THE dNDJAKATOLIS jOUltNAL, t;ATUHDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1891.

tloa has been one continuous ovation. Karly this morning crowds besieged him in his car. and an impriraiptu recepilon wis accorded. From till noon a reception was held at the hotel. This afternoon Mr. Kced addressed an out-door meeting at which the attendance was estimated at 13.GcQ. lie said, in part: "The conditions which confront us are serious ones. Iiy the last census we, a. a ration, are credited with a wealth of ?u7,- , ttOMUOo. Where did we get it? It is the result of the industry and savings of 7),iv,ouO people, whv have not only raved that vast amount, but have lived pretty well beside, But In the past ye.irs we , have experienced what if a nw phase In the history of the American peiple. A, krgo portion of them have been idle. I'ro-' . duetion and ravinss by them have practically ceased, beyond immediate wants of trade, and they have ceased to enjoy the comforts of olden time?. Thank tiol we have accumulated enough in fairly years of Republican adminlstrat iun to stand the reverses of the past two years and two xrore of Grover, but we have suffered some of the wants of civilization, things which were formerly luxuries, but are now necesFitles. It is time to call a halt; we want to add to that VJT.C.OuO.OOu Instead of eating into it. "I have no epithets to apply to the Democratic party, and if I should try 1 don't think an improvement could be made on the language used by the leaders of the Democratic party. It is a question of a business policy, of business sense, rather than epithets. We can't save the whole ship, but we can save some of the "Wreck and we can add to that until we have built a ship with bigger masts and a fctancher hull than ever stalled the ocean tefore. Business needs certainty, it is not KamMIng. A new system has set in, and business strives to go on lines of absolute certainty. The present duty of the hour ' Is to charge the conditions with which we nre confronted. I am not proinsr to pay who Is the cause of It. I am afraid it is because of the foolishness of all of the American people; they maJe a little slip and are now being handsomely punished for it. Under the American Constitution we can't have repentance at once, but the t U-nill-runt and beautiful silence of the President Is conducive to righteousness of Itself. "The I?mocratic leaders do not mean peace and quiet. Chairman Wilson savs ft if Just the beginning of the battle. Mr. rnevelan 1 says they have pained a vantage rround for a new attack. Senator Mills, from that great manufacturing State of Texas, says they have taken the citadel ind are going back for the rest of the town. T don't defend the Senate biil. but the difference between that and the WUson Mil Is great, and is a decent difference, too. Protection to American Industries . rounded on the sro! gense of the American people will renrdy the condition that now confronts us. We are now getting some Fchoti of experience, nd if you want any more I tan tell you where you can pet it. Vou wanted m of God's arguments and . got them. One advantage of .the ari rument of emerience Is that you don't forget ihern. The Democratic party, torn nd di.-iievoled -as It U to-dny. is ready lo furnish promise. Notwithstanding that ihey have thousands of notes in bank and marked 'r.o fund.". they are trying to pass I hem on the American people. The Repub!can party his not always kept to what t should haw done, but it has given the rountry its bet laws, founded on the ?ood sense of the American people." Mr. Iteed rpoke for ove- an hour.

