Pitt in jail at Washington for tread

iu congrebs, as has been the case with
Coxey, does not fall to the lot of main

This country will not always or for
long play into the hands of English
capitalists, by issuing our interest
learing bonds when there is no need for
it. Give ns our own good silver and a
protective tariff with reciprocity attach

Geokoe T. Anoeli., presidont or the
American Humane Society, is out in an
article advocating a ship canal from
Chicago to tho Mississippi river, another
from opposite Chicago to Detroit; the
enlarging of tho Erie to a ship canal
from Buffalo to Albany; another across
upper Florida from tho Gulf of Mesico
'to'SCSJohn's river, and thinks on these
400,000 men could bo profitably m-
Vplqyed. lie thinks also a very consider
able body of men might be profitably
employed in Washington itself, securing
better sewerage, filling tho Potomac
flats, building bridges, etc. Ilesuggests
that the construction of any more Sl.
000,000 war ships and SGO.000 cannons
(every discharge of which costs from
$00 "to S400), be postponed a year or
two. lie says if war should break out,
we could readily eouip and support
f00,000 in the field as easily as we did
thirty years ago, and why not now sup
port a number of men in peace with em
ployment for a feu months, until the
hard times pass by?
When Tramp
are ItanNlipil. the
be Helped.
Poor can
Tho way to get rid or tramps, which
has long been known and has many
times leen proved, is to make their food
and shelter depend absolutely upon
work. Last winter, the city of Balti
more rid itself of all these pests by re
fusing to give them a place to sleep ex
cept, on condition of their earning it.
Tho result was that when other cities
were overrun with tramps, Baltimore
was free of them, and thus relieved, the
city turned its attention to finding, work
for the deserving unemployed. This
work camo so near to paying for itself
that only an insignificant sum of money
was required to prevent actual suffer
ing. This interesting sociological result
has, therefore, again demonstrated, that
it is the tramp -the idler who does not
want work that causes tho demoraliza
tion in a time of distress, and prevents
the involuntary idle from finding proper
aid. A very interesting and complete
explanation of this experiment appears
in tho Juno number of the Forum, bv
Dr. E. K. L. Gould, of the John Hop
kins University, who had the direction
of this important work.
With military snobs during the war
there was a feeling of ill-will against
citizen soldiers who were promoted on
account of bravery. It is said that the
killing of Capt. Iledberg by Lieut.
Maney at Fort Sheridan, appears to
have been caused by this old feeling.
Hedberg having never attended the
military school at West Point, while
Manoy was a graduate, -an unprovoked
murder, seemingly to dispose of Hed
berg because ho had earned his position
by bravery and not by reason of West
Point intluence. Our military school,
like most human institutions", has not
been an unmixed good by any means,
but there was just enoughof that top
lofty superciliousness shown by many of
West Point's smart Alecs during "the
war to plow into the memory of the citi
.zen soldiers who wero fighting for their
country and not for "glory." that our
system of military training needs a
thorough overhauling to the end that
the principles of our government be
better recognized, and that the sons of
the republic who attend that school
shall be protected in all their just rights
against cowardly bullies or any other
class of students who chance to find
their way there.
A pamphlet cop of the speech of
Senator Cameron of Pennsylvania in the
United States senate April IS, has just
reached our table. It strikes here a
long-felt want, and wo are glad to see
that his views are being spread broad
cast. His theme is: 'Tariff and silver
are two sides of the same question."
"They are bound together by necessity.
The ono without the other must break
down. Both together are invincible.
The people of the Union, north, south,
east and west, can all understand and
unite on a national policy that unites
these two great forces. Tke feel their
interests more truly than all" tho news
papers and lecturers in the world can
teach. They will not be afraid to cut
wholly loose from Europe. They will
be glad and proud to restore silver; to
place the United States at the head of
the silver-using countries of tho world.
Such a policy would satisfy their true
instincts. With all Americaat their side
and all Asia at their back, they could
then isolate Europe and force England
to fellow or to fail. To such a policy
xariffs could offer no obstacle. The
barrier of gold would be more fatal than
-any barrier of a custom-house. The
bond of silver would be stronger than
any bond of free trade. Whatever party
first comes to this political platform will
win a victory; and it is easier for the
republicans to take this ground than
for their opponents, who have destroved
silver and are pledged to hostility
against an American policy, whether in
industry or trade. Standing on these as
supports, the United States may hope
to extend their influence over tho'world,
but so long as they narrow their ambi
tion to becoming a larger England or a
