EFFORTS TO EMBROIL Us WITH GER
MANY.

Admiral Dewey promptly labels as
lilies and rubbish" the latest sensa-
tional alleged interview with him in
which he is made to say all sorts of
things about the German government
and the Kaiser and to predict that our
next war will be with Germany.
1t was hardly necessary for the gal
liant Admiral to deny these statements
credited to him. He is far from being
in his dotage and no one but a senile
idiot would make such comments re-
garding friendly power while hold
ing the high official position under the
government that Dewey holds. More
over, the American admiral is on the
best of terms with the German COM
manders he has met
There seems to be an organized effort
in some quarter to bring on collis-
ion between the United States and
Germany. These Misrepresentation of
which the false Dewey interview is a
fair sample, are surprisingly persist
ent and insidious. Every slight fric-
tion between the two countries is

THE BoYCOTT CLEVELAND.

The Cleveland street car strikers are
making much more Roadway through
the agency of the boycott than they
ever could through the use of dyna-
mite, which is losing game for them.
They have brought pressure to bear on
the merchants with somewhat SINH
lar effect to that produced by the same
means in the Wheeling strike.
Tradesmen are warned by represen-
tatives of the labor unions not to pat
ronize the street cars or to sell goods
to non-union men, while people who
ride on the cars are given similar warn
ing that they will be boycotted if in
business or prohibited from buying
goods.
All the cars are closely watched, with
the result that all Cleveland is sur
prised at the effectiveness and extent
of the boycott, which, consequently, is
rapidly growing, for the merchants are
very quick to take alarm at these
threats.
The boycott beats dynamite all to
pieces as a strike weapon. 1t renders
the troops and police useless to the
company and may, if persisted in and
perfected, soon bring the latter to
terms.

4 Brings Success
THE soPHIsTi OF TIN PLATE
TRUST ORGAN

Tin and Terne, the Pittsburg trade
organ of the tinplate trust, devotes a
great deal of its valuable space to a fee
BILE effort to contrOvert the facts set
forth by The Register, namely, that
the tnplate industry had a merely
nominal existence in the United States
until the Wilson bill-which all the
trusts howled at as free trade meas
ure, fraught with disaster-placed pig
tin, the raw material of the industry,
on the free list. This fact is so we'll
established it is wonder a trade pa
per so we'll informed as Tin and Terne
certainly ought to be persists in deny
ing it.
That Tin and Terne knows better is
made fully evident by brief examina-
ton of its effort to becloud the facts
of the case es AT forth by The Regis
ter. 1t gibhis1yay its case by re-
sort to SOD Try. 1t does not meet
the question hairly and honestly, but
attempts to efog it and to deceive the
public. Fors example, referring to The
Registers article on the subject, Tin
and Terne says:
1t denies the existence of the tin plate
industry prior to the reduction IN duty
made the Wilson bill when tn the go govern pte
when the Wilson law became effective
there were produced in this country 30l.-
035,QA pounds of tin and terne plate, and
this is a fact about which there can be
10 question or doubt Whatever
Certainly, there can be no question
or doubt whatever on this point, and
The Register has never disputed the
fact as set forth by this smooth organ
of the trust, which evidently thinks it
can hoodwink the general public by a
confusion of technical terms.
If our contemporary desired to be
fair, why did it not tell -us how much
of what is known by the general pub
lie as tinplate was made in this coun-
try prior to the passage of the Wilson
bill. The Jumping of the production
of ''tin and terne plate before the pas
sage of the Wilson bill is grossly mis-
leading. PROFESSIONALLY, hundreds of
millions of pound of Tin and terne
plate were made before the adoption
of the tariff of 1894, BUT HOW MUCH
OF 1T WAS WHAT is KNOWN To-
DAY AS TINPLATE? Commercially
NONE. Terne plate, heavy roofing
tin, or merely sheet iron coated with a
composition of zinc and lead, have been
made in this country ever since sheet
iron itself was first made. 1t is very
different product from that which Is
known to the public as tinplate.
Every one connected with, or having a
knowledge Of the tinplate industry

grossly magnified and distorted out Of
all semblance of the truth.

all semblance of the truth.
More than once it has been charged
that the source of these falsehoods de-
signed to create bad feeling between
the United States and Germany is to
be found in London Germany is one
of Great Britain's strongest opponents
in European politics and in the Eastern
question, while it is well known that
German-Americans are very hostile to
an Anglo-American alliance, which has
been mooted ever since the administra-
ton launched upon its English policy
of imperialism and conquest, all of
which gives decided color to the accu
sation that the fine diplomatic and
treacherous hand of England is re-
sponsible for these persistent efforts to
embroil the United States and Ger
many in which event the British lion
would use the American arms to help
pull its numerous chestnuts out of the
fire.
The United States and the American
people have no quarrel with Germany.
There is no cause for one In the
Philippines and in Samoa where Ger
man officials have been in the wrong
the German government has been most
prompt and courteous III making repa-
ration and has done so in a conciliatory
manner that is evidence of its good will
towards the United States. Our trade
and blood relations with Germany are
broken.

The foundation for the new Riverside
gas plant is about completed. The.
work of setting up the plants will be
begun soon. A large force of men have
been employed for the work and once
commenced it will progress rapidly.
Yesterday afternoon about 1880
o'clock car No. l on the loop jumped
the track at the Riverside bridge. In
attempting to get it back on again the
car was backed across the tracks in
such a way as to block traffic each way.
The whole system was demoralized for
a period of several hours, and no little
inconvenience was caused to the Ben
wood and Moundsville patrons.

There Is world of hard common
sense and truth in the views of Gov.
Gambler, of Georgia, on the race ques-
ton and conflicts and the remedy there
for. He thinks the present uprisings
largely due to fools and fanatics. He
reviews the history and conditions of
the negroes since before the arrival of
the northern "carpet-bagger, whom he
severely scores, along with the latter
day fools and fanatics" In moral
education he sees a remedy for lynch
ings by first improving the negro. A
qualified suffrage, he says, would give
immediate results.

NORCROss WAS IN TROUBLE
Wrote Letters in His Cell SO Stating
Before Taking Poison.

UNIoNTowN, Pa, Feb. 17-Karl
Norcross, who tried to commit suicide
in jail after being arrested, charged
with trying to kill his young brother,
is still in his cell in Jail suffering from
the attempt on his life. He will only
say that the story told by Hetterman
and Devlin is an attempt to blackmail
him. When the sheriff discovered
Norcross dying in his cell he found
three letters on table, two addressed
to his aunt, Mrs. Ada p. Garrard of
Brownsville, and the other to Miss
Florence B. Messmore of Uniontown.
They are as follows:
"Uniontown, Feb. ID.
''Dear Aunt Ada am in lots OF
trouble tonight, and if / do not get
out you take care of Flo, my dear
girl, and see that she gets along all
right Hoping you will do this, l am
your nephew,
"KARL NoRcROss.
"Dear Aunt Ada-Yo take care of
Flo and give her anything she wants.
See that she has good living. Hop
ing you will do this, KARL"
"My dear Flo-I wrote two letters
to Aunt Ada. She will tell you what
they contained. Hoping she will dc
it for you and you will be a good girl,
yours, sKARL."
The letters were not mailed but
have been turned over to the district
attorney. They indicate that he con-
terminated suicide Miss Messmora ia
a daughter of Policeman Albert G.
Messmore of this town, to whom Nor
cross has been devoted for some time.
Mrs. GarraTd is sister of Norcross'
mother. A date for Norcross' hear
