The Negroes arc Holding an Indigna-
ton Convention.

ton Convention.
CINCINNATI, July 5.-The national
convention of representatives of the
colored race assembled in the main
audience room of the Zion Baptist
church on Ninth street. this city,
yesterday.
The details of the convention were
in charge of a committee consisting
of Messrs. Rudd, Turner and Porter.
The object of the convention has
been previously stated in these dis
patches, viz: to arouse the sympa-
thy and support of public sentiment
for the movement to put stop to
the outrages committed against the
colored people of the South becauee
they are colored, and to remove the
difficulties placed in the way of
their progress.
sued about a month ago, and the
responses led the committee to be-
lieye it would be largely at
tended. These responses included
letters from the prominent leaders of
the colored people, but did not con-
tain definite promises of attendance;
and at the last moment it was ap-
parent that but few of these would
be present.
Damn Rudd, editor of the American
Catholic Tribune, was made tempo
rary chairman.
After addresses in which the press
was blamed for the condition of
things in the country as regards the
negry, and the prediction was made
that war, bloody war" would en-
sue unless this condition of things
was changed; resolutions were pass
ed, reciting alleged wrongs of the
negro; declaring that his advance
ment depended on himself; calling
for negro military academy to
be located at Washington. The
convention then adjourned.

THE SILVER QUESTION.

The Democratic Senators in
the Senate were over hasty in
casting their votes for the free
coinage bill, and have probably
injured the cause of Democracy
in the campaign just opening.
The Democratic convention at
Chicago side-tracked the silver
issue, upon which the party is SO
badly split, and brought to the
| front the only distinctively Dem
ocratic issue, and the only one
upon which the party can win,
Tariff Reform. In the very teeth
of this the Senate by majority
of the Democratic volts in that
body, has passed a free coinage
bill.
The Baltimore Sun said q few
days ago that it would be mani
testify improper for Democratic
senator's by a discordant vote to
sketch out new program. But
this has been done, and it can
not but work to the detriment
of the party.
If thepeople of the United States
are expected to have any faith
in the word of the Democratic
party, all Democrats everywhere
ought to stanG by the party
platform, where that word is
pledged.
The only machinery for carry
ing out and putting into prac-
tice the will of the party is the
National Congress. The Senate
has rashly and inopportunely
disregarded the wishes of the
great Democratic party and it's
great candidate as expressed at
Chicago. 1t now hehooves the
House of Representatives to re-
peat it's action of short while
ago and sic down on free silver
again.
1t is reported that a desperate
fight will be made this time to
pass the Senate bill, and that
speaker Crisp will if necessary
consent to a cloture rule being re-
ported by his committee, for the
purpose of preventing filibuster-
ing by the anti-silver men. The
House cannot afford to consent
to this. Unjust reverse the Sem
ate's action and stand squarely
on the platform.
THE SENTINEL agrees with the
Baltimore Sun when it says:
"The Democratic majority of the
House, like the Democratic minority
of the Senate. must see in the silver
plank of the Chicago platform the
authoritative statement of the party's
attitude toward free coinage. In
short, Democratic Congressman cam
not consistently vote for the Stewart
silver bill because it is not in accord
with their party's expressed will. If
they are honestly Democrats their
course is marked out"

woRK1NaMAN, READ.

No sooner has the Republican
party paraded before the eyes o
the country the protection plank
in it's platform, which is to raise
the wages of the workingman.
than Mr.. Andrew Carnegie de
cides to make a general reduc-
ton of wages from 10 to 40 per
cent.
This extraordinary reduction
of wages is made while the great
Mckinley act is in force. This
triumph of Republican protection
is now being proven to mean
merely an increase of the luxu-
ries OF the rich and the rags of
the poor. The Mckinley bill was
desie ned from the beginning to
increase the wealth of the great
"robber barons'' of the country,
as Henry Watterson calls them,
the grinding monopolists, with
out a thought as to how it would
result for the lahorer.
Now, MIR. Andrew Carnegie
while reaping the benefit of the
increased protection of the Nc
Kinley actis on the eve of throw
ing 1000 iron workers out of
employment, because they refuse
to consent to such a reduction
as he proposes. And all this is
in the face of the fact that the
National Tube Works Company,
an iron mandatory in Pitts
burg, almost by side of Mr.. Car
negie's works, has agreed to pay
it's 1000 employees the same
wages as they are at present re-
ceiving!
This undoubtedly shows that
Mr.. Carnegie could do the same,
if he chose. eff the Pittsburg
Tube Works can make money
and declare dividends without a
reduction of wages, the Carnegie
Iron works can do SO likewise"
is the argument ofthe strikers in
their nightly meetings.
1t is now stated that Pinker-
ton detectives have been engaged
to prevent any violence and to
protect non-union men at the
works.
All this goes to show that Har-
rison, Mckinley and the Repub-
lican party are no friends to the
toiling masses of the people, and
that Grover Cleveland, whose
life work and destiny is to throw
off the chains OF protection which
are binding this great country in
the prisons of plutocracy, will re-
ceive many votes from the Pitts
burg district.

