Sprclal to the Indianapolis Journal. 1 1 A FA Y KTTK, Ind.. July 27. The Wa bash railway had a serious wreck about midnight, resulting in the death of two men and the slight injury of two others. The accident occurred several miles west of this city, but in this county, and was not known in Iafayette until about 2 o'clock this morning. A freight train, west bound, known as No. 91, broke In two a couple of miles west of the city, but the train crew did not discover this fact until I hey had reached a small station on the road, known as Shadcland, a little over live miles west of here. At this point the train was placed on the sidine and the engineer started back to find his lost cars. Then followed a break in some of the rod3 con nected with the working apparatus of the locomotive, and the machine would go no further. The engine was on the main track. helpless, and it wys some miles to a teleCranh station. One of the trainmen was sent to West Point to arouse th operator. Z?t word to Lafayette and obtain another engine or relief. The brakeman succeeded in getting this word through after-reaching West Point, and started back to where he left the engineer and the disabled locomo tive. The engineer, after the departure of the brakeman, had examined his engine, and succeeded in some way in fixing it up,' .tnd concluded to po on without waitinp for the return of the brakeman, hoping fo gather up the lost portion of his train. It was in this way that the accident occurred. As soon as word was received here that the engine of No. 91 was disabled, another train was sent out, with the purpose of collecting the lost cars, and also pushing the "dead' engine out of the way, for the passenger train from St. Iuls would soon be due. The locomotives met on a curve in the road, neither expecting anything of the kind. Some of the trainmen lumped from their places and escaped with Might bruises and scratches. Engineer Clark, of train No. 91, remained on the engine, and was so badly injured that he died at 1 o'clock this morning. When brakeman John Donahue was found he was delirious, un able to tell anything about the accident. and he only lived four hours after the collision. The fireman on Clark's train leaped from the locomotive and thus saved his life, escaping with sprains and bruises. The injured men were brought to this eltv and surgeons hastily summoned, the pawems oemg taKen to st. Elizabeth Hospital. Clark died on the way there. Tne loss to tne company, in the destruction of nronerty, is not large. The cars were not derailed and were easily pushed out of the way. Donahue's home was at Andrews, irm. i,iarn came irom saginaw. Mo., and was a new man on the road. INDIANA I) K ATI IS. Cup I a I n Allen Timlolph, Wealthy .llayor of Vlnrennes. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. VINCENNKS. Ind.. July 27.-Capt.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. COSH EX. Ind.. July 27. The Democratic bosses of the Thirteenth congressional district, who met at Siuth Hend the other day to consider Congressman Conn's ultimatum, and subsequently adjourned to Elkhart, are in a sea of trouble. In declining to again make the race for Congress In this district, the Colonel did so with the proviso that he would run if they would adopt his personal platform, which was filled with Populistic ideas, and a main issue, in which was a pronounced stand taken against the abuse of federal airthoritv by the President in sending troops to t'hicjgo. The committee wired the Colonel that he could promulgate suh views ns he wished on the tump. but that the Democratic party eould not, as a party, ind.r.e his opinions. The Colonel sticks to his colors, however, and will not retract, and matters will be Wt in their rresent chaotic condition until his return home next week. His action leaves the party in a deplorable condition, for it will be next to impossible to find a man ro take charge or' the shattered party in the district. The mass, the voter of the party, are up In arms against 'their Congressman, and are urgtng the committee to accept 2ils declination as lirral. This is a strong Cleveland district, with the exception of a small co

terie headed by John P. Stoll. of the South Bend Times, and so bitter an anti-administration man as Conn cannot much longer Mirt with the Populists with impunity. JohiiHton ot u Candidate.

