POWDERLY AGAINST SILVER
Will Not Support a Policy Sure to
Cause Panic.
Thinks Bryan Is Treading Upon
to Array Labor Against Capital.

Philadelphia, Sept. 10.-'I am not In
favor OF panics, and that is one reason why
l am not in favo. OF the free coinage nf
silver by the United States.'' said T. v.
PowderIy, ex- general master workman OF
the Knights OF LaDoE, In al interview yes
terday.
Mr.. Bryan said Mr. Powderiy, ''ad-
m,ts that the free coinage OF silver by the
Ucited states alone woIId result in a panic
IN this country. After the panic. he says.
values will be adjusted, and we will have
an era of prosperity. l do not believe IN
policy thai is to bring prosperity through
panic. There is too much risk about such
proposition.
.-Men are often mistaken in their juGg-
ment, and as Mr. Bryan admits that free
coinage will te followed by a panic, we
nave no assurance that his prediction OF
prosperity after the panic will ever te
realize I prefer not to take any such
chance as that feel quite sure that
panic is not going to tenefit the people
If the United States, and 1 am equally
confident that the ma jority Of the people
do not wish to obtain prosperity in the
manner which Mr. Bryan proposes
what do you think OF Mr.. Bryan's
speeches to the workiBgmen?"
u think it is a great mistake for any
man To attempt 10 enbitter labor against
capital. While l was at the head of the
Kn gh;s OF Labor alwa Us endeavored toes
tablish friendly relations tetween employe
and employer, for recognize that there is
always sufficient friction to keep them
antIgonistic without leaders preaching
against capital 1t is my opinion that the
leaders OF the silver movement are tread
ing on dangerous ground
do you propose to take an active part
in the campagn?''.
Yes; 1 expect to make a number OF
speeches in different parts of the couu-
try aginst free silver. l am convinced that
the success of the Chicago ticket and plat
form would be one of the severest blows
the labor of this country has ever received
1t would be followed by more distress and
suffering than has attended all of the
strikes that have ever occurred in the coIn-
try

MORE PoLIcEMEN WANTED.

When Congress at the last session
granted only a small part OF the in
creased police force asked for by Ma ior
Moore the foundation was laid for the re-
newal of his demands by the chief OF
police He wanted 125 more men and
got only fifty. 1t is but natural, therefore.
that at the coming session he will en-
deavor to secure what he then failed 10
obtain. II he is wise, he Will ask for
twice the number of men be wants, be-
cause the scaling mania is strong in Con
gress, and he may thus be able to recruit
his force to nearly the strength it should
have. There have been instances in plenty
to prove that the city is not adequately
patrolled, and in the suburbs the protec
ton the police can afford to persons and
property amounts To very little. Highway
men ply their nefarious trade with Sin
gular boldness, the best proof that they
know that policemen are few and far he
tween. Housebreakers and pickpockets
display unusual activity, and their identity
is disclosed in but few cases.
The reasons why the police force should
be Increased have been set forth so often
that it would seem supcrfluous to reiterate
them at length. Those most urgent are,
first, that the people of the District demand
fuller protection to their persons and prop
erty; the other, that the men have too long
hours of duty. and fail to get the necessary
quantity of rest and recreation. There has
been a slight change for the better since the
appointment of the fifty nien authorized
by Congress, but twice that number is still
needed II Congress should grant only
fifty more it would have to be iniportuned
again at the next session, and meanwhile
the service could rot be raised TO the de-
gree of efficiency that is so highly desira-
BILE. Given sufficient number of men
now with which 10 patrol the city both day
and night as it should I've patrolied, It
would be possible TO give an object lesson
TO which pointed reference might be made
in the future, when further expansion OF the
city renders a further increase of the force
necessary.
washington's police should at least bear
approximate proportion to the population
of the District Such is the case in other
cities. The police force should grow with
the growth OF the city. This is Just as es.
sentiaI as sufficient protection from fire
and a sufficient supply OF water, in 10th
of which respects. by the way. good deal
is yet to be desired.

BLACK EYE FOR TILLMANISM.

