Republican League Clubs.
The Work which They Are TO DO in this
Campaign.
National and State League Call for Meet
ings next Tuesday Evening,

National and state League Call for Meet
ings next Tuesday Evening,
Gen. James 5. Clarkson, the president of
the Republican National League is evident
ly determined to have the Republican
League clubs take very active part in this
campaign lie has issued a call for every
Republican club in the United States to
meet at 7:30 on Tuesday evening. Aug. 1G,
to organize Marching Campaign club, >
and he especially urges that First Voter
clubs and boys clubs be organized in every
community where this is possible. The
call adds that "Much novelty in the organ
ization OF clubs should characterize this
campaign. This can be accomplished by
forming bicycle clubs, cavalry clubs, and
clubs of workingmen employed in new in
dustries established under the Mckinley
bill. In some portions of the country
ladies will organize cavalcades, or horse
back clubs, as in the campaign of 1910
In populous counties, or congressional
districts, clubs can form into regiments
and in populous districts, or states, into
brigades and divisions
A prize of standard of American colors
is offered to the state league that sends to
the National League convention, to be held
at Buffalo, y. y, Sept l, "a regiment or
brigade of the most and best drilled cam
paign clubs
In response to the call from the Nation
al League, President Childs of the Repub-
ican League of Vermont has a call for all
Vermont Republican clubs to meet next
Tuesday evening to organize Marching
clubs for service in the present campaign.
at is suggested that where the member
ship of clubs renders a compliance with
the request of the National organization
mpracticable, the meeting be utilized in
making necessary arrangements for attend
ance upon the grand rally at Burlington,
August 30, and for increasing the member
ship and perfecting measures to ensure the
attendance of Republicans at the polls on
the day of election.
at is of special importance that mem
bers of the several clubs. and Republicans
generally, should understand the proyi-
slons of the ballot law under which the
election is to be held, and to this end, Off
GERS of the several clubs should familiarize
themselves with its details, and some part
of the evening can he wisely employed in
explanation of them.
at is earnestly urged upon the Republi-
can voters, in towns where there are no
club organizations. to call meetings on that
evening for the purpose of forming clubs
aud thus rendering effective aid in the dis
semination of Republican truths and assur-
ing a substantial victory for the Republican
candidates.

The AdIournment of Congre.s.

The first session of the Fifty-second Con-
gress finally came to an end at II o'clock
last Friday night, its closing act being the
passage, after much wrangling and iiltbus-
tering, of a compromise bill giving the Chi
cago worlds fair the sum of $500, 600.
1t is when one tries to count up the work
of importance that has been accomplished
that he sees what a paucity of actual results
there is to show for a session eight months
long. Beside the worlds fair BILL a new
Chinese exclusion law of more than doubt
full wisdom, a law to give American regis
try to two Inman steamships, a bill to pen
sion army nurses, and the regular appro-
priation bills, have been enacted, and this
about completes the list.
When the session began, with a Demo-
cratic majority of almost 80 in the House,
there were three things which that body
was especially pledged to do. 1t was to
adopt rules which would restore the free
dom of debate which it was asserted that
"Czar" Reed had destroyed; it was to re-
peal the "robber tariff" and it was to set
a shining example of economy and retrcnch-
ment. The session is over, and here are
the results. The House so hampered it.
self with its own rules that every measure
of importance which it passed was "rail-
roaded' through with an allowance for de
bate so small that it was positively ridicu-
lous. The tariff was attacked on the 'pop-
gun system, few articles being singled
out, and bills have been sent to the Senate
removing the duties on raw WOOL binding
twine, cotton ties, and few other things
So far as economy is concerned, the appro-
priations at this session exceed those of
the first session of the Fifty-hrst Congress,
so much maligned as "Billion Dollar
Congress- by more than S5O,OOO,O 900.
These are the main points in the record
of the Democrats in the session just closed.
For some of the details, told in his own
droll, incisive and pungent way, the reader
is referred to extracts, elsewhere printed,
from eX-Speaker Reeds article contributed
to the New York Press.

ing of it because it had reduced the duties
and permitted an increased importation of
competing foreign iron-a point which free
trading politicians would hardly care to
emphasize. Beyond that they could find
nothing in which the Homestead trouble
touched the tariff any more than it touched
the mountains of the moon. The Demo
cratic attempt to manufacture party cap
ital out of this deplorable affair is an utter
fasco, so humliating that even so much
as to mention Homestead to a Democrat
for year to come will be an act of dia-
bolical cruelty

MINOR NOTES.

