Our Republican friends in California opened
their campaign yesterday throughout the State,
the most important event being great mass
meeting at San Francisco, held last night. All
their plans have been carefully drawn mp and
matured and they are confident of success
The Democrats, meanwhile, who inaugurated
their campaign about week ago, are making
but little Roadway, and their prospects OF de-
feat are certain to be further increased by such
deplorablo incidents as the murder OF Mr..
McWhiltcr at Fresno. Mr. McWhlrter, Who'
according to the dispatch from our san Fran
cisco correspondent published to-day, was one
of the most prominent Republican lawyers ana
politicians Of the place. had rendered himself
conspicuous b. his boldness and viSoE Ill laying
bare the rascality of the local Democratic ring
the exposure Of whose nefari0uS methods rem
der. certain the overthrow OF its rule at the
forthcoming election. He has now paid the
penalty for his patriotic courage with his me-
and reward of $4,000 has been offered by
his indignant felowctizenS for evidence tha'

The progress made in school architecture is
strikingly illustrated by the new edtce for the
Boys High School in Brooklyn. which is TO be
opened this week. 1t is far and away the finest
school building in our sister city and will no
doubt compare fayorally with the best work
done in this line anywhere in the country. 1T
must take high rank if not the highest among
all the public structures in Brooklyn. Not only
is it beautiful in outward appearance. with its
clustered windows, graceful campanie and sub
stantial tower but in its interior arrangements
II is all that could be desired for the convenience
and comfort of pupils and teachers. We arc
glad to note that especial attention has been
given to the question of ventilation, which
architects aforetime We're too apt TO neglect.
The new building has been placed in a rapidly
developing section of Brooklyn, and its ample
proportions are not unlikely to be tested to
their full capacity within the next few years.

A curious case Of dcpravity is that of the
Pennsylvania farmer who put an obstruction upon
a railway track and then stopped the approach

the peril in its way. He has made full con-

ward for his good work. So circumstantial was
his account OF the discovery of the obstruction
that he said bullets were fired at him while he
was engaged In removing IL. charitable view
OF the case is that he was not of sound mind.

FRESH STATE NEWS.

The attempt in Seattle 10 blackmail
some Of the regents Of the agricultural coll
lege by an ambassador Of a precarlous
newspaper is said TO have failed.
At Pullman the agricultural college re-
gents have given out contracts for the
erection Of dOrmitory college hall, resi-
dence, farm house and barn. About S17,-
600 has been expended out Of total appro-
priation Of $50 900, and contracts now on
hand will call for the expenditure Of about
$4,000 more.
Yesterday about noon the government
steel cruiser Charleston, now at Port Or

blaze having broken out uncomfortably
close TO the powder magazines. Goodness
of the officers prevailed and the incipient

STRIKES UNDER CLEVELAND,
The UnsurpRssed Record OF "a DEM
OcratIc Administration.

OcruNic administration
Speaking of strikes, let US look up the
record, for, as Patrick Henry said, "WG
have no other light to guide our feet than
the lamp of experience; we can Judge Of
the future only by the past" Mr.. Cleve-
land is a candidate for the presidency this
year and his supporters are fond of telling
the Workingmen that wages will be so good
if they elect him. that there will be nc
further need of strikes; no danger of lock
outs. The country has had one Cleveland
administration. How Jared the working
man then2
The total number of strikes in all indus
tries in the United States from 1881 to 1884
inclusive was 10, ,159. During the first two
years of Mr. CleVeland's administration
(l8S5-86) they numbered 12,145 In other
words, during the entire administration of
Garfield and Arthur there were not as many
strikes by 20 per cent as occurred during
the first half Of Mr.. Cleveland's term.
Again, during the four years from 1881
to 1885 Inclusive, 481, ,009 persons went out
on strike. During the first two years of the
Cleveland regime the grand total was 742,-
1874.
In New York, Mr.. Cleveland's own state,
there were 5, ,1S0 strikes during the first half
of his administration. The total number
for the four years preceding was 4,O67.
In 1886, after the country had had full
year of Cleveland rule, there were 4,317
strikes in his own state of New York, in
volving 1881 ,07l persons. In 1889 80, the be-
ginning of the present administration, the
number of strikers fell TO 1884, and the
greatest strike of that period was on the
New York Central railroad, which institu-
ton certainly cannot be classed as a pro.
tectsd industry. Nor was this strike
against q reduction of wages, but arose
from certain dismssals made by the COM
pany.- Minneapolis Tribune.

why CholeraIs Spreading.

