The next day they disappear, and if they
fail TO reach their objective points in week
or 10 days it is because they have had bad

In the foregoing dialogue the word work
occurs occasionally and demands cxplana-
tion. This is the way the hobo puts it,
I'VE see trampsa bloke wot won't work
an never did work, an hobo's n guy wot
works sometimes, but amt never stuck on
it. An den Wen you meets one NV yer own
kind ye feels like old pals, cause he calls
ye 'Ho' an yc calls him DO Seef''
Instead of alternating in the great cities
as the tramps do, the hobo gravitates south
ward and works i'll desultory fashion on
the levees, wandering from one camp to
another until the springtime sends him
northward The following conversation is
sample of an evenings gossip around the
campfire:

Judge King said as Mr.. Spindle was
only charged with fighting in the street
there would be no objection to postpone

UNIONTOWN STEEL WORKS
To Go Under the Hammer--$7,O 200 in
Bonds FOreclOsed.

UNIoNTowN, Pa, Nov. 13.-The
plant of the Columbia Iron and Steel
company will be sold in a short time
unless some bond holders are bought
off. Bonds to the extent of $1,000,
held by the Dollar Savings Bank OF
Pittsburg and controlled by the Safe
Deposit and Trust company of the
same place, have been foreclosed and
an attempt will be made to force the
property to sale. A reporter called
on Joseph M. Oglevee to day regard
ing the matter but he would not
make public who is the owner of the
bonds and the parties forcing the
sale. The only information he would
give was that the bonds were held
by the Dollar Savings Bank and that
the foreclosure was made through
the Safe Deposit and Trust company.
Unless some one buys off the bonds
the property will be advertised aud
sold. 1t is the opinion of persons
here who are interested in the com.
pany that the second mortgage bond
holders will fall in line with the first
and will foreclose their bonds. If
this is done there will be nothing to
save the property being sold.

A Fair Statement.

The Washington Post, consis.
tently Independent paper makes the
following fair statement:
Naturally there will be Republi
can tendency to claim all the glory
for the party which was defeated a
year ago, but although some of this
partisan exultation may be reason
ably founded, any sweeping conclu-
sion as to Democratic humiliation
would be unfair to the thousands
of the better class Democrats who
yesterday went to the polls and
voted against bossism without re-
gard for their parrish inclinations.
In narrow sense the ballots tell
a story of popular lack of confidence
in those who last November were
elected to control national affairs
reflect the distrust and discomfort
that spring naturally from the ad-
verse financial and mercantile con-
ditions which have been so uncom-
fortably manifest during the past six
months--but it is safe to say that
similar expressions would have been
heard had these conditions appeared
during Republican administration.
As an indication of what may be ex-
pected, either in the Congressional
election in 1894 or the presidential
election in 1896, yesterdays figures
are not Of great Importance, but as
testimony to the strength Of silent
majority of decent American citizens
when they weary of chooses" and
rings" they are invaluable.

THE ELECTIONS.


There we're some elections last
Tuesday. For the most part these
elections we're held in Republican
states. As s result the expected
happened-in some cases little
more SO than was expected. The re-
suits are contradictory TO the princi-
Piles applied, however, for the bust
ness depression, the direct result OF
Republican legislation, was probably
the main cause for considerable OF
the victory for our friends the other
fellows. In most states though the
issues were local, where people were
tired of ring rule. The elections this
year have no significance on the next
presidential contest Here is about
the most important parts of il:
New York has gone Republican by
about $4,000 and the Legislature OF
that State is Republican. The nom
ination of Maynard for Judge and
the boss methods of Hill, Croker,
Sheehan and Murphy did it.
Governor Mckinley carries Ohio
by 10000 plurality over Neal and
has 10000 clear majority over ALL
Iowa again swings back into the
Republican ranks; that gallant Dem
ocrat, Governor Boise, being defeat
ed by about $4,000 plurality.
Massachusetts follows suit and
elects Republican Governor by
about 10000.
Old Virginia is all right. She
elects O'Ferrall, Democrat, Govern
or by about $4,000 and the LegisIa-
ture is largely Democratic.
The local elections in Kansas show
heavy Republican gains over the
Populists.
The Pophlists also have a streak
of silver in the dark cloud. They
elected Supreme Judge in Nebraska
by 5000 plurality.
Pennsylvania has only given about
$4,000 Republican majority and
everybody is wondering what in the
thunder the Republicans will do
there next.
In Colorado the most important
question was the adoption of woman
suffrage. 1t has carried by about
$500.
Maryland has gone Democratic by
her usual majority and Latrobe the
ling candidate is re elected Mayor of
Baltimore
South Dakota is Republican.
About 10000 votes were cast and
rs per cent. of them are Republican.
The voters of Ohio knew that
Gov. McKinley's election or defeat
would have no bearing on national
legislation, This is evident from
the fact that Ohio came within
about |, 900 votes of going Democrat
ic last year, when its votes meant
the decision of these very issues.
Republicans claim it as an endorse
ment Of McKinley's tariff policy,
but it is not, any more than the
great Republican victory in New
York, which is simply a revolt
against the machine methods Of the
Democratic party in that State, and
whose purpose and effect are purely
local. Mckinley himself made the
campaign of his life because veto
ry puts him at the head of the list
of Republican possibilities for 1896,
though he banked ON great I'M
certainty, since there will be many
change in conditions and in the
sentiment in the Republican party
between now and $50 which may
leave Mckinley and his tariff high
and dry out of the political swim.
