concern of ALL" If Mr.. Reese is I'M
ion man and practices what he preach
es he will say yes If not he had
better retire now for his unionism will
be tested on this line.
If the masses of miners were not
benefited directly why did the miners
of Kansas, Texas and Indian Territory
express themselves in the following
vote of thanks:
"a vote of thanks is rendered Hon.
John F. Lacey member of congress
from Iowa, for his efforts in behalf of
the miners in the territories
Will Mr.. Reese explain why they did
this?
The Iowa miners state association
also acted upon this question by adopt
ing the following resolution:
Resolved, That we appreciate and
endorse the efforts of Hon. John F.
Lacey in the house of representatives
for introducing Fl. R. 1899, bill for
the protection of the lives Of the min
ers in the territories, and in view of
the fact that the preservation of life is
a duty which one human being owes
to another, we pray congress and the
administration to sustain Mr.. Lacey in
having the bill enacted and placed on
our statute books"
If of no direct benefit. will Mr..
Reese answer why they did this?
The national convention of miners
at Columbus, o., also passed a resolu-
ton of thanks to Major Lacey for his
services in securing the passage of
this bill:
Whereas, Congress has no power to
legislate for the safety or regulations
of the miners in the states, and the
miners in the territories did not have
their interests protected because no
one before has seen fit to champion
their cause, Mr.. Lacey's friendly inter
est and long labors in securing the
passage of this salutary law entities
him to the friendship and commenda-
ton of the miners of the entire United
States"
Will Mr.. Reese explain why they did
this?
Now, Mr.. Reese, to be sincere in
this matter, if you are elected and
given front seat in congress with the
special privilege of speaking whenever
you wanted to, being hopelessly in the
minority, what will you do. anyway?

MARSHALL FOR CONGRESS.
Famous Trap-shooter Will Try for
Election in Illinois.

Tom A. Marshall, than whom prob
ably no other trap-shooter in America
is better known or more universally
popular, was yesterday nominated by
the democrats of the new fourteenth
congressional district of Illinois as
their candidate for honors in the ma
tional house of representatives. TON"
has occupied every political place with
in the gift of the people of keithsburg,
ILL.,, where he has made his home for
several years, and has also served a
term in the state legislature of Hi
nois. He has been mayor of his home
city for SO long that he has forgotten
the sensation caused by being simply
a private citizen.
Mr.. Marshall is one of the busiest
men in the country. Aside from at
tending to his official duties he finds
time to shoot at nearly every tourna-
ment of any note in the country, and
was in attendance at the state shoot
held in Ottumwa this spring. Not on
ly does he shoot but he manages to
make better score than almost any
one else, and twice he has won the
Grand American Handicap, that live
bird event which overtops everything
else in the way of trap-shooting every
year.
Mr.. Marshall has found time during
his busy life to gather together no
mean amount of the root of all evil,
and the part of Keithsburg that he
doesn't own is fast becoming his. He
is recognized among trap-shooters all
over the country and the people in
general as a typical all-round good fell
low, and this fact was proven in one
of many ways when he was made cap.
tain of the American team of trap
shooters which went to England in
1900 and showed the beef-eaters how
to shoot.
The only objection to Mr.. Marshall
is that he is a democrat However,
one fact that shows that he is among
those who may be classed as "possi-
bles" is that he is running on a plat
form which contains no mention of the
Kansas City mistake. In fact, the
convention by which he was nominal
ed refused to sanction this platform
yesterday in spite of an effort which
was made to secure such an act.

out from the center of the trouble 1t
is learned that the trouble was started
by two or three hundred miners who
made an attack upon few policemen,
who We're conducting some of the men
who had been working in the mines
through the picket lines of the strik-
ers. The attacking party was COM
posed almost entirely of foreigners
VINO had been at work in the mines
and had gone out with the trikers.
whether or not they were embers
of the miners organization is not
known. This attack was wholly I'M
warranted as at the time there was
nothing that had been done which gave
the strikers the right to lay violent
hands upon the officers or men whom
they were guarding.
While the parties who were instru-
mental in stirring up the trouble may
have had no intention that it would
result SO seriously to many and be
the cause of taking the life of one of
the men, yet this fact did not give
them right to make the attack.
We firmly believe that the outbreak
was not originated by the prominent
men of the miners organization at
Shenandoah Throughout the strike
the leaders of the mine workers have
universally contended for the strict
observance of the law by the members
of the miners union and whenever
their voices have been raised it has
been for the suppression of lawless>
ness on the part of the miners.
We would much rather believe that
the clash which occurred in Shenan-
doah last Thursday was instigated by
parties who are irresponsible or who
cannot view the conditions as they
really appear, if the blame is to be
fixed at all. than to think that any of
the members of the union who are con-
versant with the affairs of the union
in general and with the phases that
are at present surrounding the strike
question in the east, were in any way
connected with the deplorable affair.
Up until the present time the troops
stationed at Shenandoah have not
found it necessary to enforce the or
der from the headquarters of the
camp, to use ball cartridges in case
any other attacks are made and it is
to be hoped that such a necessity will
not arise During the presence of the
troops in the vicinity of Shenandoah
there is said to have been no action
on the part of the soldiers that would
have a tendency to irritate the inhab-
itants of the place to the extent of JUS
tlfying the attacks that were made
Saturday night. True some arrests
have been made by the provost guard,
but in these cases the prisoners have
been promptly turned over to the civil
authorities.
We believe that the order issued by
General Goblin was intended and
will have the effect upon the inhabi-
tants Of Shenandoah to greatly min
imize the occurrence of such out
breaks as those which occurred recent
ly and will be the most efficient means
of preventing further trouble or loss
of life.