ST. PETERSBURG, July 22.-The NoeVoe
Vremyo describes the cholera infected dis
tricts. 1t says; The Baker railroad sta
ton is filled with a tumultuous crowd lof
fugitive. When the doors were opened a
crowd rushed to the platform and so over
crowded the trains that many sat on the
floor. The stencil was suffocating. Pru-
dent passengers sprinkled their clothes
with carbolic acid. A doctor looked at the
rongues, feels the passengers pulse and
everybody protests that he or she is in per
feet health. The train starts, often with
in few minutes. If a passenger is taken
i'll with the cholera the inmates of the pa
tients' compartment become panic stricken.
The patient is removed and the place where
he sat Is sprinkled with carbolic acid and
the passengers Immediately refill the
places. A similar scene occurs frequently.
At each station the same perfunctory ex-
animation is made. No wonder cholera is
spreading in Tiflis and other places.

the Cause of the Trouble.
Special to The Tribune.
SHELTON, Wash, July 22.-The doors Of
the Bank of Shelton we're closed by the
sheriff Tuesday on a writ issued by County
Treasurer O'Neill, who has county funds
deposited there. Cashier Metzger left last
Monday for Olympia and Seattle ostensibly
to raise funds to tide oyer the difficulty
but Tuesday be telegraphed his failure to
get money, hence the action of the county
treasurer At this time his whereabouts
is unknown and the depositors have begun
to realize the true condition Of affairs. 1t
is not likely that much can be realized from
the assets and all of the personal property
Of Cashier and Manager Metzger is heavily
mortgaged. Protested drafts and checks
have been coming in for some time with
more to follow. 1t cannot be definitely
ascertRined just how much the liabilities
are until everything has been returned.
The affairs Of the bank are in very bad
state, for which those who had control are
entirely responsible. This state OF affairs
has been generally known for some time,
as protests have been quite a common
thing and it has injured the credit of our
solid business men abroad considerably
The safe was opened this morning, and it
is said that less than $500 was found, some
of which had been taken in since the
cashier left. The sheriff has begun the
work Of examining the books, but it is inn
possible TO got figures at this hour.
Treasurer O'Neill and several Of our
farmers will be the heaviest losers, as the
business men have been very careful in
their dealings with the bank of late.
Treasurer O'Neill has S44OO in county
funds, K. Leisure $1,000. and other deposit
ors not known, making the aggregate up TO
fully $4,000 which will remain to be ac-
counted for For over year the bank has
been unable to make loans and has been
doing hand to mouth business. Before
that time it always did big business. The
actions Of the cashier had all to do with
the loss of business, many Of oar heaviest
men being large depositers in Olympia
banks or keeping cash in local safes or the
family stocking.
The bank was organized in 1889 with q
capital stock of $4,000. Hon. A. II. An
dsrson, of Seattle, is the president Of the
concern, and A. r. Metzger acted as cash
Ter, but the latter originally put the most
money in. Papers have been served on all
mixed up in the matter, and it is probable
that the depositors will realize something
or there will be blood on the moon. How
ever, there is yet hope that the officers will
see the gravity Of the situation and raise
funds necessary TO settle the matter,
whether the bank is opened again or not.
There is now a fine opening here for
national bank, in which the people could
have confidence.

STATE POLITICAL POINTERS.

In the republican primaries in Spokane
county yesterday, the chief interest lay in
the rivalry between Representative John
L. Wilson and Hon. s. o. Hyde for con-
gress, il being generally understood that
the nomination would 90 TO the man with
solid delegation from Spokane. The re-
suit proves a decisive victory for Wilson,
who will have two-thirds, and possibly
three-fourths Of the delegates 10 the coun-
ty convention.
Col. viii J.. Visscher, Of Tacoma, says
"The struggle between Mr.. Doolittle and
State Senator ClaypOol for the support Of
Pierce county for the nomination is very
close, and compromise between them
may be necessary. / have friends on both

THE PINKERTONS
Tell Their Side of the Story to
Congress.
All About the Homestead Strike
from Another Side--The Pink
ertOns Were Fired ON Before
They Used Fire Arms.

WASHINGTON, July 22.-The special COM
mittee of the house inquiring into the
Homestead troubles heard Pinkerton's
this morning. Robert Pgnkerton presented
statement covering the history of his
agency since its organization in 1850, stat
ing that for twenty years he had furnished
men to protect property during strikes.
These men were carefully selected, seldom
permitted to carry arms except under pub
lie authority and never wantOnly fired a
shot in any strike. Men we're sent to
Homestead only OH the assurance that the
sheriff would swear them in as deputies If
necessary. Many of these men were reg
ular employees, thoroughly tried and trust
worthy, and the others were Vouched for.
They did not go into Pennsylvania as an
armed force. Arms were shipped from
Chicago and ordered not TO be given to the
men unless deputized by the sheriff. As
matter of fact the boxes we're not opened
until the strikers began firing and it became
a matter Of life and death. Klein had been
killed and five others wounded before the
PinkertOns returned the fire. The Pink
ertons we're handicapped in the fight by
the fact that the strikers made a breast
work by placing women and children in
front but not a single woman OF child was
injured.
The statement declares the act of the
strikers after the surrender Of the watch
man, "a disgrace to saYages," yet, because
done in the name Of American labor 10 is
upheld by ssnle newspapers and political
demagogues. 1t declares on the trials for
murder it will be shown that the Pinker-
toms acts we're legal. The statement then
reviews the history Of strikes, and says IL
shows organized labor everywhere will
murder and destroy property out Of sheer
Wantonness, revenge and it is morally GER
/ tain from threats of the men themselves.
The Homestead strikers would have done
/ likewise if the company tried to supply
| their places. The employment all over the
country by banks and private people as
Watchmen is referred to- then
/ the subscribers to the state
assure them they have violated no
law, federal or state; that they had the
right to employ and send men to Home
stead to act as watchmen; that If attacked
they had the right to kill if absolutely
necessary for self-defense; that they had
the right to bear arms on the premises Of
the Carnegie company In order to protect
life and property whether or not they we're
deputized by the sheriff of Allegheny
county; that we had the right to ship arms
from Chicago to the Carnegie yards al
Homestead for the purpose Of arming oul
men if and after they we're deputized by
the sheriff; that in view Of the attack on
the barges our men had the right TO beal
arms and defend themselves, and that al
their acts in firing in self defense from the
the barges after the attack on them is le
gally iustifiable under the laws Of tn,

