Bailey, and Why.
For the last two nights the colored voters
of this city have been holding secret meet
ings on the hill. The movement is led by
Ajax Jones, who says the colored mems vote
will be solid for Bailey. "a few of us" said
Ajax, after the adjournment of meeting
last night, "haYe determined to make our
power felt. We showed the colored voters
tonight the monopoly Mr.. Gourley had on
school books and how he makes us pay for
them. Gourley is the man who not only
went back on Mr.. English, but also on
Mayor McCallin, who was his best friend.
His high-handed methods will get a back
set on the hill next Tuesday, and the black
men are the boys who will show him their
power. We now have to pay fictitious
prices for our school books, and most of us
are too poor to stand it. You can say we
will have another meeting tonight, and
that the best thinking colorCd men are for
Bailey"

which consisted OF worthless rifles of differ

ing the Proposed
Objects.
BERLIN. February l4.-The Council Of
State, summoned in pursuance of the pur-
poses announced in the imperial rescript,
was opened to-day. The Emperor presided
in person, and in his opening address he
said:
The object for which the Council is sum-
moned is the consideration of the measures
necessary to regulate the position of the work
ing people before submitting these measures
to the legislative bodies with whom must rest
the final decision as to their wisdom. 1regard
it as important that the Council shall conscien-
tiously and imparfially examine my proposals
ana give It's Judgment upon the expedlency'
gracticability and scope of the suggestions
The task is a serious and responsible one.
Referring to women the Emperor said:
1t is especially necessary to consider their
position in the households OF workingmen; inn
portant for domestic life from the point OF
view of morality and of thrift The State
Council should endeavor to frame scheme
for the protection of Worklngmen from the ar
bitrary systems and operations of employers
by which gross advantage is taken OF tner
needs and their inability to help themselves Dy
any other means than the desperate remedy OF
strikes.
SOME OF THE PROPOSITIONS.
It should also attempt to protect women
and children against protracted hours Of labor.
At the same time due regard should be given
as to how far German industry will bear ill.,
creased burdens thus placed on the cost of pro-
duction without jeopardy to Germany's posi-
tion as competitor in the markets OF the
world. If that is overlooked, the changes
propose, instead of resulting in the improve
ment desire, would lead to the deterioration
of the workingman's position.
To avert this danger great measure of wise
reflection will be needed. The settlement of
these questions is essential as bearing upon the
agreement as TO the labor questions which it
is to be hoped we shall establish through an
international conference. Not less important
for assuring peaceful relations between mas
ters and men are the forms of the guarantees
to be offered to workingmen to secure to them
the right to express through representatives
enjoying their confidence their own statement
of their interests in anv difference.
The endeavor must be made in this connec-
tion to place the representatives in communi-
cation with the mining officials and State su.
periutendents to enable both sides to be thor
Oughly informed and to be kept in constant
touch with each other. The closest technical
study should be given to making the State-di-
rected industries patterns and examples of eff
fective solicitude for the workingmen's well
fare.

OeDEE, o. 7. August S.-The corner stone
of the Utah university, the great Methodist in
stitution being erected here, was laid with no
table ceremonies by Bishop Vincent, the fam
GUS Chautauquan. Addresses of enthusiastic
congratulation and prophecy were made by
Bishop Vincent, Governor Thomas and Rev.
Sam Small, D. D., the president of the uni
versity. Letters and autographs, communi-
cations from President Harrison, Vice Pres
ident Morton, members of the cabinet, Cen
erals Sherman and Howard, Oliver Wendell
Holmes. ex-President Hayes, bishops of the
northern and southern Methodlsm, Senator
Edmunds, many congressman, presidents of
colleges and universities, were placed in the
corner stone of the Crypt.
The most notable was the cablegram from
Gladstone, heartily desiring success of this
noble effort and purpose to deliver fellow
creatures and felloW-countrymen from a de-
plorable deluGon.
The university is splendidly located and
will be adequately endowed. The building
will cost $500, 200, and the faculty will be the
best obtainable in America and Europe.

Topska Men in Trouble.

TOPEKA, KAN, August 9.-The United
States of America has interfered with three
of Topeka's original package dealers, but
not in their behalf. Charles Rahrer, Jacob
Leon and Fred Bobecker were arrested upon
warrants issued by United States Commits
sioner E. A. Wagner, charging them each
with having sold spirituous liquors to Indians
of the Pottawatomie reservation under the
charge of John Blair, Indian Agent.
They were taken before Commissioner
Wagner, at his office in the government
building and their bond for appearance was
placed at $500 each.
Leon gave the required bond and his case
is set for hearing September 4, at 10 a. m.
Rahrer also furnished the bond and his case
will be heard September 10. at 10 a. m. Bo-
becker has not yet given bond, but has mott
fed his superiors at Kansas City, and he ex-
poets relief from that source.
The penalty for this crime of selling liquor
to wards of the United States is $500 and two
years in the penitentiary, and it is said the
evidence in these cases is conclusive. 1t IS
understood that other Topeka original pack
age men will be dealt with in a similar
manner.

