HarrisOn's Treatment of Merrill.


Strange to say, Gen. Harrison has seen fit TO
ignore the soldier element in lndiana-an ele-
ment that is more sensitive than any other
which he will have to handle. ID. NJ. Ransdell,
appointed marshal OF the District of Columbia,
was only private in Harrison's regiment and
was appointed not on that account but because
of his industrious Harrisonism through many
years. In selecting him and appointing the un-
known drummer, Hildebrand the collector of
customs, a slap was made direct at Mr.. Samuel
Merrill, who succeeded Harrison as colonel of
the Seventeen regiment and who was thought
to be booked for a good home Office.
The treatment of Merrill, who is of one of the
oldest families in central Indiana and an hon.
orable and creditable gentleman, assumes large
proportions here in Indianapolis, where there
is clearly defined conjunction of society and
politics. Merrill was thought to have clear
way to the postoffice, but in order to please
Ben hur' Wallace, who would accept nothing
for himself William Wallace was appointed
and Merrill ignored. So here at the capital the
ex-soldiers and the old citizens (the latter hav-
ing great dignity ard prestige for anew country
are grumbling over the neglect of Merrill,
while such appointments as that of Collector
Hildebrand are troubling the hearts of the
loyal henchmen.

HE COKE s1RIkE ENDED.
A Victory For the DIen at an Adyance-work
VIII BE Resumed.

EvERsoN, Pa, Aug. S-The great coke
strike is ended with a victory for the men at al
advance OF u per cent. This was brought about
by a conference of the labor leaders, which
lasted all day with the three large coke firms
II. G. Prick & Co., j. NJ. SHOEMAKER & Co.
and the Mcclure coke company. This lis 95 cents
per hundred for mining and 50 cents per
100 bushels charged for drawing. All
other wages will be in proportion. There
is to be no discrimination made against
the men engaged in the strike. All are
to have their old positions back. The agree
ment is to last six months whether coke ad-
vances or declines, and either party is to give
thirty days notice TO terminate the agreement.
kilograms and couriers are now being sent out
to the different works, and to-morrow's rising
sun will witness a general resumption of work,
thus averting what promised to be the most de-
termned strike that was ever known in the re-
gion. Semi-official notice has been received by
the miners conference committee that w. J.
Riney A c. Overholt & Co, ]. K. Staufier &
Co., b. +. Keister & Co., Pennsville coke COM
pany and A. c. Cochran coke company will
accede TO the compromise and will sign the
agreement. The cookers are generally well
pleased and tonight there is rejoicing through
out the region.
SCoTTsDALE, Pa. Aug. 9.-The Hungarians
at Norwood refused to GO to work this morning
because they did not understand that the strike
was settled. Hearing that the Alice and Bes-
semer works were running they formed a howl
ing mob OF about 500 and started
off for these plants. The men
at the Alice mines were warned in time
and fled. Upon reaching the tipple the mob
tore boards off and started coal wagons down
the slope to wreck them and block the entrance,
so that no coal could be hosted. They then
went to Bessemer, and on the way met John NJ.
Dagion, who was riding in a buggy. lie tried
to persuade them to stop and return to work,
but the infuriated mob overturned his buggy
and beat and cut him so badly that
his life is despaired OF. The Huns reached
Bessemer and went to the house of
an old man, who was beaten and the windows
of his house broken. A man named Love was
also caught at the pit, and treated in the same
manner. They next made descent upon the
store, and after breaking the windows and
doors in carried of all the bread and bologna
they could find on the premises. By this time
Secy WalshhOrn appeared. He addressed the
Huns, and finally succeeded In making them
understand that the strike was over and in
their favor. The Huns then returned to their
homes

The Republican Brigadiers.


President Harrison has placed the patronage
of the Old Dominion In the hands of Gen. Will
lam Malone, who followed the fortunes of the
Confederacy from Bull Run to Appomattox.
Most of the federal appointments so far made
in Virginia have been given TO ex-rebel repub-
licans, for the faction headed by Malone is
composed largely of former Confederates. The
latest appointment from Virginia is that of W.
c. Elan to the chief OF the railway division of
the land office. Elan was a rebel private.
Other important places have been lately filled
by ex-Confederates as follows:
Lewis f. Parsons, L. S. attorney for the Mid
die district of Alabama.
Beverly Tucker, u. $. commissioner to Hayti.
Charles Headley, receiver Of public moneys
at Huntsville, Ala.
Marshall NJ. Mott, L. s. attorney Of West

regarding amount Of Mrs. Harrison's contribution
Yours, very truly, ;. TYDEMAS.
The best proof that Grover Cleveland geye
s. and Mrs. Harrison 10 cents is from the Inns
OF Miss Annie Pyle, who received the contribu-
lions, and also from the lips of her father, f..
NJ Pyle, whose honor and standing in this
community has never been questioned. The
Cleveland epistle has been published in the
columns OF the Herald, and we en-
deavored to get that Of Mrs. Harrison's

CAPTURED BY NEW YORK.
The Atalantas Capture the Big Event OF
the Pullman Regatta.


the Pullman Regatta.
CHICAGO. Aug. 9.-The big event of the
Pullman regatta was captured by the New
Workers to-day in spite of BostOns best efforts.
Record-mashing in three other races and close
finishes throughout made the day doubly
memorable. The climax of interest was
in the race between the two famous eight
Dared crews, the Atalsntas of New York and
the Bradfords OF Boston. Considerable money
was up on the result, the odds being $40 to SO
on ATLANTA. Neither club wasted time about
the stand. but answered the referees whistle
and made for the starting point, one and one
half miles away. Five minutes after being in
position the two crews were Oft The Bradfords
took the water first, and held small lead at the
half mile. They also held the lead at the three
quarter. The Bradfords started out with
thirty-eight stroke, but lowered to thirty-four
at the mile, while the Atalantas kept up
thirty-fOur all the way through. The
AtalantaG' steady stroke, even rowing, with
marvellous precision told. The Atalantas
gained the final lead, however, only when on
the last few lengths of the finish. Here the
Bradfords tried to forge ahead, while the Alta
lantas never changed their stroke. The Brad
fords made grand struggle, but their style of
rowing defeated them. and the New York crew
crossed the line just half a length ahead. The
time was: Atalantas, al; Bradfords 7:44.
This time beats the record. the best previous
eightoared time being 1865 on a running
river (the Charles) at Boston.

