since the announcement was made some
weeks since thai General Adlai E. Steven
son- Democratic candidate for Vice Presi-
dent. would visit this State in the interest
NJ the Democratic party, the htelligencer
and other Republican papers have, through
their editorial and news columns, put torth
sverv effort to counteract any good effects
that his visit might have. These euorS
have not been confined 70 a true statement
Of the principles General Stevenson repre-
sents nor 70 an honest exposition OF his rec
ord as q public man or private citizen. On
the contrary, the publications have been
tissue Of falsehoods from beginning to end
and have been invented from day to day.
The IntsHigeacer has devoted most OF us
attention to attacks upon General Steven
sons record as an employer Of labor and
the head Of one of the most successful min
inc industries in Illinois. Yesterday, that
pauer contained nearly five columns o.
abuse and Misrepresentation Of General
Stevenson, consisting entirely OF letters
written BY Republicans in Illinois 10 men OF
thesaue stampin Wheeling. The wheeling
men to whom these letters are addressed
are active, working Republicans, who had
at heart, the forwarding of the Republican
cause and not the cause Of labor when they
wrote, not to present officials Of the Illinois
Miners, Union, but to an ex-oficial who IS
a Republican, for information, or rather
nisinformation-
Fortunately the REGISTER secured IN ed-
vance information Of what the Ints'.tgeneeT s
publication would contain, AID was able to
put Democrats on guard AMI refute II the
same day it was published. Not satisfied
with this, however, the REGISTER wired It's
Columbus, Ohio, correspondent to call on
John Mcbride, President OF the United

from him an unbiased, non-partisan state

graced their works; they always paid
their men in cash. Having for years volun-
tarily carried out the provisions Of two
laws, it didn't require a great sacrifice to
obey the third, and this they cheerfully did.
They now pay their men in cash weekly
and have no stores, and coal is weighed be-

law demanded by our organization.

200 houses, each having garden plot OF
from half 10 an acre OF ground. Instead
of charging high rent like others, he
sold tho houses and lots TO the miners,
taking a fair rental in payment, and the
result is that ninety per cent. Of his miners
own their own homes.

present aspect Of affairs here mas led many
good citizens to believe that peace has once
more been established and that the distutb-
ing element have been brought to realize the
reign of disorder only injured the cause OF
the locked out men aud those who are
awaiting their trial at court. The locked
out men. however, still maintain that their
chances for winning the strike are of an
exceedingly rosy hue, and that only time
will be required to accomplish that end.
They still base their claim on the amount
and quality of material turned out at the
plant and say that the mill cannot be oper-
ated successfully with the class of men
now employed by the company,
That there is a state of uneasiness exist
ing inside the mill fence there seems to be
no reason to doubt, but whether the men
will desert the works in body is question
no one at present can answer.

PURE ICE.
Made by Mechanical Means 1t 10 Frce From

Made by Mechanical Means 1t 10 Frce From
Impurities.
There seems to be some question
in Ahe minds of those who are not well
informed on this subject as to the puri.
ty of ice made by mechanical means,
but any person who has carefully stud.
led the subject will be able to immedi.
ately remove these false and erroneous
impressions. Artificial ice is made
practically as follows:
The water is converted into steam in
the boilers and from thence conveyed
through pipes into steam filter, where
as many of the impurities as can be re-.
moved from the steam are eliminated.
The steam then goes into the condenser
and the water thus condensed flows
through another filter into Swimming
tank, where any impurities carried
over by the mechanical force of tho
steam are skinned from the surface.
The water then is again reboile1 and
skinned and then in turn passes
through two more filters especially dc.
signed and arranged, after a due an.
alysis has been made of the water to
be purified, in order that the foreign
substances dissolved in the water may
be thoroughly eliminated
From these filters the water passes
into cooling tank, and to make assur-
ance doubly sure, before entering the
freezing cans passes through another
filter. The cans are closed so that
there is no possibility of the pure water
being contaminated, and as it takes but
about forty-eight hours to convert the
water into ice, it must of necessity be
chemically pure product National
