YOUR MANHOOD.

"Your manhood, your honesty and
everything will be tested this year.
We are going to bend parties to fit
principles hereafter. If no man in the
country will stand with me 1 will stand
alone for the Alliance principles. %
From O. speech made by Col. Polk at
Charlotte, March 2@d, 1899.
That was before the campaign
opened. We all know his prophecy
came true. Many fell by the wayside
but now wish their manhood had been
stronger.

A few days ago, at Charlotte, a Caro-
lima Central train ran over and killed
Sarah Flanagan, an employee of the
Ada cotton mill, This occurred at4:25
p. m. At the same hour and minute,
almost to a second, the west-bound
passenger train killed a negro named
Tom Williams near Monroe. The same
road, same day, same hour, two per.
sons were killed. Rather a remarkable
coincidence.

Mr.. L. Q. Caldwell, of S~tatesville,
who has been accused of Populistic

is too good a Democrat to endorse
Cleveland. That may be true, and yet
he may lack a good deal of being a good
enough Democrat to be a Populist.
Pray, brother Caldwell; pray without
ceasing.

AN EMBARRASSING POSITION
South American Fugitives Are an Elephant
on Our Hands
The Cabinet Can't Keep Them or Let
Them Go-Dimculties Over the
Exeta Adherents.

The action of Capt Thomas Of the U. S.
s. Bennington in affordng asylum to fugi-
tive officers of the defunct EZeta govern
ment of Salvador was the subject of cabinet
consultation again today. That the ques-
ton is regarded as highly important is
shown by the fact that the President and
Secretaries Gresham and Herbert have
spent many hours in conference over it..
The usual reticence is observed in official
circles in regard to the situation, and the
Latest dispatches from La Libertad are
treated as strictly confidential. The main
question at issue is the disposition of the
refugees on board the Bennington. There
are said to be seventeen of them, including
Gen. Ezeta, eX-vice president and brother to
the deposed president. Gen. Ezeta is re-
portd TO be fatally injured.
These men were granted asylum when the
late government: was oNerthrown, and be-
fore its successor was established, with the
understanding that they would take pas
sage on the first steamer leaving La Liber-
tad. According to schedule q Pacific coast
line steamer was to have touched at that
port Saturday. but SO far as known she did
OF put in All appearance.
Meanwhile the revolutionists have been
fighting among themselves in La Libertad.
and there has been rapid succession of
commapdantS. Gen. Gutierrez, the newly
proclaimed president has established him
self at tbs capital San Salvador. but does
rot appear to be able to put the govern
mcnt machinery in good working order.
The last dispatch from Capt. Thomas was
to the effect that the commandant at La
Libertad had protested against his liberat-
ing the refugees on the Bennington while
the demand for their delivery to the Saliva
doran government for trial is pending be-
fort the authorities at Washington.
The President and his advisers are en-
barrasscd over the situation. The officials
refuse to talk about the matter for publica-
ton, but IL is understood that no positive
line Of action has yet been agreed upon.
The difficulty lies in the fact that while the
government would like to repudiate Capt.
Thomas action as forming a dangerous doc
trine, 1t does not care to face the charge of
inhumanity in turning over the refugees to
almost certain death. and the effort now is
to find a middle course that will at once
avoid the precedent and loss of life.

WHAT NINE OPERATORS SAY.
Useless to Confer With Miners Not
Given Full Power to Act.

PHILADELPHIA, June 11.-William d.
Kelly. one of the conmittee of bituminous
coal operators who went to Altoona on Sat-
urday to attend the conference with the
nirers. has returned to his home in this
city.
IT have had an experience Of twenty-four
years in coal mining" said Mr.. Kelly, and
this strike Is the most senseless ever knew
Of. Our own miners in the Clearfield dis
trict have made 10 demand of US what
ever. and we do not know why they refuse
to work. unless it is. through sympathy with
other miners. they want to stop all coal
production. Our miners belong to no labor
organization.
'sThe operators believe they see signs Of
weakness among the strikers. They are un-
able to stop production in Virginia and
Maryland, and this fact operates very seri-
ously against them. AS to our own miners.
If they will not work, we shall surely get
those who will. The BerwindWhite Com
pany is rushing new miners to their mines
by the car load and is using vigorous meas
ures to get all Of their mines into opera
ton.
II think the miners were deceived as 20
the conference While the operators were
employees. although chosen by the labor or
CARNATIONS, they require that the employees
should be bound by the action of their rep
resentatives. We had assurances that such
would be the case, but We think this assur-
ance was withheld by the labor leaders from
the miners.
About the first thing we learned after
reaching Altoona was that any action taken
by the men would have to be approved by
National President Mcbride before it would
be binding. If the employees could not act
for themselves we determined that a confer
ence was useless, and so none was held al
though several operators had informal talks
with the workmen."
The Berwind-White Company alone has
4,SOO men idle in the Clearfield and Jefferson
regions. 1t Is the intention Of the company
to begin work this morning at one of the
mines In Jefferson county. They have ship
ped coal police from JERSEY City and Phila-
delphia to guard the miners. II this force
is inadequate, a call for protection will be
made upon the state authorities.

phases were encouraging, and showed n
prosperous state of affairs. In regard to
the Smith case Mr.. Ramsdell stated that. as
the defendant did not recede from the posi-
ton he had taken, the action Of the assem-
bly, followed Mr.. William Ballantyne. one
OF the lay delegates. stated that he had
served a member of the judiciary COM
mittee. and spoke of the work accomplished
by that committee.

ton Of the recently formed organization
among the Presbyterian Christian Endeavor
Societies OF the District for the purpose of

tion consisting Of Revs. Kelly. Ennis. Mar
shall. Arthur Little and Alvin Smith.

who was recently the pastor of the Faith
and Bethany Missions of the New York
