BURGESS MCLUCKIE who, next to
Hugh O'Donnell. has been the most
prominent in the Homestead labor
troubles, is under arrest accused
with murder, and warrants are out
for several other lea ers. The war
rants we're sworn out by the Score
tary of the Carnegie Company, and
the deaths of two men are thus
declared to be due to the action OF
the accused. 1t is not unlikely that
the workmen will cause the arrest OF
the Carnegie Company and of the
leaders of the Pinkertons upon a
similar charge.

HERE is another illustration OF
how the tariff does not result in
strikes. The section men on the
Wabash Railroad in Illinois, thought
they were not receiving enough
wages. They accordingly demand
ed more and were refused. Then
they struck. By the logic OF the
Free Traders their strike must be
due to the fact that they live in a
Protection country; but nothing
could be farther from the truth
than that conclusion. The tariff
hasn't the first thing to do with the
case. 1t is not even incidentally
involved. There is no duty on
what they make and none on what
they expect to make. 1t is Just a
plain, every day case of conflict of
differing classes, and a thousand
tariffs or thousand Free Trade
laws could not change it an iota.
This is the case with the Homestead
strike, with the strike at Hughes &
Patterson's mill in Philadelphia and
with the strike OF the granite cutters.
1t is the case with every other strike
of recent years.

The only State in the South pos
sibly where the Republicans have
chance OF success this year in
straight out fight against the Demo-
cratic party is West Virginia. The
Republican vote in that State has
been steadily on the increase since
1876. and four years ago came with
in little more than FIVE hundred of
having majority, Cleveland polling
1857 and Harrison 1911. The
Republican leaders believe that they
can win the State for Harrison this
year, and they are already preparing
tor an aggressive campaign. They
are anxious to nominate Secretary
of War Elkins tor Governor, and. if
EIkins should consent, they would
probably have at least good fight
ing chance of carrying it. They
have an effective organization, which
the Republicans have in no other
Southern State, and the Protection
issue is particularly strong there.
Even in the disastrous compaign OF
1890 their vote was only 5000 less
than they polled in 1888 The six
electoral votes OF West Virginia are
worth fighting for, and, if the same
proportion OF increasing strength in
the Presidential elections of the past
sixteen years is maintained this year,
they can be won. 1t will be waste
of time and money for the National
Committee to give special attention
to any other Southern State. 1t is
true that the Peoples party is doing
much loud talking in the Carolinas,
in Alabama and in Florida, but
whatever may be the results in those
State, there is no likelihood of the
election of Republican Presidential
electors.

Inter State Convention of the
EaW9rth League.

Inter State Convention of the
EaW9rth League.
The Interstate convention of the Ep
worth League met at Mountain lake
Park, Md, on Tuesday. Rain fell nearly
all nearly all day and interfered materi-
ally with the attendance at the session Of
the convention. An organization was
effected with Rev. G. T. Weede, of
Baltimore, President; Rev. S. B. Bently,
of Pennsylvan mia, secretary, and Rev. L.
A. Rudisill. supt of the Park, treasurer.
The morning session was devoted to dis.
cussing call for a meeting of members
of the Epworth League of the fourth
General Conference district of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church to effect a per-
manent organization of the district. Rev
DR.. Riker, of Wheeling, Rev. W. W.
VanArsdale of Maryland, Rev. E. B.
Bently of Pennsylvania, and Rev. L. A.
Rudisill were appointed committee to
consider the subject and report to the
convention tomorrow.
Rev. DR.. A. B. Riker, pastor of Fourth
Street Church of Wheeling, read a paper
on "The Epworth League as Denomin-
ational Necessity" The Doctor said
the Societies of Christian Endeavor had
in ten years from thirty denominations
enrolled ten thousand societies, while
the Epworth League had from single
denomination in three years organized
seven thousand five hundred chapters.
He said the power Of the Methodist
Episcopal Church was centralized. The
sixteen bishops are in touch with the
fifteen thousand ministers and see them
all once year. These ministers are in
contact with the millions of memb ers,
and the Epworth League will bring the
young people in contact with the min
lister and bishop.
Rev. DR.. Earl Cranston, of Cincinnati,
delivered an able address to the con
vention commencing the Epworth
League in the strongest terms. He said
we live in time when there is premium
on intelligence. Education is necessary
for the perpetuity of good govern
ment. Intelligence is the first demand
of the age and the next is skill. A man
ought to be able to tell why he is a
Christian, and if he be II Methodist, to
tell why he is Methodist. In order to do
this the young people should be in
structed not only in the doctrines and
discipline, but also in the history of the
Methodist Church. This sort of educa
ton the Epworth League will furnish
the young people. He wanted all the
members as part of their oath of
allegiance to swear eternal hatred to the
liquor traffic. DIR. Riker presented a
second paper on the best way to organize
an Epworth League.

ONE of the most Interesting of the
census bulletins that have been sent
out is that which gives an analysis of
the homicide cases in 1890 and makes
comparison with those of 1880.
Never before in this country was the
subject treated so deliberately, and its
study will doubtless have an important
effect upon the general question of
homicide as well as upon the question
of capital punishment in the United
States.
The figures show that of the Sage
prisoners in the United States on June
I, 1890, 1886, or S.o7 per cent were
charged with homicide. OF this number
4,425 were whites, 2,73o negroes, "a
Chinese, oa Indians and I Japanese.
Of the 4,425 whites 1857 were born
in the United States and 1913 are
known to be of foreign birth. Of the
latter more than one half were Immature
lized, and nearly one fifth were unable
to speak the English language. Con-
sidering the small foreign population
as compared to the native population,
it will readily be seen that the percent
e of homiciG~esses among the former
zines greater than 1t is among
s born.
s 2 the increase in population
y ." 40 to 1890 was only 1886 per
the increase in the number of
sons held for murder was 1888
- cent, but this in great measure is
--~r lained by the long term of imprison
ment many of them are serving, in
consequence of which the majority of
those reported in 1880 are again report
ed in 1890. Still that there is an
increase in actual homicide cases is
plain.
What makes it particularly interest
ing is The fact that in Rhode Island,
: Michigan and Wisconsin, the only
States in which the death penalty has
been abolished by law, there was no
marked increase in the percentage OF
murder cases, while IN some of the
States where capital punishment is
enforced the increase was very large.
This is particularly true of Arizona,
Colorado, North and South Dakota,
Florida and some other of the Southern
and Western States. The smallest
ratio of homicides was in Delaware with
Sc, and the largest was In Arizona with
goo. In Nevada the ratio was 500.
In the actual number of murders Texas
leads with 1870 and Pennsylvania.
though second in point of population,
stands tenth with " ..<.io of S.. As a
fair comparison between States few
facts are given. Although Ohio has a
population of 3,672,3I6 and Missis-
sippi only has 2,IS9, 600, the number
of homicide cases is the same. This is
true of Oregon and Arizona, although
the former has nearly six times the
population of the latter, and of New
Hampshire with 376,53o, and Utah
with 2o7,eo5.
