THE HOMESTEAD WAR.
Tbe Question is as to Pinierton's Bignts

STRIKERS FINANCIALLY : FIXED.
The Sheriff in . Sympathy With the
Locked out People.
FCRTBEK TKOCBLE IS KXFBCTID.
The Situation , Discussed in an Open
Meeting During the Day Time
Other News.
Homestead, July 8. It is understood
that the men propose, if possible, to
have the question legally decided
whether the Pinkertons have a right to
bring armed deputies here. Another
attempt by Pinkertons is apprehended,
ana tncre is a nervous dread ot wnat is
to come. Against such' an attempt the
strikers will array all tbe power they
have. The railroad men are in hearty
sympathy with the men, and for this
reason it will be hard to surprise the
strikers with an adequate force. They
have plenty of money and the best legal
counsel. Guards are on duty against a
surprise at every point, and dynamite is
stored along the trestle to cut communi
cation between the two shores of the
river if necessary. '
Another speaker said : "Our lawyer
has told us what the militia can do. If
we cannot believe him, .whom are we to
believe? . We all know this is a great
struggle. If tbe association does not
win, it will not amount to a row of pins
in the future. The question is, Will we
permit the sheriff to take possession of
the mill as our friend? Time will show
it is tbe best thing for us to let the
sheriff take possession. We all know
tbe law is against us." The meeting is
still in session. An unverified report - is
in circulation that troops will arrive
here during the day. It was said the
arrival and announcements for them
will be practically stimnltanous. Work
men are keeping mostly at home, under
orders from the leaders. It is not be
lievd this state of affairs can- last long.
A meeting was called in the opera-house
this afternoon. Two hundred mill
workers were present." On the stage
were President Lethe, President-elect
Garland, Secretary Kilmannon and At
torney. Brennon, - of the malgamated
association. The object was to consider
the situation. Amalgamated officers
addressed the meeting in plain words.
Attorney .tsrennon saia : ne owners
have no law on their side, and their
hearts cannot be touched. They have
civil protection. When the' militia
comes the mill will be surrounded and
new men put in, and any man interfer
ing with the civil authorities will be
shot down. If any one thinks for a mo
ment tbe militia .will stand round like
hitching posts, he is badly mistaken.
When they lo eome it : will not be for
dress parade, but to shoot."
He "wag loudly applauded. Another
speaker said : ' "The sheriff and the men
he will bring here will be in sympathy
with the people of Homestead. He will
not be foolhardy enough to bring a lot of
men here to shoot us down. We have
their sympathy, and will have it when
they. come. The sheriff must do his
duty, and will do it in no spirit of ani
mosity."- . v
A. Crash In Smoke.
.P.&EIB, July 8. The transatlantic
steamer Marechal Canrobert has been
snnk'in a collision with the French iron
clad Hoche off Planier, nine miles south
west 01 Marseilles, mere were So pas
sengers on tbe dpek of the Marechal
Canrobert,' watching the manouvers
when the Hoche, which is the flagship
of the squadron, crashed into her side
Owing to the dense smoke caused by the
firing of the- guns of - the warship, tbe
officers of the Hoche did not see the
Marechal Canrobert until too late to
avert the disaster. s,The shock of the
collision was terrific. The Marechal
Canrobert fastened in ' all haste to the
ironclad to keep from sinking while her
passengers were being transferred to the
warship. Immediately after the Mare
chal Canrobert was detached from, tbe
Hoche, she gave a lurch and disappeared
beneath the waves. Seven passengers
on the Marechal Canrobert were lost
It'is supposed they were killed by being
struck bv the ram of the Hoche when
she crashed into the unfortunate steamer,

