competition with the farmers of our land. As well might the mechanics and laboring men of our own country complain that Providence is against them because He has said to the nations of the world as never before in all the history, 'Let there be peace.' and has turned the skill and energy of laborers and capital to productions which have, supplied markets where our own productions have heretofore gone. "No. no. these maligners who are attempting to break down the reputation of our Nation and have in mind their own selfish interests, will not make the candid and intelligent people-of - this Nation believe that there has been a conspiracy composed of bankers. Wall street, Rothschilds, corporations, capitalists. Presidents of the United States and leading statesmen against the farmers, laborers and the poor people. Neither can they accomplish the greater undertaking than that, to make the public believe that the conspicuous leaders and stockholders in this highsounding, pretentious movement to elect Bryan are actuated by patriotic motives only, and are the. perfection of intelligence end political purity."

Chairman Habcoek Confident 5IcKtnley Will Carry Indiana. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, Sept. 7. "Indiana will be carried by the Republicans," said Chairman Babcock, of the Republican congressional committee, to-day. "It is one State above all others where we have succeeded in stemming the tide of free-silver sentiment and turning it in the opposite direction. This has been accomplished since the adjournment of Congress. When the Republican members of the House from Indiana went home after the adjournment they found the sound-money outlook rather gloomy. I There was apparently a strong free-coinage feeling among the people. It had been produced by the efforts of the free-coinage men during a long period of action. We went into the campaign in earnest, and confined our efforts to counteracting the erroneous impressions that had been fostered by the silverite politicians. We sent sound-money literature Into Indiana in quantities sufficient to leave no excuse for any one to. claim ignorance on the financial question. This literature is of a character to guarantee its wide dissemination. It was not a partisan matter, attracting the opposition and making what might be called a strictly party exposition of Republicanism, but was a plain presentation of the facts and figures of the financial case, given in a manner to carry conviction to the mind of the reader. The literature was received with the greatest eagerness by the people. They were evidntly anxious to be inlormed on finances. The onesided arguments of the free-coinage men had apparently not fully convinced them, and they ware eager to hear the whole story. The effect is already apparent. Indiana will go Republican. I am as sure of Indiana as I am of Wisconsin. "There are some other States which the Democrats Have been claiming that will be found in the Republican column. Kentucky Is bound to go Republican. My information from that State leaves no doubt in my mind of the -result of the November elections. We will carry Maryland and West Virginia. Illinois I regard as safely Republican also. I mention these States in particular because the Democrats have been Inclined to claim them a3 their own personal property." IIAHUV-MIUIIS DEBATE. Joint' -Meeting Held in the Bloomington Conrtliouxe Yard. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ; BLOOMINGTON. Ind., Sept. 7 Congressman Hardy and Judge Mien? had a beautiful day for their joint meeting. The meeting was held in the courthouse yard here, where an audience of over 2,000 had gathered. Before the appearance of the debaters A. H. Motsinger, the Populist candidate, made a little speech from the platform and said that he had been denied the privilege of engaging in the debate, but would speak on his own hook at its conclusion. The stage was handsomely decorated. On one side the front were portraits of McKlnley and Mount, on the other, Bryan and Shively. Juge Miers opened the debate, made a smooth and catching speech and was attentively listened to and frequently applauded, but it was plain that the sympathy, of the crowd was not with the Judge when his opponent was announced. The appearance of Congressman Hardy at the front of the platform was the signal for an outburst of cheers that continued for several moments. This ovation was particularly gratifying to the friends of the Republican candidate, as this is the home of Judge Miers. The Judge's speech was an excellent one, and he made the most of the opportunity, but his arguments were met and battered out of all shape by Congressman Hardy, who was in fine trim, well prepared and quick" with his replies as an electric flash. Nearly every one of his brilliant sentences was wildly applauded. Hardy's most sanguine and enthusiastic friends could not ask for greater triumph than that which the Congressman enjoyed in the home of his opponent. The rival speakers treated each other with courtesy, and the audience was well behaved and appreciative. After the joint discussion had concluded the chairman of the Democratic central committeo of this county announced that the meeting was adjournefi. but the crowd called for Motsinger, and the Populist candidiate spoke for half an hour. He announced a determination to follow Hardy and Miers. The Democrats are much disturbed over Motsinger' s action, and would like to get rid of him, but he seems to be in it to stay. Congressman Hardy announced at the opening of the meeting that he was willing to divide the time with the Populist, but the Democrats refused to consent to this. REMARKS OF THE R1LEVS Concerning- the Indlannpoli Sentinel unit It Thorn town Reporter. To tli- Kdltor of the Indianapolis Journal: Our attention has just been called to the Sentinel's Thorntown item, in its Issue of Aug. 27, in which it purports to give an interview with our father, James Riley, relative to his conversion from Republican principles, which he has taught us to believe, and which we do believe, to tha espousal of the Popocratic heresies. Our father has taught us from childhood that the Sentinel Is the most unreliable, untruthful and un-American paper published, and we believe he was right. It has but one equal for downright lying and misrepresentation, and that is its Thorntown correspondent. Our father was not in the , seed-wheat business "when we had freesilver coinage," nor for many years thereafter to any extent, and the truth is the zenith of his fame as a seed-wheat dealer was reached under the Harrison administration, when the McKinley protection and reciprocity gave us the best -markets for everything we raised, we ever had, which policy our father voted for and strenuously advocated until very recently. The injustice of the article and the glaring untruthfulness of it have no justification whatever. In that It says the father's views are shared by two and maybe four of the sons. The correspondent knew that was untrue; If he did not know It. we were close at hand, and would have frankly told him where we stood: for that matter our father would, have told him the truth. The four pons, Svho are voters, are farmers on the James A. Mount place, whom we have been taught and have learned is the best pattern we could adopt. We are ah members of a Republican club, and have together signed the following pledge: "W, the- undersigned, sons of James Riley, of Thorntown, Boone county, Indiana, hereby pledge ourselves to support the entiro Republican ticket at the coming election."

