render prisoners Wanted.
Walker, Mimi, Oct 12.-Gus Beau
lieu, Father Aloysius, Red Blanket and
another Indian left Walker yesterday
afternoon on the steamer Flora. When
the peace party reaches Bear Island
the two chiefs will go ashore and ask
for an immediate council. Commits
sioner Jones' letter will be read and
efforts will be made to persuade the
men wanted to give themselves up.
Beaulieu believes that a favorable an
swer will be brought back by the peace
party.
Indian Commissioner Jones has spent
much time investigating the causes of
the Indian trouble so far as it could
be learned in Walker and in seeking to
learn what settlement of the difficulty
would be satisfactory to the whites of
this vicinity. The plan has been for the
Indians to submit to arrest, be given
a light punishment and then return to
their homes after promising to be good.
The surrender of the 20 Indians for
whom arrests are out will not remove
the cause of the present trouble or re-
store a friendly feeling among the In
dams who sympathize with the Pill
layers. Citizens here generally assert
that the reds have been badly treated
by the whites, and the battle that re-
suited so disastrously was the culmina-
ton of dissatisfaction They therefore
fear further trouble unless there is a
thorough settlement now.

D0INGS In NEW JERSEY.


Atlantic City, Oct. 10.-The most DIS
astrous fire in the history of this city
swept away everything along the
boardwalk, between Tennessee and
South Carolina avenues at an early
hour Saturday morning, and stopped
not in it's progress westward on Ocean
avenue and the other avenues named
until nearly a score of buildings had
been destroyed. The total loss is esti-
mated at 100000.
New Brunswick Oct. 11.-Seven years
in state prison was the sentence inn
posed upon Charles Aspinwall by Judge
Woodbridge Strong this afternoon. AS
pinwall is a desperate character. He
held up and robbed a man in front of
the Middlesex county court house in
this city a year ago last June and at
tempted to shoot a policeman when he
was arrested. In August, 1897, he es-
capped from the county jail.
Plover, Oct 10.-The Morris county
Republican convention was held in Ba-
ker's Opera House today. The follow
ing nominations were unanimously
made: For state senator. Mahlon Pit
ney of Morristown. Jacob w. Welsh of
German Valley and George e. Poole
of Chatham were renominated for as
sembly, and Daniel S. Voorhees, of Nor
ristown received the nomination for
county clerk.
Trenton, Oct. 11.-Secretary Of State
Wurts has sent out blanks to enable
the soldiers and sailors of the state
now in the service of the government to
vote at the coming election These
blanks were sent to Camp Meade and
the other points where the absent sol
diers and sailors are located. Under
the New Jersey laws an absent soldier
or sailor in time of war may vote by
sending a sealed ballot to another cleo
tor in his district to cast for him.
Jersey city, Oct. 1.-THE disappear
ance of Justice Douglass, of this city
from the steamboat Dean Richmond at
Albany, N. Y, Sunday is attributed
by many of his friends to financial
troubles A mortgage on the Justices
residence was foreclosed last week and
the house sold. Had he collected the
1000 which the city stipulated to pay
him for revising the laws concerning
the city he could have saved the house.
Justice Douglass life was insured for
$4,000 The policies are said to be in
contestible.

The workers in the glass factories Of
South Jersey are sufferers from system OF
payment of wages that workers in a free
country ought not be subjected to. With
perhaps one exception THAT of the Wood.
bury Glass Works. Company store is an
annex to every glass making establishment
in this section, and system of trading out
wages is enforced which in its results is
more degrading to labor than the old
shiny system To enforce semi monthly
cash payments the Glass Blowers organiza-
ton in 1885 appealed to the legislature,
aud the result of that appeal was reported
t. the annual Giasshlowers Convention by
Joseph D. Troth, then President Of the
Glass Blowers League. The report is of
considerable length, and covers the dis
couragements of the effort, but it places
responsibility for the result just where
responsibility belongs in the following
sentence -
Congressman Loudenslager and Gardi-
uer and ex-C0ngressman Hires were arrayed
against the bill, and William J. Sewell,
United States Senator was appealed to but
refused TO interfere"
Two of the above-named are now candi-
dates for reelection, and in order to be
successful must have the votes of the men
thew then betrayed. Will those in this
district who suffsr from this system kiss
the hand that forged the chains which
depriyed them of their right to payment
of wages at proper intervals ia lawful
money. or will they cast their ballots for
one they know will aid in releasing them
from this abominable and un-American
system.

