of capillary attraction.
KERENS AND THE A. P. A.
Thm Mlaaaarl Rsavbllcaa.Cenarittaaau

New York, Aug. 24. Richard C.
Kerens, member of the Republican
national committee of Missouri and
whose attempt to have the Missouri
Republican convention place itself
npon record as opposed to the A. P. A
is in the city. He said to-day: "The
A. P. A.'s are a lot of bushwhackers,
political sandbaggers. They swing
lMMkaRdferthbetweea --parties aad
corrupt .-ward and city politics of
both parties Myrf ear Is that the at
tempt of this element foreign to the
party with its pernicious doctrine, to
fasten itself to the Republican party
will drive away hundreds of thou
sands of honest voters. The move
ment is, in fact, nothing more than a
revival of the ancient 'Knownothing'
doctrine, which, although shortlived,
was not without its effect upon our
politics. The Republican party has
ever been outspoken upon every pub
lic question and has always had the
courage of its convictions. I do not
think, it will dodge this issue now.
The Republican party is less friendly
than any other party to such doctrines
and will not fail, in ray judgment, to
meet this issue, if it can be called
such, manfully."
A TANGLE OF RED TAPE.
His
Warrants Issued Against Ezeta and
Companions Cannot lie Served.
San Fbaxsisco, Aug. 24. The sin
gular international complications in
volving' the liberty of Gerieral Antonio
Ezeta and his fellow refugees, which
have been so prolific of opera bouffe
seusations, developed a new tangle
of conflicting authority yesterday:
Warrants were finally issued for the
arrest of the refugees, but the local
federal authorities got -tangled up in
government red tape and the war
rants could not be served.
Judge 'Morrow of the United States
district court issued the warrants for
the arrest of the refugees yesterday
morning. The written authority from
Secretary Gresham, which bears date
of August 11, and which was mailed
from Washington, was placed in the
hands of Judge Morrow by Eustorjio
Calderon, who now represents the
government of San Salvador at this
port as consul. The complaints call
for the extradition of Antonio Ezeta,
Leon Bolanos, E. Jaccinto Coloeho,
Juan Cienfuegos and Florencio Busta
maute. The accused are charged with
being criminals and fugitives from
justice.
ERRORS
IN THE
lint
TARIFF BILL.
Treasury
Threo That Can Give the
' Officers Any Concern.
Washington. Aug. 24. The legis
lative and engrossing clerks of the
senate have been comparing the state
ment of errors in the new tariff bill
made in various papers and say there
are only three or four errors that
need to give officers of the treasury
any, concern. These are the
paragraphs relating to free ad
mission of alcohol in the arts;
the diamond schedule and perhaps
the omission of a period in the para
graph relating to stamping foreign
manufactures. Even in the case of
diamonds they believe the construc
tion placed will be that intended by
congress and they will pay the duty
imposed on precious stones. As to
the other errors enumerated, it is
claimed by these clerks that by no
system of construction can the al
leged mistakes in punctuation be
made to either impose higher duties
or allow the free admission of articles
named. Members of the finance com
mittee are of the same opinion
Income Tar aw to Be Tested.
Washington', Aug. 24. Senator Hill
expects to be an attorney in the first
case to test the constitutionality of
the income tax provisions of the new
tariff law. The senator expressed
the opinion when -the bill was being
considered in the' senate that there
were features of the law which were
unconstitutional, and says that he be
lieves when brought to the courts it
will be declared unconstitutional in
whole or in part
Catting Under England.
Washington, Aug. 24. From re
ports received at the state depart

carpets to the value of nearly 3500,

stronger it is stated that these car
pets are the famous Axminsters, sup
posed here to be produced in perfec
tion only in England, and the trade
is steadily increasing.

