AREPuBLlcAN CONVENTION.

THE TINES has not consulted the
republicans Of the other counties as
to the propriety Of calling republi-
can Congressional Convention for
the Second District, as the thing
called by the five Houk men was
not republican, it was autocra'ic and
fraudulent, therefore the TIMES will
not recognize it as republican
movement. If such fraudulent prac-
tees are INDUCED in and submitted
to by the people or any party it will
and ought to break up the party en-
gage d in it. All such movements
are a disregard of the peoples rights,
and if such vile en- croachments are
endorsed or submitted to, it will
bring destruction to republican gov
ernments. In the presen case ifthe
mean, sneaking and buldozing acts
of the Houk men are endorsed by
the republicans Of the second dis
trict, the better class of republicans
will simply step aside of the organi-
zation, and not only refuse to vote
but will let their votes be felt in
some other direction. In the pres
ent case the TINES favors the calling
of a republican Congressional con-
vention, and besides it favors the
nomination ola farmer, a man who
will 60 to Washington and advocate
the interests of the farmer. Far
mers almost universally in Blount
county favor such movement. Old
staunch republicans come to us ev-
cry day and say, you are right, re-
publicans must not submit to such
anti republican practices. The re-
publican party advocates govern
ment by the people, of the people
and for the people. Now mus

A REMARKABLE CONVENTION.

ONE ofthe most notable gatherings
ever witnessed in this or any other
country was the National
Association of Working Girls that
met in New York city. From all
parts of the Union they came, even
from point as far distant as San
Francisco. There were also dele
gates present from Canada.
The convention was the first of it's
kind that ever assembled in this
country, certainly. The fact that
such an assembly comes together,
attended by 400 delegates, shows
that the woman wage worker has,
settled down to serious business, and
has come to stay. The woman wage
worker is a development of the
Nineteenth century.
The working girls club owes its
origin chilly to the efforts of Miss
Grace Dodge, of New York, one of
the first women to serve on the
school board of that city. Miss
Dodge brought together factory girls
and clerks, and started club rooms
where they could have not only in
struction, but, what was better still
under the circumstances, entertain
ment ola social nature. Each girl
paid a small amount of dues, so that
she could accept both the entertain
ment and instruction with self re-
spect. Next came more serious
matters. The girls were awakened
to a sense of deficiency in education.
Early they had to enter on the
struggle for life, mostly without
learning.
They joined hand, and by each
paying what she could afford, secur.
ed competent instructors, such al
might serve the richest in the land
and put themselves under the tut
ton of these. There is something
pathetic in all this. The girls, many
Of them, worked until 6 o'clock
Then they hurried home to theil
cheap boarding houses, quickly at.
the little dinner and hurried off Il
the evening school. Practica
things are taught, too. The instruc
ton includes courses in physical de-
velopment, embroidery, cooking
German, millinery and stenography
Two grand results are flown,
from these clubs Of working girls al
ready. They are destroying tina

WEDNESDAY, APRIL, 80, 1890.

The democracy is indignant over
the introduction of a Federal Con-
gressional election bill, introduced
by Mr.. Hoar, of Massachusetts,
which gives the right to supervise
all elections tor congressman, in any
or all the states. 1t provides a SUI
pervising committee whose business
it shall tohave charge of this subject.
The bill is only an enlargement OF
the present law on that subject. A
law of the same kind protecting the
ballot boxes of voters, from the
fraudulent practices of politicians
is quite necessary. The last few
years has given ample evidence o
the need of such a law.

THE McKinly tariff bill if it be-
comes law, will reduce the surplus
81, 100000. This will solve the
revenue problem and the democracy
need not fear that there will be a
surplus for their treasurer to get
hold of if they should get into Office.
1t is we'll to say that democratic
state treasurers do not care to
wait for the surplus funds, they
create shortages.

The democracy by their central
committee met in loves Hall last
Saturday, but not belonging to the
elect, we were not invited into the
sanctum of that honorable body of
men. So we shall never know what
this body did only as the Indicator
may give it out, for the benefit of
mankind. If that body of men
wanted their actions reported gener-
ally through the county, they ought
to have extended an invitation to
the TINES reporter and it would
be done. We would have announ-
ced what their speakers said, who
they want for governor, congress
man, representative county officers
and all other interesting matter,
which will now be lost to the world,

THE case Of George D. Wise. Of
the third Congressional district was
10 bad that democratic Congressman
could not have the face to vote for
him to keep his seat, but wished to
call a new election to get another
chance to cover up his tracks, but
the republicans thought the fraud
was so plain, the re publican was en-.
titled to his seat, and therefore gave
ii to him.

