WHY NOT KEMOVE THE CURSE! McKinleyism is a curse. Wheat at 70 cents, wool at 20 cents no protection there for the farmer. Wages cut 30 per cent, by the iron monopolist and 150,000 men out of work in one section of Pennsylvania. No protection then for the laborer. A vote for Cleveland and Stevenson is a vote against this great infnmy of the age, a vote against a law that protects capital and yet can not be made to protect the wage earner. —Star.

The tariff on wheat is 25 cents a bushel and on wool 11 cents per pound. If the Democratic theory is true that the cost of an article is increased by precisely the amount of the duty, then wheat which is now 70 cents, would if the tariff was removed would be worth only 45 cents, and wool, if the tariff was taken off, would only command 9 cents. And yet the Star says that the farmer has no protection. Does not the Star know that the duty on steel, steel bearings, and manufactured steel of every kind waB made lower ind not higher by the McKinley bill If by lowering the duty only a few dollars, steel has to be made cheaper, why would it not lower it still more, or even make it impossible to produce it to advantage here in this well paid country if the tariff was to be taken off entirely Does not the Star know that without manufactories our workingmen would have no work. And aB to there being no protection for the laborer it is authoritively stated that the weekly earnings of the men at the Carnegie mill have been for rollers, $55.86 sheermen, S51.96 screwmen, $45.92 tablemen, 839.90 roll engineer, $22.14 melter's helper, 821.60 and ladlemen, 820.40, about three or four times as much aB laborers receive for similar work in free trade England. And if the McKinley law is such a "curse" why did not Brookshire or some other Democrat introduce a bill to repeal "this great infamy of the age?" 5-

THE CONGRESSIONAL RACE. The Republican Congressional Convention will meet at Rockville next Thursday, July 28. Candidates are not as thick as blackberries in harvest probably for the reason that the Eighth District is considered BO strongly Democratic that few men care to enter upon a race regarded as hopeless. Among those whose names have been favorably mentioned in connection with the nomination are W. E. Humphrey, of this county, W. S. Carpenter, of Clay, Frank Sargent, of Vigo, and Judge George W. Buff, of Sullivan. Mr. Humphrey has given his friends to understand that he is not a candidate and that his name will not be presented to the convention. As only mention of the name of Mr. Carpenter haB been made it is not known that h6 is an active candidate. The friends of Mr. Sargent have urged that he should permit his name to be used but we understand that he positively declines. Among those mentioned this leaves Judge Buff almost alone as among the possibilities. While he is

not a pronounced candidate, yet if it be the desire of the Republicans of the district that he shall make the race we are assured that he will accept the nomination and make a vigorous canvass Judge Buff is 49 years of age, was educated in the common schools and at Merom college, served through war in the First Indiana Heavy Artillery, afterwards became a lawyer, and in 18S2 was nominated by the Republicans of the 14th judicial circuit, composed of Sullivan and Vigo, as a candidate for Judge. Notwithstanding Sullivan has a Democratic majority of 1,500 he carried the county by 13 votes, showing that he stands high in the esteem of his neighbors. In 1888 he retired from the bench and soon thereafter to his farm where he now lives. He has given up the legal profession which he successfully practiced for many yearB, and is now an active farmer, a calling to which he is devotedly attached. THE JOUHNAL believes that Judge Buff is the proper man for the Rockville convention to nominate for the reason that he can be elected, and when elected can creditably and ably represent the district with honor both to himself and his constituents.

CLOVER SEED STATISTICS.

While the Department of Agriculture has with great care collected statistics concerning growing crops, stock, etc., one important crop has been omitted, viz: clover seed. The necessity for such information has induced J. A. Mount to write seveial times to the Department of Agriculture urging addition of clover seed to the list. It his last letter to Secretary of Agriculture he presented the great loss sustained by farmers in the sale of clover seed last fall. The price at which clover seed sold in the fall and early winter ranged from $3 to $4 per bushel while the retail price this spring was from 86 to $8 per bushel. This great loss was sustained through a lack of knowledge as to the condition and yield of the crop. Mr. Mount in his correspondence has answered the reasons for not collecting such information and is now assured by the Department of Agriculture that in September the Department will begin collecting facts as to clover seed. Such information will be of value to growers of clover seed, and dealers as well, as the prices will be indicated by extent of crop.

HOGS are now selling at $5.25 to 85.50 in the country, and at Indianapolis they are quoted at 85.80 to 85.90. So much for the enlarged markets through the Republican policy of reciprocity and the removal of the embargo on American pork and beef in the leading countries of Europe.

