WILL EVICT TENANTS.
The Operators Determined to Thwart
the Men at Every Turn.
MINERS HOLDING MASS MEETINGS.
An Attempt Will Be Made to Bring Out the
Port Royal Employees.
TROUBLE ANTICIPATED AT ANY TINE

The situation of the striking miners has
not changed much from yesterday, but to.
morrow will be very interesting
and busy day in the district.
One hundred strikers, accompanied by a
brass band will go to Port Royal to try to
bring the men out. This will be attended
with trouble as the operators and deputies
have heard of their coming and are de-
termined that they shall not make their
point
President Rae did not conduct q meeting
yesterday, but the Miners Committee did.
AT Eureka, on the Baltimore 6 Ohio Rail-
road, they succeeded in bringing out 200
men. The committee then visited Port
Roval and Jacobs Creek, and induced the
miners to send a delegation to the mass
meetings at Smithton and Banning to-day.
The strikers succeeded in keeping the
Jacobs Creek men out yesterday. The
operators here have decided that the strik-
ers will have TO leave the company's houses,
and trouble is anticipated to-day.
Last night President Costello visited
Henry Florshein' s mines at Eindleyville and
made an agreement with Mr.. Florshein
whereby he is allowed TO run his
mines. This mine is under contract to
supply the gas company of Wheeling,
and it was on the condition that he would
fill this contract only that Mr. Costello
agreed to let the men work. They will re-
ccive 90 cents and are TO pay 500 per week
toward the benefit of the striking miners
National President Rae said last night
that he Ohio miners had not been asked to
come out vet, but he wouldn't say whether

A ST. LOUIS MANS CONCESSION.
He Admits That the Chicago Fair May b,
Success.

He Admits That the Chicago Fair May Be
a Success.
The first st. Louis man to admit that the
Worlds Fair at Chicago may be success
is Colonel E. d. Meier, a well-known iron
merchant, who is stopping at the Duquesne.
He says the people of Chicago have dropped
their fight over local questions, and that
they are now all working together to make
the fair in reality Worlds Fair
ST. Louis, he said, will do all
it can to make the Columbian
Exposition a success, but in case Chicago
gets a swelled head and attempts to spread
out toward the south, he thought it prob
able that St LOUIS would extend its lines
and take in Chicago.
Referring to the political situation,
Colonel Meier said: 81 have seen tin plate
manufactured, and the Democratic crv that
il has beer a failure will be a boomerang in
few months. In ST. Louis Congressman
Niedringhaus has built large tin plate mill,
and in a few months will have it in full
operation. The political situation in st.
Louis is one of the most peculiar in the
country. Both parties have two branches
the silk stockings and the hoodlums The
four sections are about equal in size, and at
every election engage in a rough and tum-
BILE fight. The municipal election next
spring will be the liveliest on record The
hoOdlums are now in power, and it is likely
the silk stocking element will unite to
knock them out

Employers Know Nothing About 1t.

The men employed at Jones j. Laugh
Inns, Oliver Iron and Steel Company and
the Upper and Lower Union Mills of Car
negie, PhipPs x Co. were reported to have
refused to work the steel billets made at the
Duquesne works. The management of
these works say thev know nothing about
it, and they do not think the employees will
make such demands. President Weihe, of
the Amalgamated Association of Iron
Workers, said yesterday afternoon that he
had heard nothing of it.

BOOMs THE BUSINESS.
Rate Reduction on Structural Iron Please
the Bridge Makers.


The initial freight lines east of Pittsburg
have changed the rates on structural and
bridge iron from fifth to sixth class. From
Pittsburg to Chicago the rate has been re-
duced from i71% to 10 cents per ton; to
Milwaukee, from 1917 to II cents; to the
Mississippi river or East st. Louis, from
30 to 49, cents.
The bridge builders are unusually busy,
the only drawback being the great trouble
in securing cars to transport their staple.
Cars are short on all lines, both east and
west of Chicago. The Western roads have
gwen over all their cars to the grain ship
pers. while the coal and coke trade monop-
ollie the Eastern demand Traffic is quite
heavy on all the roads, and no road is COM
planning Of a dearth of business.

No Wonder They Like 1t.