THE people have been consulted
more about the McKinly tariff bill
than any other ever offered to the
American people. All classes Of
business have been called, and
therefore it can be called the peoples
tariff bill. The democrats call it the
farmers tariff, they say the republi-
cans have been trying to capture
that class of laboring men, we'll they
ought to be consulted and if good
laws will capture them, all right.

The dealing with the McKinly
tariff bill shows that the republicans
are still capable of doing business
for the whole people. In this there
is a great difference between the old
parties. The democratic National
Convention took the theory Of Gro
yer Cleveland, without consulting
the people. The republicans con-
suit the laboring people of the whole
country, who are the ones to consult.

A YANKEE WELCOME.
Americans in London Give a Dinner to
Henry M. Stanley.

Henry M. Stanley
LONDON, June 2.-In point of style
and smartness, as Britishers call it, the
American dinner to Stanley Friday
night is not to be compared with din
ners to Minister Phelps and Consul
Waller. 1t lacked everything but the
enthusiasm. About 800 Americans liv-
ing in London were present. Henry
W. Ellcomb originated the dinner. Be-
sides the Americans there were 100 En-
glishmen, headed by Duke Sutherland.
Stanleys officers on the expedition
were grouped about him at the central
table.
The walls of the banquet hall were
covered with coats-of-arms of every
state in the Union. Each one was
draped with both British and American
colors. Consul General New was in the
chair. He made speech, during which
he presented Stanley with large Amer
ican flag and magnificent silver shield,
engraved with historic scenes of his
journey through the Dark Continent.
New got rousing reception.
George Shepard Page made an extra
ordinary speech, in which he observed
that If the scheme of the imperial feder-
alton, which included the United States,
ever came about, the Prince of Wales
would be nominated president. All
Americans would be glad to vote for him.
Stanley said nothing in his speech about
America except that he left there in 1857.
Most OF his time was taken up satirizing
Lord Salisbury's speech in the house of
lords. In this he found thoroughly
responsive audience. He was heartily
cheered.

Battle with Horse Thieves.

AUSTIN, Tex, June "A sheriff's
posse and a gang of horse thieves had a
terrific encounter twenty-three miles
above Austin, in the mountains, late
Thursday afternoon, in which one of
the thieves, George Makernson, was
killed, and his brother Frank captured.
Six years ago George held up Rev. DIR.
Smoot and robbed him of his gold
watch. AS he took the watch he exam
ined it carefully, and, noticing that it
was engraved, he returned it, saying he
did not rob preachers. He robbed DIR.
Smoot's companions, however. Three
days after, he was captured and was
tried, convicted and sentenced to the
penitentiary for twenty years. Four
weeks ago, upon petition of the county
officers, prison officials and the gentle
men whom he had robbed, the governor
pardoned him.

DOCTORS AND THE CENSUS.
Information Asked For in Regard {
Mortality and vital gtatistios and VVI,v

Information Asked For in Regard to
Mortality and vital Statistics, and why.
WASHINGTON, June 2.-Referring to
the criticisms of the circular sent to the
doctors throughout the country by DR..
John S. Billings, surgeon U. S. A., in
charge of the division of mortality or
vital statistics of the eleventh census,
Superintendent Porter made the follow
ing statement:
"In the census of 1880 the questions
were substantially the same. e., to
ascertain who were insane, idiotic, deaf,
blind, deformed, manned OF sick A
circular letter was then sent to every
physician in the United States, inclosing
a schedule and asking for reports by
name of every insane or feeble-minded
person known to the doctor No spe-
cial objection was made. A very large
number of physicians made such re-
ports, and the result was to add about
10000 cases to the enumerators returns.
The success of this method suggested
similar circular this year.
in the eleventh census the same ques-
tions have been used, and much the
same sort of circular letter sent to ply
sicians, but now they have been asked
to furnish information, not only with re-
gard to the insane and idiotic, but with
regard to the blind, deaf and sick, the
purpose being TO supplement the work
of the enumerators. It was supposed
that If the information given was kept
strictly confidential SO far as individuals
are concerned, and this was guaranteed
by the superintendent of census and by
DIR. Billings, and that if only tables of
results were published, physicians wonld
be made to aid III making these tables
accurate, the name was asked for in the
physicians report simply to prevent du-
plication, and as soon as it is compared
the data as to age, sex, nature of in
trinity, etc, are copied ON a card and
the physicians report at once destroyed
This card, which does not contain the
name. is what is used by census clerks
in compiling data.
Superintendent Porter said he thought
no blunder had been made in following
the recommendations of the most emf
nent statisticians of this country and
Europe and of DIR. Belknap, who is him
self one of the most prominent men in
his profession in the United States.
The great mass of people of this country
are far too intelligent not to appreciate
the value Of information which would
be derived from comparison Of an
swers given and the importance Of MAX
ing such answers as accurate. as posi-
BILE, especially when they have the as
surance that their answers, as regards
each individual, viii be treated as con-
fidential and all traces of the name de-
stroyed as soon ss the facts from sched-
niles are u0trd Gu InpuiAted cards.

