Twenty Million Dollars in Geld
on a Train.

The special train from San Francisco.
bearing S20,000,000 in gold bound for the
United States sub-treasury in New York, ar
rived in New York last week Tuesday
morning. Among those who went to the
depot to receive it was j. Lowrie Bell, sec
ond assistant postmaster-general. AS soon
as the train had been switched on to the
siding nearest to Madison avenue, process
sion of fifteen post-ofhce delivery wagons
drew up at the sidewalk under command of
@. H. Needham, superintendent of mail
wagons, who at once ordered five OF them
into the railroad yard, where they backed
up against the cars containing the gold,
which was in small boxes about two feet
long by ten inches square at the ends, each
containing S40, 600, and the work OF shipping
the treasure to Wall street began. On each
side of the doors OF the treasure cars stood a
guard armed with two revolvers and Win
chester rifle, who kept sharp lookout that
nobody ran off with any of the boxes, which
weighed as much as any one man could
handle with ease, Each wagon carried
thirty-tive boxes and carried two armed
guards on the front seat and one on the rear
step. The trip from San Francisco was
made under the command OF Captain James
E. White, general superintendent of rail-
way mail service. The men detailed for
the important task OF seeing the gold through
were carefully picked from the railway
mail service of the entire country. The
train was made up of five cars. Captain
w mite y system Oh prOtectlon was as cOm-
plete as he could make it. In each car half
Of the guard sat on watch with loaded car
bines across their knees and revolvers in
their belts for six hours at stretch. 1t was
six hours on and six hours off all through
the trip, except for Captain White, who re-
NAMED on guard himself all night and a
good part of the day besides at the most inn
portant post on the whole train. The car
in which Captain White and his special
guard rode was next to the engine and his
post was in the large drawing-room at the
head of the car. Here he sat at the front
window on the right hand side, where he
could command the engineer and protect
him in case of attack. His pistol always
lay on a table in front of him, and his car
bine rested against the wall of the car at his
side. Captain Whites instructions to every
engineer who hauled the train were to go
ahead regardless of every effort to "hold him
up" Remember that we are right behind
you" he said "ready to put bullet in the
first man that dares to attack you" There
were always three men on guard at the for
ward end OF this car. The trip from ocean
to ocean was made in four days, thirteen
hours and sixteen minutes,

Mckinley bill. The outcome of this
lockout will, perhaps, determine
whether l shall continue an adherent
of McKinleysm." In other words,
the only question in the mind of Mr.
O'Donnell is whether he and his asso-
ciates in the Amalgamated Association
of Steel and Iron Workers or the nom
union men who are now in the Home
stead mill get the high wages paid there.
If Mr.. O'Donnell doesn't continue to
get the good pay which protection made
it possible for him to get, he will not
care a rap what becomes of the Nc
Kinley law and the men it now pro-
tects. What other inference can be
drawn from this reported remark?
The contractors and builders of New
York city intimate that they have found
solution for the sympathetic strikes
from which they have been suffering
severely lately. They have organized
an association which includes so many
members that they are able in twenty
four hours, at the first sign of strike,
to stop all building operations in the
city. This would be a sympathetic
lock- out. Such combinations of en-
ployers are an inevitable consequence
of unreasonable demands by the labor
unions and of sympathetic strikes.
They must be reckoned upon by the
unions in their future operations. That
such combinations are undesirable, goes
without saying; but they and labor
unions will exist as long as there is a
disposition on the side of either en-
ployer or employed to get more than is
fair and just in return for what is given.
The solution of the labor problem would
seem to lie in the individual application
of justice quite as much as in any
method of organization.
THE democracy is busily engaged in
peddling it's quadrennial chestnut about
republican mismanagement of state
finances. This chestnut was first put
on the market in 1880, and at the end of
a disastrous campaign the democracy
went out of the business with its en-
tire stock on hand. They hawked their
wares in every market and at every
crossroads in the state but found no
investors. The same old shop.worn,
worm-eaten goods are brought out in
the year of every national election and
Justify cried from every curbstone, but
not even the gamins of the street can
be tempted to bite the mouldy things.
Here comes the same old chestnut
again, in this year of grace, 1892,
coated with few new and sugary lies
to conceal its ancient rottenness, but
the people know it despite its disguise,
No go, Mr.. Argus and Mr.. RJormerl
Invent some new romance to catch
voters. 1t is noticeable that the demo.
cracy's voice is silent as the grave
when any new scheme for the use Of
money is before the legislature, and
one of the worst that ever came before

democrat. For another, and the most
absurd of all, the democratic Argus hat
no word of objection since its editor
was given an honorary position in con
nection Herewith. Democrats are
always in to the eyelids when there is

THE Brattleboro Rgormer, after a
brief review of the encouraging sta
tistics given in the recently-issued
pamphlet of the State Board of Agri-
culture, remarks: "And this is only
the beginning of the good work. The
next ten years are going to witness
something like repetition of the first
ten of the century, when Vermont made
more rapid progress than any other
state in the Union in wealth and popula-
ton" 1t is to be hoped that this opti-
mistc prophecy will be realized.

