INTERESTING WESTERN LETTER.
Stewart Smith Heard From—Inter-
esting Account of His Travels.
Nampa, Ipano, Aug. 24, 1802.
Epitor LiveNcoop:—When I left
Salisbury, July 29th, quite a number re-
quested me to write them during my
absence, which promise I have failed to
fulfill, but have concluded, by your
permission, to write them through THE
STAR an account of my doings since
leaving home.
On the evening of Aug. lst I left
Pittsburg via P. & L. E. and the Lake
Shore & Michigan Southern railroads
for Chicago, arriving there about 9
o'clock. 1 remained in Chicago until 7
p.- m. and spent the day in taking in
the town. Surely a busy place itis. I
called on my old friend Mr. P. A.
Beachy, with whom I had quite a pleas-
ant time. Through his kindness I was
permitted to go through the large es-
tablishment of Dr. Fahrney’s, manu-
facturer of proprietary medicines.Peter
took me through’ himself, as he has di-
rect supervision of this mammoth con-
cern. I was only made to realize the
magnitude of the business when we
came to the shipping department, as
here we saw stacks of different sized
packages ready for shipment to all
parts of the world. I failed to meet
Mr. Beachy’s wife and daughter, as they
were absent from home at the time.
Peter certainly inherited the kind and
genial disposition of his parents, and I
shall ever feel grateful for his kind-
ness.
-At 7 p. m. I took the train for Denver,
going via Chicago & Northwestern and
U.P. route. Arrived at Denver at 9
o'clock p. m. the following day. Here
I overtook Dr. Thomas, of K. of P. par-
ty, who kindly spared me a berth an-
other person had left at Chicago, which,
after occupying one night, I again
started on my journey alone, as the K.
of P. party traveled slower than I cared
to go. I certainly received kind treat-
ment at their hands during my stay
with them. I remained one night and
best part of a day in Denver. In a
coach drawn by four fine biack horses
a party of sixteen of us took inthe city,
and a fine time we certainly had. In
the afternoon I left for Colorado and
Manitou Springs, where I spent about
four days. At Manitou I was surprised
to find two of our former townsladies—
Mrs. M. J. Beachy and daughter—who
find this a delightful place to spend
their summer outing, being only a
fourteen hours’ run from their Kansas
home.
Manitou is quite popular as a health
resort, and thousands visit this place
yearly from all over the United States,
as the water here contains valuable
medicinal qualities. I also met Mr. J.
B. Dumbauld and wife, formerly of
Markleton, Somerset Co., Pa., but who
came to Colorado almost one year ago,
on account of Mrs. Ds health. She
says she feels somewhat improved and
and likes the place 1 certainly re-
ceived kind treatment at their hands.
After leaving this place I had rather
| a tiresome trip to the Pacific coast.
| San Francisco is just like all large cit-
ies. Here I first had a glimpse of the
old ocean, the much talked of Golden
Gate, Golden Gate Park, ete. I spent
one night and best part of a day here,
when I again proceeded on, via Coast
Line route to Los Angeles, stopping off
at San Jose several days. San Jose is
a beautiful city. Here I met Dr. Geo.
W. Fowler, whom many of you will re-
member spent a summer in Salisbury
some years ago with Dr. Bruce Lich-
ty. Dr. Fowler is located at Santa
Clara, only 3 miles from San Jose,
where he enjoys quite a lucrative prac-
tice. He spared no pains to show me a
nice time bere. I also met a former
townslady—Miss Janet McKinley,whom
I certainly was pleased to see, and she
seemed equally glad to see some one
from her old home. She was happy in
the expectation of a visit from her sis-
rer and little daughter, whom she looks
for in a very few days.
Leaving San Jose I had a delightful
ride of 431 miles, via Coast Line, to
Los Angeles. Arriving there I procur-
ed a room for an unlimited time of
“The Davises,” but after a day’s so-
journ I met our former fellow towns-
man, W. S. Livengood, who would have
it no other way than that I make my
headquarters at his home; and a very
nice time I had with these dear people.
I assure you Mr. Livengood, his esti-
mable wife and lovely daughter Francis
certainly have the faculty of making
one feel at home. They are located in
the finest portion of city and have a
most deligtful home with beautiful
lawns. In his front door yard are two
fine palms of different species, one a
date palm, and I enjoyed the pleasure
of eating dates from this beautiful
palm tree. In his back yard is a fig
tree, a lemon tree and an orange tree,
all bearing fruit. The natural instinct
of farming still clings to our old friend,
and one morning I found him with a
bucketful of fine cucumbers and roast-
ing ears. He also has a coop of fine
Leghorn chickens. Will says he finds
much pleasure in looking after his gar-
den and chickens. Through his kind-
ness I had the pleasure of shaking
hands with General Otis, of Manila
fame, who owns and controls the Los
Angeles Daily Times. I also met Con-
gressman McLaughlin, who that very
day had been unanimously nominated
to succeed himself, and there seems no
doubt of his reelection.
