©he democrat JT. Proprietor. Friday, dec. id,,1890. The portrait of Geo. W. Steele, Governor of Oklahoma, adorns the Police Gazette. Through the efforts of Congressman Martin, Perry Andrews has been again remembered-by the government he helped to s ive. The good Indians, like Sitting Bull, are all in the happy hunting grounds? Several more of them left for the same place at the time Sitting Bull did, and this country can spare all of them. The Chicago lieraid has made a careful analysis of the legislative vote in Illinois, and finds that there are 101 Democrats, 100 Republicans and 3 members of the Farmers’ Mutual Benefit Association in the Legislature. If the Republican party wants to keep their Moses before the people they had better have his picture taken soon, for if another race is to be made between Blaine and Cleveland, there will not be enough left of Bla>ne for his friends to tell who he is. William T. Pratt, ex-sheriff of Allen county, died last Friday at the S|. Joseph hospital, after a long illness with .consumption. W. 'l', Pratt was well known hero by reason of his being one of the contractors on the building of the Grand Rapids Indiana railroad. JS'-Jj—L-l—=? We are ready and willing that any and all of the books in the court house shall be investigated. We have so said all the time, and we are progressive, and never turn ' aside from what we say, unless are in the wrong and then none are more ready to make right the'wrong. The action of the ILnoe in refusing by a large majority to pass the Senate resolution for the removal of the remains of General Grant from New York to Washington was a striking victory for Mr. Flower and the other members from New York City. It settles the question finaly. On January 1,1890, one thousand and six hundred saloons of Chicago will close. Brewers that have been furnishing them the money on which to do business, have concluded to withdraw their support in that way. It looks as though some of the jitiJ zens of the windy city will have to go dry for a few days. s The supreme court of Kansas has decided against the claims of 18 Republicans trom undistricted counties to seats in the Legislature. Ingalls’ friends are claiming that they can get 18 Democratic and Alliance votes for the gentleman with a mouth organ. And Ingalls got 18 per cent interest on that ♦ 10,000 he invested in Kansas farm mortgages. From the way a Fort Wayne, correspondent writes up Attorney General Miller, it looks as though he is a mugwump. The fact is, and I has been all the time that $s soon as a rnan becomes unfit to be a Democrat, the party of promises is willing to place him in an exalted position. All the question asked is he willing to do their bidding, and become a slave to the rponopolist that rule this country. In the death of Judge Mitchell the supreme court of the state will be entirely Republican, Governor Hovey, having the appointing power to fill the vacancy. While theltate loses one of its ablest jurists, and the Democratic party the only member of the court it had oi) the supreme bench, it is to be hoped that Governor Hovey, in the selection of a wuecessor will be guided by a purpose stronger than party zeal in the selection of a rnan who will be indeed a successor. CoLOMgL A. L. Conger, a leading' member of the reaper and mower trust, whose operations promise to he so interesting to the farmers of country next spring, is the Ohio member of the Republican National Committee, and approves heartily of the McKinley tariff. He says the people “misunderstood” the McKinley law, but the law a fixture for at least five years,” and be is confident that everything will be Mtisfactory to the high tariff men in 1892, when “the knotty points of the McKinley bill will have been unraveled \>y >hc people/’

McKINL EYSJ) UL L D OZERS. . Extrao d nary revelations have just been made by a citizens’ com- i mittee at Mai at I lon, Ohio. Russell < <fc Co., manufacturers of that town, i employ more than 600 men. The i members of the firm are Republicans I and warm friends McKinley, i Immediately after his defeat some < extraordinary charges were made of < Idle revenge which they had taken upon some of the workmen who had I supported the Democratic candidate, i and a mass meeting of citizens was I held, which appointed a committee ; to investigate the matter. This < committee consisted of a member of i the State Senate, one of the clergy- I men of the place, and three other : citizens, and they are unanimous in i their report that the charges were well grounded. It appears from this report that tor years every position in the com- < pany’s shops in which a man has < any control over his fellows has 1 been held by a Republican; that in the last campaign, as well as in previous ones, Republican foremen were active in electioneering in all parts ot the shop at all hours of the < day, and that bulletin boards were placarded with epitheths denunciatory of Democratic candidates and principles; that, if Republican meetings were held at other points in the district, these foremen distributed the tickets advising Deraocrais that it would be to their interest to go; and that foremen have called the men of their departments together to advise them how to vote. Immediately after McKinley’s defeat between thirty and torty workmen who dad voted against him were notified that their wages weie to be cut down one-third, this notice oi reduction being intended as a request to quit. Many of the men thus punished were among the oldest employes, having worked 7, 10, 15. 