Lawlessness seems to be on the in
crease at Homestead, and the troops
may have to return there. Spies watch
the movements of the deputy sheriffs
and the moment thev are awav make a
sudden onslaught on the residences and
pereonaof non-union men. It has been
decided to increase the force of night
deputies if eood men can be found, and
if not the borough may again be placed
under martial law. The mills are oper
ations as usual, though several thousand
workmen there are alarmed . over the
disorder and many say they will leave
sooner than take chances of being killed
They look upon the assaults as the last
resort of beaten men.
In July last congress passed an addi
tional act giving a further extension un
til September 29th, 1893, but confined
its action to actual bona fide residents on
tlie land. The attention of Senator

A. S. Mercer, well known, it not so
favorably in the Pacific northwest; is
the world's fair commissioner from
Wyoming, but that did not prevent him
from being taken to jail in Chicago on
Wednesday, in default of $500 bail, in a
suit for criminal libel, growing out of
the noted Johnson county cattle war.
Mercer has always been considered "a
sort of an adventurer, and one of his
most noted exploits was the bringing of
a ship load of woman and girls to Puget
sound, who were soon married to the
surplus men of the country. Some of
these are now leading members of so
ciety, happv prosperous mothers of the
northwest.

fighting for the election of Mr. Cleve
laud. He has given $10,000 to the dem
ocratic campaign fund, and has directed
Paul Schulze to work for the entire
democratic ticket in Washington.
Air. Hill is influenced Dv the same
motives. His foreign bondholders de
sire the triumph of a party whose policy
of tariff reform is notoriously popular
throughout Euro p.p. It is this influence
which is responsible for the .outrageous
course adopted by Nelson Bennttt and
the Tacoma Ledger. If the people of
Washington could be id! pressed by this
truth ; if they knew the facts as the
facts are known to men and papers in a
position to get at the inside workings of
the democracy ; they wonld rise in their
might and rebuke this offensive and
dangerous foreign interference with the
politics of the Inland Empire. If they
do not heed this pernicious interference;
if they should permit the democracy to
carry Washington ; the truth will come
home to them with crushing effect with
in the next two yearB.
a further extension Deing allowed dv
congress. ' ,
But the delegation must have some
thing with which to go before the com
mittee. If parties interested would get
up petitions in the different neighbor
hoods, stating their need of a further
extension and giving the reasons why it
is needed, and send such petition, before
the meeting of congress, to Senator Dolph,
who is chairman ot the committee on
public lands in the United States senate,
it is confidently hoped that a further ex
tension of two years from .February 3d,
1893 can be obtained, but there is abso
lutelv no time to he lost. All wno can
show a bona fide intention of purchasing
these lands, are interested in this sub
ject.

Commenting upon those Oregon pio
neer families wno propose to visit tna
worlds fair in prairie schooners drawn
by ox teams, the New York Herald says
if the plan will permit the dodging-of
railroad fares, hotel rates and hack hire,
it might be generally followed with ad
vantage.
The contemporary press of the east are
alarmed at the size ot the ballots this year
in states voting under the new law. In
Pennsylvania the official ballot will lie
52x22 inches. Almost as large as it is
mighty. Considering the size of the
ballot, the vest-pocket voter is going to
have a time of it. The state ticket will
be four feet long and two feet wide.
Box cars "and barges would serve well as
ballot-boxes in that state. The new law
is faulty in that it does not provide every
voter with a private secretary to fill out
the bfauket-sheet blank.
A Boise city dispatch tells of the de
velopment ot a very rich chute of ore in
the Silver reef claim, near the Half way
house on the Idaho citv road. ' The ore
has been uncovered at the surface. The
rich streak is about ten inches thick
and is worth about 4500 per ton. The
principal metal is in sulphurate of silver,
though the ore carries some gold. This"
is in an old 18(52 district, but a number
of very promising new discoveries have
recently been made there.
Mail advices from Chicago agree that
the dedicatory exercises were lacking in
many things, but not in mud for the
procession to walk through. "The" un
witnessed flumery of an hours review at
Washington park might have been dis
pensed wit," says the Times account,
and the only emblem of unity anywhere
visible was the decorative colors ran to
gether in the drizzle.
The supreme menace which confronts
the republican party today is the general
tendency of the democracy to divide the
electoral votes of republican states, while
the electoral votes of. the democratic
states are held as a phalanx. This can
only be done by securing control .of the
legislatures of northern states, states
which have in the past cast their solid
votes for the republican candidates for
the presidency and the vice-presidency.
The action of the Michigan legislature in
passing the Miner law is the entering
wedge of this scheme. Ncv that the
United States has decided that the states
may direct the manner in which presi
dential electors are chosen, we shall see
a general movement, wherever the dem
ocracy has temporary control of a re
publican state, toward the election of
presidential electors by congressional
districts. By infamous gerrymandering
it would thus be possible for the demo
crats to win half the electors in a state
which gives the republicans a large
majority on national issues. And the
republicans would be powerless to retali
ate, for the reason that the democracy
takes excellent care that republican
legislatures are not elected in democratic
states.

