THE MEN ARE WAITING.

No Developments In the Matter Of tho
T Great Northern Employees.
ST. PAUL, May 10. There have been
no new developments in the latest phase
of the Great Northern troubles, and
there probably will not be any for two
or three days. Nothing definite was
accomplished at the conferences, the
arbitration committee simply discussing
the situation with the men as a matter
of courtesy, but not with the idea Of
delivering any official Interpretation of
the clause in the agreement in regard
to the reinstatement of any of the
strikers.
Will Await Reply.
A few of the men were sitting in La.
Dor hall talking over the situation, and
in reply to inquiries as to what action
they proposed taking, it was stated that
they would wait for a few days for a
reply from Mr.. Hill to the representa-
tions which had been made
to him in regard to, their
grievances. In the meantime con.
siderable correspondence is going on
among the men along the line, and the
members of the committee now here say
that if the company persists in discharg-
ing men and putting others in their
places, as they claim it has been doing,
there will be tie-up compared with
which the last one was mere bagatelle.

VICIOUS. VOORHEES,.
HE HATES PROSPERITY FOR AMERICA
AND FOR AMERICANS.

Theories and Falsehoods Permeated His En-
His Quibbles and Prevarications-Hi
Vulgar Abuse Recoils Upon Himself.
The rabid remarks made by Senator
Voorhees, during his opening debate
upon the tariff bill in the senate bear
strong earmarks of Clevelandism, and
many opinions have been expressed that
the senator's speech was at least prompt
ed by the president, even if not actual
~ inspired by the White House tenant.
Such words as *'greed, - 'stealthiness, -
"crime," ''selfishness'' and the like
always abound in the speeches and adj
dresses Of the president when he dis
cusses a protective tariff. They are al
most as frequent as the 'I's'' and
''Me's' that have now become a part
Of American history, and the tautology
Of the expressions referred to in the
speech of Senator Voorhees, affords good
reason for the suspicion that it was, be-
fore delivery, submitted to the approval
Of Me.
According to Senator Voorhees,, the
tariff taxes that are now paid to the ex-
tent Of $76, $40, 600 annually ION the
wants, necessities and daily consump-
ton of the laboring men, women and
children of the United States" will be
removed If it be proper to wipe out
$76, $40, 900 of duty that has been COL
lected under the Mckinley tariff, which
Senator Voorhees, stigmatizes as "a gi-
gantic crime,' is the senator not equal
~ guilty Of connivance at crime by re-
tanning a single dollars worth of such
duty? Is it that ''his lust for riches takes
alarm" when he sees so much revenue
slipping away from the treasury, and
that his ''sordid, brutal selishness'' i'm
pels him to keep a grasp even upon some
Of the Mckinley dollars, although they
make him a participation in "a gigantic
crime?''

Mr.. Benedict was public printer dur
ing President Cleveland's first admins
tration and now succeeds F. W. Palm
er, the man who five years ago succeeded
him. In the interval he has been a dep
uty in the office of the New York secre-
tary Of state, from which he retired on
the expiration Of his term at the begin
ming OF the year. He has been quite
prominent in New York state politics
and was an aspirant last fall for the
Democratic nomination as secretary Of
state, but failed to secure it.
Warwick, Orange county, was Mr.:
Benedict's birthplace, and he was born
in the year 1889. He received an aca~
demic education and taught school for
awhile and then went to work as a book
keeper in a railroad office. He had
taste for journalism and was a some

successful paper. His brother, G. 81.
Benedict, was interested with him in
The Press, and in 1878 the firm DUR
chased The Banner of Liberty, a week
~, whose circulation they managed to
extend considerably:
In 1879 Mr.. Benedict was elected q
member Of the legislature and was aft
erward reelected for four successive
terms At the end Of his legislative serv-
ice he was appointed deputy state comp
troller, which position he held when he
was first made public printer. In Al
bany MI. Benedict formed friendship
with Mr.. Cleveland, then governor,
which has been maintained ever since,
and to which his appointment as public
printer is said to be due. LII .%ss
In the early days of the republic the
government printing was done by con-
tract. In 1852 the Office Of superintend-
emit Of congressional printing was Gre /
ated. In 1876 the Office was changed
from congressional to public printer and;
the present system was organized. Mr.. i
