interest locally:
The creeds and platforms of Congrega-
tionalism' by Prof. Williston Walker of
Hartford theological seminary (Scrbner),
has not been praised too highly. 1t is a
noble attempt to write the inner history of
Congregatonalism as represented by its
creeds and platforms, and as connected
with the social and political environment
of the churches. Critical and penetrating,
attractive in style, an possessing genuine
interest and value.
Pembroke by Mary +. Wilkins, is
one of the stron gest and least engaging
novels of the year We cannot praise too
highly the close and fine texture Of Miss
Wilkins's art, both in style and compost
ton; but her people aud scenes are dreary,
and even repellant, almost beyond endur-
ance
benefits forgot" by the late Wolcott
Balester, is a western story of very un-
even texture, crudely yet picturesquely
wrought, with many points of interest and
a good deal of dramatic energy TO its

And Still They Come.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 19.-The defec-
tion Of prominent democrats from the
democratic party continues ana the
movement Of de moCrats to the Populist
party threatens to become q landslide.
The democratic state committee has
received confirmation OF the report that
Freeman Kelley, one OF the leading den-
ocrats Of the northeastern part Of the
state, has joined the POpulists. He was
q candidate for congress in his district
several years ago, and was defeated by
John II. Baker, now United States dis
trict Judge, by forty votes. Kelley
served two terms in the legislature. In
an interview Mr.. Kelley says:
II have left the democratic party and
shall never return TO 1t. The democrats
have lied to me long enough. The party
has made promises year after year and
has failed TO keep them. It has been
captured by the goldbuRs in the East
and the great West, which is suffering
for want OF money with which TO do
business, need never expect any assist
ance from it. 1 have left the party be-
cause it has not been true to lts princi-
pies on the money question. / have
joined the Popullsts because that party
represents my views on the money ques-
tion. We need more money with which
to do business. The circulation per
capita has steadily decreased until there
is not enough money with which tC
carry on the business of the country,
The people can not expect relief from
either Of the old. parties. Neither can get
away from the power Of Wall street.

With Hand UpHfted.

CH1CA GO, July 18-One result Of the
strike and the attendant agitation no.
ticeable here, is the political effect it is
having among the worklngmen.
Richard Powers stood before 9, 800 per-
sons at BricklsYers' hall last night and
bound the assembly by solemn oath to
renounce the two old political parties
and espouse the cause Of the Peoples
party. The scene was dramatic in the
extreme. The speaker had just finished
an srrsignment Of the two political ma
chimes, which he blamed for the present
depr essed condition Of the country.
Then he told the assemblsRs to repeat
the oath after him.
"With my hand upliftsd"-the multi
tude rosred the sentencs-"and before
the everlasting Godg The audience re-
peated after the speaker, and the noise
had scarcely ended before he continued:
81 rshOunce all parties The rest
was drowned in the shouting. Every
hand in the hall was held high and the
rest Of the oath was lost in the noise. 1t
was an Endorsement Of the Peoples
party.
Richard Powers ia the leader of Sea-
mans union. There were many other
speakers. Every time Debs' name was
mentioned there was loud and long con-
tinued cheers.

i A Tired Democratic COngresgmen.

Ell KHART, IND, July 1S.-Ths Hon.
G. G. Conn, member Of congress for thO
Thirteenth district, has announced that
he would not be q candidate for re-
election, although he was few weeks
ago renominsted by the democratic CON-
vention.
Mr.. Conn declares that he Is not in
sympathy with the leaders Of his party
on questions affecting the labor inter-
ests, and it is supposed that it is his in
tention to JOIN the Populists. Two
years ago he was elected to congress by
q majority Of 1900, and democrats of the
district had counted on his reelection
by q safe plurality. Mr.. Conn has for
some time been out Of touch with Pres
ident Cleveland's policy, and the action
Of the latter in regard to the great rail-
road strike hastened bis break with his
party.

PinkertOng Led the Mob.

CHIcA GO, July 18. - Vice President
Howard OF the American Railway union,
said: "This is going to be q test case.
We don't consider ourselves bigger than
the law and, incidentally, We think the
railroads are not. We are getting some
evidence for the coming legal battle and
we consider it Of q pretty fair grade.
Here is q letter I have received telling
of evidence that most Of the freight car
burning here in Chicago was dons by
two men In the employ Of the General
MRnsgerS' association. One Of the Sc
cret sgsnts Of q certain committee saw
two men on the night Of the big fire
going through the yards with q handcsr
loaded with infsmmabIe waste which
they lighted and systematically threw
among the cars. This agent overheard
conversation between the men from
which he CLEANED that they were paid
5000 down and were to receive $500 more
when the job was done. This, under
stand, was before the troops were called
out, An effort is now being made to
arrest these two men. We further have
pretty positive evidence that the big
man who led the mob Of 5000 at Blue
Island, was a Pinkerton man employed
by the railroads and it is significant that
although he can be easily identified, yet
he has not been arrested. 1t is safe to
say that this case will not be entirely
one aided.n

In Defense Of Debs.

