OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
A POPULAR REVOLT.


A POPULAR REVOLT.
Two notable contributions to the lit
crature of the present campaign in Penn
sylvania were the appeal to Republican
voters by the Republican Union Exec
utive committee, publi,hcd on Saturday,
and the address of eX Postmaster Gen
eral Wanamaker, made on the same day
at Conshocken, Montgomery county.
Mr.. Wanamaker and the Bourse COM
mittee have an object in common, the
publication of party politics and the
redemption Of the commonwealth from
the blight of Quayism. The committee
declares, with truth and force, that the
single purpose Of the existence of pollt-
ical party is the attainment OF good gov
eminent. and that the welfare of any
party necessarily is secondary in import
ance to that of the nation for which it
processes to act. Any party which, en-
trusted with power, employs its energies
not for the public good, but for the
oppression of the people and for the
corrupt aggraudi2emcnt of individuals,
il guilty Of treason, and richly deserves
to be stripped of its authority and driven
GU, of office.
Ii admits of uo denial that the machine
i'm control Of the Republican party or
ganizatiou in Pennsylvania is obedient
to the will of one man, and exercises its
functions to promote scandalous legisla-
tion and To- stine all attempt. at reform.
The Republican voters 10 this state are
largely ia the majority. They favor
honest and economical government; they
oppose corrupt and sinister methods in
politics: having abiding faith in RepUb-
lican principles. they demand that these
PRINCIPLES. so far as they may be apple
able to state affairs. shall be observed
and maintained by the lawmakers and
those entrusted with the execution Of the
laws. As the Bourse committee says,
the most l0yal Republican is he who
would have his party. while in Office. feel
the weight of most solemn obligation
TO deal with the public moneys with
absolute honesty and integrity. and to
reroguil the fact that tho people are
entitled o. tho most efficient service in
the public Offices.
The Infamous record of the last leg
isatulc Iumilmtiug a- it is 90 all Of
our citizens. Is especially reprOach To
the Reuublilau party, because the great
majority Of Che legislators were elected
as Republicans aud by the votes of
Republicans For two years the state
conventions of that party had made the
most solemn declarations of sweeping
reforms. but from the opening session
of the legislature until adjournment
happily ended its capacity for faithless-
ness no serious effort was made to
redeem the promises of the platform.
Measures proposed by the friends of
good government, the necessity for
which was conceded by all, were given
scant courtesy, and the energies of the
machine were concentrated upon the
adoption of schemes of prohigacy and
the execution of the orders of the master
machinst for the strengthening of his
own power and influence. But for the

In tocD ! am convinced, from all the
surrounding circumstances, that no
other agency could have caused it,
Ia direct contradiction of the asser-
lions of the Secretary of the Spanish
Legation at Washington and of Gen.
Weyler that there are no submarine
mines in Havana Harbor, absolutely
affirm that shipped the above mines
for Havana and Ferrol on a Spanish
ship the property of the Spanish Gov
eminent, and differed by Spanish nav
al officers, with two captains, at the
West India dock, London.
My mines are in electrical connec-
ton with the shore, and it is quite i'm
possible that they could be exploded
except by design.
| am convinced also that the eXplo-
sion of the mine which destroyed the
Maine was the work of one or two
men, for these reasons:
First-A vessel swinging, either an
chored or mOored, upon striking the
circuit closer case would merely drop
a shutter on the keyboard on shore,
warning the officer in charge that she
was in contact with the mine.
Second-BefOre the officer is in a
position to fire the mine he must OBJ
tain one of two keys. One generally
is kept by the commandant, the other
by the officer in charge of the firing
station. lie then must unlock the
glass door over which the shutter has
fallen and insert a red danger plug in
the insulated switch.
Third-He must insert plug in the
switch of the firing battery earth plate
Fourth-The firing key is arranged
with a locking armature of ebonite
h.ch must be unlocked before the
danger point is arrived at.
Fifth The firing key hammer mast
le pressed On to the contact anvil to
complete the circuit that explodes the
detcnator, by which the mine in turn
$ exploded
have not the slightest hesitation in
saying that the Maine was deliberately
destroyed with IA 500-pound ground
mine as invented and supplied by me.
the first explosion was external. Thi.
is established on the following
grounds.
The forward magazine contained .
500 pounds of gunpowder, which might
blow ND the decks, but it is probemat-
ic3l whether it would be capable OF
igniting the $500 pounds of powder
I'm the middle magazine. Even if it die
the explosion OF both would be quite
Incapable Of decorating the $500
pounds of wet guncotton in the after
magazine. Had that quantity of gun.
cotton been detonated not a vestige o.
the Maine would remain.
The only practical way of discover
ing the mine that sunk the Maine i.
by undermining the cable from the
shore to the junction box and from
thence undermining each individual
cable to the mine, until one was founC
without mine attached.
l am satisfied that the explosion
was caused by a ground mine-not b,
a buoyant mine-for Havana harbor il
to shallow to admit of the use of tn,
! latter.
| am prepared TO satisfy by demon
ation any jury of reasonable mel
that this is the true explanation of tn,
| Maine.

