GD1IOR AETCHU4 KEYSTONE: In
view Of certain specific charges pre-.
ferred against my conduct in the
last session Of tho state legislature
by certain members Of tho fusion
party in their anxiety to somehow
make . case before tho voters Of
Alturas county, l desire to call the
public's attention for moment to
some plain matters Of record which
will without any further comment,
prove that my accusers have been
guilty of falsehood.
First, it has been charged that /
introduced, advocated and voted
for the bill to create the Office of
State Boiler Inspector. In answer
to that assertion will simply refer
to Senate bill No. IA, introduced
by Mr.. Neill. That was the boiler
inspection bill. When it came to
the House l opposed it az : danger
Gus political measure, and / can
call to witness every honorable
member Of the House that / OPP
posed it openly in debate before
that body. For the vote on its
final passage, see House Journal
page 192-Ayes: II Republicans, 9
democrats and / Populist; Nayes:
5 republicans, 4 Populists { Ballen-
tine, Benson, Lewis and McCarter).
Early in the session | intro
duced, by request, a similar bill,
but upon investigation / immedi-
ately wrote the Trainer of same that
l could not support it, and at my
request before the committee having
the bill in charge, it wac never re-
ported back to the House.
Second, it has been asserted by
some of our political adversaries,
obviously in the desire to prejudice
against us the brewers of the coun-
try, that the Populists in the last
legislature defeated a measure to
establish a reduced license for the
manufacture and sale of beer.
Again I refer to the record. Upon
page SO of the House journal it will
he found that the only bill Of that
nature which came before the legis-
lature was introduced by McCarter
(populist), Of Logan county, and
was referred to a republican COM
mittee to ''sleep the sleep of death.
They didn't think enough of the
brewers of the state to even report
hat bill back to the House. There
vas one man on the committee in
Favor.o of the bill but it was pocketed
~ the chairman and lost to view.
The supreme cheek of some fus-
onists in this county in endeavor-
ng to shift the responsibility for the
nisdeeds of their own kin upon the
shoulders of the Peoples party is
IN a par with their ofttimes supreme
Indifference to the truth.
Yours truly, GEO. J. LEWIS.

Old Quartz Mines.

A very encouraging feature Of the
present gold mining outlook in Cal.
ifornia is the rehabilitation of old
quartz mines which were partly
opened and then abandoned &c
years or more ago, when the con.
ditions surrounding mining opera
tons were very different from what
they are now. At that time We had
very extravagant idess ~ to the
profits of quartz mining and the
methods Of conducting it. Small
economies were not practiced or
even thought of. Superintendent
with little to do, wore paid exorbi-
tant salaries, and the whole system
was s'top heavy" with useless super
numeraries in the way of salaried
officials. Moreover. machinery and
all sorts Of supplies were very ex-
pensive, and means o. transporta-

WAGES AT HOMESTEAD.

Notice has been posted at Home
stead announcing that a new scale
VIII be made. By some it has been
thought that this meant a reduction
of wages, and that here was another
case where the Democratic tariff had
affected, or would affect. the
wages of the workingmen there
adversely. The idea that a. reduction
OF wages would be asked by the Car
negie company also prevailed in Pitts
burg. The Dispatch of that city sent
a reporter to interview Mr.. Loveioy.
the secretary of the Carnegie com
pany, about the matter He was asked
if published interview purporting to
be with an official of the company and
stating the company would ask for a
reduction of wages in the new scale to
be prepared for the Edgar Thompson
Steel works was correct. Mr.. Lovejoy
answered as follows:
1.-The officials of the company have
been very careful not to say anything
about it, replied Mr.. Lovejoy, land /
am positive that none of them made
the statement attributed to one of
them"
Has nothing been said about asking
for a reduction in wages?"
No" replied Mr.. Lovejoy.
''Mr. Carnegie has recently written
an article for publication in which he
said there was tendency toward
higher wages in this country. Has
this statement of his any connection
with the present notice of a new
scale?"
Mr.. Lovejoy looked up quickly,
smiled, and finally said: well, now,
the fact is, we haven't said wages will
be less. In fact, we don't know exact
ly what the scale will be- 1t will be
seven weeks before it will be prepared.
That's a long time yet, and the present
time is too early to say what we will
do"
Then the fact that the company has
posted UP notices at Braddock and
Homestead, announcing that a new
scale will be made, does not necessari-
ly imply that there will be reductions
in wages?''
mo, it does not. At the Edgar
Thomson works a scale was made for
the years 1889, 1890 and 1891. We gave
the notice required by the contract.
and a new scale was made for 1892
1893 and 1894. That scale is about to
expire, and we have notified the men
The scale at Homestead is signed for a
year"
The proposed adjustment will affect
some three hundred tonnage men; it
will not affect the laborers and day
men at ALL
1t will be impossible for calamity
howlers TO make use of this posted no
tice as campaign document, for, as
Mr.. Lovejoy says, they don't know
what the scale kill be as it will be
seven weeks before it is prepared. It
is more than likely that with the re-

