All Good Mem.

The greenbsck craze is as dead as
the war Of the rebellion, for political
purposes. If Weaver was once a
greenbacker, 90 was Lincoln once q
rail-splitter and tho immortal Geo.
Washington q slave-dealer; but they
are all three pretty good men, not
withstandinR all that. But Weaver
to-day represents the only silver party
in this country, and how any man
who is worthy of being called a free
coinage man can vote for the motor
ious enemies Of silver has not yet
been satisfactorily explained. Are
free coinage men the greatest suckers
in the world, and are they going to
deliberately vote against themselves?
Are they going to let gold-bugs fool
them for twenty years longer.--[ Ne,cs-

No State Convention.

The SLIDER State is in favor of call
ing convention of the Silver Leagues
for the purpose of instructing the
nominees for presidert ial electors to
vote for Weaver and Field. We be-
lieve that the object sought to be
accomplished by State Convention
can be attained at much less expense
than by holding State Convention.
Let each Silver League hold meet
ing and pass resolutions endorsing
Weaver and Field and instructing
the nominees Of the Reno Convention
to cast their votes for them in the
Electoral College. This will be SUIT
ficient endorsement and the electors
will obey the instructions.

District Attorney Julien, counsel
for respondent, received notice Satur-
day that the Supreme Court in the
cast OF s. w. Bowman appellant Va.
ID. b. Boyd respondent, had SUSTAIN d
the decision OF the District Court.
The points involved were these: Mr..
Bowman was assessed on $4,000
worth OF mortgages. He paid the tax
under protest, claiming exemption on
the ground OF not being resident of
tie county. He brought suit in the
District Court, Judge Biaelow pre-
siding, against County Treasurer
Boyd for the recovery of the amount
OF taxes which he paid. The District
Court held that the payment of the
tax on the part Of Mr.. Bowman was
voluntary and therefore could not DO
recovered. Mr.. Bowman appealed to
the Supreme Court, which has az
firmed the judgment of the lower
Court, that the payment of the tax
was voluntary, and therefore an action
for its recovery could not be main
tanned. The decision has not been
published, but it is understood that
the court goes beyond the question of
voluntary payment and holds that for
the purposes OF taxation the appellant
had residence in this State.-IReno

JOINT TARIFF DEBATE.
Alex Mcclure is Seeking One With
Mckinley.

PHILADELPHIA, July 24.-In reply to
an invitation from Hon. A. K. Mcclure,
editor of the Times, to unite with him in
joint discussion of the tariff in this
city in September, Gov. Mckinley, of
Ohio, said:
81 have your favor of July g. inviting
me to discussion of tariff, and in reply
beg to say that am not fond of discus
sion, nor, in my experience, have joint
discussions as rule been profitable to
either side. Did /, therefore, consult
my own personal feelings in the matter,
l should decline your suggestion at once,
but do not feel quite justified in doine
that.
lit occurs to me that if there is to bg
a Joint debate on the great question of
the tariff, upon which the Republican
and Democratic parties divide this
year, the joint debate should
be arranged by their respective
committees, and they should select the
time and place as we'll as the partici-
pants in such debate. If the discussion
you propose is regarded by the Repub-
lican committees of sufficient signif-
canoe, ! would respond to their call.
81 shall, therefore, refer your letter
with copy of the one have addressed
to you, to the Republican national COM
mittee as soon as 1t is organized, leaving
it with them to accept or decline as they
may see fit''
Mr.. Mcclure has referred the CORE
spOndence to Chairman Harrity, of the
Democratic national committee, with a
request that he endeavOr to arrange
such discussion.

FAVOR ARBITRATION.
Another Attempt to Bring Com
pany and Men Together

HOMESTEAD, Pa, July PA new
movement for the solution of the Home
stead deadlock was inaugurated today
under Impressive circumstances. The
tragical occurrence in Pittsburg, with
II. G. Prick as the victim, was taken as
the occasion for this latest de-
parture. In the presence of a gather
ing, made up largely of strikers
and militiamen it was proposed to make
a fresh attempt at arbitration. The
proposal came from a source beyond
either party to the difficulty. and was
put forward in way so unusual as to
command marked attention.
Divine service at the principal Cath
Ollie church in Homestead was inter-
rupted at the most solemn part while
the pastor, Rev. Father Bullion, attired
in his prieStly veStmentS, who had
turned from the brilliantly lighted
altar and faced the congregation, began
a denunciatiOn Of anarchy and the at
tack upon Mr.. Prick. Not sound could
be heard in the edifice except the earn
est words from the sanctuary, so wrapt
were the listeners at what was beng
said. The clergyman dwelt upon the
pleasure afforded all good citizens by
the fact that the imprisoned man was
not from Homestead, and that his prin-
ciples were not theirs. He declared
that peaceful means were best for both
sides, and the only ones that should be
employed, violence only tending to Gre
ate an increased bitterness of feeling.
He hoped to be able soon TO say that the
company had realized that it would be
more benefited financially. which he
assumed was the object in view. by an
honorable arrangement with the old
hands, rather than in securing the
country TO fill their places.
The strikers were urged in conclusion
to hold themselves i'll readiness for an
opening toward what was the only
feasible means for arightful settlement,
just TO both sides arbitration. An I'M
lOOked-fOr event came as Il result Of the
blazing weather. Four of the nom
union men shut up inside the mill en-
closure could stand the virtual i'm
prisonment no longer and made their
escape in the town. The advisory COM
mittee of the strikers took them in hand
have had no idea that they
we're to be kept continuously away
| from all intercourse with the
outside world, even taking meals and