more German Germany, they can be-
- come nothing worth their trouble and
can win no markets worth having not
' even their own." The Joubxal wishes
that every voter in the land could read
- anJ-stndy this speech of the able sena-
tor, for it contains truths that are vital
. to the best interests of America.
BEACH AN AGREEMENT.
Governor Waite Settles the
Cripple Creek Strike.
HE HAS ISSUED A PBOGLAMATION.
Entire State Militia Called Upon to Go to
Cripple Creek to Aid the Sheriff Miners
to Be Paid Three Dollars for Eight
Hours' Work Dynamite Placed on a
Railroad Track to Kill Militia.
Denver, June 5. The strike at Crip
ple Creek has been settled. Late Mon
day night the conference between Gov
ernor Waite, J. J. Hagennan and David
H. Moffat arrived at an agreement,
which is satisfactory to all parlies.
The conference began at 8 o'clocK at
the request of Governor Waite. As
soon as the triumvirate assembled, Gov
ernor Waite announced that he was
authorized to act for the miners and
consideration of the various points was
immediately begun. But one point
caused serious complication and that
was the time allowed for luncheon. The
miners demanded 30 minutes, they to be
allowed pay for the time.
The articles of agreement provide that
the miners shall work eight hours a day,
with 20 minutes for luncheon; that they
be paid at the rate of S3 a day, and that
the mine owners in employing men shall
not discriminate against either union or
nonunion miners.
At the conclusion of the conference,
Governor Waite issued a proclamation
calling upon all the people in El Paso
county who were forcibly holding the
property of others and who were bearing
arms in violation of the law to deliver
tip such property and to lay down their
arms. The entire state militia is called
upon to go to Cripple Creek, El Pato
county, and aid the sheriff iu restoring
order.
MINERS READY TO DEAL OUT DEATH.
Cripple Creek Striker Have Perfected
Their Defenses at Hull Hill.
CmrPLE Creek, Colo., June 3. The
strikers sjeiit Monday in perfecting their
defenses. Their forces were increased
by 800 men, who came from the direc
tion of Pueblo. Women and children
have been streaming towards this place
from Victor and Altman. The miners
have loaded beer kegs with dynamite,
6crap irou and railroad spikes, and have
placed them on the crests of Globe Hill
and Battle Mountain. Tho defensive
movements of the strikeis have been de
cided upon and are about as follows:
Mounted bcouts, who are spread out in
all directions, upon discovering the ad
vance of the deputies will hasten to
camp with the information. A prear
ranged fcignal will be tounded on the
steam whistle at Pike's Peak mine,
when the striker will take their desig
nated position?. The skirmishers will
fall back slowly, keeping the deputies
engaged, until they reach the barricades
erected at the foot of Bull Hill. Behind
the barricades the strikers will make a
stand, defending themselves with guns
and bombs.
If driven from the barricades they
will hasten up the slope to the fort.
Should the deputies follow them the
dynamite mines which have been planted
at every few yards will he exploded.
Cannons and bombs will simultaneously
deal out death from the fort.
DYNAMITE PLACED ON THE TRACK.
Miners Attempt to Wreck a Truln Carry
ing Several Companies of Militia.
Terrc Haute. Ind., Juno 5. Four
pounds of dynamite was placed on the
track of the Evansville and Terre Haute
railroad Monday evening by striking
miners. The terrible explosive was
placed on the track in front of the train
bearing several companies of militia
under General McKee. This was at a
point a few miles south of Farmersburg,
between here and Shellburn. Orders
had been given the militia to escort a
train load of coal past the several min
ing camps. The coal train went ahead,
followed 13' the train with the militia.
After proceeding about a mile the coal
train came to a stop, having been
6topped by an obstruction on the track.
In ambush in the heavy thickets on
each side of the track were 200 miners.
It was their purpose to capture the coal
train. The disembarkment of the troop
was immediately lx?gun, and General
McKee ordered tho troops to try to sur
round the miuers, but tho maneuver
failed, as the miners scattered. The
wreckage on the track was removed and
the coal train was sent on. Four dj-na-mite
bombs were found near Shellburn
and forced off the track by the trains
without exploding. A coal train was
captured by the miners and run to Alum
Cave, where the strikers have a strong
hold. The militia will attempt to recap
ture the train.
Ilrldcc Burned by Strikers.
Cleveland, June 5. Not a train was
moved on the Cleveland, Lorraine and
Wheeling road Monday owing to bridges
being burned by strikeis. For three
weeks this road has been the only source
of fuel supply to local mills and factor
ies. Unless the traffic is resumed on the
road within two or three days hundreds
of establishments must close down. The
Lake Shore and Nickel Plate roads have
also been supplied from the same source
and many trains on these roads will be
abandoned unless coal can be obtained
promptly. The Cleveland, Lorraine and
Wheeling road will attempt to resnme a
portion of the traffic immediately.