An Aictic Enthusiast Keceives News 1 rem Norway to that Effect. LONDON, July 27. Carl Siewers. the Norwegian arctic enthusiast, to-night received a telegram from the captain of the Erling, a Norwegian sealer, which arrived to-day at the Island of Tromose, Finmark, Norway. The captain of the sealer said in his dispatch that near Amsterdam island, in latitude 81 north and longitude 0, the Erling spoke the Ragnavold-Jarl, the steamer which was conveying the Wellman arctic expedition to the edge of the pack ice. The Ragnavold-Jarl, in reply to signals asked to be reported at the nearest place the Erling touched at. saying that all were well on board. The RagnavoldJarl had been beset by pack ice. which had delayed her progress considerably. But Wellman and his party were then free of the pack ice and they should now be well on their way to the north ?ole. The Jackson (English) expedition, which passed Tromsce yesterday, is fitted out very much after the manner of the American party under Wellman, wdth aluminium boats, etc.. and they also will leave their ship, the Windward, at the edge of the pack ice and make a systematic, determined effort to reach the pole. II A 1 LV A V M I S M A X A ii MM E T. One of the t'aiiKCN of the Demand for Government Control. Now York Journal of Commerce. Whatever force there is in the clamor for state ownersUin of railroads docs not come from the Socialists and the Populists who are talking about it. but from a very different class of persons, largely business men. who are saying little, but thinking a srood deal about the management of railroads. This thinking is not likely to mature into a conclusion farable to actual state ownership, but it is in very great -danger of maturing into a substantial demand for greater governmental regulation of the railroad business. We have never approved of the regulation of roads through the interstate-commerce act. but that assumption of power was not unprovoked, and the demand for it did not come exclusively from the West or from the farmers. If there is any probability of a large expansion of governmental influence in commercial affairs it will be due wholly to the bad and often criminal management, mainly through corporate forms, by the private persons placed in control. . The average level-headed private citizen has alwavs been In the habit of replying to the blandishment's rf the "State Socialist," that private business is always more cheaply and eliiciently performed than public business. But in the past few years he has lost much of his faith in the sufficiency of this reply, and he Is in a fair way of losing the rest. It is not true that the prevalent railing against corporations is altogether, and we doubt if it is mainly, due to the poor man's envy of the rich man. even when aggravated by the demagogue who wants votes. It is due to a general impatience with the lack of intelligence, or honesty, or both, in private management of great interests. No Socialist or demagogue has ever made more savage indictments of certain railroad managers than have been made by business men of large experience, by newspapers that are pre-eminently friendly to capital and private management, and by railroe.d men themselves. Thee has been no such mismanagement no such trifling with trusts, in the business affairs of the government for a generation or two, as there have been in the recent management of the Reading, the Atchison and the Northern Pacific railroads, to take not the worst but the latest examples. It is no longer possible to lay much stress upon the superiority of private management; the politician does not suffer so much as he did in comparison with the railroad manager. Neither the Interests of the public nor the Interests of the stockholders can be trusted to control the managers of railroads, and where the purposes are honorable enough the means sometimes employed reflect little credit upon the sagacity of the officials. For years the public was told, and most of the public believed, that railroad managers were a superior order of beings who reached their dizzy altitudes by a process of rigid natural selection; that their survival in the competition Is evidence that they are the fittest; that whether they have faults or not, they are the very best men in the country for those positions, or else they would not hrvo reached them. The public belief in this sort of thing Is now extremely weak. There is a growing impression that men who manage railroads have no higher sense of honor than othr men; that their sagacity Is not always phenomtnal, and that the methods by which they attained control do not afford perect assurance that the interests of the storkholders will b carefully regarded. Not to put too fine a point on it. American railroad management has frequently been disfigured by shocking incapacity and by gross dishonesty. The Interposition of the government in the management of railroads could not have been aeeomnlished bv the "calamity howlers" alone; it was due to the public appreciation of the glaring unfitness of many railroad managers for their extremely responsible places. And If railroad managers do not make broader and more evident to the common eye the distinction between their methods ond piracv there will be a Kreat and a most unfortunate expansion of governmental Interference with business. If the Intensely practical, sensible Amer ican people are moving towards state sor'alism thev are being goaded thereto by the scandalous influence of trusts at the national Capitol and the moral and mental incapacity of men administering great railway systems.

