er. The local overseer of the poor has teen appealed to,, but there Is a limit to what he can lo. I cannot help them very much at present. fo. unless relief cornea from some other source. I shall either have to call an extra session of the Legislature to make special appropriations or else issue an appeal to the humane people of the tftate to sive bread to your recent employe. It seems to me that you would prefer to relieve the situation yourself, especially as it has cost the State upwards of J."ji),('i.i to protect your property and as toth State and the public have suffered enormous loss and expense on account of disturbances that KTew out of the trouble between your company and its workmen." After making a personal visit to Pullman Governor Altgeld to-day addressed a letter to Mr. Pul.man, saying: "I examined the conditions at Pullman yestepMy, visited even the kitchens and back rooms of m iny of the people. 1 learn from your manager that last spring there were people on the pay roll, i'esterd.iy there were Z.'i at work, but over six hundred of thee are new men, so that only uiout of the old employes have been t tken back, thus leaving over one tftousand of the old employes who have not been taken back. A few hundred have left. The remainder have applied for work, but were told that they were not needed. These are utterly destitute. The relief committee has exhausted its resources. It seems to me jour company cinnot afford to have me appeal to tne charity and humanity of tne rotate to save the lives of your old employes. Four-fifths of those people are women and children. No matter what caused this distress, it must be met. If you will allow me. I will make this suggestion: If you had shut uown your works last fall when you say business was poorer you would not have expected to get any rent from your tenants; now, while a dollar is a larjce sum to each of these people, all the rent now due Is a comparatively small matter to you. If you will cancel all rent to Oct. 1 you would be as well off as if you had shut down. This would enable those who are at work to meet their most pressing wants. Then, if you cannot give work to all, work some half time, so that all can at leist get something to eat for their families. Thi3 will give Immediate relief to the whole situation, and then by degrees assist as many to go elsewhere as desire to do so, and all. to whom you cannot give work. In this way something like a normal condition could be re-established at Pullman before winter, and you would not be out any more than you would have been had you shut down a year ago." MR. PULLMAN'S REPLY. Mr. Pullman replied at length, making reference to Governor Altgsld's declination of the escort of Vice President WIckes yesterday, which fact Pullman regretted. Mr, Iuliman then continued: "As an indication of the importance of the aid of local knowledge In making essential discriminations I may say to you that I have the best reason for believing that the husbarol of a vire who is published u.s ieprcsentlng her family to you yesterday as In need of help, drew more than $1.3tX) of his savings from a tank on July 'Z last for the purpose, he said, of buying lots. While it has not been repr s--nted to the officers of this company by any persons concerned that there was any suh extended distress at Pullman as was represented for the first time by the extraordinary method of a published telegram to ou in your official capacity. I do not doubt there are many casta of need caused by the refusal of the employes for more than two and one-half months to earn offered wagc-s of more than $300,000: and that suoa cases have been increased and made more severe by the persistence ofmor? than 6. of our employes, of whom about 2.V) lived In Pullman, In refusing to apply for their old places after the strike was practically over, and after they were publicly invited on July IS to resume their work, until by the gradual coming In of new men during the whole montn their places have been filled and the full force engaged for all work on hand. As to those who are pot at work, the canceling of their rents Is not a question to which attention should first be given at the present Juncture, if their pressing needs are as you suppose them to be. Your suggestion that the ,work should be divided so that a sufficient number of our present employes should be put on half time in order to give at least half-time work for all was tried last winter. The result has been that the gross earnings of various individual employes were last wdnter so small as to give an erroneous impression with reference to the s utliciency of the rate of wages. The policy of the company is now to employ only as many men as it Is possible to furnish work for on full time." To this the (Governor replied, substantially: "I see that your company refuses to do iiny thing towards relieving the situation at Pullman. If you will make the round I made, go into the houses of these people, meet them face to face and talk with them, you will L convinced that none of them bal $1.3ft) or any other i-um of money a few weeks ago. It Is not my business to fix the moral responsibility in this case. Tnere are nearly six thousand people suffering for the want of food. They were .your employes, and four-fifths of them are women and children. Some of these people have worked for you more than ten years. I assumed that even if they were wrong- and bad been foolish, you would not be willing to see them perish. I also assumed that, as the State had just been to a large expanse to protect your property, you would not want to have the public shoulder the burden of relieving distress in your town. As you refuse to do anything to relieve the suffering in this case, I am compelled to anneil to the humanity of the people of Illinois to do so." John C. I"onneIlv. chief deputy Cnited Stits marshal, testified to the number and duality of the men employed as deputies. "At to the acts of violence, were they rorr.Tv't hv rail-cd men so far as you l.row?" he was asked. "S". '-. AH the violence and burning of c'"-s thit I sw at the tockyards was ri ::: by a lot of tough 'kids about eighteen vprs oM or a little old?r "Were there ever any reports of drunken- ' nru .ipon the deputv marshals?" "The rejorts of drunkenness among the drmr'es concerned those employed by the rilroad companies. They wore the same st.T our men did. Tht comnanies wanted thcri to r on treins. protect mail and r-rpiryf4. Th men selected by the railmr.d oom!ar.ies had no instructions from our olllce." Many Ilea Discharged. OMAHA. Neb.. Aug. 21. The Nebraska railroads are reducing forces. This is partly due to the draught, though it has been goin?; on in some lines for some time. A Burlington offctil to-day. In speaking about the wholesale discharge of employes now gv!nj; on. said: "I believe It would be a conservative estimate to say that 1.200 men on the Burlington system have been discharged sir.ee June 1. During July the greatest number of employes were dismissed from the service through no fault of their own. but because business would not warrant their further continuance."

