These are common items of
State history, which every in
telligent person knows to be
true, and which every person
not controlled by insane party
prejudice is bound to admit as
the truth. The history of the
Republican party in this State
is duplicate of it's national
record. AS a party it is utter
ly devoid of the genius for GOV
ernment; it knows no science or
scheme of government except
that of Plutocratic force and
seltish protection of the over
rich element. 1t has no sym
pathy for the common people,
and does not recognize them ii

over and above all, as party
it is grossly and criminally dis

Office he will leave a clean slate
for his successor, with no old

meeting of the Fund Commits
sionerS has been called for this
month. for the purpose of au-
thorizing the payment of ST.

and the money is on hand with
which to make the payment.
This will leave S2,000,000 still

Twenty-seven years ago when
the Republican party retired
(much against its wilD from its
gross mismanagement Of the
States affairs. it bequeathed to
the incoming Democracy Il debt

part of which was fraudulent,
representing a harvest Of official
corruption and thievery. 1t
also left Il tax rate of 45 cents
on the 500, which the Demo
Gratis have since reduced to 90
cents. The public school funds
were in condition of almost

What Superintendent Loomis Says
of the Rumors.

The latest story regarding a con-
tempIated sale of land of the Lac<a-
wanna Railroad company is that the
Diamond Flats land facing on Provi-
denCe road is about TO be sold to 4
number of moneyed men of the city.
superintendent LOomis, of tha cCaI
and real estate department of the
company when interviewed by Trib-
unc man yesterday on the matter,
made the appended statement:
We are not in the real estate busi-
ness. Shortly after assuming my Of
fee as you will remember / annOunc-
ed that all surface land of the COM
pany was for sale. Immediately there
was great influx of men to see me
who We're anxious to make money in
real estate. Then, and since. / have
frankly told everyone interested that
they must send in bids for the land
desired, and | reserved the right to
reject any and all bids. I have sew
eral bids for the Diamond Flats tract.

That | am not prepared to say to-
day, However if I receive an offer
for any land of the company, that in
my opinion is just price, a sale will

The situation of the strike yesterday
remained practically unchanged. The
striking carpenters report that they
are daily figuring on number of jobs
which have been offered them. The
only difficulty that they experience is
the lack of capital.
An instance of this was apparent
on Saturday when one of the small
contractors who signed the Building
Trades council scale was obliged to
give up the erection of a dwelling he
had on hand because the men en-
plOyed refused to work any longer un-
til their wages were paid. This the
contractor, not having the funds, was
unable to do.
The greatest difficulty now being eX-
perienced by the strike leaders is the
keeping in line of the men who went
out on sympathy, the bricklayers,
stone masons etc OF the 700 carpen-
ters for whom these men went out on
sympathy about 45O are now at work
in this city and other places.
1t is still the intention of the strike
leaders to continue the strike through
out the winter if necessary, but the
members of the exchange regard this
plan as folly. They say that if such a
course is pursued that men can easily
be procured during the dull winter
months, so that when spring arrives
they will be fully prepared to go on,
The Shopland building on Lackawan-
ma avenue is progressing rapidly and
number of carpenters We're at work
yesterday on the wood work. This
work is being done by a member of
the exchange and it can easily be seen
that all the men required are at work.
Several of the contractors who have
signed the agreement of the council
are purchasing lumber from members
of the exchange and this action is
being apparently overlooked by those
in charge.
The press committee of the council
told a Tribune man yesterday that the
union timers who returned 10 work
on Monday were all induced to quit
yesterday. This was emphatically de-
MED by Mr.. Gunster. of Gunster &
Forsyth, who said that the three union
timers employed by them did not quit
and that the men working for other
firms did not stop work either.
a delegation from the stone cutters
union was in Nicholson yesterday af-
ternoon endeavoring to get the stone
cutters employed in a yard there to
join the local union or form one them
selves. Should they refuse to do either
the stone cutters affirm that steps will
be taken to prevent stone coming from
that yard to be used in this city.

Mr.. Fowler Has Resigned.

j. w. Fowler. who has been in the
employ of the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western company for the past
forty-one years, resigned his position
yesterday. When William +. Hall
stead became general manager of the
road he selected Mr.. Fowler for his
chief clerk, which position he held un-
til now.
The resignation of Mr.. Hallstead. the
abandoning of his office and newly
created office of general superintendent
which Mr. Russell holds necessitated
the doing away with Mr.. Fowlers pos
ition. This fact he was fully cognizant
of and when all his work was closed
up he rendered his resignation.
Mr.. Fowler, however, is wanted by
the Lackawanna company judging
from the statement of a high official
of the company to a Tribune man yes
terday. The gentleman referred to
said:
MIR. Fowler is an able man and par
ticularly in railroad matters. Mr..
Hallstead reSigning and the induction
into new offices of new men who
brought with them their chief clerks
and secretaries necessitated Mr.. Fow-
ler's position being done away with
While | cannot say just now with a
degree of certainty that Mr.. Fowler
will be retained by the company
have good reasons to believe such ac-
tiOn will be taken"
ID. j. Whiteford, who was under Mr.
Fowler, has resigned also.

refused to go down the shaft and the
outside hands to their accustomed

To the officials some time ago. An
answer was expected not later than
yesterday morning.
The demand Of the miners was for 81
a car. an advance of cents. Those
engaged in loading the cars ON the out
side demanded the uniform wage Of
Sl4O day, instead of $l,l5 and $l.25
A committee waited upon w. ID.

mitted their demand and were in
formed that what they asked could not
be allowed. When this was reported

There are fourteen usually EN-

matter will probably be adjusted
when presented to superintendent

Thrty-six miners are effected in
the Cayuga shaft by the change, but
none of them are thrown out OF vm-
