The Danger snowden Points Out.

Inc 0dOW001 LOAhSo O4Ss
Since his return home In Philadelphia
from Homestead Gen. Snowden, the COM
mauder Of the National Guard Of Pennsyl-
yania has expressed some rather startling
views relauve to the condition Of affairs In
the mining and manufacturing section OF
Pennsylvania. According to his views It Is
not generally understood how bitterly
hostile to the employers the striking work
men are He says that the authorities Of the
state will eventually have to join battle
with anarchy and socialism. He does not
draw this opinion from what is on the sur
face, but from what Is under IL. He had a
chance at Homestead TO find out the temper
OF the strikers and their sentiments and,
therefore, speaks advisedly.
II bis statement that a very large portion
OF the workmsn are leaning toward anarchy,
1t may not be long, as he says. before there
will be conflict between organized society
and those who would destroy society.
10 is reported that quiet prevails at
Homestead now, but IL Is not the sort Of
quiet that is enjoyed by a peaceful and
law-abiding community. 1t is quiet that
Is maintained by the armed force Of the
bthto, Let bnhJ IOfC6 Do WlLnQrdWn ana IL
would be difficult for non-union man to
remain at Homestead. Even now the nom
union men are set upon aud beaten whom
ever they are caught outside Of the fence
which iucloses the Homestead mills.
Some of the striking workmen have re-
entered the employment of the Carnegie
company. but they don't find their position
a pleasant one. They are assaulted with
threatening letters and told that they and
their families will be taken care of II they
will leave the mills, but that they will be
killed IL they remain. This sort Of letters
naturally has a depressing effect upon the
men.
1t is to be hoped that Gea. Snowden is
wrong in his belief that q battle between
the authorities and workingmen will occur
at no very distant day. There have been
much worse strikes than this one at Home
stead which have been settled peaceably.
1t must be admitted, however, that in none
Of them was there observable any marked
tendency toward socialism and anarchy.

Carlisle's Tariff Speech.

The speech OF Senator Carlisle last week,
In response 80 the resolution Of Senator
Hale, is meeting with extremely favorable
comments in all parts Of the oouBtry. The
speech was, in a measure, a reply TO one
delivered day or two previously In de-
tense of the Mckinley tariff by Senator
AIdrich, who failed 10 make a thoroughly
frssk speech. BY some, Mr.. Aldrich's
speech has been characterized as a petit
Jogging effort. Senator Carlisls's speech,
however, was so candid that the leading re-
publican senator, Mr.. Sherman, said it was
"a frank and fair argument"
One Of the statements that Senator Aldrich
made, was that there had been an increase
in wages under the Mckinley act of 76-100
of l per cent Mr.. Carlisle admitted this
was true, but asserted that more than half
Of the increase had been in the unprotected
industries. MIR. Aldrich had lacked the
frAnkness to call attention 20 the fact that
the Mckinley act had not caused the greater
part Of the increase. He left 1t to be in
fsrred that TO that act the entire increase
was due.
Another statement that Mr.. Aldrich made
since the Mckinley act went into effect.
Mr., Carlisle admitted this, but asserted
that the tendency for some years past, owing
to improved facilities, had been in the di-
rection of lower prices, and that IL it had
not been for the Mckinley tariff there
would have been much greater decrease.
Mr.. Carlisle said he had "never been able
to appreciate the proposition that people can
be made happy and prosperous by taxation.
whether 1t be to defrsy extravaganza ex-
penses on the part OF the government or
TO increase the prices which people pay for
what they eat, drink and wear" In this
connection Mr.. Carlisle declared that the
prices OF commodities in this country had
been enormously increased by the Mckinley
act and the agitation which preceded IL,
and that the cost of living had been in
creased more than S2S5, 100000 since
that act went into effect.
Mr.. Carlisle declared that II high prices
made people prosperous then steam and
electricity ought to be abandoned, and that
the world ought to go back 60 dirt roads aud
stage coaches, to the primitive methods OF
production and distribution; but If low
prices helped the people to live better aud
to become prosperous and happy, then
everything shat hindered decline
in prices should be swept aside.
There is no question that the Nc
Kinley tariff has a strong tendency
TO keep up the prices Of nearly everything
the people need except farm products Sen
ator Carlisle's speech ought to be distrib-
utsd throughout the country as campaign
document

Trying to Oaptura Platt

In political circles considerable interest is
manifested in the Presidents effort to capt.
ure Mr.. Platt, the republican boss of New
York. The President has been told by his
advisers that be has not much change of
carrying New York unless he has the as
sistance of Mr.. Plat, and he is en-
deavoring to gain the good will OF that
potent individual. 1t is understood that he
has agreed to let Mr.. Platt dictate the ap-
pointments to federal offices In New York,
ana is willing to be guided by him in the
management Of the campaign In New York,
provided Mr.. Plat will help carry the state
for him.
II is not yet known whsther Mr.. Plat
has accepted the terms offered him. He
was strongly opposed to renominatipg the
President, and did all he could at Minneap-
oils to prevent his denomination. He de-
clared that the President represented only
the office holders, and that II he got a re-
nomination it would be given him by Office
holding delegates.
Mr.. Platt returned TO New York from
Minneapolis a greatly disappointed man,
and it was understood that be would take
no part In the -cAmpaign. He has been sulk-
ing, and 1t has looked as IL the Pres
ident would have to get along without his
assistance. Fhe President is quite shrewd
politician, however, and he understands
that Mr.. Platt likes SO well to be the di.-
tributor OF the federal patronage that it is
not improbable that he can be induced, by
the promise Of being restored TO his old po-
sition of ''boss," to enter heartily into the
campaign.
1t is not known yet whether or not he
will accept the overtures made TO him by
the President, but the chances are that he
will. 1t is safe to say that he will take what
the President offers and become the Presi-
dents right hand man in New York during
the campaign. II this should be the out
come of the negotiations which have been
going on for some time, Mr.. Platt will not
feel very kindly toward those who may rush
into print and mention all the unpleasant
things he has said about the President. MIR.
Platt is not too big man to forget snub
from the President, provided the latter comes
to Mr.. Platt's terms with respect to the
patronage.