I)einrtmriit. ftyccial to the Indianapolis Journal. KOKOMO. Ind.. Aug. 21. Kokomo is fighting her city campaign over again throush sn effort on the part of the "liberal" element to Install the metropolitan police system. In the May municipal contest party lines were almost wholly obliterated. The Republican nominees for Mayor and marshal. A. B. Kirkpatrick and W. H. Bennett, made their light on law and order issues and were elected. They were opposed by the saloons, gamblers and the sporting element generally regardless of politics and by those who believed In a liberal and reasonably wideopen" town. Knowing that the new administration, whlod goes into power in two weeks, will c'.csa every saloon at 11 o'clock and Sundays. eonlicate the gambling outfits and compel a decent respect for the Sabbath, th liberals are making a desperate effort to shear the Mayor and marshal of their power by bringing in the metropolitan police system. By the latter system a Democratic board of commissioners appointed by the Governor would control the city in the Interest of the saloon element. Yesterday a petition signed by seventyfive taxpayers was presented to Mayor Thorne asking him to order a census taken to determine whether or not Kokomo had the required 10,000 population. This was met bv p. remonstrance of 1,000 names. The 1S" census gives Kokomo $,'22. and now It has just about l,(Mto. Mayor Thorne refused to take any preliminary steps toward securing the change and the liberals will resort to the courts for a writ of mandamus compelling him to act. Attorneys here are divided regarding the Mayor's duties In the premises. Some contend the statute is mandatory, while others believe it only discretionary. The feeling between the two elements is very bitter and a long and hotly contested legal struKKle will probably follow. After Three Trial. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. COLUMBUS, Ind..

ABBOTT KNOCKED OUT
i:GLISII CHAMPION LIGHTWEIGHT BESTED II V JACK EVERHART. Forced to Give Vp In the TrventyFifth Round After llring Floored Half a Dozen Time. NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 21. There were five thousand spec la tors seated in the o...r.pie Ciub, to-nighi at 9:13 o'clock, when time was called for the twenty-five round scientific glove contest between Stanton Abbott, champion light weight of England, and Jack Everhart, of this city, for a purse of $1,500. Abbott commenced the fight by landing a sharp body blow. Some heavy fighting followed near the ropes, Abbott doing the better hitting. In a clinch honors were easy. Both men landed their rights and Abbott retired to his corner with a mark on the left eye. In the second round Everhart received a left In the stomach, the Englishman seeming to confine his fighting principally to the body. Both landed blows on the head. Abbott landed a left on the face and ran away from a return. The Englishman scored two lefts as the gong ended the round. The fight continued wdth but slight variations until the eighth round, when Abbott, m a hot rally in the center of the ring, apparently, had the best of it, and frequently landed "in his opponent's face. In the ninth and tenth rounds there was some hot fighting and in the eleventh round Abbott had much the best of it, knocking Everhart down with a left in the face. From this time up to the twentieth round Abbott was in the best condition. From the twenty-second to the twentyfourth round the light was furious, Everhart improving in condition while Abbott looked tired. In the twenty-fifh round Abbott was knocked out. ufter having been knocked down half a dozen times. During the last part of the contest Everhart fouled Abbott several times, but no notice was taken of It by the officials. Corbett' Condition) Accepted. SIOUX CITY. Ia., Aug. 21.

