searching gaze on Charles Cornell the
moment his name was mentioned. and

amounting to almost frown, swept
over his features. He saluted the two
men rather coldly. thought. making
them u scarcely perceptible bow, but

Red-Hot Protests From All Glasses
of People.


New YORK, July 25.-Charles G.
Burgoyne, the law printer at 146 Canal
street, who is known to nearly every
lawyer and law firm in New York, today
sent the following dispatch to Lieut..
Col. Streator, who is i'll command of the
Tenth regiment. which is stationed at
Homestead during the trouble at the
Carnegie works:
Lieut.. Col. Streator. Homestead, Pa-Law-
alb ding men who believe that every man is
entitled to trial before punishment will
agree with me that the outrage perpetrated
by you, Endorsed by your superior officers,
and participated in by your regimental sur
geons, IS crime only paralleled by the
crimes of q mob.
Ny check for a good round sum is at the
disposal of any Pennsylvania lawyer who

heve me. there are many men in this city. not
only humble citizens like myself, but mill
tary men as well. who are willing to loosen
their purse strings that such a monumental
CRIME may not go unpublished.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-The Penn

Gov. Pattison this morning against the
punishment of Private Iams at Home
stead yesterday:
Dear Sir-The shocking treatment OF
Private Iams. Company *. Tenth regiment,
n G. p. who was punished without trial at
the hands of Lieut. Col. Streator. is dis
grace to the military establishment of the
state. Such barbarity, perpetrated by Off
Gals of the state, is a serious reflection to the
commonwealth. We therefore ask that Lieut..
Col. Streator be relieved from further COM
mand. II appears that Gen. Snowden and
Col. Hawkins approved the atrocity, and
therefore are equally resnOnSlhle

THINK THIS OVER.

The state central committee of the
Alliance will meet this morning to COM
plete its state ticket. AT least, this
is the understood purpose Before doing
it there are some things these gentle
men should ponder.
What good can you accomplish by it?
You claim about $4,000 voters, but this
is mere guesswork. Grant it. If cast
for your ticket they will be simply
voting in the air. Can you give a
reason satisfactory to yourselves or
those whom yOu claim to represent why
there should be this waste of force?
DO you expect to take position
where you hope you may be able to
make some deal with the Democrats for
Offices? Is not the position of the Re
publican party today sufficient warn
ing OF what becomes of party in this
country when it exists merely to hold
Office? Can you expect your supporters
to sustain you in such paltry peddling?
What good reason can you give for
your separate existence, anyway? On
the tariff question you are all Demo-
cratic if your platforms spoke your
honest faith. What distinctive principle
of public policy or right have you that
is not Democratic? If you have such,
declare it, and stand up for it. and fight
tor it, and 20 down in defeat for il like
men. But to Justify your proposed
course you must have it.
The GLOBE has rendered YOU we'll
meant counsel. 1t repeats it. Make
manly acknowledgment of what every
body sees is the fact-that you are
Democrats On the one great issue. Be
brave enough to act Oil that fact There
is no other course open TO you that is
not also open to suspicion.

what the. New York Tribune terms "a
progressive lunacy" devised the land loan
plan. Let the government print more
money and lend it or farm security at 2
per cent interest. Col. OATES district
became infected, and the coloIels Dem
ocratic instincts at once put him in OPP
position to it as an unwarraRted use of
governmental power. His land-ioan
constituents pOintedly asked him to
explain why the government might
lend money to the New Orleans exposi-
ton on the security of its gate receipts,
and not lend money to farmer on the
security of his farm. 1t brought the
colonel up with round turn, but he is
plucky and honest, and he frankly told
them that he was utterly wrong in his
vote, and kept on opposing the land
loaners.
The GLOBE feels just as Col. OATES
did. that the question is one that cannot
be squarely answered. except as he an
swered it. The exhibition of the prod
uctS of industry is more a public pur-
pose than is the production of those
products. If loan is to be made to
enable Farmer JONES to exhibit his
pumpkins. why should it not be made
to him to raise them? The GLOBE gives

STATE PRESS TIPS.

