THB TRUTH OF II.
Is There Any Limit to Human
Endurance?
A Revelation Which Will Astonish MOST
People.
And Yet 1t Is In Reality OF Every
Day Occurrence.

The following communication is from
one of our correspondents, Mrs. carrie f.
Martin, a lady well known and highly re-
spected and who occupies position OF the
highest social distinction In West Leyden,
Mass. Her experience is OF such nature
and it's Importance TO many Is great ana
far-reaching, that we give it to our readers
in her own words:
"Last summer was all run down, had
chills, no appetite, very little sleep nights
and none days, faint spells, trembling feei-
ings and was so weak | could hardly Walk
around the room. continued TO run down
in health and strength until feared utter
nervous prostration with its untold mis-
cries.

morning, but went only few rods and had
to come home. My husband then went 70

THAT'S WHAT CHAUNCEY SAYS.
He Feels Sure Harrison Will Succeed Him
self-Gets Himself Interviewed.

CHICAGO, October 24.-Chauncey M.
Depew has submitted to be interviewed
on the political situation and this is the
result:
go, Harrison will be elected. The
thing that gives me more confidence In
Harrison's election than any is the gen
eral apathy among the public, general
apathy helps the party in power. 1t
shows the people don't want any change.
When you have great excitement, 1t
means that the people are excited and
want change. The country Is
unusually prosperous. The Amer
lean people are peculiarly
fond Of leaving we'll enough alone for
certain period and then they want
change, just for the sake OF a
change. They don't care whether they
are worse of or better off, they want a
change. That is what put the Republic
can party out Of power and brought in
Mr.. Cleveland. They were not any bet
ter of under Cleveland than they were
under Arthur and they have been better
off under Harrison than they were I'M
der Cleveland. The country has been
more prosperous. or course the Demo
Gratis say that is a purely provldential
accident. We say it is McKinleY-Mc-
Kinleyism.
"Then our Democratic friends have
just now, II they are to stand by their
platform, made radical proposition to
the country by declaring that all rev.
enue laws which protect unconstitu-
tional, which means that they will re-
peal all revenue laws which protect and
have only those which are necessary
for revenue, if they should get the
Senate and House OF representatives..
If we had been having hard times, X
there had been panic in the country
and hundreds of thousands Of people
out of employment, the Democrats on
such platform would sweep the coun-
try, because the country would be
ready for any experiment and would
say: we cannot be any worse of than
we are,' but when people are well off
they don't try experiments.

LABOR's VIEW OF 1T.

The Democratic National Committee
has called upon the Republican National
Committee to furnish the names of the
manufacturers who furnished PECK's
figures. The names, according TO dis
patch, have been given, but although in
its response the Republican committee
defends PECK, it carefully refrains from
giving any details.
Discussing PEcK's report, which pro-
fesses to show that wages have been
raised in the State Of New York, the
Labor Tribute, OF Pittsburg, which GER
tainly cannot be accused of political
bias, criticlses the american Man1tJact-
urtr for UNFOLDING PECK for refusing in
to reveal the source of the informa-
ton on which he based his re-
port. "a statistician," says the Labor
Tribute, "who is without guile-such as
the editor of the American MddrUGc-
tltrer, for instance-need have no fear
that correspondence he has secured
upon promise that names shall not be
published, will be demanded by any
considerable number OF reputable per-
sons. But when a statiStican upon
whom so much reasonable and serious
doubt is cast as is upon Mr.. PECK, of
New York, is the man under discussion,
we are OF the opinion that he should be
compelled to show his hands; and the
fact that our amiable cotemporary is so
good himself that he cannot cOmpre-
bend that another statistician would
garble report aud burn the documents
upon which said report was based, only
accentuates the heavenly attributes of
the editor Of the Manufacturer, while
il doesn't help PECK's case In the
slightest" The Tribune continues:
When a condensation Of the New York
report for 1891 came out the Labor Tribune
condemned il as unreliable, and this was
weeks before the press generally began the
criticism. Since the report in full has been
received a glance az 10 suggests that the

QUITE A HAIR RAISER.
O. S. Deputy sIarshais Have an Exciting
Meeting with Moonshiners.


