fl companion piece to its assertion
that the free trade plank is unimportant
because it was only carried by two-thirds
vote. In answer to the Chicago Herald,
which denies that the force bill is the issue
involved, the Sun proves the contrary, to
its own satisfaction, thus: "The States of
New York, Gognecticut and New Jersey,
electorally indispensable for the election
of Cleveland and Stevenson, believe in the
principle and policy Of protection. But
while they are against the policy which
the Herald seeks 70 champion in the name
of Democracy, they are as certainly with
the Democrats in opposition to the force
BILL"
Because the votes of New York, Con-
necticut and New Jersey are needed,
therefore anything which will get their
votes is the issue, platform declarations,
legislative contests and campaign discus
sion to the contrary notwithstanding.
The Suns logic is of the same impera-
tive kind as that of the boy who was dig
ging out woodchuck with fireshovel.
The Democracy is out for votes, and the
force bill has got to be the issue.

PowDERLY,s WRONG CONCLUSION.

There is a good deal of Inconsistency in
SGTTSt ATTITUDE of Nh. Terence V. Powderly
III regard to the Presidential election. We
do rot refer to that reported collision with
the amiG bic Chauncey F. Black, which by
the contradictions are reduced to a nullity.
Bat Mr. Powderlys own utterances ex-
EIbit decided hiatus between the grounds
On which he defines his position and the
conclusion as to how he is going to vote.
Powdorly's last article in the Journal Of
United Labor makes vigorous attack on
the Democratic policy. His denunciation
OF the failure of the State administration
10 suppress the Reading deal is not more
radical than his Reputation of the de-
structive free trade platform of Democ-
raCy and its reactionary movement in the
direction Of wildcat bank notes. After
putting himself on record in this positive
manner, Powderly declares that he will
vote for Weaver and Field.
This is a very striking case of false con-
clUsion. Powderly is too intelligent man
not to know that, so far as all practical re-
suits are concerned, vote for Weaver
and Field is identical with a vote for
Cleveland and Stevenson. The masses
mgnt he forgiven Tor ignorance on tnlS
lOint; but leader of Mr.. Powderly's
standing cannot ignore the fact that the
utmost success that can attend the Weaver
movement is to throw the election into the
House, where it is certainty that Cleve-
land will be elected. So plainly is this
character Of the Peoples Party recog-
nized by the leaders that fusion in the
West is based on the plan of swapping
empty and unnecessary electoral votes
for Weaver IN exchange for votes to en-
sure the election of a Democratic Vice
President
The present attitude CT affairs makes
the Peoples Party an unmistakable ad-
junct of Democracy. When it trenches
upon Democratic territory its candidates
are suppressed by that basic element of
Democracy whose heart is fired by the
bugaboo Of force bill and negro domina-
ton.

CHIEF ARTHUR'S WORDS OF PEACE.
He Makes Very Conservative Speech tt
the Locomotive Engineers.

He Makes Very Conservative Speech to
the Locomotive Engineers.
ALTOONA Sept. 25.-ChiefP. NJ. Arthur was
the drawing card at the union meeting OF j.
C. Burley division No. 2S7, Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers, held to-day. Hun
dreds of strangers were present, including
delegations from all surrounding towns, as
well as from Pittsburg and Allegheny.
Sha1dy Mcguire, the famous railroad poet,
was also conspicuous figure. The object
of the meeting was to acquaint the public
with the objects of the order. The speakers
all impressed the claim that the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers was intended
to avert, not cause, trouble with employers.
Grand Chief Arthur opened his remarks
by announcing his firm belief in organized
labor, saying he felt sure that If the labor
ing men or this OF any other country are
ever % rescued eS from the thraldom Of slavery
1t will be through and by Organized efforts
The misfortunes of organized labor of the
present day have in most cases been the
selection of leaders
The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
has done much for the good of the men,
their families, the railroad companies and
the communities in which the men dwell.
1t has given the railroad companies trust
worthy, reliable men. 1t insists on all being
sober. honest and faithful to duty. During
its % years of existence it has had only
three strikes, and these could have been
prevented had the roads been as fair-minded
as the men. The speakers remedy for la Dor
disputes was that suggested in the Bible
Come, let us reason together" and "Do
unto others as you would have others do
unto you"
The speaker then explained the system OF
settling grievances. There is no one-man
power. When people say arthur ordered a
strike" they are mistaken. Arthur orders
no strikes. The men decide those questions
themselves. Referring to the recent Read
ing trouble, he said that no matter what
President Mcleod had done to other people
the speaker found him very fair-minded
man. All differences were settled within 30
minutes after the committee met Mcleod.
The insurance system of the Brotherhood
has resulted in the payment of over So 600 900
in benefits. Strikes are never ordered ex-
ceDt in extreme cases where all other re-
sources have Jailed to bring about an ad-
justment of the grievances. Chief Arthur
departs for Cleveland, his home, early to-
morrow morning.

