ONE element Of danger has been re-
moved from railway travel in the report
ed construction OF a machine for
furnishing light to passengers trains by
means of electricity. While the hot
Goals have constituted the chief menace
in the event of railway accidents, the
presence of gas tanks and lighted gas
burners on passenger cars is danger
GUS beyond doubt, and in many cases
are responsible for the rapid spread of
fire.
Tie machine lately devised is simple
in theory and construction, and it seems
strange that the great pressure which
public sentiment has brought to bear
upon the matter of railway coach heat.
ing and Lighting has not produced some
successful experiment in this direction
before this. The apparatus consists of
a simple N )tor attached to the forward
axle of the locomotive and furnishing
current by means OF connecting wires
to the various cars, in each of which is
stationed compact but powerful stor-
age battery TO receive and preserve the
the energy. The movement of the
locomotive generates the power, and
the batteries IN each car store suffi-
Gent amount OF it to last during the
periods when the engine Is at stand
still. The simplicity of the machine
appears to be one of its chief virtues.

RIOT AND BLOODSHED.
Conflict between Strikers and
PInkertOn Men at Home
stead, Pa.

At midnight on June Both the scale of
wages in force 10 the IronWorks expired,
and owing to differences between the
workmen and the employers over the
new sc lie to be adopted about $50 rolling
mills in various parts of the country are
Idle and nearly 10000 men are out of
work. The workmen demand the re-
adoption of the old scale, which the
employers say they cannot afford to pay
because iron has declined great, in piice
since the wages were advanced. Labor
has borne no share OF the decline, but
the scale of wages has been steadily
maintained. The low price of iron is
attributable to over production and the
encroachment of steel upon the iron
trade, soft steel being now made more
cheaply than iron.
At Homestead, Pa, where the Carnegie
works are situated, very serious trouble
has occurred, resulting in considerable
loss of life. Alter the works there closed
down the idle workmen became SO threat
ening the mill owners applied to the
Sheriff for posse of deputy sherifs to
guard the works and prevent any des-
tructiOn of property. The strikers were
assembled in force about the m lis and
refused to permit the deputies to enter.
The owners then engaged force of
500 Pinkerton men to take aud hold
possession of the works, aud these went
down the river in barges fro m Pitts
burg on Tuesday night. Early Wed
nesday morning, when they ate mpted
to land at the works, the strikers oppos-
ed them, several thousand strong, and |
fired upon them. The fire was returned,
and sharp fusilIade was kept up for |
some time, ceasing only to be renewed
vt intervals during the day. Nine of !
he special policemen and twelve of the
strikers were killed and number on
10Th sides wounded. The strikers held
possession of the works, and seizing

SENATOR MANDERsoN on Tuesday

SENATOR MANDERsoN on Tuesday in
troduced in the Senate a bill 10 create
a National Highway Commission to
consist of two Senators, five Represen
talives, the Secretaries Of War Agricul-
ture and interior, the Post master Gen
.eral, the Attorney General and an asso-
cate member from each State and
Territory. Meetings are to be held IN
Washington during the sessions OF Con
ress, in Chicago during the Worlds
-air, and at such other places and times
the majority may elect. The com
ission is to investigate the needs of
country in regard to highways and
,ort to Congress. This movement IS
of much importance, and is fraught !
possibilities OF great and lasting
a eft to the country. 1t may be the
N step in the solution OF The public