and Ruinous to Many. ' '
East Oregonian. "The farmers are
icking," said a storekeeper the other
day, as he wrapped .up a couple of
pounds of codfish, "but they have no
greater reason for it than the merchants
have. The credit system is the curse of
trade, and the ruin of many a man that
deserves a better fate. Nearly half of
what I sell over my counters goes on my
books. - The interest on the amount I
have on my books is greater than the
profit on the goods I am selling. There
are too many people ont; of money
who seem to think that the storekeeper
owes them a living."
The storekeeper is right. The credit
system is the curse of trade, and one of
tbe shackles which hangs like a great
weight on the necks of the producers.
It increases the price of products with
out conferring benefits. It takes from
Mr. Good Pay to meet the debts of Mr.
Bad Pay.
There is a- remedy for the accursed
credit system and that remedy is, abolish
all laws for the collection of debts.
With these laws abolished it would not
be safe to trust, and . if a man should
another he would do it from personal
grounds and with his eyes wide 'open.
By abolishing these laws tbe expense
of the courts and the fees of the legal
servants would be much decreased and
labor would be-- released of a burden
which is oppressing it at present. The
whole world would be better for it.
We would like to know wbat right the
state has, anyhow, for stepping in and
making Tom pay Harry when Harry
trusted Tom " voluntarily? Let everv
man take the consequences of his own
voluntary acts. Let the state keep its
hands off of individual rights. Thin is
what is meant by good government
economically administered- Paternal
government means that the state should
look out for and protect the individual.
That Is tbe form of government which
soon runs down at the heel. It - aims
to keep up the individual when in the
order of things the individual must keep
the government up. At present "the
people - are . .oppressed by too much
paternalism and they must arise to tbe
occasion and eradicate it. Simplification
should be the cry ! Our gteatest need is
simpler forms of taxation; simpler sis
tems simpler laws, simpler government
and we would then have better times,
Detter conditions, better men. It can
come in no other way. The law for the
collection of debts is one of the compli
cations which must be exterminated
Comodbn sense dictates it; intelligence
demands it; twenty-century civilization
insures it. Tbe new democracy is the
implement with which it will be, accom
plished.
The credit system is the - system
handed down-to us from the ages of the
masters and slaves.
Oladstone Weak Opponent.
Edinburgh, July 8. Gladstone and
Wauchope have been nominated for
parliment. The election - takes place
Tuesday. Wauchope is a mere wooden
man against Gladstone. The latter left
for West Calder today in excellent
health and spirits, accompanied by his
wife, who watches for his comfort with
constant solicitude. At West Calder a
public meeting was held in a disused
quarry, reached by an underground
passage. The place was packed, and
the miners gave Gladstone a rousing re
ception.

New Yobk, July 8. The strike of
metal workers at Homestead mills will
delay work on the armored . cruiser
Maine, the 3000-ton cruiser Cincinnati
and the double-tarreted monitors Puri
tan and Terror, at tbe navy yard, as well
as on the other war vessels, under course
of construction at the Mare Island navy
yard, besides those building by private
firms, inasmuch as Carnegie, Phipps &
Co. and 'the Bethlabem works have a
contract to furnish armor and other
steel plating for war vessels. ' '

ABSOiSrECtf FUSE
CHARACTER OFTRAMPS
Some Disagreeably Cogent Statistics by
Prof. McCoot
APPARENTLY NO PHYSICAL STATUS.
In Intellect The Train p is Decidedly Be
low The Average.
BIS HlllHT T VOTK ylKHTI- SEI).
The Menace Not so Serious Perhaps as
the Investigator Seemsto Think---vtc.
Chicago, July 9, Prof. John McCook
of New York has issued a paper giving
the results of some painstaking research
es into the character and habits of the
tramp. The papers is hot complimen
tary to trampkind. And the absence of
anything flattering is enforced by 'some J
disagreeably, cogent statistics. The in
tellectual status of the trump in declared -
to be decidedly lelov the average. Th
statistics as to his physical status are
even less pleasing. Apparently he has
no physical status. But the important
part of Prof. McCook'e discoveries re
lates to the tramp as a citizen. Exactly
1,349 tramps, casual lodgers aud vag
rants were questioned and a considerable
fraction of them stated that they had
voted, and mentioned the places where
their last ballot had been cast. ."Noth
ing," continues Prof. McCook, ought to
blind us to the fact that those people
have no proper right to vote in a country
which depends so immediately upon the
general intelligence and decency of the
individual elector." The average voting '
citizen would not care, to dispute this.
But whether or not the 'tramp,' as- an -adult
male native of America, has the
right to exercise suffrage would be a fine
point for ethical discussion. The min
ute he ceases to be a tramp be should
have the right, of course. But before
that tramping is his profession, and who
ever beard of a man's profession disqual
fying him as . a citizen? Probably the-
menace ia not so serious as the investi- -gator
seems to think. The adoption by
many states of tbe Australian ballot will,
be one of the means, of. preventing Un
confirmed tramp from voting. Presum
ably he has heretofore voted just for the-
fun of the thing. And there would be no -
fun in having to take a slip of paper into
a closet and work over it with no pros
pect of future'payment in beer or silver
dollars. -
Cholera fn Knsxla Bag-Ins;.
- St. Petkksbcrg, July 8. The govern--'
ment is about to issue minute instruc
tion's to the local officials as to the best -means
of combatting the cholera. Two
cases have ibeen reported here. It is
stated that Asiatic cholera prevails along
the wholo course of the River Volga and
at Kysbinsk, Tatow and Ored. There is
a panic in Astrakhan. Laborers, hired
to work, attempt to leave, and the au
thorities attempt to compel them to ful
fill their contract. A riot ensued, result
ing in calling out the troops and wound
a number of tbe rioters. -
Kxplanatton of The Seizure.
London, July, 8. The Press Associa
tion says Lord Salisbury has instructed
the British charge d'affaires . at
Washington to request the' United
States government for an explanation
in regard to the recent .seizure in Port'
Eches harbor, Alaska, of tbe British
steamer Coquitlan by the United States
Revenue cruiser Corwin. The incident
