A Queer Plsoe 70 Oarrv Monev.

President Brockway OF the Blaine Club Is tell
ing a good one on himself. When he accompa.
MED the boys up to Minneapolis he took along
$500 for expenses says the Chicago Tribune.
After getting there the idea occurred to him
that he would do well 10 take precRution against
pickpoekets, and he began casting about his
person for a depository that would be most
likely TO thwart the vigilance OF all nimble fin
gers that might select him as their victim
After considerable turmoil Of brain one of 81 Q

developed itself It came as the result OF a
certain grave misfortune, which years ago de
prlved him of one Of his legs and compelled him
TO wear an artificial suo destitute. The substitute

wooden lez' just the place for it-safest in the

That night he acted on his happy thought.
just before jumping into bed he took off the
wooden leg, stuffed his bunch OF money into it,
then tossed the gay deceiver under the bed and
slept the sleep OF the secure Next morning he
took from the leg only what money he thought
he would need 70 carry him through the day,
then screwed on the Lex aud went ''whooping it

After the convention was over and he was
back In Chicago he began figuring up his Min.

himaelf $S4 short. OF all the business men in
the country few pride themselves more on their
ability to keep accounts straight than Mai

the deficit and bade it a final adieu.
A few mornings ago something was wrong
with the back action valve of his wooden leg,
and picking up the cranky member by its
shapely ankle and French toe he proceeded TO

The President stands By Raun.

There are no indications that the Presi-
dent intends TO be influenced in the least by
the report of the House committee against
Pension Commissioner Raum. The com
mittee recommends the removal of the com
missioner for three reasons, viz: Because,
being man of strong prejudicies and hasty
| temper, he is unfit to control large num-
| Der of employees; because he has used his
| official position in an improper way to make
| money and because he has used the pension
office for political purposes.
The President ought to be convinced by
this time that Mr.. Raum is not at man to
| be at the head of the pension Office For
some unsccountable reason, however, he
retains him. When the committee of the
last House made its report, withdrawing
Mr. Raum, it was thought the President
would ask for his resignation because the
minority report showed beyond doubt
that he was unfit for the position. The
committee Of the present House that iuvesti-
gated his management did its work care
fully and thoroughly, and it is difficult to
see on what grounds the President justifies
himself In permitting Mr.. Raum to retain
| the place.
No doubt Mr.. Raum has some very influ-
entail friends who are, perhaps, exerting
themselves in his behalf, but political intiu-
ence ought not to be permitted to outweigh
the recommendation of committee of
congress.
Mr.. Raum's management has been the
| occasion for scandals for the last year OF
| two. Some of them are of very grave
character. 1t cannot be said they have no
foundation, because a congressional com
| mittee declares they have, aud calls for
| Mr. Raum's removal. Indeed, Mr. Raum
| does not wholly deny that he has done some
| things which are not oreditsble to him as
the head of one Of the most i'm portaut
offices of the government.
The democrats have no particular inter
est in having him removed beyond the wish
that the pension Office shall be conducted SO
that it will not periodically furnish a crop
of scandals. Mr.. Raum has no political in
fluence and can do the Democratic party
no harm In his present position. And if he
had political influence that fact would not
| have led the committee to report against
| him. because the charges which show his
| un1tness for his position we're sustained.

nsr,oors.s Must oet 70 Work.


In some parts Of the state the Democratic
party is active In others 1t Is doing little
or nothing. 1t Is imperatively necessary
that the party throughout the entire state
should begin at once an earnest and enthu-
siastlc campaign. Clubs should be formed
and meetings held. 1t is not difficult mat
ter to get good campaign speakers. In ale
most every county there are democrats who
are capable of doing good campaign work
on the stump.
The third partYites are not letting the
grass grow under their feet. They are
doing their best to make the most OF their
opportunity. While they have as yet very
little organization, the individual members
Of their party are engaged in missionary
work. They are full of zeal to make converts,
and they improve every chance they have to
bring their neighbors over to their way OF
thinking. By their activity thsy create the
impression that they are much stronger
than they really are.
A good many democrats have been In
duced to give their support TO the third
party under the impression that that party
can do more TO improve their material
condition than the Democratic party.
They are mistaken, aud IL is al easy matter
to show them they are The Democratic
party is, and has always been, the party of
the people. It's whole history is history
of battle for the peoples rights
No southern man can conscientiously say
that the Democratic party is not a good
friend Of the south. IL overthrow the car
pet-bag governments and it prevented the
passage of the force bill. It'll now strug-
CLING 20 lift from the people the burden
imposed upon them by the Mckinley tariff
and to make President man who will give
the country an honest and economical ad-
ministradon Of the government.
The young democrats OF the state should
go to work. Let them organize and fnaugu-
rate a campaign that will insure a majority
for the state aud national ticket of whic
the democracy will be proud.

The Peoples party congrstulates itself
and the country upon the fact that it has
nominated a presidential ticket that will
forever bury Sectionalism and the unpleas-
ant memories of the war. Now, let's see
how the men on the ticket are going to bury
ssctionalism. Representative O'Ferrall says
of Gen. Weaver: He has exhausted the
vocabulary in his denunciation of the south
ern people and declared that those who
were not shot or hanged are again conspir-
Ing to get possession of the government
He has denounced them as a hungry, re-
bellious, man-hating. woman-sslling gang ;
and as late as July 10, 1885, declared on the
floor of the House of Representatives that
he had nothing to take back" Gen. Field,
the vice presidential nominee, is said
to be the man who regretted that
I'VE did not kill more yankees. "
Field is one Of the people whom
Weaver calls "a man-hsting, wonan-sell-
log gang" and Weaver is one of those
who, to Fields regret. was not killed
twenty five years ago. How these gentle
men are going to fraternize Is noe apparent
TO the ordinary thinker; ami unless they
profess and practice brotherly love. how
are they going to teach that virtue to their
folloWersf

The situation at Homestead.