SENATOR CARLISLE admits that it
may be impossible for one nation to es
tablish silver coinage permanently at
fixed ratio, and thinks an international
conference is the only means of doing
it. That is just what the republican
party has been saying all along, and it
was on that idea that President Harri-
son took the first steps toward the con-
ference which is now certainty. When
Senator Carlisle says what he does, he
endorses republican doctrine. His own
party has been acting on the opposite
plan, which is for this country to fix
the ratio, and go ahead without regard
to the rest of the world This was the
proposition for which large majority
of democrats in both houses of this
congress voted. 1t is quite evident
that Senator Carlisle is at odds with his
party. -

Wilson In FAIRHAVEN
The Popular Congressman breaches
Strong Doctrine
REPUBLICANS OUT IN FORCE
The Leading Issues of the Campaign
Ably Handled-The Right
of a Free Ballot

A large and appreciative audience,
comprised of ladies and gentlemen
from Fairhaven and New Whatcom,
was present at the pavilion last even
ing for the purpose of hearing the ad-
dresses to be delivered on the issues of
the campaign by Hon. John l.. VIII
son, of Spokane, and Mr.. A. f. Bur-
leigh, of Seattle. The latter gentleman
was not able to be present at the meet
ing, owing to the pressure of other en-
gagements. President A. III. Clarke,
of the Fairhaven chamber of commerce,
introduced Mr.. Wilson, who presented
an able argument in favor of the prin-
ciples of the Republican party, holding
his audience in easy control for over an
hour and a half, and calling forth re-
peated rounds of applause by the mas
terly presentation of the different
points in his address.
In beginning his speech he alluded
to the four cardinal principles of the
party as being desire for peace with
all the world; commercial expansion of
the interests of the United States with
every other nation; the encouragement
and protection Of all forms of home in
dustries, and protection to every citi-
zen of the government, whether
at home or abroad, including
the right to free ballot, to
which he alluded as the sole guaran-
tee of the people against oppression.
Mr.. Wilson reviewed the land policy of
Mr.. Cleveland's administration as
against that of Harrison, i'm which he
referred to the fact that during the four
years of the former there were issued
7,077 patents to residents of the state of
Washinton, while Harrison, i'm three
years, had issued l7,20S, beside bring
ing the land Office business up to cur
rent date. The speaker also touched on
the tariff question, showing his thor
ough grasp of the subject, and hand
ling it with the strength of "A master
He also spoke at some length on the
silver question.
Mr.. Wilson has been suffering for the
past few days with severe cold, which
he has contracted in travelling about
the state, and which will prevent his
giving an address at Friday Harbor
this evening, according to announce
ment. AS he is to speak in New What
com on Monday evening, he has de-
clded to rest quietly at the Fairhaven
over the Sabbath i'm the hope of rid
ding himself Of his present indisposi-

LEWIS WANTS TO BE SENATOR

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 29.-Judge
Ross, of the United States district
court, today decided that the McKin-
ley bill did not repeal the act of 1883
granting the right of a rebate of IS
cents a ton on bituminous coal which is
afterwards used for fuel on American
vessels engaged in the coasting trade.
This decision was given in the case of
Allen VS.. United States. Allen had
imported bituminOus coal from Ma
naimo, b. c., and afterwards sold it for
fuel to the steamer Humboldt, engaged
in the coasting trade. Allen applied to
the collector of the port for rebate,
but it was refused, and he brought suit.
The decision will result in the pay
ment of 100000 to coal dealers in this
city, who since the passage of the Nc
Kinley bill have been deprived of the
rebate on all coal sold to American
steamships.

A sad accident occurred yesterday
morning to Max Mann, lad years Of
age, by which he lost the index finger
of his left hand. Little Max was play
ing with a boy of his own age, and
placed his hand on the wood block
while his playmate held an uplifted
axe above his head. The little fellow
allowed the axe to fall, thinking that
Max would Of course snatch his hand
away, but the descent was too quick,
the sharp blade completely severing the
finger from Max's hand before he could
get Il away from the block.
