SAMPLE FAL SEHOOD EXPOSED
Fusion Flatulcnce that Raised Con-
siderable Ante-ElectiOn
Tempest.

One of the innumerable political fakes OF
the local organ of fusion, which found an
echo all over the state, was the positive as
sertion that large sum Of money had been
sent into the state by Mark Hanna to carry
the election for Judge Reese. The one Incl
dent to which it pointed proof of its as
sertion is pretty effectively disposed of in
the following:
ST. EDWARD, Neb., Nov 4, 1S99.-This
Is to certify that on the 4th day of Novem-
ber. 1899, we, the undersigned, presented to
William Moran the following statement
published in the World-Herald of the Sd
inst, to-wit:
The first direct information of the at
tempted purchase of fusion votes with the
purpose of carrying Nebraska against
Bryan was reported last night by p. S.
Streeter, who travels for Paxton & Gala
CHER, and who had just come in from trip
out in the state. He said he was given the
names of two men by William Moran, at
st. Edward. in Boone county who had been
offered $3.50 and SO, respectively, by a
republican, If they would remain at home
and shuck corn on election day"
And asked him (Moran) If the statement
was true. Moran read the article and said
1t was absolutely false, and that he made
no such statement to E. S. Streeter, or any
statement that could be construed in that
way. r. #. WILLIAMS.

DESERTED CHILD IN DEMAND
Eager Relatives Contend for Infant
Placed in Custody OF the Child
saving Institute.

| Several days ago The Bee published an
item relating to the abandonment of an
| infant at the doorway of the Child-Sav
! institute. The waf was about two weeks
old and was clad in apparel tastily de-
signed and OF good material, indicating that
ii was above the usual class of such un-
fortunates The baby was taken in charge
by the resident workers and given the best
possible care. On the following morning
a handsome carriage drew up in front OF
the institute and two handsomely dressed
women climbed the narrow stairs to the
nursery apartments. They were conducted
to the childrens ward and at once Identified
the tiny wanderer as their brothers child.
They defused to give their names or resi-
donce, but said that they wished TO gain
possession OF the child and would call again
after provision had been made for the little
ones reception.
A few hours later another claimant ap-
peared in the person OF a woman who al
legged that the child had been born to her
daughter. The mother, she said, had died
soon after the childs birth and the un-
feeling father had left it to the custody u
the keeper of the apartments. The woman
In charge had no way to trace the child's
parentage and therefore disposed OF it.
The officials at the institute surrendered
their charge to the last applicant, who re-
moved 1t at once. The first corners called
again to find the baby gone
The nurseries of the institute now contain
a number of children for whom their parents
have been unable or unwilling to provide
and who are given into the charge of re-
spectacle families on application. The chill
drens wards have been newly furnished in
sunny part of the building and are very
comfortably fitted up The general work OF
the institute is being pursued as usual.
There are now over 100 children in the sew
ing class conducted by Miss Huntington and
a servant girls cooking class and mothers
class are expected to be added to the cur
rcuum at once.

prosperity. Among those who appear
as witnesses Is Mr.. j. Polk Brown, pres
ident Of the Agriculture Society OF
Georgia He was the first witness. He
agreed with Mr.. Barrett, who testified
yesterday. that h condition OF agri-
culture in the south was more depress-
ed tina it had ever been. More people
were ploughing ~barefooted and bare
backed than ever before. He agreed
with the late Henry W. Grady. that the
fault was not with the soil, or she eli
mate, nor, as many had claimed. was
it entirely with the tariff. One of The
most prolific causes Of the trouble was
the fact that cotton was practically the
only crop. He dwelt upon the pres
ence of the negro as a special cause of
the want of development. He spoke
plainly and said that he regarded him
ligious, social. and agricultural devel-
opment Of the section, and he felt that
if they were absent a better class of Ia
Dor would take their place. The more
the negro was paid the less efficient he
was a laborer.
In the second days proceedings e
gentleman appeared as witnesses which
were given in the MESSENGER.
Various causes were assigned for the
acknowledged great depression in the
most important farming industry. Mr..
l.. W. Youmans, Of S. c., gave the alb
sence of silver as the real cause of the
great depression in agriculture. The
tariff also was another great obstacle.
He liked negro labor, preferring it to
imported. He said that he employed
300 or 400 negroes, and I find tka- -
cile and willing to work. / go away
and cave my family among them, feel
ing confident of their safety and pro-
lection. He thought, however, that
the negro was, as a rule, irresponsible
to the efforts to educate him."
That is a good character he gives.
We are not farmers and would not
resume to give practical, intelligent
farmers advice or suggest even a solu-
ton. But it strikes us, as it has for
has had a great deal to do with the
prostration of agriculture in the cotton
states. The hungry, gluttonous, ruin

sponsible for any depression there may

Of products is surely better than to risk
all for a year upon any one crop. Some
of the very best results reported come
from a great variety of production. 1t
is not the wisest course to continue to
make five cents cotton when you end
the year in dissatisfaction and with
empty pockets.