THEY'LL HANG THEMSELVES.

THEY'LL FANG THEMSEI YES.
1t begins to look now as if the
Republican party would hang
itself if enough rope is given it.
Almost itsevery move since Har-
rison's denomination has been
for the worst.
In the first place it cannot be
denied that Harrison has made
enemies by turning down Clark
son as chairman of the Republi-
can Nationalcommittee. J. Sloat
Fassett, of New York, says it
was q mistake. Tt was followed
up by another, in appointing as
Garrison successor WI. Camp
bell, Phil Armour's lawyer, who
is at the present moment the at
torney for the great Chicago Beef
Trust, and who has spent hislife
in fighting for the existence of
monopolies.

IT is now reported that Mr..
Armour, of Chicago, objects to
his paid trust attorney, W.. j.
Cambell, being made chairman of
the Republican National COM
mittee.
The exciting question then is
whether Mr.. Campbell win lay
his old Armour by, or put his
new armor on.

THE TIN PLATE INDUSTRY.

This is the truth about tin
plate. Since the passage of the
Mckinley bill which put high
duties ON imported tin, in order
to foster the tin industry in this
country, American manufacture
ers have only been able to srpply
one per cent of the demand for
tin plate, while the Mckinley
bill has increased taxes to the
amount of $40, 100000.

Loss About a Half a Million DoIIa

PROVIDENCE, R. l., July 5.-The
mammoth storage warehouse of b.
B. & K Knight, at River Point, to-
gether with an immense amount of
cotton and 1000 pieces of cloth, was
burned July 3rd. The building was
of wood, and covered over an acre of
ground. The loss is estimated at
100000. The Knights are among
the largest cotton manufacturers in
the country and operate half a dozen
mills in the valley, most of their cot
ton being stored at River Point.

KEEP THE TRAITORS OUT.

There has been some doubt
am ong a few honest and well
meaning men about the proprie-
ty of attacking men in the Dem
ocratic party whose political
principles were known to be de-
fective and whose influence,
whatever it might be, would be
exerted to do more harm than
good.
We take the ground that when
a man ceases to cooperate and
sympathize with, and be govern
ed by the principles of a party,
the creed of a church, the laws of
society, then it is time and full
time that he should get out as
his presence can do no good and
may tend to do material harm.
If a christian church finds a
leacherous scoundrel in it's fold
"a man who neither regar DIS it's
creed or lives a life CONSTANT
with its requirements-heis turn
ed out and his name dropped
from the list of it's members.
The same thing occurs in a
society when it finds it has a
member who neither regards his
obligation or obeys it's laws.
But a political party, party
whose principles sustain and sup
port our social fabric, guards
with its strong arm our homes
and protect our lives, giving as
the blessing of peace, is expected
to embrace traitors, sympathize
with disorganizers and kindly
welcome disruptionists.
We say away with such insane
conservatism, better sell DUTY
party or admit there is nothing
in it that is worth having, for
just so sure as you permit disor-
ganizers in it's counciljust SO sure
will the time come when itscoun-
ellis will not be worth attending.
The Democratic party is suffer-
ing today from the evil effect of
disorganizers who were permit
ted to remain in it's rank far too
long, remaining there under the
pretense of being Democrats with
the sole object of misleading DEM
ocrats
When an army is engaged in
war and a traitor is found in
camp, he is taken out and shot
as more dangerous than an open
foe and we are one of the number
that think an open foeis far more
preferable than a sneaking Sec
ret enemy whose friendship you
are trying to retain by permit
ting him to enjoy your company,
when really he is stabbing you
in the back all the time.
A man is foolish who wastes
his timein trying to makefriends
out of treacherous foes, better
pay more attention to your
friends, stick to them closer. 1t
is by all odds the more profita-
BILE plan. First, hushdon't be to
hard on them. Next supporting
an Independent ticket and the
next is conniving with the enemy
or directly or indirectly joining
hands with the Third party men.
These evolutions follow in pretty
quick succession and are usually
gone through with by an un-
politician.

