Uocle Sam's Workmen Paid for Labor
Thex Never Perform. A Good Op
; poitunHy for Iteform when Cleve
land Is Elected. Interesting News
From Washington. ...
Special Correspondence of Th Sentinel. '
Washington, D. C, July 2. Presi
dent Harrison " is making a strong
bid for his own State in the coming
election notwithstanding the fact
that the Democrats ignored Indiana,
in a measure, by refusing to nomi
nate Gray for the Vice-Presidency.
The appointment of John W. Foster
to be Secretary of the State increases
what was already a fion's share of
the important officers held by Indi
ana men.
The President, the Secretary of
State and the President's law part
ner and the Attorney General, -with
with the hordes of smaller Hoosiers
that swarm about the Capital, are
calculated to give Iloosier-dom the
swellhead. General New, who man
aged the President's campaign at
Indianapolis and whose reliable re
ports of the. situation brought him
the offer of a job on the reportorial
staff of the New York World, will
almost certainly succeed Chas. Emo
ry Smith as Minister to Russia. Thus
another very juicy plum will be
thrown to Indiana, in the hope that
State pride will force a Republican
majority.
DEMOCRATIC APPROPRIATIONS. ;
.Congress is wrestling with the ap
propriation bills, and the depart
ments clerks are trembling with
fear. Republicans have opposed
Democratic economy with a determi
nation that promises success and it
begins to look as if Democrats will
fail of much service to the country,
as campaign material, in the way of
reducing expenses. Mr. Holman has
obtained leave to have printed in the
Record a comparative statement of
the appropriations of the last and
the present Congress. Mr. Thomas
B. Reed says that tbis will be book
keeping instead of virtue. Mr. Hen
derson, of Indiana, stated the other
day that the bills already passed by
the present Congress appropriate
ferty-two million dollars more than
was appropriated'for the purpose by
the first session of the Fifty-first
Congress.
But a little fight is brewing which
is likely to take some of the wind of
economy oat of Republican sails.
The Republican Senate has increas
ed the appropriation bills for gener
al expenses of the government, and
the conferees of the two branches of
Congress have not yet agreed as to
the amendments. The House con
ferees ref use to concur in amend
ments made by the Senate and cer
tain Senators say that the Senate
should sit till election day insisting
upon the increase in appropriations
which they are now demanding. It
is fairly certain that the House will
not concur and there may be a' con
test between, the branches of Con
gress unique and interesting.
THE OLD FLAQ AND APPROPRIATIONS."
To retrace a lew steps, 1 started
out to say more about the trembling
governmsnt clerk. Washington ex
ists by the government teat and
manages to get the 'cream without
waiting for it to rise. Those who
don't get a pull live by those who
do, so that it there were elections in
the District, of Columbia, . "For the
old flag and appropriations" would
be the strongest possible platform,
and the man who stood on it would
win every time. After a man has
been in the public service for a few
months he learns that the govern
ment owes him a living, and any- ap
propriation or" economy that threat
ens his position is a crime against
humanity. : f i v ' ii t
j A "sundown" city. ' ''
It may be interesting to tne people
of Winston-Salem who earn their
salaries with from tweve to fourteen
hours I of hard work to know that
the thousands who toil for Uncle
Sam kick on five hours during the
summer months. A large number of
tbr government" clerks nndtiineto
acquire a medical-"education from
medical colleges being thus sustained
here, and practice this profession af
ter office hours,--' -"V :

this fight with a prominent physician
who came through the Interior
department and after building hp a
good practice, resigned. He said the

the professors sundown professors,
who knew, mey. were making sun.

