a good many people are wondering
the same thing. and few statements in
connection with the matter may be inter
esting.
A month ago when the strike was at
it, height and the men out Of employ
ment we're beginning to feel the need Of
immediate relief the farmers alliance of
Dover started the ball to rolling by an
nOuncing that it was ready to furnish

those of the union that apply for them.
VIM. Blevens is in charge and is some
times kept quite busy. There is nothing
store like about the place. 1t has no
floor, no counters and no shelves. but the
stock is scattered about in boxes and
barrels Here the needy members of the
a. r. U. apply for help and never turn
away empty handed. There are apples
potatoes, -four, meal, vegeta bles and corn
in abundance. and Mr.. Blevens says that
with what they have in stock and what
has been promised he is sure he could
take care OF a hundred families for five
Or six months at least So far the regu-
lar patrons Of the ''store" number up
wards Of eighty.
Stuff is coming in daily, or nightly
rather, for most Of it comes in the night
Whether this is due to the mOdesty Of
the givers or because they haven't time
TO bring it any other time is left to the
the readers to decide.
And all of il comes from Shawnae
county farmers. Mr.. Blevens says. He
thinks that the list Of contributors will
number over fifty Of the most prominent
farmers of the county and the list il be-
ing increased daily. On the list now
may be found such well known men as

The union is very much encouraged
with the support it is receiving from the
farmers of the county and wishes TO ex-
press its sincere thanks.

Oates Democrats from Birmingham:

TURMOIL IN TEXAS.
Democrats Divide on the Silver
Question.
CIeveland's Followers Jump Into the
Saddle and Ride the Party
Their Way.

DALLAS, Tex, Aug 16. - At / o'clock
this morning the Cleveland Democracy,
headed by George Clark, jumped into the
saddle in Texas and rode over free silver,
16 to 1 ratio. by vote of 451 10 415. The
platform presented by the minority was
adopted. Had the majority free silver at
the ratio of 16 to l report been adopted
there is probability that the straight-out
Cleveland men would have bolted the con-
vention, and it is said many free-silver
men voted against their convictions in the
interest of harmony.
When the convention assembled at l 80
o'clock to-day Chairman Hambley read a
letter from John H. Regan, withdrawing
from, the race for Governor. declaring thai
he had made his canvass on the issue oi
free silver at the ratio of IS to 1, and he
would not accept the nomination on the
platform adopted if given him. He said,
however. he would support the ticket that
shall be nominated.
The convention then proceeded to nomi-
nations for Governor. At the beginning
of the first ballot John d. Mccall with
drew, leaving the race between Culberson
and anham. Regan's forces were largely
thrown to Culberson, and when he had
received over 800 votes Lanham's name
was withdrawn and Culberson was nomi-
mated by acclamation.
George Z. Jester of Corsicana was NOM
mated for Lieutenant Governor. The con
vention then took a recess till S o'clock
this evening.
The platform reiterates the national
Democratic platform adopted in 1892, in
d0rses the State administration of Gov
ernor Hogg and reafflrms the "harmony
agreement" between the Democratic fac
iions entered into March 10, 1894, at
Dallas. President Cleveland's admins
tration is indorsed as wise, patriotic and
statesmanlike, and the Presidents action
in calling out Federal troops to suppress
lawlessness during the recent railway
strike is commended.
The financial and tariff planks are, as
follows: We hold to the use of both gold
and silver as the standard money of the
country. and the coinage OF both metals
without discrimination against either on
charge for mintage, but the dollar unit of
coinage of both metals must be of equal
intrinsic and exchaDgeable value adjusted
through International agreement, or by
such safeguards of legislation as shall in
sure the maintenance Of the parity of the
two metals and the equal power of every
dollar at all times In the markets and in
payments Of all debts, and we demand
that all paper currency shall be kept at
par and redeemable in such coin.
We demand of Congress the passage of
such tariff laws as may be in strict accord
anee with the principle announced in our
last DationaI platform and denounce all
attempts to secure special protection or
privileges for any particular class or
classes. as unwse, unpatrlotic and un-
democratic.
Upon reassembling at P. NJ. the con-
vention at once proceeded to fill out the
balance of the State ticket. William
Cochran of Clsburne was nominated for
Attorney-Genersl on the first ballot. The

STRIKERS ALL TO Go.
No Room for Them on the Union
Pacific.
Hard Upon Old Employees, but the
Rule of the Blacklist Is
Supreme.

