DEMOCRATS STILL DAZED
ALARMED AT THE AGITATION
OVER THAT PECK REPORT.
All Their Anti-McKinley Bill
Arguments Have Gone TO Smash
with the Commissioners Ex-
pIOit Of Increases I'm Wages.
NEW YORK, Sept.

New York, Sept. 7.
Democrats at the national COM
mittee headquarters are still in a
quandry over the report so damag-
ing to Democratic campaign argu-
ments that come from Democratic
Labor Commissioner Peck, of the
Empire state.
1t was agreed by the men employ
ed at the rooms of the campaign
committe to-day that the state com.
mittee should grapple with Peck's
embarrassing statements. 1t was
granted that it was blow and would
materially affect the result in New
York if the election was held within
the next few days but when the re-
port has been thoroughly tested by
statisticians and men familiar with
the various branches of industry
with which it deals they thought it
would be found to consist in the
main of highly colored statements
made by manufacturers who are
benefited by the Mckinley bill, and
who will go to any extremes to
bolster 1t up.
NERVE SHATTERED DEMOCRATS.
The increase in the grand output
of the factories of the state is said
to be the natural result of an in
creased population, and the conse-
quent greater demand. Then, again,
1t is claimed by the nerve shat.
tered Democrats that any summary
made from report which admitted
ly includes but IS per cent. OF the
states industries must of itself be
imperfect, misleading and totally
unreliable. Peck's report, they said,
nervously, was likened to a similar
one made to congress, which was
said to have been proven inaccurate
when submitted TO the crucial test
Of a commercial examination.
AS to what should be done to
Peck TO bring him to realizing
sense OF his wickedness, there was
but one opinion, and that was that
lac had forfeited bis right TO claim
room under the Democratic um.
brella, and that hereafter he should
DO classed with the common enemy,
REPUBLICANS DELIGHTED,
In Republican circles the Peck
report Is hailed with delight. 1t is
regarded as big step toward
victory, even when its accompany.

Pecls,s Report Will stand.

The combination that was knock
ed out by the report of Labor Com
missioner Peck, OF New York, hav-
ing failed to make that official give
up the correspondence on which his
report was based, has now determin-
ed to drag the commissioner himself
into court. Upon an order granted
on Saturday to Il. Ellery Anderson,
the New York mugwump and free
trader, and Norton Chase, Ander-
sons attorney, the commissioner Is
directed to appear before the Su-
preme Court of New York on Sep
tember 12, and show cause why he
should not be made to surrender the
correspondence in question. This
action was taken with a grand
flourish of trumpets, as if to inform
the world that the free-traders still
had card or two up their sleeves,
and the widest publicity has been
given to it's every detail. The pro-
ceedings grow ostensibly out of the
refusal of some of Mr.. Peck's sub
ordidates to bow low enough before
Mr.. Anderson's august person when
he went to Albany to secure pos
session of the correspondence in
question.
In an interview published yester-
day Mr.. Peck gives some reasons
why he should not surrender the
papers to every Tom, Dick and
Harry who might take a notion to
review them. lie shows that most
of the letters were Of confidential
nature and were written on the un-
derstanding that they were not to
be printed. 1t was expressly stipu-
lated that the names of the writers
should not be made public, as the
free trade people have a very effect
i've way Of getting even with those
business men who oppose their
favorlte plans. Upon this under
standing the manufacturers gave
Mr.. Peck the desired information.
1t was, by reason of its very nature,
information which Mr.. Anderson
was not entitled to have. The
State as represented by the Labor
Commissioner, could ask for and no
doubt force men to give it, but no
private citizen had that right. The
State could also lay the results OF
that information before the people
in accordance with the spirit of the
law authorizing their collection, but
beyond this it was in decency not
warranted to 60 unless it proposed
to destroy the sanctity of private
business and shatter all confidence
in the States pledge.
The presumption is that Mr..
Peck told the truth. He was there
for that purpose and he was there
by virtue Of u Democratic appoint
ment. Eor eight years his figures
aud conclusions gave considerable
satisfaction to the very men who
are abusing him now. The courts
can, of course, compel him to sur.
render the documents, and they will,
no doubt, do so, but whatever
verdict is now cooked up to Offset
the force of bis revelations will have
no effect upon the public mind.
The simple truth is that one of the
ablest statisticians on the Demo-
cratic side of the house has shown
the utter falsity of his party's GALA
nifty cry, and that showing will
stand as the correct report because
it is in harmony with what is ap-
parent to every citizen.

sNew Work for the w. +. G. A.

''Ncw Work for the w. Il. G. A."
The founders OF our Government
in welcoming people from every
land did not suppose for a moment
that they were preparing the way
for the coming of outlaws, murder
ers and wicked adventurers, or for
other countries sending to us the
inmates of their prisons, asylums
and hospitals. They did not intend
to prepare dumping-ground for
the dregs Of European and other
nations. Their object WAS TO give
an opportunity to honest, industrious
and capable people of all countries,
who would be obedient to the laws
and deport themselves as American
citizens. to make homes here, ac-
quire competency, educate their
children according to our methods,
and to all intents and purposes make
themselves one with us. 1t was ex-
pected that however widely apart
those who would come hither had
been born, they would at once here
with ourselves make one nationality.
But this permission and these
privileges and opportunities have
been terribly abused. While in
times past the excellent of the earth
came hither, as still do many of
them, Of late years we have been re.
ceiving tens of thousands of the
most undesirable and dangerous
people from all parts of the earth.
Some Of them crowd our hospitals,
reformatories and prisons, and
others denounce our laws, seek the
destruction of our Sabbaths, and de-
mand the most unbridled license.
To such a length has this state of
affairs gone that thinking men of all
political parties are coming to the
conclusion that our immigration
laws must be made more restrictive
and be more effectively executed.
In the meantime while this is under
consideration, it is evident that
something ought to be done at once
that at least the children of the OBJ
jectionable part of the foreign popu.
lation now in the United States
may be educated and trained for
American citizenship. We are glad
this subject is receiving the atten-
tion OF Woman's Christian Temper
ance Alliance. The August number of
The White Ribbon has the follow
ing editorial, which is a beginning
in the right direction, and should be
quickly followed by decisive action :
pittsburgh has, for so many
weeks, been storm centre,' in the
conflict between capital and labor,
that with the echoing tread of armed
men, the sound of musketry and
cannon, the click of the assassin S
revolver, and the glitter of cold
steal, all thinking people are brought
face to face with the fact that Ameri-
ca is the home of men of all nations,
of all creeds, and of no creed, of
loyal citizens and of Anarchists.
With the teeming crowds of foreign
ers who fill the coke regions OF
Western Pennsylvania, and swarm
in all her town and cities unused to
the freedom of our land and better
accustomed to the power of a stand
ing army, we are brought face to
face with the question: What will
be the result if these foreigners are
not compelled to send their children
to school, where they can at least
learn to speak, read and write the
English language, before they make
laws that govern this country