AMONG those who voted in favor of
the passage of the Stewart silver bill,
as it was modified, were Senator Cam
eron, Of Pennsylvania, and Senator
Hill, OF New York. Both represent
constituencies unchangeably opposed
to any measure, such as the Senate
bill, the purpose of which is avoWedly
to debase the currency and to de-
prive public and private credit of the
solid foundations which sustain it
those Of the gold standard of value
and when they voted for The Stewart
bill they knew they were doing so in
contravention of the opinions and
desires of overwhelming numbers of
their constituents. The sentiments
of the people of the great Common.
wealths of New York and Pennsyl-
vania are so well known to be in
irreconcilable opposition to any and
every thing in the form OF free silver
coinage as to render it absolutely i'm
possible for Messrs. Cameron and
Hill to be in ignorance with regard
to it. 1t was, therefore, impossible
for them 10 have voted as they did
except in open disregard Of the
wishes OF the great communities of
business they assume to represent
as Senators of the United States.
They similarly voted contrary to the
Interpretation put upon the silver
planks OF their respective parties by
the Presidential candidates chosen
to stand upon them, and of the pre-
ponderating multitudes of the people
of New York and Pennsylvania.
When such honored and trusted
public servants as Senators prove
false to their trust the country is to
be congratulated that in the Execu-
tive office there is one with the will
and the power to render futile all
their efforts to debase the currency
and place in jeopardy the common
credit.

Two United States Senators and

Two United States Senators and
six members Of Congress send greet
ing to the Peoples Party, in which
they declare that "the people are
sinking from afluence to penury,
and laborers in the cities, factories,
shops end mines are dying ofstarva-
ton and by Pinkerton bullets" The
ridiculous falsity of this declaration
makes it very bad foundation on
which to build up new party. Men
who write such stuff have very little
appreciation OF the intelligence
of voters whose sufrages they ask.

Mr.. CLEVELAND is in an unpleas-
ant dilemma on the question of free
coinage of silver. If he speaks out
out against it, the Southern and
Western Democrats will knife him,
and il he does not speak out,
he will invite the suspicion and dis
approval OF the Mugwumps. He
has a difficult problem before him,
when it comes to vote catching.

MODERN DEMOCRACY W
ANDREW JACKSON.

THE Chicago Convention Of latter
day Democrats has just formulated
a new Democratic doctrine, viz that
the Government has no constitu
tional right to levy a protective
tariff.
1--WE declare it to be fundamen.
tai principle OF the Democratic party
that the Federal Government has
no constitutional power to impose
and collect tariff duties except for
the purposes Of revenue only" says
their platform.
And yet Andrew Jackson, the
greatest of the saints IN the Demo-
cratic calendar, declared this TO be
an indispensable power" and one
within the scope of the authority
"expressIy delegated to Con-
gress."
Read what he said in his annual
message in 1880.
"The power to impose duties on
imports originally belonged to the
several States Tie right to adjust
those duties aoIth a 11e70 to the en-
c0n1agement Of domestic branches Of
iNaNSk,y is SO completely identical
7OiM that bo70er that it is difficult to
SUPPOSE tie existence Of tile one a0ilh-
Outthe other. The States have dele
gated their authority over imports
to the general government, without
limitation or restriction, saving the
very inconsiderable reservation telat-
ing to their inspection laws. This
authority having entirely passed
from the State, the right to exercise
it for the purpose Of Protection does
not exist in them, and, consequently,
if it be not possessed by the general
government, it must be extinct.

FED Of tile right TO foster their O70n
industry and 10 c0unLeyacf tie most
selfish and deShncti0e policy a0hich
might be ADOPTED BY foreign nations.
This surely cannot be the case.
This indispensable power, thus
surrendered by the State, must be
within the scope of the authority on
the subject expressly delegated to
Congress. In this conclusion am
confirmed as we'll by the opinions
of Presidents Washington, Jefferson,
Madison and Monroe, who have
each repeatedly recommended the
exercise of this right, under the
Constitution, as by the uniform
practice of Congress, the continued
acquiescence Of the States and the
general understanding of the PEG
ple."