A Harrison story.

Out in the blue grass country, says the Colo
rado Sun, they are telling the following ro-
mantle story about William Henry Harrison
grandfather Of the present OCCUPANT Of the
white house. When he was only 20 years of
age he wooed Miss Monarchy Fenwick a be-
witching maiden Of Frankfort, Ky, but did not
meet with favor. Upon parting with the girl
he placed ring on her finger. saying: Mon
archy, when l am President OF the United
States send this ring TO me with any request
you may have to make and will Srant what
ever you ask if it is in my power. Smiling at
the Jest, so the story goes, she took the valuable
circlet and placed it among the treasures When
she ne 1t saw her old admirer she was the wife
of Judge Samuel Todd. wealthy and promi-
nent citizen, and bad become q faroux house
keeper OF wide hospitality. He had b en- elected
President of the United States and was then en-
route via Frankfort TO his inaugural ceremo-
MES. AT the Kentucky capital he accepted her
invitation to dine. The presidential suite com
prised twelve persons, some in carriages, others
on horseback. The ring was not presented
according to fai y tale usage, but was retained
as an hoir-loom, 1t is now owned by Mrs.
Mary L. Todd, Monarchy FeAwick's daughter.

There is popular belief that a presi-
Dental election is an incubus upon bust
ness, and that during presidential years"
all lines Of trade suffer to greater or less
extent. The idea is that spirited political
campaigns divert attention from trade and
agriculture, causing them to be, in a meas
ure, neglected during the eime that the
canvass is at its hight. But 50 eminent an
authority as Mr.. Francis B. Thurber the
widely known Wholesale grocer of New
York, says that presidential elections do rot
affect trade 30 much as is generally sup
posed. Taking the operations Of the New
York clearing house as a reliable indicator
of the state Of business throughout the
United States, be shows by statistics that
since 1879 the cleArances have been almost
invariably greater during presidential years
than in the 'of" years Immediately pre-
ceding them, and ia some instances greater
than of the succeeding "onf" years. For
instance, in the presidential year Of 1884
the exchanges were So, O0O, OOo, 900 more than
10 1885. Summing up all the figures aud
facts he presents, Mr.. Thurber says, in an
article in the North american Reuielc,
that while a presidential election has some
influence upon some kinds OF business, there
are other Influences far more controlling In
their nature.n

Records are very annoying things to
some politicians. For instance, Col. Peek,
the third party candidate for governor of
this state, is the unfortunate possessor Of a
record, made while be was member Of
the general assembly. This record the
Athens Banner has been looking over and
finds that it shows that Col. Peek, who now
asks tAe suffrages of the people on plat-
form demanding government ownership Of
railroads, once made a speech some two
hours long advocating the sale OF the West
ern aud Atlantic road, the property of the
state, on the ground that a sovereignty had
no right TO operate such an enterprise and
that railroads should be in the hands Of
private corporations. This is a matter that
Col. Peek will have to explain away or
stand convicted out Of his own mouth of
trimming his sails merely to catch the pop
ular wiud. And, II may be remarked, a
two hours speech lie not such an easy thing
to explain away.

1t is alleged that ever since President
Harrison sent his message to congress ask
ing for power to retsliate upon Canadian
vessels passing through the ST. Mery's falls
canal for Determinations by Canada against
American vessels passing through Canadian
canals, the vessel owners of tho dominion
have been busy devisisg schemes 70 circum-
vent such retaliation. And it is further
said that they have hit upon q plau. upon
which engineers are now at work, which, il
carried cut, will put all lake shipping at the
mercy and disposal Of Canadian ship owners.
The scheme is nothing more nor less than
the cutting Of big channel connecting Lake
Ontario with Gregorian bay on Lake Huron
the effect of this, according to Toronto
correspondent would be that "the water In
Gregorian bay would be lowered from so to
20 feet, so it is claimed, by draining it
through channel to Lake Ontario. The
result would be that the Detroit river would
be left practically unnavigable, a part of
Lake Erie would be drained, and much of
the water cut of from Niagara Fails. The
American falls, it is contended, would be
left nearly dry. This would give entire con-
bSA "a VIC Anluuu WoecE WSJ 1ubO Luo uduOS
of the Canadians" 1t is claimed by the en-
gineers at work on the plan that the drain
ng could be done in six months. The
scheme may be feasible, from physical
point Of view, and the story has buncombe
enough in It to please United States haters
in Canada. But the scheme is "only on
paper as yet" aud there IL will stay. There
is not the remotest possibility Of the Cana
dian government oountenancing any such
project.
