TEKRE HAUTE JULY 9, 1892.
THE Kansas Democrats have endorsed the Fasion ticket in that state, which will make an exciting time in the Sunflower state this fall.
THE town without a Keeley institute •nowadays is the exception and not the rule. Keeley institutes are almost as numerous as cblggers in blackberry season. That is a branch of medicine which any physician seems to think he •can turn his attention to with success, Irom a financial point of view.
THX front name of the Democratic vice presidential candidate is a peculiar one, and is of biblical origin, being mentioned in First Chronicles, XXVII, 29. It Is pronounced in three syllables, Ad-la-i, and means "the just" or, "my ornament." Just no*v his political opponents are doing their best to show that as a caudal appendage to the Democratic tickct he may be picturesque, but far from ornamental.
A LITTLE over a week ago William J. •Campbell, of Chicago, was selected by the president as chairman of the National Republican committee and was confirmed by the members of that body. It was then announced that Mr. Campbell only accepted the place conditionally, and it wasn't much of a surprise when this week he declined to serve at all. Several names are mentioned for the place, but It matters little who gets it, as it is pretty certain that General Harrison will run the campaign to suit himself.
IT was late iu coming, but Hill's endorsement of Cleveland is out at last In his letter or regret to Tammany last Monday he said: "Our course, at the present ttme, is plain. The Democracy of Now York, in the approaching strug gle, should present a solid front to the -common enemy. Loyalty to cardinal Democratic principles and regularly •nominated candidates is the supreme duty of the hour." It now remains for those rabid anti-Hill Democrats who have been unmercifully abusing him to ^at^Davkl on the back from this time on and tell him ho is a boy after their own heart. .•"To# ipany political moons Terorice 'owderlv, of Knights of Labor fame, has flocked with various political parties, and his changeable disposition in that connection has earned for him the reputation of being a political flirt. In 1890 he supported tho Democratic candidate
"WUKN Judge Gresham refused ths presidential nomination on the People's party ticket, it meant much to Harrison by removing from his political pathway an obstacle which would have been almost, if not quite, insurmountable. This is conceded by all good politicians, who are well aware of the fact that very many Republicans in this state and Illinois would have voted for the eminent judge no matter what ticket bore his name It has been asserted that Gresham will be rewarded for his action by a promotion to the Supreme bench, but no one who knows the man believes that he would accept under the circumstances. The feeling between the men is not such as would warrant the one in making the oflfer nor the other in accepting iU
TOR national convention of the People's party this week nominated General James B. Weaver, of Iowa, for president, and General James G. Field, of Virginia, tor vice president* Judge Walter Q. Graham vras the choice of a majority of the delegates, bnt positively refused to allow the aM of his name. Weaver Is another Ohio production of the kind trhteh has most success in political conventions. He la years old, and gradn* utetHroua the Ohio University law school ia 1854. Be was a soldier ot the war from April, 1861, until Its close In 1885, lietng brevetted briber general lor gallantry in action in March of the latter v«ar. Hl*f*cordaaaeoldlerisanhondi"able bne. He ha* held a number of Important poaJUona t» Jowa onder the
state and national governments and was at one time an editor. He was elected to oongres8*in 1878, and In 1880 bloomed out as the National Greenback Labor party candidate for the presidency, and polled 307,740 votes. He was elected to congress in 1884, and again in 18S8, as the candidate of the Greenback-Labor and Democratic parties. Since his retirement from congress he has been practicing law at his home in Iowa.
WILL THE PEOPLE DECIDE IT? Several distinguished editors, among whom are Murat Halstead and Col. A. K. McClure, have been discussing the possible result of the third party movement. Mr. Halstead seems apprehensive that the election for president may be thrown into the house by third party success in a number of Republican states, and Col. McClure has expressed his opinion that such will be the case, naming several western states which he affects to be lieve will change their allegiance to the new party movement. If the fears of the one or the prediction of the other should prove true the election of Cleveland would be sure to follow, as the majority of the congressional delegation in each of two-thirds of the states is Democratic, but in the event of the failure of the electoral college to elect a vice president that duty would devolve upon the senate, and Reid would be the man.
