r. therefore. you keep away from Rich

But you must bear in mind. MAJOR Field
that this General" Weaver has said some
,erv hard things about our people here.
You must remember that he has many
times derided US before the world as crimi-
nails. whose proper place was the interior OF
the penitentisry and you cannot expect
that We are going to feel especially kindly

therefore. you come here with this dis

holy undertaking. you may find that this
good-natured people, long suffering as they
are. have limit to their iorbearance
and you may forfeit the remnant Of esteem
for you to which they still cling, an esteem
which YOU have enjoyed and possessed
mainly because you patriOtlcally did your
whole duty 10 your country as far as a quar-
termsster may when you were major IN
the Quartermaster's Department OF the Con-
federate States Army, with which service
they think your present course wholly at
war. II. therefore. Major Field you place
any sort Of esteem upon the good will OF
those whom you once counted your friends
here, we advise you 10 keep away
from Richmond when General Wea-
yer arrives upon his PROSECUTING
expedition. You will find there is no sort Of
response here 10 the war cry Of your Han
over courthouse meeting. Negro rule be-
fore Wall-street dictation." You will find
that nobody here believes that the great
Democratic party allows Wall street in any
way whatever TO dictate its course TO it, but
that, as between Wsll-street rule and negro
rule, every man, woman and child here will
gladly take Wall-street rule. Though we
might not be 30 prosperous under Wall
street rule as under some other rule, our
men would at least be safe from the insults
of negro policemen and our women would
be protected from the outrages of negro
fends.
We had intended to say more to you re-
specting your interview. but this article is
already long enough. We may have another
word with YOU later on.

MILITARY RULE.
The Baltimore Sun of yesterday has the
following telegram from Homestead:

The Baltimore Sun Of yesterday has the
following telegram from Homestead:
Private Iams. Of X Company. Tenth Reg
iment, shouted Yesterday afternoon when
the report of the attempted assassination of
Mr.. Friok reached the provisional brigade
for three cheers for the assassin. Colonel
Streetor. from his quarters. heard the IN
cendiary shout. He hurried into CAM. and
ordered the regiment to be paraded in
double quick time.
When his command was drawn up he re-
cited TO the soldiers the remark he had
heard. II heard the voice distinctly" the
Colonel said, II think | recognized 1t. and
want the man who made the statement TO
advance two PAGES"
The Colonel had recognized Iams voice.
and he was standing directly in front OF the
accused when he was talking. Immediately
Private Iams stepped 10 the front. He was
trembling like an aspen. and ne seemed e{
unable 10 hold his gun. You offered three
cheers for the killing Of Mr.. Frick, did you
mott" the Colonel asked
Iams did not answer. He hung his head
and nodded in the affirmative. He was or
dered TO the guard-house. The Colonel and
his staff. including the surgeons. then went
to the guard house. The officer of the day
took charge of the criminal. and at the
Colonel's orders he was hung up by the
thUbtbo iOi Univ hlnulcb.
The surgeons renamed with the unfortu-
nate man during all his punishment. One
of them kept watch on his pulse while an
other looked after his heart. and at the end
of thirty minutes Surgeon Neff ordered him
taken down. When released young Iams
was limp and apparently unconscious The
surgeons remained with him for an hour,
when he was taken 10 his quarters.
The severity of lams' punishment was due
10 his refusal TO take back or apologize for
the expression. To-day one side of his head
was shaved and the buttons cut from his
uniform. Of which he was then stripped.
He was given a suit Of cast-oh plain cloth
ing part being pair Of overalls, and WAS
at once drummed ont of the camp. The
proceedings were approved by General
Snowden. Young Iams lives in Waynes-
borO.
This soldier was in camp at Homestead to
suppress all defances of law. and when he
applauded the assassn's act he took the
side of those whose unlawful acts he was
there to oppose He joined the enemy
against his own command.
There is a deep lesson in this incident.
This summary and severe punishment for
an expression of opinion is Military Cor
eminent. This is what the people have 20
expect when they abandon the methods Of
civil government aud produce state Of
affairs when the military must superyene.
Inter Anna Leges Silent The next step is
despotism.

AN UNWORTHY TRICK.