The national banking system per-
mits a man to draw interest on $50,
900 when he has but S., 900 actually
invested. In other words, he in
vests $50, 900 in government bonds,
but he no sooner does so than Uncle
Sam hands him over SIS, 900 in ma
tional bank notes these bank notes
he can use the same as money Gust
the same as the money which he in
vested in bonds). He loans $780,
900 to Uncle Sam Uncle Sam gives
him back $4,000, and still pays
him interest on the full original
loan. Practically he leaves but
$4,000 with Uncle Sam, and Uncle
Sam is such fool financier as to go
on paying him interest on $4,000.
No wonder the money sharks and
their tools and organs lose no oppor-
tunity in trying to convince the
people that the national banking
system is the best the world ever
saw. 1t, is the best, too-for the
sharks. Under no other scheme
that we are aware of can man do
a $95, 900 cash business with cap
ital of $4,000; or draw interest
upon 100000 by an actual invest
ment of but $5,OO0.-Chicago Ex-

More Honor.

A Swiss gentleman recently trav-
cling throughout this country, OBJ
serving our resources and institu-
buttons, says:
America must cultivate higher
sense Of political honor in her people
than she now has, or she is doomed
to early national decay. The ex-
altation of disreputable men to
Office, merely because such men
have debauched ballot and election
methods for success, tends to de-
grade public office and public NOR
ais at fearful rate. The scandal
lied party press of America is
sufficient in itself to overthrow
christian institutions. l repeat it.
There must be more political honor
in America or she will be the short
est-lived republic known to the an
nails Of history.
It would be an honor if we, the
American people, could truthfully
assert that the observations of that
Swiss gentleman with regard to the
political honor, or rather dishonor,
of our nation were not true, but
with shame we are compelled to ad-
NIT that there is q vast amount of
solid truth in his statement. The
facts are that we, the people, have
been docking back with pride" to
party, or rather, party traditions,
instead Of looking at the actual
conditions of the moral, financial
and social affairs of our republic on
account of our old party politics.
Now in the face Of all our boasting
of being the greatest civilized ma
tion on the globe. Should we not
point at ourselves with shame, when
men of other nations can come into
our country and at glance can
point us to where we are drifting as
nation on account of our dishonest
politics?

If there is an organization in the
world that should be friend to the
labor movement and social reform,
says an exchange, that organization
is the church of Jesus Christ.
Founded by one who was the son of
a carpenter, born in a manger,
wrapped in swaddling cloths, reared
in the mean city of Nazareth and
given the name Of Nazarine. He
chose his apostles from the common
people, such as fishermen and clerks
Of the customs, and lived in power
ty. During his life he inculcated
the doctrine of brotherhood and
love for our fellow man. He asso-
ciated. the poor and healed the poor
and unfortunate, denounced the
usurers and robbers, was scoffed at
by the rich and ridiculed by the
priesthood of his day. When the
rich and opulent desired to know
something of his doctrine they went
to him at night, being ashamed to
be found in his company by day
light. He was finally betrayed by
supposed friend and sold for mon
ey, and crucifed because he de-
nounced the oppressor of the poor
and weak.-United Labor (Omaha).

BEFORE the rebellion, Lincoln and
Seward proclaimed that the repub.
lie could not exist, one-haif free,
and one-half slave. And it did not,
so far as the African slave in this
republic was concerned. With
equal truth can it now be said, this
republic cannot be perpetual if the
few continue to absorb the earnings
of the toiling masses. In looking
back at the words, actions and the
general spirit of cussedness that
has been preached and manifested
against the organizers and leaders
of all past movements of political
reformers, by those and the political
parties organized in the business of
the robbery and corruption which
the reformers were seeking to re-
move, we can read past history,
or rather a prophesy of the many
schemes and devices that are now
being used to defeat the object of
our present political reformers for
lettering the financial, moral and
social condition of the toiling mass
es. This past history or prophesy
is one that should be studied by
every toiler and friend of right, so
as to be fully able to read the pres
ent. But no true friend of the
God-given rights and privileges of
humanity can afford to point back
to it with pride. None can do this,
only the powers of robbery, the
demagogues and the corrupt press
of the Republican and Democratic
parties.

