Man WITH THE PITCHFORK
1NDoRsEs SOUTHERN LYNCHINGs
Large Audience at Marinette, Wis,
Appl0uds the Sentiments of
Senator TilIman.

Marinette, Wis, Aug. 5.-United States
Senator Benjamin F. Tillman of South
Carolina addressed a large audience on
the race question from a southern stand
point. One OF the features of his re-
marks was plea in justification Of lynch
ing.
In Wisconsin you have 5000 black
men, he said. "Why don't you try the
bleaching process, and exterminate them
by inter-marrying? The idea is repugnant
to you. In South Carolina we have 750, COO
blacks and 550,0OO whites.
The carpet-baggers, the niger and
the southern scalawags and scoundrelG
ruled us after the war until they had
stolen everything that there was in the
state; then we went with our shotguns
to the polls and took it away from them.
All men are not created equal, and the
'niggers' are not fit to vote. Come what
may, the white people of the south will
govern their own country"
Mr.. Tillman made an eloquent plea in
justification of lynching, saying that
southern women. could not be brought into
court to testify to. their shame and degra-
dation before jury for the purpose Of
conVicttng beast. His reference to the
sanctity of the southern household and the
southern women and his remarks on
lynching were heartily applauded.
He closed with an impassioned statement
to the effect that the white people of the
south would remain on top Gin spite of
the devil" and If necessary he and his
brethren were ready to take down their
shotguns again

naval campaign of the Spanish war, is the
possible consequences to Secretary Long
and Admiral Crowninshield, chief Of the
bureau Of navigation.
1t is conceded in Washington that If the
court should find in favor Of Admiral
Schley and exonerate him from the
charges and innuendoes of which he has
been the victim for three years past, Sec
retary Long would be forced to resign and
his successor would find it inconvenient,
il not impossible, to retain Crowninshield
at the head Of the bureau Of navigation.
The secretary and chief of the bureau Of
navigation have been the recognized lead
ers OF the movement against Admiral
Schley. Both have criticized his con-
duct during the war, officially and
privately and are directly responsible for
the charges that have been brought
against him. In a way they have also
been on trial. This phase Of the contro-
versy is attracting much attention in
Washington and is leading to great deal
Of conjecture about the outcome of the
proceedings.
Doubt as to the ability of Admiral
Sampson to attend the sessions of the
court at the national capital is expressed
by naval officers who are familiar with the
state Of his health. He is conceded to be
very sick man, so sick, indeed, that he
may find 1t impossible to make the jour-
ney from Boston to Washington.

APPLYING A PRINCIPLE.

This is not a trust nor a consolidation.
The plant at the present time does not
include the combining of any two or more
houses. 1t is simply the inauguration of
new system, and we think the grocery
trade is ripe for it. The past five years
have not been such as to warrant any big
expectations from grocery profits in the
future under the present expensive plan
Of soliciting business. We have the
manufacturers combinations allowing us
small profit on staples on one side and big
expense, and at times demoralized prizes
on goods which constitute the bulk Of our
trade on the other. The grocer has been
unable to reduce expense to meet the new
conditions. He must alter the SYSTEM
and this is more easily done than you
would suppose. Once this is shown to be
a success, other houses will follow suit
and possibly other lines Of trade.

cussed i'm New York.
New York, Aug. 5.-Upon the cessation
of negotiations with the steel trust, the
officials Of the Amalgamated Association
gave out the following statement:
The officials of the United States Steel cor
poration. instead of resuming negotiations
where they were suspended at the conference
held July IL, IL and 1S, have withdrawn from
the propositions made at that time, and are
now Offering much less than they agreed to
sign for then. The following Is the PROPOSE
ton which the United States Steel corpora
ton gave US to-day as its ultimatum 1t will
be observed that the preamble states simply
that the United States Steel corporation off,
cials will advise settlement by the underlined
companies:
Preamble-Conditions under which we are
willing to advise a settlement of the labor
difficulties:
"Tin Plate company should proceed under
the contract signed with the Amalgamated as
sociation as Of July /, 1901.
American Steel Hoop company should sign
the scale for all the mills owned by the
American Steel Hoop company that were
signed for last year.
American Sheet Steel company should sign
the scale for all the mills of this company
that were signed for last year, except the Old
Meadow mill and the Salisbury mills"
We desire to preface our proposition by di-
recting attention to the fast that it Is q mod
ihcation OF that which was offered originally.

Pittsburg, Aug. 5.-Now that the sus-
pensc induced by the uncertainty of the
outcome in the strike negotiations is over
there is less excitement here than there
was last week and the people are looking
matters squarely in the face.
Everybody is watching President Shat
fer, as 1t is recognized that from him
will emanate the next move in this great
struggle. Speculation Is now rife when he
will issue the order for general strike Of
all Amalgamated men employed in the
mills OF the United States Steel Corpora
tions plants. Although President Shaffer
did not say so to-day, he explained not
long ago that before an order for q strike
was issued circular letter would be sent
out from the general offices to all lodges
Of the organization explaining the situa-
tion, giving complete report of all that
board and the officials of the trust and of
the earnest attempts made by the associa-
tion to bring about an honorable settle
ment and their failure. This circular will
be read in lodge meetings in order that
the men In the mills can have a clear and
comprehensive insight of the entire matter
and act intelligently. With this informa-
tion in their hands, the men will be able
to see that the officers have acted care
fully and with an earnest desire to avoid
an open rupture. The strike order will
then follow and will be taken up without
the least misunderstanding on the part Of
the members.

