Hon. Chauncey f. Black, President, &C.:
My Dear Sir,-I have carefully read
the communication you lately placed in
my hands, setting forth the future pur-
poses and present needs Of the National
Association of Democratic Clubs.
1.-THE achievements Of this organization
should be familiar TO all who are inter
ested In the continuation Of Democratic
supremacy. and should enlist the encOur-
agement Of those who appreciate the i'm
portance of an effective dissemination Of
Democratic doctrine.
Your association has done much by
way Of educating our people touching the
particular subjects which are recognized
as belonging to the Democratic faith.
but it seems to me that it's best service
has been an enforcement and demon
stration OF the truth that our party is
best organized and most powerful when
1t strives for principles instead Of spells,
and that it quickly responds TO the stimu-
lus supplied by an enlistment I'm the peo-
pies cause.
This acknowledgment OF the impOr-
tant services rendered 10 the Advancement
OF true Democracy suggests that the Ma
tional Association OF Democratic Clubs
and every other Democratic agency
should tabor unceasingy and earnestly
to save our party In this time Of its
power and responsibility, from the degra-
dation and disgrace of a failure 70 re-
deem the pledges upon which our fellow
countrymen intrusted US with the con-
troll Of their Government.
"All who are charged on behalf Il the
Democratic party with the redemption
of these pledges should now be impress
sively reminded that. as we won our way
TO victory under the banner OF tariff ie-
form. so our insistence upon that prind-
pie is the condition OF our retention Of
the peoples trust; and the fealty to party
organization demands the subordination
Of individual advantages and wishes. and
the putting aside of petty and ignoble
jealousies and chickering's. when party
principles and party integrity and party
existence are at stake.
II cheerfully enclose a contribution y
the funds necessary to carry on the good
work Of your organization, with hearty
wish for its continued success and use
fulness. Yours very truly,
"GEOVER CLEVELAND"

Mr.. Mitchell would have been guilty OF

In the opinion OF The Times accept

We care not what evil or CALAMITY

EDITORIAL COMMENTS,

New York Sun: We do not often have
the felicity to agree with Senator Allen
and Senator PETER. but we may be per-
mitted to agree with them. In way.
In their views In regard to Coxey's army
and the other armies OF tramps and buns
now marching on to Washington. We
don't agree with PETER and Allen as to
Coxes. Coxey Is q humbug. He Is not
pious. He cares nothing for religion or
the commonweas. He is advertising
horses and silica sand. But he Is at the
base of = great idea. That Idea IA that
the ne'er-do-wells and loafsrs shall be
supported at the expense OF the well-to-do

Do you need Refrigerator
Nothing short Of the best is worth
buying.
The recognized superiority of the
NORTH STAR REFRIGERATOR
by the Department of Awards of
the Columbian Exposition in the
following six points of excellence:
1st. The circulation system.
end. Insulation.
ord. Trap.
4th. Easy cleaning.
9Th. Purity in food chamber.
9th. Workmanship.
Although not compelled to do so,
there was an actual test made at
the Worlds Fair, having one in
full operation all the time, which,
with the disadvantage of having a
full glass front, consumed but 10
pounds Of ice per day and held the
temperature in provision chamber
between 80 and AS, as shown by
thermometer placed in full view OF
the public all the time.
This Refrigerator contained fresh
meat, butter, eggs, berries, cante-
loupes. tomatoes, salt and matches,
and not one of these articles tasted
of the other. The salt was as dry
the last day as when it was put in,
four months previous; the matches
could be lighted in any part OF the
provision chamber, showing that
the provision chamber was perfectly
dry.
Last year we contracted for 1000
and hadn't enough. This year we
contracted for 800, and. if indica-
tons are worth anything, there will
be none too many.
We wish to impress you with
this fact-that it costs no more to
make a refrigerator right than
wrong. Consequently you can
buy the NORTH STAR as cheap
as any refrigerator you see adver-
tISed.
We have had the exclusive agency
for four years. and stand to-day
ready to make good any complaint
against any one we have ever sold.

.n.res that opinion of the average Amer
,csn. and Is always delighted tnere'o'e'
when II sees the balance OF trade In our
favor.
Mr. Jackson is undoubtedly right In
thinking that part of what we sell
abroad is to pay TIE interest that we
owe abroad. and the freight for trans
portins our goods. But s25i.o0''oee IL q

freight we still have s2oo,Ooocoo to go
into our pockets as net profit and that
will make a large number Of families very
snug and comfortable.
The state Of our foreign trade account
for the years 1889. would seem to snow
beyond question that no such sum as IS
now to our credit is necessary to pay our
interest and freight. In 1883. including Sill
ver as an export, the balance of trade
was against us In the sum Of sl5,36s'5zI.
How did we pay our interest and freight
that year? Mr.. Jackson would. no DOUBT
say. by sending gold abroad. But we
imported that year more gold than we ex-
ported by s25,55sOS3. Now. on Mr.. Jack
sons theory. the year must have ieft
us deep In debt abroad for interest and
freight. But what was the showing next
year-1sss? Our exports exceeded our inn
ports by s1J.2sO,75O Counting silver as an
EXPORT, and we exported more gold than
we imported by s49.667,427. The two years
account then would stand thus:

THE DEAD BANDIT.