The result Of the election in South Caro-
lima may not fnreshadow the immediate
suppression of Tillman and his cohorts,
but it gives fair indication that the
methods he has introduced in Palmetto
state politics are no longer reiished by
a majority OF the people down there. 1t
is not Impossible also that his inccnGiary
harancles at Chicago and elsewhere have
aroused a feeling of shame and disgust
among South Carolinians, and the run
ming OF an anti-Tillmanite for governor
and his election by a respectable major
ity may be regarded as notice served
that a further reckoning is 20 follow. II
is contended by some of TiIiman's ad-
herents that the defeat Of Evans should
not be looked upon as u rehuke to the
Senator, beca use the other Till mantle
nominees all went through safely. The
answer to this argument is that EoiitiCa!
changes are, as rule. gradual, and that
the turning down OF the leading figure
on the Iillman ticket is quite satisfactory
enough for one day. The hope is war
ranted It least that the time is not far
distant when TnlmaP and all that he
stands for in South Carolina politics will
he relegated to the limbo OF past and for
gotten things.
Tillman's aScendaucy was one of the
curiositieS of American politics, and per
haps could not have occurred in any State
save South Carolina. II was in the ma
ture OF protest on he part Of tie aGricul-
tural communities against the domination
of Charleston in the State government.
That such was the case is abundantly evil
denced by laws enacted by a legislature
of Tillman's most Subseryient followers,
which were distinctly hostile to the most
important city in the state, aud to a mum
Der OF its most important and cherished in-
stitutions Wherever it was possible to
lower the influence of Charleston ii was
done That Tnlman should have been
the director of such n revolution and again
its beneficiary is not at all strange, for
he was the strongest element IN it.
Tie appearance OF this man in the arena
of national politics was locked forward 10
with some degree of curious expectancy.
His performances there have been OF so re-
pellant a character, however, that even
those who have hitherto followed him IN
hesitatipEly have become startled. and not
a few OF them have retraccd their steps to
safer ground. The decadence of Tillrpan
as a factor in the politics of his State
may not be rapid was his rise, but
it will be far more certain.

BAD FOR wAGE-woRKERs.

Just now the general travelling pubic
is delighted over the cheap rates grow
ing out OF the war of the Southern Rail-
way, Seaboard Air Line and Atlantic Coast
Line. Everybody having a desire to go
South, either on business Or pleasure, i'm
proves the opportunity, and for a while
the Southern hotels Will do rushing trade.
Other branches of commerce may also be
favorably affected for while, but the re-
action is as certain to come as effect fol-
lows cause AS pointed out by one of the
officials OF the Atlantic Coast Line. all
the roads engaging in such a struggle are
bound to be more or less crippled finan-
cially, and when this cruel war is over
the reckoning must come. The losses in
Cured must be made up in some way.
The restoration of normal freight aud
passenger rates will not do il, for these
are merely equal TO meet the current ex-
penses and regular charges. There has
to be retrenchment. aud the first ones to
feel the pruning knife are the employees,
the engineers, conductors, fircmen. brake
men. switchnlen aud others.
These men and their families are the
real sufferers from rate wars. The rail-
roads themselves will recuperate sooner or
later from their temporary exhaustion and
stockholders will get their dividends and
bontlho!ders their interest, but there can
be no compensation Tor the deprivations Ind
sufferings which they must experience
whose only resources are the wages received
from the companies. When the. season Of
retrenchment comes there will be reduc
ton OF force and of wages, and this will
fall with more OF less serious results upon
hundreds anG thousands OF humble homes.
When the wage-earner su ffers he affects the
community in which he resides. especially
the business portion Of 1t, for it is his
earnings that keep the wheels of commerce
creased and running.
These facts tend to show that the present
rate war on Southern rail way lines will not
prove an unmixed blessing for Southern
cities.