Lived In a Tent 1,1 ke a Wild Man. COLUMBUS, Ind., July 18.—At 3 o'clock Friday afternoon Albert Garretson went to the residence of Rev. Louit^ King, 6 miles east of this city, carrying a gun. He found Mrs. King alone and attempted to outrage her, but she fought desperately and succeeded in escaping. Garretson then left the residence and was seen to enter a dense woods a mile or so away. Word of the affair reached the chief of police here, who with a posse of men surrounded the woods and by means of a light found him in an old tent. lie refused to surrender and after a desperate struggle Garrison was handcuffed and brought to the county jail. Around the tent were skeletons of fowls and animals that he had been eating without cooking. Seven months ago he was discharged from an insane asylum as cured, but none knew that he lived in the woods.

Not Separated £ven by Death. IVOKOMO, Ind., July 18.—Thursday nigni John S. Coombs, of this city, died, the funeral being set for an early hours Saturday morning. The wife, Mrs. Cynthia A. Coombs, took a final look at her spouse, and as she turned away staggered and fell, expiring immediately. They were aged 64 and 60 years respectively, and came to this county from Switzerland county, Ind., in 1863. They will be buried together—a wish often expressed by the wife.

Uj-sJ Contract. Turned Out to Be a Note. COLUMBUS, Ind., July 21. Christ Helt, a farmer and miller residing in the southern part of this county, some days ago purchased of an agent a fanning mill, paj-ing in cash S'-i'i, and then signed a contract to act as agent and sell the mills to his neighbors and to pay a certain price when the mills were "received. He was greatly surprised Wednesday morning when he was notified that at the railroad station a shipment of these mills Was' received amounting to 81,980. He hurried away to a lawyer for advice and found that he had signed an ironclad note.

BAIL.

PITTSBURGH, July 21.—Hurgess McLuckie has been released on .^10.000 bail, but the decision in this case will not apply to Hugh O'Donnell and the rest of the strikers for whom warrants have been issued but who have failed to surrender, and all of them will be compelled to take their innings before the court. Judge Magee's courtroom was crowded to the corridor by laboring men of this city and Homestead, and Burgess McLuckie, who was placed in the prisoner's box, held something approaching a levee until Judge Magee, who was accompanied by Judge Porter, took his seat upon the bench.

I)UI Not Protest.

It had been anticipated that counsel for the Carnegies would resist the application to give McLuckie his iiberty and there were consequently many murmurs of surprise when District Attorney Burleigh arose and said that, having carefully gone through the evidence with the associate counsel for the state, lie conceded that McLuckie was entitled to his liberty. Inasmuch, however, as the offense was one of considerable gravity and in view of the present situation in the locality, he felt justified in asking that bail should be ample.

The .Judge's Decision.

"I have carefully looked into this matter," replied Judge Magee, "and 1 do not consider that you can make it a case of murder in the first degree. But the law, as I read it, makes every one who stands idly by during a riot, without making any effort to suppress it, guilty of riot and a rioter, and he becomes responsible for the consequences, whether they be destructive of property or life. Where life is destroyed, he becomes answerable in the degree of killing to be determined by law, whether it be first or second degree. But if the commonwealth wishes to make any of these cases those of the first degree it will have to show willful premeditation."

Each Case Must Stand on Its Merits. On behalf of the defense Attorney Cox suggested that the decision in McLuckie's case should govern all the rest of the accused men in order that they might surrender and give bail. "The court can consider no case that is not before it," said the judge peremptorily, and that ended the matter.

Released.

McLuckie's bail was fixed at $10,000 Owen Murphy and Oliver C. lvinton, two residents of Homestead, qualified, after being put through a rigid examination by the district attorney, and McLuckie was then released. The crowd filed out of the courtroom and gave him a cheer as he hurried away to catch the first train for Homestead. In an interview with Attorney Brennan he said that warrants would be issued very soon for the arrest of Frick and Lovejoy. They will be prosecuted. lie did not sayDwhat would be done about Andrew Carnegie.

An Ovation to the lJurgesn. HOMKSTKAD, Pa., July 21.—A triumphal reception was accorded Burgess McLuckie when, after his release from imprisonment in Pittsburgh jail on S10,000 bail, he arrived Wednesday afternoon in Homestead. Fully 1,500 of the strikers had gathered at the depot, and when the train pulled in they cheered him again and again. Not satisfied with applauding and hand shaking, the strikers insisted on a greater demonstration in his honor. The borough council was assembled and the advisory committee of the Amalgamated association. Two carriages were hastily secured and the services of a brass band. Preceded by a big American flag the advisory board headed a procession, which marched through the streets of Homestead. The burgess was escorted to his home, near which a company of militiamen had been stationed. McLuckie was met by his family, who displayed considerable emotion at his release.

