TUG-OF.WAR.
Another Tournament Will Be Held
i'm August.

Owing to the amount of talk that has been
heard recently in many places where tug-of-war
men congregate concerning contests that have
taken place recently in several OF the country
towns, ID. r. Mcneil, the originator Of the
sport, has concluded TO give another tourna-
ment, in which there cannot he any possible
plans which he says Will offset any scheme that
might be concocted by teams that would rather
sell out for small consideration than pull on
the square.
The contests will be held In August at Gen.
rral Park Within a mammoth tent which the
enterprising managerl has recently received
from the East. Twenty thousand dollars will
be given In prizes provided there are sixteen
teams conteSilng.
The tournament will be open to all teams,
and each team must deposit certain amount
TO guarantee its presence on The cleats wnen
time comes for action.

THE PRESS TO THE HOUSE.

The people have no recourse IL the
house fails them. They have given
their command to their representatives,
and the GormaniteS must either be
forced to yield or to take the RESPONSE
bility of defeating the will of the
people.-New York World.
To accede to this ''stand- and deliver
threat of the Maryland senator and the
trusts and monopolies behind him would
be to surrender the Democratic position,
TO confess that the party can not or will
not carry out its promises and redeem
its pledges.-N. 7. Times,
The country is expecting much Of the
house of representatives in the settle
ment of the tariff question for the pres
ent. 1t depends on the house whether
the Democratic party shall redeem its
pledges and give to the people meas
ure of that genuine tariff reform tor
which they voted, and 1T must not be
forgotten that the house of representa-
tives will answer to the people this fall
for its action. The senate is intrenched
behind wall of indireetion and form
aity, but even it will soon be directly
responsible to the people also. A bold
stand by the representatives of the
people will win. and that stand ought to
be made. The people expect it to be
made, and they have the right to ex-
pect it.-1ndianapolis Sentinel.

CLEARED. NOT COMPLICATED.

Some grave and serious senator, one
OF those sedate old chaps who are too
conservative to assert off-hand that
spade is spade, but must deliberate
over it first; one of those delicious old
dolts who imagine that when affairs are
not prearranged by conference of HIM
self aud his fellows they are bound to
get into tangle and go right to the
demnition bowwows; some such one
as this shook his wise old head when
that astounding letter of the president
reached his ears and feared that it
would complicate matters"
And he said it seriously, with appre-
hensioD looking out of every Granny Of
his scanned old face, and he wasn't the
least bit aware that ne was getting off
good. Complicate, indeed! As if every
thing was straight aud unmixed and
untang ledsand pellucid before the letter
was read As if things hadn't been
getting mixed from the moment the
congress met and the house committee
began twisting up into knots and coils
the simple declaration of the great con-
vention. And then. after some of the
sensible fellows in the house had taken
out some of the kinks the committee
had gotten into the bill. it went oyer to
the senate and ran into a forest of COM
plications.
Look back to the tortuous course that
poor bill has run in the senate, trying to
get twists enough in it to please each
one of the old fellows who must be
pleased or he will smash something. Ii
was banged on the head and thumped
on the back, heightened ana shortened.
squeezed up and fattened out, ad-
valoremed and specihcked until the
complications it brought from the
house were magnified hundredfold.
And, after all this had been gone
through with, and every trusts senator
had had his twist att it, and it had been
made TO satisfy all the joDbers and
schemers, and While all the while the
people were getting sick of the whole
mess and wanting to thump somebody
and raging because they couldn't wipe
the whole bunch of SenilitIes out of
Office; now when the people are roaring
and the press laundering. these
yacuous old fellows actually think they
have gotten the thing lnio beautiful
shape, as clear as bell and as straight as
aplummet ;and they are astounded when
they find that the president and the
house and the people only think they
have made precious mess of the mat
ter and COMPOUNDED asses of them
selves.
The letter of the presi dent clears the
situatlon; not complicates it. The stu
alton would have been indeed conpli-
Gated had the house bowed lis head 10

A VAIN BOAST.

Some of the leaders of organized labor
who have been engaged in the recent
strike profess to believe that the result
has tended towards the disorganization
of the old labor unions. and has demon
strated that new ones. based upon the
principles that have governed the Amer
lean Railway union, must take their
places. They declare that the Brother.
hood of Locomotive Engineers, presided
over by p. NJ. Arthur, and the Fedora
ton OF Labor. of which Samuel Com
pers is the head, have demonstrated
their impotency, and that the eyes of all
friends of organized labor will be di-
rected to new order, 10 be built upon
the ruins of these.
There is one drawback TO this ar
rangement. There are 10 ruins upon
which any one can build. The Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers and the
Federation are certainly not ruins.
They are stronger than they ever were
before. Their membership is larger.