I also had the pleasure of meeting
Mr. Jonas B. Livengood, a brother of
W. 8. Livengood and the editor of Tur
Star. J. B.is in the printing business
in Los Angeles. He had just arranged
for an outing at Santa Monica Beach.
His wife is not in good health, and it
was the advice of their family physi-
cian that they spend. some time at the
seashore.
After bidding these dear people good-
bye, I again resumed my journey, via
Shasta route, through San Joaquin
Valley, north to Portland, Oregon.
Here I spent several days with rela-
tives, Dr. Brucre and family, who
spared no pains to have me enjoy my-
self, and I am certainly indebted to
them for a nice time.
Leaving Portland I came on to this
place—Nampa, Idaho—at which place
I shall not remain long, as it is very
hot here. But I just discovered that
my letter is growing quite lengthy, so
I will stop, or it will find its way to the
waste basket. After my return I will
tell all about numerous side trips, ete.
Until then I bid adieu.

Thropp was nominated for Congress,but
that gentleman has said that he cannot
accept. However, there are others
who believe that he will allow his name
to go on the ticket. Time will tell.

A CONTRAST.
Wages Paid to Iron and Steel Work-
ers in America and in Europe—
Some Things that Laboring
Men Should Think Over.
Labor conditions in the iron and steel
industries of the United States, in con-
trast with those in the United King-
dom and European countries generally,
are discussed at great length by the
commission appointed by the British
Iron Trade Association which recently
visited the United States and thorough-
ly studied its great iron and steel
manufacturing establisments. This
commission consisted of Mr. J. S. Jeans,
whose name is already well known to
the peoplo of the United States as an
authority upon these subjects; Mr.
Alex. Sahlin, an expert blast furnace
worker; Mr. Ebenezer Parkes, whose
special study was sheet and bar-mill
practice ; and Mr. Enoch James, who
gave special attention to the steel in-
dustry ; while Mr. Jeans’ special work
was to report upon the general econom-
ic and industrial conditions. The re-
port of this commission, according to
some extracts which have reached the
Treasury Bureau of Statistics, points
out that in the United States the iron
and steel industries are face to face
with conditions that make both the
dearest and cheapest labor at present
to be found in the world—the dearest
in point of nominal remuneration, and
the cheapest in industrial and economic
results. “The workmen at American
mills,” says Mr. James in his share of
the report, *‘are generally supposed to
be working much harder than they do
in this country (England), but this is
not my own view. After much conver-
sation with many men in various
branches, who had been employed in
similar works in Enland, and some of
them subject to my own control, the
conclusion I have arrived at is that the
American workmen do not work so
hark as the men in England. They
have to be attentive in guiding opera-
tions and quick in manipulating levers
and similarly easy work. They are
also much more desirous of getting out
large quantities than in England. They
are better paid and more regular in
their attendance at the works, loss of
time through drinking habits or other-
wise not being tolerated.”
Mr. Sahlin in this section of the report
says that the American workman gen-
erally aspires to the higher grades of la-
bor, leaving the purely manual labor to
workmen from other countries. “Thus
it is,” he says, “that around American
blast furnaces the American if found
in a very decided minority. He may
be a foreman, master mechanic, blast
engineer, locomotive driver, or stove
tender, but he will not work 84 hours
per week, shovelling ore or wheeling
scrap. For tkese duties are employed
in the South the negroes, and at the
Northern furnaces immigrants, mostly
Irish, Slavs, or Italians.” On this ques-
tion of higher grade wages of Ameri-
can workmen, attention is called to the
fact that in certain works Polish and
Hungarian laborers were receiving
$1.00 to $150 per day, while American
rollers working alongside of them were
receiving on the average $12 per day of
eight hours. The report quotes Mr.
Carnegie as stating recently that the
average wages of men in his employ-
ment at Homestead was $3 per day, or
an average of 187 pounds sterling per
annum, against an average of 68 pounds
sterling per annum as the earnings of
iron and steel workers in Lancashire
and 79 pounds, sterling per annum re-
ceived by the steel rollers in South
Wales. On the question of cost of liv-
ing, Mr. Jeans declares, as the result of
his inquiries, that “the average Ameri-
can workman, in most of the essentials
of life can live, as cheaply as he can in
the Old Country.”
