The strike of one thousand en-
ployes of Studebaker's wagon
works, South Bend, Ind, for an
increase of wages, causes the Steu-
benville Gazette to remark:
"The low wages paid by this
company became generally known
during the campaign of 1884, when
the firm jumped into the breach
for Blaine and declared that unless
the Plumed Knight should be elect
ed, the country would go to the
demnition bow vows, wages would
come down because the tariff would
be reduced, and sadness would ov-
erspread the land. The firm posed
as great friends to the working PEG.
pie during that campaign, but il
was all for effect, for it has been
shown by the strike that they care
nothing for the working people
except to get rich off their labors
A majority of the men get less than
$1.15 per day, and many with fam.
lies to support get but Is cents
per day. The Studebakers IT FINE
people to pose as friends of labor
They pay starvation wages and &C
about the country telling the work
ing people that the tariff is a grea
boon to them; that it keeps VI
wages, and makes them happy"

1t is a pity if it is true that there
was a rush of Congressman to Sc
cure assignments to the committee
which accompanied Senator Mil
ler's remains to San Francisco. 1t
is asserted that not less than sew
enty members of the House signi-
fed, in one way OF another, their
willingness to accompany the four
or five Senators who made this
trip to the Pacific coast. The cali
bre of Congressman is becoming
entirely too common.

The Washington correspondent
of the Chicago Inter Ocean says,
there have been rumors current a.
bout Washington that Mr.. Blaine
was using his influence to defeat
the purpose of the Republican eau
Gus and cripple Edmunds in the
fight with the President. These re
ports are founded upon the para
graphs in Blaine's book which
were read by Mrs. Kenna the other
day, and upon the statements made
here by Joseph Marley, formerly
Postmaster at Augusta, and an in
innate friend of Mr.. Blaine. Man
ley says that the latter does not ap-
prove of the position the Republi-
cans have taken, that he believes
that the President is right and the
Senators wrong, and that, both as
a legal proposition and a matter o.
party policy, the Republican pro
gramme is impracticable. Mr.. Man
ley is expressing himself with grea-
freedom on this subject and pre-
tends to speak by authority. HI
has been here a good deal this win
ter in Washington now, but othe
friends of Mr.. Blaine say that he i
simply garrulous, and is :talkin!

Every Senator and Representative
is morally bound to apply all his time
and talents to the service of the coun-
try. He is paid his salary by the
year and his contract covers all his
time. He has no time to waste it in
Improbable discussion. He has no
right to steal any part of it from the
lawful service Of the people. Pro-
tracted sessions of Congress made SO
by party discussions are expensive,
and the people should hold response
BILE the men who bring them about.
The Republican party should be held
tors now in wasting time and public
money in a fruitless endeavor to make
party capital at the public expense.

SOME FRAUD.
IC.eveland Plain Dealer.

The Republican newspapers have
all at once lost interest in the in
vestigation of Cincinnati election
methods. They no longer trouble
themselves to print the testimony
under big headlines. They are ven
beginning to suggest in a ~plaintive
way that it might be just rs well to
stop the investigation, and they
have no hesitancy in saying that
they have had enough.
Nevertheless the investigation
will go on. 1t is beginning to de-
velop peculiar interest as looked at
from a Democratic standpoint.
The frauds committed by the truly
good Republicans, who have been
proclaiming their own holiness and
the exceeding sinfulness of the
Democrats with great vigor and
pertinacity have begun to appear.
In the recount of the ballots Of
precinct B, Twenty-third ward, one
of the saintliest of the Republican
wards, the fact was brought out
that twenty votes had been fraudu-
lently added to thevote of each Re-
publican candidate for senator.
That is, each of the fourF Republi-
can senatorial candidates had
twenty votes more than there were
ballots in the box, or names on the
tally sheet.
The count of ballots in the box
showed the following vote for the
Republican candidates
Hardacre 191
Kirchner : 100
Richardson 1872
McGill 1872
This was the honest vote. The
vote returned by the Republican
election board was:
Hardacre 211
Kirchner = 21O
Richardson PIP
McGill PIP
Whence it appears that the vote of
each of the four was raised twenty
by the addition of that many
fraudulent votes.
This is a clean and apparent
steal and an attempt to commit
fraud that admits of no explana-
ton OF excuse. These twenty votes
were added with deliberate intent
to commit fraud, and the men who
did it are the men who have been
loudest in proclaiming that all the
election frauds in Cincinnati were
Democratic frauds. ,
This is only the beginning. No
doubt this instance is but one of
many. The investigation must go