AMERICAN PROBLEMS.
REVIEW OF THE PAST YEAR
BY JUDGE COOLEY.
Iastractioas From Carlisle.
Washington. Auer. 8. The tariff
bill which has been in the custody of
the treasury; department since shortly
after it was sent to tha president was
returned to the White house this
morning: It is stated authoritatively
that a veto is out of the question and
that the bill will become a law at 12
o'clock to-night.
Secretary Carlisle has decided that
goods placed in bonded warehouses
under the McKinlev law and mado
free of duty under the new tariff act
are entitled to free entry and need not
be exported and rcimported to sret
the benefits of the new act. This is
of crreat interest to the wool trade, a
large amount of wool being stored
now in botided warehouses. In this,
as in all other mooted questions, the
secretary will follow the intent of
congress and let aggrieved parties ap
peal to the courts if they care to con
test on technical grounds. He un
doubtedly will hold that diamonds
are dutiable, notwithstanding the
erroneous punctuation of the free
list.
The secretary sent the .following
telegram to collectors at New York,
San Francisco, Boston. Philadelphia,
Baltimore, New Orleans, Chicago and
Port Townsendi Wash.:
Treasury Department. Office of Sec
retary, Washington, D. C, Aug. 27,
1894. Collectors of Customs: You are
instructed as follows concerning the
collection of duties under the recent
revenue legislation of congress:
First All articles heretofore sub
ject to duty made free by the provis
ions of the new act' may be withdrawn
from the warehouses on and after
August 28, 1894, without payment of
duty.
Second All manufactured articles
especially or generally provided for
in schedule "K" where composed
wholly of materials other than wool
or worsted or of which some one
material other than wool or worsted
is the component part of their chief
value, will be admitted on and after
August 28, 1394. at the rate of duty
prescribed in the new act; all other
manufactured articles specifically or
generally provided for the said
schedule will continue, until January
1, 1895, to pay the rate of duty im
posed thereon by the act entitled: "An
act to reduce the -revenue, equalize
duties on imports, and for other pur
poses, approved October 1, 1890.
Third Coffee and tea, hides and
skins, raw or uncured, whether dry,
salted or pickled, will be admitted
free of duty on and after the 23th day
of August, 1S94, and treasury circular
S" 12.510. dated March 24. 1892. is

tions of the president of the United
States dated March 15. 1892, and di

NEW CAR WORKS.
The Pullman strikers Organize a Company.
Hiawatha. Kan.. Ausr. 28. A com
pany of ex-employes of Pullman, 111.,
backed by Chicago capital, has been
organized to build car and general
manufacturing shops here. Citizens
have taken 850.000 in stock, and
Chicago capitalists S200.000 more.
Louis Meyer, president, and C. O.
Allen, secretary, will be here to
morrow to select the site and com
plete arrangements to begin work on
the plant at once. C. O. Allen is the
inventor of a new palace sleeping
car, for which Pullman offered SG5,
000 and a New York company S80.000
and a royal ty.
The compan3r will be managed on
the co-operative plan, each workman
to receive a share of the profits,
though the capital is guaranteed G per
cent- on the investment before the
laborer comes in for his share. The
company has control of five patents
and will manufacture all kinds of rail
way equipment.
President Meyer was the architect
of the initial Pullman shops and had
been in the employ of that company
ever since its organization. Eight
hundred ex-employes of the Pullman
shops are ready to come and begin
the building of the works as soon as
the preliminary arrangements are
made.
Last Thursday a party of men vis
ited the town and were introduced as
railroad contractors. One of them
asked the administrator of the Scth
Barnum estate to set a price on thirty
-Acres of land adjoining the townsite,
just south of the railroad yards. The
Missouri Pacifie and Union Pacific
are improving their shops here
and building a new depot and
freight ami express offices and

companies were bidding for the Bar
num land to increase their yard room.

they were given two checks if they
rented company dwellings, one rep
resenting the amount of rent due and
the other the balance of wages earned.
Bryant was questioned sharply re
garding this system of paying but em
phatically stated that there was noth
ing compulsory about the men paying
their rent The checks were only
made for th convenience of the men,
and they might or not indorse the
rental back to the company as they
might choose.
Asked about the case of Jennie Cur
tis, a Pullman employe, who had
claimed that she had been compelled
to pay back rent due on the house
which her father had occupied previ
ous to his death. Bryant said that the
company had not compelled Miss Cur-
tis to pav the rent, but admitted that
she had done so.
The Rev. Dr. Eaton of the Church
of Paternity of New York asserted
that the reports of suffering at Pull
man had been greatly exaggerated.
He had visited forty houses and found
no destitution and no distress. The
men had told him that they had no
real grievances and had no real cause
for striking.