FACTS.

The question of the operation of
mines in the state rests wholly with
the state legislation. Congress has no
power or authority to act. General
Weaver took his cattle guard
screens" through the sixth district
and talked about the rights of the
miners. He never introduced bill OF
any kind in congress in their behalf
OF course he well knew that the ques-
ton of coal screens, ventilating and
management of mines in the states
could not be controlled in any way
in congress under the constitution.
Congress has authority to legislate
fully in the territories. When Mr.. La
cey was elected in 1888, there was no
law in the territories for ventilation,
mine inspection, or any other way to
protect the miners of the territories.
He secured the passage of what was
known as the Lacey mining act, "
which provided for inspection, venti-
ton to life and health in the mines.
The law has been in force now for
twelve years, and the number of ex-
plosions and injuries to workmen in
the mines in the territories has been
greatly decreased
The miners associations of the ter
49, al fln nnfto oil
alton, sent Mr. Lacey vote OF thanks
for this work.
In the fifty-seventh congress the
miners in the Indian Territory wrote
Mr.. Lacey asking some amendments
to the law, saying that they appealed
to him because he had looked to their
interests before; and Mr. Lacey intro
duced a bill which passed the house
and the senate and has become law,
for increasing the flow of air in the
! coal mines for sprinkling mines to
prevent it's explosion, and also provid-
ed system of shot-irers for the coal
miners in the Indian Territory.
These two bills, both introduced by
Mr.. Lacey, are the only laws on the
statute books of congress on the sub
ject of the protection of miners, so
that whatever national legislation has
ever been had on that subject was all
prepared, introduced and pushed
through congress by Mr.. Lacey. This
is all matter of record. which any
Interested person can readily find for
himself.
Mr.. Lacey favored the gold standard
which maintains miners pay in the
best money in the world. Many of the
miners thought they wanted to try
the free coinage Of silver, AZ cent dol
lar. Actual experience has demon
strated that Mr.. Lacey was right in
standing for the gold standard
Mr.. Lacey has voted for the McKin-
ley pill and the Dingley bill, each OF
which gives protection TO American
industry, under which bills the manu-
featuring interests and mining inter-
ests Of the country have greatly
fourished. He worked and voted
against the Wilson bill, which bill
brought more ruin to the coal miners
of the United States than any other
law or all laws ever devised by man
The miners CT this country by this
time know the difference between op-
Grating under free trade or revenue
tariff and protection.

has jumped from 100000 to $500, 900.
That is about $50 per cent. The value
of manufactured products has jumped
from $4,25O,OOO,OOO to $4,000, 900, 900.
That is about 800 per cent. In view
of these few facts, is it any wonder
that this country has leaped to the
front like an unmatchable giant, and
now takes its place as one of the lead
ing nations for the commerce of the
world?

for the democratic nomination for gov
ernor Of Iowa), in which he says he
favors the affirmation of the Kansas
City platform by the democrats OF
Iowa in their state convention this
year. 1t would appear that Cato still
has the grip" given him by Bryan just
before the last national convention OF
the democratic party at Kansas City,
and that he has not fully recovered
from the allopath dose given him in
the last state convention of the demo-
cratic party in Iowa
If Cato Sells advocates the rea1tirma-
ton of the Kansas City platform by
the democrats of Iowa this year, then,
surely he is no friend of that party
and has failed to learn the sad lessons
taught by the experiences since 1896
Is Cato Sells a fool or a. political
knave? We have never regarded or
believed him as either. But what can
be said in eXtenuation of the man who
assumes to take the position Sells has
in this particular matter in the light
of the past? We leave judgment to be
passed by the honest and intelligent
reader.
Reaffirmation of the Kansas City
plitform only means prolonging of
the death struggle; a forcible reminder
to many honest democrats that their
counsel and help are not wanted, how
ever badly they may be needed; that
to reaffirm is to recognize the dicta-
torial commands of the one-man pow
er that has ruled the party since 1896!
AS a democrat who seeks only the
good ofsthe party in Iowa and the ma
ton, IT trust that the Kansas City plat
form will not be mentioned in the COM
ing state convention.
Here is straw which shows which
way the wind blows.
To leave mention of Mr. Bryan and
his teachings out of the next state
democratic platform means trouble in
the ranks of the party accompanied by
some strenuous bucking and kicking.
To leave mention of Organism in the
platform means political death. How
ever, righteousness may, be cured, but
corpse cannot be resuscitated.
This is just the situation.

CLEVELAND REsURREcTED.

Mr.. Cleveland is making speeches
in New Jersey for what he calls tariff
reform, and hopes for the success of
the democratic party to bring 1t about.
Hope springs eternal in the human
breast. and Mr.. Cleveland INDUCES in
an ide~alization, recalling the beautiful
bubble he blew at the beginning OF his
second term, when all departments OF
the government were democratic for
the first land LAST time in many years.
The democratic congress passed some
thing 1t called tariff reform, but Pres
ident Cleveland and Congressman vii.
son mingled tears when they saw it
| completed, and it became a law with
out the presidents signature. Why
| Mr.. Cleveland expects better things
from the democratic party in the fu,
ture is not clear. His own later ex
! perience with the gratitude of the
party is not r~eassuring. No man liv
ing may survive long enough to SEE
a democratic president and congress!
as in 1898. But bubbles are beautl
full in prismic effects while they last
and even an old politician out of a jol
and out of a party may find pleasure
in watching them float away. Mr.
Cleveland's reyersion to his early
dreams shows that he has more mag
nation than has been supposed.
