles
wanted. It is evident that the intention
is to exclude these gxds in the interest
of tow higher cost goods. The proposed
duty would be u real hardship and bear
heavily on the class of people who buy
'china buttons," as well as oil the
manufacturers of cheap shirts, under

Senator IJi av has changed his mind
aud will be a candidate for re-election
to the I'nited States senate. He an
nounces, says the Harrisburg I'ntruit,
that "the fiery cross will again be cai
ried over the state and the men in
blouses, the lourgeoisie," asked to rally
to his support. He is confident of re
election and his creatures are jubilant
lecause he has announced himself
candidate.
With the capitol burned to the ground
and a treasujy surplus consumed in the
hot raids of tjuay henchmen it is proper
as well as poetic for the loss to carry a
llery cross over the state. It is to I
hoped that when he does this a number
of Republicans will adhere to their ex
pressed intention to nail him.
The friends and creatures of this boss
are the men w ho were interested in every
piece of thievery, in every "cinch" bill,
in every scheme of joblery that consti
tuted so much of the "business" of the
last legislature. This was Quay's meth
od of paying his political debts to them
putting them where they could pay
themselves. None of the reforms he
promised so volubly when he feared de
feat aud extinction has been consum
mated. He cannot give the state re
forms and at the same time retain his
power. Iieform would disperse the
crowd of politicians who aid in keep
ing him at the head of the machine.
The longer Quay retains his power the
more corrupt and the more nearly crim
inal it becomes. There are other states
bossed to a certain degree. But there is
no other state which must suffer so
much shame and disgrace as Pennsyl
vania suffers through Quay. I?t him
carry the fiery cross if he must. He may
be crucified upon it.
The country is full of vehement out
breaks on the part of the voters who
were deceived and defrauded of their
votes for president last fall b; the whole
sale delusions of the McKinley niana
gers. The reaction is everywhere. The
boastful pictures that prosperity awaited
only a Republican triumph has been
proved by events to be the merest sham
and humbug ever put off upon a trust
ful people.
It is now realized that the craft and
capital of Wall street and the cunning
of Republican politics and the influence
of a subsidized press all co-operated in
last year's election to mislead the public
opinion in the northern and northwest
em states. Especially has this revela
tion been brought to the two classes to
which especial appeals were then made
by the McKinley-Hanna machine. The
work people of cities and the farmers in
the country have give up the hope of
prosperity which was to follow closely
upon last November's election and ex
pectation of letter times has yieMed
place to indignation at the false preten
ses they have suffered.
The laboring men who furnished the
votes for the Republican leaders last fall
are reaping their reward in a reduction
of wages and less work, while the trusts
that furnished the money are getting
their reward through legislation. The
people have been made to suffer by their
own votes, and we often wonder how
long it is to continue.

Sew Town to be Built.
Pittsburg, Julv 11. A new industrial
town is to be built on the east side of
the Monongahela river, in Rostraver
township, Westmoreland county. Mon-
esen is to be the name of this new place.
which it is declared, will be the model
manufacturing town in the great indus
trial valley. It is also declared that i
will be one of the tiist fruitsof returning
prosperity to the United States. The
name is formed by a combination of the
first syllable of the name of the river
with the name of the famous Prussian
manufacturing town on the Rhine,
where the Krupp gun works are located.
The name is not only euphonious, but
carries a meaning Kssen on the Mo-
nongahela.
A number of manufacturing plants
are said to be assured and one is already
in course of construction, the mill of the
National Tin Plate Company, a structure
of steel, brick and stone, into which

is ready to be moved, and which will
give employment to 1,UK) persons, '.0

Pittsbnrg, July, 14. The prospect for
a settlement of the miners strike is
brighter to-night than at any time since
the struggle began, and both sides are
almost ready to count on a resumption
of work in the near future.
The cheering announcement is made
to-night that W. P. DeArmitt, president
of the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal
company, whose l,2lH) men have been
constantly at work, and without whose
assistance the success of the movement
would have been jeopardized, has agreed
to join with the other operators in a
plan for the settlement of the strike on
a true uniformity basis. This result has
tieen brought about through the efforts
of the joint arbitration commission, who
have been working to this end since the
meeting with Pieaident De Armitt yes
terday. lhis afternoon the commis
sion called upon Mr. De Armitt and 6ul-
mitted its plan, to which he agreed
Then the commission met the miners

their approval.

