Vermont Granite Firms Tell the Cutters
Some Unwe1come News.
Barre, vt, August 9.-The granite
firms held largely attended meeting
Tuesday night to discuss the situation
and the advisability OF shutting down
the works. The cashiers of the local
banks stated to the dealers that it would
be impossible to secure currency and I'M
less relief was soon afforded it would be
necessary to suspend cash payments.
This morning many dealers informed
the cutters of this condition and told
them that they could work and get their
pay when the manufacturers have cash,
otherwise they would have to leave
work. Some members of the union
claim that such an arrangement cannot
be made without vote of the local
union. The majority say they will
stand by the dealers. Today about 90
mon were discharged by six firms.

TALKS or RIOT.
Carter Harrison's Latest Which will
Alarm Only Himself.
GOOD NEWS FOR NINE THOUSAND
MILL OPERATIVES.

A Rhode Island Concern Employing that
Number Will Start Up Monday-ver-
mont Granite Cutters Will Keep on
ChiselIing Stone and Wait for Their
Pay-other News of the Financial
Situation.
New York, August "a Chicago des-
patch to the Herald says:
A remarkable declaration was made
today by Mayor Carter Harrison. In an
address of welcome to the annual con-
vention of the military surgeons of the
National Guard of the United States he
said: "There are 100000 people in Chi
cago today unemployed and almost
destitute of money. If Congress does
not give us plenty of money we will have
riots that will shake the country"
I saw Mayor Harrison tonight in re-
gard to his assertion.
ssWhat is the real state of affairs here,
Mr.. Mayor" I asked.
81 am told by the leaders of the work
ingmen here,' said he, "that fully two
hundred thousand men are now unem-
ployed, and / have no reason to doubt its
truth. They will need bread this winter
for themselves and their families
.'What is to be done about it?"
Il don't know what can be done about
it. Congress may help in some way, but
/ don't see anything in Mr.. Cleyelands S
message that looks like aid to these
men,
DO you really think there will be
riots in Chicago this winter?''
'sHow can | tell? These men are out
of work and they will be desperate.
They don't want to see their families
starve and they must do something.
They can't all be fed and there's no
work for them that can see. 1t looks
as though there would be trouble this
winter, although we must hope for the
best.''
ssDo you think these men constitute a
dangerous element?"
s'Not in ordinary times, for when they
are employed they are good citizens.
But when they are unemployed and their
families are starving they may become
very dangerous people in the communi-
ty."
1t is possible the governor may call
an extra session of the legislature to
devise means to give relief in the way of
employment to the unemployed of the
state, particularly those in Chicago.

here.

A SMALL AND SELECT PARTY.
Free Silver Representatives Resolve to
Report Bill.


Washington, August 9.-The hall of
the House was closed shortly before IL
o'clock. and the friends of free silver be-
gan their caucus. The attendance was
small, and up to 1890 not more than so
members made their appearance. The
doorkeepers were instructed to notify
each member who applied for admission
that the meeting was confined to Stree
coinage members.
There was some unfavorable comment
at this peculiar instruction, and it was
argued that the result would be to keep
out of the caucus many members who
are lin a doubtful state of mind or are
not prepared to take an extreme posi-
ton. However that may be, it was no
ticeable fact that the attempt to draw
from both parties failed signally, for but
one Republican member, Mr.. Bowers of
California. ioined in the deliberations Of
the silver men.
Mr.. Culberson of Texas acted as chair
man of the caucus, which is the first of
it's kind that has been held in the House
for several years.
The caucus adjourned at 2.45 o'clock,
after having adopted the following reso-
lutions:
Resolved, That we will support e. biz repeal.
and concurrently providing for the free and ull-
limited coinage of silver. with full Legal tend er
quality, on such a ratio as will provide and
maintain the parity between gold and silver.
Be it further resolved, That a committee Of
seven be appointed by the chairman of this
conference to draft and introduce such BIZ II
free discussion and consideration thereon. and
a vote Of the House upon the bill and all proper
amendments.
The committee was appointed, consist
ing .of Messrs. Bland, Sibley, Boatner,
Lane, Bankhead, Bryan and Bailey, and
by vote of the caucus Judge Culberson
was added.
A motion was adopted, authorizing
the appointment of committee OF
''whips," one from each state, to canvas
the House and discover each members
standing upon the proposed bill, and see
that every friend of the measure is in
his seat, ready to vote when the time
comes.