WHAT is the matter with the times
anyway? A farmer loads up fifty
bushels of wheat on a wagon and
starts to Garnet, his son follows
with load of corn, while the hired
man follows with load of hay. He
gets from ninety cents to dollar
for his wheat, sixty cents for his
corn and ten dollars for his hay
He takes the checks he gets for his
grain and hay to the bank and asks
for and gets gold coin. He sings
it down in his jeans, goes down to
George and Joe's and buys eighteen
pounds of graduated sugar for a
dollar. He buys muslin for five
cents a yard, calico the same he
goes to the hardware stores and
buys barbed wire for and 3 IL
cents per h., and other things in
proportion, including tin cups. He
goes up to Wagstaff's and buys a
suit of clothes, all wool, for ten
dollars, good enough for president
of a township Alliance to wear.
There never has been a time from
the foundation of the government
to the present, when bushel Of
wheat or corn would buy as much as
it will to-day, and yet some people
will get up at night and burn their
shirt to make a light to see to

AT present old party politics in
dictate a union, or in other words, a
uniting of the Republican and Dem
ocratic parties in the bands of po-
litical matrimony. This seeming to
be the condition that the two old
concerns are in, and judging from
the condition of the little domestic
affairs now in it's political family
home, we are reminded of the story
of widower with a number of
small children, who married widow
who was also blessed with a like
number of children, and by and by
there was another one added to the
number. Hearing a noise in the
yard, one day, the father went out
to see what was the matter. "Well,
what is it?" asked his wife as he re-
turned. "Your children and my
children were pounding our chill
dren," was the reply.

Capt. Jerry Simpson, of Kansas, was
going to address the people at Coop
er Union, on the subject of Gree
Trade" April I'd, I resolved to see
and hear him. / made Decline for
that "swell" place called the "Wind-
sor." There l was informed that
Mr.. Simpson had left the house in
company with Henry George, and
they could not tell me where to find
him; so l made Decline for the
office of the Wall Street Farmer,
143 w. 4th street. There I got in
formation that w. G. Crum, editor
of the Farmer, had gone to Goth
street and Broadway, who, with
other Alliance men, expected to meet
Bro. Simpson. At the corner of
Broadway and Goth l had the pleas
ure of good long talk with Capt.
Simpson. He gave me all the plat
form tickets l wanted. l felt very
proud, as an American citizen, that
Kansas had so able and honest de-
fender of her rights, and that the
wealth-producers Of the whole coun-
try have friend at Washington.
Cooper Union was well filled by
an intelligent audience. Two-thirds
came to criticise. The meeting was
called to order by free-trade Demo-
Gratis, but Henry George did not
preside. 1t seems that Capt. Simp-
son promised Henry George, about
a year ago, that he would deliver a
free-trade speech in New York, and
he has done it. 1t seems to me that
the Captain was handicapped, but if
the officers of the meeting could
stand what he said, the audience
could afford to-especially when the
Captain said, "The Alliance means
to wipe the Democrats and Repub-
licans from the face of the earth"
Amen
1t is very amusing to read what
the metropolitan papers said about
the Captains speech. Not one of
them gave a full report, and as to
the great New York Herald, it was
as still as an oyster. The Sun lied
about Capt. Simpson. 1t seems that
the eastern papers are determined
that their readers shall be ignorant
about the Alliance of the West and
the South. Well, they will hear
something "drap" one of these days.
1t is unfortunate that the people
could not read all that Mr.. Simpson
said.
1t was amusing, to me, to hear
the boisterous laughter-snd to see
the smile on Bro. Simpsons face
when he said "it was a mooted
question with the Kansas people,"
They laughed at the way he pro-
the word "mooted." Well,

FOR 4 PENAL COLONY.
That Is what the belgian Government
Wants to Use the Congo For.

LONDON, September. % The Bel
gian government is considering the
holding of Catholic congress at Ma
lines that the Congo State be used as
a penitentiary colony. Owing to the
small Belgian emigration to the Congo
it is feared that the administration of
the Congo State win inevitably slip out
of Belgian hands unless something is
done to keep the Belgian element in
the ascendancy, and it is believed that
the best way to accomplish this, as peo-
pie will not go willingly, is to send CON
viets there. No doubt is felt, at the
same time, that much opposition would
have to be met in carrying out such a
programme, humanitarian sentiment
being influential in the direction Of
Belgium's penal Institutions