added that this was a sundown city.
though v ostensibly work hours end
largely at four a'nd entirely, at five
p.m..- '
1 '"-" "X j "A" CASE IN HAND. f
An incident occurred this, week
illustrating the tenacity with 'Which
government employees rhang c on
once they got ahold. . A young man
from,Sp!atK,Carolina;H :B.. Smith,
entered the service to work bis .way
to a medical education. He jgradaa
ted and found that the time left' on
his bands by the omce hours, was
sufficient to attend all the practice
he was likely to have for some time.
Of course he held to that which was
as certain as the first of the ' month;
Then he married one of his; sister
clerks, a Miss Cleveland, who hails
from "the land of the Dakotas."
The doctor clerk and his wife were
promoted from time to time till their
yearly stipend was $1,400 each, in
addition to the proceeds of a grow
ing practice. The doctors kicked
and the clerks kicked, till there was
no rest for "Calico" Charley Foster,
Secretary of the Treasury, and he
decided to discourage , matrimony in
the departments by making room for
another promotion. .... It would - not
be a very nice thing on the part of
the doctor or his wife, to raise a row
about the removal, and to make
sure of the remaining $1,400 they
are "layin low an sayin' nuffin."'
. STEALING UNCLE SAM'S TIME, i -
Another prominent physician said
to me that these sundown doctors ac
tually steal part of the five -' hours
they are supposed to give to their
country for handsome pay.- Accord
ing to this authority they slip out
luring the- day to see patients.
Uncle Sam shuts his eyes, goes down
to the bottom of his pockets, and
shells out the cash without a. mur
mur. ' 5
This is a glorious country, indeed
for a Washingtonian who has a
pull.

TOM DIXON EMBOLDENED.
He Says He is Going to Say it
r- Again.
New York, July 2. There is a
little story behind the dismissal of
Tom Dixon. District-Attorney Nicoll
was not in Chicago when the Dixon
complaint reached the District At
torney's office. He had left Assist
ant ' District-Attorney Bedford . in
charge. Mr. Bedford failed to use
his usual tact, bat rushed . the case
before the grand jury at once, car
rying the papers before that body in
person. When District - Attorney
Nicoll returned from Chicago, Mr.
Bedford passed a very uncomforta
ble time with him.- So great was
his displeasure that it was reported
at the time that it might result seri
ously.
For nearly two tears District-At
torney Nicoll had been vigorously
prosecuting Koch and his associate
Jbixcise Commissioners for a misde
meanor, trying to convict them and
urging before, the appeliate courts
that they were guilty of the offense
charged. The indictment of Dixon,
f tried, would place him in the ab
surd attitude of trying to send Dixon
to the penitentiary for saying what
he had himself been ursriner upon
the courts lor nearly two years.
There was nothing to do but to eith
er not try the indictment or take the
bull by the horns and -dismiss the
indictment. He took the bull by the
horns. -
The Rev. Mr. Dixon left the citv
last night, but before his departure
fired this parting shot for publica
tion: "I see by the papers as I leave
town on a Southern trip that Mr.
Nicoll dismisses the alleged indict
ment against me or alleged libel. He
makes some remarks n that dismis
sal that are not to my liking. . Every
word 1 said about Joseph Koch was
true, and I have the proofs. I will
return to New York on - Sunday
morning, July 10th, and expose this
whole dastardly conspiracy. I also
promise to make-it warm for that
grand jury." . . ' ' -
The Kev. Mr. Dixon - made this
threat just as he was leaving his
home. Mrs. Dixon,-. a i very hand
some, dark-haired woman overheard
her husbands remarks to the report
er. "Take that back Tom." she
laughingly remarked, "you have won
your ease; lou have been vindicated
in the eyes of justice, tvery fair
minded person in the city is with you
Dut let the matter drop, l ake your
wife's advice and don't fool with
Tammany Hall.- That institution
will try to down you. ' r .
The Rev. Mr. Dixon' has ' gone to
Morehead, N.C., to deliver an address
before the Teachers' Institute there.
He will retnrn pext Wednesday. .