Wouldn't Let Them Celebrate. The sensation in Homestead is the sudden stop which Gen. Snowden put upon demonstrations in honor of Burgess McLuckie. A battery of artillery, three troops of cavalry and two companies of infantry, all fully armed and accoutered, were held in readiness on the hillside to post down upon the strikers at a moment's notice if Gen. Snowden's order had met with the slightest resistance. Capt. John Gerbich, of Chambersburg, with company C, Eighth regiment, numbering sixty-five men, brought the order, arriving at Burgess McLuckie's house just when the strikers, fully fifteen hundred strong, with bands playing, the town council in carriages, and the stars and stripes floating proudly over the liberated magistrate of the borough, marched up the street from the depot. Instead of a peremptory command backed up with leveled guns and bayonets Capt Gerbich quietly requested that the addresses be dispensed with and the crowd disperse. Mr. Brice, as quickly as possible, stepped on an elevation and asked the strikers now that they had accomplished all that they had in view to retire quitely to their homes. The request was complied with instantly, and with as little disorder as if the crowd were going home from church.

O'Donnell Comes Hack.

O'Donnell has just arrived from New York. He will surrender himself at Pittsburgh to-day. Up to this time eleven warrants have been issued for the leaders in the Homestead •trike, and but one man, Burgess McLuckie, has been inside the jail. It is stated by the counsel of the Homestead men, however, that O'Donnell, Hugh Ross, Samuel Burkettand Sylvester Crituhlow

will give themselves up to-day and that immediate uppik-ation will be made for their release on bail. Anthony Flaherty and James Flannagnn cannot be founii. sul their whereabouts are unknown even to their attorney. No more infi irmations were made against the strikers, and so far no retaliatory measure* have been taken against Me«i.-r. l'riek, Lovejoy and Potter, of the CariU'gie company. The strikerc' counsel insist, that the information wiil be made, but n"t for a day or

Want to Talk to l'inUerton. WASHINGTON, July il.—The hous6 judiciary committee has summoned Robert Pinkerton and William Pinkerton to appear before the committee Friday morning next, when they will be questioned in regard to their police and detective svstem.

"DON'T ±SE GULLED."

The American Harrow Company Oomes to Its Own Defense. To the Editor Tlie Journal.

In THE JOUHNAL of the 20th itist. there is an article headed "Don't be Gulled," which undoubtedly the author was ashamed to sign. He gives quite a write up of certain traveling implement companies, which is not at all complimentary to them, let alone what may be said of the truthfulness of his statements. It may be true that Montgomery county has been infested in the past with some snide lightning rod and plow companies. What county -as not? But to brand all traveling in »n or companies as thieves and cut-throats is going a little too far. It would be just as reasonable to say because one journal would misrepresent a fact that there is no truthfulness in the press.

As for the American Harrow Co., which is now working in this county, we can say we have sold our goods in many different States and have given universal satisfaction. We do a straight and legitimate business We are not making arsenals nor do we hold up the farmer at the point of revolvers and compel him to sign, as this anonymous letter represents.

The article is a villification of the farmers of this county even more than of ourselves as the JOURNAL freely states that "there is a very serious reflection on the general intelligence of the farmers of this community."

As for ourselves, we have more faith in their judgment and good sense and feel confident that on giving our machine a thorough test the farmers of Montgomery county will not allow the ignorant prejudice of a man incompetent to judge its merits to interfere with their desire to invest in the latest and best improved implement in the market. We think the writer of this scurrillous article is a little too previous in his judgment as we have only been in this county four or five days and he h2s never seen one of our machines set up or operated and is entirely ignorant of our method of transacting business. We cannot understand why the JOURNAL should make this unprovoked attack on our business unless the article is at the instigation of some local implement firmwho are jealous of our success and too sneaking to openly attack us but takes this underhanded method of slandering us while they cowardly try to shield themselves behind the skirts of THE JOURNAL, and his proposition to give us the "raz.oo" and "razzle dazzle" only shows the more clearly his ignorance, spite, and contemptible cowardice.

That the public may know the truth of who we are and what our standing is as a firm we will state we are representing the American Harrow Co., of Detroit, Mich., of which D. M. Ferry, the great seed king, is the president and largest stockholder. We might further state our company have over one hundred teams with salaried salesmen in operation in this and other States, a number of which are now located in Montgomery county. W7e are selling the Now American Combined Corn Cultivator, Harrow and Seeder, and after seeing it operated and tested we believe the farmers will not allow this kicker who brands them as fools to judge for them, but will judge for themselves of the merits or demerits of our machine. Yours truly, G. C. KELLOOG,

Foreman for American Harrow Co. July 21, 1892.
