A GOOD deal of excitement was caused
last week by the severe and summary pun
ishment of private in the Pennsylvania
National Guards, named Iams, for giving
three cheers for the would be assassin of
Mr.. Frick. The Colonel of the regiment
had Iams tried by summary court, which
sentenced him to be tied up by the thumbs
and then drummed out of camp, whereupon
all the namby- pamby milk-and-water fell
lows joined with the Anarchists in howl
Of horror. It is not to be expected that
these men could comprehend the circum-
stances which justified this extreme punish
ment, and that more merciful procedure,
which would be entirely proper in mere
camp Of instruction, would be entirely I'M
suited to the semi-warlike condition whic b
existed at Homestead. The troops were in
some respects in the presence of the enemy,
the town was virtually under martial-law,
and the strictest discipline had to be main
tanned to preserve order and prevent an out
break of trouble To have man wearing
the uniform of the State and representing
its laws and dignity give three cheers for
brutal assassin when the place was throbbing
with excitement over the deed was intoler-
able and justified the severest measures.

WHERE Is CLEvELANDY

II is an ominous circumstance that no
letter written by Stephen G.. Cleveland
from Gray Gables has appeared for sew
eral days. There is reason for believing
that Mr.. Cleveland may have committed
suicide by drowning or has been the
victim of sad accident.
A dispatch Of the Associated Press
printed in the News last evening made
an announcement which is, when care
fully read, of the most startling signifi-
canoe. We reproduce nearly the entire
dispatch:
LAKE GEORGE, Aug. 29-The body Of
nj unknown man was found In the lake
day or s. ago. The man registered at the
hotel under the name of III. A; Miner.
New Haven, Conn., lie paid his bill he
evening before he disappeared. The po-
lice of New Haven can find no one there
who knows ii. A. Miner.
In his pockets were found 50 30, clip
pings of Henry Ward Beecher's sermons
and. time tables OF railroads of Northern
marked cleveland" His handkerchief
was marked IS. c." The inquest result
ed in verdict of accidental drowning.
Many of the clues here presented
point very straight at the buzzard of
Growers Bay. The clothing marked
Cleveland" is direct clue. Henry
Ward Beecher's sermons would natur-
ally be found, if anywhere. in the pock
cts of man whom Mr.. Beecher helped
to elect President in 1884. The initials
IS. c." were Stephens own before he
began to "put on side" and forgot his
own name. The time tables may have
indicated wish to escape to his beloved
Great Britain by way of Canada. Three
dollars and fifty cents may seem small
sum with which to start for foreign
tour but free traders say, and Cleveland
may have actually believed, that money
will go so much farther over there ]"
that it was unnecessary to take more.
1t is conceivable that Mr.. Cleveland
sought to commit suicide as the easiest
way of escape from an inevitable de-
feat, but we do not believe this. Mr..
Cleveland is genuine Bourbon, and
never learns or forgets. He probably
didn't believe himself beaten. 1t is
more likely that he started for Great
Britain by an unfamiliar route to avoid
observation, and that he was lured by
the beauty of Lake Horizon to stop
awhile and fish. Yielding to the temp
tatien, it is easy to understand that his
weight may have proved too much for
the light sliff he used.
LATER-Mr. Cleveland is reported all
right at Gray Gables. 1t must have
been some one else.

"bUzzARD'S BAY.D

An Idyl of Adiposity by an Unknown
Poet.
The Mugwump wrings the wrinkles from his
hair,
The loon bird calls throughout the long DARK
night,
The wise owl futters from her free trade lair.
The grounding blinks and battens In the

The small boy reverently flies his kite,
No ribald winds dare thither idly stray;
The solemn 1sh think twice before they bite
On the consecrated shores Of Buzzard's bayl
The Yarmouth bloater bloats; the erudite
Read cyclopedias and load for bear;
The poet maunders up wordy height
And fires feeling sonnet at the air;
Blood bothered ghosts of Force bills lurk and
scare
The curious pumpkins till they fee away;
The sage seeks out secluded nests-de mare
The Fat Man in the Moon with envious glare
Sees the Fat Man OF Earth and In despite
Groans for more fatness; dodos nest and pair
And with their large, smooth bills the land
scapc smite;
Irish potatoes find their jackets tight
And swell and bust 'em; there's the deuce to

Before the campaigns really open quito
On the consecrated shores Of Buzzard's bay.