A messenger from the executive mansion reached the House of Representatives half an hour after the Senate had voted to send the tariff bill back to conference with a note for Repre- j sentative McMillin, the ranking House conferee in the absence of Mr. Wilson, asking him to call at the White House. This, following the conference between the President and Speaker Crisp, earlier in the day, was taken to indicate the solicitude the President felt on the outcome of the second conference. Messrs. McMillin and Turner are the only House conferees in town, but Speaker Crisp has word that Mr. Montgomery will arrive to-night and Chairman Wilson will be here to-morrow. The Democratic conferees will hold an informal meeting to-morrow, and Senator Jones said today that the full conference committee, including Republican members, would probably be called together on Monday. The general impression about the senate is that the conference committee either will agree on a report within two or three days after the sittings begin or within that time decide to report another disagreement. The preponderance of the opinion is, however, that there will not be another report of disagreement. In fact, the Democratic conferees assort that another disagreement means the defeat of the bill. The indications all point to the probability that the sugar schedule again will be the principal point of contention, and that but for the differences on this point an agreement would be reached after a very brief sitting. The Democratic members of the conference went through the bill very carefully during their former sitting and agreed on a vast majority of the items in it, so that they will not need to consider these points again very fully. It is probable, however, that the Republican members of the committee will ask for an explanation for the many changes, and this action of course would have the effect of delaying the conference report. Senator Blanchard has an entirely new sugar proposition to submit to the conference, but it It not regarded as at all likely of adoption. In outlining his proposition Senator Blanchard said that in his opinion the best way out of the complication would be to continue the bounty, diminishing it at the rate of one-eighth each year and to add to the bounty three-eighths of a cent duty on raw sugars and five-eighths of a cent on refined sugars. "This," he said, "would not increase the price of sugar to the consumer and would yield to the treasury say twelve to lifteen millions a year revenue, with an ever inbounty from the start, with an ever increasing surplus each year as the bounty diminished in amount. Tne differential on refined sugars would be one-quarter of a cent, the same as proposed in the Wilson bill as reported from the ways and means committee, and only half as much as under the existing McKiniey law. I would also." he added, "return the one-tenth discrimination duty against sugar imported from countries paying an export bounty." Speaker Crisp was again at the White House to-day, and, although there is a strict reticence on the part or tnose wno are informed of the conference, it is accepted as a fact in congressional circles that the talk was concerning the solution of the tariff problem. Mr. Crisp did not make his visit known to members of the committee on rules or to other close associates, and the meeting with the President has not as yet been productive of any results so far as shaping the course of the House. The feeling continues to be very strong among the members to end the struggle with such concessions from theSenate as can be got. Mr. Crisp, as yet, has given no intimation that he shares this deling, although it is the general belief of members that the conferences at the White House are with a view of reaching results and the passage of a bill with little delay. down to .v.::mmhm. Hie tJold Reserve I Rapidly Dwindling; Away. WASHINGTON. July 27. To-morrows outgoing steamers from New York will carry $.,3ft0.000 in gold, which was yesterday and to-day drawn from the New York subtreasury for export. This leaves the gold reserve at the close of business to-day $55.2,526, or over JG.000,000 less than the lowest point reached prior to the February bond issue. The cash balance to-day was J12t,r80,4:K. The treasury officials exhibit no uneasiness whatever over the rapid melting away of the reserve. The fact that the available cash balance remains practically unimpaired, and the expectation that a tariff bill will soon pass ooth houses of Congress and become a law, ere sources of comfort at this time to the treasury folks. With the passage of a tariff bill the officials confidently expert prompt revival of trade and a corresponding Increase in the customs and internal revenue receipts. With renewed commercial activity, return shipments of gold, it is thought, would probably set In and continue until nominal conditions are reached. St! VeMNelM Unlit I.nnt Year. WASHINGTON, July 27.

THE SOLIDARITY OF LA1S0K. It ShouM Ue Discouraged Docause It Iu voles Solidarity of Capital. The Outlook. We have never doubted that it is both right and wise for worklngmen to form labor organizations. History proves beyond all reasonable controversy that the laborers have benefited thereby. Their condition is always better where they are organized than where they are not: better in England and in the Cnited States than in India, and China; better in this century than in the last; better in the Northern States than in the Southern; better among men than among women; better In the organized than in the unorganized trades. Notwithstanding the American Railway Union, we believe in trade organizations. But not in the "solidarity of labor." The "solidarity of labor" involves the "solidarity of capital." It means all cmployed and all employers organized in two hostile camps. It means chronic suppressed war between the two, breaking ever and anon into open war. it means envy, suspicion, jealousy, if not active and open hostility, in every town and every trade. The only division readily conceivable, worse than such a class division as this, is an analogous one between religious sects. The man who consciously or unconsciously helps to set employer and cmployed against one another is an enemy to his country only less dangerous than he who sets Roman Catholic and Protestant against each other. The worst conceivable war Is a war of