the interview with him which the
GLOBE publishes this morning. He

for congress. DANIEL BUCK is the no
bleSt Roman of them all, and no one ever
laId his eyes on him or heard his voice
without saying that he was an honest
and an able man. He is fit for the highest
honors the party has to beStoW, and
he would make an influential mem
Der and commanding figure in the ma
tionai house of representatives. DANIEL.
BUCK is surcharged with the spirit OF
tariff reform. He knows what this state
needs, and he has the courage of his
convictions. 1t is much more important
for the Alliance party to secure the cleo
tiOn of a Democrat, Jealous for the ac-
tualization of their principles, than it
would be to engage in hopeless fight
for one of their own number and secure
the return of Republican pledged to
Drotectionism aid coercion. In the same
way, the selection of a man like JOHN &.
HOMPE from the Seventh district would
carry with it much greater boon to the
commonwealth, even though he is not a
Democrat, than would follow from
three-cornered fight there and Repub-
lican victory. The GLOBE agrees with
Senator SEyATsoN that in this struggle
against monopoly principles and not
party names are the things to look to.

THE MAY EVENT.

The Republicans are becoming very
nervous and using various occult meth
DDS in reference to the conference that
is to be held at Cincinnati on tie 18th of
this month. Their efforts are to prevent
its moving towards a third party for the
national contest next year. They think
the Alliance will endanger their posses
sion of several Western states, and con-
Sequently they VIII have men in the
coming body to demand that separate
action shall hinge upon the course taken
by the Alliance in the South. MCGRATH.
president of the Kansas Alliance, is one
of this class. lie recently published an
open letter to the Southern members of
the order, asserting that if they did
not abandon the Democratic party
those he spoke for would go to the Re
publicans. So far as there is response
from the South it is that they have pos
session Of the Democratic party of their
states, and can operate most effectively
through it. They will not. probably, be
at Cincinnati. But MCGRATH was
promptly repudiated by the chairman
Of the Peoples party of Kansas. Those
forces are in the field without con-
tingencieS. There is a suspicion that
the presidents of the Kansas and Mime
sofa alliances will be found at Cincin-
ti.prompted by common inspiration.
Both are credited with high political as
pirationS and as likely TO bank a good
deal Oh the gratitude of their former
party If they can show that they have
thwarted a dangerous diversion. The
gathering will be the political event of
this month.

THE RIGHT WAY.

The GLOBE asks again, if there is any
sense in the protection theory, why
not go at it in the right way and in
crease wages by shutting out immigra-
tion?
food and clothing. When there is q
large supply of coal on the market and
few people to buy it. the price of coal
is low. When there is little coal on the
market and the weather is severe and
every one wants to buy some, its price
goes up.
When there is only one job vacant in
the town and two men are trying to get
it. they bid against each other. When
there are two jobs vacant and only one
man who can do them, the employers
run around trying to get him to go to
work. aud he can exact his own price
for his services.
The only way to help the workingman
is to limit the competition TO which ne
is subjected. This can be done by in
creaSing his efficiency so that he works
better than other men. Then he gets
into class by himself, where he is not
COSlANlCn Oy OGIClo WIN NOulQ ldhC lliO
place. But, if this is not possible, the
other device which is possible is to limit
the number of competitors by reducing
the population.
If the protectioniSts are sincere in
their assertions that the primary end of
all their endeayorS is to dignity labor.
let them build the wall against immi-
grafton so high that no more people can
come in. 1t does not help the working
man bit to restrict the supply of raw
materials and leave the supply of those
who would make their living cut OF
them without any check. The GLOBE,
as the friend of the poor, insists that the
true protection would be to expand
without limit the supply of all commod-
tiles over which labor can exercise
itself, and limit absolutely and vio-
entity, if need be, the number of labor
ers. This would make a great deal to
do and few to do it. This would make
cheap goods and high-priced men. Is
not this what the protectionists are
striving for? Why not go at it in the
right way?

HAS ITS MORAL.

Some two months ago a good man
died in New York. He was president
OF bank, a successful fnancier, and
the obituary notices dwelt pathetically
upon the loss to the community, society
and his family. He was man of fear
less integrity. whose record the breath
of diShonor could not taint. A week
OF so ago the bank examiner, in the
routine of his Office, visited the Ninth
National Bank of New York. and in his
exploration of the books struck a trail
that led into series of pecnlations by
the president, Mr.. HILL, the still la
mented good, man running thaOugh
period of years. The head of the
bank had been stealing from it,
craftily escaping the observation of
the directors or other officials. The
amount of the defalcation was above
100000. Perhaps the president was
coIsiderate in not going beyond the
ability of the bank to stand depletion.
I ears ago he had brother who was a
cashier of a bank and became a de-
faulter. He at once blew his brains out,
leaving his brother to bear the shame
and misery of the affair. The example
was not lost on the survivor When he
had access himself to the vaults of
bank, and began to plunder it, he avoid
ed the unhappy fate of his brother by
so carefully covering his tracks that
they were not found during any reason
able period for wearing mourning for
man who died at his post with sup
posed full pockets. He was probably
Indifferent to discoveries after his
death. Perhaps the moral to this story
will be seen.

