The London Statist Of September
II opens with an article on the in-
trnLtional monetary conference
xith this: at is to be hoped that
fhe new government will have the
cDuruge even now to withdraw from
Die international monetary confer
fnce" The writer SAYS that .neither
Ar. Gladstone, as premier, uOr the
chancellor of the eXchequer, has any
sympathy with the object of the con-
Ference. They knov England will
bot tamper with It's monetary system
Bud they must feel, therefore, that
they will be II false position in go
Ing into the conference. They must
beware, too, that it was proposed
only aS Il means of tiding over the
Elections IN the United States, and
that it WAS accepted by the Euro
fopcan governments simply out OF
Courtesy to that Of the United Statc.. y
IA Itwould seem from the foregoing
that even in England the interna-
tional monetary conference is under
stood to be merely ruse to post
pone the settlement of the silver
question until after the presidential
election.-Er.
THERE is nothing ncw to report in
the strike situation in Homestead
The advisory committee is confident
and laughs at the idiotic raporings
Of the Local News, which published
sn editorial declaring the strike was
lost. Fort Rick is the scene of much
quarrrelling and fighting. Whiskey
BIT the bottom of it. The non-union
naen get drunk and go out prancing
around the streets. Some get full of
6ght and go around looking for it.
Many 90 armed. Several have been
20 insulting that citizens have ac-
cOmmodated them, and one or two in
stances haze occurred where non-
Z Mon man has met his deserts and
2ot pretty well hammered. Then
the mill officials and newspapers
make them ont as poor, innocent, in
extensive angels, set upon by terrible
monsters. Many of these men are
lOst to all, sense of decency, and
seem proud of their despicable action
u taking another mans job, and
then 90 around and add insult to IN
jnrv.-Er.
