ION July Q the strike was ordered By our

the operators made no effort TO bring II 10
close and then only by forcible methods
Their first meeting was held In Cleveland
where they determined to build stockades

not SAVIOR of a proper spirit for ooncilia-

men who fear discussion OF the question
at issue and prefer to employ force to
accomplish their ends. which We are sure
Will
They have also found II necessary 10

are led TO believe from their public OK
pressions. is to mould public sentiment In
their favor and the public is advised by
them that We are opposed TO arbitration. no
in fact that We Will do nothing that Ia fair
TO end the present struggle
Then. further. that our organization is
being supported by operators In other
States. who want TO continue the strike as
well is the various other things calculated
to change the course OF public opinion.
From the beginning OF this strike to
the present time we have advised In favor
Of a conference OF all the fields involved and
| still invite II. We have never during thai
time been asked ~ the operators OF an,
field TO take part in conference OF an,
character. but or the other hand, attended
the Pittsburg conferences on Monday and

OF that districA We have not opposed ar

Mr.. White, whom the Iowa Democrats
nominated for governor, was chairman
of the state convention, and the character
of the man can be correctly inferred no
doubt from the character Of his speech to
the convention. That was largely a raid
OF property and property owners, such
as we would be likely to get from Debs
or any other avowed socialist. Such a
selection is not unnatural. A party that
would rob q debtor of half of his debt
might reasonably be expected to advance
to the position that all property is rob-
berry. When the votes are counted this
fall we shall know how this idea takes
among the Iowa farmers. We are inclined
to think that they will find it altogether
too advanced for their taste. Having
property of their own they are hardly
likely to subscribe to the idea that they
have stolen it.
The Portland daily press., 1897-06-28

Governor Powers is right, und oubtedly
in assuming that the legislature did not
intend to forbid tho sale of paris green
for bug-killing purposes by ordinary
country store keepers. The law which
contains the seeming prohibition is an act
to regulate the dispensing of medicines
by apothecaries, and though one section
of it taken alone, is broad enough to COW
er the sale of poisons for all purposes,
yet when considered with reference to
other parts of the law it becomes suffic-
iently evident that the purpose of the leg
lslature was simply to restrict the sale of
poisons under such conditions as would
raise a reasonable presumption that they
were being purchased for administration
to human being. To give to the law the
broadcast construction which it will adj
nit of would greatly cripple the dealer in
paints and in photograph materials as
well as the keeper of the country store
who has large demand made upon him
this time of year for poisons which are
absolutely essential for the saving 1.-THE

Congregationalism. Had Mr. Andrews
replied to me in the spirit in which
wrote to him, and told me what / now
understand he has told others since, but
which not one of the seven candidates
had suspicion of at the time of their
baptisln-that he only wanted time to
consider the matter, and make his own
arrangements therefor, I should have
been most happy to be relieved of the adj
ditional care and labor which my action
involved.
May be allowed to add that the action
of the ''disaffected" ones in starting an
other meeting, and thus practically-at
least for the time-seceding from Bethany
church, has been opposed by me from
their very first suggestion of such thing.
l on one occasion spent an entire evening
with nearly all these parties, for the sole
purpose of preventing if possible such
action and during that interview l said
everything could to turn them from their
purpose, earnestly advising them all to
continue their attendance at the church,
whatever others said or did. And I sup
posed when came away from that inter.
view, that l had succeeded in settling
the matter as against secession. One
thing l have said very positively, and
now say again, they will get no assistance
or comfort from myself, in any form, if
they persist in making as 'tschism" in a
CHRISTIAN church, as firmly believe that
to be very rarely justifiable.

There seems to be a direct issue of
veracity between Senator Allen and Prof.
Bateman. The senator says he signed
Bateman's name to the Bryan letter at
Bateman's request, while Bateman says
the signature is a forgery. Both these
statements cannot be true. Somebody
has forgotten or is fibbing little. As
there appears to be no way to settle it it
looks as if the controversy might go on
forever, unless the disputants get tired,
and Populists seldom get tired of using
their mouths.
