the leading republican papers. MIR
his selection for public office is the re-

Striking miners are leaving the

A rumor prevails that there may de-
yelop in the republican state conven-
ton strong disposition to put back
as many as possible of the old ticket.
There is no question that the admins
tration has been most popular In all
departments. 1t is intimated that if
candidates develop in embarrassing
abundance through the state their
various contentious may be easiest
settled by maintaining more or less
of the status quo.
Any law which gives to those who
make things an unfair advantage over
those who have to buy those things
cannot escape protest, when that quail

people are just, grave, intelligent and

aroused, when they discover that man

people abroad at lower prices than
they charge to home buyers Their
courage rises in resentment at that
fact. Their ability to change it is
challenged. Their conviction is that
the reform of such conditions presents
to them righteous cause. Brooklyn

UNITED STATES OF EUROPE.

ON Won Waltershausen.
BERLIN, Aug. 1S.-Baron August
Sartorious Won Waltershausen profess
Or OF political economy at Strassburg
university and one of the leading Ger
man authorities on American subjects,
will contribute striking article to q
Forthcoming number Of Zeitschrift Fur
Social Wissenschaft on 1.-THE. United
States Of Central Europe"
The writer will argue that the cen
trail European states will sooner or
later be compelled to erect q common
tariff barrier against the claims of the
United States to economic ascendency
or against those of Great Britain, with
greatly moderated tariffs and perhaps
free trade between themselves. Baron
Won Waltershausen believes that even
tually complete political union be-
tween Germany, Austria, Switzerland,
Belgium and Holland is probable and
that this union win give these coun-
tries an impregnable, economic posi-
ton.
The baron will argue also that great
states like the United States and Rus
STA possess recuperative powers supe-
rior to those of the isolated and small
countries of western Europe. In sup
port of this statement he instances the
fact that the United States issued
loans at z per cent at the end Of the
civil war and refunded these loans at
2 per cent in 1892.

Both the principals and 8. number Of
witnesses were examined. Mr.. White
had pleaded guilty to fighting. and Mr..
Wyatt said If he hit Mr.. White 1t was
in self-defense.
This claim on the part of Mr.. Wyatt
necess. tated a hearing of the evidence
and one witness, young man named
BEDFORD, said he saw Mr.. Wyatt strike
the first blow.
Then the story Of what led up to the
fight was brought out by the testimony

was done in self-defense.'
Mr.. White said he could not say WHO

that he felt he was insulted. and did
call Mr.. Wyatt a liar and several other
things.
THEY GOT TOGETHER.
II asked him if he had repeated the
report to Mr. Huntington. and he said
he had. He said furthermore that ne
