THE GREAT STRIKE.

The strike which has disturbed
railroad traffic and almost para
lived business in many sections has
been the constant theme of con-
v:rsation for the last week. 1t
was caused first by a strike OF the
employees of the Pullman car
works. The hands engaged in
these works, about 50O0in number,
struck for higher wages. Mr..
Pullman claimed that he was run.
ming his works at a loss in order
to give employment to his hands.
When they struck the Pullman
company closed and has remained
closed. Tue American Railway
Union ordered their hands 10 strike
on all railroads that hauled Pull
man cars. The railroads refused
to accede to the demands of the
strikers. The strikers, aided by
the mobs of idle and absolute men,
which congregate about cities, at
tempted to stop all trains and they
have destroyed thousands of cars
and millions of dollars worth Of
property. Nearly all OF the I. s..
amy and the militia OF several
st ties have been ordered to the
points of disturbance, and have in
many places restored order The
President acted promptly and his
action has convinced the maddened
mob that this is country of law,
and that the law Will he enforced,
regardless of cost. The President
In his prompt and courageous &C
ton has been sustained by the
good people of the country. The
lsborng men have their rights and
should be fully protected IN the ex-
ercise of them, but when they as
same the rights of others and at
tempt to act in defiance of all law
and accomplish their purposes by
brute force, they Will soon learn
that they have antagOnized the
millions of law abiding people of
this government and that their
overthrow is only matter of few
days.
Dissatisfied men have right to
strike, but they have no right to
prevent men, who want to work,
from their exercise of this right.
1t is to be hoped that the result OF
the present strike will be the en-
actment of laws which will secure
the prorer punishment of irrespon.
sible destrOyers Of private and
public property.

Senator Faulkner Thinks the Next
House Will be Democratic.

Il sincerely believe now that with
the wonderful improvement in the
industrial interests of the country
which is going on, the next House
will be held by fair working ma
jority," said Senator Faulkner, the
chairman Of the Democratic congress
sional committee, to a Star reporter
the other day.
Il am frank to admit" he con-
tinued chat month ago the politi-
cal horizon was rather cloudy, and
our confident hope of maintaining
the Democratic supremacy in Con-
gress was in somewhat of an eclipse.
The reaction during the past two
weeks, however. throughout the
whole country has simply been mar
yelous. Reports from all sections
of the country indicate already to a
great extent that the party has
thrown off its lethargy and indiffer-
ence, and is arousing itself for one
of the most earnest, aggressive and
enthusiastic campaigns that we have
had in the country for some time.
l do not mean by this that the party
is over confident. 1t realizes that it
has to fight an astute, able and
earnest organization, which has so
long fattened upon the results of
power and been en- trenched so firmly
behind the protective barriers of leg.
islation that nothing but unity in
the Democratic organization will en-
able the latter to maintain its su-
premacy.
'In other words" concluded Sen
ator Faulkner, this is a Democrat
ic fight against the Republican par
ty, in which we have no dissension,
but all are united in a common cause
against the common enemy

Hon. John T. McGraw, of Graf
ton, who was collector of inter-
nal revenue for the district of West
Virginia under Mr.. Cleveland's first
administration, and who is conceded
to be one Of the best political organ
izers in the State, announces that
he has accepted the Craftsmanship
of the Democratic executive COM
mittee for the second congressional
district. In a recent interview Mr..
McGraw expressed confidence in
the election of Mr. Wilson, but, he
says, sit will take earnest, assiduous
labor on the part of the committee
and the generous cooperation of the
people to make the result assured.
1t should be remembered that this
district is composed of fifteen sparse
ly settled counties; covers an i'm
mense area, running from the Shen-
andoah to the head waters of the
Monongahela; that the Demo cratic
voters come not from the congested
centres, but from the mountains and
valleys, in which live the plain peo-
pie who are always true to the prin-
ciples of the Democratic party; that
many Of these people have to travel
distance of ten miles to a voting
place, and in off years it is no small
undertaking to get them to the polls.
Mr.. McGraw announces that the
campaign on the part of the Demo
Gratis is to be an active, aggressive
one. "If Gordon Dayton" says Mr..
McGraw, expects to get to Congress
as the successor of Mr.. Wilson he
will be compelled to go in at the
front door, after an open, stand up
and knock down fight, and he will
not be permitted, so far as our com
mittee is concerned, to slip in at the
back door while. the Democrats of
this district are asleep" Mr., Nc
Graw says the senatorial fight will
not affect the congressional situa-
tion. "Our fight" he says, lis to

Puck's CartOOn-The American Farmer

The whole tariff question so far
as it affects the farmer is graphical
ly summarized in Puck of August
16. The cartoon is entitled THE
American Farmer-Where he has to
sell, and where he has to buy"
On one side of the picture the
farmer is offering his products, corn,
wheat, pork, beef, etc.-in the free
trade markets of Europe He has to
compete there with Russia, Austral-
ia and South American farmers. 1t
is the open competition of this mar
ket which determines not only the
prices which he obtains for imported
products, but also the prices of the
greater part of the same products
sold at home. He completes with
the cheapest farm labor in the world.
He has special privileges. His share
of the protection in the Mckinley
bill was bogus.
On the other side of the picture
the farmer is making purchases OF
clothing, implements, furniture, etc
He is not in the free and open mar
kets of the world where all manufac
turers are competing with each 9th
er for his patronage. He is restrict.
ed to McKinley's Home Market
and high prices. Everything is
marked up according to the tariff
duty placed upon it and to the firm
ness of the trust which regulates
production and prices of this par
ticular product. Mckinley put nc
sawdust in the protection which he
gave to the trusts and manufactur
ers. They do not hesitate to charge
the poor and deluded farmer so pei
cent. more than he would have t.
pay for his goods in the same mar
ket in which he sells his products
His money goes only two thirds al
far with protection" as it would
and will without it.
This is all there is to the tariff
question for the farmer. He has
been fooled and buncoed in voting
for this gigantic fraud, but he i.
getting his eyes open and unless
Lincoln was mistaken when he sale
you can't fool all of the people all
of the time" there will be some sur
prises for Mckinley in the return,
from next November's elections il

the North.