20 even in one case, 26 years, and they are perfectly respectable citizens. Here is the statement of one victim: “I worked for Russell &> Co., twenty-two years; worked in the foundry department. On Thursday after the election the foreman came to me and told me that Russell <& Co. had ordered him to cut my wages, day and piecework 33 £ per cent. I did not say anything then. I went down next morning and asked him why I was cut. He said: ‘You know the cause yourself.’ I said I had worked for this company twenty-two years and never did anything against the company. He then said: ‘You voted for freetrade, and now we give you freetrade wages.’ That was about all. They never complained of my work,” . . Another sufferer examined by the committee said: “I have worked about twelve years for Russell & Co. Before the election my foreman went around with a book. He said: ‘Let me put your name in this book.’ 1 asked him what it was for. He said to start a McKinley club. 1 told him, ‘No, sir; 1 am a Democrat and a Warwick man.’ He asked me whether I did not think I ought to vote for their man. 1 told him, * ‘No, sir.’ On election day I worked about half a day, and about 4 or 4:30 o’clock he rang for me and I went to him and said, ‘What is it?’ He said: ‘I feel sorry for you, but I have to tell you that you are cut percent on your wages fur voting for-. Warwick and free trade., I went back th my bench feeling ' very blue, and soon made a move to go home, but he asked me to and said I might work myself up to my former wages. They said they never found no fault with my work.”, The only defense made by the firm was the complaint that these Democratic workmen thus punished had been offensive in the expression of their political views; but this was obviously an afterthought, as one of the firm on the day the aetion was taken, but before, they realized bow unpopular it w'ould prove, admitted to a townsman that' they “had reduced the wages of free-traders/' and alleged no other reason for the performance. biNtMk the McKinley bill went into effect a large of different manufacturers have rechuks/j the wages of their employes, while others bav# shut down entirely or at least for an indefinite time. S.orpe without saying anything Lo lbw hands, the most recent one being ; in Pittsburgh, when three thousand men were thrown out of work in one day without any warning whatever, and yet some people talk about the benefit* derived from high protection.

RESULTS IN COL OR ADC. Colorado, the banner Republican State, giving heretofore the largest Republic an majority to the total number of vote* polled of any state in the Union, has only been saved by a slight margin to the Republican party by the bulldozing tactics of the Union Pacific Railway. This corporation, whose very existence was made possblie by the gift of the United States Government nf immense tracts of valuable land larger in area than New England and New York combined, and the endorsement by the Government of more bonds than were necessary to build and equip the whole line, instead of remaining neutral as common decency would dictate, actually bulldozed its men “in the most flagrant violation of law” into voting a ticket which was eminently obnoxious to the masses and especially so to the laboring men of Colorado. At the opening of a hard winter these men, many of whom have large families, were told that unless they voted the Republican ticket they would receive immediate discharge. The Democrats have made wonderful gains in the Senate and lower House and if they had secured a majority would have sent Hon. Thomas M. Patterson to the United States Senate. Hon. Caldwell Yeaman, candidate for Governor, grew upon the masses wonderfully and had the Campaign lasted two w’eeks longer would have certainly been elected. The Democrats elected their State Treasurer, Superintendent of Public Instifuction and Attorney-General. Inasmuch as the Union Pacific Railway is making a business of politics rather than transporting freight and passengers, the Democrats of Colorado propose to transact their business over other lines competing with the Union Pacific and ask all Democratic shippers of the East to do likewise. W e have recorded several reductions of wages since the McKinley tariff went into effect, and Wi observe two more; both from the states of Senators Hawley and Platt. A dispatch from Birmingham, Conn., December 3, says: “Four of the boss carpet tack-makers of the Shelton Tack Company struck to day against a 20 percent reduction in prices, with the result that some 25 more employes went out.” A dispatch from the same town five days later said: “About 20 of the women employed in Ratcliff’s Woolen Mills, manufacturing underwear, struck today against als percent reduction of wages.” The McKinley law gives greatly increased protection to the manufacturers of underwear. The iron works at Danvers, Mass., closed November 22. Shall we find a record of all the suspensions of business and reductions of wages since October 6 in the just announced “Tribune Monthly,” which “relates