GLUCOSE HONEY

The analysis of the honey composing
the consignment showed thai il contained
from 30 TO 90 per cent. OF glucose and. as

The consignee had the choice of selling IT
a. a glucose mixture or OF sending IL back.
and he chose the latter course. ut the same
time canceling other orders.
Unlike many of the authorizations which
food the market. the glucose honey is not
regarded as an injurious mixture. and the
pure food commissioners affirm that the

THE KNIGHTS AND THE Fedora
TION.

Those who have noted the growing an
tagonism between the knights of Labor
and the Federation of Labor are not sur
prised at the bitter attack which General
Master Workman Burns made in his report
upon the Federation. Nearly twenty years
ago the Knights OF Labor were a power in
the land, but its growth was so rapid that
its decline in a few years was a natural
consequence. particularly when oficeseek-
ers began to use il for their personal add
vantage. 1t was weakened by bitter fac
tional dissensions and rapidly declined
when Mr.. Powderly retired from the lead
ership. He was succeeded by radical men
like Mr.. Sovereign, under whose control
the organization forfeited popular conf
dence. Its recent leaders have always
taken the indefensible side OF most eco
nomic questions, such as the free and UNI
limited coinage of silver. The Federation
did the same thing until a few years ago,
but it is due the organization to say that its
efforts in recent years have been directed
to the elimination of the element which
would use it TO promote personal ends in
politics.
General Master Workman Burns is evil
IDENTIFY a better man than some of his i'm
mediate predecessors, who were hot-headed
agitators, constantly seeking to array la
Dor against capital. Mr.. Burns is evidently
a more reasonable man. Still, when it
comes to a conflict between the Federation
and the knights the former, as a conserva-
tive, steadily growing organization, is far
the better. It's attitude in regard to several
proposed or actual strikes has on several
occasions prevented disastrous conse-
quences. If President Gompers and his as
sociates had listened to the appeal of Pres
ident Shaffer, of the Amalgamated Steel
Workers, they would nave ordered a gen.
eraI strike which would have paralyzed the
business Of the country, closing factories,
stopping the running of railroads and
forcing hundreds of thousands of peo-
pie into idleness. 1t probably required

hand, is 10 be commended from an eco
nOnic point of view for the ground he

THOMPSON BROUGHT HOME.

and He VIII Sue for Damages.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
MUNCIE, Ind, Nov. 15.-Patrolman
Thomas Larmore returned home to-day
from Lawton, o. T., in charge Of William
/. Thompson, charged with implicitly in
the recent robbing of Miss Sarah L. Will
liams of almost $1,000 by Charles Hawkins.
The officer went West expecting TO bring
Hawkins back also, but he made his es-
cape.
Thompson was taken to the police sta
ton, where the papers were shown and
the charge proved TO be of obtaining money
under false pretenses and grand larceny.
the same charge as that made against
Hawkins by Miss Williams. Thompson
denies the charges and furnished 5000
bond, with Thomas Starr and Harry NJ.
Finlay as sureties. He claims that bring
ing him home under arrest will cost his
claim, which was seized the day he left
by a lawyer. He will bring suit for dam
ages. Inc officer claims that Hawkins
was at Lawton just before he arrived, but
that a telegram from Muncie notified him,
and he left.

The Democratic election officers in Mary
land threw out 2O.OOO ballots. mainly Re
publican. Evidence will be carefully col
iected TO prove that such frauds insured a
German majority in the Legislature. The
Republicans will contest several seats in
the Legislature. but their plan is to have
a candidate for United States senator who
will contest election before the
Senate and there establish the commission
OF the frauds by which his election was
secured. A Republican Senate expelled a
Republican senator upon evidences OF
bribery. which is a sufficient precedent for
rejecting the credentials of a senator upon
evidence that his election was secured b.
fraud.

MR. BRYAN y THE DURBIN-BECK-
HAN INCIDENT.

Mr.. Bryan's article on the Durbin-Beck
ham incident is characteristic of him in
its adroit Misrepresentation of facts and
its wrong conclusions. other persons have
discussed the incident on legal or consti-
tutional grounds and in its relation TO the
administration Of justice. Mr.. Bryan treats
il from the standpoint of partisan politics
alone. Assuming that Governor Taylor
was a party 10 what he calls a political
conspiracy 10 kill GOebcl. he says: Since
ne Taylor became a fugitive from JUS
tice the Republican party has been MAX
ing a hero Of him." Whatever recogni-
ton Mr.. Taylor has had from Republicans
has been because they believe he was fair
~ elected Governor OF Kentucky and dis
honestly counted out. as thousands Of an
ti-Gochel Democrats in Kentucky believe
to-day. There j. not a Republican in In
diana who does not regard the murder OF
Goebel as an at-ocious crime. for which
the perpetrator. If he could be found.
should receive merited Punishment, but
they no more believe that Governor Tay-
lor was a party 10 the crime than they
would have believed that Goebol was a
party to the murder of Taylor, had the
latter been killed. Men of their class
sometimes kill their enemies. i'm street af-
trays. as Goebel had killed one man. but
they do not enter into cOnspiracies to muir
der. Probably some excited and passion
ate Republican killed GoebeI. and it is
greatly to be regretted that he could not
have been captured and punished, but no
sane person outside Of Kentucky believes
that Governor Taylor had anything to
do with the murder. For that reason, and
because Republicans do not believe he
could nave a fair trial in Judge Can
trinrs court. Republicans are glad the Gov
ornor of Indiana refused to surrender him.
Mr.. Bryan says:
If a Republican cannot be tried IN a
Democratic State, will the Republicans in
sist that a Democrat could have a fair
trial in a Republican State? If the rea-
sons presented by Governor Durbln are
sound. then il is perfectly SAT for "A Re
publican to kill any Democratic executive
and flee TO a Republican State. and If
Democratic Governors act upon the same
principle il is safe FOR Il Democrat to kill
a Republican official and then flee TO "A
Democratic State.
Who has said that a Republican cannot
be tried in a Democratic State or a Dem
ocrat in a Republican State? This is one
of Mr.. Bryan's illogical conclusions. The
thing happens every day. Mr.. Bryan pur-
posely ignores the difference between nor
NAL conditions and those which make a
fair trial impossible. If the time ever
comes i'm this State that a Republican
judge. a Republican prosecutor and .
packed jury of Republicans undertake to
trample down justice and railroad a Dem
ocrat TO the penitentiary or the gallows
on a false charge and perjured testimony,
let him hasten to Kentucky and demand
the protection of a Democratic Governor.
He would be sure to get it, and all fair
minded Republicans would say he de-
served il.

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-The Gathmann

a slight indentation on the plate, where
the shell had struck and exploded. The