New YORK, July 22.-Now that the
bitter railroad strike is over the leaders
OF the local labor organizations are
taking up the matter of securing the
proper defense for Eugene V. Debs,
president Of the A. r. U. This activity
is in accor dance with an appeal issued
by President Gomperv, of the American
Federation Of Labor, which will be pub
lished in the August number Of the
American Federant, the official organ
Of the Federation. 1t reads Rs follows:
"Eugede V. Debs stands as one Of the
most conspicuo Gus and interesting figures
before the country. None doubt his
honesty and devotion to the cause Of the
wronged against the WrOngdoers. Yet
he is in Jail awaiting the action Of the
United States courts upon the charge OF
contempt Of it's injunctions. He is re-
quested to appear before four different
courts, located hundreds Of miles from
each other at one and the same time.
He is under indictment for conspiracy
for obeyiDg the instructions Of his or
gsnization and requesting the railroad
men to quit work to aid their struggling
fellow workmen. The corporations have
their claws ready to fasten upon the
body Of Debs, not simply to try and
crush him, but they hope to force the
men Of labor into silence and slavish
submission.
THAT purpose can not, dare not and
will not succeed. Debs must be de-
feTded, and ably defended. In person
The advocate., 1894-07-25

a this time he represents the rights Of
labor. Eugene v. Debs is q poor man;
he has no money; his trial and prepare
ton for it viii require q considerable
amount, and we know that the workers
OF the country have never yet been ap-
pealed to in vain to help the cause OF
justice, humanity and right. All unions
should contribute. We ask all lsboring-
men 10 open subscriptions for the 'Dsbs
legal defense fund By order of the ex-
scutive committee of the American

Let this policy be insugursted and We
will then see how long the railway COM
panles will be bound by they contracts,
as they have induced the public to be-
lieve, to haul Pullman cars.
"We propose to continue this fight
against the Pullman company through
good and evil report and without regard
to consequences until justice shall be
done. There will be no surrender. We
will use every available and lawful
means to press the contest. It is re-
quested that Rll papers throughout the
land favorable to labor, to justice, to
humanity, copy this statement in full
and keep it standing as long as pos
Rible."
In regard to the appeal, Mr.. Dsbs
said this evening: "Since the cessation
OF the hostilities we have received letters
from all parts OF the country from per-
sons who say that while they do not
sanction violence in the Pullman fight
they are with Us first and last. They
say they are very much dissatisfied with
Pullmans absolute refusal to entertain
any proposition looking toward settle
ment Of the difficulties.
ave are going to continue to appeal
to the American people not to ride in his
cars on account OF this sympathy, and
we will bring Mr.. Pullman to time.
They are now trying to open the shops
at Pullman, but the men will not return
to work. That has been decided by
them, and their places can not be filed.
We are constantly receiving kilograms
from all parts Of the country stating
that the men are still out and determined
to stay out until the strike is declared
of.
"In this city the sWitchmen, with the
exception Of very few, are out and as
solid ss they were the day the strike was
declared. While the companies say that
they are running their trains on time it
is nevertheless a fact that they are
badly crippled, especially with their
freight service. We are confident Of ulh-
mate success and our organization is
growing at the rate Of 600 members
day."

STATE BANKS OF KANSAS.

Bank Commissioner Breidenthal Says
Their Condition Shows Improvement.
TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 25.-Under the
call recently issued by Bank Commits
sioner Prudential for statement Of
the condition of Kansas banks up to
the close of business January 10 re-
ports have been received from about
200 state and private banks, which is
one-half the total number now in ex-
istence. The reports have not
been tabulated, but Commissioner
Prudential states that the gen:
eral condition of the institu-
tions will show an Improvement over
the statement made three months ago.
few of the banks that suspended
during the panic of last year have re-
sumed, but many Of the smaller insti-
buttons have retired permanently,
either at the hands of receiver or by
voluntary liquidation.
The list last year showed forty-two
suspensions, of which five have since
reorgani2ed and resumed. Many of
the suspended banks were in small
country towns, where no demand ex-
listed for such facilities.
