We venture to say that never in
all our political history has the na
tional campaign year brought
broader, deeper and more prevail
ing questions down closer to the
people. There is not an issue that
does not touch a vital spot in what
most concerns the masses. Our op
ponents may proclaim and plead,
their speakers may conjure and
manipulate, but our position is pre
eminently of and for the people
The questions we present are of
economy, home, family, labor, per
sonal rights and money. We pro
pose to make of the campaign a
a school of education, and the
school will swarm with enthusiastic
scholars, all intent on knowing
what is best for their comfort and
prosperity.
We are proud to know that our
party has embodied the principle
of the McKinley law, in which the
principles of protection have been
carried to its logical conclusion
and no longer leaves a doubt to the
readers of republicanism, the posi
tion the old party takes upon that
subject. Articles which can be
manufactured or produced in this
country in sufficient quantities to
support our own needs, are brought
under the shelter of protection,
thereby leavingcoiupetition among
our own people to regulate the
prices.
Those'articles, which from climat
ic or other reasons, cannot be pro
duced in this country in sufficient
quantities to regulate the price, are
put upon the free list.
We of the repblican party believs
this to be the true theory of protec
tion. Protection on a new article
may temporarily, and by some per
cent of the duty levied, increase the
price, but the price declines as the
home manufacture of the'article en
larges and home competition sets
in.

The Chaplain's Collection.
Kev. Benjamin F. Diffenbacher,
late chaplain of the Nebraska house
of representatives, delivered a very
enjoyable lecture at MeKendree M.
E. church, Massachusetts avenue,
last evening. He has collected a
large number of stereopticon views
of persons, places and public build
ings during his six months in
Washingion, which were thrown on
the canvass by Prof. I. I J. Murray.
The chaplain is a ready speaker,
and his explanations and comments
gave effect to the views presented.
It is understood that the lecturer
will exhibit his pictures to the peo
ple of his state in the near future.
Those who feel an interest (as all
must) in the beauties of the
National Capital citj-, and in those
illustrious personages whose lives
are so interwoven with our coun
try's history, will find that the
chaplain's collection has been made
with rare judgment, a id that his
investigations enable him to im
part a great deal of valuable infor
mation. Washington Post.
Chaplain Diffenbacher will be at
the Presbyterian church Thursday

ANOTHER BATTLE.
This Tirho in the Idaho Minos
.at Wallace.
FOURTEEN .MEN WEICK KILLED,
The Conflict Was at tho Com and
Frisco Mines The Deadly
Work Was Done by Ex
ploding Giant
Powder.
Wallace, Idaho, July 11. The
strained situation in the Coeur
d'Alene labor troubles culminated
this morning between 5 and 0
o'clock. The Gem and Frisco, non
union mines, were guarded by men
behind barricades armed with Win
chesters. This morning a miner
from the Gem started for Hurke.
When opposite the Frisco mine he
was fired upon. Soon the miners in
town armed themselves. They
marched in a body toward the
Frisco mills. When scarcely within
rille range a' volley from the mine
greeted them. They scattered and
a regular battle ensued. One miner
and one non-union man were
killed, and perhaps six were
wounded during the engagement.
The miners in the meantime loaded
a Union Pacific car with 750 pounds
of giant powder and sent it down
the track toward the Frisco mine.
Directly in front of the mill the ex
plosion occurred, shattering the
mill and making it a complete
wreck.
The non-union men then showed
the white Hag and surrendered.
They marched the miners to Union
men and guarded them. No indig
nities were offered after the surren
der. While the fight was going on
at the Frisco, the Gem guards sud
denly began firing volley after vol
ley into the town of Gem, riddling
the buildings with bullets. John
Ward was wounded in the arm and
Gus Carlson, a union miner, was
killed. All attempts to recover
Carlson's body were met with a vol
ley, and when the body was recov
ered an hour afterwards he was
dead.
At JS o'clock a truce occurred and
the sheriff, district attorney and
deputy United States marshals ap
pearing upon the scene, peace nego
tiations were immediately set on
foot and a truce declared, and at 12
o'clock the mine force surrendered
to the union men.
The number killed so far as
learned was fourteen and about ten
wounded, though there may be
bodies under the Frisco mill. De-
sides Carlson, Farry, Cunimings
and two other unknown men killed
and wounded, Hugh Campbell and
J. W. Gakardoger will die, also Sam
Peters and Pettibone.
Later It is reported that twenty
non-union men were killed in the
explosion of the mill at the Frisco
mine. No confirmation has been
received.
History of the Trouble.
The Frisco and Gem are the onty
two union mines in the east end of
Couer d'Alene. The strike in Couer
d'Alene began about nine months
ago. The fight was between the
miners and Mine Owners' associa
tion, organized to resist the de
mands of the miners union. Twelve
miners; including all the leading
ones, are included in the organiza
tion, and money has been freely
contributed to carry on the fight.
The former rates of wages were
$3.50 per day to miners and shovel
ers, and the strike of the miners
grew out of a reduction in the shov
elers wages to $3 per day. All min
ers working under ground demand
ed $3.50. There were several acts of
hostility when the strike began but
the miners union did its best to pre
vent by peaceable means, men work
ing at the reduced wages. The
United States circuit court issued
an injunction forbidding an3rone
interfering with the men employed
hy the company or the mine prop
erty. About two months ago mat
ters were straightened out and work
went on as usual, but since the Car
negie trouble began the old ques
tion of wages has been revived by
the men and resulted in to-day's
bloodshed. A Spokane telegram
says that the union men at the
Poorman and Tiger mines quit
work and captured all the non-union
men working in the union mine
near Durke.