THE TROLLEY SYSTEM

The electric street car is trying to
force itself into use in New York city
and in Brooklyn, but it does not make
much progress. The newspapers are
all against it, and there are mass meet
ings and protests of property owners
along every route which it proposes to
occupy. Everybody is opposed to it,
because they say it is inefficient, un-
slightly and dangerous.
We have had several months of the
trolley system in st. Paul, and probably
every one would vote that it is a sue
cess. Street car companies in the West
calculate that its substitution for horse
power increases their receipts 30 per
cent in very short time. The service
affords here is surely very efficient.
Delays and disturbances occur at very
rare intervals. The trains move rap
idly and with pleasant gait. There
have been absolutely no accide nts.
Even in the severest weather there were
no blockades. The conyeniences of
communication have been infinitely
multiplied, and the lives of all of us
have been heightened by the hour or
two day which has been saved for us
in getting to and from our places of
business. The New York Tribune saws
that it has not heard of single city in
which the overhead wire method has
given satisfaction. The GLOBE thinks
that it is making true report when il
says that in st. Paul and Minneapolis il

A GLOOMY VIEW

The young man who has succeeded
HENRY w. GRADY in the editorship of
the Atlanta Constitution IS out in a pub
lie criticism of Democratic men and
measures which makes short work of
the Democracy's leaders. He declares
that Mr.. CLEVELAND is not broad-mind-
ed enough to be statesman: that Mr..
HILL is only politician; that Gen.
PALMER is too old to be available; that
Mr. Villas is weak sister; that Mir.
DICKINSON is too "unammous," what
ever that may mean, to be of any use
and that Gov. GRAY. Of Indiana. labors
under the serious disability of not being
very well known by the editor of the
Atlanta Constitution. He thinks that if
Senator WoLCoTT, of Colorado. would
only become Democrat, there would
be an ideal candidate for the party, but
that as things stand now one statesman
alone lives and feeds upon the vital air,
and that statesman is JAMES GIL
LEsPIE BLAINE by Jingo. The young
man none the less announces that his
paper will be for the Democratic eapdi-
date i'll 1892, whoever he may be. and
that New York can name this man if it
cares to.
The GLOBE hopes that, after reading
the young mans opinion on the situa-
ton, the Democracy of New York will
do as he evidently expects it to, and
come out with card declaring its un-
willingness to interfere in a matter
which others so much better fitted than
itself can attend to. The young man
can then name the ticket himself, and
proceed with the serious task of carry
ing Georgia for the party. By the way,
what is this young mans name?

NEW IN POLITICS.

remarked the other day that the advance
OF the noXious insects had appeared, and
that was why she deprecated the un-
folding Of the season. In this come Z
tion it is noted that in a late campaign
for mayor in a New Jersey city, if the
bedbug was not exactly an issue, it
figured as considerable factor. A year
or two ago the son of the opposing can
didate had brought home from the pub
lie school, carefully embowered in his
apparel, few specimens of the nOXiOus
insect. The history is that the indig-
nant male parent wrote a reproving let

it was preserved, and in the campaign
it appears in the opposing papers, rails
ing the race issue. The other side
dubbed him the bedbug candidate and
the villilier of a nationality. There was
no way out of this but to charge that
the letter was a forgery. This he at
tempted. but he found that,in the spirit
of the poet, crush the bedbug as you
will, the scent of the varmint will be
there still. Whenever he rose before
the populace to yindicate himself, the
hoodlum cry of ''Bedbugs" was yelled
at him. His denial was taken as the
desperate recourse of cornered politi-
elan. There are legends that bloodShed

ONLY GooD ONES WANTED.

1t has been the impression for good
while that many Of the authorities over
the water regarded this country prop
er place to dump their human debris
and rottenness. Facts recently de-
veloped show that the shipment of
criminals to the United States has been
widely practiced. The officials at Ham
burg are reported very much surprised
at the return recently of a man con-
victed of murder, who was Imprisoned
one year and then sent to an asylum as
insane. where he remained tWenty-fOur
Y ears, and, on being discharged, the
authorities of German town paid his
way to America. Little concealment,
writer on the continent states, is made
of the practice i'll most parts of Eu-
rope to send their most vicious
criminals over here. Even SWitZ-
erland, which is republic, and
ought to have more regard for her big
transatlantic sister than the monarchies,
has not been entirely exempt from the
unkind practice. Some of the Germnn
localities are credited with having
saved good deal Of expense and much
annoyance III this way. 1t is reported
from Washington that the government
agents abroad are to be instructed to
make the matter subject of special in
vestigatiOn. 1t is not presumed that
the German government is aware of
such acts, and it Is possible that the
petty states and local authorities have
not carried it to the extent now in
dicated. The laws make it possible to
do something to stop the importation of
paupers, but do not cover effectively
the other class of cases. The attention
called to the matter will add to the
growing demand for greater diScrimina-
ton in admitting aliens.