will be asked in Novem Der to endorse in q
bunch the administrations of John W.
Griggs, Foster M. Voorhees, and David O.
Watkins, but they know that the real
Governor of the State for the past three
years has been William ]. Sewell They
wouldn't elect him if he was candidate
and there is no reason why they should
elect his representatives. If Mr.. Voorhees,
had not filled the Gubernatorial chair fl
several months he might be elected, as Mr.
Griggs was, in the belief that he would
not be controlled by the Republican Boss
but both when in Office succumbed to bis
dictation. 1t may now be the voice Of

Governor and Company In Conflict as
to the States Duty.
Chicago, Oct. 1s.-The difficulty at the
virden mines originated April /, 1898,
when the miners of the fourth district
of Illinois went out on strike insti-
tuted by the United Mine Workers.
Troubles followed at once at Pana, but
the Virden mines remained quiet
through the summer. The strikers had
asked for 40 cents ton, and We're of
fered rs cents. Actual disturbances at
virden began Sept 25, when the Chi
cago- virden company, the principal
mine owner at that point, imported
hundred negroes from Birmingham,
Ala.
When the train arrived with them on
board it was met by a large body of
armed union men. who threatened to
shoot the first negro that stepped from
the cars. The negroes were finally pre-
vailed upon to return to the south, and
the mines were not operated
President T. c. Loucks, of the Chi
cago-Virden company. then proceeded
to make preparations to get other
miners. Oct Sheriff Davenport noti-
fled Governor Tanner that there would
certainly be trouble. and that state
troops were needed to preserve the
peace. The governor asked If it was
the purpose of the coal company, in the
event of troops being sent, to import
miners from other states to take the

The responsibility for the alleged sale Of
Federal offices in Pennsylvania finally
rests on President Mckinley. The local
heelers and sub-bosses sell the offices; the

in regard to his action:

followers are held together simply by the
cohesion of the spoils SO freely bestowed

rupting men, degrading politics and de-
featiDg the popular will on election day

Acting Governor Voorhees, is still shak-
ing the Gubernatorial plum tree, as Quay
puts it, for $50 day, notwithstanding the
fact that his resignation has been posted
all along the line for two weeks In their
last weeks issues the Republican organs
all prophesied his resignation, and the did
ringer down the street said -" He would
have been candidate with string to him

by exhibits his confidence in his own cleo
ton, and that he wants to deal openly and
fairly with the people,
But he hasn't resigned. hence is candi-
date with string tied to him, who has no
faith in his own election, and does not pro-
pose to deal fairly with the people the lit
tie time he is in office. In addition to the
above self-imposed indictment, the Trenton
correspondent of the Record sheds some
ght on the situation. 1t says
There is a good deal of speculation
among Democrats and Republicans as to
the reason Governor Voorhees, is withhold
ing his resignation. IL was generally
believed that he would resign yesterday :,
but he didn't, nor did he tell why He
was expected to be at the State House to-
day. Tuesday being Governors day, but he
did not appear, and he is not expected I'M
ill next week. A State House employe
who is very close to Voorhees, volunteered
the information that the Governor had
decided not to resign until he had made
the appointment to fill the vacancy on the
Fish and Game Commission created by the
resignation OF George L. Smith, who has
been appointed Collector of the Port of
Newark. 1t is understood that there is
strong effort to secure the appointment
for South Jersey man, and Voorhees, is
not disposed to let the opportunity to fill
the vrcauey pass to Speaker Watkins, who,
being a resident OF the southern part of the
State might pick out South jersey man
for the place. There is also deputy fac
tory inspector to be appointed.
Voorhees, friends say that there is a case
before the Court of Pardons in which he is
interested, and that he will not resign until
he is assured that the influence that he
would WELD in connection with this case
will be used by his successor.
Exalted reasons those, yet in harmony
with Republican ideas of craftsmanship A
game warden, factory inspector and a
pardon case-and $50 day.

