BALLED.

Cleveland. Feb. 2S.-The Cleveland
Cham Der Of Commerce tonight black
balled the name OF Andrew Carnegie,
which had been proposed for honorary
membership. Before the vote was
taken l.. A. Russell, an attorney,
made a speech, saying that from what
he had read OF the Homestead strike he
believed Mr.. Carnegie was an oIpres-
sor of the poor. Unless mebody
could convince him to the contrary he
would vote against admitting Mr.
Carnegie to membership. Five black
balls were voted, the constitutional
number required to debar an appli-
can't.

In an issue some time back, one Of your
subscribers found fault with returns re-
ceived on some sheep pelts. He got 35c
each for them, and he thought he should
have had more K seems he did not take
into consideration wool was on the free
list and that both wool and sheep pelts
are only bringing one-half what they did
before the tariff was taken off. Now
there is nothing that gives us more pleas
ure than to give good prices. but all we
can do is to give full market value, and
this we do on every shipment, large or
small. and we are glad to know that as
rule we give good satisfaction. In
proof Of this we enclose you some letters
from some of your readers. We trust you
will do us justice by publishing them.

THOMAS CARLYSLES VIE Tvs.

The great Scotchman was a pro-
found thinker, and beneath his rough
exterior he concealed a kind and gen.
erous heart. Hear what he said of
the condition of England fifty years
ago:
IA state of matters had arisen in
which a Uniformed man is not only
worth nothing to the world, but the
world could afford him round sum
would he sim ply engage to go and
hang himself"
1t was the horsepower of England
that brought the Englishman, who
conquered Napoleon, to that condi-
tion. The daily catalogue of suicides
In this country shows that it is
achieving the same results here. A
writer in the Glasgow Labor Lead
en-" adds:
''One cannot be surprised at such a
result, remembering as he does that
the governors of this diStressful coun-
try, instead Of trying to mitigate its
misery, are busy catching pOachers
and preserving game. He was getting
sick of the p8ans on progress chanted
by the Liberals. They quoted Stats
tics to prove that the average dura-
tion of life had increased, and that
there was more money in the savings
| banks, but he (Carlysle) remained in
credulous about the prosperity Of the
people. He denied the value of
statistics in such matters, and re-
minded them that well-being was not
to be measured by wages. especially
when they ignored the irregularity of
employment. "a man willing to wo TX
and unable to find work is perhaps
the saddest sight that Fortunes in
equality exhibits under this SUM-"
We have reached time when the
same sad sight can be seen all over
this broad land. They have just been
holding a great cOnven tion at Fon du
Lac, Wis, to abolish the ''tramps,'
which swarm throughout that country
| by the thousands.

PATRONIZE REFORM PAPERS.

large club and passed resolutions to

waters. Referring to this fact and the
seventy six representative members who
profess to be bi-metallists, well-known
Republican member said:
II am disguised with the way our men
are falling down. The truth is they all
have pledges, and in case their constitu-
ents, do not select them they are to be
provided for under the new administra-
ton for their votes on the bond BILL
IT'S now an open secret that the New
York Capitalists Association is practi-
caIy giving guarantees on Governor
Morton's election to the Presidency.
In the senate Senators Teller and Till
man represent still more advanced
stage of development. They have long
since burst asunder their respective
party shells, but fearing to try their
wings still sport among the broken frag-
ments. Doubtless. however, a few more
storms in Republican ranks like the one
which broke during the recent discussion
of the tariff bill will prove a powerful
stimulus to the former.
Thomas Carter, the chairman of the
National Republican Central Committee
struck one more telling blow for true
Americanism, when in that debate he
declared the Republican party must come
to the west or never put another law on
the statute books.
Still another marked development
from Populistic influence in national
affairs, is the spirit of inquiry and in
vestigation awakened, thrusting a
mighty interrogation point before each
proposed measure and ventilating the
past bad smelling ones until "junketing
funeral wakes" "Oficial benefits, .
manipulations in the sugar and whiskey
trusts, the tricks of the tariff trade, -
and numerous other schemes" have
been modified and prominent senators in
both old parties in the recent debates
with Senator Allen, the admitted princi-
pies of Populism involved in the discus
sion, and both old parties have been
forced to adopt some other than tariff
issue" which heretofore has so success
fully filed their pockets and fooled the
people.
The criticism has been raised chat our
leaders have no policy-teardown but do
not build. find that Populist bills have
been introduced on every measure ad-
vocated in the Omaha platform while a
definite policy has concentrated as far as
members would permit. But this and
more definite outlines will be discussed
in following issues.