Vice President Steveneon's speech was confined almost exclusively to a review of the work of the Democrats in the last Congreis. He attacked bitterly the principles of McKlnleylsm and characterized the work of the Democrats In Conrress as "a struKKle of the people against monopoly and greed, fostered and made powerful by more than thirty years of Republican legislation. He did not discuss State issues in any respect and his only reference to Senator Hill was in hl3 concluding words: "Again the lines of battle are drawing, the Issues clearly presented. AH eyes are turned to the Democracy of the Empire State. Let the ranks be closed for victory in this hour of peril to party and country. Then it will ned no prophet to foretell the triumphs under the matchless leader who at all times and under all clrurastances declared 'I am a Democrat' David U. Hill. The preat body of which he is a member contains no abler Senator. In leadership and debate he knows no superior. In honoring him you honor yourselves and you honor this great Common wealth. SINGGRLY A5 ECKELS. Jin Editor and n "Financier" Talk to I'lttabarflr Democrat. ' PITTSBURG, Oct, K.-Thls was Democracy's night in this city. Candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania, William M. Slngerly, and J. Eckels, Controller of the Currency of the United States, were greeted by an audience In Carnegie Hall seldom outnumbered by . the Republicans . in this district at their big meetings. Previous to the meeting a parade, made up of the many Democratic clubs and citizens, headed by the guests, 'marched through the principal streets, greeted by enthusiastic cheers and rel lire. On reaching the hall the entrance of Messrs. Singerly and Eckels was a signal for applause. Mr. .Gingerly was the first speaker of the evening, in substance, he said: "We are dodging no issues. We are hesitating on no question. We have no apologies to make for our party, its candidates or Its platform. We are proud of Its record. First of ail. tne Democracy killed the force bill, and if it had done nothing else its record would have been good for tnat a. one. In Philadelphia and Pittsburg, while they do not Intend to carry the election by bayonets, they have announced that they will have tfo.coo in the former and 40,ou here, and thoy propose to do it by padded registry lists. .Qur next pride is the repeal cf the Sherman silver law. The third uct of grace was the passage of the Wlion bill. (Great applause.) It was the first honest ?tep toward tariff reform since lc62. Tne Wilson bill la no: yet two months old wnd yet there la no part of tho United States that has not tound some reviving pulsation in the tide of trade. The McKlniey bill was not a month oil when the country was racked with labor troubles. and in the course of its existence there were 1.200 strikes." In referring to the A. P. A., Mr. Slngerly feu id he wanted the American flag to be the protection of American citizens everywhere. but said he want3 the flag to give every American the right to worship Ood us he pleases. "I want no secret society, no asrvissln to Mde in the Fhadov; of the bedside and dictate to mothers how their offspring shall ll.sp their prayer," he aald. "We want you to stamp it cut and grind It under your feet. We want no man for chief executive of this State who. when confronted with this question only answers that he will enforce the Constitution as he finds it. Damn such cowardice." ThIs sentiment was greeted with a roar of applause. After Mr. Gingerly concluded. Hon. J. H. Cckeis was introduced. He prefaced hi3 speech by saying he wl?hM to discuss in a iplrit of absolute fairness matters of common Interest. Referring to a recent speech ly Mr. Reed in Chicago, he said: "I deny, upon one hand, that the country is sitting In nackcloth and ashes, and. upon the other, that the rendition which c haracterizM the months of ISXi an 1 the tarly months of la due more to ihe Democratic party than to that party to thich Mr. Ueed acknowledges political fealty. The thov.ghful .iulent of the financial .nd business nations of the past year, who will rise above pirty and view these Questions In the light of business principles, mu?: unavoidably be drawn to theconclusion that the two great cause of the distressing condition of affairs wh!ch T7e have witnessed all over this land, willed t-i turn- have Injured the undertakings of xh capitalist ar.J withdrawn from the latorer his daily bread, were the Sherman silver act and the McKlnley tariff law of lv). Mr. Cleveland, upon leaving otilce In lvXJ. hvl turned over to the Incoming administration a treasury full to overtlowlnr: upon his return to crace he received from President Harrison a treasury almost depleted. The conditions which had slightly manifested themselves In immediately after the passage of the Sherman uct, fjund full fruition immediately after the condition of the treasury and its gold reervfr became. In known. Unfortu nately, however, the treasury was ?o barren of funds that the administration could not. as was done in 1S7S, an I again In ISil and and, to the extent of ninety millions in purchase bonds, and thus relieve the monetary stringency which was up:n the country. Deprived of juch means, the panic assumed such prorortlons that within a period between May 4 and Oct. 3 more than thre hundred and fifty millions of Individual and bank deposits wen? withdrawn from th national banks alone. To meet this condition the banks were compslled to call In loans and discount, thus taking from the active channels of trarte an immense amount of money. As the withdrawals continued the monetary stringency increased, a.vl the effects were no ticeable in every l.n of business, and par ticularly In eve y manufacturing enter Trie. Happily for the country, the Saer - nun act was repeale.l, and Kince th date lL 1U repeal the Interests raojt affected