Crellin, of this city, the contract for a
canal excavation in St. Iawrence county,
X. Y., between the St. Lawrence and
Glass rivers. The canal will be three
miles in length and will require about
two years to complete it. The purpose
of the canal is to secure water fall and
establish an electric plant similar to that
at Xiagara Falls. The projectors have
already awarded to the Westinghouse
Klectric company, of Pittsburg, the coo-
tract for furni hing the machinery and
electrical equipment, which, it is said,
will cost f l.OHO.OOO.

Since then Mrs. Masterson has kept
away from her husband, being afraid of
her life. This afternoon Masterson
called to see her. He had been drink
ing. She refused to see him, but he
insisted, and as she opened the doors of
the house, Mastersou fired three shots
from a revolver, which took effect in her

ABSOILUIITEILY PURE
Washington Letter.
Washington, July 12, 1S97. An
other proof has been given of the pow
er of the money kings over this admin
istration. Mr. McKinley has virtually
been compelled to send a 6pecial mes
sage to congress, asking for legislation
n i
11
to carrv out the wishes of the hankers
for the appointment of a commission t
renort what financial legislation the
country needs. Mr. McKinley must
know that the silver senators will not
allow this legislation to be voted upon
at this session; if he doesn't, he will very
soon leirn if an attempt is made to
push it in the senate.
the senate this week passed the tantl
bill; the house declined to accept the sen
ate amendments, and the trust-made
document is now in the hands of a con
ference committee. The confidential
agents of the various trusts are in W ash-
ington in force to see that their interests
are taken care of by the conference com
mittee. The length of time that the bill
remains in conference will depend en
tirely upon the strength of the light that
will be made against some of the extra
ordinary favors granted the trusts.
Knowing that the will of Czar Reed,
his utter disregard of the constitution,
and his parliamentary somersaults when
cornered as Representative McMillin
cDrneted him this week when he moved
to suspend the rules and adopt the Mor
gan Cuban resolution, are sufficient to
prevent any action by the house, the
Republican senators are trving to bam
boozle the voters of the country by a lit
tle anti-Spanish buncombe. This week
Senator Ixdge, from the committee on
for- ii i relations, reported a resolution
authorizing the president to use force, if
necessary, to compel Spain to pay the
indemnity demanded any two natural
ized American citizens who were illegal
ly arrested in Cuba in 1895 If there
were any intention to put this resolu
tion through congress, it would be a
commendable thing to bring it forward.
as Spain has refused to pay any atten
tion to diplomatic demands for this in
demnity for two much wronged citizens
of the U. S , but to bring it forward with
no real intention of having it adopted
by loth branches of congress, merely as
a political play, is adding ftasult to the
injury already received by the two un
fortunates. For some unexplained reason the
membere of the senate committee on
foreign relations have changed their
minds about not reporting the treaty for
the annexation of Hawaii until the reg
ular session, and will report it at once
with a recommendation that it be rati
fied. An attempt is being made to get
the consent of the opponents of the
treaty to a vote at this session, it having
been ascertained that the necessary votes
to ratify can be obtained.
It is not surprising that men of or
dinary comprehension should find it
difficult to understand the theory of
protection" upon which the Republi
can tariff bill, passed by the senate this
week, was constructed. Take coal, for
instance. The duty on foreign coal is
advanced from forty cents to sixty-seven
cents a ton, yet Senator Elkins, himself
heavily interested in coal mines, says the
increase will not result in adding one
cent to the pay of the miners, although
he admits that the price of coal to the
consumer will undoubtedly be advanced.
In other words the 27 cents a ton added
is a gratuity to the mine owners. Sen
ator Jones, of Ark., thus expressed him
self on this subject: "The coal miners
would be justified in asking and expect
ing higher wages after the new tariff
goes into effect, if the Republicans were
sincere in their arguments in support of
higher tariff taxes. The burden of their
speeches on the coal duties, and on
every schedule in the bill, was that high
er rates were necessary to protect Ameri
can labor, and to enable American em
ployers to pay higher wages, but every
one knows that is not what the tariff
was increased for. It was to give the
coal mine owners and other employers
of labor large profits. Notwithstanding
the increase in the duty on coal from 40
to t7 cents a ton, the miners will be
fortunate if their wages are not reduced
instead of increased. Consumers will
have to pay more for coal, and the in
crease will go to the mine owners and
the railways. The tariff was not in
creased for the benefit of the wage earn
ers, notwithstanding the declaration of
the protectionists that the high duties
were for the benefit of American labor
ers." M.
Ulrl Catches a Robber.
Barberville, N. Y. July 12 The
home of Mr. aud Mrs. Joseph Hyde, near
oleott valley, was entered by a burglar
last night, but the presence of their 10-year-old
granddaughter saved the couple
from harm and caused the burglar's ar
rest. Miss Mary Hyde, the granddaugh
ter, resides four miles from her grand
parents, but the presence of numerous
tramps in the neighborhood caused the
young woman to visit them yesterday
and insist that they should not remain
alone at night.
Mr. and Mrs. Hyde occupied a room
on the second floor, while their grand
daughter insisted upon taking a room
on the first floor. About midnight the
young woman was awakened by a noise
in the sitting room, and, taking her re
volver, 6he cautiously opened the door
of her room. She saw a man fumbling
the contents of her grandfather's deek.
"What's wanted here?" she exclaim
ed, pointing her revolver at the robber.
The man turned to escape, but facing
the revolver, dropped the articles he had
in his hand and begged her not to shoot.
"If you attempt to leave this room
I'll shoot" sternly replied Miss Hyde,
who then alarmed her grandfather while
she guarded the robber.
In a short tiaie several neighbors were
at the house and the man was arrested.
He was identified as Frank Ames, once
employed in the viciui'y, but who had
not been seen for years.