GIVE THEM A WHOLE Loa

There recently emanated from Wash
iDgton a press dispatch, stated to rest
Oh the authority of high official, which
is evidently one of those inspired state
ments designed to informally express
The views of the administration. The
dispatch stated that 1.-THE administration
will not cease its efforts until the con-
stitutional right of every man to obtain
employment free from intimidation is
thoroughly established"
This is but half loaf. 1t is right,
sound and Democratic. but not enough.
lnseparable from this right of labor is
another right equally sacred. without
which the right to labor is but little else
than the slaves obligation to.
The right to work under conditions of
free contract involves the right to eX-
pend the wages thus earned under pre-
cisely the same conditions. If there is
to be no intimidation to interfere with
the right of working, it must be supple
mented by the right to buy without
intimidation, obstruction or denial. The
government goes but halfway in its
duty when it guarantees the free con-
tract to work and denies the right to
the wage Garner of free and unre-
stricted purchase. 1t is mockery to
say to any man that he may work for
whom he will for what wages ne will.
but that he cannot buy what he will OF
whom he will.
1t is the partial recognition, by a
Democratic administration and a Dem.
ocratic congress, of the Republican
policy of withholding from the Garner
of wages the natural right of every man
to buy with his earnings what he needs
on the same conditions on which he
earns, that is the most discouraging
feature of the political situation. 1t is
the evident control of congress by
rapacious combinations, compelling 1t
to use the federal power to enable them
to exact unearned profits from consum-
ers IN contrayention of the demand of
the party, that is making people ask
whether we really have representative
government.
Nothing would so invigorate the party
and inspire it again with the enthusi-
asm which carried it to victory in 80 and
1872, which would restore so quickly the
waning confidence in it. aswould be an
other inspired dispatch from Washing
ton experimenting the one we note, as
surfing wage carriers that it is the pur-
pose of this administration and of the
party it represents TO gain for them the
right to buy with the wages earned nn-
der free and unintimidated competition
what of life'S necesSaries they need ull-
der free and unrestricted competition.

DYNAMITE PLOT.
An Attempt to Blow up Pc nnsyl-
vania Town.

<AA hstCAApt ~ kSlOW up q 4 AuSy -
vania Town.
UNIoNToWN, Pa, July %. -Dynami-
tiers made another attempt last night to
blow up the town of Dunbar, just north
of here. At o'clock a bomb was
exploded under the house OF non
union workman named Waugh in the
center OF the town. The building was
blown to pieces and the town badly
shaken by explosion. Windows were
broken all over the borough and Chin
neys thrown from their position. The
family escaped uninjured, which is con-
Sidered miraculous. A short time later
dynamite bomb was found under the
house of William Boden, another nom
unionist. The bomb had evidently
been thrown at the house. but did not
explode. Last night was one OF terror
III Dunbar, the town being in the hands
OF the strikers. From early in the
evening there was considerable shoot
ing done in the town, and in the sur
rounding country. No one was shot.
but it is thought the object was to at
tract the attention of people to other
parts from that at which the dynamiters
were goin to make their attack. The
people of the town were conscious that
troublesWaS brewing, and many remained
on the streets ali. night. Nearly
1900 strikers have gathered here today
for meeting. Many are armed with
guns and reVolyerS.

MASON, M'GINN AND O'CON.
NOR.

Albert Garvin was not under thirty
five years of age, and was not a resident
of the city of ST. Paul for two years or
any other period preceding his appoint
ment as chief OF police. Yet Mister
McCardy never objected to paying Gar
WINS salary during his two years OF Of
fee.
Mister McCardy's newspaper friends
have not invented any new encomlums
of him since the GLOBE called attention
to his action in this matter. In order to
give them further chance TO do so, 1t
may be worth while to call their atten.
tion to another case or two of the same
kind, wherein Mister McCardy's watch
dog growl was not heard.
John IL. Mason was appointed chief
of detectives June 2. 1892. He stated
his age at the time as being thirfy-siX
years. and the city records have per-
petuated the statement. Mr.. Mason
was an Englishman. He was first
heard of III connection with the census
squabble. 1t is doubtful whether he
was qualified either on the score OF
residence In this city or of American
citizenship to act as chief of detectives.
1t is certain that he was not qualified in
point OF age. according to Mister Me-
Cardy's Interpretation of the law.
Why did not Mister McCardy shed
some red ink in the case of Chlef OF
Detectives John Ii. Mason?
Mr.. Mason was removed by Mayor
Wright "for the good of the service"
He was succeeded as chief of detectives
by John ii. McGinn. Mister McCardy
says he was disqualified on the score OF
age; yet Mister McCardy paid him his
salary. McGinn was not under thirty
five years of age; nay, the records show
that he was over fOrty-fiye. Why did
not Watchdog McCardy emit that low,
ominous growl for which he has now
become famous in the newspapers. or
at least kick over the red inkstand,
when he came to pay McGInn's salary?
McGinn's appointment differs in no
important respect from that OF John j.
O'Conuor, the present chief of detect
ives. Mr.. O'Connor is a recognized ca
pablo man in his profession. If O'Con-
nor is disqualified on the score of age.
so was McGinn and so asMason. II Mis-
ter McCardy was right IN passing police
pay rolls with McGinu's and Mason's
names on them, then what must be
thought of his action i'll refusing to pass
those with O'Connor's name on now?
Mister McCardy, speak up. Either
your virtue or your understanding has
improved in two years, or else you are at
present playing very despicable politi-
cal trick. Which is it, Mister McCardy?

PAY CAR SPECIAL.
Attempt to Wreck the Train to Do
Robbery

LIMA, O.. July 23.-An attempt to
wreck and rob the pay car on the Gin
cinnati, Hamilton & Dayton road was
made today. AS the special train haul
lug the pay car was approaching
Chilllcothe on the Norfolk & Western
branch, the engine collided with num-
Der of freight cars which had been run
out on the main track. The engine was
partly wrecked, and Engineer Sweet
man and Fireman Kirsbner were badly
injured. 1t is generally believed that
these freight cars were run down on
the main track by some miscreants who
desired to wreck and rob the pay car.
The pay car had been over nearly the
entire system, however, and very little
money remained Oh hand when the at
tempt was made.