The Campaign In PiUe. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. PETERSBURG, Ind., Sept. ".The first pole raising in Pike county occurred Saturday afternoon in the eastern part of this place, on what is commonly called Mullen hill. The 'Republican workingmen of this part of town, aided by scores of others from various sections, raised a McKinley and Hobart pole 125 feet in height. After the pole raising the people present were agreeably entertained by two stirring speeches by Grant Faith and L. E. Woolsey. Last night, at the Repub'ican clubrooms. James F Stutesman. of Peru, made one of the best speeches ever listened to by a Petersburg audience. There were nearly one thousand people present to hear Republicanism expounded, and the entire speech was interspersed with frequent applause. RnnhTllle'K Rijf HeKInley Clnh.

FRANKLIN, Ind., Sept. 7. Capt. John Worrall closed his week's engagement in this county Saturday night with a rousing meeting at Whiteland. The importance of his work this week in Johnson tan not be overvalued. His speeches were of the kind needed, and his willingness and ability to give information on every point desired render his meetings of peculiar value. The Populists and other free-silverists seemed to have prepared for a general effort to corner him with ' questions. At every meeting thse men wore present wit); lists of questions which they poured in I'prn him with the confident expectation of cornering him and witnessing his confusion. But for all he had intelligent and convincing answ;rs. Ru 11 road Men's C'lah Growing. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LOGANSPORT, Ind., Sept. 7.

