THE GOLD BARONS AND
MOST.

Herr Most, the notorious New
York anarchist, has pronounced
against Bryan and free silver and
has come out for Mckinley and
the gold standard. The Mckinley
and gold papers are loud in thior
pr aise of Most and welcome him
as "a great rcquisition" to the
gold party. Had Most endorsed
Bryan. OF course language could
not be found strong enough by
these McKinley-gold papers in
which to denounce Bryan and
his new ally. But. Most being
nov full fedged Republican
and gold man, is held up as all
Al fellow. SHOW me your COM
pany and I'll tell you what you
are. The gold barons and Most
are worthy OF each other.-Belle

The following is the full text
of the letter of Hon. NJ. S. Hayes,
secretary of the Central Labor
Union of Cleveland, o., in which
he reported to the secretary of
the New York body in response
to a request that he would in
form the latter organization how
Hanna stood toward organized
labor:
"Cleveland, O., August 20, 1896.
"Dear Sir and Brother-In re
ply to yours of the Oath inst, iii
which you desire to learn the
attitude of M. H. Hanna re-
lat!ng to labor unions, l will say
that previous to the Republican
convention at ST. Louis the G. l..
U. of this city propounded a
number of questions to the Re-
publican workingmen of this
country to ask of NJ. FL. Hanna.
In that manifesto it was charged
that Hanna had wrecked the
Seaman's Union of the lower
lake regions; that he had en-
ployes and refused to allow them
to organize now; that he had
assisted in destroying the iron
workers unions of Pennsylvania
that he had attempted to break
up the carpenters unions of this
city by employing scabs on a
new mansion at a critical time
this spring when the eight-hour
day was being put into effect
| that he had a strike of laborers
in the shipyard in which he is
interested this spring, and told a
committee OF the men, who de-
manded the same scale Of wages
paid in a competing yard, viz.
$1.35 a day, that if they voted
for Mckinley they migt receive
higher wages, and lodged the
issue.
"Neither Mr., Hanna nor any
of his satellites has dared to meet
these questions, and they are
unanswered today. Here in
Cleveland he is so we'll known
as a labor crusher that not a
solitary member Of a labor organ.
ization, or, in fact, any other
citizen, will attempt to defend
the mans malodorous record.
will add that several weeks ago
Mr.. Hanna attempted, through
a third party, to have the presi-
dent of the G. L. U. or myself
wait upon him to have a talk,
but his overtures were treated
with the scorn that they de.
served. If Hanna has anything
to say he can come before the G.
L. U. and say it, He has been
challenged to do so. Yours fra

The Mckinley tariff went into
effect in October, 1890, and went
out of force IN September, 1894.
Therefore, as appears from the
above table, wool imports rose
so per cent under the Mckinley
tariff, and fell 70 per cent under
the presant tariff.
The treasury report should
make Sheep Candidate McKin-
ley feel sheepish.

GRAND MASTER WORKMAN
SPEAKS

The Press publishes today an
open letter from Grand Master
Workman J. r. Sovereign, Of the
Knights ofLabor, manager Of the
Bryan free silver campaign labor
bureau, to the workingmen Of
America. 1t is an instructive
and inspiring review Of the mon
etary and allied issues of the
campaign which every working
man should carefully read. In
times like the present. when work
men are coerced and inundated
by their selfish employers, the
labor voter needs good advice
from a reliable source. Grand
Master Sovereign has proved
himself the friend and champion
of labor's cause in many con-
test on the industrial field of bat
tie.
Mr. Sovereign writes the Penny
Press a personal letter from
which we take pleasure to quote
Editor Penny Press:
My correspondence with the
working people has reached great
proportions, and the letters re-
ceiyed indicate that this struggle
has already gone far beyond the
questions Of monetary reform.
lhe coerciye methods adopted
by the money power and the cor
porations have involved the
whole country in struggle for
constitutional rights. The at
tempt is being made to subvert
principles Of Republican govern
ment and intimidate the work
ing people to support Mckinley
and the, single gold standard a.
gainst their will. Those holding
positions dare not speak their
sentiments for fear of discharge,
and those out of employment
dare not express their convic-
tons for fear that no one will
hire them. A great strain on
the labor forces will be made
during the last five days Of the
campaign, when bull-dozing
methods by the emissaries OF
Mark Hanna will be applied to
force a verdict contrary to the
will of the voters.
Pledging to you my best en-
beavers in this struggle for right
and justice | am,
Respectfully yours,
J.R. SOVEREIGN.

M'KINLEY'S SHEEP ARGU
MENT.

Candidate Mckinley is making
much of the tariff on wool. He
tells the free ride pilgrims to
Canton that he is the savior of
the American sheep by reason of
his tariff against the pauper wool
of Europe.
But the treasury bulletin on
wool imports knocks Major Nc
Kinley's sheep argument silly.

