THE HOMESTEAD TROUBLE.
Strikers Applying for Work Required
to Sign an Agreement.

Strikers Applying for Work Required
to Sign an Agreement.
PITTsBURG, Nov. 22.-The strikers ap-
plying for work at Homestead are re-
quired to sign an agreement to refrain
from belonging to any labor organization
and be governed entirely by the regula-
tions of the company. The rush for en-
ployment continues. Many of those who
took the strikers places are leaving, and
some are discharged but the most of
them leave Of their own accord. The
borough of Homestead is in financial
embarrassment, owing to a failure to col
lect taxes. Measures are to be taken to
relieve the stringency.
WAGES REDUCED.
BEAVER FALLS pa, Nov. 22.-Many
of those who regained their old positions
at the Carnegie Mills are much depressed
over the notification of a reduction of
wages. The boiler men, who formerly
received g . per day, must now work
for 81 -. The wages Of other employees
have been cut in proportion.
CRITCHLow TRIAL.
PITTsBuRG, Nov. 22.-The Sylvester
Critchlow trial was resumed this morn
ing. Critchlow, in his own behalf, testi-
fed that he was not on the company's
grounds and did not fire q shot during
certain specified hours on the day Of the
Homestead riot. Mrs. Critchlow testi-
fed that when she reached home at 4 r.
NJ. she found her husband asleep. The
defense then rested, and the prosecution
called several unimpOrtant witnesses in
rebuttal. Arguments then commenced.
Attorney Robb, for the State, in his ad-
dress to the jury this afternoon, severely
scored the attorneys for the defense for
the line Of argument followed by them in
opening the case. He said if he were not
better citizen than to advise jurors to
disregard their oaths, as has been done in
this case, he would wish he were dead.
II argued at length to show that Critch-
low had not established an alibi.
Attorney Erwin of Sioux Falls, S. D.,
for the defense, made an impassioned adj
dress, in the course of which he said the
battle at Homestead was the result of an
unwarranted invasion Of the peoples ter
ritory by the Pinkertons. Unless the
right of the Pinkertons to be there was
made plain, the people should have shot
them down, should have shot them after
leaving the barges, should have shot them
at Gods own altar. He went on to say
that even if the jury did not agree with
him that force was illegal against armed
invasion, there had not been bit of evil
dence to show that there was an organ
lied resistance to their landing, no resist
ance to a legally authorized watchman.
He asserted that the first shot came from
the boat, and asked, "Do you deny the
right of those on shore to defend them
selves?" Fire, oil and dynamite should
be used upon those who fire upon people,
said he,

Drawing Beer from q Clock.

One Of the cleverest devices that hav,
lately come to the notice of the police
was discovered at South Cove house
The police felt certain that the OCCUPANT
OF this house was dealing in liquor lille
gally, and they searched the place re.
peatedly, but failed to find any substan.
tial sign of guilt. At last one man, while
making search at this house, happened
to open the door to an innocent looking
tall clock, when 10! a faucet was re-
vealed to his sight. He turned the han.
die of the faucet and beer flowed from
it freely. Tearing the clock from the
wall he saW pipe, which led him to a
cutely covered hole in dark cellar,
where several barrels of beer were
found.
1t came out that the proprietor of the
place had rubber tube, one end of which
he occasionally attached to the faucet
and placed the other end in large milk
can, thus drawing supply of beer suf-
tcient for all demands for a time If
the police suddenly happened in upon
him he would quickly empty the con-
tents of the can into a sink. No other
persons knew of the faucet in the clock,
for all that he showed his customers was
the milk can. He was a plumber, and
had personally placed the necessary pipe
and other fixtures in position.-Boston

OUR VOTES ARE NECESSARY,
Why are Our Needs Not considered7

We see just now much talk to the
effect that the National Democratic
party must not do this or that or
must not advocate this or that, be-
cause II would be unsatisfactory to
the eastern democrats, therefore we
must not contend for what Is right
and what would benefit our sections
lest we lose their support. Why is
1t that the wishes and into ests Of our
section are never consulted, because
we are fools enough to submit to
what they say is necessary to party
success. We would rather have de-
feat than empty victory. Whenever
we give the North and the East to
understand that the party is in as
much danger Of losing the supper
OF our section, when our best interests
are not considered, then and not till
then will we deserve relief, and we
certainly will not get it till we have
the manhood to take such a position.
THE CAUCASIAN has already taken
that position and will fight or that
line to the last ditch.

This bill proposes in addition to its
free coinage features, 10 Cal, in all

to be passed as silver and god in

certificate, no silver certificate, no

gold or silver at the option of the
government. Then, too, the ratio

MilliOnaries. We have been ask
ed how many million aries there are
in the United States. Mr.. Thorn as
g. Sherman's estimates, are very
cautious and conservative. He
estit-ated that there were 200 per-
sons owning an average of over
S2v:0O0.0O0, 400 owning over sIC,-
600, 1000, 1000 owning over s5,0OO,-
900, 1900 owning over $1,000, 900,
5000 owning over $1,000, 900, Is, 900
owning over $500, 000-25, 900 per-
sons owning more than half the
national wealth. He added: "This
estimate is far below the actual
truth" Making an estimate from
TIE deposife in the New England
savings banks he concludes that
q, 900, 600, workers have stved
s15, 900 900. 900, leaving $4,000, OOO,.
600 in the possession of rot more
than 400, 600. The number of mil
lionaries has increased in the two
years that have passed since the
estimate was made, as the financial
depression is less unfavorable TO the
rich than the poor. We guess that
there ere now from fifteen to twenty
thousand mlllfOnaires.
