HOOKING VALLEY BOND SUIT.
Directors Appeal from the Decision in
Favor Of Stakeholder Belden.

Notice of appeal has been filed
with the Court of Appeal here In
the suit recently decided in favor
of Congressman James j. Belden
against ex-Judge Stevenson Burke
and his associate Directors of the
Columbus, Hooking Valley & Tole-
do Railroad Company, Wilson,
Lanter & Co., Drexel Il Co. and the
Central Trust Company. The suit
involves about $S,OOO,OOO in bonds
of the railroad company issued in
1882, and secured by mortgage to
the Central Trust Company.
Mr.. Belden sued as the holder of
$4,000 of the bonds for reimburse
ment, the bonds having fallen
greatly in value since his purchase
of them from Winslow, Lapier g.
Co., pe:itioning that other bond
holders similarly situated, who
choose to join in the action, be
granted similar relief, and that u
covenant for the use of bonds be
enforced. Charges of fraud and of
violation of trust were made by
Mr.. Belden and the Supreme Court
decided in his favor. From this
the appeal is taken.-OhiO State

here aud our business men are be-
coming somewhat restless under
the business prostration and want
to see something done looking to a
resumption of work. Business was
bad most of last season, and with
work now entirely stopped the sit

aspect unless work is resumed in
the near future.

A Sure Cure.


1t was natural that workingmen
should want back the rates of
wages they had received before
the panic. This is but an evidence
of unrest and discomfort. Natur-
ally the minds of the people looked
about for the cause and the cure of
their distress. Some tell them
that it is the tariff and only the
tariff. A great many listened to
this statement and seemed to go
away satisfied that they had re-
ceived the truth, hut they were
never more deceived in their lives.
The great cause of this distress
is the forcingof the world on to u
gold basis and the destruction of
one-half of the money of final re-
dempti0n and the consequent re-
duction in prices all over the
world. If it had been the tariff
alone,s then it would have been
confined to this country alone, but
the fall in prices is not confined to
the United States. lis universal
and the most careful examination
that it is possible to make has pro.
ven that gold has appreciated more
than 55 per cent. in comparison
with fOrty-five of the leading arti-
cles in use among men. That in
itself shows plainly how prices
have fallen.
1t is as well known as any thing
is known that business is always
dull on falling market. The ap-
probation of gold since 1873 is
very nearly equal to a decline in
prices of 100 per cent. Most Of the
staple articles can be purchased
to-day for one-half of what they
could be purchased for in 1873,
when silver was denonetized in
this country and in Germany, and
yet the wise men of America strive
to make the common people think
that Is was great blessing to
them to have this country placed
upon a gold basis. "You may fool
some of the people part of the time
and some of the people all the
time, but you can't fool all of the
people all the time," said President
Lincoln.
You may have greenbacks, ma.
ti0nal bank bills, treasury notes,
silver bills and gold bills and you
can have silver dollars, but they
mean nothing when every one OF
them represents gold standard,
They are simply tokens that call
for so much gold, therefore your
real money is just the amount OF
gold and will remain so until silver
by law Ia made money with full
legal tender power and free coin.

or bring relief. A good tariff bill

No Agreement.
Jacksonville Register.


Regarding the outcome of the
Cleveland convention there is liz
tie to say futher than after being
in session three days the conven-
tion was adjourned without an
agreement being reached, or even
a modus vivendi whereby the coun-
try might be supplied with coal
pending settlement of the price
question. One of the many blocks
in the way of a settlement was the
fact that during the reign of low
prices some of the Pittsburg oper-
ators made contracts to deliver a
large amount of coal at the 80 cent
basis. There seemed but little of
n conciliating disposition manifest
ed. The miners remained firm in
their demands for 70 and 79 cent
basis, while the operators-Ohio
excepted-did not even offer a
half way compromise. Their best
proposition was 56 and 65 cent
scale. The miners regarded that
as below living wages and declin-
ed to consider it, and in that
shape the convention adjourned
sine die.
And thus the matter stands.
After being one month the fight
seems to have just begun. Some
of the operators boldly declared
that without concessions on the
part of the miners they would fight
their organization to the death.
They claimed that the present
trade conditions would not permit
them to pay the price demanded.
With the operators in fields refus-
ing to come into the convention or
be bound by it's action, and with
the present condition such, it is pos
sible to bring coal from England,
Scotland and Nova Scotia, to COM
pete with their coal they could not
pay the price demanded. What
the next move will be it is impossi-
BILE now to say. An amicable set
Element of the difficulty does not
seem to be near at hand. In few
localities the miners have gone to
work, but in the main the strikers
appear to be as firm as when they
went out. r.
With the suspension only partial
and foreign coal being brought in
quantities never before attempted,
makes the issue of the strike un.
certain to say the best of 1t.
The Pennsylvania operators held
a meeting in Philadelphia Monday
at which every operator in the dis.
trict was present. IL was un.
animously agreed that the men
would be given until the 90 inst. to
go to work, and II they refuse to dc
so, the attempt will be made tc
put in new men. There are he.
tween 10000 and 10000 miners en-
ployed in the district a majority OF
whom are Huns and Sweeds, and
when the attempt is made to put
in new men, trouble would be con.
fned to their own district there
would be but little sympathy with
the operators If they do have lot
of trouble. This Is in the district
where the Huns and Slavs were
shipped in q few years ago to take
the places Of native American
WorkmeH who were resisting u big
cut in wages.

Latin and had belonged to the medical
profession. On one occasion he was

gendarmes were after him, he did not
attempt to land. but as he had a fine
voice and could also play the guitar to
beguile the time of waiting he got out
his instrument and began to sing and

that of the left hand. s Il 1875 per cent.
The loss of the middle finger Of either

A SECOND GALL
To the Spiro & Long Building Was Made Upon the Fire De-
 partment.

At o'clock yesterday morning fire brok out the second time in the three-story building occupied by Spiro & Long.
 An alarm was turned in, to which the department answered promptly. Water was applied in good streams, and the fire was soon extinguished, but not until some additional damage had been done.
 Just how it originated Is not known. but it is supposed to have resulted from smoul- dering fire in some of the charcoal refrg- orators.
 The damage will not reach over $500.
 By the two fires in the same buildi ng, and only few hours apart, the interior of the building was burned badly.
 Chief Mullin, who had an arm broken during the first blaze, which happened at 12:05 o'clock yesterday morning., was unable to go to the second. Captain Rolla, who had an arm hurt in the first, however, was able to go to the second.
 The department at both fires did excel lent work, notwithstanding the great danger under which they worked.

TARIFF AND WAGES.

~ The New York World very properly al- ludes to the fact that the wage reduction at the Eastern cotton mills, which has led to another great strike, is not warranted by anything in the proposed tariff revision. In the first place the tariff bill has not gone into effect, yet the reduction and the strike have. Again the new cotton schedule was made to suit the Republicans, and atten- tion is called to the fact that Senator AL drich pronounced it 'tthe most scientific tariff on cottons'' ever devised. The coun- try has no less authority than the late James G. Blaine, for the truth that the labor cost in American cottons is less than in those of England.
 It will be lame excuse on the part of mill owners to lay reduction of wages of their employees at the feet of Democratic tariff revision, when it is remembered that they did not increase pay under the pro- lection afforded by McKinleyism, which law did increase the cost of the necessaries of life to be paid by the workmen. The AGE-HERALD is opposed to strikes, be- cause they are too violent in their ten- dency, but it is not blind to the general causes which lead to them.