SOCIALISTS KNOW NO NATION.
No River of Blood Separates German and
French Workingmen.


MARsEILLEs, Sept. 25.-At the meeting of the
Workingmen's Congress to-day, Herr Lieb-
knecht, representing the Socialists of Ger
many, delivered an address, in which he
said:
"For Socialists the question of Nationalism
does not exist. We know but two nations
the nation in possession and q nation of prof.
etarians formed of workingmen of all
countries. Between Frenchmen and Ger
mans there is broad river of blood, for the
flowing of which we are Innocent and our
enemies are responsible. But it
does not form frontier of ha-
tired between Socialists. We protested
against the fratricidal war of 1870. The
Socialists constitute great army, OF which
the workingmen of France, Germany and
elsewhere form the different army corps.
We have beaten Bismarck after a struggle
lasting 25 years, and we are ready to shed
our last drop of blood for socialism"
Herr Liebknecht concluded his stirring
address by shouting, Long live the Inter-
national Revolutionary Democracy" His
utterances were greeted with enthusiastic
applause. NJ. Ferrout, q member of the
Chamber OF Deputies, who is one Of the
prominent delegates TO the congress, warmly
thanked Herr Licbknecht for his address,
and called for cheers Tor the workingmen of
GERMANY.

An Illinois Woman Who Swallowed a
MouthfuI Is Suffering Severely.
LEwIsTowN, ILL, Sept. 25 - Mrs.. Anna
Jack, of Pennington, is again suffering ex-
cruciating pain from the presence of pins in
her stomach, and her physician thinks an
other pin will soon work its way out through
the flesh. 1t is a peculiar case. Nearly a
year ago Mrs. Jack attended her husband
almost constantly. He suffered from dropsy
and finally died.
Mrs. Jack sat up at night renewing the
bandages on his limbs and placed the pins
from the bandages in her mouth. Uncon.
sciously she swallowed many of them. A
few months later she became ill and coughed
up a quantity of pins. Since that time, at
intervals, II pins have worked their way out
OF her stomach through the flesh. She suffers
terribly at times and is critically i'll now. 1t
is feared there are other pins in her system.
Some OF the pins have come out in pieces

A FRAUD OF A CONSUL FIRED,
He Got His Job Under False Representatio
and Kept 1t the Same Way.


WASHINGTON, Sept 25.-It is stated at the
Department of State that Edmund johnson
has been removed from consulate at Kehl,
Germany, for false representations as to his
military service and for fraudulent practices
as Consul. The case has been under investi-
CATION by Secretary of State Foster for the
past month and definite action was taken
yesterday. Mr.. johnson was first appointed
to the consulate in 1872, has at various times
undergone investigation, and was once re-
moved, but soon afterward re-entered the
service, and has maintained his position
upon the representation that he was re-
peatedly wounded at various battles during
the Civil War and was thereby greatly inn
paired in health.
Recent charges as to his accounts and
official conduct led to an Investigation of
his military SERVICE which showed that his
army record was bad, that he was not in the
service at the time and did not participate
in the battles as alleged, and that the claim
made as to his wounds was entirely un-
founded. He WIS also found to be guilty of
presenting fraudulent accounts as Consul.

THE New York Sun draws from reports
concerning the condition of robins, rae
coons, snipes, blacksnakes. swallows and
woodchucks the augury that it is going to
be a mild winter. At the same time it ar
CUES from the activity of Senator Hill the
strong conclusion that it will be hot
autumn politically. Considering the frigidi-
ty of the Hill argument that the Calhoun
plank on the tariff means tariff for Incl
dental protection, it is permitted to infer
that, if the autumn temperature is any guide
to the winter that will follow, next Decem-
Der, January and February will be a season
of billiards.
