THE CREW OF THE LEWIS.
Statements Made in Contradiction of til
Captain.

Statements Made in Contradiction of the
Captain.
When the sealer j. Hamilton Lewis re-.
turned to port on Wednesday the captain
said he was short of provisions, but had had
no trouble with his crew. He afterward
gave out that he had come back because
only one out of ten on board could steer.
The men were seen by CALL reporter last
night at their clearinghouse, and each in
turn denied the story of the captain. but
affirmed that out of the ten shipped before
the mast in the Lewis nine left her and
came ashore and seven are old sailors and
could steer any ship. The other two, they
admitted, could not steer. The men de-
clared that they had read the article in yes
terday's CALL, and its facts are substanu-
ally correct in that the trouble was over the
pay claimed. they having signed for 40 cents
3 skin, and the captain only desiring to pay
cents. The men say this alone was the
cause of their refusal TO work and of the
schooner'S return to port.

The Rings Have No Politics.

tits not new to the readers reform
papers that the combinations have
no politics, and they who fail to see
that such il the case must be bind,
indeed. The late elections contain
abundant evidence Of the politics OF
the money power, and its determln-
alton to rule all parties. In every
state, the elections were carried IN
the interest of the eastern monled
autocrat, and money was poured ont
with lavish hand.
In Ohio, the Republicans spent
$225, 900 to carry the state, the
monied men of eastern states CEN
tributing to the campaign fund.
Free silver and free trade of Dem
ocracy, or the interests Of the work

contests.
Whatever virtue OF patriotism the
Republican party in Kansas or Ne
braska possessed has died out from
disnetude and prejudice, or has
sought expression in the new par
ties. The party is as hopelessly and
beIpIessly wallowing in the mIre OF
of corrupt influences as the party in
the eastern states.
The leaders of both old parties
are after office and Doodle, and their
assumed fight for principle is all
sham. The gold-bugs read the riot
act to the Democratic party ten or
twelve years ago. Since then it has
been az subservient as the Repub-
lican party could be /; and now the
manufacturers, in the election OF
Crisp for speaker, have also served
notice that Tariff is king. The
trusts served notice on Harrison,
and now the president is as dumb as
an oyster where, when he was IN
augurated, he was vociferous in his
denunciation of trusts and combines.
The Whisky Ring is king. The
Gold-Bug of Wall street is king.
The Big Four, or Beef Trust, is
king. The manufacturers are kings.
The railroads are kings. And none
of them have any politics or love of
country-outside Of their individual
interests.
The masses are becoming serfs,
and imagine that in fighting the bat
ties of their leaders, they are per-
forming a real service, both for
themselves and the country.
