The BEGINNING OF THE END
Two Of the Mines Fix up Their Trouble
With the Union.
The Tiger and the Poorman Ready to
Resume-OtEers Are Expected to
Follow Soon.

Wallace, Idaho, June 11.-Un-
questionably the Cnur d. Alene
miners have won the first heat.
The following provisions were sub
mitted to the central executive
committee of the miners union to-
day by the Poorman and Tiger
management:
We will start up under the fol-
lowing conditions: Will pay
uniform scale of $3.50 per day, as
announced in our circular of March
10. No discrimination will be
made against any of our old en-
ployes on account of any part they
may have taken in the strike or on
account Of any organization to
which they may belong. We claim
and insist on the right to hire and
discharge whom we please without
dictation from any man organiza-
ton. If our old employees desire
to 60 to work, we would much pre-
fer them to new men. If, however,
they refuse, they cannot kick or
say we took advantage of them if
their places should Be filled by
others.
This was dated at Burke, June
II. 1t was the first gun, and the
central committee at once tele-
graphed from Wallace the following
agreement, which was signed by
both mine-owners and miners:
Members of the miners union, of
Burke, Gem, Mullan and Wardner
are hereby authorized to accept the
proposition of of the Poorman and
Tiger mines as above made on the
following conditions. Day shifts
to be ten hours; night shifts to be
nine hours, and and a short shift
day and night on Saturday; $3.50
to be paid to all men working under
ground. The mines have the right
to discharge and employ whomso-
ever they will, it being expressly
understood that there is to be no
interference on the part of the mine
owners with the unions or their
members or by the unions or their
members with the owners or ON
ployes of tho aforesaid mines.
There is great rejoicing in every
mining camp in the C9ur d'Alenes
tonight The brass band is parad-
ing the streets of Wallace and giant
powder is exploding on the hillside.
This, of course, may not settles the
difficulty with other mines and
President O'Brien of the crentral
union is very conservative and
frankly admits that the fight is not
yet ended, but he has great hopes
of coming to a similar settlement
with all the other companies. On
the other hand, some of the mine
owners assert that the action of the
Poorman and Tiger people in giving
in to the miners has only confused
matters and that a settlement is
farther away than ever. Outsiders
seem to be of the opinion that from
now on each company will settle
with the union on it's own hook.

PUTRID ROT.

Do Republican Papers Take Their Read

1.-THE we are brothers racket don't
go down in Georgia, Alabama and South
Carolina The alliance party of Kansas
ought to realize by this time that they
are simply being used to weaken
strong republican state. "-Leavenworth
Times.
Republican papers are filed with this
kind of rot ever since the occurrence of
the outrage upon Gen. Weaver in
Georgia Do they take their readers
for internal fools? Do they have an
idea that men and women of good sense
can be made to believe that the
hoodlums who perpetrated these
outrages, or the political harlots
who stand in the back ground
and hiss them on, compose the
representative masses of the state
of Georgia? They know better. but
they see in this affair an opportunity to
revive the bloody shirt racket which
has served them so well in former
years, and hence their tears because the
alliance of Kansas is being used to
weaken strong republican state. :"
Down south the democratic patriots (?)
who sustain the same relation To the
alliance as their republican allies
do IN the north. tell the people that
they are being used to weaken the
democratic party, and there is just as
much sincerity and honesty in the one
as In the other, and just as much sense:
and the people of each section take lust
about as much stock in what they saw
IN the one case as in the other Topeka

cOWARDLY FALSEHooDs.
Lies and Abuse Are the Only Argument
Left For Republican Use.

Lies and Abuse Are the Only Arguments
Left For Republican Use.
One of the latest and basest frauds
perpetrated by the republican party has
just come to light, and is the work of
the Chicago Inter Ocean. It has been
the unconcealed attempt of old party
papers for long time to deliberately
lie and to falsify peoples party records
In order to place the reform movement
in a bad light with old soldiers and the
railroad men, but the Ananias on the
Inter Ocean completely overtops his
brother liars in recently issued sup
plement of that paper. This supple
ment gives what purports to be copy
of the peoples party platform, and was
issued for the purpose of hoodwinlzing
the railroad men. 1t gives the third de-
mand of the Omaha platform as follows:
Third, We believe that the time has come
when railroad corporations will either own the
people or the people will own the railroads, and
should the government enter upon the work of
owning and managing any and all railroads, we
should favor an amendment to the institution
by which all persons engaged in government
service should be disrrGnchised, so as to preveni
an increase In the power Of corporations, and that
rGitcGy employees ahould be excluded from voting
the some as IN the Dtstrict Of Columbia
Presumably by accident, the first part
OF the plank is given correctly, but that
part in italics is solely the creation of
the Inter Ocean It should read as fol-
lows:
placed under a civil service regulation OF the
most rigid character, so as to prevent the in
crease of the power Of the national administra-
ton by the use Of such additional government
employees"
The peoples party is now, always has
been, and intends to always be, the
friend of the railroad men. Were it's
demands framed into laws the salaries
of railroad employees would be raised,
and more than that wages would come
as regularly as pay day. Positions
would not be dependent upon the will
of few autocrats who create and de-
stroy offices at their pleasure or to favor
friends, but every man would be sure
of work, and steady work, as long as
his conduct deserved it
Every peoples party man and every
reform paper ought to make it his duty
to refute the deception of the Inter
Ocean, for the supplement has obtained
quite large circulation and will be
used freely as campaign document un-
less exposed. Topeka Kan. Advocate.