Col. Watterson's star-eyed goddess
insists that free trade is the real issue in
this campaign, and she is correct. Any
attempt to side-track that issue or to
subordinate it to the "force-bill" farce is
-a direct insult to the hysterical goddess
of the blue-grass region, for the reason
that it is a wanton interference with her
precious privilege of making faces at the
goddess of liberty.
The world's fair a Chicago will far I
surpass anything previously accom
plished in the way of international ex
positions. The exposition buildings, ac
cording to the testimony of all who have
seen them, are wonders in themselves.
Many of the state buildings have been
completed and are very attractive : all
are under way except that of Oregon.
If Oregon is without one, enough voters
will return, mortified and angry, from
the fair to bury in political death, be
yond hope of resurrection, any and every
man responsible for the deficiency.

Statistics show that American women
are growing taller and the men are get
ting smaller. While American hus
bands are bending over desks and work
benches, says the splenetic old Baltimore
Sun, in explanation, American wives
are stretching their necks to see what is
on the bargain counters.
The two men who are said to be mo9t
difficult of access by interviews are Col.
Bob Ingersoll and Archbishop Corrigan.
While there is a great divergence of
opinion upon certain religious questions,
both agree in keeping outside of the
reach of reporters.
Through somebody's fault Chauncey
Depew did not attend the Columbus
banquet in New York. But perhaps it
was providential, as Mr. Depew cannot
live always, and New York will some
time have to learn to enjoy its banquets
without him.
. The telegraph operator who facet
iously ordered a strike on the Sante
Fe system by way of prac
tical joke has too much sense of humor
to do routine office work. He ought to
write farce-comedies or go upon the
lecture platform.
In view of past events the Omaha
World suggests that when the time
comes for the coronation of the prince of
Wales he will probably be too busy
watching a prize fight to attend.
Col. Elliott F. Shephard has a notion
that the railroads ought to send visitors
to Chicago next year at the rate of SI a 1
head. No doubt the visitors would like
this well enough, but how about the
stockholders? In view of the fact that
Chicago is already raising prices within
her own borders the prudent visitor
from New York and other places will
need all the reduction on railroad, fare
that he can get. The dollar fare does
not include a ride in the $22-a-day hacks
after you get there.
It isn't the usual way
it's iust the reverse to pay a
patient when yon can't cure him.
Nevertheless, that's what's done by
the proprietors of Dr. Sage's Ca
tarrh Remedy., They promise to
pay "you $500 if they can't cure
your catarrh, no matter how bad
the case. It isn't mere talk it's
business. You can satisfy yourself
of it, if you're interested. And you
ought to be, if you have catarrh.
It's faith in their medicine that's
behind the offer. It has euro
thousands of the worst cases, where
everything elso failed. You can bo
cured, too. If you can't, you get
the money. They're willing to take
the risk you ought to be glad to
take the medicine.
It's the cheapest medicine you
can buy, because it's guaranteed to
give satisfaction, or your money is
returned.
You only pay for. the good you
get. Can yow ask more ?
That's the pectdiar plan all Dr.
Pierce's medicines are sold. on.

.A Michigan woman, who seems to
have been quite determined to die, took
a large dose of morphine, cut her throat,
and then leaped into a cistern, where
she was drowned. It is not improbable
that a similar amount of industry and
perseverence, expended in .another di
rection, would have made her life seem
worth living. ' -
FARM FOR SALE.
The famous handwriting expert, David
N. Carvalho, asserts that "no man does
or can write his signature twice exactly
alike." He therefore advances the start
ling proposition that "when two signa
tures purporting to have been written
by the same person are exactly alike it
is safe to conclude that one of them is a
forgery."
