Harper's Weekly desire to see them "edu-
Gated" up to the point of supporting poll
ley at the polls and then denouncing it as
immoral when their denuncation can have
no possible effect?
We ask Harper's Weekly to point out to
us one real Southern leader who has gone
into public office poor and come out of 1t
rich. We ask 1t to point to one man who
at this moment represents Southern senti-
ment who has enriched himself by carrying
out the aims and purposes Of Wall street.
The intimation or insinuation that lynch
ing is confined to the South is worse than
absurd; 1t is false. II Is. of course, no de-
Tense of the South to say that lynchings
occur wherever provocation lis given. But
1t Is silly for Harper's Weekly to single out
the South as the victim of its malicious lee
lures. II we arc to be harangued by name,
Let 1t be for some failing or for some negli
gence which is peculiar to this section, II
we are to be held up to the scorn Of the
pio,,s souls who find comfort in the plati-
tudlnous teachings OF Harper's Weekly. let
II be for some sin In which we are slngu-
lar.
II. as MIR. Henry Loemis Nelson admits,
education Is needed everywhere, let him
address his attacks to everybody, and not
hale the South to the bar of the hypocrtes
who voted for the party Of protection, and
who now denounce the Dingley bill.
Perhaps we take Harpers Weekly too Sc
riously, perhaps we exaggerate the import
ance of the malice that grins behind Its
homeless verbiage. But the fact remains
that for nearly forty years II has devoted
itself and all its forces to maligning and
slandering TIE Southern people. All this
was we'll enough when 1t was addressing
the prejudicial audience that~demanded this
style Of journalism. But now 1t is address,
ing a new. and, we hope, a better educated
circle OF readers: and It's present political
crusade against the South will not meet
with the approval OF all those who may
have once applauded its sectional warfare.

THE COAL STRIKE.

Railway Employees May AID the Miners.
Pittsburg, July 10.-The strike lead
err are maintaining the greatest secre-
cy regarding their movements, but 1t Ii
believed they contemplate calling on
the railway organizations for assist
ance. Secretary Warner gave out IN
formation to-day that a meeting OF
railway employees was held yesterday,
at which the situation Of the miers'
strike was fully discussed. Resolutions
were adopted pledging support to the
strikers and each member was asses
cd 50 for the strike fund. Mr.. Warner
refused to dlvulge the name OF the rail-
road employing the men, stating that
It might lead to an investigation and
the discharge of the men.
From another source 1t was reported
to be meeting OF the conductors mud
brakemen OF the roads centering In
PIttsburg.
It was claimed that the action taken
was at the suggestion of the officials Of
the Railway Trainmen's Union.
Active work has been commenced In
the coal region and efforts will bc made
to bring out all the men mt the mines
where the product ls being shipped TO

THE TARIFF BILL. r.
Confsrsuoe Report Adopted By the House
After Twelve Hours Debate.

Confsrsucs Report Adopted By the House
After Twelve Hours Debate.
Washington, July 19.-The confer
ence report on the tariff bill was adopt
ed by the House shortly after midnight
by vote of 1876 to 118, and at noon to-
day the report will go to the Senate for
action there. This eclipses all previous
records. The result was accomplished
after twelve hours Of continuous de-
bate. But two speeches were made by
the Republicans, one by Mr.. Dingley.
In opening the debate, and by Mr..
Payne Of New York, In closing It. The
Democrats We're thus forced to put
forth speaker after speaker, but their
bombardment Of the Republican POSI-
tlOn was unanswered.
In all, ten Democrats and one POpu-
list speeches We're made. Messrs.
Wheeler of Alabama, Swanson of Vir-
ginia, Ball Of Texas, Lanham OF Tex
as, Kelly Of North Dakota, Fleming Of
Georgia, Handy of Delaware, Mellow
ell of Ohio, Perry of Kentucky, Bailey
of Texas and Mcmillan of Tennessee
being the speakers.
The sugar schedule WINS the main
point of assault, but the most inter-
esting feature of the debate occurred
when Mr.. Bailey and Mr.. Mcmillan,
the two rival Democratic leaders,
crossed SWOruS on the question u or-
thodoxy Of the free raw material doc
trine, the former opposing, and the lat
ter championing 1t.
The galleries were crowded up to the
time the vote was taken, many distin-
guished people being present. Among
them were a number of senators, sew
eral members of the Cabinet, and q
few members of the diplomatic corps.
Every Republican in the House, who
was present, voted for the report. The
Democrats, with five exceptions, voted
against the report. The exceptions
were Slayden of Texas, BrOssard of
Louisiana, Meyer of Louisiana, Davey
Of Louisiana and Kleburg of Texas.
The Populists and Silverites did not
vote solldly. Mr.. Shafroth Of Colorado
and Newlnnds Of Nevada, Silverites,
abstained from voting. Mr.. Hartman,
Silverite, did not vote.
The Populists who voted against the
report were as follows: Baker, Bar
low. Butkin, Fowler, Jett. Lewis, Mar.
shall, Martin, Peters, Simpson, Strowd
and Vincent. Four did not vote--How-
ard, Kelly, Stark and Sutherland. The
other Populists were absent. An anal
ysIs of the vote shows that $50 Repub-
licans and five Democrats voted for
the report, and 1O6 Democrats and
twelve Populists against 1t.

