WAGES OF IRON-WORKERS. A Striker Explains the Conditions Under Which High Fay la Earned. Pittsburg Special to St Louis Globe-Democrat. A great many persons have wondered eince the publication of the . statement showing the very high w&ges paid the workmen ae the Homestead mills tbe reason this class of labor should be so well paid. A reporter aiked.ono of tbe striking workmen to-dav for an explanation. Tho answer was that men who are able to do the work are very scarce. "It takes man a lifetime to learn the business of a screwman." he said, "and even after a lifetime at it be does not always become an expert. Of the hundreds of men who start in to learn the business, sot one in fifty ever finishes his education and becomes a boss screwman. It requires a peculiar ability to do this work. Now in some of these government plates an adjustment of one-tilth of one-hundredth of an Inch was required. This adjustment had to be made in a moment. The mistake of a hundredth pfcrt of a fifth part of a hundredth of an inch , meant the loas of a whole plate, and the Joss of a great many plates would bankrupt tbe company. A spoiled plate s is almost a dead loss, '.there is a very large percentage of Iqss in remelting. Of course, that work; was hner thas the ordinary, but take the average work and tho adjustment required is remarkably line, znd a mistake of the minutest part of an inch will spoil a plate. The samo is true in tbe rolling department, which is another department where high wages aro paid. The roller riust gauge his work perfectly or it Js lost, n the heating department, which is the third of the departments where exceptionally good wages are paid, the heater must gauge the heat entirely by his eye. He must know at exactly what moment the Jnetal is in condition for treatment. If he lets it get too hot before he takes it oil the job is spoiled. If he takes it off before it is hot enongh the result is the same. A difference of a minute or sometimes of even a part of a minute, is enough to sooil a job. But the company is not tbe only loser when a job is lpoiled. The men are all paid piece-work. ana every time anything is spoiled they losoallthe work they have done on it. There is no system of time pay, and a man gets pay only for the work he finishes which passes inspection. In tho government work which was done at tho mills there were government inspectors, and stricter men there never were. These men were on dutv all the time, and until the men got thofull hangof the work about half they did was turned back on them. It was a long time before the men made any money at all on the job. The company talks about tho high wages that are paid to us. Tbe only reason that they paid them was that they could not get competent men to do it for any loss. . You and the other people who are doing a lot of talkins about the high vagesthat we yet think nothing of a lawyer being paid big monev, ' yet let mo tell you that it t ikes more education, and more nkill, and nrore ability, and more carefulness to be a screwman or a roller in an ironorsteel-mill than it takes to be a lawyer, and there aro fewer firstclass men in this business than there are in the law business." , Losses by Fire.

The Republicans of the Third district met in this city this afternoon, at 2 o'clock, to nominate a candidate to mako the race against Jason 13. Brown for Congressman. The district is composed of the counties of Floyd, Clark, Harrison. Washington, Scott, Jackson, Jenningsand Jcflerson, each county being represented in the convention by a full delegation. There were 152 delegates present, and a more enthusiastio body of men never assembled in this city. The convention was called to order by Mr. S. E. Carter, of Seymour, who is tbe district chairman. On motion. Col. Robert Trace well, of Corydon, was made chairman, and J. A. Kemp, editor of the Salem Leader, secretary. Before beginning business it was annonnced that the Ladies Relief Corns was in session in an adjoining hall, and a motion was made that the ladies be invited to hear the proceedingi of the convention. The invitation was extended and accepted by the ladies. Colonel Tracewell, in accepting the honor bestowed on him by the convention, made a stirring speech, saying, among other things, that he was not for Mr. Harrison before the holding of the national Republican convention, but that he is now a warm supporter of the nominee, and would be until the close of the polls in No? ember. The secretary proceeded to call the roll of the counties. When Jefferson was reached Mr. M. R. Sulzer, on behalf of Clark county, stated that be wished to place in nomination for Congressman from the Third district Prof. W. W. Borden, of Clark.' The nomination was seconded, and there being no other man mentioned. Professor Borden was nominated by acclamation. Professor Borden is the best man that could possibly have been selected, as his candidacy will harmonize all classes, particularly the farmers. He is tbe president of the Farmers' Mntual Bene tit Association, of Clark county, and is himself a practical farmer. His home is at New Providence, where he founded Borden College. Professor Borden was escorted to the stand, and made' an excellent speech. He was followed by Senator Shockney, the candidato for Lieutenant-governor, who spoke for nearly an hour.