The NJ Land Grant.

WASHINGTON, D. c., August lin the
adjustment of of the grant to the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas Railway company, the sec
rotary of the interior held that suit should
not be instituted for the recovery of the lands
patented to said company, and lying within
the New York Indian reservation, for the
reason that for thirty years the executive
and legislative branches of the government
have acted upon the theory that the right of
the Indians to these lands had expired, and
that titles resting on such action should not
now be disturbed. The secretary further
holds that the lateral limits of the grant
should be readjusted for the purpose of re-
covering land that might thus be shown to lie
outside of the grant, and bases such conclu-
sion on the fact that said limits, as fixed by
the original withdrawals, have remained I'M
questioned for many years, that titles have
vested on the action of the department, and
the grant yet remains unsatisted by several
hundred thousand acres.

Not Willing to Fight Blaine.

WASHINGTON, D. c., August 9.-The enc
mics of reciprocity have put out the white
flag. They want truce called until an I'M
Outstanding can be reached. Speaker Reed
may still be defiant, but his following in the
house isn't. Minnesota, Nebraska, North
Dakota, California, Illinois and Kansas,
through state or congressional conventions,
have declared in favor of Mr.. Blaine's ideas,
and western members are beginning to see
the light and follow after it. One PROPOSE
ton, which Is said to meet Major McK1nley's
view, is that instead of making sugar free
for a year on condition of reimpang the
duty against nom reciprocity countries the
cut should be simply one-half OF the present
rate. This, it is declared, would cheaper
sugar to consumers, and at the same time
would encourage the sugar producing coun-
tries to seek an entirely free market by con-
cessiOns in favor of American breadstutfs.
But the general opinion tends more and
more strongly against half way arrangements
and towards reciprocity pure and simple. A
good sized party is forming in the house,
which will insist on having direct express
sion. 1t is possible that Speaker Reed and
the majority of the committee on rules may
yet be forced to give the foreign affairs CON-
mittee a chance to bring before the house
the resolution of Mr.. Hitt-that the house
would view with favor reciprocity treaties
with the Pan-American nations" or the
ways and means committee may be COM
PEELED to report, favorably or otherwise, the
resolution introduced last week by Mr.. San
ford New York;. proposing halt in fires
sugar legislation until time can be had to in
vestigate Secretary Blaine's reciprocity prop

THE BATTLE ON.
The Great Vanderbilt Line in New York
Tied Up by q Knights of Labor
Strike; Like = Flash From
a Clear Sky.
Knights and brotherhood Men Had Been
Discharged and the Officials Of
the Road Refused to Mcgee
tate About It

NEW YoRK, August 1.-The rumblings OF
an expected storm among the thousands OF
employees of the New York Central and Van
derbilt lines, owing to the discharge OF
Knights of Labor and Brotherhood men,
broke out like a..hash from a clear sky. AL
the length of the Central was tied up.
Trains were left by the crews where they
stood. When the order came two passenger
trains were left at Eighty-sixth street, in the
tunnel, one going in each direction. The
latest report is that the Lake Shore is tied up
throughout its length, as well as the New
York and d New Haven railroad. Great
throngs of people are crowded into the Grand
Central depot trying to have tickets changed,
and asking all manner of questions. No one
seems to know how it was, or who ordered
the strike. Even J. J. Holland, the labor
leader, denied that he knew who ordered it,
or when it was ordered.
Vice President Webb, of the New York
Central, on being interviewed, said that the
strike extended only to West Albany.
All men who went out from the employ OF
the road, he said, would be promptly dis
charged. Those men who remained true to
the company would be well taken care of,
the men who came to work for the road.
The road would take on all good men who
applied for work, az far as they were needed
to fill the places of the deserters, and they
would be guaranteed against all harm as
well. With great emphasis the vice presi-
dent announced that he would fight thu
strikers to the bitter end. He said that the
new set of demands he had never seen and
knew nothing whatever about. In effect
these demands are for a minimum days
wages of $1.50, station agents to receive an
increase of S. q month; men in the yards at
Troy and Green Island shall receive the same
compensation as at Schenectady and East
Albany; all fremen on six-wheel connected
engines shall receive pa cents per mile; all
engineers on the same, cents; four wheel
engine engineers, 81 cents per mile; firemen,
2 cents per mile; for all men, over time,
double pay. Mr.. Webb announced that the
fast mail had pulled out of the depot with
four mails, but no passengers were attached
to the tram. The vice president further an
nounced that no attempt would be made
to run any trains. Everything would be left
at standstill, just where the men left.
There are no means to get to Albany or New
England. But the opening up of the great
avenues of trade would soon be begun.
1t is announced that the vice president Will
give out an official statement of the roads
position III the present controversy, that the
people of the country may Judge who Is right
and who is wrong.

