ONE STRIKE GAINED.

Paterson, N. j., March 19.-Three
hundred strikers in the Enterprise
Silk mill, who went out for an increase
of wages of 30 per cent, returned to
work today. The old scale of wages
for which they struck will be paid
them. Their victory is the first gain
ed by the strikers in Paterson.
The strike in the Phoenix Silk mill
is still on but the mills are running
with non-union men and the propri-
etors say they will not make any at
tempt to induce the strikers to return
to work.

No Free Silver BimetaIIIsm.

The free and unlimited coinage of sill
YER, when it does not preserve its parity
with gold, cannot be a condition in true
bimetallism because in it's effect it is
directly antagonistic to the system.
Whenever practiced it always results
in monometallism, and silver at that.
Such is the case now in all silver ooun-
tries, as Mexico and China, and such
was the case in the United States in the
40 wears prior to 1894.

Afraid of Sixteen TO One Fire

The democrats of Rhode Island will,
it is said, ignore the currency question
in their coming state convention. They
will ignore it for the same reason that a
burnt child stops playing with fire. 1t
is to be hoped that the democrats will
profit by past mistakes. It would be a
pity not to have the two great old par
ties in the field In 1900.

corpo rations and rIoney in Politics.

Mr.. Chapman was not the ouly
recalcitrant witness before that
senatorial committee. Mr.. Have
meyer and Mr.. Searls, as the great
men of the Sugar Trust, were
asked to state the amounts of con-
tributions made by the Trust for
political purposes. They abso-
lutely refused to answer the ques-
tion. We have reached an ex-
tremely unfortunate stage in our
political life when great corpora
tions can with impunity make
secret gifts to the political funds of
the opposing parties, and can de-
family refuse, when on oath before
committee of the United States
senate, to give the facts. 1t can
not be a right thing in public ethics,
nor ought it to be possible under
the law, for corporation to con-
tribute to the campaign funds of
any political party. 1t is worse
rather than better for a great cor
poration to contribute at the same
time to funds of opposing parties.
Such conduct would seem to indi-
cate purpose to poison all political
and public life at the very sources.
When great corporations like the
Sugar Trust stand ready to pour
out vast sums of money for purposes
of political influence, a premium is
at once placed upon the control of
politics and legislation by losses
and machines. The existence of
these secret funds supplied by
corporations that can afford to pay
fabulous amounts for favorable
legislation, causes great uneasineSs
among honest men. Hardly an
other situation so fraught with
danger has arisen since the founda-
tion of the Republic. 1t cannot be
that rich men who will thus pro-
mote their selfish interests at the
expense of the dignity and honor
of the State, are entitled to be con-
sidered good citizens.-From The

COMMUNICATED.

Editor LEADER:-I would like
space in your paper to say to my
friends and neighbors that l will no
longer oppose hunting with dogs
in my vicinity. 1 have opposed it
since 1882, and have caused some
i'll feelings on that account. The
game is gone now, and we have no
need to quarrel any longer. You
can bring your dogs and hunt
without fear of opposition, if they
let the stock alone.
To those who are setting the fern
on fire, will say September is the
time for that. Now it kills the
grass and cultivates the fern crop.
In September the crop is matured
and if there is dry fern enough to
run the green will hold the evapor-
alton on the ground and the char
coal and ashes will cover the seed
and insure good winter pasture. So
do not set out fires now.

THE BODY FOUND.
Louis Devinea, who was Drownded
in Salmon River last December.

Last December Louis Devinea, a
settler on Salmon river started
from his cabin to go to Charley
Reeds place, distance of some
eight or ten miles. He was riding
one OF Reeds horses, and tied to
his saddle was bundle of clothes.
Five days after his disappearance
his horse was found by an Indian
named Saginaw Bill. The Indian
claimed that when he found the
horse it was standing in the water
about belly deep, in Salmon river,
with the bride fastened to some
bushes on the bank. Search was
made of the Indians cabin and the
bundle of clothes carried on the
saddle were found beneath some
bed clothing. Strong suspicion
was directed at the time against
the Indian, but nothing was done.
Last Wednesday, a week ago,
Nose Gillian, another Indian living
on Salmon river, discovered the
body of a dead man nearly buried
in the sand some distance below
where the horse was found. He
gave the alarm and upon investiga-
ton the body was identified as that
of the missing Devinea. The head
was partly out of the sand while
most of the body was covered up.
The body was quite badly decom.
posed, and the only means of
Identification were by the spurs
which belonged to Henry Curl
which were still on the boots, and
a pair of chaps that were on the
body, that belonged to Charley
Reed. The coroner was sent for
but could not be reached, and so
Justice of the Peace Cook, acting
as coroner, held an inquest upon
the remains. A careful inspection
of the remains failed to disclose
any marks of violence or foul play,
and in the pockets of the clothing
was found 81. so in money. 1t was
known that this was all the money
the deceased had when he started
out, and so that disposed of the
idea of robbery. The coroner's S
jury returned a verdict of death by
accidental drowning.
1t is thought now that the
Indian, Saginaw Bill, simply took
the goods off of the saddle when he
found the horse and appropriated
them for himself, and that he had
nothing to do with the drowning.