IHii. the loans and discounts have shown the enormous Increase cf f?MO.00M(, more than sixty millions of which have leen since the passage of the tnriff measure of August." On the subject of the tariff bill Mr. Eckels s id it wis not wnat many Democrats enprctel or desired, but was an Improvement upon any ever su??ested by the Rerub'Jcans. "The effect of this legislation." he ?aid. "is already manifest in those rekindled fires that give this city, as elsewhere, substantial prosporlt3". It has set in motion the wheels and spindles In many mills. It has quickened the pulsation of every branch of trade an! commerce. It has destroyed the discontent which prevailed In the vast army of the unemployed, anci given t the laborer the employment which he Ins so long desired. It is a law that. a3 it continues in operation, will contribute more and more to the welfare of the American people, and so Intrench itse'.f in their favor that even the protectionist himself will not dare to advocate a return to McKlnley legislation."

The house was crowded and he was given a most enthusiastic reception. He spoke for two hours, following, to some extent, the general lines of his speech last week. He drew attention to the fact that ours was not the only country in which, during the past year, business depression and disaster had prevailed. England had experienced much of It, partly from - causes aiTectinsr the two countries alike. Want of confidence had checked enterprise and paralyzed credit in America, the result of evil systems of taxation and currency. When the party reFponslble for this condition was asked for a remedy, its policy has been to embarrass a Democratic executive in hi? efforts to Five the country and free it from the effects of the unwise legislation of the Republican party. Democratic Proposition Rejected. Special to 'the Indianapolis Journal. MATTOOX, 111., Oct. M. The unusual activity of the Democratic committeemen of Coles county observed the past few days is explained by the well-authenticated statement made public by the Populist candidates, who say that the Democrats made them a proposition that if they would fuse with them John Fryer, of Charleston, Dem--oeratfe candidate for Judge, would be dropped and Hayes, Populist, supported. Rryant and Harlow, Populist candidates for ehfrifr and clerk, were to be given deputyships if the Democrats should succeed. In adiltlon to this the Democrats were to pay the Populists $1.0-X cash. This proposition from the Democratic manager was not accepted, as the Populists well know there is no chance for the election of a tingle man on that ticket this fall, and they are running their campaign for glory rather than money this yean In AY II son's District.

ENTOMliED JIIa'EUS ALIVE. Communication Established by Ilnmlu er tils; nn the Side of the Shaft. IRON FOUNTAIN. Mich., Oct. 26. Every effort was made to-day to rescue the eleven men entombed in the Pewabic mine, but they have not yet been reached. It is known, however, that some of the miners are alive, but who and how many will not be known until morning. Communication was established by hammering on the rock that was pierced by the shaft. The men are well supplied with air. v They have now been imprisoned over thirty hours, and their release will not be effected for fix or more hours yet. Superintendent Brown Is certain that at least eight of the men have escaped uninjured. The others may have been caught under the failing timbers and rocks and crushed to death. Around the shaft are gathered large crowds of relatives, including the wives of the imprisoned miners, and the uncertainty of the fate of loved ones makes the scene a particularly heartrending one.