The discussion which an apparent acct.
dent brought on in the Senate on Saturday
was upon point of the very greatest posi-
bic importance TO the financial interests Of
this country. An every day sort of bill
came up on its passage TO CIRCULATE procedure
in sales of property under order and de-
crees of United States courts. when it was
pointed out that an amendment had in
some unexplained way got tackled on proyid-
ing that when such sales take place the pur-
chaser may pay the purchase price in any
money that is legal tender OF the United
States. But the contract 10 enforce which
the judgment or decree had been rendered.
might have been one by which the debtor
stipulated 10 pay gold coin and this act. if
passed. would therefore have DESTROYED the
gold character of the contract and have
made it payable in silver dollars. The thing
was plain, palpsble and most discreditable
trick. which was discovered by Mr.. sher-
man. who pointed out the vast consequences
involved in the bill. There was shereupou
sharp silver debate and the BIZ was laid
over.
Whether Congress has the power under
the Constitution TO pass such an act az this.
or whether it has not, is of course n cues
ton that will never be solved until il does
pass it. and the Supreme Court decides that
1t is valid act or an invalid act. Opinions
of competent men differ very widely upon
the point. We all recollect the wild dis
cusslon caused by Dir. Dooley's letter in
which he maintained that Congress had the
power. But whether it had the power or
whether it had not. there can be no cues
ton. in the opinion Of THE TINES, that Con-
gress ought not to pass il. When a man.
upon sufficient consideration. has under
taken to do one, thing, legislative power
may come IN and arbitrarily relieve him
from the obligations that he has deliberately
assumed upon his doing another thing,

TO MAJOR GENERAL JANIS C. FIELD.


We know Major James g. Field will par
don us for ignoring his pseudo title of Gen
eral" and for giving him his true military title
of Major" For, though he was only a
quartermaster in the Confederate army. and
not a soldier of the line at all. he was never
theless genuine Major" in that depart
ment, and he has the right TO the title which
was part of his place. 1t is not mentioned
as being dscreditable to you, Major, that
you we're only Quartermaster during the
actual clash of arms. but it is nevertheless
fact, and ii is we'll, when matters of this sort
are up for review. that the facts should be
stated Just as they are. The Confederate
brigadier" was one thing. the Confederate
quartermsster was quite another, and there
is no propriety, now that the contest is over
and done with in our confusing and con-
founding the two.
Major Field has had an interview with
reporter in which, amongst other things. he
says that he and General" Weaver will
both speak in Richmond in September in
the interest of the Third party.
NOW, uhgOli We want 10 huNlbo you 70
cancel this engagement on the spot.
Whilst You were Attorney General Of the
State you resided in Richmond and made
many acqusintances here. The people
then saw no harm in you and they came 10
be kindly disposed towards YOU. Their
kindly feelings towards you have not even
been destroyed by your permitting yourself
to be advertised before the world as Con
federate bTigadier" when you know Of
course that you never were Con
federate brigadier," and could by no
possibility have ever become one while you
remained in the Quartermaster depart
ment We mean. of course. the fighting
Confederate bIigadier." who is the fellow
that made the title one that oil who gained
it are very proud Of and that many who
never deserved it would like to he called by.
We do not mean TO charge you with having
circulated the notion that you were a Con
federste brigadier" but that notion has
gone out 10 the world and We have seen
nothing whatever from you TO warn the
world that it was being mislsd, and. in can
dor, we think you should have done
something in this line.

THE remarkable accident by which the
yacht Alva. the property OF W. X. Wander
bilt. was partially sunk off the Nantucket
shore on Sunday morning shows to what
terrible casualties all vessels are exposed in
heavy fogs in the seas along the New Eng
land coast. which are the tracks of thou
sands of vessels Of every kind. For many
years the ingenuity of inventors has been
employed in the search for some effective
means of revealing TO a passing ship the
presence of another ship in a heavy fog, but
so far every effort in this direction has
proved as abortive as the attempt TO nsyi-
gate the air with ease and in safety. Mr..
Vanderbilt came very near to meeting
the fate of the late Harrison Gar
rett, of Baltimore, who was run down
in the Chesapeake under similar circum-
stances and persisted before any assistance
could reach him. although his companions
escaped death almost by a miracle. Magni-
foent as are the yachts of the great North
ern millionaires. their navigation seems to
be attended with rather more danger than
the average sea-going vessel. because the
latter proceeds generally directly on its
courseand probably exercises more prudence
and caution in its management.

seems peculiarly appropriate that this dis

diversified industries, which would be
among the first 10 DO affected either
iniuuously or benefcially by a modif-
cation OF the Mckinley law. The dis
cussion in PHILADELPHIA should be initiated
by prominent leaders of the two parties in
every great city at the North. 1t should be
extended ITO every town and township. to
every centre Of workingmen and especially
70 every community where there is what is

assured will be the victory Of the Democratic
party in November.
