MONDAY EVENING, OCT. 20. 1902

IT is SAID that Senator Quay's ennis
saries have been intercepting delegates
to the miners convention which meets
today for the purpose of inducing them
to pass a resolution condemning ex-Goy-
ernor Pattison for sending troops to
Homestead to quell a riot several years
ago The Senator's satellites are said
TO be distributing literature among the
miners for the purpose of boosting
Pennypacker and to injure Pattison.
These henchmen, it is alleged, never
mention. for obvious reasons, Governor
Stone. who recently sent troops to the
Pennsylvania mining district. Many
people who follow politics as profes-
sion are ready to mount any hobby and
to cater to any class in order to swell
the volume of votes, and the above is
patent illustration. But the action OF
Senator Quay and his allies IS es-
pecially to be condemned at a time
when the country has just passed
through crisis and when the better
class of people, republicans as well as
democrats, are rejoicing over promised
peace. The Homestead troubles were
settled years ago and had been forgotten
by many people, and to open this sore
for the purpose of injuring the demo-
cratic party is fragrant act. 1t IS
hoped the delegates to the miners con-
yention will let by-gones be by-gones,
and that when they meet they vii. re-
pudiate the suggestions of political
tricksters and transact speedily the
business for which they are called.
Mr.. Quay must be driven to desperation
when he stoops to an act which should
bring the blush of shame to an irrespon-
sible ward politician.

LoRENZ CURES A PARALYTIC.-Pro-
lessor Lorenz appeared in clinic at the
Northwestern University in Chicago on
Saturday before big assemblage of
students and physicians. He encount-
cred most difficult case in Miss +.
Hofentritze, aged 20, who suffered from
a badly-dislocated leg covered by paraly-
sis. The limb was permanently Dent
and musclesin condition of contraction.
After the woman was put under anes-
thetics wise was attached to the limb
and lever turned until the limb was
righted. There was further manipula-
ton and the limb was placed in plaster
cast. The ankle was then treated and
the muscle detached by the knife, owing
to strong development. The foot was
heightened. Seven children were
among those treated, but only two were
operated upon.
Prof Adolph Lorenz gave the last of
his public clinics in Chicago on Saturday
at Wesleyan Hospital and will devote
the remainder of his stay in the city to
private operations and consultations.
He will continue to make daily visits to
Lolita Armour, to trreat whom he came
from Vienna, and will attend number
of patients in wealthy families. AT the
last clinic there were many crippled
children seeking attention from the
eminent phsician, and he renamed to
examine each one. He will continue to
treat free all patents unable to pay,
either at the hospitals or at their homes,
during the coming week. Professor
Lorenz will start for the Pacific coast
next Friday. A member of his party
announced that in Denver, Salt Lake
City and San Francisco the Austrian
will hold one clinic in each city, but
nowhere will he give his services in such
wholesale treatments of the deformed as
he has done in Chicago.

BRAIN FOOD NONSENSE.

Another ridiculous food fad has teen
branded by the most competent authori-
ties. They have dispellcd the silly
notion that one kind of food is needed
for brain, another for muscles, and
su,l another for bones. A correct diet
will mot only nourish particular part of
the body, but it will sustain every other
part. Yet, however good your food NAV
be, its nutriment is destroyed by indi-
gestion or dyspepsia. You must prepare,
Tor their appearance or prevent their
coming by taking regular doses of Green's
August Flower, the favorite medicine OF
the healthy millions. A few doses aids
digestion, stimulates the liver to healthy
action, purifes the blood, and makes YOU
feel buoyant and vigorous. You can get

THE republican leaders are wide apart
in their views concerning reduction in
the tariff, some opposing any reduction
whatever. while Others say they favor a
modification at a convenient season and
by the friends of the present tariff
laws. But nearly all of them are OPP
nosed 70 anv immediate relief and say
that there will be no time IN the coming
short session of Congress to pass tarlll
bill. and that there is no precedent iOr
such legislation in a short session.
Those who make this plea overlook the
fact that the tariff of 1888 was the work
of short session of Congress. 1t will
he remembered that the Oliver commit
tee appointed by President Arthur had
recommended an average reduction OF ~
ner cent in the rates of duty in the then
existing tariff. Yet in face OF the re-
mort of this commission republican
CONGRESS increased the rates of duty all
along the line in the session that ended
March 4. 1888. What is meant, then,
by this plea is that the republican
leaders at heart do not wish to reduce
the tariff, but many of their constituents
NAV take hand in the matter in the
approaching November elections.

Disorderly strikers Arrested.

HazeltOn, Pa, Oct. 20.-Ludwig
Meyer, non-unionist, and Arthur Don
ahoe, a mine foreman, were brutally
beaten by mob of strikers last night,
while on their way to Sheppton. The
mob then marched to the house of
Meyers son and son-in-law, also nom
unionists, and threatened to blow up the
structure. Company Z, of the First
regiment, was called out, and dispersed
the mob, arresting two ringleaders after
a hard chase. The men were taken
before a Justice this morning. One was
placed under 81, 100 and the other under
$500 bail.
Tamaqua, Pa, Oct 20.-General
Schall said today that in all probability
the Third regiment, now stationed at
dinersyille, will be transferred to
Hazelton on account of threatened
trouble between the union and nom
union men when the mines resumed.
A shipment of twelve cars Of coal was
shipped from the Silver Greek colliery
this morning. A large crowd Of strikers
stood threateningly by and to avoid
trouble, company of the Third regi-
ment guarded the train. The feeling in
this sectiun is against returning to the
mines until definite assurances are given
of increased wages.

men, and from fifteen to twenty others
were more or less painfully burned by

which surrounds the big plant, and
we're fastened to their homes. The
explosion was caused by the settling of
a recently constructed brick building,
which broke the pipes leading from the

THE MINERS.

The delegates who went to Wilkes
barre, Pa, yesterday were eager to call
upon President Mitchell and congratu-
Late him and the feeling among them
last night was that vote of the conyen-
ton would. without discussion by the
delegates or a speech by Mr.. Mitchell,
result in a majority voting for resump-
ton of work, while after the explanation
which is to be given by President Nit
chell they feel that less than 10 per cent
will desire to protest and argue about
the conditions. In some few of the local
unions, where boys out numbered the
men. resolutions were adopted urging
original demands, but it is believed
such action will eventually be reconsid-
cred.
Mr.. Mitchell yesterday finished the
speech he is to make before the convention
which will explain to the strikers the
negotiations between President Roose-
welt on one side and the operators on the
other. and which will close with n
strong recommendation for accepting
the arbitration proposition and return
ing to work. If there is discussion
it will take until tomorrow afternoon to
reach vote President Mitchell is
more than usually confident of his
position.
An effort to inject some politics into
the convention is being made. Dele
gates as they arrive at Wilkesbarre are
being. met by Quay emissaries and
talked with, The plan is to introduce
resolution scondemning Ex-Governor
Pattison for sending troops to Home
stead, and then, by'using this as campaign
literature among the labor men, to
boost Pennypacker and injure Pattison
in his present candidacy for governor.
Governor Stone, who sent troops TO
the strike region, is apparently not to
be mentioned in the resolutions because
of the injury it might do to the repub-
lican party The effort is so apparent
that it is probable the leaders will COM
bat it vigorously.
The coal companies are getting along
faster than they expected in preparing
the mines for work, and if the strikers
return next Thursday many of the
mines will be in condition to take the
full force back in short time.