ERxn DaIe0xrss Remains xdenefned by H1a
Brother-vIewed by Th0usands.
ARDMoRE, /. T.. June 1L-Sherif
Howard, accompanied by Frank
Fisher and Claude Lacy, citizens Of
Longview, Texas, arrived last night
and viewed the remains of the dead
bandit. They unhesitatingly pro-
nounced him to be the same man who
took the leading part in the Long
view bank robbery, and say that he
was the man who presented the note
of Introduction to the cashier.
Charles Benjamin Dalton arrived on
the early train yesterday morning
from kinghSher, Ok, and in the dead
body at once recognized his wayward
brother, Bill This settles the fact in
the minds of the incredulous that Bill
Dalton now sleeps cold in death.
United States Marshal Williams gave
orders TO his deputies to hand over to
Mrs. Dalton the pistol and all letters,
also all the money found on his per-
son when killed, which was s285. It
is estimate that not less than 10, 600
people have viewed the remains.
The meeting between Charles Dali
ton and Mrs Dalton was very affect
ing. Charles Dalton is man six feet
tall, weighs 1s5, has light hair and
moustache, and a stee1y gray eye. He
takes care of the mother and is a
highly respectable citizen He re-
fused to talk, but said that later he
would prepare a statement for pub
LEGATION which will brush aside many
published fabrications. The only de-
sire now of both he and Mrs. Dalton
seems to be to get possession of the
remains, so they can be sent to Cali
fOrnia for buri al.
Houston Wallace. at whose house
Dalton was killed. and who is now in
Jail here, was identified by J. L. Har-
ris of Duncan as the man who passed
the unsigned LOngview bank bills at
that place where he purchased over
5000 worth of supplies. Wallace has
been on the scout for four years and
he was formerly United States dep
uty marshal on the force here before
that time.
According to Mrs. Dalton, her hus-
band has never been under arrest,
nor was he ever wounded, until the
fatal single shot of Loss Hart ended
his career.
Deputy Stewart arrested Mrs. Dali
ton on process issued by the prose-
cutting attorney for the Eastern dis
trict of Texas, charging her with re-
ceiving stolen property
Between $35, 900 and $50, 900 will be
paid by three states, two territories
and the United States authorities to
the nine officers who composed the
posse when Dalton was killed

A SkirmiSh Took Place (which

UNIoNrowN, Pa, June 1.-The
truce is ended and again the armed
deputies in the coke regions have
made killing. One striker killed in
his boots, two others dying and an
other shot through is the result of
the battle yesterday morning at Lee
mont There were six deputies on
one side and a mob of six strikers on
the other.
Unbiased testimony is to the effect
that the mob not only provoked but
compelled the deputies to fire on them
after the strikers had compelled them
to retreat and had fired several shots
at them.
Deputies armed with search war
rants have been going through all the
houses in the vicinity. but up to
late hour not a trace of the four men
held as prisoners by the strikers has
been seen and it is feared that they
have been murdered by the strikers
in revenge for the loss of men hurt in
battle. Twelve arrests have been
made and at least 200 more will fol-

LEXINGTON, KY, June 11.-There
has been much bitterness injected
into the congressional campaign from
the very beginning. but since Owens
attacked Colonel Breckenridge so bit
terly in his Paris speech this feeling
has grown enormously, until there
are many cool headed men who be-
lieve trouble of a serious character
will take place here to-day.
The city is full of strangers, Evan
Settle and his Owen county friends
having arrived here in large numbers
There will be 5000 strangers in the
city and as the feeling between the
Owens and Breckenridge factions Is at
white heat there is no telling what

The question which is shaking England
to its very foundation at present is whsth-
er the spoon shall be entirely banished
from good society, and, if not, how far
the fork shall be substituted for it. There
are those who hunt their ice with fork,
which let's the melting margin drop
through the prongs, and some stick their
small trident into jelly at the risk of
seeing the whole thing slip off like an
amorphous, translucent, gold colored
snake. The same with such compounds
as custard pudding, creme renversee and
the like, where it is a feat of skill to
skewer the separate morsels deftly and
where small sea of unutilized juice Is
left on the plate. The monotonous use
of the fork and craven fear of the vul-
garity lying in the spoon seem to MS
mere table snobbery. 1t is well known
English axiom that the fork is to be used
in preference to the spoon when possible
and convenient.
The people who use it always-when
scarcely possible and decidedly incon-
venient-are people SO desperately afraid
of not doing the right thing that they do
the wrong out of very fear of Mrs. Grun-
dy. 1t is the same with the law of eat
ing all soft meats with the fork only, alb
juring the knife. On the one hand, you
will see people courageously hewing with
their knives at sweetbread, supreme de
volatile and the like. On the other, the
snobbish fine work themselves into a fe-
yer with their forks against outlet and
would not for the lives of them use
knife to cut with ease that which by
main force and great discomfort they
tear asunder with q fork.-New York

Fifteen Deputies Fired Upon From AM
bush by Twenty Miners.
CRIPPLE CREEK, Col, June 11.-About
8 o'clock yesterday morning a party
of fifteen deputies, while approaching
Bull Hill on their way from camp to
this place, were fired on by
twenty miners. The deputies, be-
ing unprepared for an attack,
re treated without returning the fire.
General Brooks called out enough
militia to surround the miners and ar
rested them. No one was in jured-
Sheriff Bowers denies that he has lost
control of the deputies, and General
Brooks denies having made any such
statement 1t was false report that
caused Governor Waite to order Gen
eral Brooks to disarm the deputies.
General Brooks says his force may
not be large enough to protect all the
mining property about here. Should
this prove to be the case he will press
into service the deputies now on the
ground.
