The Peck Report.

Republican papers are making great
ado about the Peck report, and the
republican national committe has sent
it out as campaign document. 1t
will be remembered that the demo-
cratic platform denounced the McKin-
ley bill and said that "under the bill
there had been ten reductions to one
increase Of the wages Of laboringmen."
Now Charles H. Peck is the COM
missioner of labor for tho state OF New
York, appointed respectively by Cleve-
land, Hill and Flower, democratic gov
errors CT that state. Now he has
recently made q report which refutes
the democratic Platforms statement
and reverses the order, showing that
'there has been ten increases to one
reduction in the wages of laborngmen
under the Mckinley bill. The ques-
ton arises just how much truth there
il in the report of the said commiss-
Toner. We have the document before
us
1t seems that the statistics were
gathered by sending blank returns to
different manufacturers in the state
and requesting statement The
commissioner made promise to these
manufacturers that their names would
be withheld from publication, and that
no publicity would be made of their
private business. The commissioner
iustihes himself in this measure by
saying that in no other way could he
get the necessary data for his report
The democrats determined to make
an investigation of these returns, and
to test the genuineness and anthem
ITCHY. Mr. Commissioner thereupon
ordered the returns, amounting to a
good wagon load, to be taken to his
private apartments, aud to be stored
in bath room. He then hired his
janitor TO work all night burning the
documents in the furnace Of the build.
ing. The reports went up in smoke
The democrats then got out war
rant for his arrest for the destruction
OfpubIic documents. To committee
that waited upou MI. Peck he declined
to give any information other thar
that contained in his report. w,
shall watch the investigation and tria
with interest. Careful men will hest
tate to accept report made up unde
such conditions.

What He Learned.

A smart-aleck sneeringly asked an
old farmer what he had learned in the
farmers alliance. The old gentleman
replied: ii have learned to be a
friend to myself. have also learned
to love my wife and children better
than the party boss; besides l have
learnad that have long been sytem-
atically robbed by law, and that it is
my bounden duty to stop it. and that
to do 80 must vote the independent
ticket. "-IndependOnce Qa,) Farm

Of two years ago will be duplicated

commented upon. There was a pro.

The Force Bill.

We give on our front page re-
view Of the force bill" 1t is re-
publican party measure, and if Harri-
son is reelected and the republicans
should get a majority in both houses
of congress it would be enacted to
secure the perpetuation of the repub-
lican party. Even republican SEN
ators and congressman denounced the
measure as being dangerous and
revolutionary, but they were boilers
and in the smallest possible minority
That such law is still contemplated,
and is the poltcy of the republican
party, is evident,
Hon. Carl Shurz in q recent letter
says: II know the republicans arc
diSclaiming that the force bill is an
issue in this campaign. Mr.. Harrison
himself tried to evade this isCue in his
letter of acceptance by an adroitly
and soft-spoker recommendation of a
commission of enquiry, but no well
informed or prudent man will be de-
deceived. The republican platform
substantially endorses the measure. "
Here is what the platform says:
"The republican party will never
relax its efforts until the entegrity of
the ballot and the purity of elections
shall be fully guaranteed and protested
in every state.
ave denounce the continued in
human outrages perpctrated upon Am
erican citizens for political reasons in
certain southern states of the union"
That these outrages exist we do not
deny. but they are found north as well
as south. How about "blocks of five'
in the state of Indiana, and "blocks
of twenty" in Kansas.
The Hayes electoral commission
was clean cut steal on a corrupt and
uaitorous bargain. A republican of
this city recently said to us: There
is no question but that rildGn was
elected but our fellows were two sharp
for the democrats. Oliver P. Morton
planned that scheme. but pretended
to be opposed to it, and the democrats
fell into the trap" How is this for
the purity of elections and the integ.
ritY of the ballot.

BALTIMORE, Dec. 16 "A recent report
that Hon. James G.. Blaine was about to
become Catholic is revived hero
thorough the visit of Father Ducey.
OF New York. The story that
Mr.. Blaine would change his faith
originated in 4 visit paid by Cardinal
Gibbons and Father Ducey to the ex-
Secretary on Monday. The statesman
Is said to have expressed wish to see
the churchmen and talk with them on
religious matters, as he feared his lease
on life was rapidly growing less. A
new theory as TO the visit OF his emi-
hence and Father Ducey upon Mr..
blaine is advanced by we'll in formed
Catholic OF this city, who says:
The assistance of these churchmen
is being invoked to secure a re concilia-
ton between James G. Blaine, jr., and
his divorced wife. 1t will be remem-
bered that Father Ducey played con-
splcuous payt il this unhappy matri-
monial alliance. He married the couplo
and the ex-secretary has held him re-
sponsib.c for the trouble resulting. a
few months ago tho statesman wrote a
long letter scoring Father Ducey for his
part i'll the marriage, and divided the
blame between tho priest aud bride.

source OF constant sorrow TO the o umed
knight, and tho closing act in the matri-
monial drama which saw tho legal
separation OF his son brought increased
pain.
Father Duocy has been the clerical
adviser Of Mrs. James G. Blaine, Jr.,
who is y Catholic. Father Ducey WAS
opposed to the divorce proceedings and
Mrs. blaine, Jr., was not entirely in
sympathy with the idea OF violating a
rule OF her church. My theory OF the
matter is that reconciliation is posi-
bic between the estranged parties. The
senior Blaine, l have reason 20 believe,
would prefer before he dies to see his only
son reconciled to his wife and for that
reason has asked the intcrcession of
Cardinal Gibbons and Father Ducey."

eral in Cleveland's cabinet. About
thirty lawyers were present On mo.
ton Judge Parrish took tho chair and
Col. s. s. Brooke acted in the CAPACITY

words stated the object of the meeting
and offered the following resolutions,
winch were unanimously adopted:
"Whereas it has come to the atten-
ton OF the members of the bar of
the city of Roanoke that the Hon.
John Randolph Tucker, OF Vir,inia, has
been mentioned in connection with the
position of Attorney General for the
United States in the cabinet Of Presi.
dent-elect Cleveland, and
whereas in the opinion of tho bar Of
this city the distinguished abilities, the
wide and varied learning and patriotic
services of the Hon. John Randolph
Tucker make 1t eminently proper that he
should be at the head OF this Important
department. of the governments and
whereas we wish to add to the
Endorsement and recommendations
which have already been made by the
members of the bar in other parts OF
the State OF Virginia the Endorsement
OF the bar Of this city: Therefore be it
Resolved, That tho members of tho
bar of the city of Roanoke e, in meeting
assembled, do most heartily and cor
daily endorse and recommend the Hon.
John Randolph Tucker for the position
OF Attorney. General for the United
States, il being the sense of this bar
that there is no lawyer in Virginia or
elsewhere who is better qualified for
this position; that it is their hope tina :
the incoming President will find it com
patible with his high sense OF duty to
give Virginia the place in tho highest
council of the nation which she occu-
pied in the past by giving the position
once occupied by Edmund Randolph,
and afterward by William Writ to her
no less deserving SON."
On motion OF Capt w. W. Berkeley

The chair appointed Messrs. w. w.
Berkeley, Judge William Gordon Rob-
ertson and S. Hamilton Graves as com.
mittee to do what was necessary to put