The locked-out workmen at Homestead
do not intend TO offer any resistance to the
militia. 1t would be useless for them to dc
80. because If the National Guard of Penn.
sylvania is not able to maintain order and
enforce the law an appeal for assistance
will be made TO the national government
But there is no reason to apprehend con
fict between the workmen and the militia.
The state troops will take possession Of the
Homestead mills aud will put the Carnegie
Steel Association in charge OF them.
But will the association be permitted to
operate the mills after the troops are with
drawn? That is a question that cannot now
be answered. The workmen say that they
union men, and the association says 1t will
not employ union men. How is the ques-
ton TO be settled
1t is evident that the troops cannot remain
In Homestead very long. 1t is no part OF
their duty to guard the associations prop
srty when there is no disturbance Of the
peace, nor protect non-union men In oper-
ating the mills AS soon as the association
is in peaceable possession Of its mills and
is engaged in operating them they will be
withdrawn.
What then will hsppenl Unless the ASSOC
citation maintains a strong guard about the
mills and the non-union workmen
are kept within the strong fence
by which the mills are surrounded,
the locked-out workmen will prob
ably attack the nou-union men and drive
them out Of Homestead. That evidently is
their programme. In fact, they have init
mated that 1t is
1t is probable Of course, that the associa-
tion may be able to defend Itself against the
locked out workmen long enough to make
them willing to accept the terms that were
originally offered them, but from present
indications there would be great deal Of
trouble before it would be possible to reach
such a condition of affairs.
Its more than likely that some sort Of
an agreement will be reached by mutual
concessions before many days. The locked
out men know their position is untenabls.
They don't have to be told that they are act
ing outside of the law. A few days Of sober
reflection may enable them to see that they
will not be permitted TO deprive the ASSOC
citation Of its property, even though they
have grievance which they think justihes
them in doing 80. They may annoy the
association for long time, and may even
destroy its property, but they will gain
nothing by pursuing that course. By de-
stroying the mills they would iujure them
selves, because they would deprive them
selves Of the means Of earning living
The presence of the state troops will have
the effect of impressing upon them that
however strong they are the state is
stronger, and that the law will be enforced
II they have a grievance redress must be
sought in a lawful way. Without respect
for the law it would not be possible to build
up and carry on industrial enterprises.
The association may consent to an. arbi-
tration of its differences with the locked
out workmen. but it will hardly do so until
the workmen give some assurance of their
purpose to respect the law.

Arbitration at Homestead.
From the Heto York Times ,Ind.

There are many suggestions Of arbitration
for the settlement OF the difficulty between the
Carnegie Steel Company and its former err
ployes That would have been appropriate
when IL was a question OF wages and OF employ
ment, but the time for 1t has unfortunately
passed. The company can not be expected TO
submit to arbitration the question whether IL
shall have possession OF its own property, nor
can the right OF the sheriff of Allegheny county
to enforce the law be submitted to arbitration.
Nor is the company likely to agree to submit
anything to arbitration as condition of get
ting possession OF its works aud IL it were will
ing to do so the public Authorities ought not TO
countenance that method of lawlessness and de-
fiance OF authority to succeed. Arbitration
was proper once and 1t may be admissible
again, but not until the present situation ends
and the reign Of law has been restored at
Homestead.

New Orleans Threatened.

The people Of the rear portion Of New
Orleans are very much alarmed by the rise
OF the water in Lake Ponchartrain. The
water has already risen nearly six feet, and
is steadily rising. The lake has overlooked
its natural banks and is filing up the marsh
and spreading out over the truck farms
in the rear OF the city. A rise OF another
foot In the lake would be sufficient to iaun-
date portion of the city which is occupied
by at least %, 900 people. That portion of
the city was inundated in 1883 and caused
great deal OF distress.
The water that is causing the rise reaches
the lake from the Mississippi river through
the Belmont and Sorry crevasses. The lake
has an outlet into the gulf through the Rig
Diets, but it is not large enough to carry Off
the water as fast as 1t Is received through
the orevasses. Although the river is falling
it will be several weeks before it falls sufi-
GENTLY low to cease running through the
ore vases, which are deep and wide.
The people of the river counties in Louis
lana, Mississippi and Arkansas have suf-
tered greatly from the overflow. The
water will not recede in time to
permit large portion of them to
grow any crops this year. In some of the
overlooked districts the people are in a starv-
ing condition. Only few days ago an ur-
gent appeal for help for people in some
of the overlooked portions of Louisiana was
issued, and the state has appropriated $780,
0OO to assist the sufferers.
The overflow this year has caused the
question, whether the right method is being
pursued by the river commission to improve
the river and prevent overhows, to be re-
vived. The advocates Of the outlet system
have become aggressive again, but they do
not appear to be making many converts
The engineers in charge of the river i'm
provement still have the public confidence
and will be permitted to proceed with their
plan for deepening the river and keeping it
within its banks.
