OH. CHECKS n. @
The Ohio Banks wont Cash
Them


TOLEDO, Aug. 13.-For the first time
since oil was discovered in the Ohio fields,
the checks issued by the Standard Oil
company arc not honored. The monthly
pay roll is made up on the 10th day of
each month. On Thursday the small army
of paymasters in the employ of the Stand
ards various Ohio companies started out
into the fields as usual, laden with satch-
els full of checks.
The country merchants and boarding
house keepers have always readily ac-
Ccpted the checks, after being properly
endorsed, and have had no trouble in ne
gotiating them at the Toledo, Findlay
and Lima banks. So common were they
that they were used about the same as
currency.
Last week few of the checks issued
for July labor were accepted by country
merchants, who promptly turned them
over to the banks.
The latter refused to issue the currency
on them or to credit personal accounts.
Some banks even refused to accept them
for exchange at three per cent. discount
The merchants have since refused to ac-
ccpt any more checks.
The effect is far reaching. Nearly all
business in the oil field is done by credit
| men pay their board once a month, ho-
tells pay their grocers and meat dealers
| when their hoarders pay them, and the
GrocerS settle with their city houses in
the same way. The result is no one has
yet settled for julv's bills.-N. Y. Sun.

THEY AWAIT OUR WORD
HAwAIXANS HAVE A WORLD
OF PATIENCE.
BlOunt Said To Have Taken a
Dennite stand Back of The Pro-
yincial vernment-Japan Is
Pressing For an Answer.

HONOLULU, via San Francisco, Aug.
16.-The leading topic of discussion
here fo- the past forty eight hours has
| been Minister Blount's announcement
that lie would leave by the steamer
Gaelic. 1t has lately transpircd that he
provisional government on certain de-
mands made by the Japanese.
Prominent annexationists declare
Mr.. Blount to be favorable to the cs-
tablishment OF protectorate over
Hawaii. Royalists are not favorabIy
impressed by the proposed new treaty
from Washington, while on the other
hand annexationists are elated and as
sert that they will have still other
grounds for believing that the beginning
of the end has been reached.
In reply to inquiries during an extended
interval Minister Blount said in sub
stance: 81 am going home owing to the
pressure OF my private affairs. l am
done with my work here. Besides /
shall leave things here in good shape
and there is no anticipation that trouble
will be precipitated during au interval
of 30 days, which will likely pass before
my successor can arrive, if he does not
come on the Australia before 1 leave. l
shall turn over the archives of the de-
partment with other property to Consul
General Severance at noon of August
1 s, if the Gaelic arrives in the morning.
"There is no danger of any disturb.
ances from annexationists and in con-
versation with the leading royalists /
have learned that they will make no fur
ther opposition to the provisional gov
ernment until after the decision of the
United States is announced on the prop
osition for annexation. am confident
the provisional government is capable of
preserving the peace and quiet of the
country"
Throughout the interview ran the pre-
vailing idea that Minister Blount con-
sidered the provisional government as a
fixture not to be disturbed unless the
United States should see fit to change it's
policy hereafter.
1t has been learned directly and posi-
lively that the Japanese government has
been lately pressing the provisional
government for some prompt assurance
of future suffrage for Japanese im1ni-
grants here. After a consultation with
Minister Blount the provisional govern
ment declined to answer the Japanese
government pending the settlement of
the annexation question by the United
St1tcS

Shields, a 12-year-old boy, confessed in court to having removed the burning fuse thrown from the rear of the wrecked train to notify the train following that the suburban was ahead of them. The fuse, which burned 10 minutes, was. according to the testimony, properly placed, but was thrown by the boy to another track, allowing the rear train to crash into the suburban, injuring 30 people, besides the 12 who are dead. The boy said he did not know what the fuse was and was released from GUS tody.

Labor Versus Anarchy.

The great unwashed throng which fills our cities and commits crime of every known form is pleased to act in the name of liberty and labor. It is presumption in the highest de- gree. It is assuming a virtue with out the semblance of possession. Labor, in the broadest, truest, ac- equation of the term, is as much op- posed to anarchy as liberty is to li- cense. The unemployed laborer is totally unlike the miscreant who will not work. He enjoys life, lib ertv, and desires, above all things, peace on earth and good will toward men. The anarchist believes in nothing, is opposed to everything; encourages destruction and discour- ages upbuilding. Prosperity is a nightmare to him, and the peace of his fellowmen a source of constant anxiety He is thing apart, de- spised by all who believe in decency. The State Convention of the Fedora tion of Labor met in Chicago Tues day. The subjects of labor and em- ployment were discussed. It was no child's play to the members of that body It was q matter very near to their hearts, The remark of Gov. Altgeld that he expected the vote of the laboring classes because he had pardoned the anarchists pro- duced a storm of indignation The remark was an outrage upon the people who had elected him. It was sn insult to honesty and true labor. Capt Powers closed his remarks upon shat occasion with these words:
 It is folly to say that union labor should support him because he pardoned the anarchists. As well might the murderers, robbers and embezzlers whom he had pardoned form union for his support
 Our Government desires peace and insures the unmolested pursuit of happiness. The disgraceful ae tieas of anarchists are more than ordinary violation of law; they con- stitute treason and should be stamped out, cost what it may. Such is the true sentiment of both labor and capital.

ALvGELp oS ANARCHISTS.
He Says There xs None In Chicago or

Ire >tafs 0i lllthols.
 SPRINGFIELD. Ills, Nov. 16.-Gov Altgeld was asked Tuesday if it was true that one of the conditions of the pardon of Fielden, Neebe and Schwab was that they should make no more an- archistic speeches in the future.
 He replied: Tn granting pardons to Fielden. Schwab and Neebe I did so because I thought them not guilty of the crime charged, and for which they were sentenced. and in so doing I placed no conditions upon their par dons. made no such conditions as charged, namely that must make no more speeches regarding anarchy You may say there are no anarchists in the entire state of Illinois, not one. If the newspapers would stop talking anarchy the whole matter would never again be heard of.
 tThe laboring men in Chicago and other places are as good citizens as are in any state; that they have right to their own opinions on all matters and are entitled to express the same must be conceded by all citizens, and when such expressions are made the same should not be designated anarchistic speeches, thus placing the speakers ina wrong light.
 No, sir, there is not an anarchist in the great state of Illinois; not one, and with that the governor dismissed the subject.

No doubt but Judge Little and Judge Bryant, of Sebastian county, are grooming for race for Hon. c. R. Breckinridge's place, and, we are free to state, both are good men. To say they are good men is stating it mildly, for they are the very best kind of men, but it will be no time for swapping horses when the tariff fight is on. Mir. Breckinridge is one of the best equipped knights for that great battle that occupies a seat in Congress, and while the Post cherishes the most kind and friendly regard for Judges Little and Bryant we hope the people of that district will refuse to make the change for the present, at least.-Dardanelle Post
