A Cave Full of Treasure.
Especial Correspondence

HARTMAN. Tenn, July 2S.-The un
earthing of large quantity of stolen
slIverware, gold lined snuffboxes, ETC.,
in a cave near Jasper, this state, has
created a sensation. The story beats
fiction long way. During the winter
of 1864 the Federal soldiers were en-
camped for some time on Battle creek,
Among them was an Ohio regiment.
Not long since gentleman appeared in
the neighborhood and told the follow.
ing story:
He was member of the Ohio regi-
ment referred to, and in his mess was a
soldier who was a born thief aid who
never let an opportunity pass to steal
anything he could carry away. During
the time they were encamped at the
mouth of Battle creek he hid his steal
ings in cave, and so clever was he III
his work that no suspicion ever fell upon
him. A short time ago the two old
comrades were together talking over
their experiences, when the story of the
stolen silverware was told and the re-
quest made that the gentleman referred
to visit the locality, search for the cave,
and if possible recover the hidden silver
ware and restore the articles to the
rightful owners OF their heirs.
The old soldier who had so many
years ago gone wrong is getting aged
and feeble, and to ease his conscience
and make reparation, as far as in his
power, he begged his old commander to
do this fo- him. He was successful in
finding not only the place, but the plum
der. At least 200 pounds of silverware
of every kind almost were found in the
cave, ranging from napkin rings to solid
silver water sets. Many Of the articles
have the owners initials on them, and
all are in a good state Of preservation.
The articles have be-u taken to store
in the village near 10y. and are being
turned over TO those entitled to them as
rapidly as possible.

The Afternoon Celebration.

In nearly all cities and large villages,
however, the citizens will wish formal
demonstration on Columbus Day which
may be in their own hands Wherever
the citizens are TO conduct a celebration
two matters should be especially ar
ranged:
First-That the civic celebration oc-
cur in the afternoon, so that it will not
conflict with the morning celebrations
which are going on ia all the school
houses.
Second-That in the afternoon cele-
bration by the people ample recognition
should be given to the public school
idea, which is to be the characteristic Of
the day throughout the nation.
This afternoon celebration will vary
with each locality, but the citizens will
gladly accord to the free school institu-
ton the place of honor.
This leading position for the schools
in the afternoon celebration can he cas-
lily arranged:
First, a most fitting feature will be

PlkGsbuTu stGte Journal.
Have you noticed that the nomina'
tion Of William A. MacCOrklO has fallen
as fat as big chunk of putty? There
has been no enthusiasm except a little
noise by few of his lieutenants and
heelcrs in his own county.
The reason is plain. He was not tho
choice Of the Democrats OF West Vir-
ginia. Tho great majority OF them
wanted Judge Bennett, Of Lewis county
"A man so far superior to MacCorkle
that there is really no comparison De-
tween them.
But MacCorkle was the railroad cor
portations' candidate. His chief lieu
tenants we're Chiffon, a G. & o. attor-
nov. aud Sims & Enslow, counsel for
the g. & o. in West Virginia. MacCor-
kle himself is said to be closely connec,;
ted with that corporation in some rea!
estate matters. These railroad men did
everything in their power for his noml-
nation.
Senator Camden, who never forgets
either favor or an injury, "had 1t in
for" Judge Bennett, because the latter
opposed him for the United States son.

OF making a blind OF Eastman they

interests as well as the Ohio River rail.
road interests in West Virginia, and
their Influences all went to the support
of MacCorkle. :.
This is the kind Of peoples candi-
date" that MacCorkle is. The people,
tho rank and file, the farmers, the Ia
borers, were not his supporters. he
was nominated because he was backed
by the powerful influences we have
named and because his forces were
thoroughly organized, as such forces
usually are.
And who is NIacCorkle? He is the
man who was introduced over the state
as tile one who had assaulted United
States Marshal II. S. White because the
latter made some remark about JEFF
Davis which AIacCorkle did not like.
MacCorkle is thirty-four years OF age
and was therefore child when the war
was raging; he was not in the war; he
knew nothing about it; he is simply a
blowhard. He is not content to let the
past be past. How do the union Dem.
ocrats and the union soldiers like this
sort Of man for governor of the state OF
West Virginia?
He is known simply as good fighter

mated the Democrats would have had n

who is not a ranter and howler-nor the
special candidate of the railroad corpor-
ntinna.