to the tariff act, and records some of the important results of its operation?” » The Republicans of the East may think they are very brave when they protest that they care nothing about the way the elections went. But we warn them that the changed attitude of Massachusetts and Rhode Island manufaturers means something, and the condemnation of the McKinley bill iu the West by the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, the Rockford Register, the Peoria Transcript, the Keokuk Gate City, the St. Paul Pioneer Press, the Chicago Journal, the Topeka Capital, the Wichita Ragle, the Omaha Bee, the Atchison Champion ancj tfie Minneapolis Journal not lo mention (bn erratic Chicago Tribune, means a good deal. The annual meeting of (bp reform association, ot the Eleventh congressional district, will be held in this city some time during the month of January, 1890. The meeting will he addrmed by some of the most prominent tariff reform speakers that the counrty affords, Tbp same will be dnely advertised so that all may have a chance to come out and hear the issue fairly and honestly discussed by men of national reputation, and when the time comes we wish to extend a hearty invitation to every voter in Adams county, and WWj else. The famous Baby Wf against the.millionaire Arbuckle, ha v s at last been ?n $e supreme court, the finding in the i<w e F w# being in favor of tfip Campbell for >45,000. The an preme court did not feel like changing the same. Arbuckle will be eompclLeJ to pay.

CALLING .1 HALT ON PENSIONS. ~ . . . The members of the House committee on invalid pensions and three members of the State committee on pensions were in conference on Tuesday, discussing the question of deciding upon some general policy to be adopted by both committees in dealing with the mass of special pension legislation coming before them. There seems to be a restrictive feeling among certain of the members of both committees concerning this class of cases and reference was made during the conference to the suggestion in the President’s Message tor a more careful scrutiny by Congress of bills for special relief in view of the late en- , largement of the general pension law. Several propositions were under consideration, all looking to ward a material decrease m special pension legislation. While no action was taken the discussion plainly indicated a decided sentiment , against legislation of the character indicated.— National Democrat. Some of our exchanges in speaking of the Lodge Election bill, call it the fraudwilWnstead of the Force bill. We haWseen but little legis- , lation by the Republican party but what there was fraud connected with it, the party leaders being men ot that class from the organization I down to the present time. We do not know that they are any worse now than at the organization. Unless as some say of whisky, that ( age improves it. They may have ( become more expert in the manner of violating any and all rights that belong to the people. It is true they have grown bolder and like ( most ot men who commit crime have less fear of punishment. Even ? the last election does not seem to deter some of them, but they want > to go right on the same as though the people had not rebuked them at the polls in November, if the party . was to continue in power for a few j years longer, and it may be if they - force the Lodge election law upon s the American people the time may L be at hand when an uprising of the , people will become necessary in a e different manner than the one last - November. While in general the j people of this country rely on the i ballot for their weapon, but if > forced too far they may be driven k to use a more violent weapon than s the paper one that falls so silently i into the ballot box, the constitutional rights of the people may be trampled - on for a while without any comi plaint, but the time comes when r they will bear it no longer, and in > this case it looks as though the men • who they have intrusted with for- , mer fair warning not to go on in the I 1 same manner any longer, or the 1 same wane that struck the Demo--3 cratic party in 1860 may strike ■ what is yet left of the party in i power. 3 8 The murderer Kuhns, in the AUe n county jail with seven gun shot wounds and three leaden bullets in r his body, bids fair to recover, If r the persons he wounded when resist* t ing arrest get well, Allen county 3 ought to turn him over to the - authorities at Fostoria, Ohio, that 3 they might have a chance to stretch ■ Jjis neck, for the sooner they get i rid of such men the better it will be i for the morals of the country. As ! long as they have a chance to gam - their liberty they will be ready to i work some sympathetic racket un- • til they again dip deeper in crime, i and are finally brought to justice. The party of promises is now : trying to rMeeq} the only promise L that they intended to fulfil, when they were making their famous campaign of promises. Tfiis they will do • their Vest to pass, the force bill that 1 they may he fetai u P4 in power, 1 knowing that if the people get an- ! other fair election that tbeir doom is forever sealed, that the Repubhc- ‘ an party will be a thing of the past, ’ WP tfi# PJBI he Fesurfec|ed ! that few )yi|l eyer iysnt |q bp res ; 1 urrected. t■- .
