THREADING A DANGEROUS PATH.

1t is said that member of the adj
visory committee of the Amalgmat
ed Association, at Homestead. made
public the following in regard to the
position of the strikers and the Car
negie works:
"We will not under any circumstan-
ces permit those mills to run if there
is any agency which may be employed
to prevent it. We have already Sc
lected men who will go into those
mills as fast as they can secure en-
ployment, who are instructed and
sworn to carry out our orders in con-
summarizing the policy which we have
agreed upon When we are sure there
is no longer any hope for US, our repre-
sentatives in the mills will place eX-
plOsives where they will do the most
harm to the machinery. We have
definitely determined that these mills
shall not be operated by .non-union
men, and one of the principal ways to
prevent it is either to control or wreck
the property.
This statement may or may not be
true, but it is a position often assum-
ed by strikers, and such sentiments
have been expressed by some of the
strikers at different times, at Home
stead. With the exception of their
acts of violence, the strikers have en-
joyed greater degree of public SYM
pathy than strikers usually do, but
should the above line of action be car
ried out they will forfeit all right to
public sympathy, for they will depart
from the ways of peace for those OF
violence.
The mills do not belong to the strikers
and having declined to work therein
upon the terms offered they have nc
further right in nor about them and
in any attempt they may make to
wreck the property, they will simply
place themselves before the public as
viOlaters of the law. The only re-
cOurce of the strikers seems to be to
improve every possible agency to get
their difficulties submitted to arbitra-
tion. When they leave this they are
treading dangerous paths.
When workingman reaches point
where he declares that he will either
control or wreck his employers prop
erty, he is treading dangerously close
to anarchy, and needs to pause and
carefully consider what the effect OF
such course will be

In speaking of the free coinage of
silver the Waseca Radical says it has
no particular objection to it, only it
thinks'if the government puts only 70
cents worth of silver in the dollar the
government ought to have the other
80 cents, rather than give it to the
speculator or. mine owner. But the
Radical can't see where the dollar
would be injured if it had dollars
worth of silver in it.

by his wife, where he will spend a

how man, under those circumstances

OVER in England Lord Salisbury is
rejoicing that Gladstone cannot Sc
cure the enactment of his home rule
measure because it will be blocked in
the House of Lords. AS the home
rule sentiment seems to be gaining in
England, such opposition upon the
part OF they may not tend to in
crease their popularity with the peo-
pie, and the Lords may hear from the

Strike at Merrill, wis.

MERRILL, Wis, July 2S.--The en-
ployes of the Gilkey & Arson Lumber
company to the number of 500 have gone
on a strike. The chief reason for this
action of the men is that they demanded
ten hours work instead of eleven at ten
hours pay, which was refused them. A
general strike among this class of work
ers here is talked of.

FARM HANDS IN DEMAND.

Alarming Scarcity of Helpi Throughout
South Dakota.
~ HURON, July 2S.-The demand for
farm laborers in all parts of the state,
and especially in the Jim river valley, is
daily increasing. 1t is estimated that
Faulk, Hand, Hyde, Potter, Sully,
Beadle, Sphinx, Sanborn, Kingsbury and
Jerauld counties need from $50 to 400
men each to gather the rapidly
maturing crops. 1t has been in
tensely hot for the past ten days
and grain has made wonderful progress,
farmers are in the midst of haying, and
that work has been delayed on account
Of the heat and scarcity of laborers. In
many instances women and children are
obliged to drive moving machines and
rakes, and they could not work during
the heat Of the day. Railroads are en-
deavoring to induce harvest hands to
come into the state by Offering special
rates, and farmers agree to pay liberal
wages. The situation is becoming
alarming and fears are entertained lest
the bountiful harvest cannot be secured.

HEAVY Rainfall.

MINNEAPoLIs, July 2S.-In the TWEEN
ty-four hours from a. m. July 26 to 8
a. m. July 81 the rainfall at Minneapo-
lis was 7.S0 inches-the greatest fall of
water ever recorded by the weather bu-
reau, and probably the heaviest ever
known here. The slightest damage done
by the storm was the flooding of cellars
all over the city. Single creek went on
rampage and washed out the old Os-
valid dam near the North Side pumping
station. When the structure went out
the swift current completely demolished
the wooden wagon bridge and tore out
the underpinnings of the 500 road
bridge over the creek so that the track
sagged badly and became unsafe for
travel. Street car service was badly
crippled.

