for the highest measure of reward, is en-
titled to sympathy and support in all it's
proper efforts to that end.
1--WE believe that organized labor is not
responsible for the disturbances of the
peace so often attendant upon such move
ments; nevertheless we regard the main
tenance of public orden and peace, the
suppression of riot and the protection of
property and life as one of the first and
most important functions of government.
when unlawful assaults are made
against federal laws, it is the right and
duty of the federal Government to protect
itself and enforce it's laws without de.
pendance upon the consent OF any State.
To establish these principles the war
against the rebellion was fought and won
mt too great sacrifice to permit to be
questioned now.
IF disregarding our protest and the
rights of the Democracy of PENNSYLVANIA
this convention insists upon engrafting
these undemocratic doctrines in YOUR
platform we reluctantly, but unalterably
declare that we cannot follow it on this
dishonoring and disastrous venture
The protest is signed by f Wright and
nineteen others constituting a commit
tee.

CYLONE IN PARIS.
Much Damage Done to Property and
Life in the French Capital.

Paris, Sept. 10.-A violent cyclone
swept over portions of this city at $3.50 D.
m. to-day. Omnibuses, cabs and stalls
in the streets were overturned, trees were
blown down, store windows were broken,
barges were sunk in the river Seine, and
the firemen had to be called out. MANY
persons were injured OH the Rue Turbigo,
Place de la Republque, the Place ST. Sui
phice and the Boulevard ST. Martin. The
greatest damage was done at the Palais
de Justice. All the windows on the Rue
dc Harlay side were smashed, part of the
roof was blown away and the corridors
were filled with clouds of dust and
branches of trees. The sittings of the
court had to be suspended The court
yard at st. Chapelle was filled with every
sort of debris
Parls is much stirred up and excited
over the cyclone, which develops into
disaster of considerable proportions. The
numbers of minor casualties and iniu-
rles to persons are numerous and other
reports are constantly being received.
over 5OO injured have thus far been re-
ported 70 one fire house alone and five

Immediately succeeded by torrents of
rain and cellars all over Paris are flooded.
The cyclone only lasted about one
minute. From the Quai ST. Michael to

The crews of the barges, however, sue

One of the laundry boats of the Seine
where thirty laundresses were at work
was sunk and the women were saved with

HARDLY WARRANTED.
The Bank of England Raises the Discount
Rate.


London, Sept. 10-The Bank of Eng
land has increased its rate of discount
half per cent. to 2 1-2. This is the first
time the rate has been changed in two
years and was brought about by the
heavy Withdrawals of gold during the
past three weeks.
The Pail Mall Gazette says:
UNLESS the bank has information
which is not generally known, the posi-.
ton seems to scarcely warrant q rise in
the bank rate. However moderate the
advance, the act of warning at the pres
ent low value of money cannot last for
ever and it is probably better to have the
official rate raised by easy stages as a
precautionary measure than to postpone
it until a bigger advance is necessary,
when panic might easily have resulted.
1t is possible that the directors may fore
see the necessity of advancing the bank
rate to three per cent"
The Westminster Gazette says that the
advance of the bank rate was purely n
precautionary measure, evident from the
bank return showing the reserve to be
about the same as on the corresponding
date of 1895. The Westminster Gazette
adds:
cit is generally recognized in the mar
ket that the action of the directors was
wise and hopes are entertained that it
will check somewhat the export of gold
The advance had an averse effect on the
stock exchange, but it is not likely to be
permanent unless the Withdrawals of gold
continue to such an extent MS to force n
more appreciable advance of the bank
rate