PRIDE OF THE NAVY,
The Flagship Baltimore Is Success in
Every Respect,

The Flagship Baltimore Is Success in
Every Respect.
New YORK, June 2.-Key West cor
respondence of May 25 is as follows:
Rear Admiral Gherardi transferred
his flag from the Dolphin to the Balti-
more yesterday. On leaving the former
he was saluted with thirteen guns as his
flag was hauled down, and ON the Balti-
more by thirteen more as he stepped on
board, and the two white stars on blue
foated from our masthead. On board
the two vessels the usual hopors were
paid.
The officers, in full dress, were on the
quarterback and the crew at their quar-
ters. A part of the usual functions,
such as inspecting the new flagship were
omitted, owing to the intense heat To
Admiral Gherardi were presented all the
officers of the ship. He talked with them
for few moments and then retired to
his cabin to don a more comfortable suit
of white. The whole ceremony did not
last twenty minutes. The retreat was
sounded from quarters and the ship re-
sumed her wonted aspect.
The more we familiarize ourselves
with the wonderful gun platform the
more we are delighted. A graceful
craft at sea, of racing speed, carrying a
heavy battery she answers every require
ment of a cruiser. Running down from
Baltimore. we came under half power,
and even then did not make all the steam
she could with the two boilers. One
morning we pushed her a little and
logged nearly thirteen knots.
Off Hatteras we had lump of sea
which would have made the Kearsage
or Galena dance, but the Baltimore paid
no more attention to it than to an even
ing breeze off the land. Further down,
below Jupiter inlet, we had some nasty
squalls, the rain fairly pelting us, and as
we were running close to the reefs, if
we had not had confidence in our COM
passes we should have quickly headed
out.
In all these vessels of steel the COM
passes require very careful compensa-
ton. As yet they are not compensated
in any way, but the deviation on each
point is taken at every opportunity, and
the admiral has promised to give the
navigator an opportunity outside before
we start north. The entrance to Key
West harbor is very narrow over the
reefs and little shallow for a ship
drawing twenty-three feet, but we came
III easily.
1t was a pretty sight to see her leave
her anchorage among the feet and drop
down through a very narrow channel
to the dock for coal. Capt. Schley him
self took the deck and to the profess
sional eye it was a treat to see him turn
this huge craft in almost her own
length, twisting and edging until she
was fairly pointed. and then backing
down and laying her alongside the
wharf in manner so masterful that a
Long Island sound steamer captain
would have envied and remembered it.
We leave to-day for Port Royal and
thence for more northerly ports.

A DAM BURSTS.
A Close Call for the Inhabitants of Gum
nisOn, Col.


nisOn, Col.
DENVER, Col, June 2.-News has
reached here of the bursting of the
reservoir nine miles above Gunnison
early on Wednesday morning. The ac-
cident was caused by the breaking of
the drainage pipe. Indications of the
break was noticed several days ago, and
men were kept there to watch and
strengthen the weak places as
much as possible. When the break
came they hastened to Gunnison to in
form the inhabitants of the danger. The
reservoir was five miles long by about a
and a half miles wide, and about twenty
feet deep. The people dressed them
selves, seized what they could carry,
and driving and leading their animals,
rushed to place of safety just in time
to escape the torrent which swept fences,
bridges and every movable object before
it. The destruction of property will be
very great, and there are fears that lives
may be lost at Christianburg.