Even the wild waves don't care what they

Two Important Facts.

The people should grasp firmly the
two facts:
First-This is something more than
presidential election. AS the presidency
goes, so the chances ore will go congress,
and with congress the supreme court by
reorganization.
Second - Not since the winter of
1901 have the Democrats been in pos
session of the government. They lost
IL through secession and never since
have passed n national law, and they
nevermore should be trusted with the
lawmaking capacity. Especially should
they be distrusted, condemned and de-
fcatcd when they dwell as they arc do
ing on the questions Of commanding in
dustrial interest, In clouds and darkness.

What It Has Come To.

The Democratic campaign of educa-
ton has come to this: The American la
borer is to be placed on the same footing
with the European or the Asiatic laborer,
and the one who can produce goods
at the lowest cost will hold the Ameri-
can market. Is it possible that Ameri-
can laborers either in the protected or
so called unprotected industries will vote
party into power which openly pro-
poses to reduce American wages to the
lowest Old World standard?-San Fran.

The latest explanation offered Of the
Sun World quarrel is interesting. When
the Sun came into the Cleveland fold it
expected, it is said. to have its past
wanderings forgiven. But instead OF
making up with his Uncle Charlie,
Grover permitted the World to quote
him as having named Pulitzer's sheet as
the great National Democratic paper of
the country. Grover hates the Sun
with all the momentum of his
many pounds, he saw his chance
to get even and he got; hence these
tears. When the national committee
took up with the Worlds sensational
fad of a Western corruption fund,
Dana's cup of bitterness overfowed. If
he couldn't be the national organ of the
party he could at least show up the
organ and so he started in on wild and
reckless career of truth-telling. He has
struck the World a blow that has shaken
it to its foundations, and incidentally he
has damaged somewhat seriously the
cause of Mr.. Stephen G.. Cleveland.
II is intimated that it was the spit
ting and the sputtering of the Suns cat
that sent Brice and Dickinson post haste
last Saturday to Gray Gables. They
bore a message from the New York
managers that il was before all things
necessary to "poor" that pussy and to
placate the angry animal. Whether it
is possible for Cleveland first to ac-
knowledge that he was wrong to refuse
to meet the overtures of so powerful a
paper, and, second, in case he should so
acknowledge, to undo the harm he has
done, are important questions.
As things now stand, the World has
opened its batteries on the Suns idol,
Dave Hill; the S,tn has proved Growers
personal organ, the World, a cheat and
a sham; the rank and file of Tammany
are getting more and more incensed
and reader to take up Hills cudgels,
the anti-snappers are getting more and
more disgusted with both disputants
and going into corners to sulk and the
interests Of disunion are being very
completely served.
Something has got to be done and
that pretty quick unless New York is to
be hopelessly Republican.

Because in the conflict Of economic
policies on which the campaign hinges
he stands for American ideas, theories
and principles as against foreign ones.
Mr.. Cleveland is the candidate of n
school Of economists who draw oil their
inspiration from Great Britain. Mr..
Harrison, on the other hand, Ia the cam
didate Of the party which rejects tho
teachings Of that school as hostile to our
best interests. Protection is the only
policy under which we can prosper. It
has made this republic the greatest ma
ton In the world. Four years of free
trade would set 1t back century. Bar

"An Appetite for spoiIs."

After q careful and attentive study of
these things our young American voter
could only come to one conclusion-that
the Democratic party Of today in its
desperate grasping after power is actu-
ated by a single, overmastering passion
An appetite for spoils. How it would
use these the country has just been given
a startling object lesson in the unparal-
leled extravaganza of the recent session
of congress. If it needed any further
evidence it would only need to study the
financial operations of the Democratic