Idt-a Issaes Dlscassed.
Saratoga, N. Y., Aug. 23. The
American Bar association, of which
Judge Thomas M. Cooley of Ann
Arbor, Mich., is president, began its
seventh annual meeting here this
morning. The president being absent
by reason of illness, his address was
read by the acting president. Judge
Samuel F. Hunt of Cincinnati Its
features were as follows:
"The year which has elapsed since
the last meeting is in some very strik
ing particulars one of the most nota
ble in the history of the country, and
I think I cannot more usefully occupy
your time than by inviting your con
sideration of some of the phases of
social and public life which in a consti
tutional point ot view appear to mer
it notice. They have a bearing upon
the vital principles of onr political
institutions and seem to indicate a ne
cessity for reviewing the work of
those whom we have been accustomed
to admire and respect as the founders
of liberty' in the Western world and
for considering and judging for our
selves whether the structure they
created and which has hitherto been
the admiration of the world is worthy
of the praise it has received. The ex
perience of the year has taught us, if
we needed the lesson, that times
may ana win come when the
fact that for a century political
institutions which have had benificent
operation and the excellence of
whose principles has seemed unques
tionable to those who have enjoyed
them may perhaps no longer be ac
cepted as conclusive evidence of their
consistency with true liberty or with
the highest good of a free people.
The careless or interested criticism
of one whose political following seems
to be discontented with whatever of
government now exists may suffice
to put our constitutional struc
ture under suspicion and the out
cry of persons who not unlikely
are so new to our country that they
speak but imperfectly its language
and can not read a clause of its con
stitution may be enough to raise in
the mind of one who courts their
favor doubts, real or pretended,
whether the freedom we are supposed
to enjoy is more than nominal. When
such a time comes the most funda
mental principles may be in need, not
merely oi tacit acceptance, out ot a
defense that shall consist in active and
aggressive warfare upon those who in
disorderly or unconstitutional ways
assail them.
THE COMMONWEAL MOVEMENT.
"I shall first refer to that extraor
dinary spectacle witnessed early in
the year of considerable bodies of
men collected in various sections of
the country under the leadership of
persons who assumed military titles
and who proposed to march upon
Washington. The thought actuating
the movement was that the coaatry
of their birth, er which they had
selected to live is, owed tfceitt the
duty to see that the Hwass ot
support were provided theaa, tmi. thr&
the government mast perform this
duty. No attention, seems to have
been taken by them of the apportion
ment of powers' between the states
and the general governments the
states were passed unnoticed, though
to one -familiar with our institutions
it was plain enough that the duty in
sisted upon, if it existed at all, must
rest upon the states and the armies
marched directly upon the national
capitol to demand the action of
the general government. These
vagrant bands marched across the
country to the great deteriment
of its" industrial life. While they
pretended to represent the doctrine
that the government was under obli
gation to provide for its people the
means whereby a comfortable living
might be had, they found sympathiz
ers among those temporarily out of
employment, and also among other
well-meaning people who had of the
true functions of government only
vague and unsettled notions. They
caused unrest everywhere, and as
they represented notions which are
antagonistic to the existing social and
political state, they were everywhere
a public danger.
THE BOYCOTT AND STBIKE.
"During the summer just past the
country witnessed a great and disas
trous boycott and strike of railroad
workmen. The cause was not any
controversy over their own wages or
about their treatment by their em
ployers; it was a sympathetic move
ment, so-called. One question fairly
arising and which has hitherto re
ceived but slight attention concerns
the 'rights, legal and equitable, of
those who were to be affected and
raises the question whether, under
piinciples supposed to prevail where
free government exists, the strike as
against them could be fully justified
without careful consideration of its
probable effect upon their interests
being first hud, and, if practicable, an
opportunity given them to urge rea
sons from their own standpoint
against it being entered upon. I un
