The Argus and the Presidents Message.

TO the Editor of the Press:
As an independent voter wish to call
your attention to some Ito say the least)
very harsh criticisms of the President
and his message in today's issue of the
Argus. F,om purely American stand
point it is certainly timely, well writ
ten and patriotic utterance. The Argus
criticism is quite in line with the policy
of its party which has always delighted
in every opportunity to abuse and slander
the leaders of the Republican party, in
Guiding Lincoln, Grant, Charles Sumner
and Blaine.
During residence of several years in
the South | heard such remarks freely
made, and, at hotel in st. Augustine,
Fli., heard one of the leaders of the
party attempting to justify the assassin
alton of President Lincoln.
When they failed to down Charles
Sumner in argument they tried to club
him to death in the United States Sem
ate.
am not in sympathy with the Repub-
lican party, but thank God that we
have a fighting Boutelle in Congress and
I wish that we had more of them.

How shall we make a

get for Christmas. Each

you'd like to remember

Well help you.
Begin with the man,

and the list of things de-
signed specially for h m
is shorter than all the
others. And here's a bit
of wise advice from the
Home Journal, "A man
is an exceedingly peculiar
being in many respects.
If he is anything he is
practical, and this is par
ticularly true of him in
the matter of Christmas
presents. The first thing
that occurs to a mans
mind when he receives a
present is show can I use
it," The purely ornamen-
tai is with him, as a rule,
only Of passing interest.
The wise woman is she
who in seleetinga present
thinks of the practical
man rather than of the
other sort"
He'd like a Smoking
Jacket, a lounging coat
or a dressing gown, any
of these will add to his

would be sure to please

Negroes Not in IT,
NEW YORK. Aug l6 A crucial test
of the policy of the government was made
yesterday when Heidelbeck, Ickelheimer
& Co.. who are looked upon as the best
example of small profit gold expo rters.
Endorsed 81 900 0Oc of treasury notes which
were issued on account of silver purchase,
and demanded for them 81 900, 90 in gold
for shipment to Germany by today's
steamers. The treasury officials made no
demur but paid out the 100000 gold in
exchange for treasury notes, and the gold
was carried away and put on the steamer.
The transaction excited some comment. as
no home institution or home banking firm
has ever in the history of the govern
ment made like demand on the treas
ury, and in some quarters an impression
prevailed that the exporting firm took
this step not to take the profit on the ship
ment, which in itself is too insignificant
for a banking firm to consider, but really
for the purpose of forcing crisis.
VIII Pay Gold On Demand.
Assistant treasurer Roberts was at the
sub-rreasury while the gold for Germany
was being carted away. He admitted that
it was the first time that such demand had
been made although gold has heretofore
been given partly for old and partly for
new trea sury notes. He said in reply to a
question mo steps have been taken by
the administration to prevent or obstruct
the export of gold. The government stands
ready to meet all its obligations In gold
and will pay them all in gold Its free
gold balance now amounts to S1l2, 900, O0O."
BY this statement of treasurer Roberts, it
is clear that the government has already
decided on plan to pay all the silver
treasury notes in gold if it is demanded.
A Bank Officiaps opinion.
Vice President Cannon, of the Fourth
National bank, said he did not think that
the gold surplus would be reduced at
present, but that it would be increased in
stead. as the treasury is now receiving
gold from the eastern banks for trans
shipment to the west, and in the west is
paying out currency on account of these
shipments BY this step last year the
government increased its gold holdings

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug 10 The east
Tennessee miners are again on the wa,
path. About o'clock yesterday morning
800 of them. heavily armed, marched into
Inman, a little mining town in Sequatchie
valley. Their object was well known and
citizens packed up and hed. The mob
went to the coal mines and captured the
seventeen guards, marched them to the
stockadas and put them under guard. The
27f convicts who were at work were then
taken to Victoria, little village nearby,
packed in box cars and started to Nash
willie. The telegraph wires had been cut
and pickets had been posted as to pre-
vent interference with the business.
Shot at and Whipped Courier.
Clarence Livingston, who had been sent
from Whitewell at midnight to notify the
lnman authorities that danger was near,
was discovered by pickets. His horse was
shot from under him as he tried to pass
on and bear the message entrusted to his
care, and he was caught and whipped. At.
this time no damage was done to property,
but they returned in the afternoon and
partly destroyed the stockade and houses.
The Sheriff Gives 1t Up.
The sheriff of Marion county telegraph
ed to the governor last evening in reply to
the message ordering him to sum-
mon assistance and arrest members of the
mob, that he was helpless and could do
nothing. The governor has not indicated
what further steps he will take, but says
he will go to the full limit of the law. He
can only order out troops when called
upon by sheriff for aid, and then the
memb ers of the militia must be sworn in
by the sheriff as civil officers.
Further Vandalism mmitted.
The miners at Tracy City yesterday
morning pulled the coke ovens out OF the
ground and destroyed them, which is I'M
told damage. They say the mines shall
never again be operated unless by free
labor. Tom Corrich. who led the miners
at Tracy, was leader of the same crowd at
Inman yesterday morning. Coal Creek, it
is said is their next objective point. A
bloody battle is expected, as the 200 sol
diers at the garrison will fight.
Fault of the Legislature.
The convicts from lnman arrived here
last night and were put in the states
prison. AS there are over 900 and only
Accommodations for 700 they are packed
away like sardines in box. Mr.. Baxter.
vice president of the Tennessee Coal, Iron
and Railroad company, said yesterday:
"The company is willing to surrender its
lease contract and leave the state free to
make such disposition of the convicts
the state authorities may deem best. The
company offered this to the last extra
session of the general assembly, but
action was taken upon 1t. This offer has
stood open TO the state authorities since
that date and is now open to them"

THEY CALL FOR A BOYCOTT.
A. A. 1. :. W. Demands Rejected by the
Manufacturers.

PITTSBURG, Aug. l6.-The Amalgamated
association committees which are calling
on the manufacturers TO close up the scale
agreement are all demanding that boy
colt OF Carnegie's products be made part
of the contract. At j. Painter & Sons,
and the Republic Iron works the men
were firmly told that the boycott feature
would have TO be left out or the firms
would be compelled to operate the mills
as non-union hereafter. After brief con-
sultation the committee agreed to with
draw the boycott demand.
VIII Fight 1t in the Courts.
A member of the Carnegie firm said
yesterday that if any of the manufactur-
ers agreed to the demands being made
for a boycott such action would immedi-
ately bring the matter into the courts,
were suits FOR conspiracy would be enter
ed. He said, however, that they did not
believe they would meet with any trouble
on this account. ''The Federation of
Labor" said he, have declared that our
output is so 'inconsequential' and bad
that it is not worth boycotting, and so
long as they. take this cheerful view of
the matter both sides, / am sure, will be
contented."
