AFTER TEsE BOSSE.S.
4 Few Words From the Representa-
tive Journcymcn Carpenters.

CHICAGO, July 23-TSpecia Iclc gram
TO TIE BEE. Trouble is again brewing
among the carpenters. The new bosses asso-
citation is kicking vigorously against alleged
violations of the arbitration agreement by the
carpenters council, and 1t is probable that Il
serious disagreement between the two organ
izationS may cnSuc,
''rhe chief cause of complaint and many
minor ones, - said member OF the new bosses
association today, "is the arbitration agree
ment plainly and specifically stipulated that
no union iourncymcn were to work Tor the
members of the carpenters and builders as
socation. AS matter of fact there are now
fifteen hundred or more union carpenters
working for the old bosses at less than 30
cents an hour. We have supposed we were
to have the support of the carpenters cOun-
ell Wewcrc promised il. That promise has
not been kept, and do not know how long
our association will stand being luggled IN
this way. Another complaint we nave 10
make is that the carpenters council Is lur-
nishing men to the city to do day work, thus
cutting business right away from the con
tractors of our association. Then there are
many minor grievances, and you may look
out for some sort of trouble before long"
That there are many union carpenters
working for the old bosses association Is not
denied by the officers OF the carpenters coun
al,
I'VE have an object in it," said one of then
today. we nave seht thosc ihci oh Viio w
bosses Jobs TO do missionary work, and they
have done it well, too. Many and many
member of the carpenters and builders as
sociation thinks that he has full force o
non-union men at work for him, while in fac
every man of them belongs TO the carpenters
! council. In this way we have secured a hol'
! on the old bosses which they little suspect
! Complaint and strenuous efforts are beinl
made TO bring about settlement Of the strIk
! with the old posses. Should these plans fai
or be rejected by the bosses another strike /
among the probabilities. BY having our mel
cripple the BOSSES"

A HEADLEss BODY.
An Arkansas Feud Terminates in
Bloody Rutchery.

TExARKANA, Ark, July 23.-[Special Tele-
gram to THE BEEl-Ihe body of Samuel
Stone of Lewlsville, Ark, in tho adjoining
county of Lafayette, Ark, with tho head
shot off, was brought here today and buried.
An account of his killing was obtained from
Lewis Vile 1t seems that DR. Chisholm,
Samuel Stone aud man named
Cabinnes went yesterday to the saloon
of Jake Stone, a brother of Sam. After
drinking Cablnnes told Chisholm that he
wished to see him privately All four men
went to back room, and there the three
men drew revolyers and began beating
Chisholm with them! Finally they let
him go. Going to his house he OBJ
tanned shotgun, and on his return
to the saloon met Sam fStone; He shot, and
Stones head was cohpletcly severed from
his body
1t appears that the killing was the second
chapter of the fued between Chisholm and
Sheriff Cline Lemoy, the first chapter of
which was settled some time since, The
dead man headed commission as deputy
sheriff under Lemoy. Chisholm has not
been arrested.

The Commi tee Eeclnvenes.

CHICAGO, July 28-[Special Telegram to
THE BEE The committee of western rail
road officials with Chairman Walker at its
head, reconvened to-day to discuss the pro
posed advance in rates from Kansas City. The
discussion developed the fact that it would
not be necessary to agree on an exact division
of traffic before an advance in rates could be
made Such an arrangement, it was thought,
might be construed rs pooling by the utter
state commerce commission, and an under
standing that no line shall take over certain
percentage of any commodity will be .subst-
tuted.
AT this point IT. became manifest that the
Missouri Pacific and Wabash must be con
suited on Kansas City traffic, and it was de
cided to adjourn until Friday and call those
two routes into consultation 1t was found
today that yesterdays figures on the losses
by the reductions in rates from Kansas City
were under the mark.
The loss will reach nearly S5,90O,OOO year,
and over half that sum has already been lost
by the various roads since the reductions
went into effect. 1t is the mission of the
committee to save this vast sum.

GOOD PRECEDENT.

