Pitthburq, Pa.; Dec. 24. The official
figures given'' show that there are 218
families without means of support in
Homestead, which,' reckoning five to a
family, gives a total of over 1 ,000 people
without proper food, clothing or fuel.
The Press of this city commenced the
movement for the relief of .the women
aDd children of Homestead, believing it
better for the people of Pittsburg to turn
their attention to this instance 'of dire
need than to trouble themselves about
the morbid disputes. - When, the cry
rolled across the ocean from Russia and
Germany that the people of those coun
tries were starving, we sent relief ships
at once. Should we evince less sympa
thy for those who are dying for food and
warmth at our very doors? This is not
an appeal for strikers. The strike has
been over for weeks. The simple fact is
that there,: is no work for hundreds ol
men, who have, rightly or wrongly,
been drawn into a controversy that has
resulted iu such suffering . to their
families. . . ' -;,".. . -
It matters nothing what has brought
the helpless families to their present
desperate condition. The fact that
stares us in the face is that babies- are
crying to their mothers .., for food ; that
their poor little hands and feet are
chilled in. houses where there " art no
fires j that . women are clasping -their
wailing babe's to hearts from which . pri
vation has already starved out nourishment;-
that the bread-winner walks
hopelessly . about the streets and re
turns to his home in an agony of hope
lessness to witness the suffering that he
cannot alleviate. The women and chil
dren of Homestead have been reduced
to distress through no fault of theirown.
They have been made to suffer through
industrial complication, such as nfay
break out" in-any community at . any
time. There is no- maudlin sentiment
in this movement for aid for the Home
steaders. ' It is an enterprise to feed
and clothe the hungry and ill-clad,
leaving their sins, if tbey had any, to
the Power that is generally admitted to
nave ibe best right to pronounce judg
ment on me erring.
A WINTER SKETCH, "
Hood River Valley KxpeMeacea Accord
In a-to Seaaoue.
A private letter irom Hood River, 21st,
says the whole face of the valley is bo
led beneath eighteen inches of "the
beautiful." ' The writer says: Vlt looks
now as if we .were going to have 'a' hard
winter in this latitude. If tbe storm
keeps on, as it gives every prospect- of
doings I will have no means ot egress or
ingress except by snow hoea. Hood
Rfver is a fine place to live in, but the
winters are not so charming to me us
the summer - months.- A snow-storm
like the present one makes me very
tired. . It was here that .Tyler Lock wood
came in 1870. ' He "was delighted with
the climate and. scenery. .' He entered a
claim over on Hood River and built a
comfortable cabin. '- A charming view of
Mt. Hood was had from his cabin door.
The grand old mountain seemed at times'
to be within a stones throw. He sent
bis family to the ranch in the fall, and
sent with them two men to get up wood,
and hunt, and keep the family in meat.
Along about the middle, of December' it
began to snow, "and "it snowed and
snowed, as only- it -can snow in Hood
River valley. The family saw, nothing
much but snow till spring, and when
the warm Chinook had bared the ground
sufficient for traveling Mrs. L. and the
children went to Portland. - Lock -used
to say that after his wife's experience.on.
Hood River ranch she could, never be
persuaded to again" look at Mt. Hood.
, .' But when gentle spring" :comes,
and the flowers bloom; and the Meadow
Lark gives Ihis "sweetest oote, iand ,the,
ripening fruits' appear .-we-i will vote
Hood River vailey a 'great eoontry, and
give the intending immigrant a great
fill as of old.' .
THK SYSTKM AT IVIIKK
Row ' tlie Klmkulr Ha. , Been
Kd" Hympalbjr Kiirand.
At Hood River Thursday night, when
it was -found the train could not get to
Portland, passengers intorm us that the
P.- K. ofiicials instructed the con
ductor.' to, disembark his " passengers
and back up to The Dalles. This the
passengers flatly refnsed to submit to ;
and: after tenaciously : holding their
places in the cars all night, the train
was "backed up to this city yesterday,
and remained -in the yard until nearly
o ciock last nignt, wben the "gener
ous" corporation officials decided to un
load on The Umatilla, and pay the hotel
charges." ) ' ' i " .i
Then it was that the train hauled
down . and- the passengers were --soon
snugly stowed away for the night, after
partaking of a wholesome supper, which
some of them appeared to be sadly in
need of.
After" breakfast ' this morning a train
of ten cars was made up,' including four
passenger, coaches, two ! Pullman Sleep
ing coaches, two ; baggage cars and two
fast freight cars, headed by three light
locomotives;! into which 'the passengers
again embarked, and at 11 :15 pulled out
with a hope of reaching Portland tonight
sometime. "
For the relief of the, passengers only
we hope they' may succeed ; - but so'far
as the company is concerned, they are
not entitley to one. spark, of sympathy.
Tbe management in this affair, as in
almost every thing else connected with
the operation of the road here, have not
shown the slightest degree of common
Sense. . They have not paid . the least
particle of attention to the necessities of
the conditions which anybody but a sim
ple 'minded, idiot 'might expect. ' This
statement is verified by the empty condi
tion of their Dalles City coal "sheds, and
by the fact that their rotary snow plows
were hundreds of miles awav, an.d were
not sent for until the blockade was upon
them.. -('.-.
W lien the Oregonian gets here we ex
pect t be informed - that these "pet"
mauagers have nearly killed themselves
trying to open tne road, etc., that Gen.
This and Gen That have, contracted
death dealing colds, and are lying at the
point of death, perhaps, from the effect
of .their acrobatic feats, a..d their hercu
lean struggles with the . monstrous bliz
zard ; which was nothing more T nor less
than a gentle snow storm" sent upon us
by a benificent Providence, lor tbe ben
efit of the -very same people, in this In
land Empire, whom , this monster cor
poration grind, to the straits of poverty
annually by' their 'extortions in freight
and passenger fares.
No, for the TJ. P. R.,Co. there is not
one word of sympathy wasted in .The
Dalles. The company is in no way de
serving of it. . ;

limit of his powers. The reason for the
faith that was in me then is that - horses)
at the trot, even at that time, had. ii
some portions of .their heats or trials
shown a two-mfnute gait. ' I took it foe
granted that the breeding of our light
harness horses would gradually improve,
and that it was only a question of , time
when a horse would be bred that could
carry for a full mile the rate of speed
shown in an eighth or a quarter;' as the
case might . be, of a two-minute clip."
Did I think it necessary I could names
a score' or more of horses that havet
shown a speed in quarters aud halves!
that if maintained for a mile uould
have solved'1 the two-minute problem
beyond question.
... The improvement in driving, shoeing,
harness, tracks and snlkies have contri-
buted something, but in my opinion not
as much as some persons' maintain-
... K . ...
nor see, v as l nave -neretoiore smtea,
years ago, when all the accessories . wero
crude, showed marvelous speed for short .
distances. ' Now, with this fact in mind,
it must logically follow that the hors
himself is the main factor in the lower
ing of records. He is nearing perfection
Mind, I do not say he has reached it bjr
qute a number bf degrees, but the light
harness horse is gradually approachingr
the goal, and whatever has been achieved,
in 1892, the most . sensational period in,
the history of the-trotting horse, is due
more to the improvement of the. animaL
than to anything else that can be named.
. In answer to the question as to
whether or not Mr. Tracy would return
to the ranks of the breeder after the ex-
pi ration of his term as Secretary on
March 4th, the reply was: "No, 1 am..
not rich enough to breed noises again..
Horses sell at too high a figure to meet,
the size of my purse. I shall return to
my profession of the law, and if that.
snail fail me well, then 1 guess I calm
write for the horse papers and make a
living in that line."
