RUssEL's RECONCILIATION.

BosToN, Sept, 2Sth.-The Democratic
State convention which renominated
Gov. Russell yesterday named James B.
Carroll of Springfield for lieutenant
governor
Tie platform Endorsed the principles
adopted by the National conven ion at
Chicago and praised the craftsmanship
Of Grover Cleveland. Free wool, coal,
iron and lumber were demanded as
necessary for the development of our
great industries, and the force bill was
strongly condemned. The money plank
favored the repeal of the dangerous Re-
publican silver act of 1890, and declared
as follows:
1--WE believe that as the circulating
note features of of the National banking
system are becoming obsolete, in con-
sequence of the contraction of the basis
of circulation, it is necessary that some
expedient should be found for the
assurance and withdrawal, as the needs
of trade may demand, of credit notes
under such form of federal supervision
as may be thought desirable. Hence we
advocate the r0mOval of the National tax
upon such circulating notes of State
banks as are so secured that their prompt
lOuOihpOlOu III lawful luOuOy Will always
be ceTtain.''
The remainder of the platform was an
enumeration of the benefits accruing to
the State by Governor Russells admin
istration.
The resolutions were unanimously
adopted. Governor Russell then ap-
peared on the platform escorted by the
committee appointed to secure his at
tendance. He was received with per-
feet babel of enthusiastic demonstration,
and addressed the convention in a
felicitous speech.
The committee on the balance of the
ticket reported as follows, the report be-
ing unanimously accepted

A NIGHT IN A SUGAR CAMP.

Well, one morning, my brother Rob and
loaded ourselves with the usual amount
of camp luggage-pTovisions in plenty,
as boys are always hungry-and warm
Canada blankets. Our guns, ammuni-
ton and few tools, completed the out
fit.
Robert, then about fifteen years old,
had all boys love for adventure, and
enjoyed the expedition immensely. 1t
was nearly noon before we had things in
order in camp. We ate our dinner, then
started out with our large gathering pals
to bring in the sap. We found the
buckets at the trees nearly full, and
worked hard all the afternoon in gather
ing it.
AS night came on the weather contin-
ued warm, with no frost to stop the flow
of the sap. The days run had filled the
boiling pans and storage tubs, and we
must keep the fire burning steadily to
boil away. There was no prospect of our
going home that night, but we had plenty
of food, and the camp was comfortably
warm.
We finished our second round of sap
gathering at ten o'clock.
Suppose we eat supper and turn in

was an afterthought. III the monument
had been left bare of dates and simply
inscribed "To the soldiers and sailors of
Indiana" the public and posterity could
have distributed and apportioned the
honor as they pleased, and it is safe to
say that none of it would ever have
gone to the soldiers of any other
war than that of the rebellion.
That is the only war that anybody
thinks of when Indiana's soldiers are
mentioned. The placarding of the date
of the Mexican war on two sides of the
monument is violent departure from
its original idea and purpose. an un-
warranted diversion of the funds raised
by the G. A. r., and distinct lowering
of the moral idea of the work. The fig
ures 1S46-1s4S represent nothing but a
whim of the commissioners, and they

THE SITUATION AT HOMESTEAD.


The developments of the last few
days have proved beyond doubt that
the controversy between tho owners of
the Carnegie steel works and the strik-
ing workmen is not one of wages, but of
principle. The mill-owners are not SO
intent on reduction of wages as they
are on keeping the management and
control of their property and business
in their own hands. The mon are not
so much. alarmed by the prospect of a
reduction of wages rs they are by the
danger that the power of the Anal
gamated Association will be broken.
The amount involved in the question
of wages is comparatively insignificant.
The proposed reduction would only af-
feet 325 men out of $500, and most of
those, affected would still earn higher
wages than they did when the last scale
was adopted, three years ago. Follow
ing is an official statement OF the wages
earned under the old scale and the min
irnum under the proposed change, in-
Guiding a reduction of working Eours
from twelve to eight per day:
The Indianapolis journal., 1892-07-11

This shows that, hours of labor con-
sidered, the proposed wages would be
really higher for nearly all the men
than the wages paid under the previous
scale when it was adopted. Under the
proposed scale, at the minimum price of
$23 per ton for steel billets. the wages
would range from S2.45 to S6.67 per day
of eight hours. 1t must be borne in
mind that the proposed scale is ON a
basis of eight hours per day, while the
old one Was on basis of twelve hours.
The entire reduction affects less than 10
per cont. q the men employed, and the
other 30 per cent. are striking to help
them ont. "A
1t is evident from these facts that the
question of wages is not at the bottom
OF the controversy. The real question
is whether the power of the Anal
Ramated Association shall be broken or
not, or, in other words, whether the
property shall be controlled by its own
ers or by their employees. On this ques-
ton both parties stand on their rights,
the owners demanding the protection of
the law and the strikers defying it. To
this issue there can be but one outcome.
The law must be enforced, and the own
ers of the property must be placed In
possession of it and protected In it's
operation.
The Indianapolis journal., 1892-07-11
THE MARRING OF THE SOLDIERS MONU-
MRNT,

General Bennett claims to have dis
covered authority for advertising the
Mexican war on the Soldiers monument
in the fact that all three of the speakers
at the dedication of the monument,
namely, Governor Hovey, General Man
son and General Coburn, adopted the
idea that the monument was to COM
memorate all the wars in which Indiana
had engaged, from colonial times to
the present. This is no new discovery.
The Journal is we'll aware that these
speakers adopted that idea. 1t had
been strongly antagonized by the Jour-
nal. and the views expressed by the
speakers at the dedication did not con-
vince the Journal that they were right.
Those views were simply an expression
of individual opinion. They were not
supported by any evidence or fact con-
nected with the origin of the monument
or the act of the Legislature authorizing
it. Moreover, while the speakers claimed
that the monument possessed the mean
ing which they put upon it, none of
lean war should be emblazoned ON it in
the staring and conspicuous way adopted
by the commissioners.
The facts remain unchanged as al
ready stated by the Journals: that tho
monument had its origin in the Grand
Army of the Republic, which raised sew
eral thousand dollars for the purpose
before 1t was adopted by the State; in
1885 Marion county appropriated $4,000
to the cause, understanding it to be a
monument to the soldiers of the war for
the Union; it was so universally under
stood by the people; the act of the Legis-
lature did not change thatimpression; the
first biennial report of the commission
ers. issued in 1889, stated, in it's
description of the monument, that lust
below the capital of the shaft is n
bronze astragal bearing the dates 1861,
1862. 1863. 1864 on the several sides of
the monument" Never up to that time
nor till several years later was the idea
broached of making the date Of the

demagogues is called to the statement
OF Mr.. Gompers, president of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, who says of
the strikers: "The company has never
before had to deal with such fine class
of workers. They are intelligent. and
most of them are thrifty and own their
own homes" This does not look as if
they had been ground down much.