THE CIVIL SERVICE

ITS i:TKSIO AtlVOCATKIl III C03IMissio.xmt rooosi:vi:lt. The IIInokninilInr of Government Km pluyen for Political Purpose Denounced fn StroiiK TeriiiN. WASHINGTON', Oct. 26. The extension of the civil service and the general political assessment cases were discus.sed to-day by Civil-service Commissioner Roosevelt in an Interview with a reporter. Mr! Roosevelt said: "Hvery fall, as the election comes, the need of radical and sweeping extension of the classified service becomes more and more apparent. All of the government per--vice not under the present civil-service law forms a vast bribery chest, by means of which is gained an unhealthy stimulus to political activity of that very class in a community which we should be most sorry to see Interested in politics. The enormous bulk of officers have really no connection whatever with politics. Their duties are in no respect political, and they should be appointed wholly without regard to political situations and kept just as long as they do their duty well. It is mere nonsense, and dishonest nonsense, to say that better service can be obtained by h ;vlng in subordinate positions men who aia of the same pofitlcal party as the head of an administration. The railway mail service can be cited as proof of this. No department of the government gives greater satisfaction to the public at large, yet the great bulk of railway mall employes now are men who were appointed during Mr. Harrison's presidency or in Mr. Cleveland's first term. All those appointed by the present administration were drawn from our last list, as has been the case for the past Ave years. Those entering the service under the civil-service law, including Republicans, Democrats, Prohibitionists, Populists and nug.vumps, do so wholly without regard of politics. and all are kept on the consideration of emcient service. It is not of the least consequence which of the employes believe in protection and which In free trade, which for free coinage and which against irte coinage of silver. As a matter of fact, nobody can tell anything about their views ?w .the, subJect- I''rom the performance of their duties no one could tell a Republican from a Democrat. The rigid enlorctnunt of the civil-service law is the rtason v.'hy there has been no deterioration in the serV . tn the chanees of administration. , f ,rest of the government service should be treated in just the same way. 0t only the postoffice employes but postmasters themselves should be appointed without th lMt Internal revenue office should V classified' alJwLt: men appointed regardless of polLwcs' , e ln(llai school service is another object lesson of nonpartisan service. Ilith&J ter ,every administration charge Z7tZr,5.i have, been sweeping changes in tne rwiiServIcat Inaian assies lor purely politcal considerations. Rut this has r.ot been so in the last ten years, because the servicen? Jiw haS been entorcea ln tnt S5J;C? fanJ, because recently that law was administered by Superintendent lleilman as ?heaieuer.e l bey in the spIrIt 33 '!'at h.s ben going on recently in fvltlrff rows the iniquity of the spoll3 !ys!f,r? There one f the congressional candidates has actually sought to levy a political assessment. amounting to a month salary on the employes of the internal revenue office. Similar efforts have been made to assess postoftice employes. The money was sought wholly without regard to the political affiliations of emplct-'g if inflow piece,.f bla,ckmail- and Ju as Ifil a H knocking down clerks on the nihway. It seems hard to understand where an Intelligent community will tolero!lif. f ro? an abU3e wnere a n deliberately plunders a set of public servants that he may pet funds wherewith to debauch voters. The commission recently had T?vffrUJSVa?C fKth? recorder of iked, raylor, and during the investigation it was hTT1111?1 wherever the clvil-servlce law did not obtain in Washington a condition of actual terror existed in the public service, and that Janitors, porters ana ad other emp.oyes were forced to pay politicians for places and pay to retain them. Anything more degrading, more servile, more vicious cannot be imagined, "We have had a great many public men attack the merit system, but there has ben never yet any argument advanced against in avor f .tlie ?po113 system that was both honest and intelligent. There are honest me who are yet prejudiced, too ignorant or too unobterving to understand the; fruitful evils of a corrupt public service administered In a spirit of base partisanship. 7 .Ireuare JPlen7 ot dishonest politicians, both shrewd and unprincipled, who for their own base ends clamor against the merit system and seek to excite prejudice against w Hut Jhe,re i3 not a single American, honestly desiring the welfare of the country, who can look tor a moment at the two systems and consider the principles for which they stand without becoming a hearty ally of and believer In the new methods. i'"ri? laAV 13 steadHy making headway: the classified service is extending all the time. The commission, however, is necessarily reQuired to be active ln supervising the extension of the law. This is notably the case in the newly-classified postoffices, where there is always a hitch, it being difficult to get the law well observed at the outset. Take Indiana, for instance. Indianapolis has been classified for many years. There was a practical failure ln having the law absolutely enforced during .Mr. Cleveland's first administration. Afthe beginning of Mr. Harrison's .administration a rigid observance of the law had been accomplished. On the other hand, during the present administration there has been great difficulty in a number of smaller Indiana postofllces In which postmasters have made every e.Tort sometimes successfully, to evade and nullify the law. Several of these cases are now under consideration. The commission is not only now InvestlRatlng what is being done ln some of these offices, but It i3 also keeping a vigilant eye on political assessment matters. The law, unfortunately, is not strong enough. It ought to le strengthened so as to prohibit any one from making a political contribution to a government official. The latter would then be left free to contribute entirely of their own accord At present demands from hlsrh officers of Important committees are often complied with by clerks because they know thes officials are in the same party organization with their own inferior officers. "The commission has some amusing experiences with certain 'chronic opponents. There ar certain men in the Senate and lower House who delight in making charges when there is no chance to answer. but who never take up any challenge of the commission when it convicts them of misstatement, and who when making misstatements avoid the Issue by simply falling to resiond to any letter of correction from the commission." The Civil Service Commission has received from a postmaster in Washington state a copy of a circular from the Democratic committee levying an assessment of $" on each postmaster. It ha the 'heading of the committee and Is signed by Charles be France, secretary. It states that "The committee having had under consideration the necessity and ways and mean.) of raising funds for the campaign, has concluded that those woo are enjoying the benefits of Democratic success in the past should contribute to the exiense3 of the present campalm.

