the same point.

and that is the trouble with the party

and that is the trouble with the party
in Ohio to-day.
l have but one illustration to give
at this time showing the brutal slave
driving propensities of Mark Hanna,
and his disdain and contempt for men
OF all kinds. Three weeks prior to the
close of the campaign of 1896 word
was brought to me that Hanna had en-
ployed Pinkerton detectives to shadow
everybody connected with the national
committee This applied, so it was
stated, especially to the labor bureau
Of the committee. Before taking ac-
ton | determined to investigate the
charge. l did Investigate, and found
that Hanna had actually made arrange
ments with the Pinkertons to shadow
the men in the employ of the labor
bureau. The trap we set for one of his
squads" served as most successful
decoy. The leader Of that particular
squad with whom this arrangement
was made, will never forget the sequel
of that exposure and will never like
ly enter into similar negotiations five
stories above the ground. When it
had thus been fully proven that Hanna
had engaged the Pinkertons to shadow
his associates of the national commit
tee, 1 packed up my grip and called
on the committee for an understand
ing. 1 saw Hanna himself and he,
while admitting the Pinkerton bust
ness, said it was a mistake and SOL
EMMY assured me that it would never
happen again. then concluded to re-
main for the balance of the campaign,
and did so.
| mention this conduct of Hanna to
show the people of Ohio, and particu-
larly the working people of the State,
the true character of Mark Hanna and
to further expose his close relation
ship with the murderous Pinkertons,
who are always to be found on the side
VI CdplCdl anu uIOuOpOly anu WHO are
always ready and willing to shoot
down working men at the slightest nod
from those who pay them for COM
hitting the murder of innocent and
honest workingmen. The workingmen
of Ohio cannot possibly have any use
for a man so closely connected with
Pinkerton plugism. In all the history
of this murderous agency, there is yet
to be found a single instance where
the Pinkertons have been on the side
Of labor. They work for money and
murder at their own caprice. The
workingmen do not have the money to
pay for their service. Only men like
Hanna can afford to employ them.
With Hannaism in the Senate and in
junction judges on the benches of the
courts, Pinkertonism will flourish in
this country. Any workingman who
supports Hanna to-day is simply forg-
ing the chains Of industrial slavery
about his neck and wrists more firmly
than they are now. Industrial free
dom will never be out of danger with
Hanna as the dictator of the Republic
can party.

ST. LOUIS. Mo-, October ga move
ment is on foot among st. Louis manufac-
turers and other large users of coal to
operate mines and get the product at first
hands. AS result of the strike among
the Illinois coal miners the pits from
which the supply of coal for Sta Louis is
dug are closed, and there Is great search
ty of the bituminous article here.
1t has been proposed by James A. Rear
DON a well-known business man and one
of the largest consumers of coal in this
city, that the manufacturers get together
and operate mines for themselves. BY
that method they would not only free
themselves from the trust. but would
be able to pay the miners good wages and
still obtain their coal supply cheaper than
it could be purchased in the market. The
idea is meeting with considerable favor
and Mr.. Reardon predicts that number
of the big local consumers will soon be
taking out them own coal from Their

The Convict problem.

/ The time IS rapidly approaching when
/ the legislature must decide what shall be
4 done with the state convicts. Arrange
ments must be made for taking care Of
/ them before the contracts with the lessees
! expire and these contracts will expire in
about two years.
| The best of all the suggestions for car
| ing for the convicts is the one that a
large tract of land shall be purchased
and the convlcts utilized in cultivating q
big state farm. In Mississippi this plan
is productive of very satisfactory results.
The state owns two or three plantations,
and, as has been pointed out frequently
by the Morning News, the products of the
labor OF the convlcts more than pay the
expenses of feeding, guarding and cloth
ing them. After all of the expenses Of the
penitentiary are paid quite a large sum
remains almost every year to be held as
surplus to meet the deficiencies Of poor
crop years or to be turned into the state
treasury. a convict farm to pay, must,
of course, have a very capable manager.
In connection with the farm plan for the
Georgia convicts the Rome Ga, Tribune
9uSSG5ls tLldl the AdILl Dt lUGdNC0 OI oliG
of the sea islands off the coast of the
state, and thet the convicts be employed
in cultivating sea island cotton for the
money crop. They would also cultivate
enough food crops to supply their own
wants.
The sea island idea is a good one. 1t
would be more diffi cult for convcts to es-
cape from such an island than from O
farm on the main land, and, hence, the ex-
pense for guards would be less; besides,
the living on sea island would be cheap
er than in the interior because very little
fuel would be needed for heating purposes
and the sea would afford much of the
food needed by the convicts. OF the health
fulness of the islands there is no question.
But could desirable sea island or part
Of an island, within Georgia's jurisdiction,
be obtained at a reasonable price? What
has the Rome Tribune to say of that ques-
ton. 1t must have investigated the matter
pretty thoroughly before il made its sug-
gestion, and we are sure there are many
who would like to have the benefit of its
Information. Has it Sapelo and Warsaw
in mind?

A snrnrise for the Actors.

theatrical manager cannot always be
sure OF his crowd, even when he sees It,,
says the Chicago Record. James z. Boyd,
once a governor of Nebraska and always
well known on the Chicago Board of
Trade. used to own a theater in Omaha.
In the course of the season an open date
appeared on the book and little second
rate company succeeded in breaking into
the house for the untitled time. This
company had been having all kinds of
hard luck, and the manager had been fam
ished for money for a month Hope and
despair combined kept the company TO-
sether and at odd times the manager
would give out a quarter or half dol
lar to some especially tenacious pleader.
on the evening of the opening at Boyd S
one of the members of the company
struck the head of the combination for a
dollar much to the amazement of the lat
ter. The actor said he would arbitrate,
compromise or do anything. He finally
agreed to call il square If his superior
would buy him a drink. On this Decent
basis they came to terms, and returned
to the theater front and watched the box
office hungrily.
Somewhat to their surprise, man stop
ped, and then another, and then imme-
diately afterward a whole crowd of people
half an hour the place was besieged. No
such house had ever been called out by
the little cheap company, and these peo-
PIE were all of a fine grade, too.
Luck is with us" cried the manager to
his delighted employee. Come and let's
spend what 1 have in celebration" So
they went out and destroyed the symmet-
ry of the last five-dolar bill in the silk
HATED mans possession. After which, re-
turning 10 the box office. they asked the
ticket seller how much had been taken in
Eight dollars and forty cents" was the
reply.

Diddy ana the watermelon.

After her first experience Bridget be-
came more wary and required information
on the treatment of the different viands
before undertaking them, says the Wash
ington Post. Her usual question was:
"How do the 'Mericans ate this, NUM-"
The form of inquiry was occasionally va
red, as in the case of the watermelon.
When it was delivered to her she seemed
decided between establishment and fear.
Conquering the latter sentiment, she de-
manded: rs it billed yez want the green
nut Num-"
Her mistress saved her large slice of
the melon and gave it to her to eat with
dinner. That night we were all awaken
ed by a commotion in the house; Bridget
was dying. Everybody suggested a rem
edy, but the patient refused to take any
thing but buttermilk, which was not OBJ
tainable. Finally doctor was brought
upon the scene, and reported that the
girl was suffering from acute indigestion.
''Well, I'm sure 1 don't see what could
have given it to her; the dinner was sim
pie, and, though we did have watermelon,
it was fresh and ripe" said madame

She survived the melon rind and recov-
cred sufficiently in a few days to write
home that 'Mericay is a great place,