State Ticket Nominated and Platform AdoptedDemocrats Scored. Sagixaw, Mich., July 21. When the Republican State convention reconvened this morning tho temporary organization was made permanent. The following ticket was nominated: For Governor, John T. Rich, of Elba; Lieutenant-governor, J. W. Giddings, of Wexford; Secretary of State, Job$)V. Jochim, of Marquette; Treasurer, John C. Hamitzer, of Hancock: Auditorgeneral, Stanley W. Turner, of Roscommon county; Attorney-genera). Gerrett Dekema. of Ottawa county; Commissioner of the Public Land OfficA John G. Barry, of Otsego comity; Superintendent of Public Instruction, H. R. Pettingill, of Lansing; member of Board of Public Instruction, Prof. E. A. Willson. of Paw raw. A resolution was adopted expressing sympathy with James G. Blaine on tbe loss of his son. The platform was then read. It indorses the nominees of the Minneapolis convention and the principles there enunciated, and scores the dominant party in the State for its outrageous abuse of power. Continuing, the platform says: We condemn the present fftate Democratic administration for iU subserviency to the exactions of political dera&Kocufs who hare forced upon the Intelligent people of Michigan the nefarious Miner law, a measure which every fairminded citlrencoadernns. and welch Democratic leaders favor 'only In a State where there Is a Republican majority. As illustrating the methods and practices of the Democratic party we call attertion to its brazen theft of tho Senate of this St. Me during its lan session by unlawfully and corruptly seating two usurpers In that bo ly by the action ot less than a constitutional quorum thereof, thus making It possible to enact the infamous Miner law, the unscrupulous gerrymander of congressional, e notorial and representative districts, and much other legislation which is a disgraco to any civilized people. While pretending to reform executive and other departments, it has been an example of incapacity and nepotism, and has so mismanaged State Institutions as to seriously Impair their usefulness and Imperil thetrf uture. Doesn't Train with the Democratic Party. special to toe Indianapolis Jo tuna'. Srymodr, Ind., July 21. The article in this morning's Sentinel, connecting tbe name of Judge Wm. K. Marshall with a Democratic meeting at Indianapolis, Wednesday night, has created a great deal of talk in political circles. Tho statement is this: That Mr. Marshall, of Seymour, had presented the name of Hon. B. H. Burrell for the vacant place caused by tho death of Judge New by xsviowing his qualitications and standing in the party in Jackson county, where be lives. Mr. Marshall, boing well known all over Indiana, does not want his friends to believe the story, and, therefore, has written a letter, in which he says: As I am the only person living la Seymour by the name of Marshall, that 1 know of, 1 comhulo the statement must apply to myself. So far as this statement relates to uie aul counles niv name with the action of that committee, the statement is untrue. I never attend Democratic committee meetings or conventions for the purpose of taking part lu basincss or deliberations; 1 do not tralu with that party; I take no stock in their political doctrines or methods, and have voted the straight Republican ticket for thirty j ears last past, and expect to eontiuue to do so. I rcjcard the Republican party as the only safe, conservative" and, at the same time, progressive party in existence, and that has a broad and comprehensive ore and watchfulness orer tho best interests o; all elapses of people, occupations and business of the co.mtry. Its. history 1a one of action and deeds, and not a history of bluff, braggadocio and broken promises. South Dakota lickrt and Platform. Madison, S. D., July 21. The Republicans of South Dakota to-day nominated C. H. Sheldon for Governor aud J. A. Pickler and W. V. Lucas for Congress. The platform indorses tho Minneapolis platform and the administration of President Harrison. Upou money and labor it says: We favor the use of both gold and sliver as standard money under such legislative regulations as will sveure the parity of values of tho two metals, and we commend the steps already taken by our government to secure this important object by an international monetary conference. The Republican party is the friend of the workin class, opposed to nil legislation hostile to their intereMs, and ready, at all times, to adopt any measure that may improve their condition or Improve the nation ul prosperity. We deplore the occurrence of any conflicts between labor and capital. We denounce the aellatlou nf demagogues, designed to foment and intensify those contlicts, and wo most earnestly disapprove the use of private armed forces in any attempt to settle them. We believe that au appeal to the law and its ofT.cers Is amply suiliclcnt to protect property aud preserve tho fcace, and a reference to legally created or arncaly c!i v-n hoards of arbitration tuo bent method ot ud!ustlng all disagreements out of which the o conflicts have arisen.

Trouble That May Lead to War Minister Smith's Talk with the Sultan. London, July 21. A dispatch from Tangier giving a detailed account of the experiences of tho British mission to Fez says: After the attack on the mission the Sultan received Sir Charles Evan Smith in the greatest agitation and said: "You and your wifo and people are in danger; you must come to tho palace to spend the night.'1 Sir Charles replied: "My life is In no danger, for I am in the Sultan's keeping." The Sultan answered: I. am powerlers to protect yon if you return to the mission; I am sure you will be killed." Sir Charles retorted: "Perhaps I am to bo killed, and perhaps Vice-consul McLeod will be killed and the whole mission massacred it yon permit it. But I ; can assure yon that there will he another British minister in Fez within a month, accompanied by a better equipped staff than mine. But," he added deliberately, 'there will not be a Sultan in Fez then." The Sultan, astounded at the envoy's demeanor, repeatedly appealed to him to remain at tho' palace. bnt Sir Charles adroitly turned the conversation to the subject of . the treaty. The Sultan said be wonld sign the treaty, adding: "After the allronts which my unhappy peoplo have heaped upon you, how can I make atonement?'' Sir Charles then asked for ithe punishment of the Bashaof Fez, eta, as already published. Tbe Sultan accompanied Sir Charles to the door, of the . palace when tbe latter was departing, which was a breach of Moorish etiquette. Sir Charles left the palaco with tbe understanding that the treaty would be signed within a day. but tbe negotiations dragged along until the ninth, when the treaty was at length signed, by Sir Charles and the Minister of War. It was then taken to tho palace for tbe purpose of having the Sultan eign it, and was returned on the 10th with the Sultan's seal attaohed. . Sir Charles found, however, that the treaty had been tamnered with and that certain of the clauses had been nullified by additions. Sir Charles demanded an explanation. The Minister of War admitted that the alterations on tho treaty had been done by the Sultan's orders. He said that he was authorized to pay Sir Charles tho sum of $150,000 if he would sign the treaty as it stood. Sir Charles thereupon ordered tho Minister out of the embassy, tearing tho bogus treaty into pieces, shutting oil communication with the palaco and prepared to return to tho coast. But tho Sultan ordered all his horses and mules to be stolen. However, a swift horse was procured for dragoman Carleton, whom Sir Charles instructed to ride to the coast with a request to tho Governor of Gibraltar to eend an armed escort and baggage train. Just as Carleton was starting the Sultan returned . tbe stolen animals. On the following day ' the mission departed. The Sultan sent several high oMiciala after Sir Charles, who refused to receive them, declaring that alter the Insults to which he bad been subjected all diplomatic intercourse between the two countries must end.
