REPUBLICAN TESTIMONY.

Under the caption, IAN Active Indus
try" the Republican Pittsburg Dispatch,
which has q correspondent with Mr.
WILSON to misrepresent his campaign,
has this to say editorially regarding the
revival of the coke industry in these
Democratic times:
The review of the condition of the coke
industry by a representative OF the DIS
patch shows an immense volume OF opera
lions at prices that leave a very snght
margin. That shipments for the three
6 i,-i.s ended September 30 were nearly
IS93 is partly due to Ap Tue 'hree inUn aIi yo
ume of business IN August and SepSos--,.
of last wear; but that the shipments for
September were 1900 cars in ercess OF the
same month in any pear on record argues
an activity which is most gratifying
proof of the vitality of our industries.
The Dispatch goes on TO say that I'm
the stagnation Of year ago we can see
that the effect of hardpan prices has
been TO stimulate demand. The same
stimulating quality may be expected to
exercise some effect on prices, and, If
kept within conservative limits, to hold
out the promise Of an era Of general
prosperity"
This from one OF their own brethren
is respectfully referred to the calamity
howlers. The Dispatch has evidently
been made aware of the fact that IL is
impolitic and absurd to keep up the
calamity farce longer.

IT'S DEMOCRATIC DELAY.

Despite the efforts OF Democratic Senators
to prove the contrary, the people can see
very clearly where the blame for the failure
to pass tariff reform measure really lies.
1t is unnecessary to demonstrate that it
would be an exceedingly difficult matter to
discuss a bill which is not in existence-at
least so far as the Republicans are concerned
and perhaps almost as difficult task to
pass it before it is completed.
When the Democrats succeed in deciding
what their bill is to be, then they can censure
and vote upon it. But until then the respon-
sibility rests where it was placed in Novem-
Der. 1888
The desire to evade this responsibility GER
tainly exists in the minds Of three or four
Democratic Senators, and to their disgrace it
has caused the larger part of thepresent delay.
They have repudiated to some extent the
pledges by which they secured their elections,
demanding, on pain of killing the bill, that
certain concessions shall be made for their
own political glory.
This contagion has spread so that at least
dozen of the Democratic Senators are engaged
in a wild helter-skelter scramble for their own
constituents.
1t is time that the leaders realized the true
condition of affairs, and either got the de-
inquents into line or read them out of the
arty. The Democrats have been trying for
Iody years to pass tariff reform bill, but If
they do not get on ivelier gait than the
present one it will take forty years more at
least

AN ORJECT LESSON,

Dispatches from Cleveland, Ohio, say that
"a mob of unemployed have been raiding
the manufacturing districts and destroying
property. Very few can speak English"
There is an object-lesson in that dispatch
Ter these same manufacturers. They csn re-
member when the men in their employ all
spoke English; when the workmen's wives
kept their tidy little homes and sent their
children to the schools to be nodded into use
iul citizens. The men were well housed, well
fed, and well behaved. But they were well
organized, and demanded fair pay. The em-
ployers raised the foolish cryi "This is our
business; we Will run it to suit ourselves J"
And they did. Many Of them, already mil
lionaires, banded together and imported ship
load after shipload Of foreigners to work
for lower wages. The new comers worked
cheaply, but they lived cheaply. Business
languished, cottages were deserted, tenement
life took the place of home life, the children
were left to beg or steal. Mob rule took the
place Of law among the workmen, and the
only business that showed healthy growth
was that of the police court. The dispatch
from which we quote tells the rest. The cap
italistic hog has run his own business. He
has put both feet in the trough and spilled

AGAINST THE CHINESE TREATY.