WHY Huston was Appointed.


Illusions appointment to the Office of treas
urer was a good deal like the appointment OF
Ransdell to the district marshalship, and the
two are the same kind of republicans. Huston
is a rich manufacturer at Connersville and has
politics for "fad" As chairman Of the state
central committee he was in the line of promo
ton, but his selection did not please any large
number of Indiana republicans Hustons per.
souality is not pleasing and his friends seem to
be few. Indeed. his appointment was altogether
in the nature of reward for services rendered,
and its effect will be OF no value to the admins
tration. The Office is too important for the in
the new treasurer in some smaller place. No
body in Indiana was anxious for his appoint
ment to anything.

DR.. Bayless was well and favorably known
in this city. For several years he had charge
OF Roberts Park church, the pulpit of which he
filled with great acceptsbility. He was very
popular with his people and with all who knew
him. While he was not perhaps to be classed
with the greatest preachers of the methodist
pulpit he occupied a most creditable posi-
ton as pulpit orator, correct thinker and a
sound theOlogian. His editorial career after
he left Indianapolis and took charge of the

self and his influence felt thoroughly in the
editorial chair as he did when in charge of
the several churches to which he so creditabiy
and ably ministered. During his residence in
this city he went abroad visiting England, Ire
land. Scotland and other European countries.
His letters during his absence and the lectures
delivered after his return were intensely inter
esting, rejecting the cultured intellect and his
wonderful powers of observation. The many
friends of DR.. Bayless in Indiana will be greatly
grieved to hear of his untimely taking of.

ANOTHER BIG FIRE AT FORT WAYNE.
Several Handsome Business Edifices De-
stroyed. with a Loss of 500. 600.

FORT WAYNE, Aug. 7.-lSpecial-l - At
o'clock this evening the business portion Of the
city visited by disastrous coniagration,
entailing loss of about ninety thousand dol
lars, wrecking three of the finest store build
ings in the city and destroying most of the
stocks of the occupants. The fire was con-
fined to the block of three four-story marble
buildings, 10 feet in length, two of them
owned by the Trentman estate and the third by
the Wagner estate. The fire originated in the
third floor of the building occupied by Renner,
Cratsley Co., booksellers and dealers
in wall paper, stationery, etc On that
floor was stored large quantity of fireworks,
which exploded and scattered the flames in
every direction. From the lower floor to the
roof was large sky-light well, which served as
ladder Of fire, speedily carrying destruction
to all of the floors. The building was immedi-
etely opposite the courthouse and within
short block of the central engine-hOuse, but
it happened that the department horses were
at the time of the fires discovery being exer-
cised on the streets and many valuable minutes
were lost before the hremen could begin work.
By this time the flames had gained so much
Roadway that the destruction of the entire half
square was generally predicted by the thou
sands of people who focked TO the scene. At
o'clock Renner, Cratsley & Co.'s roof fell in.
By this time the flames had communicated to
the companion building on the north, also
owned by the Trentman heirs, and occupied by
stern, Mantner q treidllch, clothlers-oest
known as "Sam, Pete & Max" The flames
spread also to the marble building to
the north, owned by Mrs. H. G. Wagner, and
occupied by Louis Wolf & CO.. dry goods. The
stocks of Renner, Cratsley & Co., and Stern,
Mantner & Freidlich were almost completely
destroyed, and Lewis Wolf & Co.'S store was
Quilted. The fire was confined to these three
buildings. Renner, Crstsley & Co. will lose
10000; Insurance, $50 600; Lewis Wolf & Co.will
lose $4,000; insurance. $4,000; Stern, Mant-
ner & Fredlich will lose $40, 600; insurance,
$25O00. The loss on the Trentman buildings
is $1,000. The walls have been saved. The

Jersey City, Aug. 3
1t strikes us that the burden of proof and of
argument is on the other side of this question.
Why has not protection prevented the terrible
state of affairs in northern Illinois, truthfully
depicted by the Worlds correspondent?
Last year the miners OF that region joined
no doubt at the instigation of the mine-owners
in republican parades. They bore banners
with the familiar device: Protection fills the
dinner-pail." Protection was assured for flour
Another inscription read: Protection makes
wages high" Why were the wages of these
miners reduced II per cent within a month
after Harrison's Inauguration.
In regard TO the direct effect of the tariff in
producing or intensifying this suffering it may
be said that duty of "only IS cents ton" is
equal to about half the price of the soft coal at
the mines. A duty which shuts out Nova
Scotia or Canada coal, and enables "A combina-
ton TO control the home market put it in the
power of this monopoly arbitrarily TO fix wages
and to put upon coal "all the price that the
market will bear" as one of the Pennsylvania
coal barons testified to doing. A tariff of AZ
per cent. upon imported necesssries surely in
creases the cost of living to the miners and
makes the most meager saving an impossibility.
But the question tor which Mr.. A. P. Brown
should seek an answer is "Why has protection
not prevented the reduction of wages in the
Illinois coal fields, in Carnegie's iron-works,
and in scores of other favored industriesw