BASE BALL NOTES.

The Cuban Giauts on Friday met what
might be expected by any club that risks
its reputation and the lives of its players
by giving an exhibition at Jeanesville.
They were defeated, or robbed rather,
by score of s to Z. From the accounts
of those who witnessed the game the
treatment given the colored men was
simply disgraceful, and would not be
tolerated in another town in the state
The umpire was Mayer, one of the
Jeanesville players, and the Giants gave
him the credit of being the rankest they
ever met. Even the Speaker, which
generally stands up for Jeanesville,
right or wrong, says "the Jeanesville
boys cannot defeat them in game
where fairness only exists"
Grant, of the Cuban Giants, won on
Friday the standing prize of S. and a
silk hat for knocking the first fly ball
over the centre field fence at Jeanesville
The Tigers and several of their friends
went to Silver Brook yesterday, and
were defeated by score of ii to 10.
The game was poorly-played by both
teams, owing to the condition of the
ball field. The batteries were Brisln
and Gaffney and the Ward brothers.
Silver Brook has strong club this
season, being strengthened by Joe Nc
Geady and John McGarvey, who are
working there.
A large crowd of people witnessed the
game between the Weatherly boys and
the Fearnots at Drifton yesterday. 1t
was a poorly contested game, the Wea-
therly boys being no match for the Fear
nots. The score was 81 to in favor of
the home team.
In order to catch train the Cuban
Giants left Lansford at the end of the
ninth inning on Saturday. The score
stood 4 to 4.
Jeanesville defeated Mahanoy City on
Saturday, Is to 2.
Silver Brook will play the Tigers a
return game on Sunday at the park.

The New Ballot Law.

The attention of our readers to-day is
called to the new ballot law, which is
printed on the second and fourth pages
of this issue. 1t is something that even
the most intelligent voters do not yet
thoroughly understand, and it is to the
interest of every citizen to make himself
thoroughly conyersant with its details,
in order that he may not only be able to
vote correctly but that he may be quail
fled to explain to others the most impor-
tant changes from the methods hereto
fore used. The new law is not by any
means what is known as the Australian
system, although it is generally called
by that name. 1t is very poor imita-
ton of good secret ballot law. and is
filled with several suspicious holes, but
it is as good as could be expected from
the party that had control of the legis-
lature when it passed. Still, whether
good or bad it is now the law, and the
more it is studied the less number of
votes will be thrown out as illegal on
election day.

One of the grandest events of the sea-
son took place in Oakdale last week.
The boys and girls had been preparing
for week and when it came they en-
joyed it immensely. Singing and dane
ing were the principle features, although
ice cream and cake was to be served it
failed to appear, as some of the boys
took French leave with the freezer.
James Furey, who has been in Phila-
delphia for several weeks, returned on
Thursday.
Miss Rose Boyle is spending few
days here among friends.
The Misses O'Donnell, of Philadel-

place, went to Philadelphia and intends
to make her future home with her
daughter Kate, of that city.
Testimony was taken in the auditors
contest on Friday.
Misses Winnie and Maggie Munday,

Abacadabra, word that was fre.
quently used by the ancients, but for
centuries has been obsolete, has been
brought into use again. 1t was I'M
earthed in the vicinity of Lattimer and
is very common here at present.
One of our boys who is very fond of
tokens, which he takes from his lady
friends at every opportunity, was seen
vending his way, lantern in hand, one
night last week in search of a costly
token he had lost on the road between
Drifton and here. After searching for
three hours he returned disguised.
He since explained it was a ring, valued
at $40, but the young lady says she
drew it in a five-cent prize package.
How is it, F?

nant and threatened to have him arrest
ed, then he said the agent had skipped
by the fastesttrain on the Lehigh Valley
Railroad, but they had caught him and
he was now serving time for the offense.
He further explained that thirteen
photos and as many more half-dollars
was the amount Johnson, the agent, ran
away with and it would not occur again.
In few weeks we expect to see this
concern exposed, as the lady is deter
mined to have the company arrested,
for she is of the opinion this business is
only carried on in the mining towns
where the people are considered too poor
to have them arrested.
James Costello, of Lattimer, who is
seeking political honors, was here last
week looking up his chances. Jim is a
good fellow, but that is not counted in
politics in this town.
The breakers have been suspended
for three days last week.
