JOHN SHERMAN STRIKES.

John Sherman has had a resolu-
ton passed by the senate directing
an investigation Of the sleeping car
business in order to determine what
are reasonable rates Of fare. Speak
ing of this proposed investigation, he
said:
This matter has no reference whatever TO
the strike now in progress in the West, Il
Is something that l have been thinking
about for long time, and have talked
with my colleagues in the senate sufficiently
TO find that they are in hearty sympathy
with my effort to cause q reform in the
rates charged by the Pullman and other
sleeping car companies. regard these
rates as simply infamous. Il is outrageous
for Us TO be compelled to pay high prices
for such poor accommodations Rs We re-
Ceive in our trips TO and fro about the oOun-
try.
Now here is a strike that is 're-
spectacle" 1t IS another strike OF
the millionsires." It is an outrage
for "us" millionsires to have to pay
such prices for accommodations I'm
our trips to sne fro about the coun-
try" This strike Is respectable, not
only because Of the character of the
strikers, but because 1t has no refer
ence to that other strike of employees
for living wages. Il does not pro-
pose any investigation to ascertain
whether the men who build the Pull.
man ears receive wages enough to
keep them from starving; and as Mr..
Pullman himself says this is Q sub

CIeWs reports an interview with
George M. Pullman in which he
talked freely upon the subject of the
strike until the question was asked
him respecting the ability OF his en-
ploYes to subsist upon the wages
they received when he shut himself
up like a clam. Here is the question
and answer:
"Were the men employed at the Pullman
car shops paid enough so that they could
live without getting into debtF"

FALSE AS SATAN.

AS usual in all contests between
capital and labor the plutocratic
press is laboring hard to manufac-
ture sentiment against the railroad
strikers, The Kansas City Star of
July 3, in column review of the
strike situation says of the meetings
in Topeka:
The leaders Of the American Railway
union are indulglng in incendiary talk.
Tits a contemplate fslsehood. Every
speaker at the great meetings held
here counssled peace, moderation and
patience; and at the close of the
evening meeting, the president Of
the A. r. .. requested every mem
Der of the organization TO go di-
rectly to his home and not by any
means TO 90 near the premises or
property Of the railroad companies.
Every striker and sympathizer wears
the white ribbon, the emblem of
peace, and no violence has been
counseled or contemplated. There
is no doubt that reports of violence
and incendiary talk at other point
are as false as those concerning To
peks. They have their inspiration
and their purpose.
The advocate., 1894-07-11

ject he does not care to talk about,
we are not likely to obtain any fur
ther information respecting it than
we now possess. How very simple
and easy it is to get a senate inves-
tigating committee to inquire into
any subject in which millionaire sem
ators are interested; and how very,
very hard it is to get any investiga-
ton of matters pertaining to the
welfare of the workingmen of this
country. A republican protective
tariff is presumed to be all they need
in this life.

A JUDICIOUS OMISSION.

The Kansas state democratic con-
vention declared IN it's platform:
We endorse the wise and patriotic action
Of President Cleveland, and the efforts Of
all true democrats in executive and legiSlR-
tive stations, in all they have done to carry
out the principles Of the last Chicago plat
form.
The convention very judiciouslY

PUBLIC sympathy for the strikers as
against Pullman is not sympathy for them
as against the United States. This is dis
tinction that should be borne in mind

SAYS IT Is A CONSPIRACY.

The democrats of Illinois have
nominated Franklin MsoVesgh as
their candidate for United States
senator from that state. In the
course Of his speech accepting the
nomination, Mr.. MacVeagh said:
The democratic party has been abused
and maligned for twelve months, and there
has been practically no defense. The abuse
by the republican party and che asporsiOns
have gone practically unOhallenged; and I
say I believe the time has come when what
/ shall call q conspiracy Of the republican
party to put the democratic party in its own
place TO receive the srraignments due TO it's
own sina--the time has come when that
conspiracy should be met and laid bare be-
fore the people Of this state. They turned
the government of the United States from
their own hands into ours when the tress-
ury was bankrupt and they knew it. They
turned the government Of the United States
over 10 as when the result Of their currency
legislation had, TO their own personal
knowledge, produced the panic they had
raised; entered into hhis conspiracy, having
thus murdered the prosperity of the COun-
try; entered into the e'OOnspiracy TO get an
innocent man hung for their own Deeds"
No man or woman who has read
the daily papers could have failed to
observe the truth of two of Mr.. Mac
Veagh's statements in the above par
agrsph; (D the repeated and persist
emit declarations of the republican
press and politicians that all the ills
which aflict the country to-day are
the result Of democratic incompe-
tence and Encouragement; and ~
the silence Of the democratic press
and politicians upon the subject. Not
until the vigorous declarations OF
Mr.. MacVeagh were published, have
the democratic press or politicians
made any protest worthy of mention
against these republican charges.
The PopuliSt press alone has as
sumed the task Of refuting them, not
from any love of the democratic
party, but in order that the republi-
can party might not escape the re-
sponsibility of its acts and again ride
into power upon its false and hypo-
critical pretenses.
Did the reader ever seriously think
why democrats have been content
to rest under the odium of these
charges in silenoe-why they have
not been repudisted by the great
daily democratic pressl Mr.. Mac
Vesgh says the election Of Mr.. Cleve-
land was the result of a republican
conspiracy IN order that the odium
Of the panic and distress which were
seen TO be inevitable might fall upon