Third Party Candidate for Vice

AnlEu EaEtY candidate 1Or Vice
President speaks 10 VIrRinIans.
GoRDoNsvILLE, Va, July 22.-General
James g. Field, third party nominee for
vice president, opened the campaign here
in a speech to small audience, which was
graced by the presence of several ladies,
among them the speakers handsome wife.
General Field called his party "the party
of the revolution OF '92-the logical Sc
quence of that of 49," He said the repub-
lican party dominated by Wall street, did
not want to give the country any relief,
and the democratic party could not for it
had either lost its craftsmanship or its
leadership, and the house of representa-
tiYes was daily made the laughing stock of
the nation by "that man Tom Reed, of
Maine."
"The peoples party" he continued, sis
the only hope of the people, the only ref
uge and safety. Read your Bibles Sunday
and the Omaha platform every day ip the
week. A monkey show or a horse race in
Washington will depopulate the house of
representatives, and it is impossible to
keep a quorum there for Tom Reed to bull
lyrag." He discussed the Omaha platform,
especially the sub-treasury scheme and free
coinage; ridiculed Whitney as "the son-in-
law of the Standard Oil trust, and Grover
Cleveland as 'the Puppet of Wall street. Z"
The audience was respectful and attentive,
but not enthusiastic.

HOMESTEAD MILLS.
NOn.UniOn Men Going to Work
Today.
Steamboat Loads of Them--An Adj

Hope for the ola WOrkmen Who
Refuse TO so TO Work.

Refuse to 80 TO Work.
PITTsBURa, July 22.-The Carnegie com.
pany this morning began to carry out
their expressed intention to put nOn-union
men in the Homestead mills. The steam
ers Tide and Little Bill left with loads OF
new men this morning and will continue
to make trips all day. From the number
Of men coming and going at the offices of
the company it looks as if the claim that
the company has all the men necessary to
start the mills is true.
Governor Pattison left for Harrisburg
at noon. Just before leaving he stated en-
phatically that no change had been made
in the orders to troops and none was con-
templated. The departure of the governor
cuts off all hope of the strikers that he
would intervene in their behalf The
strikers report their ranks still solid, but
the line at the relief committee rooms this
morning was nearly twice as long as be-
fore. The tension between the troops and
strikers grows and serious results are likely
to follow at any time.
Judge Magee this morning in Pittsburg
fixed the time Of hearing the applications
of O'Donnell and R. Ross, labor leaders,
for release on bail for tomorrow morning.
THE STRIKERS ADDRESS.
The strikers advisory board issued an ad-
dress to the men and to the public gener-
ally this morning. The address calls at
tentiOn to the tendency to concentrate
business in the hands of a few men, giving
them despotic power over the employees,
who constitute the great mass of people.
Instead of being the fright of employers TO
to manage their own business, " 1t is COM
ing TO mean to manage the country. The
employees of the Carnegie company at
Homestead have built up town, worked
faithfully with the company in the busi
ness of the mill; invested thousands of dol
lars of their saving in the mill, in expecta-
tion of work there as long as they were
able to work. The government taxes the
state of Pennsylvania is spending large
sums to protect the mills. Therefore,
the belief Is expressed that the
employees and the public have equitable
right in these mills, that the employees
have the right to continuous employment
without regard to religious, political or
trades-union affiliations afhrms, that the
position ofthe company is unconstitutional
anarchistic, revolutionary and in contempt
of public and private interest and adds:
"The committee wishes it known that we
will prosecute said public and private in
terests in the courts Of law and equity, and
we demand Of congress and the state legis-
lature a distinct assertion Of principle that
the public has an interest in such concerns
as that of Homestead and that the state
has a duty to judge Of affairs Of such con-
Germs when occasion may require" 1t
closes with a pledge to abstain from all
violence and rest on the courts for remedy
All the old employees occupying places
owned by the company were served with
eviction notices this morning. Under
contract with the company they are obliged
to deliver possession in ten days.