OUTSIDE OF his views on the
current campaign. the most signl
ficant portion OF John A. ClaIkson's |
recent address accepting the thanks
Of the National Republican Com
mittee for his services to the party |
was that which he devoted TO the
question of friendship in politics.
His words on this point deserve to
be remembered.
I'm my political life" he said, 81
have found that in that field can be
made and are made the most precious
friendships of ones lie. There are
more sacrifices made i'll that field
than in any other. There is more
heart in politics than in any other
walk in life, and | say fearlessly and
honestly that men engaged i'll poll
tics will go farther to serve friend
than in any other sphere OF mans
existence -
Mr.. Clarkson could not have
chosen a better time for his remarks
on this subject. Under the leader
ship Of he Mugwumps there has
lately been a large movement look
ing toward the crucihxion OF nearly
all politicians, especially those in the
Republican party, on the ground
that they were in politics for them
selves. No great leader has escaped
from this charge entirely. 1t has
been made in some form against
President Harrison, ex S -cretary
Blaine, Senator Quay, Mr.. Clarkson
and hundreds of other. 1t did not
interfere With those who urged the
theory that the unselfish devotion
OF these men had many times been
demonstrated under the most trying
circumstances and when the facts
taught the very reverse of what was
alleged. Mr.. ClarkSoE may have
given a little more prai-e to one or
two leaders than was actually merit
ed, but he deserves the thanks of
manly men for attacking this
general policy of political assassina-
ton.
History shows that the most
successful leaders were those who
remembered their friends. What
else could be expected The poll
tlcian, more perhaps than any other
man in the world, is dependentupon
the assistance of his friends. He
finds their aid invaluable in nearly
all Of his plans. II he is candidate
for office himself, he needs their
votes in order to be elected If he
has friends whom he wants to
promote, he needs their endorse
| ments when their direct votes are
not necessary. In order to have
them serve him he must be ready
to serve them, and there are few
occasions on which he does not do
this gIadly. There are few men
in political life who have won dis
tinction by the opposite course, but
they are SO rare as to be almost
forgotten.
The rules which govern other
businesses apply with equal force to
this profession. Men who desert
their friends will find themselves
speedily without following OF much
consequence. This refutes at once
the accusation that they are wholly
selfish. They have their prejudices
and their favorites; they make
many bitter enemies in the course of
their lives, and they have often
their own ends to serve; hut they
could not be what their critics allege
and maintain the influence which
they are admitted to have.

THE Philadelphia Record sa

THE Philadelphia Record says:
"a member of Congress elected as
a Democrat who should repudiate
any one of the three great issues of
the late Democratic National Con-
vention-Tarif Reform, Honest
Money and Opposition to the Force
bill-could have no just claim to
recognition as national Democrat. I"
If the Records measure is insisted
upon the Democrats in Congress
will undoubtedly be in the minority,
for nearly two thirds of the Demo
cratic Congressman are IN favor OF
the free silver bill, which certainly is
not an "honest money" measure

THE ONLY LEHMAN BROS. SHOW.
The Only Big Show to Exhibit in this
Vicinity this Year

Through an arrangement entered
into between the proprietors Of the
leading shows Of the country the
Great Lemen Bros. Shows, which APP
pear in Texarkana, Saturday, Sept. a.,
will be the only tented exhibition of
any Importance that will visit this sec
ton Of country this year. Already
the circus-loving portion of this COM
munity is on the tip-toe of expectancy
over the coming Of the old reliable
Lemen Bros. aggregation; and 1t can
be set down as certainty that 1t will
attract tremendous crowds. The pro-
prietors of this well known establish
ment, who are the acknowledged lead
ers of the circus business of Ameri-
ca, are said to have outdone all previ-
GUS efforts in this line; both in theno
city of the entertainment and in the
wonderful features exhibited. The Sc
curing of the famous Rajah, the larg-
est elephant on earth, secured at q cost
Of over $4,000. The enormous out
lay of cash is evidence that the man.
ayers of this great show are bound to
exhibit to its patrons something new
and worthy the great name and repu-
tation it already has. The street pa
rade will be the grandest ever seen
here After the parade grand free
show will be given on the show
grounds, which is said to be the best
ever given. We confidently predict
enormous crowds on Saturday, Sept
"a.