Efforts 10 adjust.

Augusta, @a., November 2l.-Af-
ter threatening for somo days, the
mill trouble eliminated in an indi.
vidual walk-out today. Over 5000
employees are idle, three Of the larg.
est mills and one of tho smaller be.
ing included in the trouble. They
are the King mill, 10000 spindles,
l,OS5 hands; sibley, with 900 hands
and 40,25o splndles; Enterprise,
$4,000 spindles, 500 hands; Isaetta,
1868 spindlcs, 1O5 hands.
The affair is styled an "individual
walk-out," while it is in reality a
strike. The trouble began about
a month ago, when tho South
ern Manufacturers Association an
nounced that in order to meet com
petition it was necessary to make a
reduction Of from 8 to l3 per cent
in all branches of tho mill industry.
When the scale of reduction was
posted up, it was found that it
started with, in some cases below
the section hands, none above being
cut. Straightway the operatives be
gan organization under the direction
of the local representatives of the
Federation Of Labor. :,
Saturday the merchants of the city,
with but two exceptions, presented
10 Mr.. Charles Estes, president of
the association, petition asking that
no present reduction be made, Us it
would precipitate strike. The Pc
tition was received as information.
The walk out started this morning
in the weaving department Of the
Sibley, operatives joining from the
King. The strikers then went over
to the Enterprise and were joined by
tho workers there.
q" A" mass meeting was held this
afternoon, speeches being made by
several operatives and Hon, Patrick
Walsh, mayor of the city. Upon his
Suggestion, committee Of i've was
appointed to wait on the mil own.
ers to see what could be adjusted.
This co confeffeuoo will take place 90
morrow morning at 1890. Mean
while there is grim determination on
both sides. There has been no dis
turbanco Of any kind, though the

Tho race war in North Carolina
resulting in murder is deeply TO be

tional administration to send troops
into the State, ostenslbly to preserve
tho peace, and, while on first flush
one cannot SEQ under what authority
Of law troops Of the nation would
thus be employed, since the crime
committed is amenable to State stat
utes and State authority is adequate
to meet the situation, yet if it be
deemed polite thus to employ the
federal arm excuse will be found
therefor
1t is easy for the Caucasian Of tho
North, especially if he is Ropubli-
can, to condemn tho attitude of
Southern Caucasians in their deter
m'nation not to admit negro domi.
nance. at the North there il no

cover that people who readily con
domn Caucasians OF the South are

happiness as any other citizen Of the
republic. We have just hold elcc.
tions in the North and we need 90
nc. further than Cook County to find
that no representative Of the negro
race is chosen to an Office. We do
not find in national affairs that tho
President has invited single negro
to his cabinet nor appointed negroes
north Of Mason and Dixon's line to
federal Offices.
Murder cannot be excused and

Carolina who resent negro domi-
nance because negroes have superior
numbers and equal citizenship take
their cues doubtless from Caucaslans
OF the country at large, who consider
themselves fully authorized com.
ploteiy to dominate native inferior

l.ito'nry Notes.
From TIE S. S. Mcclure Co., NEw
YORK.

In tho December number of Nc
CIuro's Magazine, Captain Muhun
will begin Il series of articles on the
naval operations in tho recent war.
These articles cannot fail to be Of
great interest. In the history and
theory of naval warfare, Captain
Mahan is acknowledged tho world
ovor as abont tho hightost living au-
thority; and as he was ono Of tho
members Of the Board of Strategy
which largely devised and directed
tho naval movements in tho recent
war, he will write in these articles
from quite exceptional information.
A now serial by Rudyard Kipling,
entitled "Stalky ~ Co.," is to begin
in tho December number Of McCluro's
Magazine. 1t is a series of stories
Of schoolboy life Introducing tho
characters "Stalky," Beetle, and Nc
Turk, whom Mr.. Kipling has already
employed with fine effect in two
earlier stories. Each story is COM
plcto in itself; but tho continuation
Of the samo characters and scenes
through the series gives it connect
od interest
Some stories from tho experience
OF famous hunter, in hunting tigers
or elephants; some stories from the
exporionco of n telegraph operator
and train dispatcher; and story of
the mon Of tho Government secret
service, will give good relish of ad-
venture to tho December number of
McCluro's Magazine.
Tho December McCluro's will con-
tain the first of Miss Ida M. Tarbelps
series Of articles on the "Later Life
Of Lincoln" For these articles Miss
Tnrboll has secured such wealth of
now material that thoy promise to
bo as much of a new revelation of
the man Lincoln rs hnr articles on
Lincoln's "Early Lifo" were; and as
really new matter regarding Lincoln
mover fails to be interesting, the arti
clcs arc sure of a wide reading.
The December number of Nc
Cluro's Magazine will have two
! Christmas stories, one of thom with

recently in tho Holy Land expressly
for the Christmas number of tho
