Some OF these workingmen voted the

is afforded by the case Of Conrad Auth,

Whnrn e the NaW atation2

For over year the Pittsburgh.
Wheeling & Kentuckyrailway company
importuued the city council to grant it
SPACE at the north end Of the wharf for
a new station. After stubborn fight
against the grant by river men conn
promise was made to which all agreed,
and which the railroad company
accepted. That has been some time
ago, now, and yet there is not sign Of
preparation for the erection of the new
station. When the matter was up in
council It was said on good author
ity that the company had fund
OF s75, 900 in the treasury for the work,
and that It was anxious to get it started
at once. People are justified now In
asking why the building is not in pro-
gress. The good weather is rapidly
passing, and soon the building opera
tons will be hampered by storms. Tho
community has right to demand that
the railroad people show their good
faith in tho matter by beginning the
work. They have certainly had ample
time to get 1t well under way.
The present old structure is discredit-
able to the railroad and the city alike.
It's not adequate to the demand, is in
convenient as well as unattractive, and
it ought to be replaced with a modern
structure as soon as possible.

Flow the- Props Arc Falllng


Tho Democratic end Of tho WAYS and means
committee iS hearing something drop every
Yes; the props are falling from under the BIC.
KinlCy inlquity very tapidly.-Re0tste''
Is that so2 Well, will the Register
kindly publish for tho benefit of its
readers the names Of all those gentle
men who have appeared before the
ways and means committee since the
hearings began, and state what proper
ton of them have declared the McKin-
ley bill to be IN "iniquisy;" also the
proportion that have pied with the
ways and means committee not to dis
turb the tariff?
Almost without exception those who
have appeared asking for reduction Of
the tariff have been either foreigners or
importers, one man even acknowledge
ing to the committee that he was the
paid attorney of some importers and
was to get handsome fee If he succeed
ed in convincing the committee that
the duty sould bei taken off the foreign
products they were interested in. No
large delegations of workingmen or
manufacturers have been there to
"knock the props from the iniquity."
On the contrary such delegations have
appeared to protest in the name of
American industries and American
labor against any change in the tariff
whatever.
Notwithstanding all this, every one
knows that the argument and testlmo-
ny being heard daily by the ways and
means committee will havelittle weight
with the Democratic members. They
are going to demolish the protective
tariff, and they will carry out their in
tention, regardless Of every protest.
The platform pledge for tariff for rev.
enue only will be kept. Democrats
who comforted themselves with the be-
lief that the party didn't mean what it
said will find how vain were their
hopes. As the Register says, the props
will be knocked from under protection,
but it will be against the protests of
industrial America.
But the people demanded by their
votes that this be done, say the "taritt
reformers." The people undoubtedly
elected the free trade party to power,
but the people Aere the Victims of a
gigantic confidence game, and the peo-
pie themselves are beginning to realize
it. They realized it "when the mills
shut down" and were told by the own
ers that uncertainty regarding future
tariff legislation made it necessary
to go slow. They realize it now
when they read the daily reports
OF the tariff hearings in tho ways
and means committee room. Protec-
ton Democrats and worktngmen re-
member how they were assured that
the free trade plank in tho platform
never would be carried ont, that.it was
put there simply to catch free trade
votes; and how Democratic organs in
the industrial districts, including
Wheeling, avoided publishing that
tariff plank, merely printing garbled
version OF it, aud that the only circula-
ton IL got was through Republican
papers and on posters issued by Repub-
lican committees. The people were
taken in by the Democratic confidence
game. They know it now when it is
too late.

DEPRESSION IN COTTON.
The Senate Sub-Committee's Investi-
cation In Progress.

Washington, Dec. 22.-The commit
tee of the Senate committee on agricul-
ture, of which Senator George is chair
man, has been engaged for several months
past under the resolution of the Senate
passed during the Fifty-second congress,
IN investigating the causes for the exist
ing depression in the cotton producing
states. The committee has made good
headway, but will not be able to report to
the Senate before spring at the earliest.
Ihe consuls of the United States have
been slow in sending replies to inquiries
propounded by the state department, but
the information is now coming IN and
when these reports are compiled and alb
stracted, they will show the difference in
the cost of raising and manufacturing
cotton in these other countries, the diff
terence in wages paid and many other
Items connected with the business of gen
eral interest to the people of that section
where cotton is raised In the United
States
In addition to this many letters were
sent to business men and farmers in the
south asking for their views, and the re-
plles to these are being compiled by an
expert in the employ of the committee.
AS soon as practicable the committee will
visit the manufacturers of cotton goods
in New England and the city of New
York. Mr.. George said to-day that he
expected a voluminous and exhaustive re-
port, but up to this time could only re-
port satisfactory progress.

Baltimore Md, Dec. 22.-S. M. Hart,
who was the president of the state bank
of Buckley, Wash, was arrested here
yesterday on the charge Of embezzling
$4,000 of the funds of that
bank. The authorities OF Buckley
offered reward Of 81 900 for
Hart's arrest. Hart once ran
a billiard hail in this city under
the name of Louis l.. Kahn, which is said
to be his right name He was at one time
the champion billiard player of Maryland.
He has many aliases. Some of them are
Louis Dosher, l.. l.. Calm, H. Hershman,
S. Oppenheimer, etc. He has been maxi
ing his aliases for the past six years
only. If the information the police
give out is correct Hart is a rascal
of huge proportions, he having carried
on his swindling operations in Phila-
delphia, Richmond, Ind, Oskaloosa,
Ia. and other cities. He sometimes dis
guised' himself as Catholic priest. He
is Mason and a member Of the order of
the Mystic Shrine. He went to Buckley,
Wash, where he started a state bank
and became its president. He left there
on Nov. Is, when his accounts were found
to be $50 900 short

A CRANK AFTER GOVERNMENT OFFICERS.
Washington, Dec. GA crank, who
signed himself Joseph Don Jam, of 73 Pas
sale street, Newark, n. j., is wanted by
the secret service of the government for
writing threatening letters to a number
of prominent officers of the government,
though he singled out Vice President
Stevenson as the man to whom to
send most of his epistles. During the
long silver fight the Vice Presidents mail
contained many threatening letters, but
the cranks were mostly of the spasmodic
order. Don Jam, however, was persistent,
and nearly every day wrote letters threat
ening Vengeance.
OTHERS ALSO ANNOYED.
The letters were generally thrown
tary Carlisle informed Vice President
Stevenson that he and President sCleve-
land had each received several threaten
ing letters from Don Jam, and that Sena-
tors Sherman and Mills also had been
objects of attention on the part of the
crank, The matter was thereupon
turned over to Chief Drummond, of the
secret service, and then the matter was
allowed to rest until Thursday night,
upon receipt of another threatening letter
by Vice President Stevenson demanding
sos and saying that Don Jam was
stopping at 105 Eutaw street, Baltimore.
A telegram was sent to the chief of po-
lice IN Baltimore, advising Don Jams ar
rest, but he has not been found at either
the Newark or the Baltimore address.

Recorder from Little Rock, Ark, says:
"The state board of penitentiary com

$500 now in cultivation on beautiful
island, about thirty miles long, in Lake
Chtcot. 1t was purchased by Austin Cor
bin 81 Co., and Count Rayignac, of
France, some years ago and they have,
it is said, spent 81, 900, 600 on it. 1t is fur
nished with 200 fine tenement houses,
ideal homes for the superintendent, man

riculture of the latest improved patterns.
The governor thinks the experiment will
prove profitable to the state"
