Not Proven.

Mr. Watson, Farmers Alliance Congress
man from Georgia, failed to prove his charges
of drunkenness against members ofthe House,
and the majority of tle committee of investi-
CATION declared that the evidence shows the
charges to have been false and libelous under
the strictest legal definitions of those TERMS;
that theicharge involving Representative Cobb
is contradicted by the overwhelming evidence
of the witnesses, and that there was nothing IN
the evidence to justify the imputation made
against him. The facts are, the report says.
that three and possibly four members have ap
peared on the floor more or less under the
influence of liquor, hut none in the condition
described in the charges. The committee will
report resolution declaring that the charges
made by Me-. Watson are not true and consti-
tute an unwarranted assault upon the honor
and dignity of the House, and have the un
qualified disapproval af the House.
Mr.. Grout, Republican, of Vermont, SOB
mitted report fully concurring in the finding
of the majority that Mr.. Cobb was not in a
state of ntoxication while discussing the
Moves Rockwell case, and saying that the
charge that drunken inembers have reeled
about the aisles ''is wholly unsupported by
proof He thinks, that in view of the facts
brought out by the investigation, Mr. Watson
shonld withdraw the offending statements, but
if on presentation of the matter to the House
Mr.. Watson should decline to retract or mod
ify the statements published in his book, then
he reeommends the adoption of the resolution
reported by the majority.

The Homestead Affair.

The Carnegie Steel Company are determined
to push the prosecutions against their work
men, and about one hundred informations for
murder will be laid against those engaged in
the riot. The workmen have laid informa-
fions against the Pinkertons aud the Carnegie
people, and between the two Allegany county
will have huge bill ofeourt expenses to pay.
The Carnegie Company have the long end
of the rope in their eight with labor. They
have immense wealth., piled high by reason of
q protective tax, and can dictate their own
terms in regard to wages, rules, &C., and can
employ the best legal talent to prosecute those
who interfere with them. The workmen, on
the other hand, cannot remain idle long, and
1t is either work or starve. Many of them,
seeing labor being imported to take their
places, have concluded to work for what the
Company chooses 10 give, and the Carnegies
have won the eight.

From the churchman.l

s'Here is the problem of the unchurched
masses who have no literature to feed on on
Sunday but the newspapers, with its bad
pictures and highly spieed sensation; and yet
thousands of people will not consent to open
the door of knowledge and delight 10 the
working man and woman, but leave them to
the evil influence of the cheap excursion or
the vile associations of the tenement. The
thousands from all parts of the country as
sembled recently in New York at the meetings
of Christian Endeavor spent many hours OF
precious time in diyising measures to close
the Chicago Fair on Sunday, while the ignor-
ant, the needy and depraved were swarming
in the slums of the great city. Noble as the
spirit of the Endeavorers is, high as are their
aims, we see in this fact the sharp corners of
an imperfect moral development
Judge J. c. Normile, of the St. Louis { Mo.
criminal court, committed suicide on Tuesday
by taking poison. He recently brought suit
against the st. Louis Post Dispatch for $780,
0G0 and had its three responsible directors
arrested on charge of criminal libel in con.
sequence of criticisms on his administration
of Justice. On Monday and Tuesday the
Judge was on the witness stand, and upon the
cross examination some facts were drawn out
which established the rumors published by
the Post Dispatch. The result would have
been disbarring of the judge, but he prefer
red suicide to living in disgrace.
Angered by long series of insu Its from
his fellow workmen, Herbert Gault, laborer
in the rolling mill at Wyau1otte, Mich, on
Saturday afternoon sought revenge on John
Langston, the chief of his prosecutors, by
pouring dipper of boiling hot metal over
his limbs, burning them frightfully and caus
ing undoubted fatal injuries. Gault is u man
of powerful physique, but has deformity of
the left leg that causes him to walk with a
limp. His fellow workmen have lately made
him the butt of their jokes owing to this de-
formity. Gault was locked up.
The Anderson Tin Plate Works, at Amber
son, Indiana, which were established after the
heavy tax on tin was imposed by the Mckinley
bill, and which were advertised all over the
country as one of the happy and bene6eent
reaizations of that bill, were sold under the
sheriff hammer on Saturday last. 1t was a
mere clipping house. Only imported ma
terial was used at the great(?) tin plate works,
the black plate coming from England and the
pig tin from Asia.
A fight occurred Monday between a num-
Der of negro railroad laborers on the Lehigh
and Eastern Railroad at Smithfeld, Penna.,
and the foreman, John S. Spottswood, is
said to have kept 80 or go armed men at bay
until constables appeared. Two of the ne
groes are reported to have been shot.

Congressional Appropriations.

In round numbers the present Congress at
its first session. just closed, appropriated $780,
100000, some $44 ,000,0 900 more than were
appropriated by the last Congress at its first
session. About sixty millions appropriated
by the present Congress were made necessary
by the acts of the Billion Congress, and some
twenty millions of it went for pensions. No
economy can be expected until the Democrats
obtain majority in the Senate as well as in
the House, and have Democratic President.
Neither can the people hope for reduction
in federal taxation until the Democrats con-
troll all branches of the government. The
signs all point to a sweeping Democratic vic
tory this fall. If the opponents of high taxa
ton, class legislation and extravagant appro
priations will do their duty to themselves and
their country, the victory will be complete
and lasting.

In his several positions he will be able to
watch the progress of the campaign to advant-

The Peoples Party are highly elated over
the announcement that Judge Gresham, OF
Indiana, will take the stump for their ticket.
They believe he will carry $4,000 votes with
him in Indiana and many thousands in Hi
nois. Judge Gresham is verypopular in both
Indiana and Illinois, and his influence will
be felt. He has been twice a candidate for
the Republican nomination for President, but
he was too pure man for the Republican

The annual convention of the Farmers
Alliance was in session in Baltimore this
week. But eight of the twenty three counties
we're represented, and the convention was
composed of only eighteen delegates. Pres-
dent Mitchell said the Alliance was not as
strong as it was year ago. A year hence it
will scarcely be in existence. Every i'll that
Expresses the farmer which can be remeded
by legislation, can only be removed through
the Democratic party. The Alliance itself
can never accomplish anything, and If farm
ers are wise they will aid the election of u

If this SO, 527 ,6O2. so be deducted from the
$5O7, 7Ol, 8sO.57 appropriated, the aggregate
would have been only S42S, l73,777.95, as
against $494, 456, 24s.G5 appropriated at the
first session of the BiIieN Congress, and as
against $54l, 23O, 672. 55 at the second.
The House succeeded in cutting the appro.
priations by many millions less than the Har-
rison Administration asked for. The Repub-
lican Senate was very hostile to any reduction
of expenditures, and actually added some
So, O0O, 600 to the bills passed by the House.
The Senate so stoutly maintained its stand for
extravaganza that the House had to yield
Sis, OOO, 900 of that increase, or stand in an
amending deadlock.
The legislation of the Billion Congress
makes large appropriations necessary for
some years, unless the whole machinery of
government is tarHed over to Democratic
control A Democratic HouEe can never re-
duee taxation and curtail expenditures while
the Senate and the Presidency are Republican.
