PEcK's PERSECUTION.
How the Democrats Serve n Man for Tel
La, he

HOW the Democrats serve n wan TOT icil-
Ing the Truth.
The democratic persecution of Peck,
Mr. Clevelands labor commissioner.
halts little, owing TO the legal con-
servatisms, and thus the mugwump-
democratic com bination is not expedit-
ing him INTO Jail as rapidly as it ex-
pected to do. Perhaps il is beginning
To wonder how il would look to the peo-
pie to put a man in Jail for telling the
truth, for this is Peek's only offense,
and yet if they do not Jail him it will
look equally curious, for then people
might ask why they did arrest him?
The predieament in which Mr.. Peck
finds himself is what man gets for
being democrat who viii tell the
truth. Grover Cleveland and David Il.
Hill can pervert, misrepresent and fall
sify their own platform all they please
and it is all right, but in Pecls case it
is all wrong, for Peck is an official of
the state government, sworn to tell the
truth, but according to all democratic
precedents he must not tell the truth
when il hurts the party. Any man who
tells the truth under such circum-
stances must be arrested and thrown
into Jail The democrats claimed that
the Mckinley bill had pulled down
wages. choked off production, and
made the country poorer. Mr.. Peck's
official report, based upon the returns
from over 600 manufacturers in the
state of New York. showed it had done
nothing OF the kind. but on the
other hand had increased both wages
and production. IL paralyzed the
democratic leaders. II squelched
all the democratic literature with
which the bureaus were about to flood
the country. Ii spoiled all the demo-
cratic fireworks Then in their rage
they turned upon Peck and demanded
of him To explain why he had told the
truth. They said TO him: why did
you do this? Did you not know it
would hurt us? You were not placed
in office by Mr.. Cleveland to tell the
truth. but to conceal the truth when il
will help democratic candidates and Of
ficehGlderS. So we will put you in Jail
for this" This is the fate in store for
any democrat in Office who has the man
illness and sense of duty which induce
him to respect his obligations and tell
the truth.
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1892-10-20

But whatever may he done to Mr..
Peck his figures remain. They show
that during the first year of the Me-
Kinley tariff wages paid to workmen
in New York increased s6.377, e26 and
production increased ST. 1918. 1871. The
figures OF the democratic banking
superintendent twho may have to go to
Jail remain. They show an increase
in savings banks deposits during the
same period of SIS, 755.44s. The figures
showing an increase of 81, 200, SAT in
building and loan association invest
ments remain. The advance in value
OF real and personal property in New
York in the same period, amounting 70
Sl5o, 347, 75s. remains.
Whatever the malignant democratic
prosecutors of Peck may do to him
these figures cannot be questioned or
challenged. They cannot be squelched
or put into Jail. They show that the
democrats have lied. Chicago Tribune.

All He Gnarnntees TO DO.

The cleverness OF the walters who
stand at the doors of the dining-rooms
of the large hotels in charge Of the
hats which are left outside by the
guests is very striking. Some of them
perform really wonderful feats of
memory in the way of identifying the
hat of each person, although they
often do not see the guest more than
once, aud that for only the instant
when he pauses TO leave his hat behind
him as he enters.
At hotel on the Maine coast is a
darby who is famous among the
guests for never making a mistake, al
though sometimes the guests have
tried to puzzle him by going in in
groups and by wearing hats which he
has never seen One day one of the
boarders talked with him about his
power and the waiter said that he had
acquired il by long practice.
And do you never make mistakes?'
the gentleman inquired.
mo, sab; don't carlate to make nc
mistakes" was the answer.
"And do you give every man his OWE
hat?"
"Oh. sah." returned the waiter.