Some Unpalatable Facts for tho Bemo-
Gratis to Digest.
No trust has been formed for regulat-
ing the price Of gloves. There Is unre-
stricted competition among the manu-
facturers. The increased duties have
displaced q large portion Of the impor-
tation, have greatly expanded the
volume Of domestic manufacture and
have enabled American glovemakers to
compete with foreigners in nearly all
lines of gloves. The operatives in the
factories and the farmers families who
finish gloves in their own homes have .
fair share in the benefits of the increased
duties. Their earnings are greater than
in 1890, the rates for piecework have
been increased, the introduction of
higher grades of work has involved pro-
motions in mills and marked addition
in wages, employment has been constant
from the beginning to the end of the
year and work has been povided for
new classes Of workmen recruited from
farming community. There is hardly
an operative to be found in the indus
trial center whence q product Of $10,-
00e, 900 Is sent to market who Is not re-
ceiving more money week by week than
he was earning before the passage Of
the act. His gain Is not the consumers
loss. Not u single line of gloves manu-
factured in Gloversville and Johnstown
has advanced in price. The reverse is
true. The reduction in cost will aver
age o per cent, and in many lines of
cheaper goods 1t Is much greater.
Ex-Governor Campbell, when he was
in Rhode Island last spring ON the same
platform with Mr.. Cleveland, declared
in his shrillest treble that not one work
ingman among the millions in America
had had his wages raised in consequence
Of the passage Of the Mckinley act. #
he will 90 to Gloversville he will never
repeat that cheap campaign fiction, nor
will any of the low tariff advocates,
after an exhaustive investigation of
wages in the glove trade, follow Senator
Carlisle in his argument that while
wages have increased in two years III
all the unprotected industries of the
country they have fallen in protected
industries. The glove industry, as a
whole, offers a conspicuous illustration
Of the operation Of the Mckinley act in
all essential respects. Wages have been
increased, prices have been reduced, for
eign importations have been displaced,
work has been given TO Americans in
preference to Europeans, higher grades
of manufacture have been introduced,
ard a great impulse has been impaired
to an industry eminently adapted for
farming communicative York Trib-

STEVENSON LIES.

We challenge the (dis) Honorable
Adlai f. Stevenson, ex.Knight of
the Golden Circle, copperhead and SYM
pathizer with secession, with misrepre-
sentng the facts of history in his
Bloomington speech again and again,
and most especially in the following ex-
tract:
The decade and a half extending from
the passage of the low tariff law Of 1916
to the beginning OF our civil war, has
been truly called the golden period of our
history. The cost of the necessaries of
life had reached the minimum, and at no
time in our history was it easier for the
wage-earner to support his family. The
farmer, the mechanic, the day laborer
alike realized the benefit of low taxation.
A benefit why? simply for the reason that
IL lessened the cost OF food, of clothing, OF
every article that conduced To his COM
fort. Our manufactures did rot Ian
furnaces. The wheels and spindles were
not idle in our great hives Of industry.
The demand for labor was not lessened.
nor was its value deprecated.
For such lies as these there is no ex-
cuse. Stevenson himself is old enough
to know them to be lies. Thousands of
men yet living, in all parts of the coun-
try, remember the facts. Dozens, If not
hundreds. yet living in PROVIDENCE re-
member the years after the low tariff of
1s46 as nightmare of popular misery
right in this city. There were public
souphouses then in PROVIDENCE for the
starving poor. Good masons worked all
day at cleaning bricks after a fire, for
rs cents day, and good carpenters,
hired at the same princely wages, put
up the standing trim of some of the new
houses in the older parts of the "West
Side" Other cities in the East passed
through the same period of suffering.
This was considerably mitigated in the
early fifties by the feverish excitement
and speculation caused by the gold
fever, but real prosperity on a solid
basis the country did not know again
until the Republican tariff gave life
and healing to wounded industry.
We defy Stevenson-we defy any
Democratic prove that in 1867 the cost
of the necessaries of life had reached
their minimum. It is simply a lie-for
an innocent mistake il cannot possibly
| be in man Of Mr.. .Stevenson's experience.
| We defy anyone TO point to single
necessary of life, except rent, of any inn
portance, that has not greatly decreased
in price since then. We defy him to
point to one common trade or occupa-
tion whose wages have not greatly in
| creased.
There was never time when the cost
of living was so low and when the
wages Of labor were so high, as in this
year of our Lord 1892, Harrison being
President of these United States and
William Mckinley, Jr., the Governor
of Ohio.
We have not the space, nor is il nec-
essary, to refute the lies of Stevenson.
But our manufactures did languish.
The fires did go out in our furnaces.
Wheels and spindles were idle. The
demand for labor was lessened. Its
value was deprecated. f