A CUBAN BOY SOLDIER.

THE YOUNGEST OFFICER OF THE
INSURGENT ARMY ENTERS
THE WEST CHESTER NORMAL
SCHOOL.
WEST CHESTER, Dec 2.-There
was a rather distinguished arrival al
the West Chester State Normal School
yesterday in the person Of Crescencio
d'Varona, a refugee from Cuba, and
the youngest officer in the insurgent
army. Crescencio is an unusually
bright boy, 10 years of age, and is
native of Puerto Principe, Cuba. He
was sent here by President Palma, OF
the Cuban Junta in New York, to re-
ceive an education, and was given
quarters in the school with Juan
Gomez, the son of q Havana editor
who was condemned to death, but sub
sequently exiled to the Spanish fort
ress prison off the coast Of Africa.
Young Varona, through an inter-
prefer. related an entertaining story
concerning himself and affairs In
Cuba. His father is a school teacher
In Puerto Principe, and fifteen months
ago Crescencio ran away from home
and ioined the Cuban army under
der age the president endeavOred to
send him home, but Crescencio was de-
termined to stay. He was thereupon
equipped with rife, machete and re-
voler. and subsequently figured in
numerous engagements with the Span
iards.
In speaking of the engagement Of
Sagua d'Tanamo the boy soldier
proudly exhibited a huge scar on his
right hand and with the aid Of his in
terpreter told of how he was wounded
in February last. AS the Cubans were
showering lead upon the army OF
Spaniards little Varona unfurled his
tiny flag of the free" while standing
alongside a huge cannon, and waving
the colors in the air shouted: Cuba
librel" A ball from a Spanish rife
pierced the palm OF his hand and he
was taken to the rear. He was imme-
diately detached from his company and
sent to the headquarters of President
Cisneros, who promoted him to the
rank of sergeant for his bravery.
Crescencio was at Iona de ell Cato
when General Jose Maceo was shot in
the forehead and instantly killed.
He states that in every engagement
which he witnessed or in which he
participated the Cubans killed and
wounded 35 per cent. more men than
did the Spaniards and is confident that
his native country will eventually sue
ceed in shaking off the shackles OF
Spanish tyranny. He proudly wears a
Mckinley button upon the lapel of his
coat upon either side of which are the
cclors Of the United States and free
| Cuba.

ADJUSTMENTS.
A GREAT PLAY.

The following Is one of the press
criticisms on "Shore Acres" which
will be at the Grand Opera House on
Wednesday, December 8: There are
not more than half a dozen American
made dramatic productions worthy of
living a month in the glare of the
fo0tlights. The larger percentage of the
so-called plays are nothing more than
a lot of ridiculous characters thrown
into a number OF impossible. but
highly dramatic situations. The al
legged plots are incongruOus. inconsis-
tent and thoroughly inharmonious.
The language which the iledgling play
wrights place in the mouths of their
mimic people is as far from reality as
the unthinking and consequently ap-
plauding audiences are from discrimi-
nation "Shore Acres" the really
beautiful pastoral which James A.
Herne has given the theatre-loving
world, is one of the plays that is en-
titled to a niche in the American The
atre Francaise-the remembrance OF
the people. The very large audience
which witnessed the production of
shore Acres" last evening was pleased
from the time the curtain rose and the
plot of the play commenced TO unroll
This interest grew until half the peo-
pie in the auditorium were laughing
or half weeping with those who sc
capably assumed the various charac.

BAY STATE GAS COMPANY.

THE BONDHOLDERS OF THE DEL
AWARE COMPANY INACCURATE
A MOVEMENT FOR THEIR IN
TERESTs.
1t is said upon excellent authority
that the move recently inaugurated by
the income bondholders of the Bay
State Gas Company. of Delaware, for
the protection of their interests has
resulted in an agreement for reorgan-
izatiOn of the company. The plan has
not, as yet been completed. but its
general provisions are such as to make
satisfactory provision for the bond
holders and to put an end to the ex-
listing litigation.
The proposed plan will be submitted
TO the United States Court in this city
on December g, and It will, it is un-
derstood, provide for the of.
fering for the choice of 80
per cent. cash, or a preferred 3k per
cent guaranteed stock Whether the
bondholders will accept this as a guar
antee for their income as provided in
the plan remains to be seen.
If the bondholders of the company
accept the proposed plan, the several
suits against the company will be
probably dropped,
II will be shown that over 81 500. .0OC
of the $4,000 600 incomes and over
three-fourths of all the stock is now
owned by the reorganizers, who will
announce to the court the new board
of management. which will include
such names as c. p Huntington, John