So few officeholders either die or re-
Sign, it is almost inconceiyable how
man holding the exalted position of
president should deliberately announce
two years in advance of the expiration
of his term that he would not have the
Office again if rendered him on gold
platter, 1t is not IN the nature of office
holding to decline anything that there
is money and honor in, hence there will
be great many persons inclined to
think that President HARRISON's vol
untary declination is ruse by which
he may hope to throw his opponents off
their guard while he is all the
time quietly working up his re-
nomination. The GLOBE does not
take that view of it. We give the
president credit for sincerity in this
matter, not so much because we have
unlimited faith in the honesty of all of
his purposes, but rather because it is a
matter of Hobson'S choice with him.
There is more honor for him in volun-
tary retirement than in the overwhelm-
ing defeat which awaits him in case he
is candidate for second term. We
do not believe that President HARRI-
SON would fail of denomination if
he was inclined to force himself
on the Republican party. The power
of federal patronage is sufficient to in
sure denomination, leaving all other
things out of consideration, but it is
what would follow the nomination that
conyinces his eXcellency of the propri-
ETY. of withdrawing from the presiden-
tial canvass before it is fairly opened.
But whatever the reasons that infiu-
enced him, we must do President HAIR
RIsoN the credit of saying thatin our es-
timation he is pursuing an exceedingly
wise course. BY this action he relieves
his party of great deal of the RESPONSE
bility for his administration. Henceforth
he can be more Of a president and less of
partisan. if he is at all built that way.
He certainly widens the scope for indie
pendent action, and will afford himself
the opportunity to exhibit some of that
reSOluteneSs for which he is said to be
noted.
Whether President HARRISON is ca
pable or not of availing himself of the
splendid opportunities the one-term
principle presents, we are of opinion
his example in declining renomina-
ton should be followed by all of his
successors. The man who goes into the
presidency with his mind made up to
serve but one term is surely in better
condition to impress his individuality
upon public affairs, and thus to win
fame, than the man who starts in as a
policy trimmer with a view of making
his second calling and election sure. 1t
gives him a chance at leastto follow
his convictions.

GOOD EVIDENCE.

1t has always been difficult to give the
ballot-reform measure much association
in the mind with Australia, although
the name of that country is attached to
it. Perhaps this has been owing to the
fact that that region is too far away
from the United States to set reforma-
tory models, and it is in that direction
that England has shipped some of it's
lawless classes. HENRY GEORGE has
been for some time trying, with encour-
aging success, to plant his notable re-
form in that soil, and has had excellent
opportunity to observe the workings
of their political systems. He finds al
most phenomenal evidence of the
effectiveness and salutary character of
this protection to the voter. 1t has been
in operation in that country long
enough to fully measure its worth.
Mr.. GEORGE was impressed with
the fact that there were no
charges arising from corruption in

WE'LL DONE.

1t is so seldom we have had the occa-
sion to compliment Representative
LIND on his votes we cannot let the Op-
portunity pass to commend his indie
pendence' yesterday in voting against
Speaker REEDS arbitrary attempt to
bury the senate silver bill in commit
tee of his own choosing. The trick was
so contrary to all sense of public and
private decency Mr.. LIND broke away
from his Republican colleagues, and, in
conjunction with a handful of other
conscientious Republicans, aided the
Democrats in defeating the speakers
willy scheme. Relying upon the party
majority to sustain him in all man
ner of skulduggery, Speaker REED
over Mr.. MILLS, who was making
a vigorous protest against false entry
in the journal. When Mr.. MILLS was
entitled to the floor the speaker recog-
nized another member, who moved the
previous question, on motion to ap-
prove the false entry in the house jour-
nal. In expectation that the full Re-
publican vote would sustain him in this
outrage, Mr.. REED went ahead with all
the confidence of car in command of
all army of serfs. But. thanks to Mr..
LIND and to half dozen other Repub-
licans who joined him in his bolt to the
Democratic side of the house, Speaker
REED was brought up standing, and
suffered his first defeat in this congress.
The people are terribly in earnest in
their demand for free silver, and we
note with pleasure that some of the
representatives of the people are catch
ing the drift of popular sentiment.