Correspondence of The Messenger,

Correspondence of The Messenger.)
Mount Olive, n. c., June 20.
The gloom of sadness was cast upon
the people of Mount Olive last night
when the death of Mrs. Leonard P.
Aaron was announced. She breathed
her last at 1920 O'Clock. She had been
sick for several weeks, but was not
thought to be dangerously ill until
about a week ago, and since that time
she has been lingering between life and
death, until she was relieved by death
last night.
The deceased was a lady Of sterling
character n was a CONSTANT men,
Der of the M. E. church and was e1-
pecially liked by all who knew her, and
she had numerous friends here and else
where, who will be shocked to hear of
her death. She was a daughter of Cap
tain F. M. Fits, of the United States
mail service, whose home is at Oak
vile, N. c. She was only married to
DR.. Aaron in October. 1898.
The interment was made in h Mt.
Olive cemetery this evening at 6 o'clock
in the presence of a large assembly
of relatives and friends. The funeral
services were conducted by the Rev.

All TinpIate Works to Shut Down

Pittsburg, Pa, June 26.-All the tin
plate works in the country will be
closed at midnight on Friday as a re-
suit of the failure to settle the wage
scale at the conference in Chicago.
Fully $4,000 persons will be thrown
idle by the shutdown.
The conference, which closed in Chi.
cago on Tuesday morning, closed Sat
urday evening at. 6 o'clock, without ar
irving at an agreement. The workers
wage committee, acting on instructions
received from the annual convention
held in Detroit last month, made a de-
mand for an advance of 20 per cent.
The present wage scale will expire on
June Goth, and members of the ANAL
gamated association are not permitted
to work after that date, unless the
new scale is signed.
About $4,000 skilled workers are
members of the association and as
many more are dependent upon them
and will be idle while the skilled men
are employed. Nearly rs per cent. of
the tinplate workers of the country are
employed in western Pennsylvania mills.

THE A

TIL q. S. government is rapidly re-
cruiting for a continuance of the war
upon the Filipinos fighting so bravely
for liberty and independence, which
were just what the American forefa-
theirs -"the rebels" the British called
them-fought for with such bravery
in h last century. Captain Nc
Questern, surgeon on the staff of
Gen. Otis, is at San Francisco and sick.
He says it will require fully 1O0,00O men
to end the war. He is reported as say
ing that he is of the opinion that unless
thousands of fresh troops shall be sent
out without delay the territory overrun
will have to be abandoned, and Manila
will be in a state of seige within a few
months. The captain ever ventured
the opinion that an army of 100000
might be needed; for 'Our men simply
cannot stand the climate, and until
thoroughly Injured fifty per cent. of
them will be incapacitated by sickness"
AS showing the spirit of the women
Gen. Otis, as a dispatch Of last week
stated, had received a Letter signed by
native women of the province declaring
that, if all the men were killed, the
women would still keep up the fight
against the Americans. Equally sig
nificant of public sentiment among the
fighting, when a battalion of our army
was attaked by apparently friendly
natives in the rear" Another indica-
ton of the grit and pertinacity of the
natives is the remark of Gen. Lawton,
after the Santa Cruz expedition, that
if the insurgents continued to fight, it
would take one hundred thousand
American forces to pacify the islands.
By this he meant it would be necessary
to leave a garrison in every town we
occupied. The Manila correspondent
of Harper's Weekly says that it looks
year" AS illustrative of the ak
among officials the HEREFORD Comm
Times says this, and it is to the point
and exactly true:
Acknowledgement Griggs has spoken
on our duty towards the Philippines.
and says we stand bound to them as
the responsible sovereign. This is ex-
actly the position that George III, took
toward the American colonies a century
and a quarter ago., and which Spain
occupied towards both the Philippines
and Cuba up to h past year. With
such precedents, Acknowledgement
Grigg will be able to fortify his opinion
in spite of the fact that the United
States attacked Spain for so strenu-
ously UNFOLDING this very doctrine"