religious factions; next to that is a war of industrial factions. The ominous .fact in the recent railroad strike is not the brief midsummer madness, nor the acts of violence perpetrated in a few localities; it is the widespread nature of the strike, and the widespread sympathy with the strikers. For these facts indicate that the solidarity of both labor and capital are more nearly accomplished facts than the public had generally supposed: that the two camps are more thoroughly organized and more hostile than ever the prophets of a possible Industrial war had perceived. It should be the object of every moralist, preacher, editor, public teacher, leader of men and patriot to do what he can to break up the solidarity of both labor and capital, not by making either organization of laborers or capitalists illegal or even difficult, but by making them conform to certain fundamental principles. We mention here three: 1. The lalor organization should be a "trades-union" that is. a union of men of one trade, united to promote the interests of their trade, not a union of the men of all trades to promote the interests of what is called "labor." It i3 quite rational that the locomotive engineers on any railroad should unite to promote their common interests, but quite irrational that the sw itchmen should have power conferred on them by the engineers to determine authoritatively what are the engineers' rights and wrongs, and when they should ork or quit working. It is quite rational that both day laborers and skilled workmen should organize for the benefit of their respective vocations, but quite irrational that labor ing men working with pick and shovel at a dollar a day should decide the conditions under which skilled artisans may carry on their work. There is a bar association, a medical association, a ministers' association, but the ministers' association would never think of allowing the bar association to determine what are the standards of orthodoxy, nor would the bar association allow the medical association to determine the ethics of the bar. Still less jvould either body allow the other to determine for it the conditions of employment and compensation. The American Railway Cnion is based on a fundamentally wrong nrinclpie; the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers on one which is fundamentals right. 2. The labor organization should maintain local self-government. Local self-government Is not only the "American idea." but history proves it to be essential to liberty. If Chicago were allowed to exercise authority over Sacramento in its local affairs, the libel ty of Sacramento woulu be gone. If a conference of men at Chicago is permitted to determine whether trainmen may work in Sacramento, the liberty of the trainmen in Sacramento is gone. Such a labor union is in its very organization despotic. The surrender of local self-government is the surrender of personal liberty. It is difficult to conceive any conditions which make it expedient or even right for the employes of one concern be it railroad or not to give to the employes of another concern a voice in determining whether they shall work or not, or under what conditions they shall work. Various local unions may co-operate in sustaining one another by their contributions of money: this is very different from the surrendering by one local union to other local unions, in whole or in part, the right to decide the terms and conditions of the former's employment. Xo imaginary strategic advantage in an anticipated industrial war can compensate for the abandonment of local self-government, because no such advantage can compensate for the loss of liberty. 3. The third principle is more difficult to define, but quite as fundamental. The labor organization should be a union to promote industry, not a union to make war. The radical difficulty in the present organizations is that they are yet in their first stage of development, and that is a semisavage stage. Philosophers tell us that the first social organizations were not industrial but military. The tribe was d combination of families leagued together for war, defensive or offensive, with other tribes. In the animal condition combativeness and destructiveness are predominant; and, therefore, the first organizations are for combat. The most serious fault with many modern labor organizations is that they have not pissed beyond this primitive stage. They are organizations for the purpose of Industrial war. Their favorite motto. "An injury to one is an injury to all," Is the motto of an army. The higher the organization the less warlike is its spirit. The paciiic character of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers was exemplified in the recent strike, and was one of the chief factors in bringing the strike to a close; and the warlike spirit of lower and less intelligent labor unions was unhappily illustrated in their almost military pronunciamento. Ti paciiic and progressive snirits in the labor unions have a not inconsiderable task before them in the endeavor to put 'industry, not war. before their fellows as the true object of labor organizations; and the country will need to exercise patience, as well as courage and strong resolve, while the lower and less intelligent of these organizations are being developed from the more primitive into the hinlier and more civilized forms, from military into true industrial societies. The hope of the future certainly does not lie in the solidarity of labor ami the solidarity of capital and odd necessarily involves the other: nor does it lie in suppressing eithor. It lies in a patriotic and intelligent endeavor to mak lalor organizations respect the fundamental principle of local self-government. and seek, as their ultimate and always conscious end. not eouiument for industrial war, but the promotion of peaceful industry; not the creation of a collection of cliques and clans and belligerent factions, but the development of "kill, character and manliness, which alwavs, by a law of? nature, bring with thein good wages. testimow or sthiki:r;s t.oitiK to Miow the Intent of the Cat In Wage at Pullman.

"I've been in Pullman thirteen years nd know the storv from the beginning. I am a tend maker or a steel maker. I do th? fine steel work you see in the cars. I used to live in another State, and the Pullman company was looking for the best workmen they could hire.