IT WAS A HOT SHOT.
Democrats Confused by Mr.. Hale's
Demand for EARLY Action. (.
THEY SPENT HOURS YESTERDAY
IN A FRUITLESS CAUCUS.

Some of the Discussion Was Made Amin a.
ted by Sarcastic References to the
Presidents Message, but the Line of
Policy Did Not MateriaIize-The House
Free Silver Caucus Was Small and Se-
Iect, but Its Programme Is Ambitious.
Washington, August 9.-Almost every
Democratic Senator was present at the
party caucus held this morning, The
meeting was convened at 10 o'clock, and
when the hour of noon arrived nothing
definite had been accomplished, and an
adjournment was taken until immedi-
ately after the adjournment of the Sen
ate.
The resolution of Mr.. Hale (Rep.) yes
terday, which SO suddenly and unexpect-
Aedly brought the question of speedy re-
peal of the Sherman law before the SEN
ate, it was thought by some Democrats,
placed them in position where a con
ference became necessary in order that
the policy of the party might be dis
cussed and unanimity of action agreed
upon. As might be expected, with the
Democrats divided upon this subject as
are the Republicans, there was a diversi-
ty of opininion and a vast amount OF un-
important talk was indulged in, with the
inevitable result of nothing being deter
mined upon when the noon hour came
around. The discussion was decidedly
animated, and at times there was tinge
of sarcasm in the tones of those who
were inclined to look upon the attitude
of the President as defined in his mes
sage as being in opposition to the plat
form of the Democratic party. NO def
mite proposition was advanced, and
when the caucus adjourned it was just
as much at sea as when it was called to-
gether.
Immediately after the caucus numer-
Gus conferences were had between the
Democrats and free silver Republicans,
the result of which was apparent as soon
as the journal was read. A motion was
made to adjourn, and it was noticeable
that the siver Republicans voted with
the Democrats to carry out that propo-
sition. This was taken as an evidence
of a desire for time, and the caucus i'm
mediately reassembled. The caucus
adjourned after a session lasting about
twohours without reaching any conclu-
sion as to a line of policy. There was
strong difference of opinion respecting
/ the silver question and the caucus adj
| iourned to meet again in a few days.
Meanwhile the subject of siver repeal
will not figure in the Senate, for the pur-
| pose is to adjourn from tomorrow till
Monday.

Tho Horse that Pulls the piow Must
Have the Fodder.


Austin, Ga, Chronicle.
Senator Vance, of North
Carolina, has stated the doc
trine, to the victory belongs
the spoiIs, in a quaint, home
ly way which is peculiarly
hie own, but which goes home
to the understanding of all
his hearers, and finds hearty
endorsement. The b orse
that pulled the pillow must
have the fodder" was the ex-
prcssive language in which
he clothed the fam illiar doc
trine, and though Senator
Vance is being criticised by
some of the ultra civil SER
vice people, and called t h Q
spoils Senator, he has said
nothing which is not good
politics, and politics which
no party is strong enough
to disregard.
Mark you, be did not say
the horse that did not pull
the pillow shall be turned out
to starve, or shall not have
fodder. He only said what
the horse who did pull the
plow deserved. He leaves the
other horses to look out for
themselves. He is arguing
the case OF the horse who
worked, and W h o worked
where he ought to have wor-
ked. He believes, just as the
most of other people believe;
that the best things should
come to those who carried
the day, and snatched victo-
~ from the entrenched foe!
He does not say pnt them all
to thrsword and no quarter;
he only says look out for
our own men first, aud then
be generous to tho enemy:
Don't leave these sleek, fat
fellows who have had their
noses in the crib for years iri
possession of all the best pla-
:es, and divide up their leav:
ings among horses wlio pulls
ed the plow. Look out for
tho faithful fellows first, and
then discuss the fate of these
0 t her fellows afterwards.
They are mary Of them, no
doubt worthy Of consider "

ther in practical politics or
fair dealing. which entities