While Li Hung Chang is a very shrewd and wily old politician of the Chinese pattern, his statesmanship in some respects is of a narrow and limited order characteristic of the semi-civiiied and unprogressive nation to which he belongs. His criti cism of the Irish in his interview in New York the other day was not only unjust, but a bad diplomatic mistake. If he were as well informed as to the arcairs or tnis country as he should be, he would Know that an attack upon so influential andso large an element of our population could not aid in securing the privileges for Chinese immigrants to the United States which he desires. His remarks on this whole subject betray an ignorance and misapprehension as to the genius of our institutions and the character of our people which could only be expected from a Chinese statesman. "I say to you," he said to the reporters, "that to shut out cheap labor is unfair and against the best interests of your country, rty- excluding the Chinese and taking the Irish you get inferior labor and pay superior price3 for it. A Chinaman lives a more simple life than an Irishman, and the Irish hate the Chinese because they aro possessors of high virtues." It would possibly be difficult to make H Hung Chang understand that we. believe in this country that it is only honest and just to pay living prices for labor wages that will enable working people to live like civilised human beings, not like beasts of burden. We don't want a tidal wave of Chinese cheap labor because, if it were permitted, our laborers might in time be reduced to the pitiable pHght of the average Chinaman. The condition of China does not present much temptation to other countries to follow its political or economic practices. In spite of the natural ingenuity and industry of its people, it has made comparatively little' progress for many centuries, and pretty much everything in the way of modern development that has been accomplished within its limits has been due to external pressure or foreign capital. Chinese theories of government have resulted in a. nation of cheap men who are unable to hold their own with even the smaller nations around them. Cheapness is not everything, Mr. LI Hung Chang, and we are not anxious to imitate Chinese models in this regard. Human beings may learn to live so cheaply that they can work for next to nothing, but there is danger that both humanity and national manhood may lose greatly by the process. It is not with the Irish alone that the Chinese are unpopular. No special affection is felt for them by any nationality. As to ihe Chinese being hated because of their "high virtues," LI Hung Chang must be perfectly aware that he is talking the veriest rubbish. Nobody dislikes them lor any such reason. It is the absence of "high virtues" in a large proportion of those who have come to this country that has excited popular prejudice quite as much as their cheap labor. The Chinese colonies established in some of our cities notably that in San Francisco present object lessons in immorality and degradation of the most startling and repulsive character. The Irish citizens of the United States, we take it. will not be greatly ruffled by Li Hung Chang's unfavorable comparison. They are among the best and most reliable elements of our population, and the country has reason to be proud of tuem. There is not a page of its history or a foot of its progress to which Irish pluck and intelligence have not contributed. To mention the Chinese in the same breath with a race which has distinguished itself in every quarter of the globe by its genius and its valor would not occur to any one but the representative of a system which values men for their cheapness. Such a criticism as that of Mr. Chang is below resentment. We are. nevertheless, glad to see that members of the Washington police force declined to perform the menial office of carrying him in hi3 sedan chair from the train to his carriage. The police are not appointed to act ns flunkies to pig-tailed diplomats from the Orient, and whether the particular policemen who refused to perform this service were Irishmen or not. they were entirely right in their refusal. No, Mr. Li Hung Chang, we do not want the cheap labor you have in China. You have ground down labor there till you crushed the manhood out of youpeople. If you are ever to hold your own with Japan or any other country you will either have to change your methods of government or employ the Irish or other foreigners to fight your battles for you. We fear the Chinese diplomat's head has been somewhat swelled by the attentions he has received in thi3 and othfer civilized countries, and especially in New York city. It would be well for him to have the swelling reduced before he returns to China, or It may get him into difficulties. There they have an unpleasant way sometimes of reducing a swelled head by separating it from the body. In this country we have a simpler method of curing the trouble. We merely laugh at the foolish crenture. statesman or ordinary citizen until hi head resumes it3 normal size. The man who has had a case of "big head" rarely LTorgets the ridicule and contempt which it Jhaa earned him.

RIOTING AT ANDERSON

POLICE COMPELLED TO DRAW THEIR REVOLVERS OX A CROWD. Drunken Mnncie Man's Deed Forprer Vounjf, of Connersvllle, Still Missing Shooting- Tournament Scores. Srecial to the Indianapolis Journal. ANDERSON, Ind., Sept. 7. The State celebration of Labor day ended this evening in a riot, and for about an hour there seemed to be great danger that an attack would be made on the county jail, as a crowd of half-drunken glass blowers from Muncie were determined to effect the rescue of one of their friends who was held in custody. John Flarity, the prisoner in question, passed the Doxey House, walking in the roadway. He thrust his cane into the wheel of a bicycle ridden by a woman. She was thrown to the ground. Flarity's actions were witnessed by a large crowd of hi3 cronies, who seemed to regard it as a good jcko. Encouraged by their plaudits, a little further down the street he thrust his cane through the glass case of a peanut stand on the sidewalk. Chief ofiJF'olice Coburn attempted to arrest Flarity, but he took to his heels. Sheriff Starr witnessed the attempt to arrest the Muncie man, and joined in the pursuit. Flarity was too drunk to run fast, and was soon overtaken by the chief and the sheriff. They had scarcely laid hands on him when they were surrounded by a mob of forty or fifty men, who attempted to rescue Flarity. Other policemen came running up. and the officers, fighting every step of the v ay, finally managed to get into the middle of the street, east of the courthouse. The yells and oaths of the fighting mob reached the ears of people two or three blocks away, and in an incredibly short time a thousand or more people were standing about the crowd trying to see what was happening. It was almost impossible for the officers to advance toward the jail, so sharply was every inch of ground contested by the prisoner's beer-inflamed and determined friends. At last two of the officers saw that they were about to be overpowered, and drew their revolvers, but not until one of them had his face badly beaten and had his helmet knocked off. "Look out!" some one yelled, "they are going to shoot!" The hundreds of spectators turned and fled in all directions and the fighting glass-blowers were somewhat dazed for a moment or two and separated far enough for the chief and another officer to slip away with the prisoners. While they hurried to the jail, two blocks away, the other officers kept the crowd at bay. In a moment or wo, however, the glassblowers saw that ihey wrere outwitted and broke around the officers and again started in pursuit. But they were outdistanced by the officers and Flarity was safely lodged in jail before they reached him. The jail and sheriff's residence is surrounded by a high Iron fence and the front door la reached by a flight of stone steps leading up from the street. Upon these steps the officers took their stand and determinedly kept the crowd down for a moment, but the men began scaling the fence. They were met at the door by additional officers, who refused to give them admission to the building. There were loud and ansrry demands for Flarity's release and some of the more turbulent of the crowd declared that they would break the doors clown if he were not released in stantly. Dell Robinson, deputy sneritx or aiuncie. came up about this time and had a con ference with Sheriff Starr, who agreed to allow Flarity to leave upon the deposit of a cash ball. ttoDinson appealed to tne crowd to disperse, promising to take Flaritv to the train in time to return witn nis delegation. By and by they were calmed down somewhat, but left still highly inflamed with anger. Robinson made good his promise and Flarity returned with his party. His clothing was half torn from his bodv in the desperate struggle ne maae to get away, but he was not badly hurt. MIXCIE GVS CLUB. Score Made nt the Annual Tourna ment Dr. Britton'a Work.

