During the celebrated Homestead
riots, when the conflict was raging
between the Union men and the
Carnegie managers, assisted by the
Pinkertons, two men Patrick Gale
CHER and J. NJ. Davidson came to the
front with their sworn statement
that certain of the Union leaders had
bribed them to poison the new oper-
atives. That tale being believed, and
there were some circumstances to
confirm it, led to O revulsion of sym
pathy for the Homestead men, and
two men Dempsy and Beatty were
convicted of conspiracy to poison,
and are now in the penitentiary.-
Another turn has just been given
the affair by afidavits given by both
Gallagher and Davidson that the tes-
timony was false. They now say that
the Pilkertous got them to swear to
their story and that it was concocted
out of the whole cloth.
They say that the burden on their
conscience is to great for them to
stand, and SO they have made con-
fession. Of the whole conspiracy
against the homestead leaders,
Wretches, self-confessed. as they are,
may tell false tale at one time just
as well as another and it may be
that they are untruthful now. But
we prefer to hope that they are tel
ling the truth at present, and that
the facts are as now stated. If SO
the men in the penitentiary will be
released. What wretches there arr
wearing the form of men!

The press of the State is unani-

are not true Prof. Nicholson should
be INDICATED. He cannot successfully
run the school with the charges stand
ing against him.-Noaroe Telegraph

The Banner believes that the
charges preferred against Prof. Mich
olson are true, and that he should be
made to ''step down and out" and
the sooner the better for the State
University and the public good.

Just before Congress adjourned
Mr.. Enloe, q Representative from
Tennessee, who has long been greatly
opposed to General Raum, who was
Commissioner of Pensions, announc-
ed in the House that man had been
pensioned for s'bald-headedness." -
This caused an indignant denial !; and
DR.. Holt, an employee in the Pension
office who gave him the information.
was dismissed. On Investigation it
has been found that DR.. Holt told the
truth, and he has been restored to
bis former position. What comen-
tary on the law!
Another case has come up of a
different nature. William Newly
was killed at Shiloh. He lived at
Springfield, Illinois. He was buried.
Later, apparently not long since,
Daniel Benton came to Springfield,
and Mrs. Newly recognized him as
her husband, and he applied for a
pension. The government has had
him indicted for fraud in seeking a
pension in Newby's name, and Mrs.
Benton has arrived in Springfield to
swear to his identity as her husband.
The two wives will have to settle
their differences, but the government
will hardly pay q pension to a man
who was buried thirty years ago.

SONS OF DELAWARE AT WAR.


Two Factions in the Ranks which Are
Likely to Bring Ruin Upon the Or
ganizatIon.
A circular, signed by several leading
mombers Of the Society of the Sons of
Delaware protesting against certain
actions Of the present management Of
the organization, has caused no little eX
element among the clubs members, be.
sides furnishing food for no end of com
ment and giving rise 10 the story that
there are now two powerful factions at
work I'm the ranks of the members, whichs
in short time IL is said, will bring ruin
and dissolution upon the organization
says the Philadelphia Times
The circular, which protests against
the proposed removal Of the society
from It's present headquarters, No 1926
Walnut street, TO cheaper quarters on
Broad street. and which also protests
against certain alleged illegal actions Of
President Register, is claimed by its
signers TO be In answer to a previous
circular sent out by the president, in
which that individual recommended re-
moval from present headquarters
In the latter document, the president
stated that the society was subject to
an annual rental Of 81 400 and other
/ running expenses calculated TO bring
the expenditures up to and over So. 500,
while the receipts for dues were far be-
low this amount. Sooner than plung q
| the society into debt he recommended
that 10 remove TO cheaper headquarters
near Broad and Market streets.
To this latter recommendation the
signers Of the contradictory circular take
exception and in their paper exhort the
members TO stay in their present head
quarters, claiming that the presidents
statements were not altogether correct
A report which President Register called
his annual was condemned as unofficial
because, the protestants claimed, it was
not sanctioned by the Board of Gov
ernOrs
Among the signers Of the protests ar,
Frank Dale la lame. James b Candy
Hood Gilpin, Francis Skunk Brown, w. S
Emerson, Frank b. StoclSley, Charles II
Stocldey, William f. Deakyne and vii

management to be the outgrowth O

respondents are }. f. Ii W. BatemRn

The point was made by the latter that
as the original bill Of complaint filed by
the contestant was not accessible to the
commissioner he could not proceed to
take testimony. Mr. Martin, the COM
missioner, ruled that the point was good
and that he would not proceed until the
original paper was before him. This
paper, it seems was withdrawn from
the Circuit Court by one OF the
contestants counsel and sent to Circuit
Court Judge who has not returned IL
The commissioner adjourned the hear
ing until 10 o'clock to day. when
Colonel j. @. Mulikin arose and i'm an
excited manner made some comments on
the ruling of the commissioner and said

and In the midst of the excitement Major
William r Stewart got the floor and
demanded Of Colonel Mullikin a bill of

are He got no reply, as Colonel MullilSin
was going out Of the court room.

While it Is certainly true that the
Wilson bill does not meet the views of
many sincere tariff reformers; it is
doubtless true, also, that it Is the best
that can be done The fact is that the
committee cannot prepare a just, equita
BILE and scientific measure Of taxation
because such measure cannot pass.
There is too much ignorance Of the
science Of political economy and too
much selfshness. Many men have an
idea that freedom Of trade, and cheaper
goods will hurt somebody and many
have an idea that the particular indus
tries which they are interested in foster
ing will suffer a collapse If the protective
tariff is reduced These men are either
mistaken or callous TO the interests of
the people, As in the discussion whether
the law compelling the purchase Of pig
silver should be repealed or not there
were men who, for various reasons.
arrayed themselves with men who wished
to sell silver at the highest possible
price TO the governments obliyious to
other consequences provided they
made money, so there are men
who wish the tariff retained on
various articles, preferring to en-
hance private fortunes rather than ad-
vance the public veal AS a matter of
fact there is no proof that the proteo-
tive tariff is either necessary OF bene.