PowDERLY's BLUFF CALLED
Samuel GOmpers Accepts the
Knights Challenge.

New YORK, June 19.-Following is
the reply of President Gompers, of the
American Federation of Labor, to the
letter received by him yesterday from
Grand Master Workman Powderly, of
the Knights of Labor:
Dear Sir: | am in receipt of your
favor of the 18th inst in which you say
that it is the intention of the general
officers of the Knights of Labor to re-
view and reply to the numerous
charges and accusations which have
been made and circulated by
Federation of Labor against the Knights
of Labor, at meeting to be held at
Cooper Union Friday evening, the Goth
inst. You are courteous enough to in
vite me to attend the meeting so that
garbled reports of the meeting should
not reach me, for all of which | desire
to express my appreciation. At the
ciOse-o of your letter, however. you add
that should [ desire to reply to anything
to which take exception it would give
you pleasure to divide the platform
with me. This may not have
been intended, but certainly is,
and will be accepted by the
world as challenge to discuss
the question at issue, and | SO regar d
it. You can readily understand that a
challenge, where the greatest efforts
have been made to have the meeting
entirely composed of your followers,
and where there are probably four or
five beside yourself who are to address
the meeting on your side of the question,
is entirely and manifestly unfair. You
must also be aware that the time Tor
preparation has been of the shortest
character, so far as am concerned, and
that it is now we'll known that
this move has been in con-
temptation by you and your
followers for several weeks and that |
shall be at a disadvantage owing to the
fact. However, waive all this and
will accept your challenge to meet you,
not at remote time, but tomorrow
evening, June 20, at Cooper Union, but
must insist ON the following conditions:
First-That l shall meet you and you
alone as my disputant.
Second-That the time be equally di-
vided between you and l, and,
Third-That the meeting shall be an
entirely free and open one. to which
the general public shall have free ac-
cess, without the demand of any sign or
password, and that no person be ad-
mitted to the hall until 7:3O p. IN.
If these conditions are acceptable to
you and are carried out, | can assure
you that Notwithstanding the short no
tlce of few hours, you will find me on
the platform,

THE CENSUS is A FARCE.
That is What Citizens of Albany
Think and Say.

ALBANY, n. Y, June 19.-There is
widespread discomfort here over the
work and the result of the census
enumeration. 1t is known that hun
dreds of families have never been
visited and complaints are be-
ing handed into the newspaper
offices by the score. 1t is said
that the enumeration will only show
about 10000 people, the same as when
taken ten years ago. while it is claimed
that police tally will show over 100000
people. 1t is Threatened tonight by
prominent citizens that they will
ask for the enumeTatorS arrests,
claiming that they have not
legally done their work. In one mans
district eight houses all in row were
never visited, and in another there was
five discovered at single inquiry. 1t
is said that Mayor Manning will order
an enumeration by the police at once,
and will confront the census enumerat-
ors and supervisors with the figures.
ROCHESTER,, n. Y, June 19.-The
census of this city is still incomplete,
and enumeratorS refuse to give any
figures, even Cd the assurance that
Commissioner Porter has given his per-
mission. Experts estimate the increase
in population over that of the
census of 1880 as about $4,000. This
would make the present population
about 100000.
BUFFALO, N. Y, June 19.-Census
Supervisor Silas j. Douglass, of the
Eleventh district, comprising Erie,
Wyoming, Cattaraugus, Chautauquay
and Allegheny counties, to-day refused
to give ont any figures of census re-
turns. Special inquiry being directed
to the incomplete work In the city of
Buffalo. Mr.. Douglass admitted that
less than half the enumerators had
made complete returns for their dis
tricts. He positively refused to say
how many or what districts are COM
pleted.
UTICA, N. Y, June 19.-At the office
of the supervisor of the census for the
Eighth district the statement Is made
that no order from Porter has been re-
ceiyed under which statistics can be
made public.

length point of order made by Mr..

message of the president vetoing the

Uncompahgre Indian reservation was

mittee on Indian affairs. Eulogies on

deceased, the senate at 4:45 p. NJ. adj
