COMMITTED FOR CONTEMPT.
Crank or Criminal Let Him Have Time
For Reflection.


For Reflection.
CLEVELAND, O., September 1.-THE
crank who was arrested on Monday
night for prowling around the resi-
dence OF Mrs. Garfield had a hearing be-
fore Judge Hutchins at the Police Court
this morning. The usual questions as to
his name, residence, ETC., were met with
eyasive answers. When asked whether he
int nded to shoot Mrs. Carried or hurt
any one, he replied that he might
or that he might not. After half
an hours useless questioning by the
Prosecutor, Judge Hutchins took him In
hand and gave him 10 understand that he
must answer the questions put TO him,
and proceeded himself to put some OF
them. The 'crank" laughed and in-
formed the Judge that he would answer
as many OF the questions as he liked, and
according to his own pleasure. The
Judge told the prisoner he would commit
him for contempt unless he gave salts
factory answers, to which the crank re-
piled:
"All right; commit. would as soon
be locked up as to answer any OF the
questions you have asked"
The Judge then ordered him com mitted
for contemp. until Thursday next.
Mr.. J. H. Rhodes. personal frie nd Of
the Garhelds, says that he has seen the
man before, and that he Is from an Ea st
ern city. The name he did not choose to
give just at present. The prisoner Is
about Atty years Of age.

TENDERYRE

ClOCh.
The recent long continued south wind,
while it distressed nearly everything eI.
cept corn, came just in time to insure an
enormous yield, and put quietus for 1884
on the crop croakers. Upon the strength
Of this good weather, the Northwestern
railroad system hiss gained many investors,
aud doubtless they have bought to stay.
The first really great material mishap of
the season-the Cleveland fire will, un-
der the peculiar working of over supply
and false fears on the part of buyers, act a.
= tonic on our industrial and distributive
system. The country is worse off by sever
al millions on account of that FIRE, but it is
q medicine that will make the pulse of bus
iness stronger, and force purchasers where
none had been dreamed Of. The fall trade
10 increasing in q modest aud healthful
way, thoroughly in keeping with hardpsn
times. The money exchanges grow with
leach week. Dry goods, iron, lumber, and
hog products are moving, and there is q
brisk aud unsatisfed demand for many
other articles Of trade. Holders having
learned they can sell, no longer desire any
thing at present prices. This country can
not afford to call itself badly of now. 1t il
should settle down to that belief, ii would
be sign that gamblers aud defsulters, and
not the crops, determined the economic
state OF the nation.

MATTER OF BUSINESS

- It should, now be pretty generally
known that the organized w5rkingmen
of this city are boycotting the firm Of
Appel & Co., because they refuse to rec
ognize the tailors' union, and are the
ayowed friends Of cheap labor. Every
workingman in this community ought to
take pains to teach this arrogant firm a
lesson, by refusing to purchase anything
from them- e..
If the workingmen do not exercise
their power whenever they have an op-
portunity they need never attempt to
obtain recognition of their rights by
unscrupulous capitalists. Therefore, il
is necessary that every energy be strained
in this fight between Appel 4 Co., and
the tailors' society, and THE ENQUIRER
particularly requests its readers to dc
their duty in this affair.
Officers of unions and assemblies Of
the Knights of Labor are urged to call
the attention of their members to this
matter at every opportunity, and to in
sist that no stone be left unturned to win
this first real and positive struggle the
organized working people of Denver
have been compelled to take part in.

would result in the total demolition OF

clean reform party could wipe the old

the earth. OF course this is q politicians

reformers Will keep banging away at the
ballot box, it is time they adopted plans
to win.
8. 1t is well known that THE ENQUIRER
has little faith in the ballot at present,
but it has the good sense to see that adj
vantages have been and are still taken

Mr.. Chidester is good, clear headed

the past, and which he advocates for the
future, will be overwhelmed IN a bloody
revolutio n. If anything is to besacoem-
pills he'd by the ballot, means must be
adopted to unite all the independent re-

sTORMS AHEAD.

1t is firmly believed by great many
that the submission OF the Union Pacific
company to the will of its employees a
few weeks ago meant more than ap-
peared upon The surface. The directory
made blunder in the manner of at
tempting the reduction, and a temporary
surrender was all that could be made at
that time. +.
Mr.. Dillon and his associates say that
the running expenses Of the road are too
great and that reduction must be made
at once. They further say that the only
place where reduction is possible is ID
the wages of employees, and cut in that
direction is absolutely necessary at once.
Whether these statements be true or
not is an open question; but one thing
is dead certain, and that is that the wages
OF the employees will be ordered reduced
whenever the managers think they can
force it. 1t is only a question of posi-
bilities with the big guns at all times
and if the employees can be crowded
down in their wages without causing q
stoppage in the operation of the road
down they will 90. The quicker the
men understand this fundam entail prin.
ciple of corporation greed, the sooner
will they know where they stand, and
begin to fortify themselves against the