The United States commissioners to the
International monetary conference are to
be Senator Allison of Iowa, Senator Jones
of Nevada, Representative McCreary of
Kentucky, Henry w. Cannon of New
York and Francis A. Walker of Massa-
chusetts.
The sundry civil appropriation bill en-
acted by Congress contains an anti-Pinker-
ton plank providing: "That no employe
of the PinkertOn detective agency or any
similar agency shall be employed in any
government service or by any officer of the
District of Columbia.
Awed by the decision of its supreme
court, the Democrats of Michigan have
met in the legislature and passed district
ing bill which the Republicans admit to be
fair and honest. On this the legislature
will be elected this fall. The gerrymander
is now practically dead and the people will
see that it is kept so.
The total number of immigrants arriv-
ing in the United States for the year end
ing June 80, 1892, was go, 1920, as COM
pared with 500, 400 during the previous
year. The whole of these immigrants
came from Europe except the small num-
Der of 24,201, which is clear enough proof
of the esteem in which protected America
is held by the fIee-trade laborers of Eu-
rome

During the session just closed Congress
passed law making 1t Illegal for mechan-
les and laborers employed upon work for
the government though hired by private
citizens, to work more than eight hours in
any one calendar day, except in cases of
great emergency, of the existence of which
the government is to be the judge. This
will necessarily largely increase the cost of
the government work, but the most serious
confusion and embarrassment will arise in
establishments not devoted wholly to gov
enment work. In these the men employed
on that work must stop as soon as the
eight hours are up, though they may at
the same time be engaged on other work
The law appears on its face to be a partic-
ularly rank and mschievous bit of dema-
gogical sop thrown to the labor agtators
who are by no means the real friends of
the workingmen.

Another Tariff object Lesson.

From the New York Tribune
A practical object lesson on the operation
of the Mckinley tariff law comes from
Patchogue, a thriving place on the south
shore of Long Island. Before the Mckin-
ley act was passed there was in the village
small factory, in which imported lace
curtains were bleached. When the duty
on these goods was increased from 40 to go
per cent the importers decided to manu-
facture the goods. There are now fourteen
machines in operation in a large factory
and 200 hands are employed, men earning
from S25 to $50 a week and women from
SO to So a week. A new industry has been
established there with a wage-roll of S7S,-
600 a year and product of 100000. At
the same time, cotton lace curtains are not
higher in price today than they were two
years ago when the Mckinley act was
passed. With increased competition and
improvement of the machinery the price of
the goods will be speedily lowered. But,
even as matters stand, consumers have no
cause for complaint since the price has not
been raised, and Long Island town has
been benefited by the introduction of a
new industry Offering employment for its
working people.

when Rogues FaII out.

a very interesting state of things has
developed in Alabama, where state
election was held the other day, and
Democratic majority, which has heretofore
been anywhere up to 1000, took tumble
to a paltry 10000 or so for Gov. Jones,
who was candidate for reelection. The
best of it is that Kolb, the Alliance Demo
cratic candidate, who was his competitor,
declares that he (Kolb) was elected by at
least 10000 majority, and that it was only
by systematic, notorious frauds all over the
state that his majority was wiped out and
the election given to Jones. In many
places all the election officers were Jones
men, he says. In the ten "black belt"
counties two votes were returned for every
vote cast by a legal voter. In Dallas
county 1000 Kolb majority was turned into
700 Jones majority. IL mean to exhaust
every remedy to secure my rights and the
rights of those whom | represent Kolb
declares, and this is construed as meaning
that he viii challenge the official count in
the courts.
There is evidently a more healthy and
hopeful state OF affairs growing up in
Alabama than has existed there in many

A Son OfNermOmt.

Among the noted sons of Vermont, now
living in the West, is DR.. d. X Pearsons,
of Chicago. The doctor was born in Brad
ford, VT, about seyenty-two years ago.
BY hard work he saved enough money to
take him through Dartmouth college and
pay for a schooling in medicine. He prac-
ticed his profession in ChicOpee, Mass,
until 1857, when he went to Illinois, finally
settling in Chicago There he amassed
fortune in the real estate business He
has wife but no children, and lives at
Hinsdale, suburb of the great city. He
devotes his time now chiefly to the man
agement of his estate and in search for
worthy objects on which to bestow his
bounty. He has given away more than
Sl,OOO,OOO BelOit, Lake Forest college,
Knox college, the Chicago Theological sem

does not believe that inherited money is a

The result of the building strike in New
York ought to be a lesson to all working
men. Urged on by the walking delegates,
10000 wOrkmen struck. The result is that
they have lost 81, 600, 900 in wages and are
compelled to yield. During all this time
the walking delegates have been drawing
the salaries paid by the men they had de-
prived of wages, The quicker the men
get rid of the walking delegates, the better
off they will be.-BoStOn Record.
And what was this strike all about?
Why, simply that five or six weeks ago an
engineer employed on the new criminal
court building in New York refused to pay
fine imposed on him by his union, and
his employers declined to make him do So
Thereupon the despot known as the walk
ing delegate ordered a strike on the build
ing, and from this absurd beginning
involving but few dollars, general stop
page of work spread throughout all the
building trades of the city, with the result

An IngIOrIOus Ending.

