Cleyeland rises to the occasion with a Republican sense of duty and -determinaiion to enforce the laws — Globe Democrat. The Globe-Democrat says Debs gets $3000 a year for throwing other men out of employment. That's the case aptly stated. Lesueur’s Manuel shows that in the presidential election of 1892, the democratic party in this state cast 268,628 votes; the republicans 226,762 and the pops 41,183. Judge DeArmond’s address is still Washingion, D. C. He will not return home to look after his fences, which are all right, and his nomina ‘tion will be made without opposition. Even the K. C. Journal now con- cedes that President Cleveland “has a backbone that comes in useful when a great national emergency requires a firm hand at the helm.” President Debs gets a salary of $3,000 a year. The men belonging to the order of which he is the offi cial head foot the bill. In the lan- guage of the pactical Irshman, “Debs rides in chazes while the oor man, by jazes, he walks ” The pretense by Debs and Sover- eign that the president, in sending troops to Chicago, is usurping pow- @r that does not belong to him, is very nearly the worst piece of ignor- ance and impudence that these fel dows have been guilty of.—Globe- Democrat. Judge Gantt of the supreme court ‘has decided that fire insurance com- panies must pay the face of the pol- dey where the loss is total. The other judges concur. This will ren- <der insurance companies very careful in the risks they take in this state. “Out of 3,700 men old enough to vote that are employed in the iron and steel works at Homestead, Pa, 400 are American born citizens leay ing 3,300 foreigners. And we are told that protection protects the American labor.—Ex. “The difficulty which the railroads are having iu getting men to operate their roads gives the lie to the Coxey movement or else the number of laboring men out of employment and hunting work to save the lives of their starving families was greatly overestimated. ‘Pension commissioner Lochren re- ports that about 85,000 names have een added te the pension rolls dur- ing tho year ending June 30. $140,- 09,000 was paid in pensions during the year. The reduction in one year dy deaths among the pensioners has ‘been $18,000,000. The old veterans are fast passing away. The present congress has increased the pensions .of the Mexican veterans from $8 to Si2 a month. The tariff bill passed the senate -on the night of the 3d of July a few winutes to 12 o'clock, by a vote of 34%029. The bill is to go into ef- fest August Ist.

The meeting of the citizens and of Butler Monday evening to consult with the city coun cil relative to the best method to be| pursued to raise sufficient money to attended and the different aspects of the situation were intelligently discussed. All the speakers, save | one, advocated the city meeting its | obligations, the only question was as |to the best method, since the su preme court decided that no more }than 50 cents can be levied- one exception was a repudiationist, }and his name is W. O. Atkeson, erst | while lawyer, politician, editor, labor agitator and about as near the verge | of anarchist as the state of this com- |munity will permit. Atkeson was sternly rebuked by the business men and slunk out before the meeting was half over. The people of this city will pay every dollar's indebted ness they contract, and gentlemen who have their capital invested in her enterprises need feel no uneasi- ness on that score. Our people are honest. honorable, fair-minded and just, and they are not looking for technicalities to escape the obliga- tions of « contract. LIGHT SHOWING THROUGH. The great railroad strike seemed to have about run its course Wed- nesday,but few roads were complete- ly blockaded, and on nearly all roads in the country traffic was being moved. President Sovereign issued an order for all Knights of Labor to strike in sympathy. This will have the effect of continuing the trouble a few days longer and throw a large namber of laboring men out of em- ployment who are now making good wages and are contented. These people will see the folly of their ac- tions when the bread is taken from the moaths of their wives and little ones. Sympathy will not buy the sustenances of life. It has been clearly demonstrated that President Cleveland means to quell all insur- rections and mobs promptly. The government is safe in such hands. Senator Peffer’s son is still in the employ of the sugar trust, and on tho final disposition of the tariff bill the senator voted with his son and the republican party against the passage of the bill. The other two populists voted with the democrats. Which of the populists senatcrs do the peoples party endorse. Will brother Atkeson answer? The law and Prendergast have been having a tough time of it. but the law is still on top. The latest in the case is that Prendergast has been found to be sane and the day meet the city’s obligations, was well | enhein.

