The members of the church will smile when they read \ the report shown of their denomination, but this is about as near correct as any of the census returns shown. While they have been doctored to suit the occasion, we can see no reason for it in this i case. We are informed by a reliable member of this denomination that the church property has cost over two thousand dollars, while | the ground cost nine hundred dollars, with a membership of eighty- | fi ye - Rfr. .

The pay of railroad men is as ; follows or near this amount as different corporations vary in their pay: Engineers, S3O a week; fire- : men, sls a week; brakemen, $lO a i. week, and section men,”s6 a week. ’’ This makes an average of $17.32 a | week for each man. This is Editor Ashcraft’s way of aiming at the : pay of the locked-out men at Ilome'stead. This is one of the Repub- ” lican schemes by which they show that labor is well paid in this country, and while it is true that the pay of skilled mechanics is good, it | takes a long time for a man to reach that pointSvhen he can comBhest wages, or he must ation wages until he point, and then Irephysical wreck. Is lent an honorable one declare that all men for their labor because ohanic getsgood wages me? It is true that Homestead men get good wages, while some of them ■

i FOOLISH FASHION. One practice of Americans might well be reformed. It was introduced to deceive, but long ago ceased to fulfill its mission—the practice of “claiming everything.” It has been a part of political partyism since the famous dispatch of Chandler to his conspiratory in Louisiana and Florida, in 1876, to claim the states and then steal them to substantiate the claim, and has shown to be a part of all conflicts. Just now we are being told that the the iron and steel mills of Pennsylvania have all the men they want, and according to declaration, the mills have been ready to start up for a fortnight or more. Newspaper headlines a week ago said “the strike is over.” Yet, at the end of the seventh week, the works are under the arms of the soldiers, the machinery is still, the boycott is spreading; the three-dollar-a-month huts on shanty hill are emptied of their old tenants and a new set of Hungarians are huddled in, but the places of the skilled workmen, who met Mr. Frick as the deadly foe of organized labor, have not been filled the strike is not ended, and the managers have not the men they want. It would be a good thing 1 for a good many newspapers and a good many speech-makers to simply state facts. People are not so easily deceived as is imagined, and the deceiver soon loses his power to h arm anybody but himself. JIS. The following questions introduces an enitorial which may be found in Frank Leslie’s Weekly, dated Aug. 4, 1892: “Does Mr. Cleveland approve of the debauhery of the ballot box? Does he believe that the wholesale suppression ot the votes of citizens entitled tosuffiageisa good thing forttie republic? Is it his opinion that it is conducive to the sa r ety of the state to permit fraudulent manipulation of tie returns of elections and the consequent perversion of the sovernity of the people?” It is evident that the propounder of the above questions believes that he has dumfounded the standard bearer of the Democracy. He thinks that if Mr. Cleveland was to give his views on the subject there would be a stampede in the ranks of the Democratic party and all good, honest citizens would flock to the fold of Republicanism. It is not necessary for Mr. Cleveland to answer these questions for every one knows his position. He does not “approve of the debauchery of the ballot box.” Every good citizen of the land, who is not wrapped-up in party prejudice and ignorance, is loud in his oppsition to Dudley’s “blocks-of-five” and the high-joint Commission of ”76. yy e must have honest elections and the Democracy of the country believes' in them as well as their Republican friends, but we do not believe in resorting to inch means as the Republican party would like to resort to in their proposed Force bill a)

. - ! few of our Republican organs claim I that the Force bill is not au issue this campaign. They know that the people do not approve of such a measure. Thev tried to make the bill a law wheu political excitement had aihiost become allayed. They tailed and now they tell the people that it is a thing of the past and will not be a factor in the coming campaign. The Republicans realize that to talk “Force bill” during this campaign, their cause would be lost. After years of peace, without special complaint from any portion of the country, the Republicans of the Fifty-first Congress deliberately offered and urged legislation now commonly known as the Force bill. The people in the fall of 1890, at the ballot box, repudiated both the party and the issue. Still the bill was presented in the Senate, and with a desperate effort most of the Republican senators sought to make it a law. The Republican party now presents a candidate for president who has approved the measure, a candidate for vice-president whose newspaper labored for its passage, and a platform which practically gives it an indorsement.. In view of these facts, it is clear that a Force bill is before the American people. They must decide upon its desirability at the polls in November. The same men who propounded and supported the old Force bill of 1890 and 1891 will have charge of this new Force bill in 1893 and 1894. It is just to infer that their new Force bill will be similar to their old Force bill of 1890-91 embraced a scheme for the apportionment of supervisors who were to control congressional electionsThey were to be appointed by the circuit courts and were to be backed by deputy United States Marshals. The original bill gave them the authority to visit private residences for the purpose of investigation, to inquire of wives and daughters about husbands and fathers concerning politics, nativity, rcsidenc and anything else which the supervisors might think relative to the right of suffrage. The supervisors could also carry on this mission, deputy marshals to aid the enforced examinations ot women of families, while the men were away from home. This plan of supervision could be brought into any district in the United States, on the appication of one hundred men; and the number of officers, not including deputy marshals, who could then take charge of the district has been estimated at not less than six hundred. What district is there where there are not one hundred men so far below the standard of manhood as to ask for supervisors, if only for the purpose of becoming supervisors themselves? The circuit judge would first appoint his chief super visors and this man could practically organize the rest. The local authorities would then yield to this man and his associates. Hoke Smith sums up the object of the Force bill by saying: “It is a scheme to destroy home rule and local control. It is based either upon the idea that the people can not be trusted and that one man is far better than the people, or it is a plan by which one man may organize a set of partisans to work in all elections. It is either undemocratic and unrepublican, a blow at populai government, a tremendous stride toward centralization, or it is a deliberate plan to use officers of the government as an electioneering posse in behalf of a particular party, to furnish them means to prepare for a fraudulent election, and then to complete the work through a board of canvassers who are to declare the desired result and certify to it. Such an invasion of popular rights must be repulsive alike in every part of the land.” Tub congress just adjourned should be judged by the things it attempted to do rather than by its accomplishments. Every bill passed by the house for the relief of the people or for their benefit in any particular, was promptly pigr. eon-holed in the senate. The house was handicapped in the start by the appropriations made absolutely necessary by the legislation ofits predecessor. With a Republican senate to block every measure, the representatives of the people were virtually handtied so far as accomplishment was concerned. ———s—se The little tin-plate infant that the McKinley bill gave birth to at Anderson, Ind., died at an early age and the remains are now in care of the sheriff of Madison epun-j