A telegram was also r.eceived from Richard K. Fox, who, It is thought, Is speaking for Jackson. The club officials think Jackson demands a little too much, and say they are willing to deposit the money necessary to cover training expenses at once, together with a reasonable forfeit if the fight fails for any reason for which they are responsible, and to put up the entire $2T.0u0 within a reasonable time if the men sign articles to light here. The telegram from Richard K. Fox reads as follows: "Will you deposit the $25,000 offered for the Corbett-Jackson fight with me?

It has been stated more than once, and almost as often denied, that the money losses f-uffered in the United States during the period of depression caused by Democratic tariff juggling have amounted to more than a million dollars a day. In hard, cold fact the loss has been much In excess of the enormous sum suggested by that statement just how much It would be impossible to conclude. Some figures have been gathered, however, and are given below. Their careful perusal will no doubt convince the reader that the aggregate loss has been several instead of a comparatively insignificant single million dollars a day. For Instance, take the bank clearances of fifty-five cities in the United States. The figures below were collected by Dradstreet's. the great commercial agency, and can therefore be relied on as being entirely accurate, unprejudiced and nonpartisan. The Democratic administration came Into power March 4, 1S93, and the year Immediately following that date is therefore taken, as the first year of the country's existence under Democratic domination, for comparison -Aith the corresponding and Immediately preceding twelve months, during which the government was In Republican hands. In order that the reader may study the matter somewhat in detail, Bradstreet's figures for each month of the years from and including April to and including March of 1S92-3 and 1&93-4 are given.

It will be seen that the loss of clearances in the Democratic year was $13,6sO,814,6oO over thirteen and one-half billions. It will help to explain the baleful significance of this table to state that it represents the distribution of over $200 less money throughout the United States for every Individual man, woman and baby, native born, naturalized and alien, In the entire country. It means that considerably more than $1,000,000,000 less was circulated through business channels in this Republic evry month of the first year of Democratic rule than was circulated during the correspondingmonth In the preceding year of Republican rule. It represents a loss, of itself, of several times more than I1.CJ0.000 a day. for a billion Is a thousand millions, and therefore the business men of the United states handled a thousand million dollars' worth less cf soods every month, or $ao,00O.OJ0 kiss every day during the year beginning April 1. 1SD3. than they did during Comparative figures for the three months of April, May and June, in 1892, 1893 'and 1S94, will also be interesting, because they show that the clearances so far In 1S'J4 have been even smaller than they were in 1&)3 in other words, that we are living in a period of cumulative disaster. Thus, the clearances for April. 1892. were $3,083,410,784; for the same month. 1S93, they were $4.May, 1S93, $5,259,329,352: for May, 1S94. 53, 0.809,561. For June, 1S92, they were $1,931.513.923; June. 1893. J4.529.538.341; June. 1894. $t.576,315,339. The total for the three months of 1892 was ?$15,044.889,037; for the three months of 1893. $14,715,160,559: for the three months of this year. $11,133,970,328. While the aggregate shrinkage of business for these three months in 1S93 below the same feriod of 1S92 was less than a billion dolars the business done during the same period of 1894 was almost four billions less than in 1892. THE AWFITL FAILURE LIST. Figures taken from Bradstreet's concerning failures will doubtless be found quite as interesting and significant as those given of the bank clearances. These figures are from the reports of four years 1S90, 1891, 1892 and 1833, the first three years of the McKinley law. In 1S90 there were 10.673 failures, the total liabilities being $175,032,816; in 1S91 there were 12,394 failures, with liabilities of $193, 178.000; in 1892 there were 10,272 failures, with liabilities of Jlf-8 -595,248. It will be seen that the tendency in amount of liabilities was so far downward. Jn 1S93. however, the first year of I)err.ocr?tie domination, when it wa evident that Congress and the chief executive hid decided tnt the McKinley law must go, there were 15.503 failures, wit" !'-- -ties of $582,153,076 more than $200,000,000 r-'ore thn w?.s lost by tailures in or about two-thirds of p. million do'ir- i Iav. These figures seem almost Incredible, but they are true and cannot be vip. I out. Rradstreet's analysis of them is interesting, but cannot be given in full. It brings out these facts: "The proportion ot those failing in 18J3. reoi tea in good credit, was fully 27 per cent., more than four times that in preceding years. It further apiears that those who lapel in 1893. while reckoned in very good credit or higher, numbered more than three times as many as in 1892. Again, failures due to disaster precipitated by stringency, financial crisis and panic, numbered, in 1893. 3.463. the liabilities In this c!a bein $173.542.000 almost one-half of the total liabilities for the year, and more than six times the corresponding total In 1892." OTHER INTERESTING LOSSES. The decrease in value of live stock alone in the United States In 1S93 below that of 1892 was almost a million dollars a day. Only one class of stock, milch cows, increased in value, the detailed figures being, according to the Department of Agriculture, as follows: Value Per Head Decrease Stock. mi. 1VM. in Valup. Horses JS1.22 $17.83 $13.39 Mules 70.S f.2.17 ft.51 Milch cows 21.73 21.77 .01 Oxn and other cattle 15.24 US .5S Sheep 2.66 l.!8 .; Swine C.41 5.98 .43 Increase. Th entire loss to the farmers of the country in shrinkage of live stock values was $312.2;6.495. divided as follows: Horses.

