A "HOME MARKET"
A Case Illustrating the Fallacy Of the Hom
Market idea.

A Case Illustrating the falIacy Oh the home
Market idea.
The census returns of the State OF
Connecticut offer very interesting
commentary on home market" ideas OF
the protectionists.
That ''home market" idea is thus
stated in the organ of the Protective
Tariff Leage:
In every village surrounded by farms
there should be located manufacturing es-
tablishments of some kind that will give
employment to operatives. The wants OF
these people will create demand for food,
clothing and shelter, and the product of the
farm and factory Will be ever In demand
Nothing will be wasted In transportation.
ami labor will reap the entire harvest
According to that notion State with
one or more factories in every village
ought to be particularly prosperous in
its agricultural interests. As Connecti-
cut is State whose manufacturing in
dustries are highly diversified and in
which a mill of some kind is found in
close proximity to every farming COM
munity, the State ought to furnish the
protectionist with shining example of
his home market idea. The farming
population there ought to be very pros
porous, and consequently growing in
numbers.
But what are the facts? The farming
commun ties nearest the cities of Con-
necticut arc shown by the recent CEN
sus to have lost about ten per cent oi
their population in the past ten years.
This result is arrived at by taking the
three townships lying nearest each OF
the twelve cities in the State
SO great a decline in population il
these farming districts right at th'
doors of the factories does not look yer!
encourag rg for protectionists Thei
home market theory breaks down whel
tested by experience.

ARBITRATION HEARING.
Testimony Before the Board on the
Erie Railway Trouble.
The Board Can Give an Opinion or De-
cislon Only When Both Parties
Consent to Arbitration.

The State Board of Arbitration met al
Albany, N. Y, Friday morning Mr..
Powderly did not arrived, and Messrs.
Wright and Roger A. Pryor appeared for
the Knights of Labor, and Hamilton
Harrison for the road. Division Super.
intendent Bissell, OF Albany, took the
stand, and said that all dismissals on
the New York Central were at the order
Of the third vice president, and he un-
derstood that Mr.. lie Fevre was sus-
pended for lack of attention to duty.
lje did not know that any one was
dismissed because he was Knight OF
Labor Mr.. Pryor asked for details as
to lie Fevre's neglect Of duty, and wit
ness said that he Ue Fevre) often was
seen neglecting his legitimate duty.
Witness knew that the discharged man
was Knight of Labor, but did not pay
attention to his standing. He admitted
that he thought Mr.. lie Fevre was act
i've in the Knights. Mr.. lie Fevre, tho
discharged employe, testified that he
had been in the employ of the company
oreighteen years. Mr.. Bissell discharg-
ed him, but gave no reason, telling him
he knew what for. lie supposed that it
was because he was Knight. He had
never been reprimanded, suspended, ac-
cused of drunkenness or incapacity. The
testimony of other discharged employees,
of the general tenor, was also taken.
The object of tho witnesses
was to show that they we're
discharged on account Of their con-
nection with the knights of Labor. Of
ticials OF the road testified to the dis
charge of the men for cause, in one in.
stance the cause assigned for the dis
charge of three men being that they were
bothering with committees when they
should have been at work. Commits
sioncr Purcell asked for the production
| of the agreement between the road and
the men, as heretofore published and il
was put in evidence. Both sides de.
clarod themselves through, and the
hearing was declared closed. Mr. Pur-
cell, IN closing, SAID That the public, he
thought, and the newspapers were under
the impression that the Board could
give a decision in favor of one side
or the other. That impression was
false. He wished it understood that
the law allowed the Board to give an
opinion or a decision only when both
parties consented to arbritrate. In this
case the Board would consider the testi-
mony and would make certain reommen.
dations for the amicable settlement OF
the difficulty The Board can not make
this announcement, however, but
through the Legislature and so January
will probably be the date when theft
views will become public The only ad
vantage thus far gained is in the bring
ing of the case in its true light before
the public.

WON TEN THOUSAND,
But an Old Farmer Gets Nothing
But the Laugh.
An Old Trick Played Successfully on Q
Pennsylvania Tiller of the Soil.

Johr Kindig, wealthy old farmer Of
Union Township, Adams County, Pa,
was syindled several days ago out Of
81, 400 by three-card monte men, but
only Monday told how it was done. He
met tie rascals in the usual way and
won prize of $40, 900, but was asked to
show cash for an equal sum. The
farmer had just $2,4Oo on tap, and
this sum, it was finally decided would
answer. The supposed $4,000 was
placed in tin box and handed by one
of the swindlers to Kindig's
stesrer, and the latter induced
tn, farmer to put his money in the
! sane box. The receptacle was then
paced under the seat of the buggy in
srhich they were driving, and when they
S~artad was handed to Kindig with the
injunction to keep itsQntiI the $40, 600
ran came back to get his share. After
two days the old farmer became suspici-
Gus, and, opening the box found
onlt unhusked corn and the fol-
loving letter: "MR KINDIG: You
haze been gambling; you thought you
wee getting the best of one who you
tPught was fool, but you are tho
fol. You can go tell the police if you
Will, but it will do you no good, as by

GIANT POWDER EXPLOSION.
Spokane Falls the Scene Of Another Hor-
rifyIng Disaster.


Time only heightens the horrors
wrought by the premature explosion OF
blast in the Northern Pacific freight
yards at Spokane Falls, Wash, Satur-
day night. At II p. m. the mon en-
gagged in the sad task OF taking out the
mangled victims wore forced to desist
because among the rocks which were
being cleared away were five other
blasts that might be exploded In
the task of removing the mass OF
debris that buried the victims. Up to
that hour eighteen bodies had been
taken out. There are yet twenty-seven
men unaccounted for, all Of whom are
probably buried beneath the mighty
mass of rock. The fatality was terrible.
The men wero given no chance for life.
1t was either instant death or slight in
jury There were about 200 pounds OF
giant powder in the blast. The accident
was caused by some ones carelessness.
The man in charge of the blast and
three assistants were blown to atoms.
1t is the custom to prepar.a,.
blasts and charge them, and at the
hours of 12, noon, and G o'clock, alter
the men have left work and gone to
place of safety, to shoot them. In IT, Is
case, however, it seems that one blast
had been prepared and the foreman, c.
MCPHERSON, was preparing second.
The men had all finished their work and
were putting on their coats and picking
up their lunch pals ready to 60 to their
homes after their days work, when they
met horrible and unexpected
death. Either tho rock was too
| hot from the action OF the
drills or else tamping exploded the
second blast, and thatexploded the first.
A man who was tamping paid the penal
ty with his life. A man who stood be-
side the one who was tamping escaped
with slight bruises although 10000 Gu.
bic feet of rock were hurled for hun
dreds of feet in every direction. Anoth.
or man who was near the deadly blast
and was supposed to be dead was seen
shortly after the explosion in half
crazed condition walking around with bis
clothing torn to shreds. The men
were working in cut leveling off tho
ground for the now freight yards. The
cliff of rock on the side Of the cut
which was being removed was twenty
feet high. The blasts are so arranged

Said to BE the Cry in Guatemala city.
Minister Miner in an Unpleasant Situ-
alton.

surrounded the U. S. Legation Wednes-
day. Threats of stoning the building
and mobbing the inmates were freely
uttered, but no overt act was committed
in the face of the strong force of police
that guards the premises day and night.
Every visitor is closely questioned be-
fore being admitted to the Office and is,
more or less under surveillance while
inside and until he emerges again.
Whonever Minister Miner has occasion
to leave the legation he is surrounded
by a bodyguard of police. Sympathy
grows for General Barrundia's daughter,
who is kept close prisoner for her at.
