Yours,

Mr.. A. Il. CURTISs, Steward at the
penitentiary under Gov. HOadly's adj
ministration, stated to u reporter that
when he first went TO the institution
he was informed by Foraker's witness
Nye, who charges that canes were
made from the skin of cOnvicts, that
both Drs. Gunsaulus and ID. Gay ply
sicians at the penitentiary under Gov.
Foraker's administration, each had n
pair of slippers made from the skin OF
convicts, but no credit was placed TO
these stories; but it was left to Gov.
Foraker to become the sewer through
which these sensational charges were
made for malicious and political pur-
poses.

THE Weekly Ledger, of Tocoma,

hibition does not prohibit is COM
mon saying. This would would seem
to be true from the various accounts
from all parts of the country. Under
the local option act some of the TOWNS
of Washington Territory recently
adopted prohibition. How inOpera.

following from the Dayton columbia
county, Chronicle, showing a bad
state of affairs:
". More drunken men seen in Day

fore under our license laws. They
drank from bottles. Two little boys
reeling along in an advanced stage of
intoxication, with bottle of Whisk y

sights on the same day. It looked

IN the case of William Tanner VS..

IN the case of William Tanner VS..
the Village of Alliance, tried before
Judges Welker and Jackson in the u.
S. Circuit Court, the decision was to
the effect that the Federal Courts had
no Jurisdiction in the case. Tanner
was saloon keeper of that place,
whose citizens had voted in favor of
the prohibition of the liquor traffic as
provided by the Dow law, and under
the claim that it deprived him of his
investment in the saloon business, he
sought an injunction restraining the
authorities of Alliance from enforcing
the law, with the above result.

PROTECTION" blatherskites say
wages of labor are higher here than in
Europe, because of our enormously
high protective tariff.
Under the low Democratic revenue
tariff of 1916 wages were higher in
this country than in Europe. And
labor was better rewarded here under
that tariff than under the iniquitous
Republican tariff now.
But in free trade England labor is
better paid than it is in protected
France and Germany. Let protection
blathers explain all this-if they can.
But no-none of them ever try to meet
these points.-[Stark Co. Dem.

Frederick w. Nye, the penitenttary
convict, who is Governor Foraker's
principal witness to his disgusting
charge about skinning convicts, is one
of the most notorious criminals in the
land. He is horse thief, and is now
serving q fifteen years term in the
penitentiary for that crime. There
are enough indictments pending
against him to keep him in prison for
n life time. He is fit chum for Ohio's
" reform Governor
Saranac, another penitentiary bird
whom Foraker has called to his aid in
his dirty business, is a hardened and
utterly depraved wretch, who, after
narrowly escaping lynching, was sent
up from Erie county. He stands con-
victed of rape in the most aggravated
and atrocious form, and also of the
still more inhuman offense of incest
with his own daughter. To these
crimes he virtually added murder by
brutally beating and distiguring his
poor wife, until at length, and as her
only means of escape from his hellish
prosecutions, she committed suicide.
1t is by the testimony of such lying
scoundrels that Foraker, for base po-
litical purposes, seeks to blscken the
fair fame of Ohio citizens. Shame on
him!

"A
the Republican party it is a we'll
known fact that Powning entered
into conspiracy with the Deme-
Gratis. They submitted to him
their proposed nominees for the
Legislature. He selected such as
pleased him and rejected such as
did not, and substituted therefor
others who would do his bidding.
He has Low the patronage both as
to appointment, and trade Of the
State Prison, the Insane Asylum,
the University, and the office OF
Uaited States Surveyor General,
which he holds Under Democratic
Administration. With this pat
ronage he has been able to influence
nearly every person to whom he
has given trade or whom he has APP
pointed to place in these various
institutions which he controls. On
investigation it is ascertained that
no person is now following him in
his bolt except those that are re
ceiving tavors from him as above
stated. 1t was mystery to the
Republicans for some time as to
how he was able to hold these par
ticuiar individuals, but the explain
alton has come at last. He has
tod them that with Legislative
delegation OF his own from WasLoe
whether Democratic or Repuc-
lican-he can make suthclent
trades in the LEGISLATURE to continue
his followers in their enjoyment
of the spoils- He is opposing the
Republican Legislative nominees
because he cannot use thsm Tor
his political and financial purposes,
and Is therefore favoring the Dem
ocratic Nominees because they are
his stock in trade, by means of
which he expects to continue as
heretofore to control the entire
patronage of the State.

