Pittsburgh special: As the result of the
failure of the joint wage inference of the
Amalgamated Association of Iron and
Steel Workers and the manufacturers to
agree upon the scale at the Youngstown
conference, all the union mills are closed
down and between $1,000 and 5000 men
are idle. This includes the skilled
workmen and those depending upon
them. President Garland has returned
from Youngstown. When seen he said
he was not discouraged at the outlook,
but looked for settlement after the an
nual repairs at the mills have been COM
pleted. The employees of Jones & Laugh

per cent. reduction in wages, which, it is
said, is contemplated. 1t is said that the
meeting reported unfavorable upon the
proposition.

Republican broken promises as to Re-
publican success last year and pros
perity to follow are making the people
sick and tired The shallow campaign
talk of year ago about the silent fac
tory whistles and the hollow promises
of what Republicans would do so soon
as they were i'm power has created a
revulsion of sentiment among the peo-
pie which will surely carry the Repub-
lican party down to defeat this year.
You can fool the people with specious
promises one time, but you cannot do
it all the time. The common everyday

cried down, but protested with much
vigor until he was fully heard. He was
followed by Gen. Warner and Charles

the delegates that they had settled the
question in the morning, and if they re-

Torpedo Boats up the River.

AorpeoO DOats Up the R1ver.
7 A special from Washington 10 the New
Orleans Times Democrat says: A fleet
OF ten torpedo boats will be sent up the
mississippi River as far as Dubuque some
lime this summer. The object is to show
the people in the larger cities along the
river what modern boats of their class are
like. None of the torpedo boats draw
over six feet of water, and they can easi-
ly make the trip without much fear of
Being grounded. The fleet will leave
Newport about July Is and go direct to
New Orleans. 1t will then start on its
journey up the Mississippi River. The
department officials desire to discover
how much work the boats are capable of
doing, and think it is better to find out in
time of peace rather than in war.

A UNIQUE PLAN
To Rob Safe Containing $4,000
Almost Succeeds.

To Rob a Safe Containing $4,000
Almost Succeeds.
Cleveland special. A most unique at
tempt at safe cracking occurred at the
suburban town Of Chagrin Falls recent
ly. The strong box of the bank of Rodg-
ers & Sons was attacked. The cracks
men fastened wire to trolley wire
which ran by the place. A second wire
was fastened to the rails of the street
railroad. On the ends of the two wires
carbOns were fastened. An old dish pan
was then placed over the combination to
cut off the intense light and the carbon
tips were applied. The powerful cur
rent melted the steel combination as
though it was soft solder. A pile of sand
on the floor received the molten metal.
The $40, 900 in the safe would have been
in the hands of the scientific thugs in
few minutes had Sot the hour of 1:30 a.
m. arrived at that time, when the trolley
cars stop running. Consequently the
current was shut off. The com bination
was almost entirely melted off.

A STEAMER LOST,
The Alden Ran Ashore OFF the Island
of Socatra.


Alden special: The Indian Govern

of the missing steamer Alden, from Yoko-
homa, on April 2S, via Columbo and
Alden for London, which was last heard
of when leaving Columbo on June for
this port, has returned here and reports
that the Alden was totally lost off the
Island of Socatra, at the eastern ex-
tremity of Africa, on the morning
of June 9. Tho Alden carried thirty
four passengers from China and Japan.
The captain of the wrecked steamer, some
of her officers and crew, and seven white
passengers were swept overheard and
drowned very soon after she ran ashore.
Eight lady passengers, nine children, two
officers and few CT the Aden's crew sue
ceeded in getting away from the wreck
in boat, but they have not been heard
of since and little hope, owing to the bad
weather which has since prevailed, is en-.
tertained of their safety.

Republican Pretense.

Republican Preteuse.
The Republican platform adopted at
st. Louis declared in no uncertain tone
in favor of bimetallism, pledging the
party to do all that lay in its power to
bring about an international agreement
in favor of the use of both silver and
gold as the money of ultimate redemp-
ton.
What has the Republican party done
to prove that this pledge was sincere !?
1T is safe to say that it has done moth
ing, with the exception of sending a
commission to Europe, made up of
three men, one of whom is pronOunc-
ell sing'e gold standard advocate, one
who is credited with n secret leaning
toward gold and one who is genuine
bimetallist. Now, ii the Republicans
wanted bimetallism would they not
send bimetallists across the ocean to
urge their cause?
The fact is, the Republican platform
was made to catch votes and not to de-
clare principles. The plank on bimetal-
lism did not and does not express the
views of the party leaders. Every one
of the men who control the party ma
chine is a goldite, monometallist, a
man i'll league with Wall street and the
bondhoIders. The administration is
bitterly and unalterably hostile to sill
yer. The bimetallic plank in the Re-
publican platform was a lie and the
men who wrote it were-politicians.
The appointment of the bimetallic
commission was the silliest, most trans
parent and the shallowest trick ever
played, and was an insult to the intelli-
gence of fourteen million voters, Demo
cratic and. Republican combined, who
voted for bimetallism; for, say what
they may, the Republican platform
pledges the party to the double stand
ard. But that pledge was hypocriti-
cal bit Of fustian to fool the voter, and,
having served its purpose, is thrown
aside ana disregarded.
How sincere the administration is in
its desire to bring about an interna-
tional use of silver and gold as currency
can be judged from the fact that every
ambassador and every consul it has
sent abroad, so far, to represent the
United States in foreign courts, is a
radical and intolerant gold advocate.
The influence these representatives
will have in turning European thought
in favor of silver can readily be imag-
ined.
The bimetallic commission will first

double standard before it can reach the

lowest humbug on earth?

The Dollar and the Chance.

Mr.. Hanna's convention at Toledo re-

in favor of an honest dollar and a

the United States have been looking
for that chance to earn an honest dol
lar. They have strained their eyes in
every direction, but so far both the hon
est dollar and the chance have eluded
their search.-St. Louis Post Dispatch.

INSTRUMENTATION.

The cry of ''overprOduction' has al
ways suited the purposes of high pro-
tectionists. There is no such thing as
over-production. however, in the aggre-
gate. Production is the natural ser
want of consumption. and it is under
consumption that causes business de-
preston. decreased purchases being the
natural sequence. The overproduction
argument is wholly pessimistic, de-
pressing and Illogical. The proper term
is underconsumption.-B Globe.
