The organization In question, II It can be called

protection" or free trade" according as they
are paid by the unsOphlsticated politicians who
imagine these gentry have any following among
the working people here. We have In this city
quite number Of such striking organizations
both Democratic and Republican; they pass
resolutions to order, or pass them before they
receive orders, and then try to sell them. These
organizations" sprout up during campaign,
especially q presidential one, regularly every
time. The fact Is that the rank and ile Of the
working people In New York st least, take no
stock whatever IN This protection or free trade

only.
Thus another bright vision Of the
Capital fades into thin air. This
campaign material manufactured to
order and for revenue, will not fool
the people Of Kansas this year. Let

There are q whole lot of Republi-
can editors in Kansas who are fixing
to get themselves into trouble, if not
into jail, through their great desire
to run a paper according to the mo-
tions Of George 7. Anthony.
Some Of them are circulating CAM
paign literature in the wrapper with
their paper, at newspaper rates. It
is the usual rot furnished by Repub-
licsn committees and protective tariff
leagues, labeled Supplement" and

in Kansas are determined to out
carnegie Carnegie. Through their
desire to kiss the foot of organized
capital they go so far as to say that
the iron workers union should be
held accountable for the attempt on

GEN. SNOWDEN APPROVED THE INHUMAN
PUNISHMENT OF PRIVATE IAMS.

Gen. Snowden, like the cowardly
cur he is known to be, would like TO
escape responsibility for the barbsr-
ous trestmen of Private Iams, since
it has received the universal condem-
nation Of the people irrespective of
party. He is on record, however, and
such escape is out Of the question.
The Democratic convention of Ale
gheny county, at its session on July
81, adopted the following resolution:
Resolved, That this convention strongly con-
demnS the brutal and lnhuman punishment or
dered by Gen. George SnOWden and Col. StFeetor
on said Private Iams, and calls on Governor

THE CAPITALS" FALSE SPECIALS.
Some time ago we called attention
to the unfairness and absolute false
hood Of tho Capitals specials from
various partS of the state. There
upon appeared in that journal
double loaded article giving instruc-
tions to It's correspondents to make
only truthful reports. This was kept
standing for two or three issues, but
it failed TO bring results Evidently
the Capital has the sameSCOrrespond.
ents that it had In 1890 and they are
bound to conduct the same kind Of q
campaign.
Take, for instance, che special from
KingmAn relative to the Peoples
party rally at that place. 1t is re-
ported az an absolute failure "a
fzZle--no crowd and no enthusiasm.
Private reports from that meeting
show il to have been an old time rally
Of thousands Of enthusiastic Peoples
party men such as characterized the
campaign Of 1890.
It is by such false reports that the
Capital has established it's reputation
for unfairness and falsehood. OF
course the people in other parts Of
the state have no means Of knowing
the truth, but the people Of Kingman
do know II, and when those people
see similar reports from other locali-
ties, they will Judge Of their correct
ness by the correctness Of the report
from their own locality. This will be
the case likewise in other places. It
has become known by this means that
DO reliance whatever is to be placed
upon these specials, and wherever we
go this is the uniform expression con-
Cerning them.
We are not speaking of this matter
in a complaining way, because this
policy has done us an immense
amount of good in the past and will
do more in the future. We only
speak Of it in order to keep il con-
stantly before the people. TNis We
intend to do, and we intend further to
make special exposures of the Capi-
tGps falsehoods occasionally when
they are ofsuficient importanceto to de-
mand it, by wsy Of emphasizing lthe
facts. It isnOt as necessary to do this aB

Of the sheethas become so well known

A Few Interesting Developments Ex-
pected This Week.
WAsHINsToN, Feb. 1.-THE programme
in the senate for this week includes at
least one measure OF popular interest.
namely, the Paddock bill to prevent the
adulteration and misbranding of food
and drugs. 1t will be called up inme-
diately after action on the printing bill.
The Idaho senatorial contest is also on
the docket, and Senator Pamler may
speak on his bill proposing the election
of senators by the people.
In the house the worlds fair investi-
CATION resolution and other COM
mittee reports are likely to come up,
but the most interesting feature
of the week probably will be found
in the proceedings of the house coinage
committee, which has made an order
that discussions shall close and voting
begin at IL o'clock Wednesday, on the
Bland free coinage silver bill. Since
the order was made, Bland has intro
auced q substitute for the bill named in
the committee order, and Wednesdays
session may be exhausted before the
committee reaches final vote on, the
question of reporting free coinage bill
to the house. In this event, an adj
journment until the following day is not
unlikely, as it can be positively stated
to be the intention" OF the committee
to make it's report to the house at an
early day.

HON. J. @. CLARKsoN, Chairman Republican
National Committee:
MY DEAR SIR: am not candidate
for the presidency and my name will
not 60 before the Republican national
convention for nomination. Imake this
announcement in due season. To those
who have rendered me their support ]
give sincere thanks, and am most CRATE.
full for their confidence. They will,
am sure, make an earnest effort in the
approaching contest, which is rendered
specially importantb by reason of the in
dustrial and financial policies OF the
government being at stake.
Popular decision in these issues is OF
great moment and will be of far-reach-
ing consequence.
Very sincerely yours,

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE Herald to-
morrow will say, referring to Blaine's
letter, that it eliminates from the po-
litical campaign very important ele-
ment that thes Republicans have lost
their strongest man and the Democrats
shrewdest opponent has retired. The
Democrats, says the Heaald, have a large
number of men who certainly can run
against Harrison.
The Tribune says the an
nouncement will cause sorrow
and disappointment to thousands of
Republicans. Certainly that foremost
citizen of the country will not be the
next president, and the presumption
that he will never secure that great of
flee, says the Tribune, cannot fail to
afflict multitude of his fellow citizens
with keen sense of personal grief. The
Tribune says further Blaine had a per-
feet right to allow his name to be used
in connection with the presidency while
holding the Office OF secretary OF state,
and Harrison and he had no misunder-
standing on the subject.

STARTLING STATEMENT.

statement to a World reporter last
night. She said at O'Clock in the
morning, when she left the hotel to go
across the street to sleep, Engineer
Harding was drunk. She saw him
stagger, she said, and others told her
Harding was seen under the influence
of liquor earlier in the night. Night
Clerk Underwood denied the story when
repeated to him. He said Harding was
steady man and sober on Saturday
night.
The chef of the house said Yesterday
one of his cooks may have left grease
pot on the stove, and that it boiled over;
the burning fat, in that event, could
have set fire to the floor and wall, or
blazed up to the ceiling. The fire may
have started in this way.
Engineer Harding is positive that his
furnace and boiler were in good order
and that no burning Goals escaped. The
the fire broke out.
1t was common gossip in the servants'
dormitory at No. 695 Sixth avenue, that
the time of the fire. The scrub women
said he was generally asleep at that
hour in the morning. No one could be
found to verify this report.

ship was established by the courts

The contest was not one of personal strife
nor to satisfy any ambition of my own,
but to comply with and uphold the con-
stitution of the state. Now that the
public press has announced that the
