ARMENIAN HORRORS.
Expression " opinion BY the British
Government.

London. sept 1.-THE foreign ofHct
has given out the following semi-otR.
oia note;
The outburst OF the continental
press against Great Britain. which is
accused of selfish designs in the East
has astonishcd official circles. Moth
ing that is being done or contemplated
by the government could give the
slightest color 10 such assertions,
THE government cannot hold itself
responsible Tor the natural horror in
evltahly inspired in the minds Of the
public by the atrocities at CONSTANT
nople The policy Of Great Britain
has however. undergone no change
whatever. and the government is act
ing In complete accord with the other
powers as it has hitherto done New
ertheless It is becoming obvious that
public feeling In Great Britain has
been So outraged by the shocking
events in Constantinople that the gov
ernmCut would never be supported in
again siding with the porte.
III the powers cannot see their way
to adopt means TO cooperate to end
the carnage, the one course open to
Great Britain is to stand aside and to
hope for more satisfactory state Of
affairs"

! Special to the Astorian.
Buffalo. n. T.. Sept 1.-THE Demo-
cratic state convention today nomin-
ated John Boyd Thatcher. Of Albany.
for governor. The platform endorses
the Chicago platform and Bryan and
sewall
( 1t is a significant fact that the state
organization leaders, who have hereto
/ fore controlled the conventions Of this
party. are still at the helm. Senator
Hill. Senator Ward Murphy. ex-Lieu-
tenant Governor W F. sheehan, Rich
ard Croker. and each OF the smaller
lights Of the party. who serve under
these mems banners, are undoubtedly
satisfied with the work Of today's CON
vention. 1t had been predicted up to
last night that these leaders would
have no control Of the convention and
that they themselves would practical
ly be read out Of the party to make
room for more youthful aspirants. The
result Of the convention today Is this:
0 hF tANhNA 10 uH Vi the oAAlll Ql-
ganization men who have been nom
mated; the selection OF a leader who
did not attend the convention has been
adopted for chairman Of the state com
mlttee; the national committeeman to
/ be selected next week viii be men IA
vorable to the organization leaders, and
the platform is not as radical as 1t
was intimated some weeks ago it would
be.
Those who are inclined to be ex-
tremely radical in their advocacy OF
silver display some little disappOint-
ment tonight over the platform, but
as whole 1t Is taken with very good
grace. The state committee. as con-
stituted, contains a majority Of strict
ly state organization men and the Sc
lection this afternoon Of Elliot Dan
forth to be chairman. Calvin J, Hud-
son secretary, and the agreement to
make Frank S. Campbell, OF Bath, ma
tional committeeman as soon as Sena-
tor Jones has notified the committee Of
the resignation Of W. F. Sheehan. has
evidenced a desire to conduct the cam
paign from the standpoint of the state
organization.
( The refusal Of Tammany to indnrse
the candidacy OF one Of its own mem
bers, William Sulzer, was not due to
any personal objection to him, but
rather, as was explained by Senator
Grady. because it was believed that
Tammany would embarrass itself and
be accused in the event of Bryan's de-
feat, of selling out TO the national tick
| ct to secure the election of one of its
members TO state office.
1t is very generally conceded tonight
among the more prominent of the dele
gates that the selection of Thatcher
will not be successful in preventing
the gold men from nominating a third
ticket

Barja-on-the-Nile Sept 1.-THE eX-
pedltion Of the Anglo-Egyptiman troops
numbering about 10000 men, under Sir
dar and Gen, Sir Herbert Kitchener,
arrived here today from Fareig after
a wearisome march of eight miles over
very bad tract Of country. Intense
heat prevailed, but the troops are all in
flrst-claSs condition. The present stop
ping place is only fifteen miles from
Kerma, where the Dervishes are known
to be concentrating a strong force Of
cavalry and infantry. The scouts, how
ever, have not sighted any dervishes to-
day. although they We're pushed for
ward a considerable distance. Further
advance will be made tomorrow.
Kerma has been looked to as a point
where the first battle would occur, but
reconnoisances thus far made have
failed TO develop any force of the enc
my. II is not expected, however, after
the desperate kind Of fighting done by
the Devishes at Ferkeh. that they will
retire from Kerma without lighting.