ATLANTA, GA, October 24.-From
Franklin county comes q curious STORY
of an explosion in which six men were
concerned, two deputy marshals and
four moonshiners. The cause was ten
gallons of rum and roaring distlllery
fire.
Friday morning United States Deputy
Marshals Spence and Reynolds spotted
a still In Franklin county. Everything
showed that the still had been worked
recently. The still was in an open cave
or pit at the bottom OF deep ravlne,
the furnace smoke stack showing ieVei
with the ground.
The deputies remained near by, ana
Just at dusk the moonshiners began 10
come to the still. The first man built
fire In the furnace, and at 9 O'Clock
seven moonshiners were making sing
lings and running doublings and carry
ing off slops.
Just as the seven workers announced
their intention Of quitting work for the
night, the deputies covered them Win
their guns. Two Of the moonsniners
who were standing on the hillside, mace
a dash for the woods and escaped. Inc
other five, however, standing In the
light of the dstillery fire, were unable
to tell just how many deputies were
surrounding them, so gave up without
q fight, although their guns were
stacked within arms reach.
Deputy Reynolds stood at the open
ing of the excavation, the only avenue
of escape, guarding the men, whlie
Spence destroyed the machinery. Inc
two men who escaped were carrying
keg OF rum, but in their haste left IL
behind. Spence knocked the head out
of the keg and accidentally overturned
it. Down into the furnace went the
rum, keg and all. A moment later
there was terrific explosion. Deputy
Marshal Spence was hurled upward ana
backward and found resting place In
a clump Of bushes.
The keg was blown out OF the chin
ney and all ablaze rolled down the NIL
toward the already frightened deputy
who was guarding the moonshiners. AT
the same time food of blazing whisky,
shooting flames fifteen feet high, pour
ed out of the furnace. The moonshiners
broke and ran to escape the mysterious
fire, and for a few minutes six scared
men were budding together watching
the fire die out. The seventh man, one
OF the moonshiners, never lost his pres
ence of mind, but quickly put himself
into a state of absence OF body.

Ernress Robbers Iescape.

New York, October PA special from
Orlando, Fla, says there is excitement
here over the escape Of the train roboer
prisoners early Saturday morning, espe-
cially since the facts seem TO point not to a
forcihle escape by the prisoners but to
"free delivery" by some Of the officers or
their assistants. Three-fourths Of the peo-
pie believe that somebody was bribed to
let Futch and Floyd out of jail.
An official of the Southern Express Com
pany, whose car the robbers held up and
whose messenger they killed, said last
night: "Our people are doing nothing to
effect the recapture Of the robbers; we ran
the whole gang down within week from
the committing of the crime, two or three
of them having been killed while resisting
arrest. This costs US many thousands OF
dollars besides the rewards that we paid.
Now il the Orange county officers cannot
keep the robbers after we captured them
for the county, then we wash our hands OF
the affair"

To Bring out the Vote.

CHICAGO October 24-Both the Republi-
can and Democratic State Committees are
working hard TO bring out their full regis
tration. The Republican Committee has
sent out twenty-five thousand postal card
notices during the past twenty-four hours
to Republicans who have not yet registered
in their respective precincts, notifying
them that they may register tomorrow be-
tween the hours of s a. m. and 9 p. N.
These cards also bear the notification to
the unregistered Republicans, that If they
do not register tomorrow they cannot
vote. In addition 10 the cards. other cards
of modification will be served on some OF
the voters. Hundreds will also be notified
personally, and IN some wards conveyances
win be sent after the indolent or inArm
voters TUESDAY,