J SCARED BY SMALLPOX GOVKUXMHXT KMPLOYI3S AT WASHINGTON HADLY FRIGHTENED. 4 Interior Department Closed on Ac count of the Plajgue Lnw Clerk Parker, of Indiana, a Victim. WASHINGTON, Oct. 26. The Interior Department was closed to-day on account of the smallpox scare. When it was announced, that James J. Parker, of Indiana, a law clerk in the division where the other cases were reported, was a victim of the disease, there was a panic among the employes. The fright of the clerks was increased by the fact that Messenger Owens has a bad case of the plague. Owens is the messenger to the chief clerk and it was part of his duty to distribute documents to the several bureaus of the department. In tnij way he came into contact with about every branch of the service under Secretary Hoke Smith and may have been the cause of a spread of the disease. Dr. Woodward, the health officer of the District, made art urgent appeal to Secretary Smith to close the entire Interior Department in the Interest of public health and in accordance with the request an order; was issued this afternoon closing every bureau of the department. The employes will have a holiday until Monday. Those who have been particularly exposed to infection by contact with the people oi the aflllcted law division have been granted leave for twelve, days. The department will be opened Monday, but no clerk will be admitted .who has net been vaccinated and, meanwhile, the building will be fumigated. This applies to th(? Secretary's olilce, Census Othce, Patent Oilice.

It Is assumed that the family, too, will be stricken with the disease. There is every reason to hipe that in no case will the disease have a fatal issue. HACKS DECLARED OFF.