In choosing a president in this manner the house is compelled to make the selection from the three candidates who receive the highest number of votes in the electoral college, so that in the event of General Weaver carrying a sufficient number of electoral votes to prevent the election of Harrison or Cleveland his name would go before the house. In the senate, however, it is different, the selection of a vice president being made from the two highest candidates, which would insure Reid's election, whereas, if a third candidate could be presented a combination might be formed which would defeat him.
The Democrats are figuring on a big third party vote in Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming, the Dakotas, Nevada, Montana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon, and
many
!ftll
governor ia Pennsylvania, and
a your later flopped over to Senator Quay. After coquetting with both the old parties for years ho Is playing a star ongngeuiout this season with the third party. As a politician Mr. Powderly lias always been a conspicuous failure, ftfid just now he is displaying less political sense than any one supposed ho possesses. A $HMtK Is considerable talk of a fusion iu Iowa by tho Democrats and People's party, the former to have tho state ticket aud the latter tho oloctors, wbioh, if it amounts to anything, would mean a Democratic victory. It is a good doal like the old story of the white man and the Indian who went hunting. They killed a turkey and a busaard. On the divide the white man said: "I'll take the turkey, and you can take the buzaard, or, if you don't like that, you take the buwsard and I'll take thelturkey." Tho Indian took the matter under advisemont, but failed to discover how he was to reap any benefit from the divide under the proposition. The People's jjarty in Iowa represents the Indian.
of them express a belief that
Weaver will carry all of them on the silver issue. The third party people themselves claim all the states named and assert their ability to wrest from the Democracy several southern states. Those who make these predictions are governed by their enthusiasm rather than judgment, and with them "the wish is father to the thought." This is going to be a campaign of reason, and tho reasoning power of the American people is just as sound as it has ever been. There is a growing disposition on the part of all classes to "let well enough alone." The country is prosperous to a degree which it has never experienced before, and under all circumstances it would be folly to go after other gods. Such a radical change as that to the third party wbuld unsettle
bt^slness interests and bring about confusion, just what the people do not want and the country cannot stand. The voter has too much sense to take chancos on any such radical change, and will see to it that the fight will be on the old issue aud between the same parties. That is where it should be, and that Is where it will be. *. »,
THE HOMESTEAD WAR.
When the clock tolled midnight on the 30th of June the iron and steel mills In Pittsburg and vicinity closed down and 160,000 men were thrown out of employment. The scale of wages In force during the past year expired at the time stated, and the proprietors having failed to sign the s^ale for the ensuing year work ceased entirely. And it ceased not only in Pittsburg but in the iron and steel mills throughout the country, for the scale agreed upon in Ptnnsylvania is the scale which governs the whole country. The telegram which announced the closing of the mills in Pittsburg also conveyed the information that fifteen of the largest iron and steel works in the country had been consolidated and would be oparated by the Carnegie Steel company, with a capital of 926,000,000 and a force of more that 40,000 men.
With the consolidation commenced a determined fight against organized labor. At the Carnegie works at Homestead 4,000 men were locked out. The works were fenced in and barricaded to prevent the violent intrusion ot the locked ont men to disturb non-union labor, and the battle commenced, not only against a reduction of wages, bnt against the overthrow of the Amalgamated Association, which embraces moat of the skilled iron and steel workmen of the country. It is a battle by employers against the iron clad scale of wages for a year regardless of the fluctuations of trade. In speaking of the matter the Philadelphia Times, the most influential Democratic paper in Pennsylvania, and one of the Wrest in the country, said before the battle at Homestead: "The battle here, as at Mr. Garnegle's establishment, is against the domination of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers. It la one of the strongest and best organized labor organ izatians in the country, and it is exceptionally strong In resources as well as in numbers. It is in the best position for a protracted fight of any of our labor unions, and it has more at stake than any other. If it la vanquished, the backbone of organised labor would be broken. The grave question for both aides is as to the possibility of obtaining nop-nnlon labor to take the places of the locked-out Association workmen. If that can be done, the Association will be broken If It can't be done, the Association will be vlctpr in the struggle."