Nine organizers have left here to
work in West Virginia- Six of these
were sent by the American Fedetation
of Labor. It is believed the 11 men
will be able to get the West Virginia
miners out. aided by the West Virginia
organizers.
Then comes the following good news
from Cleveland, which says :
Mr. J. J. Phillips has received a tele
crram from Fleuiington, W. Va., say
ing: "Miners all out on strike here."
Flemiugtoii is an important point in
the West Virginia coal fields, and local
operators believe that the strike will
now spread into West Virginia.
Mr. Phillip said: "The ieople do
not realize how serious this strike is.
There is not enough coal on hand to
supply the market more than a week
or ten days longer. The miners have
accomplished more than they expected
to and more than we ever thought they
could accomplish. They are in a iosi
tiou to dictate. If this strike is settled
it will be when the operators go to the
mine workers. The latter do not have
to go to the operators. 1 think the rail
roads will soon refuse to haul West
Virginia coal if the trainmen do not
refuse to handle it."
Another operator who had been in
Pittsburg said he believed the Wet
Virginia miners would come out and

A FIGHT FOR LIFE.
firemen Shoveled Hard to Save a Work
man I'roiu 4julcksnnd.
New York, July 7. A workman has
had a narrow escape from being
engulfed by quicksands in Henry
street, where excavating for a new
building has been in progress for sev
eral days.
His names is Jones and he lives in
Brooklyn. He was at work li teet
down in the excavation, which is I J
feet square and lined with planks.
Without warning the planking gave
way and the quicksand of the street
poured in on him. Before he could
give the alarm he was engulfed to the
waist. His cries brought two plumbers
to his aid and while one hld him by
the hands, the other rushetl for assist
ance. Word was sent to a fire truck house
for help. Twelve men were detailed,
who hurried to the spot with shovels
aud began digging the sand out. Their
efforts appeared to be of no avail, as
the sand entered faster than it could be
shoveled out. The imperiled man
called for a priest and Father Spellman
was summoned and he at once prepared
to administer the consolation of relig