President Gompers Says 1t Gives the ORR.
entails Right Of Interference.
Samuel Gompers and James Duncan, respec.
lively president and secretary Of the National
Federation Of Labor, and Furnsette, Of the legis-
late committee of the National Seamens Union,
called at the Capitol yesterday and met num-
ber of Senators, to whom they made protests
against the ratification of the Chinese treaty.
Discussing the treaty. Mr.. Gompers said:
ave shall do our utmost to defeat it We do
not want any treaty with China. II has taken
years of agitation, organization, education and
experience for our government to recover Its
absolute right to determine for itself its policy
for the better protection OF our people against
the influx of the Chinese, and the proposed
treaty simply gives the right TO the Chinese
government 10 interfere and question our domes-
tic well az foreign policy in dealing with this
question.
sThe proposed treaty has been negotiated
In darkness and secrecy. The people are not
aware that their rights are about TO be invaded
and their interests destroyed or we would wit
part that would cause the Senate to pause before
this new blight is placed upon u.s.
"lf Senators doubt the intensity Of feeling and
interest upon tLis subject, let them give official
sanction TO the publicity OF this treaty and time
1or the people TO demonstrate their position
upon IT, and they will be convinced that apart
from few sentimentalists, the American peo-
pie are practically unit against Its ratifca-
ton"
Among the Senators with whom the delegation
talked were Messrs. Hill, Smith, Walsh, and
many othera The delegates expressed the
opinion that they had made considerable pro-

Inconsistencies Exposed.

10 the Edltor OF INK lines.
The following extracts from q morning con-
temporary in the issue of yesterday shows not
only lack Of consistency, but also is an evi-
dence OF the utter heartlessness and brutality
of a subsidized press which draws its support
from the masses of the people:
First page: 1.-The army Of the commonweal
looked about as hard and Indifferent TO all things
spiritual or material as they had at any time
since they started from Massillon. This may
have been the contrast of the long line Of rag

against the background of handsome houses
and gayly dressed people that lined the side
walks"

THE POWER OF THE Jury.

The other day, when the post office appro-
priation bill was under consideration in the
House of Representatives. a discussion arose
as to the power Of Congress to pass declara-
tory acts. Mr.. Everett. of Massachusetts,, for
the information Of the House. stated that the
British parliament once passed declaratory
act to the effect that juries have the power to
pass upon the law as well as the facts.
As our common law is based upon thar Of
Great Britain, it is fair to presume that the
juries of this country have the same power.
We print this for the information of the juries
that will try the Browne-Jones-Coxey cases,
and trust they will assert their power.

LAW AND 0RnER

This paper had its birth and still has its
tr;ns because of the great desire on the part
oi the people for voice and fair representa-
tion. because of an ever-growing necessity for
IN honest medium of exchange of thought be-
tween earnest, thoughtful men and women,
who, while loyal to the marrow of their bones,
yet are forced to the conclusion. by the wants of
everyday life and by the most casual OBJ
servation of the condition Of things, that the
reitetation Of the word freedom does not con-
stitute freedom; that the stump orations
and printed congressional bombast with
which the daily mails are burdened does not
prove that this is "a government for the peo-
ple;' on the contrary, that the so-called free
government is becoming less and less free
year by year; that a new form Of feudalism
has come in under the careless Interpretation
of law-the feudalism of wealth, of monopoly,
of trusts, and combinations for the enriching
OF the few at the expense Of the many.
Now we chance to know that this appalling
fact is known and acknowledged by the ma
1ority of the good and true men Of both the
dominant parties in this present Congress.
The most conspicuous evidence OF the radical
hold this return to an evil condition of things
is the hopeless and helpless tone Of voice
with which they make this ad Omission. It is
not the question now ''who hath done this
tAisg?" but let US cover the case by the state
ssnt that the rapid rise of this river of human
sfo, made possible by the banner of free
dom" and virgin resources of a new conti-
nent. has and is showing an unmistakable
tendency to break away the conflning banks
of declaration OF rights and to inundate
the fair fields of individual industry.
Accuse no man or no body of men of this
''thing," but, frankly admitting the existence
OF the condition" let US set about a great
work with great hearts and great courage,
the courage that can only truly exist when
firmly rooted IN conviction Of duty to be
done.
In late issue of our paper under this cap
tion we took occasion to say of 'the wayfar-
ing man.
The question of right and wrong has In some
way gone adrift in his mind, and he has been
led by an outside view of the current of events to
belief in the dangerous doctrine that might Is
