The out-look for the democrats
in New York grows brighter every
day, and there is now little doubt
but that the state will be safely in
the democratic lines next month.
The Fort Worth Gazette has
come out squarely against Hogg,
since his Dallas speech last Satur-
day. The Gazette has been neu-
tral on the gubernatorial issue until
now.
The St. Louis Globe-Democrat
concludes that “Alabama is proba-
bly safe for Cleveland.” The
Globe-Democrat is the leading re.
publican paper in the west, and
when it gives up a state to the
democrats no body hut democrats
need claim it.
“ Avoid debt as you would a

resentatives from the south will ren-
der the republican control of the
future congresses absolutely safe

Heavy taxes should be laid upon
the property of the whites to devel-
op and extend the publio school
system of those states. Separate
sohools for the two races should be
abolished and the plan of bringing
both oolors into dose and equal re-
lation in sohools and churches given

elements to break down the detes-
table Bourbomsm of the south.
The state laws against the inter-
marriage of the races should be re-
pealed and any discrimination
against the blaoks in the matter of
learning trades or obtaining employ
ment should be a criminal offense—
while the colored man's rights to
hold office should be sacredly pro-
tected and recognized. A few years
of this policy will solve the race
problem satisfactorily—National

We have
heard several republican speakers
during the State campaign which
has just closed, and each and every
one of them, with a sanctimonious
whine and their eyes turned toward
heaven, invariably protested that
the “Foroe bill is dead.” They were
either lying or believed what they
said. The faot remains that Benja-
min Harrison and his followers are
itching to get control of all branches
of the government in order that they
may foist this iniquitous measure
upon the white people of the south.
According to their views twenty
negro Congressmen should repre-

made to prevent him from speak-

place at the conclusion of Weaver’s
speech, took the stand to refute
what he said and bitterly attacked
Weaver and the third party.
Weaver was so indignant tnat a
negro should attempt to answer
him that he immediately left the
platform.

And punished for it. As to Mrs.
Lease’s statement that the “dis-
graceful scenes at Macon were re-
peated twioe in the presence of the
governor at the state capital,” Mr.
Atkinson says: “Gen. Weaver and

vertised in Atlanta- they would not

crowd assembled to hear them.

the meeting by a vote guaropteed

tened to. I called on the chairman
of the executive committee of the
people’s party of the state early in
the evening to extend this guaran-
tee. Ho told me Gen. Weaver had
made up his mind not to speak.”
“His claim of persecution is but
an overworked effort to pose as a
martyr. His statements deliber-
ately misrepresent the people of
Georgia and are cunningly devised
for campaign purposes. He did
not want to speak in Atlanta and
would have had just as fair a show
in Georgia as any man who ever
spoke here. He cancelled his en-
gagements in Georgia because he
saw he had been imposed upon by
his own party managers, who led
him to believe there was a chance
for the people’s party in Georgia.
He found such was not the case
and was greatly disappointed by
it and glad to get out. When here
he could not conceal the chagrin
and disappointment engendered by
the weakness of his party in the

IMPRISONED AS TRIATORS.
Detectives Arrest the Advisory Board
of the Homestead Strikers
upon * Charge of Treason.
Special of Sept. JO.
A great sensation waa created at
Homestead to-night by the arrest
(or treason of a number of the mem-
bers of the advisory oommittee of
the Homestead strikars. Those ar-
roated ware Chairman Thomas J.
Crawford, William Bain, Goorge
liylanda, John Dierkeu and T. W.
Brown. Tha arrests oame like a
thunderbolt to the strikers, they
were eo suddenly made. The pris-
oners were obatting at street corners
w en they were taken.
It was late in the afternoon when
the warrants were granted on infor-
mation of Chief Juatioe Paxson,
and they reached Homestead and
were plaoed in the hands of offioore.
They started out at 9 o’clock and
first caught Crawford and Dierkeu.
The others were caught in quick
succession before the strikers had
time to realise what was happening.
Ae the priaoners were speeded to
the prison tents alarm was taken and
many strikers hastened toward the
guard, but were denied all informa-
tion, indeed several of the prisoners
did not know why they were arrett-
ed until safe behind the bayonets of
of the soldiers.
It was intended first to keep the
prisoners all night and hunt for
others, but through fear of an at-
tempt at resoue they were taken to
the City Farm station, plaoed on the
train, brought to Pittsburg, at 11
o’clock and landed in jail. At the
station a crowd of 150 angry, sur-
prised men assembled with astonish-
ing rapidity and their determined
looks caused apprehension. Two
deputies tried to keep them back but
by the time the train arrived they
had almoet surrounded the group of
prisoners and offioere. When the
train pulled out a sullen jeer of de-
fiance went up and Chairman Craw-
ford said: "They oan persecute ue,
but they can’t make us go to wrrk."
The informations for treason upon
which the members of the advisory
oommittee of the Amalgamated As
sociation arrested to-night were
made by County Detective Baltshoo-
ver, this afternoon, beforeChief Jus-
tice Paxson, of the supreme court of
Pennsylvania. The petition charges
Hugh O’Donnell, Thoe. J. Crawford,
John MoLukie, and 80 others, ell
members of the strikers’ advisory
oommittee, with treason. It stateH
that the defendants, who are inhabi-
tants and residents of tba Common-
wealth of Pennsylvania, did ordain,
prepare and levy war against the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to
the end that the constitution law*
and authority were defied, resisted
and subverted! and that the said de-
fendants on July 1, with hundreds
of others, armed and arrayed in war-
like manner—that is to say with
guns, revolvers, cannons, swords,
knives, etc., they did unlawfully,
maliciously and traitorously assem-
ble ia the borough of Homestead,
and then and there, with foroe and
arms, did falsely and traitorously,
and in hostile and war-like manner,
array themselves in insurrection! and
rebellion against the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania, oontrary to the
duties of allegiance and fidelity of
the laid defendants.
This is the first time in the history
of the state that any resident has
been oharged with treason against
the Commonwealth, and the out-
come of the oaaee will be watched
with interest. The penalty, whioh
was formerly death, is twelve years’
imprisonment in the penitentiary.

A bill (H- B. 8378) for the relief of §1
the soldiers end sailors who serv-
ed in tbe army and navy of tbe
U nited States in tbe late war for
the suppression of «he rebellion
and to restore to them equal
rights with the holders of gov-
ernment bonds.
Whereas the soldiers and sailors
who served in the army and navy of
tbe United States in the late war for
the suppression of the rebellion
wore, from the necessity of the case,
compelled by law to receive for
their services a depreciated currency,
greatly inferior in value at; the time
to the gold coin of the United States,
end
Whereas, the congress of the
United States has heretofore in the
most solemn manner affirmed that
good faith requires that all govern-
ment obligations shall ba, paid in
cola or its equivalent; and
yWhereas, the obligation! of tbe

ors who hasarded all, including life,
that this nation might live, ia of tbe

gress assembled, That there shall

ing tbe war for the suppression of

the sum found due him or them, the
amount thereof to be ascertained aa
follows : The Second Auditor shall
ascertain the amount of currency
paid said soldier or Bailor at each
date of payment during his term of
eervioe, and shall ascertain the gold
value of said currency payable at
the time, by reference to the quo-
tations of gold as oompared with
the currenoy in which said soldier
or sailor was paid, at the city of
New York at that date 1 and said
soldier, sailor or hie legal represen-
tative* shall be allowed and paid
the difference in value between the
currency whioh ho received and the
standard gold coin of the United

paid.
Section 2. That to enable the gov-