ADY IN 1881 VS.. ADY IN 1892

1t is Very Unpleasant For a Politician to
Find That He Once Warmly Advocated
What He Now Bitterly Condemns.
Hon. j. w. Ady, in the course of a
speech at Wichita, Kan, on October 8,
summed up as follows:
Against government ownership
there were four conclusive objections.
First, the cost of purchase, which would
be unattainable by the government.
Second, such ownership would add a
million persons to the civil list as gov
eminent employees Third, were the
railroads owned by the government it
could not be compelled to pay damages
for any loss or injuries. Fourth, such
ownership would remove all railroad
property from taxation and in Kansas
this year the taxes paid by the rail-
roads amounted to 81, O4O, 900.
But during the legislative session of
1881, in the state of Kansas, Mr.. ADV,
then in the Kansas senate, voted for the
following senate concurrent resolution
No ID, asking congress to provide for
building a government railroad from
the Atlantic seaboard to the Missouri
river
Whereas, The increase in the agricultural
OF the west mas been much faster
than the means of transpor tation. thereby pre-
venting realization of the highest prices for
our products by preventing their being mar
keted at a seasonable and most advantageous
time; and
Whereas The complete and comprehensive
view Of this fact contains conclusive proof that
government railroad would furnish prompter
and cheaper means of transportation. anording
to the people OF the different sections OF our
country the opportunity for a more speedy in
terchange of their products and at a less cost
thereby solving the vexsd question of adequate
and cheap transportation; and this question
is In the highest degree national in character
and of peculiar Importance, not only to Kansas
but to all the agricultural states of the west;
therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate, the House Of Rep
sentativeS concurring therein:
First-That our senators from this state be
instructed, and our representatives in congress
requested, to urge in the congress of the United
States the building of double-track govern
ment freight railroad from the sea coast on the
east to the Missouri river on the west, so as to
make the main line accessible for commercial
purposes to the people of all the states Of the
Mississippi valley.
Second-That copy of these resolutions be
transmitted by the secretary of state to our
senators and representatives. in congress, with
the earnest request that they urge the measures
herein contained.
This was adopted at the Legislative
session of 1881.

Buchanan HAD plurality of $1,000 two
years ago, but since then there has
come the split in the democratic party.
The peoples party is well organized in
every county in the state and is very
strong in western and middle Tennes-
see where democratic majories have
been the rule. The alliance has a
membership of more than rs. 600 in the
state, and should these farmers vote for
Buchanan it would wipe out the demo
cratic majority of two years ago Four
years ago Gov. Taylor's plurality was
only 1900, and that gentleman now
admits that the Dorch law has only
given them plurality of about 80, 600,
which may be entirely overcome by the
vote for Buchanan. Gov. Taylor re-
fused to make any estimates of demo-
cratic pluralities in November.-Chi-

enthusiasm IL Nebraska.

The populists of Weeping Water,
Neb., held an enthusiastic rally the
other evening. There were plenty of
people, plenty of speakers and plenty
of enthusiasm Accommodations for a
large crowd were provided and they
were none too complete. w. L. Cundiff
was the first speaker. He dwelt at
some length upon the records of both
old parties and showed what had caused
the birth Of the new party, and what
things made, as he believed, victory in
the coming election certain. He was
followed by Jerome Schamp, who spoke
on the fundamental principles of the
peoples party.

Hard Hits.

A few evenings since an enthusiastic
meeting of populists was held at Omaha,
which was addressed by j. Il. Romine,
a noted peoples party orator, who roast
ed the real calamity howlers" in true
style. He spent few minutes in show
ing up the Inconsistency of the repub-
hcan tariff taffy, which the ennis
saries of the banks are trying to fool
the people with. He cited how the re-
publican speakers argued that the tariff
raised the prices of articles and in the
next breath declared that the tariff
lowered the prices Mr.. Romine OBJ
served that If the raising of the tariff
lowered the price of the goods, he wished
to know how high it was necessary to
raise the tariff until we got the goods
for nothing. In speaking of Whitelaw
Reid, Mr.. Romine said it reminded him
of the story about a man who persisted
in taking big dose of cod liver oil every
day, and when asked why he did so, he
said it wasn't because he liked it, but
because he wanted to see how much his
stomach could stand Mr.. Romine re-
marked that the workingman who could
stomach Whitelaw Reid must have a
most powerful digestive organ. In re-
viewing the financial legislation of the
past thirty years, among other things,
the speaker referred to the exception
clause which has been placed on the new
treasury notes of the series of 1890,
which reads: '"This note is legal ten
der at its face value In payment of all
debts, public and private, except when
otherwise expressly stipulated in the
contract" Mr.. Romine said that the
money syndicate were making their
farm mortgages, etc, payable in so
many ounces of gold" and that at the
proper time they would lock their gold
up and by this exception clause drive it
to great premium, and enable them to
swallow up the farms and homes of our
people and inaugurate the accursed sys-
tenn of landlord and tenant, which they
have been so successful in doing across
the sea- Mr.. Romine warned his hear
ers against returning despotism, and de-
clared that the money lords were afraid
of the people, and to hold their ill-got-
ten gains desired king and standing
army to stand between them and the
outraged people. He closed with an
account of the progress of the peoples
party, and claimed more states for Gen.
Weaver than Harrison and Cleveland
will carry combined.