Still One Hope.

An intimation has been made that there
is still one hope of ending the strike soon,
and that is by the return to work Of the
men at the Painter, Lindsay and Nc
Cutcheon and Clark mills. These mills
were nonunion last year. The men went
out when the strike was ordered. and they
are now members of the Amalgamated
Association. In the efforts to secure an
adjustment Of the strike, however, their
status has been an embarrassing factor.
1t is said that If thirty men in these mills
desire to go to work there will be no OBJ
lection by the association. The imme-
diate effect would be to eliminate them
from consideration of any basis of settle
ment. Such course would leave the
Amalgamated officials in position to ac-
cept Mr.. MorganS terms with honor.
The steel strike, though but begun, is
already being felt in Pittsburg Many
leading business houses have found busi-
ness dropping off SO as to make the re-
moval Of clerks imperative One depart
ment store last Saturday laid off twenty
five girls, and at the same time gave no.
tice that if the strike Is not settled by
next Saturday it would likely be neces-
sary to lay off more. Finances also suf-
fered. On two days last week the clear
ing house reports showed a decrease.
These were the only two days Of the year
whose clearings did not exceed the figures
of the corresponding days last year.
WelIsvil1e Strikers Discouraged.
A WellsvilIe, Ohio, dispatch says the
wholesale arrest Of the participants in the
riot at the home Of Harry Phillips on Sat-
urday has dampened the ardor of the
strikers and If the potters and other labor
organizations would keep their hands off,
it is felt that the troubles, so far as the
Wellsville mill is concerned, would soon
be thing of the past. Seven more mem
bers OF the association deserted this morn
ing and returned to work. There are now
about eighty men at the mill, and 1t is
emphatically stated that five OF the six
mills will be in full operation this after
noon. Engineer Harry Thompson of Pitts
burg, who is in the employ of the mill
company, but who has not been here for
the past three weeks, Is expected back
this afternoon with a reinforcement of
men. The few remaining members of the
Amalgamated Association promise to give
Thompson and his men warm reception,
but in view Of the fact that Ill success has
attended all previous efforts in this re-
spect, 1t is not thought that the men will
be seriously interfered with. Mayor Den
mis- has sworn In an extra lot of police
men, and declares emphatically that all
men who come to town for the purpose of
going to work shall be protected. Says
he: 1--WE are perfectly able to preserve
peace and we mean to do So
Peace Predicted.
About twenty members Of the Amalga-
mated Association left town last night for
other places in hopes Of securing work,
Unless a general strike OF all labor or
ganizations be ordered 1t is safe to pre-
dict that all will be peace and quietness
In Wellsville before the end OF the week.
and the mill will be running full turn
night and day.

Numerous Men Affected.

The various grocery houses in the twin
cities employ about $50 travelling sales
men. If the system of selling agencies
should become general throughout the
northwest it would also affect a large
number of travelling salesmen who sell
special lines of goods to the grocery trade.

Doubt is expressed in some
quarters that the strike will
spread further. 1t is suggested
that the employees Of the Federal
Steel company, National Steel
company and National Tube
company, are at the present time
the strikers main source of rev.
enue, and to call them out would
weaken the association in its
fight by depriving 1T of the funds
necessary to carry on the strug-
gle. Another reason given was
that the Amalgamated associa-
tion, having signed contracts
with all these companies for one
year beginning with July 1, 1901,
would, by violating these con-
tracts, give Mr.. Morgan and his
associates trump cards they
would not hesitate to use to the
best effect.

trade. If successful, it means the entire
elimination of the travelling man as far
as the wholesale grocer is concerned.
Promoters of the new idea believe that
once it is put into successful operation
by one concern others will be obliged to
follow suit 1t is learned that one of
the largest grocery houses in the twin
cities is seriously contemplating putting
the plan in operation.
The scheme has for its foundation tho
placing Of selling agencies in as many of
the towns throughout the northwest as
may be selected. The larger the capital
of the concern the more of these agen-
cies can be establishd. For this reason
it is proposd to enlist a much larger
amount Of capital in the concern than
has ever been employed in any single
grocery enterprise in the northwest. The
plan provides for the establishment Of
large manufacturing plant which will en-
able the wholesale house to manufacture
and own many of its brands. It is figured
that the large number of selling agencies
to be established, thereby insuring
large demand, will enable the concern to
compete with the larger manufacturing en-
terprises in bidding for raw material of
all kinds, which is a difficulty that con-
fronts the manufacturing grocer to-day,
owing to his limited purchases in some
lines. The scheme also includes ex-
tensive advertising plans to make the
goods of the concern familiar to the con-
sumer.