Tracks.
Supt. Gray and Others Have
Been Arrested for Mur-

Labor Troubles Of Various
Kinds All Over the Coun-

SCoTTDALE, Pa. May 4.-The coke
region to-day was shaken from center
to circumference by just such another
scene as has been feared for weeks
since the dreaded Morewood killing. AT
Leisenring No. 3 last night man named
Mahan was shot dead and another seri-
Ously injured. Even at this hour it is
difficult to secure positive information,
owing 10 he.eXcitement caused by the
affair. The most reliable accounts, how
ever, agree that two Hungarians, who
had left the works. delayed their visit,
and Supt. Gray became suspicious,
and he, in company with his
assistants and four deputy sher-
ifs, visited House No. II, where
their workmen were enjoying them
selves immensely. Their entrance
caused stampede among the strikers,
and two of them rushed out. Mr.. Gray
and the deputies were followed to the
close they were compelled to back
down with rifles presented. They
stood ioff the mob as long as possible,
but man named Mahan rushed up to
one of the deputies, seized his rifle, and
grappled with him. This deputy fired,
and the balance followed suit. In the
fusilade the man fell dead, while an
other was injured. The remains of
Mahan, shrouded in black, are
on cot in House No. II
this evening. He was evicted from
this house about week ago and the
strikers to-day regained possession in
time to shelter his body. There are
grave apprehensions of further trouble
at Leisenring, and the force of deputies
IS largely increased. Deputy Coroner
Stone arrived at Leisenring, impan-
eled jury and conducted the exam
inatiOn. A verdict was rendered that
Mahan came to his death from gunShOt
wounds fired by an unknown person.
On information of Worthy Foreman
McSlOy. of the mine workers, ,Supt. Gray,
Mine Boss Callaghan and Yard Boss
Agnew were arrested for murder
and given preliminary hearing
before Squire Cotton, of Dunbar, who
held the defendants for trial. They
were taken to jail. The testimony adj
duced placed the blame of the shooting
on Gray. Some thirty families were
evicted to-day at Broadford. and more
would have been thrown out had not
the deputies objected to being stoned
and struck because they were not al
lowed to use their reyolverS on the
strikers. Tonight there are $500 men
at work, including the men at indie
pendent works and T.. w. Rainey'S.
There is no doubt slow but steady gain
being made on the men, owing to heavy
imports of labor Five carloads of Ital-
lanS arrived in the region to-day.

THE GERMAN SUNDAY.

1t is notable that while the demand is
for more of the German style of Sunday
observance at the worlds fair, and in
the cities generally, there is move
ment in Germany to turn little in the
other direction. The subject has ap-
peared in the deliberations of the reichs-
tag, and that body has indicated favor
for the reduction of ayoidable labor on
Sunday. This has taken the shape of
a request to the imperial chancellor to
confer with the local authorities in the
empire in order to secure concerted
action in reducing railway traffic to the
conveyance of passengers. The shops
are not to be allowed to be open longer
than five hours on Sunday. If this in
cludeS the beer dispensarieS, it will be
a decided step in the new di-
rection. 1t is not probable that
religious considerations have as much
to do with this tendency as the growing
influence Of the industrial and employed
classes. They would have the day for
rest and recreation. The cOmpulSion
of the law is invoked by those who
would close up their shops if others did
not keep open. 1t may be that the Ger
man Sunday will not be greatly dis
tinctiye from the American. The Ger
man spirit has permeated the public
mind in this country SO far as to make
it tolerant of latitude that would have
shocked it generation or two ago. 1t
would have labor cease so far as posi-
bic in the interest of those who work,
but beyond that leave the broadcast free
dom to the Individual consistent with
the respect due the religious Observ-
ances and the public order and de-

The trouble with the East is that it is
afraid of temporary expedients, and will
delay the march of Improvements for
half century in its unwiIlingness to
adopt anything until ithas been brought
to perfection. Brooklyn was a city of
half million people before it had its
water supply in general use, and New
York had gotten to be twice that
size with no more comfortable
means of going from one quarter
of the city to another than numbering
stage coaches and .stuffy and slowly
moving horse cars afforded. Out West
we take the best that can be had at the
time, andsput up with it until something
better is found. The trolley electric car
system is only a transitive device. After
few years the storage battery will be
made practicable and will supplant the
overhead wires. But great many OF
us will be dead by that time. 1t does
notseem very wise to be 50 conservative
as to postpone the enjoyment of all the
comforts and conveniences of life for
the generation which will come here
after.