Tntsrssting Facts About the Region and

fnterssting Facts About the Region and
Its Plncers.
San Diego, Cal, July 10.-An inter-
esting letter, telling of the recent trip
of the steamer Alaska, has been writ
ten by Captin J. F. Higgins of the
steamer to a friend in this city. He
says:
'.The word Clondyke means Deer riv-
er, and is called Reindeer river on the
charts. It empties into the Yukon fifty
miles above the big river. The geo.
graphical position of the junction is
seventy-six degrees ten minutes north
latitude. 1873 degrees fifty minutes west
longitude. Bonanza creek dumps into
ClOndyke two miles above the Yukon.
Ell Dorado Is a tributary of the Bonan-
za. There are numerous other creeks
and tributaries, the main river being
300 miles long. The gold SO far has
RADIO, both well named, for the richness
of the placers is truly marvellous. Ell
Dorado, thirty miles long, is staked
the whole length, and us far MS worked,
has paid.
"As each claim is 500 feet along the
creek bed, there Is half a million to
the claim. So uniform has the output
been that one miner who has IN inter
est In three claims, told me that II Of
fered his choice he would toss up to
decide. One of our passengers who is
taking $1,000 with him. has worked
100 feet of his ground and refused
100000 for the remainder, and conf
IDENTIFY expects to clean up 100000
more. He has in n bottle 1912 from
pan Of dirt. His pay dirt while being
washed averaged $3.50 an hour to each
man shovellng In. Two others of our
miners who worked their own claims,
cleaned up $1,000 from the days wash
ing. There Is about feet feet Of dirt
above bed rock, the pay streak averag-
ing from four to six feet, which Is tun.
neled out while the ground is frozen.
OF course, the ground taken out is
thawed by building fires, and when
the thaw comes and water rushes In
they set their sluices and wash the
dirt. Two Of our fellows thought a
small bird In the hand worth n large
one In the bush and sold their claims
for $45, 600, getting a, 800 down, the re-
mainder to be paid in monthly INSTALL
ments Of $4,000 each. The purchas-
ers had no more than 5000 paid.
They were twenty days thawing and
getting dirt out. Then there was no
water to sluice with. but one fellow
made rocker and In ten days took out
the $4,000 for the first installment.
So, tunnelIng and rocking, they took
out $4,000 before there was water to
slulce with.
"Of course, these things read like the
story of Aladdin. but fiction Ia not In
It with facts at Cl0ndyke. The ground
located and prospected can be worked
out in a few years. but there is still an
immense territory untouched. and the
laboring man who can get there with
one years provisions will have better
chance to make u stake than In any
other part of the world"

shor, Crop Of Peaches.

New York, July ia special to the
Tribune from Baltimore says: Boston
and New York drew largely on the Del
aware and Maryland peninsula for
their supplies OF peaches. From one
hundred thousand to two hundred thou
sand baskets nrc shipped to those cities
every season from the tidewater coun-
ties Of Maryland. Agents have just
completed their estimate of the crop
and estimate that the yield will not be
more than one-fourth of that of last
summer. The June crop in the or
chards was unusually heavy. but the
failure Is largely caused by the rava-
ges of the ciirculio, an insect that in
tests nearly every orchard in this great
peach-growing country. The same in
sect has done considerable damage in
the Delaware and New Jersey or
chards.

zEoLEN'scLorH BULLET PROOF
Inventor Freely Exposes Himself to 8
MIaallc.

Missile.
Chicago, July 1G.-The bullet-proof
cloth Invented by Brother Casimir Zeg-
len Of the Catholic Order Of the Resur-
rectionIsts was successfully tested Sat
urtiay afternoon on the roof OF build
ing at West Twelfth street and Ogden
avenue. Brother ZeglIn stood behind n
framework OF wood, iron and nrmor
plate. with an opening In II big enough
to expose his chest. and then Lieuten-
ant Sarnccki OF the Austrian army
fired shots from revolver mt distance
OF ten PAGES. The bullet-proof cloth did
the work. The bullets barely entered
the cloth and could bc picked out cas-
lily. On the other side of the cloth
there was only small spot to show
for the shot Zeglen's chest was free
from any abrasion.
There was Il corps of physician pres
ent to see the test. After several shots
had been fired nt the inventors protect
cd chest. DIR. +. =. wcsterschulte put
on the armor and had the lieutenant
fire at him. He said when the bullet
struck him he felt Us II he had been
gently patted by Il child. All those pres
ent declared the test n complete sue
cess.
Brother Zcglen says that the secret
Of his bullet-proof cloth lies in the
method Of shrinking the cloth fiber. His
cloth, he says, Is made of silk and
wool and one other fiber. the name of
which he does not give. The tests were
all made with revolver bullets. for only
against missiles from such weapons
will his cloth provide protection. Zeg-
len. however. has fabric almost ready
which. he says. will withstand steel
bullets. Tests Of this cloth with Krng-
Jorgensen rife will be made at Fort
Sheridan within few weeks. Brother
Zeglin expects to sail for Europe Aug
ust Is to sell his bullet-proof cloth to
the German army.