Washington, June 5. The arid land

$$5,000 for
DISCUSS THE SUGAR SCHEDULE.
Speeclies Made Senators Vest and Allison
From DiflVrent Points of View.
Washington, June 5. Thirteen sena
tors, six Democrats and seven Republi
cans, were in the senate room Monday
when the senato entered upon tho tariff
bill. Senator Hoar suggested the ab
sence of a quorum and "0 minutes were
spent wanting the presence of 47 senators
necessary to proceed. A resolution pro
viding for tho payment of the expenses
of the bribery and other investigating
committees out of th contingent fund
vas adopted. The tariff bill was taken
up, the sugar schedule pending. Senator
Vest took the iloor and made a brief ex
planation concerning the controverted
point in latt Saturday's debate as to the
existence of tho sugar trust in 1S90.
Senators Aldrich and Sherman had
contended that the present trut was not
in existence and that its stock was not
listed on the New York stock board.
Senator Vest produced tome authorities
to show that t,i2C,00i) shares of the
stock of the sugar re "img company
were sold on the market in New York in
ISIiO, which at $100 per share represented
$SOO,000,00. He had as much right to
insinuate that the sugar trust dictated
the sugar schednlo in the McKinley bill
as senators on the other side had to im
pugn the action of the inajorit' in the
present congress.
Allison (Ia.) followed Vest with an
elaborate sjieech on the sugar schedule.
It was, h said, by far the most impor
tant provision of the bill. It afforded
one-third of the revenue produced by the
bill. He declared, according to numer
ous authorities, sugar could be refined
cheaper here than in Germany and some
other European countries. Tho schedule
practically would prohibit the importa
tion of refined sugars. It was not a
schedule for protection, but prohibition.
Jones (Ark.) followed with a detailed
explanation of the sugar schedule. He
denied that the McKinley bill had given
the people one ounce of free sugar. By
imposing a duty of six-tenths of a cent
on refined sugar, it had taxed
the people $-2,000,000, all of which
went into the pockets of
the refiners. Besides $1.000,000
bad to be paid out of the treasury in the
form of sugar bounties, so the total sugar
tax on the people of the United States
amounted to &J8,000,00(i, of which not
one dollar had gone into the xeueral
treasury. The duty which it was pro
posed to impose by this bill, he said,
would cost the people about $5j.00(,00i,
of which 50,000,000 would go iuto the
treasury, $0,000,000 to the planters in the
form of protection and $G,000,000 to the
refiners, who would get but one-fourth
of what they got under the present law.
Hoar did not believe his constituents
would understand the complicated
mathematics of the sugar schedule, but
he said they would understand that the
party which promised them free raw
material, free coal, iron ore, lead ore,
free sugar, etc., had betrayed New En
gland by striking down their industries
in order to build up those of the south.
Piatt (Conn.), who followed Aldrich, de
nounced in bitter and caustic words the
surrender of th Democratic majority to
the suirar trust.
Not Contemplating a Bond l4ue.
Washington, June 5. It can be stated
on the highest authority that the pub
lished statements that another bond issue
is in contemplation are absolutely with
out foundation. Mr. Carlisle when
questioned regarding the matter stab'd
the subject of another bond issue had not
been mentioned in the cabinet and he
liau nelit no conference with the presi-
uent regaruing n. xnecasn natance m

SEYMOUR FOR
MURDER.
Father-In-
Supposed
to Hare Killed HU
Law, O. F. Fifleld.
Cedar Rapids, la., June 5. In the
district court at Anamosa will be tried
one of the most interesting cases which
have ever engaged the attention of the
court of Jones county. It is the case of
the state against Emmet Seymour for
the murder of George Fifield, his father-
in-law. Shortly after the marriage of
Seymour to Fifield's daughter the old
gentleman was found one evening lying
on the railroad tracks, near his home, in
an unconscious condition. He had been
struck in the head by some blunt instru
ment, and died without regaining con
sciousness. A few months later Seymour was dis
covered in the act of stealing lumber
after night. Upon further investigation
it was found he had been the chief actor
in a long series of petty thefts, which had
long perplexed Anamosa business men.
The discovery of these crimes, and the
fact that the stolen property was con
cealed about Seymour's house, caused
people to think that the man had been
the cause of Fifield's death, the suppo
sition being that Fifield had discovered
Seymour's crime and threatened expo
sure. Seymour was tried for various
theft3 and sent to the penitentiary for
three years. That sentence having been
stayed, he is now to be tried for murder.
Van Leaven and Kesael Indicted.
Dubuque, June S. A special term of
the United States court was held here
Monday to dispose of demurrers in the
Van Leuven and Kessel pension fraud
cases. Judge Shiras sustained the de
fendant's demurrer in the case in which
Van Leuven was sole defendant and Dr.
Kessel is sole defendant, but they were