A. r. U. CRIES CONFUSION.
Says Railway Employees Are Forced to
Become Republicans.

Terre HauTc. Ind. Sept. l0.-The directors
OF the American Railway Union last night
issued AN address to all members OF the
American Railway Union and TO all railway
employees in the United States, deuouncing
the coercion of railway employees to Join
Mckinley sound money clubs and calling on
all wage-earners 10 vote for Bryan. The
address is signed by Eugene V. Debs, james
Hogan. Sylvester Keliher. William E. Burns,
R. NJ. Goodwin and NJ. J. Elliott.
The address sd Us the coercion practiced
is OF monstrous Importance, describes the
methods practlced as astounding says
the round houses, depots and shops have
temporarily been converted into political
wigwams and that employees are iDtimidatcd
20 Join these gold standard clubs by the
railway managers.
I'VE know of many instances" contin-
ues the address, where employees are
plainly given to understand hat their con-
tinuance in service depends upon their
supporting the gold standard candidates.
The country stands amazed at such bold
and shameless intimidation
The address declares that It is not free
silver alone that has cnraged the railroad
Moloch, but the attack in the Democratic
platform on government by Injunction.
This it says. is the inilkin the cocoanut.
The injunction history of the Toledo, Ann
Arbor and North Michigan road, and the
jenkins injunction restraining employees
from quitting the service of the Northern
Pacific because of reduction of wages
under a penalty of being committed to
Jail are reviewed.
The election OF Mckinley, the circular
says, would mean the perpetuation OF
government by injunction, the supremacy
OF the corporation, and the helpless sub1ec-
ton OF employees.
In conclusion the address says: We
pledge our united and unwavering support
to William j. Bryan a nd appeal TO all rail-
way employees and aIl workingmen to join
with US in rebuking corporate tyranny"
Judge Caidweil's designation OF Bryan's
nomination as the greatest since Lincoln
was heartily concurred in.

I'll THE LOUNGER

< VERY night for the past week .
L. crowd OF small boys near the cor.
ner of Seventh aud E streets north
west, have created barrels OF fun with
dead rat, a string and the pedestrians who
pass at that point. The passerby. on cross
ing the street, suddenly sees u large rat
apparently come out of the sewer ana
crawl slowly down street. The victim
is SO busily engaged in watching the little
animal that he fails to observe crowd OF
boys. and becomes aware OF the hoax only
when shout OF laughter arouses him.
.It Is a good index of character" said
q member OF the finest who stood by to
watch the fun, Ito see how various men
take the joke. Some of them lose their
tempers, and stand there at the corner
cursng and abusing the perpetrators; ;others
become abashed and confused at the exhiDf-
tion they have made of themselves, while
still others laugh good-naturedly and JON
the loungers who fill all the dark corners
of the Ieighborhood, awaiting the uext
VICTIM
The way the boys work the trick is to
secure a dead rat and tie long string to It,
Then they place the creature in the mouth
of the sewer, and stretching the string
along the gutter of E street, station them
selves with the end of the string in an
alley half way down the block. When any
Que approaches the gutter, the string is
slowly pulled in, and the startled pedes-
trian sees right 10 front of him one of the
gray pests OF the household. Many yalu-
able umbrella has been broken in vain
effort to dispatch the already dead rat, to
the uBbOupted delight OF the mischievon'
urchins.

an alarm bell and the sight Of the Energ-
ency ambulance dashing along the de-

electric lights the groups of night owls
craned their necks to catch a glimpse
OF the unfortunate victim who might be
within. Nothing was seen. however but
two white robed figures sitting on either
side Of the wagon. Those who witnessed
the strange sight were considerably nys-
terrified. but an explanation was soon
forthcoming,
II seems that two OF the fair attendants
of the sick who are attached to the hos
pital had resolved that before Severing their
connection with the institution they would
ride in the ambulance. Henry, the driver
was taken into their confidence and prom
jsed to help them. The night in question
the adventurous young ladies climbed into
the ambulance, and off the party started.
The plan was 10 drive slo owly. but the old
gray horse, who for years has done eff
cieDt service for the hospital. knew no such
word as slow. Under the impression that
another unfortunate claimed his best ef-
forts, he strove so hard to gallop that,
sooner than cut his mouth with the Tit, the
driver gave him the rein. Thus 1t was that