is required to transport patients to
and from the hospital. The salary
of the superintendent is $4,000 a
year. 1t could with propriety be
made $1,000, for the position is one
of great responsibility and requires
ability of a high order. The State
should not be niggardly in a matter
of this sort. Five assistants to the
superintendent are required, and a
druggist, clerk, two supervisors, a
matron and assistant matron, while
a small army of attendants is neces-
sary to properly manage the great
number of patients.
Some figures taken from the last
report of the superintendent may
prove interesting. The institution
uses each year about 10000 pounds
of coffee; $4,000 pounds of butter
about $1,000 worth of coal is re
quired for heating and cooking the
drug bill is $1,000 a year; ever a
hundred barrels of -four is made in
to bead each month; 10000 dozens
of eggs are used a year; 100000
pounds of beef and 1900 pounds of
bacon, besides fish, etc, are con-
sumed annually; the grocery bill is
$500; 5000 gallons of milk are
used a year, the institution keeping
about so cows; $500 bushels of po-
tatoes are consumed in a year; Al,
757 pounds Of brown sugar and g.,
543 pounds of graduated sugar are
required for year: over 81 900
worth of tea is used; it takes 240
gallons of whiskey for medicinal and
other purposes. The matron puts
up over 1000 gallons of blackberry
jam each year, 125 gallons Of rasp
berries, and other fruits in proper.

Peculiar to Itself.

1t is the duty of everyone, whether
at home or travelling for pleasure OF
business, to equip. himself with the
remedy which will keep up strength
and prevent Illness, and cure such ills
as are liable to come upon all in every
day life. For instance, Hoods Sarsa-
parilla as general tonic, and to keeI
the blood pure and less liable to alb
sorb the germs of disease, will be well
nigh invaluable. Change of drinking
water often causes serious trouble, es-
pecially If one has been used to spring
water in the country. From a few
drops to a teaspoonful Of Hoods Sar-
saparilla in tumbler of water will
prevent the water having any injur-
ious effect.

tic, cause no discomfort, no disturb
ance. no loss OF sleep, but assist the
digestive organs so that satisfactory
results are effected in natural and

The Grand Canon of the Colorado
River, in Arizona, is now for the first
time easily accessible to tourists. A
regular stage line has been establish
ed from Flagstaff, Arizona, on the
Atlantic s. Pacific Railroad, making
the trip from Flagstaff to the most
imposing part of the Canon in less
than II hours. The stage fare for the
round trip is only $4,000, and meals
and comfortable lodgings are proyid-
ed throughout the trip at a reasona-
bic price. The view Of the Grand
Canon afforded at the terminus of the
stage route is the most stupendous
panorama known in nature. There
is also a trail at this point leading
down the Canon wall, more than 5000
feet vertically, to the river below.
The descent of the trail is grauder
experience than climbing the Alps,
for in the bottom of this terrific and
sublime chasm are hundreds of noun
tains greater than any of the Alpine
range.

LARGE WHEAT CROP.
An Example Of What May be Done by
by Good Farming.

Samuel A. Newcomer, of German
township, threshed his wheat crop
last week, and as is usual with him,
had magnificent yield His crop
was raised from a little less than
twelve acres, and averaged as meas
ured from the machine, AZ bushels
per acre but by weight averaged Az
bushels per acre. The wheat was of
the Foltz variety and five acres of
the field upon which it was raised
were fallow ground and seven acres
corn ground. A few years ago, the
farm upon which this crop was
raised, was so poor that the owner
would have counted five bushels per
acre a good yield, in fact one or two
men sold the farm because they
couldn't make liv,1g upon it. Tn
der Mr. Newcomers skillful tillage
the entire farm raises crops like the
one here reported. There are farm
ers in Fayette who with several
times as many acres as Mr.. New
conner farmed, haven't produced as
much wheat as be has. 1t is great
foolishness for man to wear his life
out racing around over a big field
when he can raise as much with less
labor on a small field

The advocates of the Mckinley
tariff, from Mckinley down to the
smallest fry shouter, have told us
all along that the imposition Of a
tariff tax made no difference in the
price of articles to the consumer for
the reason that the foreign manu-
facturer paid the tax, but the atti-
tude of the importers in holding
goods in bond until after the new
law went into effect in order to have
them entered under the lower rate
of duty does not tally with their
teaching. The Chicago Record call
ing attention to this phase of the
question says: From the high tariff
point of view it is little difficult to
understand why dealers in imported
goods have permitted their wares to
remain in bonded warehouses until
the new tariff law went into effect.
1t is true that most goods pay a
less rate of duty under the new
than under the old law, but the
stock argument with the high tariff
orators is that the tariff is paid by
the foreign manufacturer for the
privilege of trading in our markets.
They urge the people to favor the
Mckinley idea of prohibitive duties
because the tariff is not tax and
the sum paid in duties is not added
to the price which the consumer has
to pay. But here are al the import
ers in the country leaving their
goods in bond so as to avail them
selves of the lower rate of duty
which Mr.. Mckinley says the for
eign manufacturer has to pay for
the blessed privilege of selling to the
American people the goods which
they order from abroad
If the high tariff argument is
sound, what difference does it make
to the importer whether he pays a
high or low rate of duty, and what
difference does it make to the con-
sumner how high the duty is if it is
not added to the price of the article
which he buys?