dispute between the two countries and
it should pass from the control of
diplomacy to the chances of war, it
would be impossible to conjecture how
far it might spread or what it's results
would be. France undoubtedly desires
to regain that military prestige she lost
at Sedan, but whether a war with En-
gland would serve that end is very I'M
certain. 1t would be a naval war, as
the invasion of either country by the
other is practically impossible. If there
IS an alliance offensive and defensive
between France and Russia, a war be-
tween England and France would be
Russia's opportunity to push the In
dian frontier further south, if not to
undertake the direct conquest of India.
1t is quite possible that if France and
Russia, in case of war between En-
gland and the former country, were to
act In concert, that the Triple Alliance
would also take a hand. This would
mean a general war; and the remaking

ANOTHER WAR SCARE.

The sudden summoning Of the British
cabinet to attend a special meeting has
had the effect to create a war scare. 1t
is said that the relations between En-
gland and France are strained; that
this unexpected meeting of the British
cabinet is in consequence Of those rela-
TONS That there is any very serious
difficulty between the two countries is
scarcely probable.
The two countries have conflicting in
terests in almost all parts of the globe.
Some months ago an English party
was fired upon by a French party in
Africa, but it was by mistake, and the
affair was satisfactorily explained with
out engendering any ill-feeiing. The
French press has been quite hostile to
England for some time, but that hos
tility has not invaded the Tuillieries.
Nor has it had any disturbing effect on
Downing street
For some years the Egyptian question
has been a source of irritation to
acute stage. If there is any really seri-
Gus difficulty between the two countries
now, it may have been precipitated by
some totally unlooked-for occurrence.
The dispatches from France do not
seem nearly so alarming as those from
England, though this may be because
the news service from that country is
not so good.
If there should be a really serious

A LITTLE INCONSISTENCY.

The Republicans just now are BOOM
ing Mr.. Frank Cannon's candidacy by
telling how much he has been doing
for Utah in the last two years. A con-
temporary says that so far as it can
find out, he has been minding his own
business, and been engaged in trying to
get an enterprise on foot which will
give employment to a great many
hundreds of men in this territory; which
will double the taxable property of
Weber county; and which, when fully
carried out, will double the population
of that county. Well and good. Mr.
Cannon has been engaged in a large
money making scheme, one that is to
double the taxable property and popu-
lation of Weber county. His scheme
is on the high road to successful ac-
complishment and is soon to be realized
Now we want to call the attention of
our Republican friends to one thing, a
thing that is absolutely at variance
with the hard times, and all the other
evils with which they are charging the
Democrats, and this thing is that Mr.
Cannon conceived and matured his
scheme and has succeeded in securing
all the money necessary to accomplish
lit, according to our Republican friends
all under Democratic administration
that is charged with killing every in
dustry in Utah. The threat" against
the tariff and Democratic supremacy
were present all the while, yet Mr.
Cannon finds no difficulty in inducing
capitalists to invest million dollars in
this territory, territory that is Demo-
cratic and whose Delegate in Congress
defeated Mr.. Cannon two years ago.
Are not the Republicans a little incon-
sistent when, in the same breath, they
cry out about Democratic hard times
and tell of Mr. Cannon's achievement
in inducing capital to come to Demo-
cratic territory?

r s'There was no panic during the first
quarter of 1893 and yet the number of
failures and the amount of liabilities
were both greater than during either
TIE second or the third quarter of the
present year. In other words, there
have been less business disasters in
the same length of time since the LIST
of April this year than there were dur
ing the first quarter Of 1893. when, ac-
cording to the protection philosophers,
the country was still on the mountain
top of prosperity, where it had been
placed by the Mckinley act" says the
chicago Herald. The Mckinley law
has proved that high tariff walls do
NOT keep bad times out. and the next
thing the protectionists should do is to
roof the country over; then bad times
