EDITOR ADvoCATE:-June II and Is
the Alliance picnic of Sheridan, De-
catur, Norton and Graham counties, held
at the four corners, in Bradberry Park,
was one of the grsndest events of the
season. Although the morning of the
18th dswned dark and gloomy, everyone
started out at an early hour, with happy
hearts and we'll filed baskets. Ere the
dinner hour arrived over $500 people
were In the park. There were present q
great many eloquent speakers. Mr..
Moody addressed the people In the
morning. Mr.. Moody is one of the finest
speakers In northwestern Kansas, and is
man that any party should be proud
of. ]. Fl. Todd and J. B. D. Hull also
delivered very interesting addresses.
The Prairie Band, of Sheridan county,
furnished some very fine music, which
was appreciated by all. Ere night came
tents could be seen far and near. When
supper time came oil could be seen
"fessting on the best Of the land" A
political love feast was held In the even
ing, which great many partOok of. The
morning of the 18th the sun burst forth
in her splendor, and filed the hooks with
her radiant beams. Breakfast was served
in camp style, after which Mr.. Doom de-
llvered an excellent speech. Mr. Lathrop,
OF Oberlin, gave some very fine thoughts
to the people. Poet Judd favored the
audience with several fine pieces Of vocal
music of his own composing. The din
ner hour was once more announced, after
which several good speakers entertained
the people till evening, followed by gay
music for the young folks at night,
which all seemed to enjoy, till an early
hour the morning Of the 10Th, when they
all returned to their places Of abode.

the week. The sunshine has been about
the average in all portions Of the state,
few stations reporting an excess, none
deficiency.
RESULTS. ii
The week has been q very favorable
one for the wheat harvest, which Is now
ct It's height over the greater portion OF
the state. In the southern counties
much Of the wheat and rye 10 In the
shock. In the central counties good
start has BEEN made, and in the northern
harvest will begin the coming week. Re
ports of an abundant yield Of good quail
lty come from nearly every portion Of the
state, but In some localities where it Is
backward rain is needed to bring il to
perfection. An insect working on the
wheat in Brown county makes II neCes-
say to cut some fields while still green.
Oats promise q fair yield, the heads
generally, being well filled. The Oat
harvest will begin the coming week In
the southwestern counties, where barley
is also about ready to cut, and promises
q good yield. In some localities, how
ever, a good rain would benefit both.
Corn iB rapidly improving and coming
abreast Of the season. The fields are
generally clean and the ground in good
condition. The timely rains Of the latter
part of the week gave the crop a new
impetus In the regions where they fell.
In other localities rains are needed, eS-
peclaIly for the gardens, which in some
places are suffering greatly.
Grapes promise a good crop though
fruits generally are short.
Severe local wlndstorms are reported
on the Goth, slightly lnjuring the corn in
Elk, and iDjuring the oats, scattering
wheat shocks and blowing down out
buildings In Labette. On the same date
= hail storm slightly injured the wheat in
On the let and Sd the wheat
In Trego and Brown was slightly injured
by high winds.
Grass and pastures are reported short

PROTECTION TO AMERICAN LABOR.

P1TTsBURG, Pa, June 29.-The first
trouble from the expected strike of 4,5OO
empioyes of the Carnegie iron works at
Homestead against reduction of wages
took place last Light. Word had been
received that six Pinkerton detectives
had left Plttsburg for that place, and
when the train arrived large delegation
Of angry wOrkmen was on hand to re-.
Celve them. Six strangers alighted from
the train, but they got out Of sight be-
fore the workmen could locate them. A
vigilance committee was hunting them
all day today. One man was caught in
the vicinity Of the works, but he man
aged to give satisfactory account Of
himself. He was told to get out of the
town anyway, which he did without de-
lay. The committee declares that IL any
Of the detectives are caught they will be
thrown into the river.
The chief Of police today wGs offered
the services Of fifty of the staunchest
citizens of the town to serve az special
officers In protecting the town In case Of
trouble. Several of the Homestead mer-
chants were seen today regarding the
threatened trouble, and all warmly SYM
pathized with the workmen, promising
that everything In their stores should be
ct the disposal Of the men. Perhaps
there Is no town In Pennsylvania In
which greater per cent. Of the popNl9-
tlon own their own property than In
Homestead. Many Of the workmen have
their homes almost paid for. Some were
fearful that If strike should come they
could not hold their property, but the
building and loan societies and leading
merchants have assured them that when
their interest becomes due it will be
paid. This fact has encouraged the men
80 that to-day there are not over ten Of
the $500 employees of the company who
are not ready to measure strength with
the opposition. 1t was supposed that on
midnight Of June 80 the Homestead
workers would quit work, but the men
have decided to finish the turn begun at
8 o'clock on Thursday night, and 80
work will be continued until o'clock
Friday morning, July 1.
Fully 1000 people went 10 Homestead
today, mostly mill workers from city
mills, and. like Joshua's army, tramped
Aro md the wall Of the modern Home
stead Jericho, but the walls still stand.
The only hope which now appears for
the prevention Of serious trouble lies In
the chance that the Carnegie firm win
shut down their works until the wage
question is settled, but should they at
tempt TO bring men TO take the place Of
the strikers trouble will follow at once.

though many speeches were made In
which It was said that che Republican
party would be doing these gentlemen o
great injustice, that il would be cow
ardly to defeat them aud that the con-
Vention could not afford to be guided by

gentlemen this great injustice, was guilty
Of this cowardice, and did follow In the
footsteps of the Alliance. B. K. Bruce,

celved the nomination for auditor.

Ing simply obeyed the law in the reduo-

thought that his nomination should be