others rather than upon themselves.
Those who have closely observed
current events in the past, and who
are cognizant of the power behind
che throne whichever party holds the
reins of governments, will not deny
the probability of a conspiracy to
change the administration, but they
will be slow to believe that republi-
cans alone were parties to that con.
spiracy. Were this true, were the
contest between the two old parties
as real as it seems, why, we ask again,
has the democratic party been so
long content to rest under the odium
of these republican charges? Every
person who knows anything at all
is aware that the pretense that the
people of this country were in the
enjoyment of unprecedented pros
perity up to the day that Mr.. Cleve-
land entered the White House, is
hypocritical and fraudulent; and had
not the democratic party psrtici-
psted in the conspiracy in question
with the distinct understanding that
it was to bear the disgrace, it would
never have held it's peace as it has
done.
The secret Of the whole matter is,
the government of the United States
has for years resided 10 its plutoC-
rscy which has simply used the two
parties as instruments of fraud and
deception, transferring power to the
one and the other as it's interests at
the time required. The politicians
of both parties have been willing
participants in all the conspirscies
for the perpetustiOn Of plutocratic
rule, and through them the deception
of the people has been complete.
Will Mr.. McVesgh expose the con-
spiracy Of the election of 1892 as he
declares that he will, and will the
democratic press of the United
States aid in this exposures Watch
and see.
The advocate., 1894-07-11

In another place we reproduce an
editorial from the Capital of July 8,
urging the democratic convention to
endorse Major Morrill, for governor.
II will be seen that it is not so much
fusion that the Capital breads as

TENEMENT HOUSE EVILS.

Nathan Straus on the Practical Re-
forms Most Needed
Mr.. Nathan Straus said to a reporter
regarding the tenement house problem;
THE new Tenement House Commits.

and the greatest of these are over.
crowding, the poor sanitary condition
of the souses and in addition to this,
the practice of eXtortion that the poor
people have to combat with. They are
tleeced on every side. Their landlords
charge them eXorbitant rents, under.
takers overcharge them, and often they
nave to pay more than they ought for
the necessaries Of life.
1t is not commended that the tene-
ment house district of our city is not
overcrOwded. People are living in
throngS in very close quarters, and the
first thing the Tenement House Com
mission should consider is how to rem
edy this. My idea is that the popula-
ton should be scattered over an area
which Is equal to the amount Of popu.
lation it Is to accommodate. How this
Is to be done Is a question that will re.
quire a great deal of study, and one
which l am not prepared TO answer just
now.
The sanitary condition of the tene-
ment houses is appalling. In my OBJ
~servation of the Door of this city and in
the various Investigations l have made
on my w account, l have found a
condition of things that should be rene

the plumbing should be completely rip

the plumbing needs repairs, but most
OF it needs total destruction and re-
placement with plumbing that Is health.
full. Give the people pure air and good
plumbing and the question of food, in
which 1 am particularly interested, will
take care of itself.
Most OF the women who live in the
tenement houses who are foreigners,
are very good cooks as a rule. They
know how to cook food in a wholesome
way provided they can get the food.
Inc question sometimes Is. how are
they going to get the food? For young
children barley is p~rocurable during the
summer from my depOts, together with
milk. The food for the older people is
not such a question of moment, as their
health is not so much affected by Door
food as the health of young children.
"What the Tenement House Commits
sion should Investigate very infinitely
is the very high rents these people have
to pay for their very poor accommoda-
tons. They are paying rents for mis-
cradle rooms and accommodations that
are more In proportion than people who
live on Fifth avenue have to pay. The
landlords can not be made to reduce
the rents, but they should be reduced
to give the tenants accommodations
that will provide them with the worth
of their money.-New York Mail and
Express.