1t is a significant fact that the sub-com-
mittee of the Democratic House of Repre-
sentatives, which went to Homestead to
investigate the labor troubles there, was
instructed to withhold its report until the
next session of Congress. This action
means that the Democrats were completely
disappointed and upset by what they found
at Homestead. They went there i'm high
feather, expecting to uncover whole ar
scnal of facts and developments with which
to attack the Republican policy of protec-
ton. They held hearings, took testimony,
found out everything they could, and went
back 1.-THE meekest and most subdued lot of
politicians ever landed in the city of Wash

"What they saw and heard in Pennsyl-
vania," says the Boston journal, twas a
revelation to these Bourbons who knew
Northern industry. They came expecting
to find the strikers a wretched, ignorant
and half-starved rabble, living in novels or
caves in the mountain side. They found
an intelligent, prosperous, progressive com
munity, with churches, schools and thea
tres. They found mill workmen owning
blocks of houses, occupying homes them

man would envy, and earning from 81 tC

Knock-Down Arguments.

Figures just published for the fiscal year
ending June 80 show a notable decrease in
imports and tremendous increase in eX-
ports. In other words, the balance of trade
is largely in our favor. This is Just what
the Mckinley bill was intended for; to
provide home market for home consum-
ers and to compel other nations TO buy our
products. In domestic manufactures
alone last year we gained S145, ,S54, s16 in
exports over the preceding year, while i'm
breadstutfs there was an increase of SILL
100000, and so on all along the line.
Figures like these are the most powerful
arguments against the calamity shrieker
and the free trade phlanthropist.

Another splendid diplomatic triumph is
to be set to the credit of the Harrison adj
ministration. Canada yields promptly to
the Presidents demand that the unjust
discrimination against American vessels
on the Welland canal should be abolished.
BY an order in council of the Dominion
cabinet the obnoxious rebate system is re-
pealed, and henceforth treaty obligations
will be strictly complied with, and Amer
lean citizens and British subjects will en-
JOY the use of Canadian canals on terms Of
perfect equality.

DIR. stone of Troy for state senator

Bfs EtOhe OA AHOy HAANc
Editor The PhGnir: Dear SH:-As the
time for the nomination of state sena-
tor for the 14th district draws nigh, the
names of several candidates for the honor
are prominently mentioned. One thing is
certain. The southwestern part of Chesh-
ire county has been ably represented in the
senate years past; in word, has had its
share. There is a very general feeling
among Republican voters in the Ashuelot
valley that if a candidate is to be selected
from another section of the county, DR.. NJ.
T. Stone of Troy should have the nomina-
tion. DIR. Stone is chairman of the Keene
board of examining surgeons. He has
represented his town in the legislature, he
is an earnest, progressive Republican, and
public spirited citizen, and if elected
will legslate wisely and with an eye to the
educational and financial interests of the
state. In making the above statement we
are quite sure that we reflect the views of
many prominent Republicans, not only in
Hinsdae but in Winchester, Chesterfield,
and other towns bordering the Ashuelot
| river. A REPUBLICAN.

Judge Rumsey of the supreme court of
New York rendered decision at Roches-
ter last Friday declaring the legislative ap-
portionment of the state, made by the
Democrats, unconstitutional. The decis-
ion is based on four points, the most i'm
portant of which is that the act is void
because the districts are grossly unequal
both as to Senate districts and the distri-
button of assemblymen. The opinion cites
decided. The matter goes now to the
court of appeals. That court is Demo
cratic, but if the case is heard and decided
on its merits Judge Rumseys decision will
unquestonably be affirmed.

Some time ago the st. Johnsbury Repub-
lican was very sarcastic in what it had to
say to the Burlington Free Press about the
use of the word ''nee.' The Republican
should now turn its attention to its own
staff, judging from its report of the polit-
ical demonstration at st. Johnsbury Mon
day night. The Republican says the ''citi-
zens certainly manifested vim enough and
of the right quality to do their share in
rolling up majority of $4,000 in the old
Green Mountain state in September for the
Republican nominees, Benjamin Harrison
and Whitelaw Reid. If the other counties
do as well there need be no fear as to the
result Vermont is the first state to cast
its ballot for the next president and its
vote has no small influence with that OF
the other states" All of which is very

WRtsOn's Charges.

The House of Representatives was a
good deal stirred up during the last weeks
of the session over certain charges made
by Mr.. Watson, an Alliance member from
Georgia, in a campaign book which he pub
lished. The most serious of these charges
is that it was common thing for the mem-
bers, or some of them, to appear on the
floor of the House in a state of drunken
ness. A committee of four, with Mr.. Grout
of Vermont as its Republican member, in
Vestigated the charges and found that, con
strued in the sense in which they were in
tended, they were false and libelous, though
1t is true that three or four members ap-
peared on the floor when more or less
drunk. The committee will report reso-
luton declaring that the charges made by
Mr.. Watson are not true and constitute
an unwarranted assault upon the honor
and dignity of the House, and have the un-
qualified dsapproval of that body. Mr..
Grout will submit minority report recon-
mending the adoption of the resolution
recommended by the committee, if; on pre-
sentation to the House, Mr.. Watson de
clines to retract or modify his Objectionable
statements.