derstand very well that in the case of
the ordinary strike or boycott entered
upon for the purpose of redressing an
wrong or to prevent one
is threatanea, the case is to a
considerable extent. different. Such
a case partakes of the nature of
self defense and incidental injury to
third parties, if it is unavoidable,
is excused on that ground. But there
was nothing of the nature of self de
fense here. In this case innocent
parties who must necessarily suffer
not only had no opportunity to pro
test, but their losses werj not taken
into account as reasons against the
boycott and strike. On the contrary
they were looked upon as favorable
features, since they rendered success
more probable. But a sympathetic
strike is bad in morals and must be
quite as bad in policy, when the prob
able injury to innocent parties will
exceed" the probable be'nelit to the
parties it aims to assist.
Governor Altgeld's protest against
the president sending federal troops
to Chicago is condemned and the
president's course upheld. Speaking
of arbitration Judge Cooley says:
"Our statesmen leaders will never
overlook the fact that there is one
class of strike that can never be set
tled by arbitration. That is the sym
pathetic strike and the reason is plain;
the parties to the strike are not the
parties to the controversy that needs
to be settled, and if the sympathizers
are held 'justified the original quarrel
still remains undetermined. A find
ing made t' a oriven numbar of arbi
trators-s. to the merits of the origin
al controversy in such a case would
be an idle fulmination of opinion,
having- behind it no force of law and
going-no further to fix a moral obli
gation npon any party concerned than
would a like expression by any other
equal number of equally intelligent
members of the community."
REDUCING FORCES.
Barlhtgtoa hi Xearaska Cattlag Dswa
Ksafdoyos Vaioa Faellc Will Fallosr.
Omaha, Neb., Aug. 23. Necaslcia
railroads are reducing forces. This is
partly due to the drought, though it
has been going on in some lines for
some time. A Burlington official yes
terday, in speaking about the whole
sale discharge of employes now going
on. said:
"I believe it would be a codserva
tive estimate to say that 1,200 men on
the Burlington system have been dis
charged since June 1. During July
the greatest number of employes were
dismissed from service through no
fault of their own, but because busi
ness would not warrant their further
continuance. Wherever possible
forces are being reduced, section
crews being cut down, train men are
given service letters, shop and round
house men are being laid off and
clerks in the various offices are re
quired to work additional time. In
fact wherever possible salaries are
being saved and forces reduced. It is
impossible where to say this whole
sale decapitation will end."
But the Burlington is not alone ia
reducing forces. It is pretty general
ly thought the Union Pacific will also
make another reduction in forces.and
even salaries may be cut if the court
can be brought to that way of think-injr.
A CALL FOR AID.
Issaes a rroda-
The Governor of Illinois
mation.
Chicago, Aug. 23. Governor Alt
geld has issued the following procla
mation: To tne People of the State of Illinois,
and Especially Those of the City of
Chicago.
There is great distress growing oat
of the want of food in and around the
town of Pullman. More than 1,000
families, or in the neighborhood of
0,000 people are utterly destitute
nearly four-fifths of them are women
and children. The men have endeav
ored to get work, but were unable to
do so. As a rule the men are a super
ior class of laborers industrious and
steady and some of them have worked
for the Pullman company more than
ten years. Those who have been
given work can get food, but are still
in such an impoverished condition
that they cannot help their neighbors
if they would. The relief society is
unable teret more supplies. On last
Saturday it gave to each family two
pounds of oat meal and two pounds of
corn meal and having nothing left it
suspended operations, leaving the
people in an absolutely helpless con
dition. The county commissioners of
Cook county, as overseers of the poor,
have rendered some assistance, but
owing to the limited appropriation
they can furnish relief but for a short
time.
We can not now stop to inquire the
cause of this distress. The good peo
ple of this state cannot allow women
and children by the hundred to perish
of'haager. I, therefore call npon all
hnmane aad charitably disposed citi
zens to eeatribate what they can
toward giriag relief of these people.
Tiie' governor has also sailed on the
commissioners of Cook eonxty tedd'all-v
in their power in the matter.