Yesterday the Intclligencer published
the most gigantic lie Of the campaign.
II was to the effect that the Quay
Atkinson-McLean- Elkins-Smith ct al
scheme to COLOMBO West Virginia with
negroes from the "black belt" Of the
South lCas originated and concOcted by
Senator CHARLES j. FAULKNERl
According to the Hltellige1acer, the
proof is positive, but when we read the
article we fail to see the proof. There
is not letter or line In the whole
mass of alleged correspondence that is
from Senator FAULKNER. nor line
that shows ne was connected with it.
In fact, it is an ingenious lie from be-
ginning to end.
Senator FAULKNER is not the kind OF
man to engage in that sort of political
work.
The REGISTER at late hour yester-
day was able to reach Senator FAULK-
NER, who is in Writ county, by wire.
His response to q very brief outline OF the
Intelligencer's publication will be found
in our dispatches this morning. An
other dispatch from Charleston is alone
a sufficiently crushing reply to this in
famous scheme to discredit and dis
honor Senator FAULKNER-a scheme
that bears all the ear-marks OF STEVE"
ELKINs' handiwork.
ELKINs was in town last week located
not far from the InteIltCencer office.
Is 1t not strange that it has taken the
Republican managers two years to dis
cover all this?
The truth is, the exposure OF their
infamous scheme to COLOMBO this State
with negroes from North Carolina
hurts the Republican party in West
Virginia, and It hurts 1t bad.
The InteLligepcer's publication dis
proves itself. LINDSEY, according to
his own affidavit and the letters Of
QUAY, HUSTON, MCLEAN, was not in
troduced to Senator FAULKNER until a
year or so after the colonization scheme
had been batched. HOlC, then, could
Senator Faulkner hGUe had anything to
do Nth Il, or any connection lcith Lind
sen IN he natter
Tit desperate game the Republi-
cans are playing this year, and on their
side truth and honor are at discount.
SQUIRE BILL PHILIPS mission to West
Virginia is completed and the Seattle
Press Times is holding the bag. PHILIPS
was here about three weeks ago, and
while at Grafton he looked up HENRY
J. SNIvELY's record. SNIvELY, is the
Democratic candidate for Governor in
Washington. The Press published the
result of "SQUIRE BILLS" trip to
West Virginia. Now it has libel suit
for 500, 900 on hand.

tUo tables one showing the total increase
or decrease of wages in each industry, and
another showing thefincrease or decrease
in the earnings Of each emplOyein the same
industry. Bearing in mind that the num-
Der Of employees has remained unchanged
(this extraordinary circumstance having
been mechanically demonstrated oy Mr..
Peck, let US see how these two tables
compare:
In awnings, flags, etc, each workman
received an increase Of S3l 50; and yet.
taken altogether, the same number OF
men received Sill 900 less than the year
before.
In bricks, tiles, etc, each workman re-
ceiyed an increase of Sl5 50; yet, when
they collectively counted their receipts at
the end of the year, they were worse Oh
by sl0l, 597.
Each clockrnaxer received an increase OF
50 Is, and vet, somehow or other, their
total income was reduced by $24,OOO.
Each lumberman received $l7 "a more
wages, and yet they lost among them
Sl07, 42l.
Each shipbuilder received an increase
OF S9S S., and yet all combined they mAn-
aged TO lose SIP, $50.
The same extraordinary circumstance
occurs in several other industries. The
larger the amount of wages PAID, the
smaller appear to have been the incomes OF
the workmen. Surely either this man Is a
miracle maker, or else a garbler OF ngureS
for political effect, as is so widely alleged
against him. By this time the reader Will
begin TO suspect it is better to have ones
wages reduced than increased. Ano sure
enough, MIR. Peck proves that 1t Is; Tor ne
shows that there has been consloeraole
reduction in the wages OF men engaged III
electrical
chinery, scientific instruments, toys ana
dolls, with the result that their income has
been largely increased. The arms makers,
for example were enriched $4,000 by cut
of 5 per cent. in their weekly wages. Re
member Mr.. Peck's irfallible figure OF 49,
600 workInen in all the sixty-eight indus
tries On this basis rest all his calula-
lions. II there were even 10000 more Peck
would 90 to pieces. There could be no
more, for Peck himself hath said 1t. Yet,
strange to say, dividing the total increase
of wages (or the reverse) by the average
amount OF wages coming to each hano, MI.
Peck's figures prove that IN ten only OF the
sixty-eight industries there must have
been over $4,000 workmen receiving
wages. In the foregoing we have gone
through only ten Of his sixty-eight hgures.
What the fifty-eight remainder show we
don't know and have not time to discover,
but we are certain that the ten cited demon
onstrate that, while one part Of Mr.. Peck's
report makes it impossible that there
should have been more than $4,000 hands
employed, another part of the same report
proves that there are at least 1901 Does
the American Manufacturer see naught IN
all this to throw doubt on the statistician,
and. in the interests of honest statisticians,

is from a trusted national organ OF the
workingmen, a paper that has far bet