NO MAN-OWNS THEM TUB STRAXGiE STORY OF A INACCESSIBLE ' HAND OF CATTLE. A Pyramid of Bones Marks the Spot Where Their Aneestors Fell Over n Preelpiee Twenty Years Abo. Denver Letter in San Francisco Examiner. In the wildest portion of the West, rev-enty-flve miles northwest of Meeker, where, In 1879, the UtC3 massacred the Meeker family and every one f.t the agency. Is the most wonderful cattle ranch In the world. Within a space five, miles in length and three miles in width roams a herd upon whose sides the branding iron has never been placed, and around whose horns the lariat has never tightened. But a score or even fewer of them have ever seen a man or horse, or other animal of their kind, and in fact, their kin, except at a distance of nearly six hundred feet high above them. The Ute Indians call them ,,p,check-up," or red bufTalo. And yet If an Indian who has seen them should be asked about It, he would laugh and hake his head, and all the Information obtainable would be, p'check-up; 'em red; no ketch 'em." There are more than a thousand of this herd, and yet no man owns them, nor is there a man, white or black or copper-colored, who has ever been able to possess a single hoof of these fat and tempting beeves. The cattle are in a prison. Out of it there is one method of escape, but to travel that road means death to the adventurous one. There is no way to get in except it be by use of a rope one thousand feet in length. As the Indians say: "Heap Fee 'em; no ketch 'em; no come away." On the two long sides of the oblong space In which these cattle roam rise precipitous and even concave rocks for five or six hundred feet yawning, black, and Insurmountable. At either end seethes and rushes the Yampa or Rear river. For miles above and miles below it plunges and stumbles on in its headlong haste to reach the arms of Its parent, the scarcely less tumultuous, but deeper Green river. Like the wonderful fiat-top mountain of Colorado, this home of the Imprisoned herd has no likeness in the world. It recalls in its inaccessibility the marvelous stories of the valley of verdure Into which Mayne Reld's adventurers only found their, way by the assistance of the balloon. HOW THEY CAME THERE. The story of the way in which these cattle came there is as strange as their existence is curious. Over twenty years ago, when the government troops were pursuing the Mormon murderers of the innocent victims of the Mountain Meadow massacre, the Danltes, or avenging angels of the Mormons, fled for their lives into what was then literally the wilderness. A few of those who had been the blindest followers of Lee, the Mormon fiend incarnate, whose hands were red with the blood of women and children, found in their wanderings a pretty valley or stream which flows from the Wasatch range into the Green river. They stuck their stakes, built their camp-fires, and during the night their sagacious leader had a vision, which told him there to stay. They could hardly have chosen in all Utah a more fertile or more isolated spot. They called It Ashley, and about them have since gathered more of their sect, until where the refugees posted their pickets on the lonely nights of the first summer has grown a thriving village. It is 140 miles from the Union Pacific railroad south, and 145 miles north of the Rio Grande Western. Until within a few years past it has been isolated entirely, but now it Is but thirty miles from the Ute reservation, and furnishing supplies for the agency forms quite a business for the community. It is a tenet of the Danltes that robhlnp or theft from a gentile Is no crime. So it was thought to be only a cunning trick whn John Wyckllffe, one of the Mormon settlers of the new town, and his three sor.s made a nii?ht sortie on Henry's Ford In Wyoming and carried away eitjht hundred head of cattle ranglne there. This was in 1871. The owners of the cattle discovered their loss a few days after they wre frono and startei in pursuit. The thieves and the stolen herd had reached a me?s of Inviting grass at sundown on? dy and halted to camn for the nltrht. A terrific slorm arose. The lightning flashed Incessantly and the thunder pealed and cracked with intermitting fury. The four men desperately heli the terrorstrlcken cattle by riding around them constantly and chanting some weird tune. But the wild fearfulness of the furious storm excited the brutes beyond measure. They surged and ginned, every moment srrowlnsr less subject to control. All at one, as If by one mad impulse, they stampeded. John Wyckliffe nnd his sons nW their fate amid the Ucrhtnlns's plare and the thunder's roar. They enej vore-d to head off the stampeding herd. Instead they and their horses were swept on and driven. In the terror to escape the eharpe of maddened animals, over the brink of the awful precipice which frowns up from the waters of the Hear. After them plunged the whole frlrht-crazed herd, and down to the bottom of the fearful fall went horses, riders, ani horned creatures. O.it of this plunse of life, to what was Feemjniy certain rioith to all, a few of th herd wpr not killed. Those which had jrone ahead formed ruhlon of dth. Maimed, stunned, but still Invented with a spark of life, when the dread storm was over, the llvlnc cattle crawled out from the mass beneath them and formed a nucleus for the herd which now ror.m at will within their rocky confine. On the bank of the river, stretchier back a few hu-vlred yards, prow succulent grasses, and upon this the cattle have rropatrated and thrived. In looking: over the elcre of the precipice one cm se that they are small and as wild and agile P9 deer. They have been shot at to see the effect, and have learned to rer-rd the appearance ot a man. whether Indian or white, as a menace from which thev fl??. rlarrberlnsr over rxks and through underbrush in the chase to a point of concealment. SCEN'R OF THi: TRAGEDY. The place where the thieves and their horses an! the herd fell Is plainly marked ! by a pyramid of bons which rises to the hlght of thirty feet. The ghastly remainder and relics of the human and animal victims of the terrible le.ip rhine forth white and glistening when the t-un Is high and reaches that spot with Its full jlare. The progeny cf the surviving animals from the fall are fat and sleek, though, and have their sunny beds, deer like, where they lie for warmth in the winter, ani to them the monument of skeletons is no source of disquietude. There Is no fierce mountain lion or more dangerous bear. nor. In fact, any othee animate thing within this cow garden of llen. As yet, too, no man has been able to reach or disturb them. The Utes have a tradition that savors of a romance connected with this wonderful

The boarl U large.y fcoverned by the steward, Mr. Neldigh, who has been with the hospual for a number of years ana knows tne workings of the hospital.