The American Protective Tariff League has gone carefully into the figures concerning the loss in value of sheep and wool, and they make the total loss in the two directions nearly J50.ono.noi, or I5S.G5 hard cash lost on an average to each fanner in the country who was so unfortunate as to own sheep when the Kovernment was given over to the party that favors foreigners and hates Americans.

Rut enough has been given to make it clear to every reader that the statement that Uncle Sam has list a million dollars a day since the Democrats came Into power is an exceedingly moderate one. DEMOCRATIC DISHONOR. The Question to Re Settled at h Iolln Xot Kronomlrnl, litit Moral. The Outlook. It is a tariff conceived in corruption an-t passed in dishonor. There are three fatal objections to the Senate bdl. It violates the plighted word of the Democratic party. It does this to enhance the profits of wealthy corporations. And there is giod reason to believe that this result has leen purchasl and paid for if not directly, then indirectly. For the feeble pretense at Investigation and the report of "not proven" have rather confirmed than dispelled the publio suspicion of corruption. Such protection is bath a "fraud" an! a "robbery." The pmy dishonor is not lessened by the promise to pass In the House separate bills making sugar, coal and iron free for the purport? of "putting the Senate in a hole." A triple dishonor is not s easily atoned! nor will public indignation be so easily appeased. Nor is it reMevei by saying that this is "the best the party can do." In that fact lies the dishonor of the party. The issue to be met in th? fall elections is not economical, but moral. The Outlook does not demand a "tarifT for revenue only" nor denounce "Republican protection as a fraud. M but it demands the honorable fulfillment of party pledges, and denounce as fraudulent men who characterize protection as a fraud in 1S92 and enact it in 1S14. Do Yon Sunburn f If So, lloivf New York Press. The human cuticle is a queer phenomenon. Rooks on physiology tell us that everybody's skin is like everybody else's, and yet how differently we sunburn. This seems to be a trivial observation but think of it. The sun will make some men, otherwise unattractive, or simply negative. I-ositlvely handsome. It will stain their faces a rich, dark chocolate, giving a Giaour-like effect to a peaceful countenance and rendering It attractive ani romantic. On the other hand, it will disfigure a normally handsome man for the whole period of his vacation, burning his skin to the color of brick dust, and engendering pin blisters and an ultimate peeling of the skin, which resuits in a hideous disfigurement. To such a man cold cream is a mockery and toil?t vinesar an insult. He looks like a fright and feels like a freak, and the other fellow his rival, possibly is only getting better lookinjr. with every day of exposure. Who s-iya there are no compensations in this world? The President' I'onltlon. New York Mail and Express. What humble citizen of these United States, possessing a clear conscience,' would change places with Grover Cleveland today? History fails to afford a parallel with the humiliation and degradation of the President and his administration. He has no alternative before him, so far as personal dignity and honor are concerned. Veto or no veto, he is guilty of the perfidy of which he so freely accused others. His political pledges are In direct opposition to his personal promises. He has in turn repudiated both, and consequently has left himself no soft spot on which to fall in the last extremity. In any event, he must, with his own hand, place the stamp of insincerity and perfidy upon his pompous professions of devotion to the principle of tariff reform. If he should veto the bill, then the motives of Speaker Cri.-p and Chairman Wilson yesterday in making a full surrender to the demands of the Senate will b entirely inexplicable.
