MAN ABOUT TOWN.

Tuesday Eugene Debs received telefrom Galveston saying be had been lied In the international convention of he Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, beiennlal session in that city. He telephed to the secretary of the Convention unouncing that he would leave at once or Gakreston to appear before the convene ion. 80 »e&r as can.be learned Secretary rnold made the attack and it wa* Iff tbd iature of a reflection on Debs' managent of the office of secretary which he

Id for thirteen years prior to Arnold's lection fonr years ago. At that time the bnventipn Insisted on Debs remaining in ffice, wanted to give him a European trip do anything for him, finally securing romise that he would continne as editor the Magazine for a year. It was well nderstood at the time that Arnold's election was largely due to Debt They were ood friends then and afterward, too, as ttan About Town happens to know. Indeed, Arnold was with Debs in the prelimiry work of organizing the A. R- U. Debs old the brotherhood convention that he .-esigned because he believed the titpe had :ome when the brotherhood plan of organ•istion did not meet the requirements. In interview I had with him at the brothood headquarters in this city Arnold as present and virtually endorsed all that fobs Bald, one statement being that the rotherhoods had passed the day of their wtfulness. I printed tho interview and |as somewhat surprised at the continued .pparently friendly personal relations beween Debs and Sargent and Arnold. The orst named was organizing a labor union hich necessarily must cut in on the memrship of the brotherhoods and yet he was dltor of the Firemen's Magazine. That "urgent chafed render the situation there no douht and before the HarriBburg nventlon, two years ago, he tdld me he ... .as going to d^4 With the subject without /quivocation orjjesprve. By this time Arold had drifted "from Debt and on the aslembling of the convention it was reported bfit he, tofc*jrOuld go after Debs in a ay age way, These repot ta reached Debs -ja'd he started on tho first train for Harrisurg. When he appeared In the hall Sarge»t welcomed him to the stage, put his iipu around him and told the delegates

the best friend he ever had, and

hat notme should attack "Brother Debs" in the letter's absence while he, Sargent, ^resided over the convention. Several of Sargeul's former admirers told me, when I Raked about the scene, which was so unflce what I had expected after the talks I aad with Sargent, that they were dumb* founded when they saw Sargent do this it of dramatic business. The net result %vas that the Harrisburg convention was a Debs ovation.

It seems that the grand officers of the irotherhood of Firemen are trying to ake a showing at Galveston of an 1mroved condition of the organization, and do so are making an invidious corafcri»on with former managements. Several ays ago a report was sent to Chicago' tapers from the Peoria headquarters to he effect that the organization had grown numbers and become more prosperous •fcnerally "since it lef,t Terre Haute," as if

Ht-iug away from here was good for It. Tern? Haute paper took the figures and omplimented the organization for the .food showing for "a year's business." The figures covered two years. And, they established one of two facts: Either the organization has lost in membership or the officials lied about the number when t"hey were asking cities to bid for the headquarters. As a matter of fact the last two numbers of the Magazine show that money haa been taken from the insurance fund to pajj headquarters expense® while a half dcwjen or more death claims remained un~ a condition of affairs which never ex-

only a few' labor leaders like "Debs are teaching tree film and -'opp9«iti$|i tie "government by iojniu^kb." They do not seem to know that Sargent, Arnold, P. M. Arthur, and othdfr Republicans, whom they eulogize in comparison with Debs, have been advocating free silver for several years that all the railroad brotherhoods appealed to congress last winter to pass a law that would pievent "government by injunction." The magazinee of' all the brotherhoods have been full of ffc. This month's, Firemen's Magazine has an article as "revolutionary" as anything Debe ever wrote. So it will be seen' that., this sentimeqt haa been fomented for several years while our Republican friends were shouting for "protection," utterly ignorant of what they ought to have known. Grand Master Safgent, at the. uniofr meeting here a few Sundays ago, advised railroad men to pay no attention to the advice of their superiors in the service, but go into their lodge room, lock the door and consider the political issue solely as it relates to their own interests.

If the railroad officials are really solicitous for the defeat of Bryan they would do well to cease their efforts to influence their employes in that direction. I know whereof I speak when I say that these personal efforts of high officials are counted on by the Bryan managers to make votes for him. Here comes Vice President Brooks of the Pennsylvania, for instance, who is to make a speech to the railroad men's dub. His company will nots tolerate other organisations of its employes, unless it be such as the so-called voluntary relief association established by the company. Naturally the employes suspect his motive and prejudice does the rest. President Ingalls' activity in this direction Ife very offensive to the men, and I have no doubt has had the opposite effect from what he desired. Of course, this 'act is not manifested by outspoken expression of opinion by employes, bnt there is good reason for saying that the Big Four employes, remembering how he reduced their wages in 1894, promising the brotherhoods to restore them in sixty days, and how he afterward railed at these same railway labor orgatiizatioos, do not heartily accept his adrjce. As a matter of fact there was such a degree of lesentment that an effort was made to have him prosecuted by the postal authorities for sending these personal circulars to employes in envelopes marked "R.R.B." (Railroad Business). A special agent of the postoffice department has been looking into the matter. They laugh at Ingalls1 assurance that no man shall be discharged for voting for Bryan because they know how easy it is for railroads to use the black list and yet escape conviction. Railway officials who have been almost constantly in controversy with the men cannot expect to gain their confidence now. The men may let the officials think they will heed all that is said to them, and if it were neoessary to tell a point' hlank lie about it many could do so with easy conscience, because they would feel that they are doing what is right toward those dependent ob them. »*,-•!