Another week of light receipts al

sonable for . handling leaf than Tor
some time, says the Tobacco Journal
in its weekly review. , "The planters
are still very busy" is one excuse giv
en for light sales.' while' another is
that the tobacco crop in thi section
ia mostly sold out. It is lively that
but a small part of the crop remains
unsold and that receipts from now
on will be comparatively light.
The market during the week was
closely watched by a large force of
buyers and the prices on all sorts of
leaf ruled high. iu very manufacturer
is watching the 2 market closely and
picking up all the best stock he can
find, lulere were, especially active
during the week and all the better
grades were eagerly bid for. Our
home manufacturers lack a good
deal of having all the stock they need
and are on a close hunt for more.
The market throughout the week was
quite strong and closed firm.
The crop prospectH nave improved
during the week. Continued rains
keep the plants growing and some
tobacco is nearly large enough tor
topping, even in this section.
Throughout the State the wop is re

After a bountiful dinner and a so
cial hour, the' warehouse was again

Bowen spoke - on the "Origin e nd
Progress of the 'Sunday Schools."
He outlined the various methods of
religious teaching in past ages, de
veloping, into i the modern bunday
school idea which the needs of the
age demand. . He then traced its
progress and development which
meets our present needs through the
international system, especially em
phasizing the important objects to
be accomplished by their system.
Col. Burgwyn. of Henderson made
a brief, forcible and eloquent address.
In-the business session which . follow
ed, a township constitution was
adopted, officers elected for the ensu-

fori future work.- Seldom does any
occasion awaken more enthusiasm
or afford more real pleasure than did

MORE ABOUT THE SMUGGLERS.
The Bain Family Had a Jewelry Store
in Their Pocltets.
New York, July 2. The latest
news in "regard to the Bain smugglers,
mentioned in yesterday's special dis
patches, has been received.
John Bain, the father of the family,
was accompanied - by his wife, two
decidedly pretty daughters, and a
son.
. .The. Teutonic reached her dock at
the foot of West Tenth street about
4 p. m. yesterday. The Bains were
among the first to land. They were
very well dressed and of refined bear
ing. As soon as they reached the
dock the ladies of the party hurried
to the end of the pier, where a car
riage was awaiting them, and they
entered it and were driven rapidly
away.
The inspectors noticing the son s
pockets bulging out, searched him
and found fourteen gold and silver
watches iihis pockets, worth $ 1,000,
The lather also had several watch
es on his person. After searching
the gentlemen, the inspectors follow
ed the ladies of the family to their
hotel and found that the fair creat
iires . having changed their dresses,
had grown considerably less corpu
lent. Packages of jewelry were scat
tered about the room, with the
strings and straps by which they had
been fastened to the persons of the
ladies. The jewelry was sufficient to
start a jewelry store.

6 diamond rings, 1 diamond brooch,
4 diamond scarfpins, 139 gold chains,
178 pairs of earrings, 68 silver
charms, 129 silver watches, 18 gold

A CANDIDATE FOR HEMP.
A Brutal Father Attacks His Whole
Family.
From the Wilmington Messenger. : .
Lcmberton, N. C, June 30. A
horrible affair occurred near here
yesterday evening about 2 o'clock.
Frank G. Mears, white man living
about eight miles east of town, was
here yesterday accompanied by one
of his little sons about 6 years old.
He compelled the child to walk home,
and being so tired when it reached
there, the little fellow lay down on
the door steps and went to sleep.
The father finding his wife in bed sick,
instead of cooking dinner, became
enraged and picked up . a piece of
scantling and attempted to kill her.
She fled with her little baby in her
arms but before she could get out of
his way the fiendish husband had
dealt the little one two severe blows
on the head. Not satisfied with this,
he proceeded to beat the other chil
dren in a most brutal manner, saying
that he would kill them all. He did
not even spare the little 6 year old
i i j i i . .
uuy usieep on ine steps, dud gave
him a fearful blow on the back of the
head fracturing his skull yery badly.
The inhuman brute then removed
his blood-stained garments, put on
his best suit and came to town to
employ an attorney.
ot long after he reached here the
news of the bloody tradedy was made
known and the Sheriff immediately
arrested the man' and lodged him in
jail. The neighbors who came here
after the Sheriff reported that all
five of the children were dead but
ater reports show that only one.
the youngest, will certainly die. The
others are unconscious, however, and
will either die or be miured for life.
The oldest is nine years old and the
youngest only nine months. When
asked by some one here where his
children were, the villain eaid: "Their
bodies are up at my place but their
s-mls are in Heaven." Never has the
community been so indignant and
but for the fact that he left before
his neighbors could find him. he
would probably have been lynched
It is rumored that he was suspected
oi killing a negro several years ago
in this county, but no shthcient evi
dence could be procured to prove his
guut.

