Ayast Difference between What Cleveland
Says and Does.
Under our form OF government the value Of
labor as IN eme of national prosperity
should be distinctly recognized. and the well
fare OF the laboring men should be regarded as
especially entitled TO legislative care.
These are the words of Grover Cleve-
land, penned 1T the executive mansion
April 90, 1885, in a message to the SEN
ate and house of representatives on the
arbitration Of labor disputes. This was
q proper subject for the chief executive
of the nation to deal with, and his sen
timents, as expressed, were proper. But
what wa his meaning2 Have his &C.
items proved the honest intent of his
words? Or were these words, like so
many others that he has uttered, hut
mere catch pennies-mere bids for dc.
bauching the franchise :" al the peoples
~expense?" Let us see.
We now have before us the fear of
free trade. The Democratic admins
tration proposes to reform" (save the
mark) the tariff that protects labor.
"The welfare of the laboring man
should be regarded, said Mr.. Cleve-
land? All that he cares for and the
free trade bosses care for is TO get
cheap foreign Injuries from Europe and
wear foreign made clothes. They don't
carefor American goods or clothes made
by American labor.
How will these changes in the tariff
affect labor? III the Democratic admin.
istration adheres to its platform upon
which it was elected to Office, it will
put n eveKue tax upon coffee, tea and
sugar. These are three articles of
daily use in every household. Ii means
an increaseof nearly 10 cents perpound
in the price of coffee, 10 cents more
per pound TO pay for tea and an increase
OF from I TO 3 cents per pound in the
price of sugar. Besides this the internal
evenu tax on beer is to be doubled, so
that the workingman will have to pay
more money for his beer or else get less
beer for his money. But what increased
taxes are there to be on the bosses? Their
champagne and other foreign wines will
pay ~ per cent less duty than former
ly, and their foreign clothes will cost
them frcm % to 65 per cent less. The
workingman will make this mp by pay
ing more for his tea, sugar, coffee and
beer.-American Economist.

General Schofield said after the confer

the field, except those in California, had
been received, and that all reported quiet

from him was eagerly watched for. The
conference broke up about 1890. General
Schofeld said that he regarded the strike
as practically settled, and that he did not
anticipate any more rioting or disorder.

SPRING VALLEY, ILL.,, July 1.-THE
long-expected wholesale arrests for the

store in this city commenced to-day, the
sheriff making the arrests, assisted by a

quantity of dress goods. provisions and
groceries were discovered and identified as
property stolen from the store. in no in
stance where goods were identified as be-
longing TO the company were they seized
but, instead, the head of the household
was arrested and thrown into the guard
house at the military camp. The policy
OF the coal company is to hold the city re-

the looting OF the store, and the goods are
allowed TO remain where they are. Ten
arrests were made to-day, and the prison.

MUCH LIKE ALTGELD.
Governor stone Troubled About His
States Rights.

KANSAS CITY, July 12.-In a private let
ter to Colonel Stone, of this city, Governor
Stone, OF Missouri, declares that he has
been misunderstood in his controversy with
United States Marshal Shelby and Presi-
dent Cleveland. The letter adds: "If con-
dition shall be brought about in st. Louis
such as now exists in Chicago, which God
forbid, / would not hesitate a minute to
ask the President to send troops to that
city. But if the President should without
any seeming necessity, without conference
with the State authorities. send these
troops into the city and quarter them there
to do police duty / would protest against
it as an insult TO and an infringement upon
the sovereignty of the State.
The line between the State and federal
government has been well drawn by the
Constitution and by repeated and even
recent decisions of the Supreme Court OF
the United States and the Supreme Courts
OF the States. We should be slow to es-
tablish precedents that may be made the
basis of dangerous aggression at another
time. The soil OF Missouri is a part of
the territory over which the Constitution
limits supreme authority. But the author
ity of these federal officers, is hedged
about by constitutional and statutory
limits and they have no right to exceed
them. for when they do they trespass upon
and disparage the authority of the State"

A KNIGHTS ADVICE.
lie Thinks Labor should Look Before
Ii Jumps.

DENVER, Col, July 12.-J. n. Corbin,
district secretary of the Knights of Labor
said last evening concerning Sovereign's
address: THE so-called order is merely a
request, and can have no effect in the
West. 1t seems to have been written under
the influence OF the labor atmosphere at
Chicago. For the West to strike would
not aid the issue, but would injure labor
by affecting the position it has obtained
through years of effort. Labor advances
by evolutionary, not by revolutionary
moves; by actual, not by physical, force
The true leader OF labor now is the one
who seeks to keep reason enthroned, who
tries to keep the masses from striking
A great storm is on the country. The true
labor captain will try. to steer his ship
through it with the least trouble. The
knights of Labor in the West will be in
fluenced by nothing else. The wisdom OF
their course will be seen when the storm
is over. Let labor ever look and think
before IL Jumps"

LABOR CONFERENCE.

SDeech by Mr. Debs


CHICAGO, July 12.-The executive COM
mittee of the National Federation of La
Dor, of which Samuel Gompers, of New
York, is chief, held secret session early
this morning. and at IL o'clock went into
conference at the Briggs House with a
large number of official representatives of
trades unions. Among the national labor
organizations represented were the printers.
cigar makers, painters and decorators.
carpenters, brewers, trainmen, miners, fire
men, building and trades councils. bakers.
tailors, iron and steel workers, musicians
machine wood workers and seamen said
10 represent in all about 100000 men. The
meeting was presided over by President
Gompers, and the strike situation, from
the time of its inception, fully investi-
gated. Particular attention was paid to
the Pullman strike, and reports were heard
from the various local organizations which
have already decided to strike Neither
President Debs nor General Master Work
man Sovereign was present at the morn
ing session, although it was announced
that Debs would be called to the confer
ence before its close. There seemed to be
a desire on the part of many of those
present TO give Mr.. Sovereign no invitation
to attend the conference, although IL was
stated Dy a member OF the federation eX-
ecutive council that Mr.. Sovereign might
be called in some time during the meeting.
1t was apparent that the knights of La
Dor were not looked upon with favor, and
the indications were that a ruction be-
tween that order and the Federation might
be DEVELOPED at the present conference.
All the delegates, however. absolutely re-
fused to discuss the probability OF such a

Deputies at KensingfOn

CHICAGO, July 12.-United States Dep
uty Marshal Peter Fische and an eleven
year-old boy. Arthur Gregory, were fatally
wounded tonight in fusillade between
deputies in Kensington. Some unknown
person had placed on the Illinois Central
tracks several torpedoes. which were ex-
ploded by an outgoing train. When the ex-
plosions occurred two parties OF deputy
marshals rushed out from cars in which
they were sleeping on opposite sidss of
the tracks. They seemed ratified by the un-
expected incident, and began discharginl,
their revolvers recklessly. and with the re-
suit named above. The boy Gregory was
one OF a number of residents OF the vicin-
ity who rushed out at the sound of the
shooting. Several other people had narrow
escapes. The deputies assert that they
were firing at three men who were seen
running away from where the torpedoes
exploded. but people in the vicinity say
there was no one about. Five of the dep
uites were arrested by the police.

days. profound quiet has prevailed in that
district. The strikers and their sympa-

scrimmages no disorder has been reported
The expert butchers at the houses of Ar
mour. Swift and Morris were ordered TO
strike. but the order was needed only by
half of the butchers. a small squabbIe
took place when some nonunion butchers
went TO take the place of the union men,
but quietus was soon put upon the affray
by q company of militiamen, and the
slaughtering went on, though on smaller
scale than usual. 1t is anticipated how
eve- that in day or two the butchers
will again all be in line.
