come into the city daily and
upon some days the number
reaches into the the thousands.
Many of them are Intoxicated
when they reach the city. A short
time ago special train bearing
delegation home to homestead
had to be stopped TO take on
policemen to quell the riot by the
drunken crowd in the cara.
Last saturday was another
"big day" here, and the scenes of
debauchery on the public streets
beggar description. One of the
Pittshurg crowd fell off the cars
going home and was killed. The
delegation from Etna. Pa, came
with pockets well filled with
bottles of whisky of new brand
A Voice reporter picked up the
empty bottle after three OF the
crowd had emptied it into their
throats at the depot. The flask
bore large picture of Mckinley
with the inscription, "our choice

home, or a bond on your school

their" money in such bonds, for
the same reason the slave owner
put "his' money in a slave-to
make a profit out of them? Now
don't your labor pay the interest
on these bonds? And did you
ever get any benefit from these
bonds? In every essence of bond
age, slavery, the white people OF
the land are held in bond, are
not free and while they work and
produce an ever-increasing
amount Of wealth, the bonds in
crease fastenough to absorb all
that wealth, leaving them just as
much in most cases as the negro
slaves got-a hut, some rags and
coarse food--and no more. Every
dollars worth of wealth it takes
to pay the interest, receive or paid
in the United States Gas well as
elsewhere) is that much of labor
taken from the workers without
any more equivalent than the
planter gave his slaves for the
cotton he sold and applied the
proceeds thereof to his own use.
You working people, you are in
bondage, the bonds are issued by
public officials, they are as real
as the products of your labor

Business Throughout the Country Con-
tinues Quiet.
New YORK, May 49,. Bradstreets
says: General trade throughout the
country remains quiet, wholesale mer-
chants continue conservative and the
distribution Of general merchandise is
almost of a hand to mouth character,
South and Southwest business remains
dull and featureless and unchanged
from last week. At larger Eastern GEN.
ters Travellers report they are preparing
to start out, but unfavorable features in
recent weeks with respect to cotton
and wooden and steel and iron indus
tries show no change. Collections in
most directions cOntinue unsatisfactory.
Unreasonable weather has had an un-
favorable influence on sales of clothing
and other staples, while labor disturb
in some Western cities have
checked demand. Request for lumber
is smaller than anticipated and dry
weather at the South has emphc~ized
the dizziness of last week.

The A. r. A. Removes the Ban-Informa-
ton Was Erroneous.
WASHINGTON, May 1S.-The morning
session of the American Protective assO-
cations supreme council was the most
interesting of the convention, because
the action of the executive committee of
the advisory board in blacklisting Mr..
Mckinley as a presidential candidate
was to be reviewed. The report of the
advisory board upon the action of its
committee, was made to the council late
in the evening. 1t was technically an
endorsement of the executive committee.
1t asserted in substance that the execu-
, tive committee was warranted in view
Of the evidence presented TO it, in plac-
ing a ban upon Mr.. Mckinley. But in
addition, it states that q Iurther exam-
nation of this testimony by the full
board has convinced the members that
the witnesses Were unreliable, ard that
Their Statements Were Incorrect.
Therefore. the board concluded, Mr..
Mckinley should be placed upon the
same footing SO far as members of the
A. P. A. are concerned, with the other
candidates for presidential nominations,
and should rotbe Disseminated against.
Appended to the report was a state
ment in writing by Delegate Huddleson
of California, who asserts that a COM
mittee of which he was chairman, in
terviewed Mr.. Mckinley at his home in
Canton, o., on the l4th inst, and that
the interview was satisfactory.
The other members of the committee
are stated to have been Delegate Van
Fossen of Washington and c. E. Zept,
| state chairman of Kentucky.