The most steady and virulent opponents
of equal taxation are Boss Sewell and his
railroad lobby.
Just as it opposed the assertion of the
States power to tax its railroads, and just
as it denied the States right to impose the
present tax of one-half per cent jnet so it
now opposes the proposition that railroad
property should be assessed and taxed in
the same way and at the same rate as the
property of the farmer or the merchant or
the manufacturer.
Two years ago the question of equal
taxation was brought before the Legisla-
ture, and Sewell and his congeners flied
the legislative halls with hired lawyers,
paid to argue against the principle, and
hired lobbyists, paid to bride members to
vote against the bills.
The bill was defeated-and defeated
with the help of Foster M. Voorhees,.
Last month Boss SeweIl announced to
the Republican party that Voorhees, suited
him as Gubernatorial candidate, and
Voorhees, was nominated.
His election means the further postpone
ment and fnal defeat of equal taxation.
If the railroad property within the State
were assimilated with the other property
for the purpose of taxation, the public
burdens of the people would be reduced at
least 20 per cent, and every mans tax bill
would be cut down one filth.
Why this has not been done can only be
told by those who can give an explanation
oil, the control of the Legislature by the
railroad lobby.
1t is cheaper for the railroads to pick our
Governors and legislators and to help elect
them, and maintain a lobby and bride
them, than it would be to pay proper tax
on the 1920. 100000 of property in the
possession and control of which the State
protects them.
1t would be much more profitable tor the
people to elect men whose selection is not
dictated by the railroads and who are not
likely to be mere dumb registers of the
railroad will and pleasure.
The people of New Jersey have great
interests in the proper solution of this
question, and they have the power to solve
it conclusively.
Candidate Crane has accepted the deela-
ration of the Convention which nominated
him in favor of equal taxation.
Candidate Voorhees, has forced back the
bushes which threatened to mantle his
noble brow when he assumed the dignity
of the Sewell collar and the degradation of
the Sewell approval, and has accepted in
silence the Sewell order to kill equal
taxation whenever it rises its head.

Thrown From n Train by the Depu-
ties, and May Die.
Springfield, Ills, Oct 13.-The special
train on the Chicago and Alton, which
brought the Alabama negroes from Vir-
den, had eight wounded men-all depu-
ties except one. who was a colored
miner-who were taken to the Spring
field city hospital. Of these one man
died last night, William w. Carroll, a
deputy sheriff. He was shot three times,
one bullet passing through his neck
from the right side, another passed
into the temple on the right side, and
the third entering the brain over the
eye, crushing the skull.
John M. Hunter, of Pontiac, the presi-
dent of the Illinois district of the Uni
ted Mine Workers of America, lies at
the Collins House in critical sondi-
ton.
Mr.. Hunter got on the train which
bore the colored miners to this city and
engaged in conversation with two col
ored miners. Some of the deputy sher-
ifs saw Hunter, and when the train
was between North Grand avenue and
the north shaft, and was going at the
rate of Is miles an hour, it is esti-
mated, the deputies attacked Hunter
and pushed him off the train. A man
who happened along later in a buggy
saw Hunter lying near the track in an
unconscious condition, placed him in
his buggy and took him to the Col
Inns House, where a physician dressed
his wounds. He is terribly cut ABOUT
the face and his ribs are injured. He
is still unconscious.

places or the strikers SUPERINTENDENT
Lukens, who was with the sheriff at
the time the request was made by tele-
phone for the militia said that the
company proposed to operate it's mines
In its own way. and that they ex-
pected to import labor. both white and
colored, from the southern states.
The governor told him that the best
class of miners got employment at
home and only the criminal class would
come, men who would soon quit work
and get into the poorhouses, jails and
penitentiaries and become a burden
on the taxpayers of the state-that he
was opposed to the system-that while
there was no law to keep them out of
Illinois, he did not feel it to be his
duty as governor to use the arm of the
state to give protection to mine owners
in operating their mines with this class
of employees. Lukens, according to
Governor Tanner, replied that the
mines would be run at all hazards-that
the company would employ such labor
as they saw fit-that they would inn
port this labor. and operate the mines
with it, even if they had to do it at
the point of the bayonet and the muzzfe
of the Winchester. No troops were
sent.
The next day Mr.. Loucks notified the
governor that his mines would be
operated and demanded the protee-
ton of the state. The matter had been
brought before the state board of ar
bitration, and that board decided in
favor of the miners. but also held that
an injustice had been done the Chicago
Virden company.
From this point the trouble has been
a dispute between Governor Tanner
and the mine operators, carried on by
telegraph and other communications.
The governor steadily refused to call
out the state troops, and charged the
operators with importing ex-convicts
and an undesirable class of workmen.
The operators declared that the men
they desired to bring to their mines
had been chosen for their ability and
their capacity to become good citizens.
Manager Lukens said last night:
"The blood of every man shed at Vir-
den is on the governors head Most
of the strikers were ignorant enough to
believe that they had a right to do as
the governor said they had. His state
ment that the miners had the same
right to fight for his property, which
to protect his property, inspired these
men to the action which they took in
firing on the train"
