Peace In the Clearfield Region.

CLEARFIELD, Pa, June 5.-Peace of
the most profound character prevails in
the Clearfeld coal region, but the best in
formed, both among the strikers and the
operators, think it is only temporary, and
that hostilities or surrender for one side
or the other must soon follow. 1t has
been rumored since Saturday that the
Mitchell Coal company intended to start
work in one of its many mines in north
ern Cambria county yesterday, and trou-
BILE was looked for in that locality, but up
to the present time no such steps have
been taken by either side The strikers
all over this region are in high spirits,
and there are many indications that coal
is very scarce.

Senator Voorhees, Denies.

Senator Voorhees, was first asked about
the report of Secretary Carlisles recent
visit to the finance committee and his de-
mand for protection to sugar because of
campaign contributions. He denied that
any such interview had ever taken place,
Il never" said he, talked with Mr..
Carlisle on the subject of sugar but once,
and that was in the office of the secretary,
and it was early in the tariff work. when
we discussed the question of the polari-
scopic test and the question of specific or
ad valorem duties. 1 never heard the sub
ject of contributions by the Sugar trust
discussed in regard to tariff legislation by
the secretary of the treasury or indeed
among ourselves. 1 never saw Mr. Have
meyer and should not know him if 1
should meet him. Nor do know hui
man being who belongs to the trust"
Senator Voorhees, also said he had never
seen the memorandum on the sugar sched-
ule which Mr.. Carlisle was alleged to have
prepared and handed to him. Mr.. Voor-
hees said that he had been in frequent
consultation with Secretary Carlisle or
various other features of the tariff, and
that having been a member of tho COM
mittee for II years he knew 1t to be the
practice Of the committee to consult with
the secretary in considering financial mat
tiers.
Mr.. Voorhees, also declared that there
was not a word of truth in the story of the
Sunday meeting of the finance committee,
when, it was alleged, those interested in
sugar occupied an adjacent room and pre-
pared the sugar schedule while the COM
mittee waited.
Jones Talked with Havemeyer.
Senator Jones stated that Mr.. Carlisle
had been with the committee frequently
when the bill was in course of prepare
ton, but never except when he was sent
for, and he never made any proposition
with reference to the sugar schedule,
though he discussed 1t at the request Of
the committee.
Senator Jones stated that he met Mr..
Havemeyer once. There had been some
difference Of opinion about the sugar
schedule, and Senator Camden had invit.
Cd Ms, EAYsmsysE 30 come % che capitol
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1894-06-05

and talk the matter over with him. He
had met him at Senator Camden's rooms,
opposite the Arlington hotel.
He had then talked with Havemeyer
about the cost of refining sugar in this
country and IN Europe and had used the
data thus obtained in making his calcula-
tions with Senator Gallery. He was in the
room with Mr. Havemeyer about 10 min
uteS.
Senator Harris testimony consisted of
a general and specific denial of all the
allegations upon which the investigation
is based. He had never, he said, heard of
the reported secret visit of Secretary Car
Isle to the finance committee or of any
suggestions he had made with regard to a
sugar bounty. He also stated that he had
never invested in stocks of any kind, and
if other senators had bought sugar stocks
he was unaware of the fact.

BADLY TREATED.

The Herald and News is obliged to
say that in its opinion the Rev. J. A.
Sligh has been badly treated ic the
house of bis friends. he was chair
man of the Colleton Idea" Committee
and gave his time and talents and
wrote letters while sick in bed to keep
things in line. He kept Newberry in
line, though it was at one time admit
ted to be very doubtful ground. He
Just took off his coat for J. Gary, and
now to be slaughtered as he has been
is base ingratitude. And this is not the
first time be has felt the cold steel
pierce bis side. This last, however,
was cruel blow. He had only been
in Office for two years, and there was
the prospect and the hope for term of
six years at $1,000 a year. That is
something not lightly to be cast aside.
And then, too, II. R. Thomas was re-
elected-the man who had attacked
him here at Newberry in his absence.
The prevailing opinion around town
here as expressed was that the parson
had been badly treated. No doubt he
will be rewarded with the clerkship of
the Senate, or with the promise Of
soue good, easy job in the future. But
promises are not like realities and do
not bring in the shekels, and while a
man is waiting Cd them be will grow
old. The Herald and News extends
its sympathies and condolences.

Here are Speaker Crisp and Senator
Walsh of Georgia both advocating the
free and unlimited coinage of silver at
the present ratio, while Hoke Smith of
the same State advocates free coinage,
but wants the ratio fixed by inter
nstional agreement; yet all three OF
these gentlemen are prominent Demo
crats, and all claim to stand on the
National Democratic platform. There
were President Cleveland and Senator
German standing as antipodes on the
tariff question, yet both prominent and
leading Democrats. AS a matter Of
fact you cannot adopt a platform and
require absolute and unconditional en-
doSsement Of every letter and every
plank according to any one standard
81 Interpretation. If you do you will
soon have no party. What we should
insist on is adherence to the broad and
fundamental principles of Democracy.
Take questions like the tariff and your
views are governed largely by your
local surroundings, though Democracy
does pot endorse the protection of one
interest at the expense of another.