The mistake was in the manner in which the big men of affairs addressed the workingman quite as much aS" in any ottierWspect. It was patronizing. If not that it was with ill-concealed doubt of the mental ability of the laboringman or the farmer to understand the merits of the issue. Several weeks ago a man who is largely interested in the coffee and spice business sent out a letter from New York which was given to the press in a number of cities. The writer frankly said the farmer and the workingman ought not to try to understand the question, that it was one for financiers to pass upon. The hope is that the good sense of the people, the sober second thought that it would not be safe to put the extremists and men with oneidea wheels in their heads, in charge of the affairs of the country, will be effective on election day.

The last day of the Northwest Indiana Methodist conference, like the postscript of a woman's letter, was the most important of all the days it had been in session. The bishop announced the assignments of ministers for the ensuing year, the reports showing the condition of the church, as to membership, finances, property, etc. were read and resolutions adopted. One resolution that seems to have escaped the notice of the local daily press brought out the sharpest discussion of the conference. It was offered by Mr. Colvin, who has been located at Fowler. It was in effect that the condition of unrest in the country, like the lightning flash, is a threat of a coming storm that demagogues are endeavoring to array labor against capital and that generally the political condition in the country is such as to call for "prayerful attention." Some of the preacher men did not like it and they tried to lay it on the table but failed by lack of a half dozen votes, and then it was adopted. Mr. Colvin bitterly resented the effort to lay it on the table and intimated he waa not being shown a proper amount of courtesy. He said the reeolution was in line with Bishop Bowman's advice. He didn't say that possibly it was out of line with the advice of Bishop Andrews, the presiding bishop of the conference, and who, by the way, ta a brother of justice Andrews, the distinguished tnber of the New York Supreme court, the venerable Dr. Smith, of Valparaiso, the patriarch of tin conference. now S5 years of age, thought the adoption of the reeolution would advertise the members of the conference aa alarmists. He had no misgiving as to the future of the country and in any event it was the pro\ ince of the ministry to pray and keep out of politics.

The Centenary church people again were turned down by a bfehop. A year ago they did a great deal of wire pulling to get a successor for Dr. Leech, of whom they had tired, but they wanted a man from another state and the bishop said that with erence already suffering from an over supply of ministers it would not do to brfttgafkother into it. Thts year they ware tired of Dr. Tucker and wanted a young named Wise «tjho is baUding a ^0,000, ehnrch in Lafayetia.

He is a graduate of DePauw and said to be a brainy young man. He was at Oxford, a gtna.il town somewhere north of here, last year. Dr. Tucker goes to Lebanon, Ind., and I understand he waa not aware until the conference met that thn Cfintrnnnry wanted to be lid of him. *£he Centenary people were spoiled by their experience with Dr. Coultas. Hie built the^. congregation way up for them and now'that the new First church is occupied Centenary is compelled to take second place in Methodism in Terre Haute and it hurts. The Centenary people will not be Content until they get a renowned preacher and a big, new church.

The fall term of the Normal school began Thursday with a larger attendance than Was expected. It was expected the "hard times" and the raised standard of admission would reduce the attendance but the number will reach 450 and be nearly equal to that of the fall term last year. According to the new standard of admission there werq ninety students at the fall term last year who would not have been admitted this year. The new requirement is that a student must be a college or university graduate, a graduate from a commissioned high school or a person holding a county teacher's license. Otherwise the applicant must pass an examination equal to the license grade. The school is in better condition for work than ever before In its history. Many improvements have been made abont the buildings and the laboratories are better equipped. The new library is the biggest blessing by the removal to the new building. Several thousand volumes have 'been ordered aiid when they are on the ahelverthe total will be about fifteen thousand, whickwill rank the library next to the one at the' State University among the educational institu tions of the state. There is 118,000 in the library fund for the purchase of bookaand perhaps before the end of the school year there will be 20,000 volumes. There is ah elf room for 40,000 volumes. It is not commonly known that all the books of the library h^ve been purchased by the students with the exception of some obtained in the first days of the school and which were bought with money given by Chauncey Rose. The students are charged a library fee of 16 a year, ar for each of the three terms of school. This has amounted to about four thousand dollars. During the past few years when feh«4» legislature was cutting down appropriations there was not enpugh money to pay salaried'and the library fund was drawn on for the purpose. ^SWW that the school has received its first allotment of money under the new law by which it receives the proceeds of a special tax levy, there is plenty of money on hand and the library fund has been reimbursed. This fee is the only oile that is charged for attendance at the school and it is doubtful if it is legal, inasmuch as the law provides for free tuition, but it is less than the fees collected at other institutions receiving state support.

The steamboat Ferry Queen is becoming popular with those who enjoy, a day's outing up the river. It is the time of year when the atmosphere and the scenery combine to make a day's excursion very enjoyable. The boat's time of departure and arrival is such as to give a person a full day's outing.

Ten days or two weeks ago when something was printed in regard to the doubt about Senator Voorhees' part in the campaign and the lack of authentic information as to the condition of his health, statements from Washington, from frfire and elsewhere quickly found their way into the newspapers that he had nearly recovered and would be in the campaign by the 20th of this month. A Chicago newspaper evidently inquired at Mackinaw about him, and a week ago there appeared a dispatch from that place saying he had left that day for his home. Three weeks ago Mr. Lamb said he would make bis opening speech on the 15th of this month. If Senator Voorhees is a very sick man, as generally believed, it is a pity that lie should be used in this way for some ulterior political purpose.