as they please. 1t will not, | think,
be contended by any reputable law
yer, that the statute enacted last winter
by which men. who were members Of the
Mormon church since January / = 1888,
must go through a decentralization pro-
/ cess before they cali vote, will stand the
test of the courts In considering the
question of the Mormons voting, l have
done SO without any reference TO this par
ticular statute.''
Judge II. W. Weir formerly supreme
judge of Idaho and one of the most pro-
, found iurisrs in the state, and as clear
headed a man as can be found in the
Democratic ranks of Idaho, said: "The
Democrats understand the situation pretty
well. They know the Republicans are
after the Mormon vote, and how they are
working to secure it. No sooner had the
Mormons reformed by the Woodruff mani
festo than the Republicans began by every
scheme and strategy known to get the
Mormons over to them and get their votes,
and in so doing have stultified them
selves in most Illuminating way.
During the last campaign, over hundred
and fifty Mormons were prosecuted by the
Republican district attorney for voting.
over one hundred of these indictments
came from Bear Lake county. l have it
! from the Mormons themselves that they
were promised that the indictments against
them would be discon tinued if they would
vote the Republican ticket at the coming
election. Pursuant to this arrangement,
the suits were discontinued after the mat
ter had been taken TO Washington, D. c.,
for the approval of Senator Dubois"
! Elk Democratic Congressman John
! Haley now in this city, said that no
doubt the Republicans were fishing for the
Mormon vote. He said he had always
! been accused of being favorable to the
Mormons, but he had not been nor was he
now. 1t was through his influence that
/ the Mormon delegates were denied seats in
! 1856. He doubted whether the Mormons
were sincere even now, and believed they
should not be allowed to vote yet, nor until
lapse of time would show their sincerity.
He said that while he had all the odium of
being q Mormon sympathizer, he was in
| fact their political opposer, and that the
Repu blicans, while posing before the
country on high moral grounds as enemies
OF the Mormon church, were secretly pat
ting them on the back and urging them to
defeat him.
George Ainslie, chairman OF the Demo
cratic state committee, preferred not to ex-
press his opinion on the subject However,
from conversation with number of promi-
nent Democrats here your correspondent is
certain that the views herein expressed are
in the main shared by majority of the
party. They all say that the action of the
Repu blican state committee is an open bid
for the Mormon vote. They say, also, that
in their opinion it is extremely doubtful
whether the Mormons, to any considerable
extent, will be caught by such palpable
chaff. CRITIC.

the interest of the Democratic party.
1t, too, is a party of spoils and Of.
fee. While it has not had control
of the general government, yet it
has often been in position to arrest
the progress of spoliation of the
masses. Its only president since
the war showed himself to be the
abiect tool of Wall street; and if
at the time Mr.. Cleveland was pres
ident the Democrats had had control
of both branches of congress, there
is no doubt that the Bland silver act
would have been repealed at the be-
hest OF the gold conspirators. 1t is
also true that Cleveland is the choice
of the eastern autocrats, and stands
up for the eastern millionaires, who
make western paupers. 1t is also
true that Democrats have voted for
every iniquitous measure of the
general government for 25 years.
There is no difference in the party
machines. Both organizations lie
to the common people, and both or.
CARNATIONS bid for the influence of
the millionaire robbers. Both old
party bosses corrupt and intimidate
voters, and, therefore, if there is to
be any real reform-if the people
are to be protected-that reform and
that protection must come from the
common people, through common
peoples organization.

wages paid, but the time must come
when the mental, and physical strain
brings on disease and death or may
be that, in the meantime, short cut
to death has been taken by suicide ;
or, worse, a life Of disgrace has been
chosen.
Turning to "Among the Poor in
Chicago" in Scribner's Magazine,
we find that there are employed in
the sweat-shops from 10000 to 49,
600 women and children, who earn
from nothing to Sc week. Begin
necs receive nothing for the first
months work.
1t may be claimed, without fear of
contradiction, that the condition of
working women is far worse now
than when the census was taken, and
that, in any case, a dark picture of
want, despair and death is presented
in this great so-called "christion ma
tion," and in cities, too, that, only
few years since, poured out the
blood of its best men, and their
treasure without stint, to liberate
the black slave, whose condition was
infinitely better than that of our
working women.
But, before closing this article,
there is one other phase of this
question to which we call attention,
and that is that the devilish employ
ers make wages low on purpose to

According to the last census, in
% of the larger cities in the country,
II ,427 women who are working for a
living were questioned by govern
ment agents. They represent 342
vocations and their average wages
were found to be 1851 per week
The above is taken from the JEFF
fersonian, and is a mute appeal to
the christian and humane people for
higher wages and better treatment
for the weak and unprotected class
of toilers.
The male citizen is voter, and is
clothed with the means of protection
in government. Men may and do
organize and go on strikes to main
tain fair wages, but with the wom-
an worker, all is different. She can
only take what is offered her, and
that without protest, much less re-
dress Of grievances. Men we al
most said fiends) take advantage of
her unprotected situation, and force
her wages below the living point.
She may exist for awhile upon the