A rnANkLEss OFFICE.

It is not surprising that the average good
citizen resorts to all lawful excuses to escape
from Grand Jury duty. At best it is
thaukless Office. The Grand Jury is re-
qared to take the Initiative in ferreting out
crime. Is has to search for criminals among
men OF influence wealth and apparent good
standing. 1t has to find its evidence in
sources that trained intelligence has done its
best 70 cover up. Often it has to proceed
en- suspicion. II it fails, the men against
whom evidence has been sought become
active enemies Of individual juryInen. Ii il
succeeds, an ignorant or corrupt trial Judge
or a packed jury neutralizes its efforts to
bring criminals TO justice. III it proceeds
cautiously people will say it is afraid; if it
mdicts on less evidence than will convict,
the same people will say that it was rash.
The least OF the duties Of a San Francisco
Grand Jury is TO present common criminals
for trial. If a man is caught breaking into
a strange house in the night be expects 10
be indicted. If a man kills fell0W-Oeing,
if he robs an individual. If he FORCES name,
or commits any other common crime, he I'M
derstands that a Trial follows detection.
But if the head of a powerful corporation
brides the laW-makjnE power Of the city or
State, he does not expect to be brought to
trial He resents any attempt at an inyesti-
CATION of his methods. So If an aspirant for
office purchases votes he does not expect to
be called 10 account for it. He resents the
actions Of a Grand Jury that presumes to
question his right to get Office as he pleases.
The pe0pleO of this city have seen one Grand
Jury dlsbanded because it manifested a
disposition to 90 out Of the rut 10 search OF
criminals. II the jury had been a common
place one, Interested only in bringing bur
glars, fO0tpads and common thieves to jus
lice. it would, without doubt have been al
lowed to pass into history as a legal Grand
Jury. But IL manifested a disposition to
search for people whose wealth and pOliti-
cal power place them, in their estimation,
above the law a Grand Jury to be in any
way eminentIY useful must be composed of
men ablg and willing to make a sacrifice Of
personal Interests for the good Of the cOun-
try. The service is not unlike, in its penal
ties and sacrifices the service a soldier rem
ders Oh the field Of battle. The soldier goes
TO the front from a sense Of duty, and per
forms his duty with death staring him in the
face. Il remains 10 be seen how many of
the thirty men now exposed to Grand Jury

world as quickly after the event as the resi-
dent Of London. or Paris. We have more Of
the comforts and luXuries of life than any
other people on this green earth. We are
better off ut the circumference than are those
who live at the ceater We have had many
fine organizations of visitors from whom
great things were expected. When the
Knights Templar visited us We expected
half the Eastern people to rush for CalifOr-
MIA. The same expectation was entertained
when the Grand Army came TO see US, and
again when the National Educational AsSO-
citation crossed the continent to deliberate
within sight of the Pacific. These Organiza-
tons have, doubtless, Contributed to the small
store Of knowledge Eastern people have of
our State, but the tide of emigration has yet
TO sci in this way. Perhaps it might be we'll
now TO take the other tack, and give con-
ventions and orders to understand that we
do not care whether they come or not. We
have heretofore eyinced an eagerness to
welcome strangers that may have seemed
to them provincial. light it not be
well to give people on the other side to I'M
derstand that while we are q fairly liberal
host we 90 not seek unwilling guests-tbat
we think that the benefit lies quite as much
with the visitor as with the visited?

ON THE EDGE.

II is now admitted that san Francisco has
no chance or getting the Democratic Ma
tional Convention. There is disposition to
attribute the lack of success 20 tie commit
tee appointed to urge San FrancIsco's claims
before the National Committee, but it may
be as well to admit, now the convention is
lost, that we never had chance to win it.
1t is no further from San Francisco to Chi
cagO than from Chicago to San Francisco,
but il is not miles that count in this case so
much as the number Of people who travel
them. California will send perhaps a hun
dred men to The National Convention in an
Eastern city, but ii the convention were
held iu this city the numbers to make the
journey would reach into the tens OF thou
sands. OF course San Francisco would like
to have the tens Of thousands cross the con-
tinent to pay us a visit, but we can hardly
claim the visit as a right IL our city had
a million people and cur State three mill
ions, we should still be on tie least popu-
lous edge Of the continent 1t does not fol-
low that ne are on the ragged edge. Life
here flows as smoothly and serenely as in
any part Of the world. Paris, London and
New York are not looking at US so much as
we are at them, but the indispOsition of the
people OF those cities to take us under con-
sideratlon does not greatly disturb us. We
know what is taking place in all parts of the
