port of an intended great strike n 1893, in
which the name of Joseph He,nerle was
freely used Is stating that the strike was
sure to come off and be a gigantic affair,
and said Hemarle was said to be secretary
of the Switchleu's Mutual Aid associa-
ton, Grand Master Wilson. Of the switch

Hemerle would not know it. He is not
secretary Of the association and las lately
been fired from the position Of secretary
to his own lodge.
Confirmed by l5r. 1Ioriarity.
VI. j. Moriarity, master oi the Buffalo
lodge Of which Mr. Hemerle was formerly
secretary, was in the city Satu- day, and
corroborated the statements made by Mr.
Wilson. He said that no such proposition
had ever been considered by his own lodge,

desire to gain a little notoriety 10 further

Of a crime Mr.. Powderly. who is at the
head Of the Knights of Labor, charged that
we employed men of bad character, al
though he admitted that none of our men
had ever been convicted of crime. His
testimony before the judiciary committee
Of the house OF Representatives would have
resulted in his conviction for perjury if
given in court of justice and its falsity
would have been early shown had he been
eross-examined by any one familiar with
the facts"
Believes Labor Leaders Insincere.
After quoting some of Mr.. Powderly's
alleged testimony, Mr.. Pinkerton says: at
cannot reasonably be doubted that if labor
organizations, or their leaders, honestly
condemned outrage and force, they could
readily discipline and control their own
members, and we should no longer witness
the scenes that attend nearly every strike,
and that are such q disgrace to labor in
this country" Editorials from a number
of papers are quoted to show that il license
were given to the labor organizations it
could only end In anarchy.
Not Responsible for Violence.
To offset the assertions made before the
house committee by labor leaders, that
there would be no violence during strik IS

nIr. CIeveland's Strength.

That Grover Cleveland is stronger be-
fore the people today than he was four
years ago, no one at all acquainted with
present political conditions will venture
to dispute. Beyond question, he is now
the most trusted and popular, as he is
the broadcast and wisest of our states
men. There is nothing famboyant in
Mr.. Cleveland's rise and eminence.
1t has been steady, logical, inevitable.
Since his memorable administration of
the highest Office under the constitu-
ton, he has grown in favor with the
''plain people," who appreciate above
all things the simple and absolute integ-
rity which is as conspicuous in Grover
Cleveland as it was in Andrew Jackson
or Abraham Lincoln.
This fact was later to be the first cayNa
of Mr.. Cleveland's extraordinary hold
upon the esteem and affection of the
American people; for the presidency is
a final as it is a most severe and exalted
determination of character. 1t is no.
table paradox that there have been
among our twenty three presidents men
who would stand higher in the regard
of posterity had they never been sub
jected to the supreme tests of moral and
intellectual stability involved in the adj
ministration of the great office.
1t is the just and extraordinary claim
of Mr.. Cleveland's friends that by these
tests he has been approved incompara-
bly, the greatest man who has filled the
Office since Lincoln.

Another Tariff Trust.

When the Mckinley bill was under
discussion two years ago the pottery
makers wanted protection at the hands
of congress, and their representative
said:
cit is for you, gentlemen, to say
whether this struggling industry shall
be- destroyed for the benefit of foreign
manufacturers"
And so the Mckinley bill increased
the tariff protection on pottery. But
now we have a new story told us by
these same gentlemen. They have
formed trust composed of five COM
panies, and they declare:
''These five companies manufacture
and sell about 70 per cent. of the entire
output of the famous sanitary plumbing
ware made in this country. Some Of
them also manufacture fine toilet and
table ware"
In order to induce investors to buy
stock in the new trust the proprietors
advertise as follows:
'The books of the companies have been
examined by Messrs. Barrow, Wade,
Guthrie & Co., chartered accountants,
who find that the average net profits for
the past three years Q869, 1890 and 1917
have been 1914, 573.34, and that for the
last of these three years-viz., 1891-the
net profits were $4O1 200. The average
earnings will pay s per cent. on the pre-
ferred stock and over II per cent. on the
common stock. The earnings for 1891
will pay the dividends on the preferred
stock and over 16 per cent on the COM
mon stock, after providing for the ex-
pense Of management"
Such profits do not greatly appeal to
public sympathy. They hardly indicate
''struggling industry" But if profits
in the past have been big, what will
they be under the new tariff protected
trust?-Omaha World-Herald.

LOCAL PRESS POINTS
A Mysterious Visitation.

The Dodgeville Chronicle.
On Friday morning. of last week,
during violent electrical storm, a
ball of electric generation about as
large as half bushel measure, fell
upon the roof of the dwelling house
of Frank Prideaux, of this city, and
exploded with report like cannon,
tearing hole in the roof, about five
feet in length and two feet in width.
Particles of the electric fluid dispersed
in every direction, tearing the wood
works from their fastenings, melting
the tin spouts at the caves and the
screens in the wire doors, and setting
some clothing on fire in one of the
rooms, breaking window lights and
doing other damage about the build
ing, finally escaping through the
ground, blowing furrow in its way.
No one was injured, save from slight
shocks, but the whole visitation was
alarming and mysterious.

False Reports Run Down.

To break the force of facts gathered
by the New York World showing 500
strikes, lockouts and reductions of wages
in protected industries, The American
Economist, the high tariff organ, pub
lished a list of twenty eight protected
industries in which wages were said to
have been increased under the Mckinley
law. The list of twenty EIGHT alleged
increases of wages has been investigated
by Mr.. John De Witt Warner and found
to be fallacious.
Two of the establishments named in
The Economist were found not to have
any existence. One employed two men,
and the wages Of one of the two had
been increased from twenty-five cents a
day to fifty cents a day. The other
mans wages had been stationary at
$1.25. In seventeen of the twenty-eight
establishments the employees denied
that there had been any increase of
wages since the Mckinley act was
passed. In several there had been re-
auctions of wages. When there were
increases, the increases were trihing and
were the result of strikes and had been
accompanied by reductions. Such is the
finding. The Mckinley census" does not
pan out welcome facts.-Baltimore Sun.

No More Billion Congresses!

In his recent speech at Waverly, Ills.
Senator Allison was particularly I'M
happy in attempting to explain away the
iniquity of the billion dollar congress.
Among other things the senator said:
81 know Of no department of the gov
eminent where any considerable saving
can be made. know of no law on our
statute book now requiring appropria-
tons that is likely to be repealed; and
| know of no one in public life in any of
the great parties of our country that
purposes or suggests the repeal of any
statute now involving any considerable
expenditure of public money. So that
those who come after us will not be
able, under any probable condition of
affairs, to reduce the aggregate of ap-
preparations"
Heaven and the Democracy forbid! 1t
is, to say the least, hazardous in Repub-
hcan senator to declare, in the face of
the universal reputation of the billion
dollar congress-, that the practice of
economy shall never be revived in our
national administration. The people
will reject this monstrous proposition,
even as it has been already rejected and
refuted by the Democratic majority in
the present house of representatives.
And the verdict of the people will mean
the triumph of the Democratic idea Of
honest government economically admin
istered. Mark the prediction!
