INTERVIEWED.

A. F. Huston, vice president of the Lukens Iron and Steel works of Phila- tlelphia, speaking of the Homestead strike, said to a reporter ''In the western part of Pennsylvania, in fact in the whole of Pennsylvania west of the Allegheny, the wages of the workers in iron and steel mills have been excessively high, and such labor in Pittsburg and vicinity com smands higher wages than in any place east of it. The reason for this is that the Amalgamated association is stronger in the western palt of Pennsylvania than anywhere else.
 In eastern Pennsylvania roller makes
 from $4 to $5 per day, and in the westen |part $20 and even more. A heater in the east also makes $4 to $5, ill the west $1O .and $12, and varying wages in the other grades of expert workmanship. An ex- ample of the extraordinary wages paid
 these skilled workmen is that of More
 head Brothers & Co.,, of Pittsburg. About
 a year ago their roller had made over k s 10, 600 in one year, sum greater than
 the total pl ofits of the concern for that E1ength of time.
 s.This resulted from the rollers pay be-
 lag based on tonnage, and after an intro |duction of improved machinery on new system of work, either of which yielded a
 greater production, the Amalgamated
 association objected to a corresponding
 adjustment of wages. The firm resisted,
 and after contest, was very victorious.
 The circumstances seem to be very sim
 liar in the Carnegie case. By the intro
 duction of new machinery one man is able
 to handle more tons, and the Amalga-
 mated insists, nevertheless, on the same
 rate per ton. The men in the vicinity of
 Pittsburg are no more skilled than others
 in the eastern part of the state.
 "As regards the change in the fiscal year which the Carnegie Co. proposes, l cannot see how that can affect the strikers.
 I do not believe that in that part of Penn sylvania where coal is so cheap the neces- sity of the workers ever become sufficient ly pressing to make them contract against their interests. In the matter of the
 Pinkertons, the facts are that these men were private citizens, hired as watchmen to guard the Homestead steel works as one hires watchman to guard one's fac tory at night.
 If the strikers fred on the men first they put themselves outside the pale oi the law. True, it would be difficult tC l identify these men, and beyond this, it is probable that it would be difficult to ob 1 tain a jury that would convict them." As to the outcome of the strike, Mir. Huston expressed himself as confident in the end the strikers would be compelled to yield ly.lthough it may be months before the works can be put in operation again. "l
 believe the present trouble will subsidt | without any especial results. in the same
 way that the Knights of Labor troubles blew over several years ago."

Springfield Republican: One of <

Springfield Republican,: One of the episodes of Cyrus w. Fields life is re- called by talk with David Dudley Field that of the Andre monument. When Dean Stanley was over here good many years ago, he thought it odd that mo monument had been erected to mark the spot where Andre was hanged, and M Mf. Field said he would put up the monuna ant if Stanley would write the inscriptioh. This was done; modest monument was erected, simply commemorating his toric event. Some fools shattered itWith dynamite; and there was not lacking pretty plain evidence that they were Irish imperfectly Americanized, who had chosen to interpret the erection of the monu- ment as bit of toadyism to England. The insult was deeply felt by Cyrus M Field, as absolute an American as ever lived.

TOM THUMBS TRICK.

General Tom Thumb became a slave to the drink habit in his latter days. After Barnum had taken him to Europe, and had advertised him very extensively, shrewd theatrical manager conceived the idea of starring him in a lilliputian play. A contract was signed and the tour be- gan. The general had no dramatic abili- ty, but the play gave him very little work to do, and people turned out to see the famous little man whom Barnum's genius had made known the world over. He proved great drawing card for while. Then he began to drink heavily, and very often disappointed large audiences by be- ing unable to appear.
 After seeing his money squandered in this manner until patience ceased to be a virtue, the manager decided to adopt he- roic measures. He set himself to watch the general, and never let the little fellow get out of his sight for moment.
 At St. Louis the manager had occasion to leave the hotel for an hour, and, de- termined not to take any chances, locked the general in his room. When he re- turned he was struck speechless with as- tonishment. The door was locked, but stretched upon the floor was Tom Thumb as drunk as a lord. No sooner had the manager left than the general rattied the door until he attracted the attention of a bell boy. Slipping dollar under the door, he instructed the boy to go to sa- loon, buy pint of whisky, and an ordi- l nary clay pipe. When the boy returned, the general told him to put the pipestem through the keyhole and pour the liquor into the pipe bowl. He did so, and the dwarf, standing on tiptoe, placed his lips to the pipestem and drank himself into total unconsciousness, ,-C Chicago M0il.

