PITTsBURG, Pa, January ga paper
here processes to give the inside history
of a meeting between Senator Quay and
w. w. Dudley here Sunday last, as re-
lated by a gentleman who came from
New York to attend the conference. The
story goes that Mcssrs Quay and Dudley
learned that the Democratic leaders in
New York state, acting under the pow
ers conferred by the constitution, had de-
termined that the next Presidential cleo
tors should be chosen by the legislature
and not by popular vote. AS both
houses of the legislature in New York
will be controlled by the Democrats the
plan is entirely feasible aud if carried
out the money which would otherwise
be expended for campaign purposes in
New York can be used in doubtful
states. 1t is said that the Qnay-Dudley
conference considered the political out
look as affected by this alleged scheme.

From all parts OF Montana comes the
same story Of a prosperous season for
the farmer. The Great Falls Leader
says Of the outlook in that region.
The ranchers of Cascade county and all
the adjacent country are having a great
year. This 10 one OF the seasons whom
Montana docs not need irrigation. 1t ia
ono when the farmer must tear down his
storehouses and build bigger between the
seed time and the harvest. The rancher
and traveller coming in from tho creek and
bench land farms Of the Belt, Kibbey aud
Highwood sections render up the Same
account of the abundant ciops p omlsed.
The largest acreage is in barley, oats and
potatoes. If there will not be moro acres
than in former years of the first two men,
toned everyone expects an abundant yield.
and there will be carlonds of those Mon
tana potatoes that make hotel walters
round-shouldered. The same reports come
from the Judith country. 1t looks as if
Great Falls would send away less money
than ever before for the products OF the
farm. 1t will be a glad day for this city
grain. a ton of hay, a case of eggs or a
pound Of butter in an eastern market.
II that reminds us-will northern Mon
tona have an agricultural exhibit this fall?
The Montana farmer is the most ia
vorably situated man OF his occupation
in the United States. Yet there is room
for thousands more.

THAT the working man is no longer
fooled by the talk that high tariff
benefits labor is shown by the testimony
of some OF the laborers at Homestead
before the congressional committee that
is investigating the recent strike trou-
bles. William Roberts, a worker in the
mills, for instance, was on the stand the
other day undergoing examination. We
quote from the proceedings:
What is the labor cost OF a ton of steel !
Our scale answered Mr.. Roberts) calls
for 81 cents, but We were told at the confer
ence that it was not a question Of tonnage,
but a question of pay roll. which means
that they wanted to reduce our wages. It
was the people who made the lowest wages
who were reduced. The company argues
that improved machinery increased the
output and necessarily advanced wages. 1t
also increases the labor. There was a re-
duction of % per cent in our department.,
regardless of the price of billets.

Mr.. HARRlsoN's friends are CARVING
out their policy of prescription with n
high hand. In one state after apother
those republicans who did not favor the
presidents denomination are being Wis
tied with executive dlspleasure. Platt
is ignored in New York; Malone turned
down in Virginia; Quay stripped of pat
ronage in Pennsylvania; Clarkson
knocked out in Iowa, and so on all
along the line. The latest victim ia
William Dudley Foulke, former presi-
dent Of the national civil service reform
association. Mr.. Foulke, who lives in
indianapolis, has hitherto acted with
the republican party, but on
ing the other day that he intended to
vote for Cleveland, he was promptly
notified by the directors of the Colum-
bia club of that city that his resignation
as a member was desired. Mr.. Harri-
sons friends control the organization
and, following the narrow policy of their
leader, they propose to put his enemies
under the ban.

dals In which his name was involved,
and which would have utterly ruined q
less able man, Sir Charles has kept .
remarkable hold on tho affections OF a
largo constituency. There is no doubt
as to his ardent patriotism, his sincere
love Of country, his marvellous equip
ment for parliamentary service. But
for the scandal he undoubtedly would
have been the natural successor OF
Gladstone, aud the foremost man in all
England, on the old statesman's death.
The fact that over the tory opponents
Of Sir Charles thought it best to call oil
the "moral purity society" headed by
Lady Somerset, which proposed to take
the field against him, shows y DISPOSE

him a new start. 1t remains to Oe .
how far his past will handicap him,
His career will be watched with interest
on both sides OF the Atlantic.

congress from New York city, says
frankly that that while he voted
against free coinage he personally be-
lieves in it. He announces that he will
present tho free coinage side of the

this fall and be believes that there will
be a change of sentiment among voters
when the question is understood. There
are many more such congressman in the

WHEN we said the other day that
there was not a single democratic bolter
in the state of New York, we were in
error. Ex-Park Commissioner Daniel
Somers, Of Brooklyn, has resigned from
the democratic organization in that city
and joined the republican party. Mr..
Somers is q large manufacturer Of tin
goods and Is making a rapid fortune
under the beneticent working flor him)
of the Mckinley law. He wants the re-
publican policy continued indefinitely
and will vote for Harrison. Meantime
the workmen IN his factory are getting
the old rate of wages and Mr.. Somers
has not said a word about raising them.
Probably along about election time he
will be proclaiming that unless his men
vote the republican ticket the shops will
be closed. At least, that is the way Mr..
Somers will talk after he has been q
little longer in the republican party.

The national democratic committee
as made a wise departure in the Gus
tom Of notifying candidates. In past
years the ceremony has been of a private
nature, only members of the notification
committee and a few invited friends be-
ing present. For the notification of
Cleveland and Stevenson tomorrow in
New York the immense Madison Square
garden with a seating capacity of 10000
persons, has been engaged, and the
occasion will be a memorable one.
Both of the candidates are excellent
public speakers and their appearance
before a vast throng of citizens will
arouse the greatest enthusiasm. The
event will virtually be the opening of
the campaign.

A CHEwING-GUM candidate for con-
gress is a novelty in our politics, and if
all the gum ctewers in the United
States could vote for him be would
surely be elected. His name is White
and he lives in Cleveland, Ohio. His
qualifications are thus described:
Twenty years ago Mr.. White was not
worth $500; to-day he is rated above $780,
600. One little word explains his rise to
opulence-gum. He is the largest manu-
f~acturer of chewing gum in the United
States, his factory here employing 800 per
SONS and turning out between four and five
tons of tho stuff daily. Last year MIR.
Whites's profits are said to nave approx
mated $685.. 0O0, and his yea he expects
them to reach $500, 900.
Several years ago a combination, locally
called the Chewing Gum Trust, undertook
to down MIR. White because he would not
become Il patty to it. Men were sent to
Mexico and Yucatan to corner the supply
Of chicle. the chocolate colored raw gum
from which the manufactured Article is
made. White got wind of the deal, and
"uIlc wiz tkSLbo vi IA VI uob DCHG DHo DuBI
near the coast. he sent agents far inland,
secured all the chiole he wanted and SO.
oIetly shipped it north. Meanwhile the
trust agents thought they had him down,
and, though the supply was smaller thar
usual. prepared to spring their game. The
price of raw gum began to advance until il
reached 81. % a pound. Atthis time White
was getting his supply at % cents. The
result was u total collapse of the trust and
a loss to its members variously stated at
from $5O0,OOO to 500. 900.
1t will be seen from the above that he
lacks no requisite to make him an ideal
republican candidate. He would feel
quite at home with his republican
brethren IN the house, who represent the
other trusts and combines that have
made them ~millionaires. All that would
be expected of Mr.. White in the canvass
would be to hand over his checks to the
campaign committee, chew gum, and
say nothing. BY all means put him on
the list.