exciting debate on the question the
jury brought in a verdict indicting
the village officials of Port - Jeryis
for criminal negligence. Tne verdict
has surprised the citizens and arous
ed the late witnesses in the case. It
will be remembered that Judge Cul
len ordered the jury back for further
evidence, the jurors having brought

The question now arises what is to
be done to the village officials 1
The proceedings of the Port Jervis
are being watched with unusual in
terest by the citizens, who say that
no one shall be placed in trouble
over the affair.
In fact, the masses are determined
that the lynching shall be a positive
hying proof that worthless char
acters, with criminal intent, must
give iron jervis a wide berth, or
that those who live in the place of
the Lewis stripe mast live up to the
letter of the law in respect to the
wishes of the moral community, or
suffer the consequences.
VEST VS. CAMPBELL.
The Missouri Senator Shows un the
Republican Chairman
Washington, D. C, July 1. "I first
encountered him in St. Louis several
years ago when a special committee
of the Senate met there to investigate
the great beef trust which Armour,
oi tnicago, anu nis associates were
at tat time and are still manipulat
ing. Campbell appeared as the at
torney for Armour, and began at
once to throw obstacles in our path.
He did everything he could to prevent
the gathering of information by the
committee which would show the
inside workings of the beef monopoly
and how the producers of beef were
opposed by it. He followed the com
mittee to Chicago, Kansas Citv, New
lork and Washington, continuing
his obstructive tactics at every point,
and at Chicago he capped the climax
oy instructing his clients to disre
gard the summons of the committee
to appear before it. Armour and
his associates refused to appear, and
since the committee could notcompel
their appearance in Chicago, we were
forced to wait until our return to
Washington. When the summons
issued from this point, where the
committee procured the necessary
authority, Armour somewhat reluc
tantly came on and was interrogat
ed. But several of his associates
eluded the committee by going to
Europe and remaining abroad until
the danger had passed, and in that
way the committee was balked of
performing much of the valuable ser
vice lor which it had been commiss
ioned. This was the work of Camp
bell, and illustrates how vigilantly
he serves the great trusts that fee
him."

CARNEGIE SHOTS DOWN.

Workmcm Pinkerton Men Em- .
: ployed to Prevent Violence.
Philadelphia, June 30. The Car
negie lrpn Wrks shut down this
morning. - .
Thirty-eight hundred working-men
have been turned out. The bitterest
feeling prevails among' them and
bloodshed is expected today.
Yesterday's developments in the
controversy over the wages of, iron
and steel ' -'workers were exciting:.
Homestead is the centre of interest.
The latest information concerning
the intentions of - the Carnegies ia
that they will discharge all of their
4,000 employes who do not accept
the reduction in wages by Friday
and will employ only non-union men
after that date. ,
The adoption of this policy means
the. breaking up of homes or the
surrender of the. privileges of be
longing to trade unions, and the
men at Homestead may be counted
upon to resist strongly. :, The deter
mination to make the Homestead
plant non union is said to have been
reached at a conference of Carnegie
officials yesterday. Representatives
of the firm denied to affirm or deny
that statement this afternoon. They
do deny, however, that any Pinker
ton men are guarding their works.
This statement is met with the posi
tive assertion of workingmen that
leaders of Pinkerton forces are in
consultation daily with the mill offi
cials at Homestead.
The National Tube Works Compa
ny, which employs tour thousand
men, signed the scale yesterday,
agreeing to pay for another year the
wages their employes have received
during the past twelve months. At
the National Tube Works every
grade of iron is manufactured, and
the workmen are very positive that
if this concern can pay present wa
ges other firms can do likewise.

says that Senator Stewart will accept
the nomination for President on the
People's party ticket.
Senator Stewart has all along
been denying that he would haye
anything to do with the Third party,
and so this announcement will be