READ HIS OWN OBITUARy.-Mr. Albert Owens is prominent young farmer near Winnebago City, Minn. He spent hun dreds of dollars in endeavoring to recover from nervous prostration, and year ago was so low that @ report of his death reached the editor of the Winnebago Press News. An obituary of Mir. Owens appeared in that paper, and was read by him. While in this condition he began taking Dr. Miles Restorative Reme- dies, and in short time was a well man. Says he never felt better than now.

Harper's Weekly: Nothing is more certain than that the free-cOiaaGe failaey would never have delnded so many un- uttered minds had the public men who recognized it as a fallacy, instead of pusillanimously yielding tO the current, courageously breasted it at aa early stage The demard for the payment Of the na- tional bonds with depreciated paper mon- ey and the greenback Imitation movement were as strong in their time as the free coinage movement is to-day. But wher- ever they were boldly and vigorously at- tackled, they succumbed to argumentative discussion without long resistance. They turned out to be far less general and pow erful than they had appeared to be. They survived only in a comparatively small number of infatuated theorists, with 8 meagre following of weak minded disci- ples. The great mass of the people show ed itself much more disposed to obey the dictates of honor and of common-sense than the pasillanimous politicians had an- I ticipated.

Doctor-ss We'll, my fine little fellow, you have got quite well again. I was sure the pills left for you would cure you. How did you take them, ill water or in cake?" g..--
 Boy-" Oh, used them in my blow gum"
 The little fellow put the nasty, great, gripping, old-fashioned pills to good use. At most, all his internal economy need- ed was dose of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They are tiny, sugar coated granules, easy to take, and are gently aperient, or actively cathartic, according to size of dose. As laxative, only one tiny Pellet is required.
 The s.Pellets" cure Sick Headache, Bilious Headache, Constipation, 1ndi- gestion, Bilious Attacks, and all de- engagements of the Liver, Stomach and Bowels.
 The "Pcllets !" are purely vegetable, and operate without disturbance to the system, diet, or occupation.
 Dr. Pierce's Pellets are the cheapest pill, sold by druggists, because they are guaranteed to give satisfaction in every case, or their price (25 cents vial) Is refunded. Can you ask more?

A MISSING DOCUMENT.

The Bond Given by Jefferson Davis to
Answer for Treason Missing from the
United States Circuit Court Archives at
Richmond, Va.
RICHMOND. Va, Dec. 29.-It has be-
come known that the bond given to the
United States government by Jeffer-
son Davis, to answer to the circuit
court in this city for treason, is missing
from the court records. This paper
bears the signatures of Horace Greeley,
John Minor Bolts, Gerritt Smith and
other prominent persons. The present
clerk of the circuit court, M. T. Pleas
ants, who was the chief clerk of the de-
partment of justice in Washington at the
time of his appointment to his present
position in 1870, found that the docu-
ment was missing soon after his advent
as clerk, and ever since he has made
diligent efforts to find it, but without
success. He has many offers for the
original or fac simile of the paper,
one of the most tempting being from a
prominent magazine.
He told United Press reporter yes
terday that he had a suspicion of the
thief, but declined to say anything
about the person, except that he was
dead.

THE BEHRlnG SEA CASE.

A Prominent Senator Thinks the Bound

be Settled by War, and We Would Bet
ter be Prepared.
New YORK, Dec. 29.-The Evening
Telegram publishes the following, un-
der Washington date: 1t is believed the
court of arbitrators in the Behring sea
case has been decided upon. The gov
ernment will select Frauce and it is be-
lieved that England will select Italy.
These 20 owers will select third. AS
the sealing season will not open until
June, there is no great hurry.
ga prominent member of the foreign
affairs committee of the senate, who
has been consulted in every stage of
the Behring sea case said yesterday
morning that Y is not to be
expected that the decision made
by the commission would be mu-
tually satisfactory to both the
United States and England. 1T is only
a question of time said the senator,
until we will be compelled to go to war
with England to settle the question Of
our northern boundary. We are not
ready for war now with great power,
but we will have to have one sooner or
later, and we have no time to loose in
establishing good navy and system
of coast defenses. Of course, we could
whip England on land. Congress, l be-
lieve will appreciate our position toward
England, and will see the necessity of
making liberal appropriations for the
immediate improvement of our navy"