II we may believe the Rock County Herald
the Peoples party is "anarchistic in its tend
encies. 1t declares war against capital, So
ciety and law, and it attacks the property
rights of every Citizen
The Litchfieid Review says: There is a
movement on foot to nominate for congress,
Joel P. Heatwoie, the able and popular edit
of the Northfield News. His ability and fit
ness for the position is unquestioned, and we
believe he is as strong man as can be nomi-
mated. The congressional convention will
do wise thing if it dominates Joel P. Heat
wole.'
The Hallock News calls attention to the
fact that 1.-The weather during the past week
has been such as to raise the farmers hope
for good crop. If a comparison is made
between the weather this year and that OF
last year by this time, we will find our present
outlook by far the most favorable. Last year
the month Of July was uncommonly wet and
cold, every shower being followed by cold
weather. while this year it is just the re-
verse. We have frequent showers and all
followed by nice warm weather, such as is
bound to push the grain IN maturing and
ripening."
The Crookston Times says that with DON
nelly for governor, and Doc Fish presidential
elector on the Peoples party ticket. il will
cut pitiable figure during the coming cam
paign, for even if the mass of the people
have but little time to give to public affairs,
they are not fools by any means. and they
cannot be crazed by such ratings and froth-
ings as Fish calls public speaking

pose to take civil action to have this
outrage righted. Nearly all the men
and many of the officers sympathze
with me. While | was in the guard
house some of the officers sent me beer
and lunch. The boys of my own COM
pany sent more beer and an offer of
financial assistance in prosecuting
Streator."
The most interesting feature OF the
case is whether corporal punishment
can be inflicted on soldier in a militia
camp under any circumstances. even
when martial law is in force. and
whether sentence such as that passed
on lams could be legally executed with
out the fOrmaliiy OF a court martial.
Gen. Snowden was asked tonight
whether court martial had been held
He said that his understanding was that
Inns had been convicted by such a tri-
bunal. He would not express an
opinion as to the business of the
punishment. That was a matter, he
said, within Col. Streator's jurisdiction.
Col. Hawkins, the provisional brigadier.
admitted that no court martial was held
because lamS bad acknowledged his
guilt.

a CONTRAST

On March 81, 1883. Secretary of State
BAYARD wrote a letter to Minister JAR
Wis. who was representing this country
i'll Brazil, and who had expressed de-
sire to come home and participate in
the political campaign of that year.
The letter was as follows:
can only say that 1 do not believe the
president would look With favor upon your
doing SO while holding Office under his ad-
ministration. 1t has been and still is his
purpose to give TO the people of the United
States an absolutely honest aid just admin
istraton, and 10 leave them free at the end
OF his term to express themselves for or
against the record SO made without official
interference or instruction.
BENJAMIN HARRISON owes his re-
nomination to the federal officeholders
who owed their appointments to him.
He brought New nome from his post as
consul general at Liverpool to take COM
mand of the bread and butter forces at
Minneapolis. He has in every possible
way untitled the federal patronage to
advance his own political fortunes, and
he even sought, through the force bill,
to place federal appointees in charge of
voting places.

November to choose between the meth

"A GOOD BILL. BUT WRONG IN

Under the MCKINLEY and prior

A SHAMELESS CONFESSION.


The Pioneer Press of yesterday morn
ing. in special from its Washington
correspondent, gave one Of the most cold
biooded and brutal eXpositions of Repub-
llcan practical politics" recently seen in
print. The SPECIAL discusses the pros
poets of the New Mexico, Utah and Ar
iona admission bills in the senate, and
brazenly explains how these three ter
ritories, possessing all the requirements
OF statehood, are to be kept out of their
rights in order to insure Republican
supremacy in the senate. And to cap
the climax of this shameless confession,
the article concludes with the assertion
that "if it is apparent that the Repub-
lIcanS have made substantial gains and
can retain their majority in the senate
without losses after the election next
fall, New Mexico may be admitted and
chances taken on it being Repub-
lican state" This bald and unbeau-
tiful acknowledgment of unworthy
motives is at least to be commended for
its candor. We are told, without evas-
ION or circumlOcuti0n, that the precious
privilege of membership in this great
sistefhood of states, a privilege having
Its origin from the heroism of our Revo-
lutionary sireS, Is TO be made the occa-
sion of piece of contemplate political
Jugglery. These territories, constitu-
tionally qualified for admission, are to
knock yainly at the doors during this
session, and probably during the next
session of congress, unless, indeed. the
pure, high-minded g. o. p. feels suffi-
GENTLY sure of its grip on the pluto
cratic senate to take chances on an
other state or two. The whole thing is
sickeningly consistent with the supreme
doctrine of the Republican party that
all should be lost-honor, honesty, pa
triotism, everything to save office.