That ia the whole question In a nutahell, and there Is no politics in Ik It is a conflict of capital against organised, labor, and the Carnegie* prepared for It I

by putting their place in a state of siege. The strikers acted in a peaceable mannei until ladt Tuesday when the sheriff sent ten deputies from Pittsburg to occupy the works and protect the non-union men who were to he put in. A body of 2,000 strikers met the deputies at the station, escorted them to the river, put them on a boat, and sent them back to Pittsburg. v%
In the meantime Pinkerton men had been sent for, and when they arrived at Pittsburg were sent up the river to Homestead on two barges. There were about 200 of them, and when they attempted to land were resisted and the shooting commenced. When the conflict ended in the surrender of the Pinkertons the result was twelve killed and twenty wounded. With the exception of the great railroad strike in 1877, this record has never been1equalled, and the worst feature of the whole business is that neither side has been in the right, and neither is justified in the extreme and hostile measures to which it resorted.
No one will deny the right of any man to conduct bis business to suit himself so long as he complies with the law of tho land in doing so. The right of any man to reYuse to work for another unless the terms suit him is also as firmly established as the hills. On the same principle the employer has no right to try to prevent the men he has once employed from getting, work elsewhere, nor have the laborers the right to forcibly prevent their employer from getting other men to take their places, or to coerce other men from accepting places which they have abandoned. Of course these propositions are subjeot to modification in some cases, and this may be one of them. This is a case of war between "organized capital" and "organized labor," in which the former employes armed mercenaries to literally crush to death all opposition, organized or otherwise. It is a war which has been looked upon as an inevitable conflict whioh must come at some time, and the country is now forcing it. It is a fight in which there can be no third party, for the whole country is directly interested in the outcome, and must take sides. Such a war is deplorable and should be discountenanced. It injures not only those who are immediately engaged in it, but endangers the institutions of the country and the country itself. It is snioVdal to talk of war between capital at!d labor, for without the one the other cannoL exist. "Let us have

It would be a difficult matter tb gtvfe the status of the I-I league at the present time. Last Wednesday there was a meeting in Chicago at which all the clubs were represented, Aurora retired and Evansville put in a claim for ?600 for the non-appearance of the scheduled clubs for July 3 and 4, which was not allowed. Arrangements were made to continue the league with six clubs and on Thursday the home team started for Joliet, where it has been since. Yester day Evansville disbanded, and now there are only five clubs left. Another shuffle and probably all will go, unless a combination can be formed by the remains of the shattered leagues which are lying around loose in tho western country.

Fastidions Speech.
To the initiated there is no surer mark of thorough culture and good breeding than a certain fastidiousness of speech, concerning which Harper's Bazar very aptly asks: "How many people are there who pronounce any proportion of their words correctly, not merely by reason of clipping and mouthing, but by ignorance of good usage? We find them everywhere, and lay the accent on the first instead of on the second syllable of acclimate, for example they pronounce the second syllable of acoustics, coo, instead of cow they do not put the accent on the last syllable of adept, as they should do they leave the sound out of buoy .they pronounce duke with the sound of oo instead of with the simple long u, emphasize the first instead of the second syllable of enervate, and sound the tin often. "They are astonished to know that precedence has the accent on the second syllable, and placard on the last that quay is called key that sough is suf that the instead of the sound is to be given in sacrifice, and the reverse in rise that subtile and subtle are two different words that the last syllable of tortoise is pronounced "tis" instead of "tus that it should be used and. not ust, and that it is not the "zoo," but the zo-ological gardens where one goes to see the chimpanzee, and not the chimpanzee. It is quite time, we think, when we hear one of these talkers, for some of the fancy work and fancy studies of the day to be dropped, and a little hard work on the dictionary put in their place." \f