ReetprocI,v Almost A..nr.t

WASHINGTON, D. c., August 1.-THE presi-
dent Is endeavoring to win Chairman Nc
kInley, of the ways and means committee,
over to the scheme of reciprocity. M. Nc
klnley has had long interview at the White
house, at the invitation of the president, and
# Is understood that the matter was fully
discussed. That the president and Mr..
Blaine are thoroughly agreed upon the SUBJ
lect there IS no doubt, notwithstanding GER
tam sensational dispatches to the contrary.
The president has been in accord with Sec
rotary Blaine in general way upon the sub
lect from the beginning, and their only diff
ferences have been as TO the desired extent
OF reciprocity, the best plan of procedure
ana the consequent details. 1t is said the
president was at first rather inclined to stop
At the Pierce amendment, which simply pro-
posed that sugar should be put upon the free

The Election Bill.

WAsHHeToS, D. c., August 9.-The sub
stitute for the Lodge election bill, which
Senator Hoar reported to the senate, is sew
enteen pages shorter than the bill which
passed the house. Among the changes which
the senate committee made are the follow
ing:
All reference to the section of the revised
statutes, which, it was CLAIMED, provided for
the presence of troops at the polls was
stricken out, so that there is no change from
the present law in this respect.
The house-to-house canvas, provided for
IN the house bill, was stricken out.
The provisions for drawing juries by COM
missioner was omitted, leaving the Law as at
present on the books.
The penal offences were slmphhed and
made misdemeanors instead of felonIes. Tho
punishments were modified, the highest pun
ishment imposed being three years impris
onment and a fine of $1,000, as against i'm
prisonment five years and fine OF s, COO IN
house hill.
The Judge of the circuit court before whom
appeal is made for supervision is authorized
to make appointments as supervisors any
persons he may see nit, not being confined in
his selection to the lists furnished by the
chief supervisor.
In cases where ballots were cast in the
wrong box they are not to be counted unless
the tally sheet shows that votes for congress
men do not equal the number of names on
the poll list, then enough of votes so wrongly
cast shall be added to the latter sheet to
make the total equal to the whole number of
votes shown to be cast.
Where the election officers refuse to ad-
minister the oath to voters applying therefor,
it is provided in the bill that the supervisors
shall administer the oath, and keep record
thereof, but no effort shall be made to have
the vote thus refused cast, the object being
merely to preserve the testimony of the ap-
plication and refusal.

The Great Gambling swInd1e.

BATON ROUGE, La, August PA state
convention of the anti-lottery league has IS
sued an address to the people of the United
States. 1t first gives history of this gigan-
tic swindle from its inception to the present
time, telling how its first capital of a million
dollars had advanced from $35 a share to
81, 200 share, besides paying annual divi-
dends of 50 10 100 per cent. from one-half of
the net earnings; the other half belonging to
the lessees.
The address then concludes as follows:
If the faint of a state organized crime
could be confined within the limits of the
organizing state, the evil might be local and
the ground of complaint local, but we pro-
test that it is against the fundamental prin-
ciples of this union and in violation of the
sacred sisterhood of the states, that one of
their number should for pittancs of reve-
nue. allow a piratical corporation to prey
upon the ignorance, the creduality and the
cupidity of the citizens of all the other states.
Il any state is so shameless thus to use it's at
present untrammelled power, 1t ought to be,
and must be restrained by the united power
of the American people.
10 that end we recommend the immediate
adoption of an amendment to the federal
constitution prohibiting any state from char
tering or licensing any lottery or gift prize,
and abolishing those already established,
and giving congress the power to enforce the
prohibition by appropriate legislation.
A proposition to amend the constitution,
covering all the ground except in the aboli-
ton of existing lotteries, is now before COM
mittee of the United States senate, having
been introduced by Senator Blair, of New
Hampshire. The legislation specially recon-
mended by the president and postmaster
general to exclude lottery business and adj
vertisements from the mails and express
companies is aimed in the right direction,
and we ask its speedy adoption.
We ask that all candidates of all parties of
the legislatures of the various states be re-
CURED to pledge themselves to vote for the
amendment proposed by congress to the
constitution of the United States prohibiting
and abolishing state lotteries.
All this we ask in the name of our common
citizenship of this republic, and in behalf of
public honor, the public interest, and the
public and private welfare of the common
wealth of states.
We further request the free press to give
this address the widest possible publication.
