The Venezuelan authorities have taken
note Of the presence in New York OF sew
eral of the prominent adherents Of those
who have sought to arouse armed resist

Venezuela. Thus far, however. no official
action has been taken. except to keep ad-

The Venezuelan consul general at New
York reports that they are mainly young
men, and he does not attach serious i'm

Rumor in Pittsburg That President
Shaffer is Dissatisfied.
CONFERENCE With LIEUTENANTS
Joint Meeting Again Today With
the Mill Proprietors.
NO CONCLUSION REACHED

PITTSBURG, Pa, July 12-when the
conference between the Amalgamated AS
ISOLATION executive board and officials Of
the American Steel Sheet, Steel Hoop and
Tin Plate Companies, to settle the existing
strike. was resumed today the situation
apparently had not changed from yester-
day morning, although both sides appeared
hopeful of ultimately reaching settle
ment. Nothing could be learned from the
conferees. however. as an agreement was
made not to give out anything for publi-
cation until after the final adjournment.
Gossip on the ouside indicates confidence
that the trouble will not be allowed to
continue much longer, but that concessions
on both sides will be necessary to a settle
ment this week. Previous to the opening
of the joint conference the executive COM
mittee Of the Amalgamated Association
met and discussed the course to be pur-
sued at today's meeting
The conference adjourned for lunch at
noon. The morning session, 1t is said was
taken up entirely by the arguments of the
manufacturers and the main issues of the
conference remained untouched.
Shaffer Would Not Talk.
President Shaffer said nothing definite
had been DONE and refused to talk further,
Judge Gary did not put in an appearance
dl the fotel Lincoln during the morning,
put was looked for in the afternoon. He
was seen in Pittsburg early today, but
could not be found at the hotels or clubs.
The report Of his presence in the city
caused futter Of excitement among the
scale conferees, and it was conjectured
that II he was still in the city he would
appear at the conference some time during
the day. Among other matters being CON
sidered at the conference is what is called
the non-fnterruptive' clause in the new
scale The clause was accepted by the
Republic Iron and Steel Company and the
American Tin Plate Company when their
concerns signed the Amagamated Associa-
ton scale, but it was contingent upon its
acceptance by the American Sheet Steel
Company and the American Steel Hoop
Company.

The Chronicle-Telegraph says:
AT the meeting Of the Amalgamated
board preceding the general conference 1t
Is reported that President T. J. Shaffer
made vigorous speech to the members of
the board, in which he objected to the de-

should have been taken on July 1, and said
that the association had temporized too
long with the delinquent companies. From

Party Politics.
For the Democratic Advocate.

As the time is not far distant when our
citizens will elect men to the various offices, 1t
becomes necessary to make the best selection
possible, In the first place want to state 1t
is pretty hard matter TO steer clear OF the
evils of party politics. Because of the imper-
fecfious and selfishness ofour natures, it seems
to be necessary that the people should be dl-
yided into parties, that they may act as sentl-
nels on each others conduct. This puts each
party on its good behavior, for it knows IN
advance that its acts and measures must go
through the ordeal ofsevere criticism.
Where there is any consciousness. upright
ness or virtue, it shrinks from an exposure OF
wrong and the advocacy of false and unsound
measures. While there are reckless ones In
all parties, who are utterly Indifferent as to
the results of the measures they advocate, yet
the mass of the people has some moral sense
of what is right and the duty of maintaining
it. But there are some evils growing out OF
party politics which ought to be avoided.
The scrambling for and the wrangling over
Office is disgraceful How often has this hap
pened in good old Carroll county? | want to
say the man who is qualified for his office and
faithful in the discharge of his duties ought to
remain undisiurbed at his post, though there
be change of administration. A more com
petent and just person could not fill the posi-
ton of Comptroller of Maryland than the
present incumbent Retain him, and. the
people of Maryland would congratulate the
voters for their noble efforts in rejecting the
present efficient fnancier. If the parties
would fairly and dspassionately crlticise each
others acts and. keep a vigilant eye on each
others conduct for the pursose of exposing
the wrong and approving the right, then the
existence of the parties would be for good.

Widows Pensions.
From the Boston Herald.

The statement made that at the present time
there are, in round numbers, million pen
sioners on the pension rolls of the United
States, all but a small number of these draw
ing aid as the outcome of our Civil War, makes
it too evident to need argument that large
number of these recipients of public fayors are
entirely undeserving of the aid they receive.
Among this undeserving class we are inclined
to number quite large section of those who
draw pensions as soldiers widows. We should
not, of course, include in the list of those who
are thus unwarrantably receiving public aid
the widows of those who lost their lives in the
Civil War or the widows of those who were
physically incapacitated by sickness endured
or wounds received during that struggle But
the experience of the Revolutionary War, the
War of 1912 and the Mexican War has I'M
questionably been repeated and enlarged in
the case of the veterans of the Civil War.
Extremely old, sick and disabled veterans of
the Revolutionary War who happened not to
have wives were looked upon as highly de-
sirious husbands by women hardly out of their
teens. A marriage of this kind with an octo-
genaran, which under ordinary conditions
would be quickly followed by his death, was
equivalent to lifelong pension to the woman
who became his wife. 1t was species of So
cial speculation, by which an assured none
tary return was obtained in exchange for a
short term of possible personal discontinue.
1t seem incredible, but we are still paying pen
sions to the widows of Revolutionary War
veterans. To all intents and purposes, this
constituted fraud on the Government, for it
certainly was never the intention fthe pension
system to give to young women annuities under
conditions such as have been suggested. We
imagine that not few OF those now drawing
pensions receive them under conditions analo-
gons to those which we have referred, and
that, as time goes on, the number of these pen
sions will both actually and relatively increase.