The ordinary business of since the strike began they have orders enough accumulated to fill one hundred cars. The firm has called in their drummers to await the outcome of the blockade. This tion of the country caused by this senseless strike. ORDERED TO CEASE WORK. Kmghts ot Labor Throughout the Country Called Out by Sovereign. Chicago, Iil., July 10.—Knights of Labor throughout the country, numbering nearly one million men, have been called upon to strike. General Master Workman Sovereign issued an order late this evening to all members of the organization to cease work until the conflict origin- ating.in the strike of the Pullman empoyes is settled. DEBS IS INDICTED. He is Arrested and Releasel on a Bond of $10,000, Chicago, Ill, July 10.—The Fed- eral rand jury, after receiving the instructions of United States Judge Grosscup this afternoon, returned indictments against Eugene V. Debs, presii_st of the American Railway union; George W. Howard, its vice presi tent; Sylvester Koleher, secre tary, 2nd L W. Rogers, one of its directors, 2nd shortly thereafter the men were arrested. They are charged with conspiracy to commit an unlaw ful act, that is, to block the progress of the United States mails. Joined in the indictment with the four lead- ers of the railway union was James M. Murwin, the Rock Island striker who threw the switch which derailed a mail train at Blue Island on the nigkt of June 30 Debs, Howard, Keleher and Ro- gers’ were taken into the office of District Attorney Milchrist immedi ately after their arrest, and after a few hours’ detention were released on bail by Judge Grosscup, their bonds being $10,000 each. THE PRESIDENT’S POWER. Indianapolis, July 10.—Ex presi dent Benjamin Harrison, having been quoted as saying that president Cleveland has established a new pre- cedent in sending federal troops into a state without the request from the government of that state and over his protest said today; “I have of his execution set for July 13 The lawyers are still standing by him. A new trial has been asked and in case of refusal an attempt will be made to carry the matter to the state supreme court. He is now in good condition to get his neck crack ed unless the governor refuses. Lamar Democrat.—Don't abuse the governor. He is close to the masses of the people. He will have a hand in the next presidential elec- tion. The Democrat is exacily right. Governor Stone has made this state a model officer and his administra tion will compare favorably with that of his predecessors, and it should be beneath the dignity of a democratic journal for personal spite and revenge to take advantage ef every opportunity to discredit the sincerity of the governor's motives when duty calls him to exercise the authority vested in him by law. The state of Missouri is all right and so is Governor Stone. The stagnation in business the past week has not interfered with the live stock trade of Kansas City and the great slaughtering houses have gone nght along in the even neither said what I am quoted as saying as to the use of the United States troops by the president, nor do I think that the president has transcended his power. On the oth er hand I believe there is no apot in the United States where the United States troops may not go under such orders without asking anybody's consent and that an en- foreement of the laws of the United States is the sworn duty of the Pres ident and the army an appropriate instrument to use in the enforcement of those laws where they are vio- lently resisted and the civil officers are unable to deal with the situation. If the posse comitatus law limits the President's constitutional power at all—which is very doubtful—it only requires the proclamation to procede the use of the troops. Work Well Done. The demecratic convention of last Saturday did its work well.

Chicago, Ill, July 8.—The joint | committee from the City Council | Mr. Wickes at the office of the Pull man company at 2p. m. Chairman | of the Council committee explained | to Mr. Wickes the nature of the re- quest, and after a brief consultation | with his attorney, he refused abso-/| lutely to receive the proposed com- | mittee of five. “The Pullman company had notb-! to arbitrate,” said Mr. Wickes, ‘and | we must refuse to receive the com-!| mittee to which you refer. Our company has not receded from the position taken at the inception of the strike. This is final.” It is quite probable that the City | Council will pass a resolution to- night calling on the President to! withdraw the Federal troops from Chicago, but a very strong protest has been sigued by an immense number of business men and tele- graphed to President of the United States, urging him to ignore the prospective action of the City Coun- cil and to keep the troops here.

Having agreed with the eourt, it will now if a grievance arises sub mit it to the court. They condemn the method pur- sued by Debs in involving parties not directly in interest in the fight with Pullman. and declare that if Sovereign should call out the Kuights of Labor the calt would have no effect on the Union Pacific system pointed, but the convention spoke plainly of the men of its choice. The resolution commending the course of congressman DeArmond was a merited tribute to a worthy congressman of the great west — The congressman from the sixth dis- trict has won enviable distinction and has had no aim except to worth- tenor of their way. Mr. Armour says, “we have plenty of stock to kill and a lively demand for meat.” Twen- ty cars of dressed meat was shipped by the Armour’s Monday and they had 1,100 cattle in the pens. From Monday to Saturday of last week Kansas City received 28,300 cattle more inclusive than Chicago, Oma- ha and St. Louis. The receipts of hogs were 23,700 lighter than usual Committees of the two houses will now take the bill in hand and it is to be hoped an amicable settle- ment of the disputed question will be had at an early date. but the demand was good and pack- ers were liberal buyers. On Satur- day fourteen double-decked car loads of hoge and forty-six car loads of cattle were shipped to New York. ly represent the best interests of the whole people. With strong convictions on the burning ques- tions of the day, he has the courage of his convictions and his official acts have redounded to the credit of his constituency. By a decided majority. the voice of the delegates favored Judge J. N. Ballard, of Montrose, for state senator and this insures his nomina- tion. A strong, clear-headed and able man, he has already served the people in the legislature, being then a resident of Bates county. It JAMES R.
