Those people who had nothing in the McCoy sheepskin bank are again to be corigralutated—they do not have to lose their time and dig up more money to attend the trial as witnesses. There is a good prospect th it the democratic State convention will not only declare for a 2 cent railway fare, the turning of interest received on public funds into the county treasury, but will hlso declare for a high license law Such a measure will rio doubt be popular, not only with the people at, large but with the better class of liquor dealers, for, it is thought, a high license law will drive a large number of the doggeries and saloons in the smaller tow ns out of business It is reported that the state will show up the extravagant expenditures of money by the McCoys. Wonder if anything will be said about the free special trains, “sweet singers of Israel”, oxroasts, etc., of “old Mac” to help out the republicans during campaign years? Will the over-drafts of the republican county central committee and republican politicians and hangers-on be shown up? It’s dollars to doughnuts that not a whisper of this will be heard.

Those people who lost money in the McCoy bank failure are doubly unfortunate, for besides losing their money in the failure over two years ago they were about all —nearly 500 of them—compelled to go to Monticello this week as witnesses against the McCoys, at least they were summoned as such —and no doubt the average expense to each in actual cash was $4 to 15, or a total of $2,000 to $2,500 To the farmer who was compelled to leave his work at this busy season the loss of time is another big item. The people here look upon this aotion in summoning all these depositors by the state as unnecessary; they think if convicted at all it oould just as well have beep done by twenty or thirty witnesses, as by five bun: dred.

Commissioner Garfield’s report on the Standard Oil Company reads as if it might ✓have been made by a howling Kansas populist, rather than a high official in the g. o. p. And the President’s message, which accompanied the report when sent to Congress, sounds somewhat like some of the old time speeches of a Jerry Simpson as a Tillman. Are oor republican friends —or some of them, rather—at last getting their eyes open to the democratic troths that have been sounded in their ears forlo! these many years?

Notice of Precinct Mootings. Notice is hereby given to the democratic voters of the different precincts of Marion township that a joint precinct convention will be held at the east court room in thee court bouse at Rensselaer, Ind., on Saturday, May, 19, 1906, at 2:30 p. m., to select delegates to the county convention to be held in Rensselaer on Saturday, May 26, as per call of the county chairman, and to transact such other business as may come before the meeting.

LAKE STRIKE IS “OFF'

Secret Negotiations Have Ended the Trouble with the Longshoremen. MEN ABE TO GO BACK TO WOBK Last Tear's Wages to Obtain-Further Conference To Be Held. Lay-Off Has Cost Much Money, and Freight Rates May Advance— Baer Controverts John Mitchell’s Assertions. Cleveland, May 10.—Following conferaices between President Keefe, ot the Longshoremen's union, and allied labor interests, and representatives of the dock managers, it is announced that the strike of the longshoremen on the lakes has been settled. The men will go back to work on the basis of last season’s wages pending another conference. The strike was inaugurated at midnight May 1 by tlie longshoremen for recognition of the mates’ union. The firemen, oilers and waterteuders also quit with the longshoremen, and as a result lake-carry-ing traffic has been tied up since with the exception of a few boats which have cleared from here and other lake ports with non-union men. Has Cost a Ixtt of Money. Dozens of ships have been tied up in the harbors here and id Detroit, Buffalo ad other ports, laden with grain and ore, and no effort made to discharge the cargo, and in consequence enormous losses have resulted. It Ts generally conceded that an increased charge for freight transportation will follow, temporarily at least. Duriug the progress of the strike the best of feeing has prevailed between the conflicting elements, and no sort of disorder has occurred. President Keefe, of the longshoremen, arrived Tuesday morning from Detroit. At that time it was said the longshoremen were dissatisfied with the showing made by the mates in the strike, but no authoritative statement was given out. Negotiations Have Been Secret. President Livingstone, of the Lake Carriers’ association, arrived from Detroit yesterday, and all of the negotiations looking to the peace which has been patched up were conducted with great secrecy. The strike involved fully 20,0(X) men employed on the great lakes. The passenger lines were not affected by tbe strike, and that class of boats has made regular trips on schedule time. Issue of the Mates Is Eliminated. At the close of the conference between President Keefe, of the Longshoremen's union, and President Livingstone. of the Lake Carriers’ association, 1t was stated that President Keefe had issued an order to the men to return to work today. According to the terms agreed upon the question of recognition of the mates’ union va* eliminated. *

BAER REPLIES TO MITCHELL I Operators Did Not Intend to Reduce j Wages—Constabulary Defended. 4 New York, May B.—At the anthracite miners’ scale committee and the operators’ joint meeting here an understanding was arrived at for the ex- j tension of the strike commission j awards for another three years and i the companies have agreed to replace , in their former positions all men except those who have committed acts of violence. New York, May 10. The anthra cite coal operators have given out k . statement with reference to the speech j made at Scranton Tuesday by John j Mitchell, in which he said that had j an org-iHiring tour not been made by j him last ) car the railroads would have ’ increased the regular working day j iTom nine to ten hours; increased the j engineers' not king time to seven days I n week, compelled the firemen to work j twehe hours ami reduced wages. “It is important that there should lie, n » misunderstanding on this point," j says the statement. "The fact is that roue of the operators had the slightest intention of reducing wages, or of increasing the length of the working day. On the contrary, if tlie men had been left at work, and if the agitation' of which Mr. Mitchell so proudy boasts had not taken place, the men would not have idle for six weeks, much lawlessness would not have occurred, and the public would not have been disturbed by this wholly unnecessary controversy. “It is doubly unfortunate, also, that the convention should have condemned the state constabulary; for a cursory: examination of facts will show that! this organization performed its duties most carefully and moderately. Not a shot was hml or a stroke wielded except to protect life or property which had teen, wantonly attacked. This brnv« corps of men—organized upon the specific recommendation of President Roosevelt’s coal commission—. should receive the thanks of every lawabiding citizen for its conduct during these weeks of trial and difficulty.” SOFT COAL MEN IN COUNCIL Operators Meet at Chicago to Decide Upon a Policy. Chicago, May 10. Nearly 800 coal operators from Ohio. Indiana. Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, Indian Ter-

rltory and Texas met at the Auditorium to discuss the mining situation iu these states. It was decided to send a committee to \. ashington to urge the president to appoint a national eommission to take up the issues between the operators and miners in the bituminous field. Among the matters the conference thinks will bear invcetgiatoln are the “check-off” system, by which the operators are compelled to keep the accounts of the unions: the “machine differential,” the ratio of difference between the “pick weight” and the machine weight of the coal mined; the relations of the railroads to the operators, and the “autocracy of the pit committee,” the members of which represent the miners In each mine. At the close of yesterday’s meeting the representatives of the Ohio Operators association met In executive session to determine what action of the cor •* rted associations it will Indorse. The Illinois and Indiana members met this morning, and the representatives of the tnree associations, as well as the representatives of the associations of the western and southwestern states, will meet this afternoon to cast a final vote on the question of the personnel of the committee to be sent to Washington and the representations to he made. Chicago Coming Oat of Strike Cloads Chicago, May 10.—Compromises have been reached at Chicago that insure a quick resumption of all building activities, which had been threatened and cheeked for thapast ten days. The bridge and structural iron workers and their employers have agreed to arbitrate their differences. The striking stone derrick men liave decided to return to work pending a settlement of their wage scale. Engineers’ Brotherhood in Session. Memphis, May 10.—Tbe seventh biennial convention of the International Brotherhood of Engineers met iu tbe Grand Opera House.