IOWA CORN CROP BEING DESTROYED.
Small Worm Devastating the Fields by
Killing tho Germ.
Webster Citt, la., June 5. A small,
yellow worm, about an inch long, and
resembling the black thousand-legged
worm that is usually found in decayed
timber, has made its appearance in the
cornfields in this section and is creating
havoc with tho coming crop. It is
thought to be a worm that thrives only
in extremely dry seasons. It is eating
the root3 of the corn and boring into the
kernels in the ground, killing the germs.
It is estimated that with copious rains
from now on, tho oat crop here will not
mature more than half and farmers are
finding it necessary to feed stock run
ning in the pastures hay.
Storm Dainacea Crops.
Fokt Scott, Kan., June 3. A dis
astrous windstorm passed through thia
county, six miles northwest of thia city.

window glass destroyed, and barns were
carried from their foundations. From
meager reports received it is learned
there were but two men seriously hurt.
The damage to crops, live stock and
orchards will be heavy.

Wholesale
Failure of Steele Walker,
Grocery House.
St. Joseph, June 5. Steele & Walker,
the largest wholesale grocery house on
the Missouri river, has gone into the
hands of a trustee. The failure grew

their residence property to secure the
liabilities. This firm was composed of

Mack Distress Prevails at Portland.
Temperature Has Fallen Tea Degrees.
Vancouver, B. C, June 5. Four
million dollars will hardly cover the pres
ent loss by the Frazer river flood and
there is not yet any signs of abatement.
The waters are still rising and, as the
warm weather continues melting the
mow in the Rockies, there is no imme
diate prospect of beginning the work of
restoration. One prominent railway of
ficial thinks the loss of life will reach 1(H),
though conservative estimates are not so
high. Bridges, trestles, tunnels and
tracking along the Canadian Pacific have
gone and the company has over 2,000
men at the scenes of danger, working
night and day. From Pre elstock to the
sea, 0 miles, along the railway, is now
a watery waste. The last point above
Vancouver which can be reached is Ruby
Creek, b'J miles. Masqni, Mission, Chil
liwack, Patsie and Langley prairies and
the towns of Harrison, Centerville, Lang
ley, Chilli wack and Mission are all under
water, not a farm building being left
standing. Fully 10,000 'cattle have per
ished. Vancouver is about shut off from the
rest of the world except by steamer.
All telegraph wires are down east and
the Canadian Pacific railroad has stopped
selling tickets, all trains being cancelled.
At Westminister the water is over the
floors of buildings and wharves. All
the mills along the water front have
been shut down for the last week.
Many houses and cabin3 in the lower
portion of the town are now floating. A
report reached hero that the dyke at
Lulu island had given away, but it has
not been confirmed. If that be true the
best agricultural district in the whole
Frazer valley will be flooded. Reports
from upper rivers state that the water is
still rising rapidly.
At Yale the water is one foot, eight
inches above the 1832 mark and still ris
ing. At North Bend a Chiuainun was
drowned. It is stated that if the watot
subsides rapidly there is a possibility ol
saving the timothy crop, while barley
and oats can also be sown.
Much Distress Prerails at Portland.
Portland, Or., June 5. The rivei
reached the .12 feet mark Monday even
ing, and is still rising. Hundreds ol
persons whose places of business are
submerged have moved out and estab
lished new temporary places. In the
lower portions of the city, where a great
many poor persons live, the condition is
most deplorable. Great numbers have
been driven out by the invading watera,
and have taken tomporary refuge where
over shelter can be found. Much dis
tress prevails, and the temperature has
fallen 10 degrees at Baker City, from
which it is surmhed that the tempera
ture has fallen over the country drained
by the Columbia and its tributaries, in
which case there is a possibility of a ces
sation of the rise.

Fergus Falls, Minn., June 3. Otter