Mr.. Isaac Horner, proprietor of
the Burton House, Burton, w. Va, ,
and one of the most widely known
men in the state was cured of
rheumatism after three years of
suffering. He says: II have not
sufficient command of language to
convey any idea of what 1 suffered,
my physicians told me that nothing
could be done for me; and my
friends were fully convinced that
nothing but death would relieve
me of my suffering. In June, 1894,
Mr.. Evans, then salesman for the
Wheeling Drug Co., recommended
Chamberlain's Pain Balm. At
this time my foot and limb were
swollen to more than double their
normal size and it seems TO me my
leg would burst, but soon after
began using the Pain Balm, the
swelling began to decrease, the
pain to leave, and now 1 consider
that I am entirely cured" For

a DEFENCE OF TRUSTS.
From the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post
We have never heard but one intcli-
gent objection urged against trusts" ana
that was urged by MIR. Cleveland in his
last message. He there said that the
operation of the trust was to absorb the
smaller industries in their line, and to
merge the individuality OF the persons
conducting those industries He thought
that the process destroyed personal indie
pendence and narrowed the field for the
display of personal manhood As we say,
that is the only intelligent objection we
have knowledge of. and it must be con-
fessed that 1t is a serious one. 1t is not
an objection to be lightly dismissed. Yet
is not this effacement of individuality this
limitation of personal freedom, an inevl-
table concomitant of organized society and
progressive civilization? IL any one to-
day, even the proudest millionaire, as
free as the untutored savage who roams
the Wilds of Africa? We fancy it will be
very difficult to show that trusts are out
of harmony with our social and economic
evolution. And then while admitting we
must consider what they do for the great
masses of the population In the days of
the private slaughter house ana the inde-
pendent butcher did the people ever get
such good meat or such cheap meat? Did
they, before the organization Of the sugar
trust, ever get such good sugar and such
cheap sugar? And is not the same true
of every article of food supplied by vast
establishments carefully managed?

Concerning Money in Politics.

A bill has been introduced at Albany
extending the law relating to the pub
lication of sworn returns of compaign
expenses so that it would, in the event
of the bills enactment, be difficult for
a candidate to do his buying of polit-
ical merchandise by proxy. Difficult
of course, provided the law We're en-
forced, but not impossible, SO long as
political conditions seem to make it
necessary that money should be en-
ployed in politics in large sums.
AS the law now stands in New York
state, a candidate must file within
sixty days after election an itemized
statement of his campaign expenses.
but these are not limited nor are his
items. questioned. In the Syracuse

something like $4,000, or $4,000 more
than his salary as congressman, for
the two years. He had sent most of the
money in a lump sum to his commit

fit.
This was probably not an exceptional
case save, perhaps, in the sum of
money involved, although It was, so far

An Intolerable Anomaly.

Discussion of the arbitration treaty
has again called up the singular
anomaly in our scheme of government
in reference to the powerlessness of the
federal government to guarantee TO
citizens of a foreign country safety i'll
any state. The most familiar illustra-
ton of this point is shown in the case
of the Italians lynched in New Or
leans during the Harrison administra-
tion. Here a mob suddenly over
whelmed state police authority and
executed illegal vengeance on the sub
jects of a friendly power. The prem
Ter of Italy sought of the United states
government an indemnity in behalf of
the families of these murdered men.
His claim was clearly just but haN-
ing no diplomatic dealing with the
state department of Louisiana he could
only advance it before the federal gov
ernment which in turn was found to
possess no method of compelling Louis
lana to pay for it's indulgence in mob
violence
In this particular case the then Sec
retary of state, Mr. Blaine, finally in
duced congress to make a special APP
propriatiOn satisfactory to italy. But
if we could suppose a similar contin-
gency arising during the term of Mr..
Olney, the chances would be that con-
gress, in sheer obstinacy, would deny
the solicited relief and there would re-
main no alternative for the executive
than to make an appeal to the uncer-
tain sense of justice of the Legislature
of the offending state--a confession of
federal weakness as humilatinG to us
as it would be ineXplicable to a foreign
government Carrying the supposition
one step further, if the Legislature of
the state affected should refuse the
presidents request and the foreign gov
ernment, grown impatient should send
a war ship to a state port or otherwise
threaten the state government with
forcible collection of damages-a pro-
Cedure not uncommon between Euro
pean powers-the president, while
fully recognizing the justice of the for
eign claim, would under the constitu-
tion have to employ the military and
naval force of the federal government
to defend the erring state in an in
equitable perversity.
To be sure, the foregoing contingency
appears far-fetched, but under pres.
ent conditions it is by no means al
impossibility. Its citation at least suf-
fees to show the need either of the
creation of a special fund for use by
\ the federal government in satisfaction
\ of international damages denied by {
separate American state, or of the
passage of a law, under clause 10 o.
section VIII of the constitution
empowering congress to levy {
punitive special tax on the reve
nues of that state which, after having
been convicted of an 'offense agains
the law of nations" refuses to pay in.
demnity therefor. The constitutional
ity of such a law would be open to Sc
rious if not fatal question, but an agi
tation of the subject might bring fortl
better remedy.

DINGLEY's PAPER ON GROVER
From the Lewiston Journal.

From the Lewiston Journal.
President Cleveland has vetoed more
bills by far than any of his predecessors.
And congress has passed more bills over
the veto than was ever before recorded
The president has the courage of his
opinions if not their wisdom. Perhaps
what President Cleveland needs more
than additional backbone, is additional
tact and a keen Interpretation of the
truth that the earth is inherited by the
meek. Yet it is probably true that Pre- 81
dent Cleveland will be followed in his re-
tirment by more non-partisan respect than
is usual, and yet without a whit of that
sort of esteem and comradeship which
was the essential riches of President Lin
coins public life. 1t cannot he wholly the
fault of the senate that but one senator
remains who is on familiar terms with the
retiring president, The man who Is
stranger to tact Is stranger in fact.