Nothing has been heard of Col. W. G. Young since his recent escapade of disposing of forged paper to his own financial interest. The First National Bank and the Fayette Banking Company are each the loser to the amount of $49 by cashing forged checks drawn upon the treasurer of Cambridge City. Alexander Mover, a merchant, is still mourning the loss of $5 which he paid to Young for a check, supposed to have been issued by Jese Chrisman, a substantial fn.mer and an uncle of Young. In ,11 interview with Cashier James MoiiM, ,of tho First National, he stated that he would make no particular effort to secure the arrest of Young, as it would only entail additional expense with no chano to recover a cent. Young is well known in many parts of the State in Sons of Veterans circles, where he secured his title of "Colonel." He has held prominent positions In this organization and. until recently was a very active worker. He was formerly a school teacher, but owing to his desire for intoxicating drinks lost his position and has since worked at different things. A short time ago he secured a contract at Cambridge City for looking' up omitted taxaides. and was. from all reports, doing well, and to this fact alone can be attributed his success in passing the forged checks in this city drawn on

the Cambridge City treasurer. The sympathy of the community is with his family. Dr. Goods n Jiew Albany Boy. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. NEW ALBANY, Ind., Sept. 7.

The Bookman. We have been somewhat surprised to note that in all the comments which her death has called forth, the merits of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" have been allowed absolutely to obscure the btauty and depth of charm of much besides that she has written. It is true that few, if any women among all who have lived, have accomplished a greater work by the writing of one book, for it was "Uncle Tom's Cabin," more than any cause, that broke the fetters of the slaves. The book itself is full of genius, a Spagnoletto book, as Macaulay called it. But "The Minister's Wooing," "The Pearl of Orr's Island." especially the touching, noble, and profound "Old Town Folks," are among the best gifts contributed to literature in America, and it is to us quite Inexplicable that, in the present rage of idylls, such works have been overlooked works so tender, so accomplished, so religious. We should not drearn of putting any American novelist near her with the single exception of Hawthorne. The history of literature shows that resurrections are very rare, yet we cannot but think that there is a future for some of the neglected books of Mrs. Beecher Stowe. Her character was in keeping Ywith her works, although she had the weaknesses of the Beecher family, the weakness in her case being an inordinate love of gossip, which appears in her silly "Sunny Memories." and in her thoroughly unwholesome Byron publications. That she repeated the storv told her by Mrs. Byron cannot be doubted, but those who know most discredit the tale, although an extremely able writer in the Saturday Review accepted it. and supported it in articles which have seldom been surpassed for their trenchant vigor. The true reason of the separation very probably lies in an other and a quite different direction, ana we must wait a few years before the story is told. It is a story which will profoundly affect various reputations and positions, but it leaves Byron more human a great deal, and more pardonable" than Mrs. Stowe's did. Bryan's Recklessness. Boston Transcript. General Harrison, in his vigorous speech at New York, said that a President of the United States so disposed could put this country on a silvc-r basis in a week by simply letting the gold reserve run out. Mr. Bryan, in his speech at Findiay, O.. last Wednesday, told his hearers that if he was elected gold would not remain the standard of the country one moment longer than he could help to get rid of it.