I can say tor myself and brother workmtn," he ailed, "that if the rents had been reduced with the pay there would have bet n no strike. InsdeaJ, of that rents have been increased since I came to Pullman. A cottage of five rooms cost then $11.71, and now we have to pay $11.71 for a four-riKm tlat." "Another trouble," sioke up a man who had been listening, "was the tyranny of th bosses. We had too many, and they were incompetent. There was loo much red tap alout the whole concern. Mr. Pullman wa an autocrat. He never came to Pullman without from twelve to twenty ieople at his heels, and no workman dared speak to him. We had to give complaints to a boss and he sent it up the line, until at last It reached Mr. Pullman, who couldn't see how things could be helped, anyway. To put it roughly, the head of the dog was too far from the tail." "I wish you would state my case," spoke another man. "It has been claimed by Mr. Pullman that his workmen were not required to live in Pullman. 1 am what they call an Inside wood-finisher. I used to mako $3.23 a day, and 1 was cut to $1.4i. Then I moved out of Pullman. 1 got a five-roomed cottage for $1, and then I was laid off. There was no work for me. When I asked why, the manager told me if 1 would move back to Pullman 1 would not have to los a day's work. It was either occupy a Pullman house or do without work." "I was also reduced." said a newcomer, "from $:! a day to $1..V. My rent was $3.."i and at one pay day I had only been given thirteen days' work. Aftei they took out my rent I had a check for one cent to live on for two weeks and keep my wife and child." "I am a vestibule builder." sid a man who had spoken at the meeting. "You know the vestibule of the Pullman cars. I used to be paid $12 and $13 previous to the first quarter in 1S33. Then I was cut from $13 to to. Perhaps you remember neein the world's fair Pullman cars. For the first J received for vestibule building $11", or $." an end. We had even cuts during the time we were building them, and for the ast built I received $H or $J) an end. Just the same amount of labor and tim was put on them, but that was the reduction, from $110 to $40." "I wish to tell you. Miss Bly, about th gas." interjected another man. "Contrarv to the city ordinance governing the price of gas. which places the lin-nt at $1.23 per.l. feet, Mr. lHillman charges his workmen $2.23, and we were notified that we could have gas at $1.73 per 1.0"0 feet If we rente! from the company a gas stove at f0 cents per month. The gas stove is an ordinarv one, with two lids, costing at most 73 cents for a stove, but we had to pay Mr. Pullman continually iio cents a month rent for one In order to have our gas $1.73 per l) feet. Instead of $2.23." "Don't forget the water tax." frURgesteJ, a newcomer. "Mr. Pullman paid 4 cents, and at the very smallest figuring charted his people 11 cents. I estimated that over and above everything be cleared annually on the water nlone $4."".,om." "I don't think any department of work had a worse reduction than mine, and I'll cive you a signed statement if you want it," said another man. "I put washstands in the cars. Two years ago for fitting out a, car with washstands I got $12.30. and I waa cut to $2.70." "That's no worse than mine," spoke an other, pressing forward. "I work at general repairs; that is, repairlr.fr cars. 1 used to get for repairing one car $23o, and I was cut to Ji3 a car. Mr. Pullman has made tho statement that three-quarters of his work; was contract. I can swiar that when , the biggest and heaviest cut was made It was all his own work. I can swear to that, and when the strike came on seven-eighths oC the work was his own." Siicccnn and failure. Chicago Tribune. Before the war, and back in New Yorlc State, Charles Gardiner and Oeorpe M. Pullman were fellow-apprentices at the cabinet maker's bench. When Pullman came to Chicago and engaged in the houseraising business Gardiner came with him, and when Pullman started to build his first sleeping car Gardiner was his assistant and confidant. Subsequently Gardiner was tha foreman of Pullman's first shop, and many of the early patents and improvements. It is said, were the result of his suggestion and creation. Drink was Gardiner's only enemy. Through it he lost hts place with, his old companion and fellow-apprentice. Time and again he would be taken back to the shops, only to be discharged for drunkenness. There has ever been a kindly feeling for Gardiner in the Pullman works. He has lived at Kensington and Pullman ever since the towns were built, and dally went Into the shops and looked at the men working, begged a few dimes and went to the nearest saloon, where he spent the remainder of the day. He talked but little, and preferred to sip his glass by himself. Yesterday morning, when arraigned for drunkenness, he stood before Justice Bobbins, hi hands trembled so from the effect of drink he could not support himself, and an officer had to hold him up. He pleaded guilty to habitual inebriety, and was sent to the Washlngtonlan Home. DIckliiKon'w Sacred Itule. Detroit Tribune. A battered Bohemian journalist once weni to Don M.

Dickinson, the close friend of men in power, listened. When the threadbare Bohemian journalist finished, there was 4 silence in that office, deep and vast, for long time. Then Dickinson turned in hU chair, shook his head, and saia just live words. They were: "I cannot break my rules." Poor OIl C'arllle. New York Mail and Express.