OMAHA, Aug 16-Over 1000 men have
been formally discharged from the Union
Pacific as the result of the great strike
and others are being replaced every day.
Twenty engineers and nremen are In
cluded in the list. Some OF the engineers
and fiTemen, particularly on the west end.
were with the company for twenty years
and upward. In most cases the men do
not blame the company for the action
taken, saying that they were misled by the
A. r. T., and that they made a mistake in
going out at all. Notwithstanding. how
ever. the feeling that ran riot along the
Wyoming and Idaho divisions only two en-
gines were disabled.
In some cases the places of the strikers
have been filed with new men, but so
staguant is business that some of the
places will remain untitled until business
warrants an increase in the payroll.
Every man who vert out on a strike is
known at headquarters, and the blacklist
book has grown greatly since the reports
have commenced to come in from division
suprintendents as to the number of men
discharged and the causes leading up to
their retirement from the service.
Some little trouble is anticipated by the
management OF the Union Pacific when il
comes to displacing the old employees from
the company's houses along the line tn
make way for new men who have fami.
lies. but the company is determined to
give their new employees the privileges en-
joyed by the strikers.
General Brooke of the Department of
the Platte to-day made his report to the

Interest in the case of Ezeta Is renewed
with vigOr, for the dispatches from Cen
tral America report that the plan so
dreaded by Carlos and Antonio for the
Capitalization of the Central American
republics is about to be consummated.
This is one OF the schemes of Central
American politicians which Carlos EZeta
has all along opposed with all his power.
EZeta knew that his chances for sapping
the treasury of San Salvador would dimin-
ish with the establishment of central
government. He knew that the political
powers of Guatemala. Honduras and
Costa Rica were pitted against him, and
that their utmost efforts would be put
forth to crush him once he became party
to the Capitalization scheme.
The report of the movement to form a
united states in tropical America reached
this city yesterday from several sources by
telegraph. The news in one respect con-
firms the rumOr that the Honduran and
Guatemaian politicians were plotting TO
Oust the Ezetas.
No person, however, is able to say from
what source the dispatches telling about
the ceutral government movement orig
mated. a great many people think that
they were cOncocted at Panama and sent
to this country simply to affect the case of
Antonio and TO prove that what he said
about the attempts of Presidents of other
Central American states to coerce San SAL
vador into joining the federation was
true.
Tie latest charges that tits alleged have
been made in the complaint of the San
Salvadorlan Provisional Government
against Antonio are those preferred by a
number of bankers of that country from
whom the general and the President made
frequent ''borrows." In other words the
bankers were forced to yield up thousands
of dollars rather than take chances OF be-
ing shot.
Local banks are said to have suffered
considerably through these forced loans,
because when one of them was made the
southern bankers could not meet payments
here.
The story circulated about the warTa q t
for AntoniO's arrest having been received
here by Messrs. Gonzales and Luysez Is
emphatically denied by Mr.. Pierson of the
firm of Person & Mitchell. attorneys,
which is acting for the prosecution. The
papers left Washington last Monday and

prosecution are not of the belief that An

Immediately, as has been intimated. He

Movement to Revive the Trans

continental Association.
CHICAGO, Aug. 16.-The Southern Pacific
has issued invitations to all interested
lines asking them to be represented at a
meeting to be held in Chicago August 81,
for the purpose of reviving the Trans
continental Association. 1t is understood
that the Canadian Pacific. Northern Pacific
and Great Northern are agreeable to the
resurrection of the association, but il is
doubtful whether the Southern Pacific
will be in it. although it has agreed to
send a representative to the meeting.
The association can hardly be formed
inside of three months. unless the other
lines are willing to leave the Atchison and
the Union Pacific on the outside, which is
hardly pro bable.
The 500 line has announced an advance
in second class rates from ST. Paul to San
Francisco of S., both via Portland and via
Victoria. The reason given for the ad-
vance is that the road Is about to abandon
its claim for differentials on this kind of