“The importance of the human fac-
tor,” says the London Statist in sum-
marizing this report, “is fully realized
by all members of the commission. It
is all very well to admire American
plant, the ingenuity of machine tools,
the devices for saving labor, and so
forth. But, as Mr. Sahlin remarks in
his special report, “It is not the guns
which win the battles, but the men
who stand behind them.” What the
American admires and honors is the
ability to do; that capacity in a man,
through his own sagacity, nerve, enter-
prise, and skill, to ereate and employ a
fortune. Nobody is above his work.
Everybody works, and for the sake of
work, and thus has been produced in
America within a generation an indus-
trial potentiality more wonderful and
more to be feared than all the factories
and machinery and ‘plants’ that these
workers have created. It comes to
this, then, that American labor is not
| more efficient, though it is better paid,
than ours; and that American manufac-
turing development is due to the per-
sistent, unresting industry which once |
characterized the Briton, but for which
trade unionism and athletics have giv-
en an apparently growing distaste. All
the reporters, however, seem struck
with the strenuousness of American
life. The comparative absence of =
leisured class is noted as one of the
prominent characteristics of the princi-
pal cities and industrial centres of the
United States. In the avenues of in-
dustry a man without a regular busi-
ness, or who is not concerned in the de-
velopment of some industry is as a fish
out of water Nowhere, we are assur-
ed, is the struggling youth more kindly
encouraged, more generously and more
readily trusted—than in America.”
A Remarkable Record.
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy has ‘a
remarkable record. It has been in use
for over thirty years, during which
time many million bottles have been
sold and used. It has long been the
standard and main reliance in the treat-
ment of croup in thousands of homes,
yet during all this time no case has
ever been reported tothe manufactures
in which it failed to effect a cure.
When given as soon as the child be-
comes hoarse or even as soon as the
croupy cough appears, it will prevent
the attack. It is pleasant to take, many
children like it. It contains no opium
or other harmful substance and may be
given as confidently to a baby as to an
adult. For sale by E. H. Miller.
Labor Day and Its Troubles.
Labor day was pretty generally ob-
served in Salisbury, but there was no
parade or general demonstration. A
picnic was held in the K. of L. grove,
but it was not very largely attended,
owing to the rain. However, nearly
all the laboring men and many others
observed it as a holiday. As is always
the case on a holiday, some people ob-
served the day by drinking and looking
for trouble. Several persons were run
in for being drunk and disorderly, and
no doubt some peaceable and sober peo-
ple were forced into trouble by those
who are always trying to create it.
A RATHER SERIOUS CASE.
We regret exceedingly to report that
a very unpleasant affair occurred down
toward West Salisbury, and if all re-
ports are true, at least somebody will
turn up in more trouble than was an-
ticipated.
It appears that some trouble arose in
West Salisbury between Lloyd Keslar,
Frank Newman, George Engle, Herbert
Smalley and Joseph Wagner, Jr. Sev-
eral blows were exchanged, but the
trouble was soon at an end. Later, how-
ever, hostilities broke out afresh on
this side of the river between the same
persons. Keslar, who has always been
known in this community as a very
peaceable and inoffensive citizen, al-
leges that while he was on his way
home from West Salisbury, he was set
upon by some of the other persons al-
ready named and severely kicked and
beaten.
Officer Will McMurdo appeared on
the scene and arrested several of the
participants, but George Engle suc-
ceeded in running away after he had
been taken in charge of by the officer.
But the end is not yet, for the whole
crowd will have to answer to the Bur-
gess for disorderly conduct, and Engle,
Newman and Wagner will get a hear-
ing before Esquire Samuel Lowry on a
charge of aggravated assault and bat-
tery, Lloyd Kessler being the plaintiff.
With the exception of Newman, whe
has quite a reputation for getting inte
and inciting fights and quarrels, we
have always known about all of the
persons implicated to be good-natured
and peaceable young men. But bad
company is responsible for the down-
fall of many young men, and just what
the outcome of this case will be is hard
to tell. Keslar seems to have a strong
case, and we think the best thing his
assailants can do is to try and effect a
settlement with him and keep out of
trouble in the future. We feel sure
that Keslar will molest no man who
lets him alone, and in justice to some
of the other young men, we will say
that we have always held the same
good opion of them. .But we will wait
to see what the evidence brings out.
We understand a hering is to be had
this evening before Esquire Lowry.