f! the total number of men inside the mills,
! all reports to the contrary nOtwithStand-
ing. is only 100. All four of the men
are from Philadelphia. one an engineer
named John Rookie, one whose name
was withheld, the other two being
| James Ellis and James Harley. A
| rumor that thirty-two more of the nom
uniOnists would come out tomorrow
was current tonight.

remember him. There are hosts, of
able-bodied men in Tekahama who have
been hoping many years that the oppor-
tunity would come to punch Car
ter's head. Republicans here who
know Carter are indignant that
he should be placed at the
head of the national committee. Twelve
years ago Tom Carter appeared in this
vicinity in the capacity of book agent
of Time and Fame" Soon after his ar
rival here, Carter engaged shrewd cap
pers and began operations. He began
by making a personal canvass of the
town. securing the names of all inf1u
entail citizens, whether they would ac-
cept the book on delivery OF not. Then
Carter would show in confidential way
to unsuspecting citizens that he had
sold twenty-five Or thirty books in
single day. upon which there was
profit of 81 each. At the same time his
cappers, too, were getting in effective
work about the ''money to be made"
Carter would then explain that he had
territory to sell, giving the exclusive
right to sell the book within certain
limits.
Many farmers were taken in and in
duced to deed their farms for terri
tory, and of course never realized a dol
lar Oh the venture. 1t was bold trick,
that realized those who engineered it
several hundred acres of farms. and in
this vicinity. besides town property.
live stock and personal effects. In fact,
Carter took i'll every one and everything
in sight. Among those who decided
away their farms in this county were
Frank Pratt. 50 acres; Moses Clark, 100
acres; Daniel Mreyson. an old man, 10
acres; Rufus Bales. 12O acres; Marion
Heth, so acres; II. V. Gibson, so acres;
RUDE Lee. his home; John
CreagOn, his furniture store;
Clint Smith, personal property:
NJ. Brown. 800 cash, and many others
property, land and cash and town prop
erty. In some manner this property
was decided to Root, who became an
efficient purchaser. Today A. &. Davis,
Frank Roth and II. g. Sawtell. formerly
of Burlington, To-, own and are living
on about 1000 acres of this land. out of
which Carter "did farmers" Repub-
licanS as well as Democrats are frank to
express their opinion of Harrison's best
man. and say that if cunning and ques-
tionable methods will win the CAM
paIgn, then Harrison will be elected.
One important point to be noticed is
that Carter was Democrat when here,
but told friends that he was going to
Montana and get into politics, and mas
much as there was nothing there for a

grand old party. He dropped in. ri,

CARNEGIE FREIGHT.
Trainnen Are Agitated Over the
Handling of 1t.


PITTsBURG, Pa, July 24.-The train
men of the Pittsburg, Virginia Il
Charleston railroad, which runs through
Homestead, are now holding a meeting
to decide whether to refuse to run the
trains if Carnegies product is car
ried by the company or to continue
work and take the risk of bodily injury
from the strikers. The trainmen
claim that they have been threatened
with humiliation if they do not take
sides with the strikers. and that when a
committee called upon the advisory
committee to inform them OF the threats
they received no satisfaction. The mat
ter was then laid before Supt. Watt, of
the railway company. The meeting
lasted until nearly l o'clock, but no
conclusion was reached. and another
question. Supt. Watt informed the men
who called upon him that the company
would insist upon the hauling Of the
freight. The advisory committee stated
that, while they would promise pro-
lection to the raIlroaders as far as their
own men were concerned, they could
not be responsible for all the strikers.

TROUBLE Is APPREHENDED
When O'Donnell Is Released and
Returns to Homestead.

HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 24.--Home-
stead had quiet day, far different
from last Sunday, when thousands of
eXcursionistS thronged the streets and
crowded in among the tents of Camp
Black. 1t was the euietest day the
little town has experienced since the
inception of the strike. There was
some talk among the workingmen and
the militia concerning the likelihood of
trouble in the event of DEM
onstration if Hugh O'Donnell is re-
leased Oh bail and returns to Home
stead, but even this was thrown into
the back ground by the all-absorbing
Prick sensation. The militiamen in
cline to the view that, in the event of
reception to O'Donnell's, trouble will
ensue, but the workers are not appre-
henSive of danger.
A story has been in circulation con-
Meeting Hugh O'Donnell's mission to
New York with the attempted assassin
alton of Frick. When ODonnell re-
turned lie stated that his mission had
been successful, and that the develop
ments of the next few days would set
tie the strike. The story receives no
credence. as Mr.. O'Donnell is not re-
garded as the kind of man who would
countenance an act such as Berg
mann'S.
