I'lillry of Intimidation. Secretary Plfenderfer, of the stiver party National Committee, la Juiitly Indignant over what he think Is an intimidation of ths worklnrnien In various states.

"1 am receiving letter every day." says Mr I1 fanderfer, "which furnish conclusive proof that the worklngmen In a numbor of state ara being forced to Join McKtnltiy clubs against their wishes. Many of th letters I am getting com from Ohio, and the proof haa been furnished me In a number of Instance. Th laboring men ar tielng made to Join these cluba. or they will discharged. The same coercion Is being used on small merchants In towns where Mr-Klnley money coutrola things.

On of these merchants has written me that for policy's sk. and becau he la afraid hia business will ba destroyed, ha and his two sous have oltied a McKJnley club. He write, how ever, that when the election takes place he lorsn't think McKlnley will ifet aa large a vol as la on th club a rolls. This kind of business Is worse than an- tehelUum slavery. It Is the white man who Is being slaved.

If thia thing got-s there will be no freedom for the wurktngmen In this country, and tha sooner they realise thia and assert their Uidependanc tha bet ter It will ba for them.

This section plainly refers merely to the protection of tha state aalnst Interfer ence with their authority, laws or property by domestic violence, aad they are wisely made the sole whether and when they need auch protection. Mr. Bryan be trays a consciousness of the limited operation of this provision in tha expression. "Federal assistance, In the clause I have quoted.

Such flenses in no wise menaoe the government of the state within which they sua committed. Therefore, the state cannot require protection against them. The state haa no duties to discharge tn these matters. Therefore It can require Federal aaslstanca" with respect to them. Of course, domestic violence is often, aa In tha recent riots, directed against both state and Federal authority Indiscriminate ly, so that either or both may auppreas It And In such caasa tha action of each In maintaining Ra own authority over the sub ject committed to It tends to aid the other.

What I have aald Is well known to lawyers and students of the constitution. It Is chiefly Intended for the people at large, before whom the subject has not been brought. I will recall tn thia connection the following resolution, proposed by Hon. John W. Daniel, of Virginia, who was runDisr or ths coxvayrriosr Which nominated Bryaa, which was passed by the Senate July 12.

1X44 (Congreasional Record. Pag bvOtaij. without apparent dissent: Keeolved. That the Senate Indorses the prompt and vigorous measures adopted by tha Preeldent of th United States and the members of bis Administration to repulse and repress by military force th interference of lawless men with the due process of the laws of the United States and wtth the transportation of tha malls of the United States and with commerce between the states. The action of the Preeldent and bis Administration has the full sympathy and support of the law-abiding mass re of the people of the United States, and he will be supported by all departments of tba Government and by the power and resources of the entire nation.

It must be that Mr. Bryan, amid the many demands on his time and attention, has fallen Into an Inadvertence. I cannot believe that he really thinks the President has no power under the conetltutton and laws to maintain the Government Intrusted to his charge, Kor can I bellev that Mr. Bryan means to promise or to make or per mit others to think he haa promised not to Interfere if he should be elected and the situation of the riots of should arise during hia term. I will not lightly question et Iter his knowledge as a lawyer or his sincerity as a public man.

Certainly his let ter Is generally misunderstood, unless It means either that Mr. Bryan thinks the President has no power or that he would himself not use it if elected. Jul. box Hx mow CONSULTING With the Silver Leaders. Chairman Jones Visits New York aad Reports the Sitnation Satisfactory.

and tended to greatety Intensify the panicky feeling which has prevailed for some days past. The failure of the Bank of Comrnerce Is the fourth that haa occurred in the last few days. The American National lad off. th Union National went op Wednesday, the Mutual National Thursday and the Bank ot commerce to-day. Trie latter was a state bank, with a large number of small depositors.

It waa deeply Interested in the horneateed bualnee. and had a large amount out on real estate. Yesterday there waa HJCAII KI OJ THI BAKK. But there was every confidence that und tit fluu rule, and with that aaslstanca of th other banks. It would pull through, and it waa the sentiment-of th business com mundty that the panic was over.

This morn ing, however. It was found that the securl ties of the Hank of Commerce consisted mainly of real eatate mortaragee and oould not be realized on, as the other banks fused to advance cash, and It waa advised to ckoae, as it must rnevftahly succumb sooner or later to the run. and by rloelng now It would better protect the depositors. There wss a la rice mob of people in front of the bank doors this morning, waiting for them to open, and there area quite a sen tlonal scene when the notice of suspen slon was posted. There waa a run In eonae-quenre on nearly all the other banks, and on the savings bank, but they ware protect ed by the fiO limit and the three-months' clause, and all got through without trouble.

The People's Bank, another state affair with email depositors, suffered most from th run. The failure of the Bank of Com mere this morning HAD A SAD trnjrT On the situation. The bank was in a sorv ent condition, and its failure from lnabll lty to realize on Its securities at once com pletely checked tbe reviving- esolMeBca. It is expected that the panicky feeling will now prevail for several days. No harm can occur to-morrow, as It is a half holiday, and the banks are open only two hours, from 10 to 12.

It is hoped tnat the scare will be over by Monday, but In the preaent excited condition of the popular mind It Is Impossible to predict that with any cer tainty. Mr. Escot t. Untied Slate Bank Run lner, arrived to-day. and took charge of the Union National Bank.

He would make no statement, but that the examiners are get ting down to the defalcation was shown by the arrest this afternoon of Louis Co- lamb and F. Lrefe, Individual bookkeepers of the bank, charred with being Implicated in the defalcation. It is reported that there will be two mere arrests of persons wholly unconnected with the bank who worked from the outside. The Indications are that It waa a repetition of operations made In New York some time ago with the Shoe and Leather Bank of that city, tn which one banker riouRxn so Leefe is chanred wtlh ahvtng changed the ledger of individual depoalta so that the bank is errt fOM.UOO, making it appear to owe flavors), while 112.000 was due it.