Tolon, a naturalized American, and a prominent merchant of Cardenas, -who was captured on board the Ward-line steamer Seneca as she was on the point of sailing to the United States. Yesterday a magistrate, Senor Gonzales Llanusa, was taken into custody and placed in solitary confinement. The same day a prominent lawyer, Senor Alberto Zayas. a brother of th-3 well-known General of that name, was also placed in secret confiement, and to-day the arrest is announced of Senors Enrique Lama and Ignacio Lama, brothers; Senor Hernandez, an American, and Herr Hubert Blank, a German, director of the Academy of Music here. All the persons mentioned are detained incom municadothat is to say, they are not allowed to communicate with their frineds or with counsel. Sooner or laier, it is to be presumed, they will be shipped to some penal settlement, and that will be the last hard of them. It is reported here that the Captain General has formed a new plan of campaign' which is certain to end the insurrection one way or the other. If rumor in this case turns out to be founded on facts some thirty Spanish steamers loaded with troops will arrive here before the end of this month and an overpowering military cordon or drag net will be formed of all the troops available, stretching a line, practically, of armed men, backed by a second and a third reserve line, from north to south, and which will be drawn from one end of the island to the other, thus cornering the insurgents and compelling them to tight a pitched battle. The police yesterdav seized a number of important documents connected with the revolutionary movement and it is understood that this will result in a number of additional arrests of important personages.

The demonstration which organized laboi made in this city yesterday as preliminary to the excursion to Anderson showed that the work of the Labor day committee had been well and thoroughly done- For several weeks the committee had been working as a whole and through numerous subcommittees to insure a successful celebration of the day both in this city and in Anderson. The work was eminently satisfactory in every respect. The word was passed around among the various labor organizations, and members of the c mmittee waited upon the organizations in their meetings, and the matter of the celebration was thoroughly familiar with all, so that when the time came for the parade yesterday morning, which was to be the beginning of the day's exercises, and the end. so far as Indianapolis was concerned, everybody was roady and prepared to make a fine showing. All the organizaiions which participted in the parade as organizations had some distinctive insignia by which their occupation was made known. Some wore special uniforms prepared for the occasion. The painters were especially attractive, dressed in neat white suits, trousers and blouse, such as are used, by the craft. The ladies composing the United Garment Makers also made a fine showing. They occupied carriages. The other unions were in line in the best of style, and all trade a creditable showing. The parade started exactly at 8:30 o'clock, as the committee had announced it would. There were none of the customary delays waiting for tardy unions to appear in their places. Nearly all who were to participate were on hand, but If they were not there they were "left at the post." The line of march was as advertised, Tvest from Alahz ma and Washington streets to Delaware, north to Ohio, west to Meridian, south to Washington, west to Illinois and south to the Union Station. The streets were almost totally blocked along the line of march. The thousands of people who came to the city from the surrounding cities and country made it a point, to get in early enough to witness bcth the Labor day and the circus parade, which was to follow it. Other thousands were on the streets for the purpose of seeing the Labor day parade. It required the united effort of all the day and night police forces to keep a space nm.n for the street cars, and to make an opening for the parade as it passed along. ( So great was tne aemana ior omcers mat the platoon of police, composed of men picked for the purpose, which was to head the parade had to be assigned to the more important duty of assisting in the handling of the crowds. Superintendent Colbert and four officers headed the parade. A brass band was, of ccurse, at the head, following the police, and in the first division and next to the band came the Typographical Union. There were seventy-five men in line. They were followed by the Pressmen and the others in the order given in the formation as previously published. The parade was in four divisions. Charles J. Burgen was grand marshal. The first division was under the conrr.ar.d of Charl.'s Koster; the second division under J. W. Madden, and the third under Peter Hammerle. The fourth division was made up of vagons rigged up with advei Using devices. The most conspicuous person in this division was Reuben Glue, who had war paint on, and tried to fool the people into believing he was an Indian. Tho small boys penetrated his disguise, however, and his identity was heralded down the line. At the Union Station a Big Four train of twelve coaches was waiting, and those in line filled up the train and were carried to Anderson, where the State celebration of the day was held. Another train carrying the Labor day excursionists left at 1:30. ELSEWHERE IX THE STATE. A BijS Crowd and n. Successful Celebratlon at Marion. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

One hardly likes to refer to them familiarly as "Mary," "Lillian" or "Gertrude." and it is dangerous to determine for them whether they are married or single. Yet it is the almost invariable habit of woman authors to give only their names to their works, leaving the perplexed reviewer to guesa whether they are maius or matrons. With the charming assurance of their sex, they take It for granted that they are known to the world, and that any mistake as to their domestic condition is a premeditated insult.