Hon. Daniel F. Beatty, the great organ

shipping more organs and pianos than
ever. In 1870 Mr.. Beatty left home pen
nlless piOw boy, and by his indomitable
will ne has worked his way up so as to sell
so far, nearly 100000 of Beatty's organs
and pianos since 1870. Nothing seems to
dishearten him; obstacles in his way that
would have wrecked any ordinary man for
ever, he turns to an advertisement and
comes out of brighter than ever. His in
struments, as is well known, are very pop
ular and are to be found in all parts of the
world. We are informed that during the
next ten years he intends to sell 200, 600
more of his make, that means a business
of $20,0000O0 if we average them at 500
each. 1t is already the largest business of
the kind in existence. Send to Daniel +.

SOCIABLE SAILORS.
They Spend the Day on Shore and
Enjoy Themselves.

Arrangements for the Entertain
ment of the Charleston and Bal
tfmOre The Reception and
Clam Bake.
The bay was dotted with sails and small
boats carrying visitors to the war ships all
of yesterday, while the incessant toot and
whistle of the steamers and the appear
ance of the sailor boys gave the day some-
thing of a holiday appearance On board
of both ships visitors just swarmed and
the officers and men extended every eour-
tesy possible. The workings of the guns
were shown and everything requiring an
explanation was pointed out to the inquis-
tive spectator. Both boats will remain
here until Saturday, and will be open for
the reception of visitors from IL to 5
o'clock.
Alta meeting of the committee on Satur-
day evening, final arrangements for the
entertainment of the officers were agreed
upon. The clambake, which was proposed
for today, was postponed until Thursday,
owing to the inability to make ready
for it. On Thursday every citizen
OI O4yulp pld Is invited TO buffers cove IOr a
gala day. Small boats and row boats will
ply constantly between the city and the
cove and the Capital City band will furnish
music for the occasion. The ladies are re-
quested to bring we'll filled baskets, in
order that every body may enjoy the feast.
On Tuesday evening a reception will be
rendered the officers at the Olympia hotel
The spacious parlOrs will be appropriately
decorated, and the occasion will doubtless
be one of much enjoyment. Supper will
be served from 10 to 1 O'Clock.
The program for Wednesday will be one
of recreation more than anything else, al
though it is probable that a game of base
ball will be played between a nine from the
Baltimore crew, and the remnants of the
Olympia nine. Although the Baltimore
boys spend but little time on shore, Their
nine, it is said are we'll up in the national
game.
The Baltimore attracts the most atten-
tion because it was this vessel or rather
the crew, that was attacked by the Chilians
in the streets of Valparaiso and two of the
sailors killed. Since leaving Chilian
waters the Baltimore has been in San
Francisco, Portland and the Puget Sound
ports.

Department for Ladies.
No business man has shown as much
enterprise, or done more for the convenience
and accommodation of his patrons, than
has J, L. Brown, in the opening of his
new tonsorial establishment and public
baths, in the Granger building on the
west side of Main street between Fifth and
Sixth, near THE TRIBUNE office. The
building has been rebuilt especially
for Mr.. Browns use, and with a
view to making it the most complete
establishment of its kind on the coast.
The front of the building is utilized for
the tOnsOrial department and on entering,
one is Immediately impressed with the
sweet and clean appearance of the apart
ments. The walls and ceilings are beauti-
fully papered, the rooms well lighted with
lncandescent lamps and every other con-
Yenience is furnished for the patrons.
Mr.. Brown has added more than one new
feature to his business and has been par
ticular in supplying something that will
be appreciated by the ladies' which is a
separate and exclusive department. for
their use. In this room ladies and chill
dren will have skilled attendants.
Just off from this department is a
ladies' bath room, and to the rear, are
Jnree more lOT Jue use OF gentlemen. Few
rooms, if any on the Pacihc coast, can sur
pass these. Each room is finished in a diff
ferent tint, and is equipped in the most
improved porcelain tubs, purchased by
Mr.. Brown in St. Louis. The floors are
neatly carpeted, and the patrons of the
house will fully appreciate the provisions
here made for their comfort.
The cigar store at the corner of Main and
Third streets will also be removed to the
new quarters, and will be equipped with a
full and complete line of tobacco, cigars
and smokers articles. Mr.. Brown not
only enjoys the reputation of being first
and foremost in his line of business, but is
classed among Olympians as a man of en-
terprse, energy and progress, who has
done much for the advancement of the
CitY's interest.