GIVING THE OTHER SIDE A SHOW

Railway Age.
The following dispatch from Ell Paso,
Tex. explains itself;
Fl Paso. Texas, Aug 25.-A number
Of railway employees here have issued a
lengthy appeal to the railroad men and
laboring masses Of the country begging
I them to vote for Bryan and free coin
age, to assert their individual man
hood and ignore their would-be mas
ters. the managers OF corporations and
monopolies. The appeal affirms that
wealthy corporations have on all oc-
casions evinced their enmity toward
labor by banding together TO prevent
labor from obtaining wages; declares
that gold is the representative, the
strength of monopolies in the United
States. The appeal denounces Hunt
ington, Armour and others, and charg
es them with eonspiring TO secure a
monopoly on the money Of the land
to enable them to enslave labor. 1t
says that the employees of railroads
dare not come out and declare them
selves for silver, but they can keep
their own counsel on election day and
quietly vote for Bryan and Sewall. The
writer's Of the appeal say they are
not able to lose their jobs and cannot.
therefore sign their names to the ap-
peal. They accuse corporations with
calling on the government to shoot
down workingmen who protested
against having bread taken from the
mouths Of the wives and children. The
appeal closes with these words;
Now, If the laborlng classes will
act wisely in November next, the cor
porations win meet their Waterloo,
and there will be no more strikes. as
We will have legislation giving US just
ice without striking What have the
promises Of a corporation ever amount
ed to? Don't weaken Don't show the
white feather Stand by your princi-
pies and manhood If this is to be
war between capital and labor let it
be known that the railroad class Of
laboring men do not show the white
feather at the first fire"
1t will BE noticed that the heroic
men who issued this appeal and call on
railway employees not to show the
white feather" but to "stand by their
manhood" are themselves afraid to
sign their names, Brave men!
They say: If this is to be a war BE-
tween capital and labor"
1t is not any such war. 1t is a war
of the honest laborer to protect HIM
self. 1t is question Of whether the
workingman wants to get his pay in
5O-cent dollars.
The talk about the commands of .
their would-be masters" will not scare /
any thinking workingman. He wants /
honest money in pay for his honest |
work, and he proposes to see that he
gets it.

of Bradford, Pa, who called on him.
He said:
According to the census. recently
taken by the newspapers in New York
I it appears that in July, 1892. 577 en-
ployers of labor in the United States
gave work to 114,2S1 hands. How was
it in July, 1896? The same EMPLOYERS
gave work to $500 hands: 35.5sl men
who had been employed in 1892 were
thrown out of employment in 1896 and
put II state Of idleness resulting in
the loss Of more than 30 per cent to
labor. In July 1892, the wages paid
to 1l42Sl hands amounted to $685.. 600.
In July, 1896, the earnings of $500
hands amounted to only S2,469.7l2, a
loss to labor on a single month in those
establishments Of forty per cent.
Yes, and Pennsylvania, like all the
rest of the country, will vote this year
with more knowledge.
I'm 1892 the monthly averages of
wages paid by these establishments was

The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1896-05-14

Anent the populist charge that state
school money had been invested IN
fraudulent school bonds issued by tn e
city of Pierre, Commissioner LOckhart
saws that the state has not put l cent or
its school money into Pierre school
bonds, and the article from beginning to
end is an unwarranted falsebood. He
says the commissioner has 40 discretion
in the investment OF the school fund;
that his duty is to apportion it to the
counties, and the county commissioners
receive it and loan ID to farmers upon
real estate security as provided by law.
Hughes county has invested 5000 OF its
appcrtionment in the manner provided
by law. But this sum is not the full
amount to which Hughes county is en-
titled; the first apportionment made by
Mai. Ruth was not accepted by the COM
missioners, and it was therefore appor-
toned to other counties. 1t would be
wholly impossible for the state to make
investments as stated in the article re-
ferred to.
So far as the state school fund losing
100000 by the wrong doing of w. w.
Taylor, that, Mr.. Lockhart also says, is
untrue. The fund will not lose l cent by
the Taylor shortage, for whatever may
be the deficit, it will be made good to
the school fund by the state.