ic and Republican, that douot the
capacity Of Mr.. Poxniug if he

the present recipients Of the State )
bounty (dealt out to them 10y Mr.. !
Powulns). believe that he has the
capacity to he: the entire patron
age for them if he could have the
use of a Washoe delegation, and |
are working TO that end. 1t seems
hardly possible that persons who
have good Republican records
aud have bcea regarded Us honor
able citizens. heretofore, should |
sell their principles aud their honor
on promises based upon such a
hlmsy showing and intrigue so
disreputablc and treachsrous. 1t
will not do for these men to come |
before q Republican Legislature
and pretend they have voted the
Republican ticket. No one will
take their word for it unless they
exhibit their tickctsto somerespon
sible person.
We advise all who are suspected
of being mplicated in this nefxrious
scheme to secure proof on the day
Of election that they voted the Re

age that belongs to honest Repabli-

Got the Laugh on Them,

A neatly dressed colored man entered the
gallery of the New York Stock Exchange re-
comfy, to look at the session Of the brokers
below. He leaned over the rail quietly and
made no disturbance; but some of the brok-
eIs, seeing him, thought it would be funny to
insult their visitor by letting him understand
that they knew he was black Soa score or
more of them, not having anything hetter to
do, began to sing jubilee songs and mimic the
plantation dances. Their performance was
very poor. but it seemed to amuse the coiorexi
man in the gallery. who stood at his post
without any apparent discontinue. and when
the brokers were tired of singing and dancing.
he gravely put his hand in his pocket and
drew forth q ten cent piece, which he threw
to the brokers as one would pitch penny to
a aand-organ man. Then he left, with the
laugh decidedly on his side.-The Argouaut.

THE COLORED MANS
Chance to Make a Nice Livelihood.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, November 19.-The
Rev. ]. Milton Turner, the well
known colored politician, in an inter.
view, says he has become convinced
that the time has come for the colored
people to seek some other means than
politics for the betterment of their
condition. He believes that the ne
groes must be redistributed through
out the country, and has a plan for
the formation of q colony in Missouri,
in Butler county. In that county,
Charles P. Chouteau has set aside 49,
0O0 acres Of fertile, heavily timbered
lands. Located in the vicinity are
sawmills representing investments of
100000. Purchasers of homes will
be paid IS cents per 1000 for cutting
logs on their own lands, II cents per
foot for cutting and peeling pie', and
10 cents each for making railroad ties
The lands arc to be sold for from
SO to So per acre; all timber except
what is to be used for fences and
buildings is reserved; one-third
of the purchase money to be
paid in cash, when a deed will be
given, and the purchaser to give notes
bearing 8 per cent. interest for the
balance. Where the purchaser can
not pay onesthird down he may pay
what he likes aud Immediately occu-
py the land, but no deed will be given
until the third is paid. Carpenters
will at once begin the erection of ten
or fifteen houses, but after settlers
begin to arrive in numbers they will
build their own. Already there are
several actual settlers, and Mr.. Turner
is confident the scheme will prove a
great blessing to the colored race.

the latter on the port side about amid

when near the Erie elevator, Jersey

A SHIPNRECKED CREWS
AWFUL EXPERIENCE IN TIE
ARCTIC SEAS.
Ten Days OF Misery, Without Food
or Wafer, and surrounded by
Ice-Heavy Storms.

NEW YORK, November 1S.-A spe-
cial from st. Johns, N. F., says: The
Peterhead wbsler Catherine, Capt.
Benge, left port on March Is h on g
whale and seal fishing voyage in Davis
Straits and Cumbel land Gulf. The
ships company numbered twenty-five,
The western voyage to Cope Farewell
was a succession OF terrific gales with
mountainous seas. The ship labored
much and strained heavily. The
months of July and August were
passed in vainly endesvoriDg to reach
the oil fields on September 3Oth. Toe
captain had to beech her, as the ship
was making water Iapidly and fast
settling down. Scarcely was the
whsler beached when she swung over
on a serrated reef which pierced her
bottom and sides, converting her into
a complete wreck. The boats we're
Immediately lowered and provisions,
nautical instruments and clothing
transferred, and with sails set and
oars manned, the shipwrecksd crew
set out in the hope OF crossing the
path Eof some Dundee or Newfound-
land whaler. During tsn weary days
and nights, with mesger food, no
water, nothing but ice. the Peterhead
whalers went through lerrible ordeal
from exposure to climate almost
within the Arctic circle. Clamped
in their boats and INSULT
GENTLY clothed, they sailed and
rowed from New Gonwile, where the
Catherine was besched, distance of
200 miles, till they reached Black
head Island. Here there is station
house, kept by a Russian named
Frederick. is owned by Williams
& Co., of London. A German and an
Italian were Frederick's assistants,
The shipwrecked crew were treated
with the greatest inhumanity. They
were not allowed The shelter of the
station for themselves, or clothing.
The Italian cook stealthily conveyed
to them an occasional biscuit and
cup OF coffee, and they were forced to
quarter themselves on the hospitable
Esquimaux, who shared with them
their miserable toopeks, or wigwams,
their camp fires ard their seal wa'rus
flesh. Fortunately, on the 18th of Oc-
tober, the steamer Eagle, Capt. Jack
mar, hove in sight, when signals were
made from the island. The EaRle
rapidly bNrs down from the north,
took the Peterhead whalers on board,
and arrived safely with them at st.
Johns Wednt sd-y. The Eagle was
the last of the whaling feet SO far
north, and had she unfortunately
passed in the hight or in dense fog
the whole little colony on Blacklead
Island, now numbering some fifty
souls, including the E quimaux, must
have persisted, miserably, from starva-
ton, there being less than two
months provisions on hand.
