The Green Forest tribune., 1896-07-30

Ii there is any one thing,in which
IHE TRIBUNE can take all kinds Of
pleasure in doing it is to announee
mao for an office who is fully
competent for the place and in
every way worthy Of the position.
We are, therefore, highly delight
ed this week to send forth the
announcement OF E. B. Binchman
OF Berryville for the Office of
County Treasurer. We believe it
has truthfuIly been said of him, in
point Of ability, that he is the peer
OF any business man in Carroll
county, while there is not a more
honorable. upright and obliging
gentleman to be found anywhere.
We consider him an ideal man
Tor this Office, and there is no
question but that he stands a good
show for election His many
friends throughout tho county are
going to support him regardless of
politics. This is the correct idea.
Politics does not fit or unfit man
tor county Office. Honesty,
ability and merit should oe the
sole test.
The editor sat in his office cold,
whence all but him had fed, but
he wished that every last dead
beat was in in his grave stone dead.
His mind then wandered tar away to
the time when be should die, and
his loyal editorial soul go scoot-
ing to the sky; when he'd roamed
the fields Of paradise and sailed
over Jasper seas, and all things
glorious would combine, his every
sense to please. He thought how
he'd look across the great gulf
dark and drear, that yawned be-
tween his happy soul and those
who swlndled here; and then for
water they should call and in agony
they'd caper, he'd shout to them;
Gust moisted your te ngue with the
due that's on your paper"

AT the beginning of the present session
u new rule was added to the list. BY its
terms the clerks of Representatives. and
senators are not entitled to admission
TO the galleries. This regulation was
Nlaoe necessary by the fact that within

danger of the next few years showing the
presence of 35G clerks 10 members doing
alleged newspaper work and holding rank
with the legitimate corps of Washington

STRIKE Is on AGAIN.
Many of the Conservatives Likely to
Stay at Work, However.

Philadelphia special: The street car
strike is On again. At lao o'clock Friday
morning the motormen and conductors
employed by the Union Traction Com :
pany decided not to so 10 work when :he
first day ears started at 4 o'clock. The
oN;ciai declaration was made at a mass
M,ctin OF the men in the labor lyceum.
Ii Dame amid the greatest confusion and
against the strong protests OF the con-
servatlve element. In fact the excitement
Was so intense that numerous small riots
between the two elements were averted
with the greatest difficulty. Pandemon-
Jun reigned at times and many of the
conservatives left in disgust.
An unsatisfactory conference with
General Manager Beetem had been held
earlier III the night and trouble began
when this committee made its report to
the mass meeting. Previous to their ar
rival the turbulent scenes OF the day had
been increasing in intensity. The ques-
ton OF strike or no strike" was about t.
be put 10 the men when Dr.. GritfithS OF
the Christian League made a speech urg-
ing them to be patient and suggested fur
tier effort Tor peace. lie was greeted
with jeerS, and fuel was added 10 III
flame when a man named kirshner, oi
the Cigarmakers' union, made a fiery
speech, urging the men TO strike.
President Mahon, who has all along
been opposed 10 a strike. tried to shut of
kirShner, and almost incurred personal
violence from the men who wanted 10
hear k.rshner. The confusion was kept
up until Chairman Lutz put the question
10 a vote. \ decided affirmative was the
response. There were many negatives,
however. increasing from time 10 time,
but the strikers were in the majority.
The meeting broke up in the greatest dis
order. Throughout il was manifest that
many Il the men who went out on the
last strike will report for duty as usual.
The temper Of the strikers is such tina,
should tn conservatives do this trouble is
almost sure TO result.

Havana special: The authorities con-
fesS the grave condition OF affairs by pro-
claiming martial law for the provinces or
Havana and P.nar del Rio. Maxine CO.
mez as declared his purpose to penetrate
into the province OF Pinar del Rio. AL
though his forces have not reached me
borders OF that province, the action OF the
authorities is understood to indicate that
they have no hopes of preventing hitn
from carrying out his threat.
1t is not only the organized armed force
Of the advancing insurgents that they
find themselves compelled TO prepare
agalnst-.n fact, there is little a%pprehen-
sion that this force could effect much sue
cess IN an assault upon the city, great as
is the damage they have wrought in the
country-but the irresistible progress oi'
the msurgent army has served immensely
TO increase the boldneSs OF their sympa-
thizers, who nave hitherto remained pas
sive n.combatantS. Ii these were to
see the occasion for a successful strike
there is no doubt that accesSionS To
the insurgent forces would be gained.
The unrivaled skill and generalSblp
shown by Gen. Gomez and his lleuten-
ants in avoiding the traps set for them
and in carrying the Cuban army past the
most elaborate planned barriers OF the
Spanish has served greatly to discourage
the leaders on that side. The battallons
which were placed near Palos TO check
the advance into Havana seem 10 have
been completely eluded, and the efforts TO
save the rich sugar country about Guina
seems 10 have been equally futile.
Reports have been received here that
the insurgent forces moving westward
from the southern portion of the province
of Havana have now passed MeleAa,
about fifty kilos from Havana. The
northern insurgent army has been re-
ported at Aguacate, about seventy kilos
from this city. AS already cabled, II IS
believed that the southern army OF the i'll
surgents intend TO make an attempt to
effect a junction with the division in the
province of Pinar del Rio to the westward
OF Havana.

The commercial failures during tie
