WHAT OEB8. REALLY is.

Not n Leader.
New York Evening Post.

so 10 II 3uTElFhl
Not n Leader.
New York Evening Post.
There Is one side Of the dispute now
pending between a certain Debs and the
people Of the United states which seems
to have been overlooked. The garrnlous
cyclists who is for the moment misdirect-
ing the fortunes of the American Railway
Union is talking cppously about the
American laborer" and "tlIe war between
capital and labor" but his chief grievance
is really against Mr.. Pullman and the
latter's car factory.
With that purely local quarrel the
American commonwealth has nothing to
do. 1t is mere incident in the operation
OF the memorable laws governing supply
and demand, masqucrading in socslistic
garb. in the last century. OH IIonnslow
Heath, Dick Turpin enacted Debs' present
role and was most unkindly treated ut
ISburn. But what We plain, hard-work-
ing, thrifty and not unintelligent Ameri-
cans do take an interest in, is The degree
OF success, or advancement, or progress of
any kind, which this man Debs and his
like are willing to allow us.
Mr.. Pullman is essentially [and very
much to his honor a self-made man. He
is one of type which has been extolled
and beprased in every public school of
our country for two generations. Starting,
like Deos himself, with no. more than two
hands and head, he has won his way to
whatever share of success lie now enjoys
by patience, labor and self.control. lie is
only one Of thousands among our fellow
cOuntryInen who have done the same in
fact, somebody has called this possibility
the glory of our nation. Now Dpbs pro-
claims 10 the workingmen that there is q
war between such success and the labor
which begcts it. He knows, of course, as
we'll as any of u.s. that capital is nothing
but the savings of labor. He knows that
there is not II yardman, or brakeman. or
car-cleaner. in his ''union'' that doesn't
banker To have his own little home with
tscnrtaiEs and morning.glories. He knows
that when they get these, ii they are really
Americans, they will want becoming sur
roundings for their wives and daughters
and wider careers for their sons. But to all
such aspirations he says: mo! deprecate
the necessity and feel the responsibility,
but You must stay in that condition of life
to which it has pleased the president of
the American Railway Union to cali you"
In other words: 'Iuu must not aGcnml-

KILLED ~ BBVENG r..
\ Blacksmith Assassinated for Giving
TastimnnY Arainat Striking Miners.


Testimony Against Striking Miners.
WALLACE, IDA, July 9.-It has been
learned that the trouble which resulted
in the killing of John Kncebone, a
blacksmith, at the Gem mine, July Sd,
originated in his giving damaging testi-
mony against the strikers in their trials
for rioting here two years ago.
A month ago he and about 30 others
were blacklisted by the Miners Union OF
Gem and Burke, and their employers
were requested to dispose of them. The
mine owners refused either to discharge
or protect them, allowing them to take
their own chances. July Sd, about so
masked men, armed with rifles, went to
the town of Gem and shot Kneebone.
Other men whom they saw in the mines
were warned to hide themselves. They
took Superintendent Neil, William
Summer, tho mine foreman, and two
others, and marched them to the Mon
tana line, where they made them take
an oath never to return to the Couer
d'Alene country again. Their captors
returned to Gem and Burke.
Knowing the difficulty of securing
evidence against the assassins nothing
has been done towards their arrest.

4 representative Of The GAZETTE called
Saturday at the various food supply
centres Of the city and at the markets TO
ascertain the nature of things and to what
extent the Western strikes have affected
the present supplies and the prospect OF
supplies FOR the future.
Iii regard to fruits and vegetables there
appears to be no trouble whatever.
Thomas \. Stayton, the King street com
mission merchant says. Where is 10
trouble whatever with us. Our fruits and
vegetables come from the South. As yet,
you know there is no strike difficulty
there.

lima, Maryland, Virginia and around Della

produce we want without any trouble

THE MEAT SCARCITY HELPS.
1.-THE scarcity Of meat has already
affected the fruit sales on King street.
Within the lnstday or two the general de
mand has jumped 20 per cent. Prices have
moved up accordingly 1t is quite posi-
BILE that the Western strike may be boom
for Southern producers.
"Berries have made jump. We sell to-
day for 20 10 cents what we gould have
been glad to get to 9 cents for last
week. Other fruits and vegetables have
moved up accordingly. However, the
simple Tact that we get our supplies from
the South instead Of the West has saved
Wilmington from the stringcncy other
communities feel, so far as fruits and
vegetables are concerned
THE FLOUR MARKET.
At the office of John X. Mari, No. LOG
East Second street, ii WAS nscertained that
there is no local change in the price of

Mr.. Mari has had no trouble in getting
his flour through Chicago from Min
neapolis.
Last MONTH" Mr.. Mari said. I'VE
ordered four carloads from Minneapolis.
They have got here all safe. You see there,
at the door, some of it is being unloaded
now
THE MEAT MARKET.
There is a scarcity of meat in the city
and prices are going up. The Abattoir has
been pressed hard all the week slaughter
ing for the local market. Prices have gone
up $500 to So per l00pounds. The Abattor
gets its supplies from Baltimore and Ches-
ter county. But these points are now rum
ming short and cattle are being picked up
wherever they can be obtained
The pork market is also going up. The
increase i'll price is from cent to IL cents
perpound. Various firms of the city have
carloads Ell route here, but they have no
idea whatever of their locality.

Joseph seney Just TO See the Fun.
Thomas Snlth, colored youth, IL
years old, was given hearing before
Justice Charles McWhorter last Mon
day charged with setting fire 10 and
burning the stable of Joseph Seney on
Saturday last. The stable Is located IN
the rear Of No. 1928 West Sixth street,
and is surrounded on all sides by frame
houses, so that by setting fire 10 the
stable the youthful firebug run the risk
OF burning the entire block. The fire
department was quick 10 respond on
Saturday, and 1t was due to their
promptness that the destruction of prop
erty was not greater. Sency's loss was
about $50 on the stable and contents.
AT the hearing before Justice
McWhorter, Tony F'idancc and Joseph
Handy, two companions of the firebug,
said that they saw Smith apply the
match to the stable on Saturday. lie
first tried to fire the stable through n
hole in tho boards, but being unsuccess-
ful he set fire to n roll of paper and
threwit into the stable. When the fire
blazed up Smith ran and got up on the
fence, cxclaiming, Look at the fire."
Martha Hance, another witness, said
she saw Smith running from tho fire,
after he had applied tho match to tho
hay.
ln.the lads defence, his mother said
he was over in Silverbrook at the time
the fire broke out. She was contra
dicted by the witnesses who said they
saw him burn the building. Clarence
johnson testified that he heard him say
he was going to burn the stable the
first chance he got Samuel r. French
swore that he saw Smith trying to burn
the stable two weeks ago, and was only
prevented by the interference of French.
Justice McWhortGr decided that the
best plan would be to send Smith to tho
Ferris Industrial School.
