Political interference with any mem

But the accumulation and growth of
political as well as all other information

provided for. 49,
Their insurance department affords
means against sudden want or death of

Their statistical bureau seeks critical
information and the liberal views as
foreshadowed in their debates tend to
eliminate sophistry. The means of COM

all the assemblies.
A few of the burdens that we are un-
justly compelled to bear may be enumer-
ated as erroneous legislation resulting in
a hotbed of tyrannical monopolies and
the crippling of individual effort; une-
quail taxation, suspect and gag laws in
various states, the unwarranted farming
out of natures elements of mans hveli-
hood, fraudulent competition at home
and abroad, public and private men and
contracts corrupted, our commerce given
away, our domain squandered, private
property stolen away under the forms of
law, our victuals deeteriously adulter-
ated, our clothing shOddy, our clergy,
doctors, attorneys and statesmen fOrsak.

1t is not remarkable, perhaps, that the
aristocratic press should endeavor to ex-
cite prejudice against labor association
which represents over 100000 mechan-
les. especially when 1t is organized ON a
platform of principles to be made polit-
ical issues. So long as laborers organize
for benevolent ard protective purposes
the afistocrats are satisfied, because the
benevolent objects tend to reduce public
expenditures for aims, and it is easy to
Illustrate the protective objects when
they take shape But when the workers
organize for the purpose of voting in
their interests the matter begins to as
sumo dangerous aspect.-Akrsn Union

lake captain who was once crossing Saginaw
bay In his schooner with such gale bowling
after him that no one expected the craft to
reach harbor. As the gale reache Its climax
the captain announced to the mate beside
him:
"Mr. Thomas, if we come safe out of this ]

The mate said IL was the same with him, and
the captain presently continued:
"And I'll never utter another oath"
The mate agreed to also stop swearing, and
this warmed tho old man up to promises:
"And solemnly declare, Mr.. Thomas, that
I'll leave of chewing and smoking"
"There's another thing, captain" shouted

IT LOOKS very much like Messrs. Murch
and Mullett have made mistake in the
course they are taking in regard to the
charges they have preferred against Super
vising Architect Hill. 1t is true that the
Committee holding the investigation is not
possessed of the powers of sending for per-
sons and papers and administering oaths (;
neither has it any money wherewith to
pay witnesses. On the other haad the Com
mittee seems disposed to do what is right
and just in the matter according to the
testimony that comes before it. The ses-
sions are with open doors and reporters are
freely admitted From these it will be
seen that the case as made out would 90 to
the public, and even though the full
facts did not transpire at this hearing, il
Murch and Mullett really know anything
damaging and are not merely vaporng,
the one to gain notoriety and the other be-
cause of jealousy, enough would become
known to make Congressional overhaul

promises to do as much in this line as did

The Late Cock Fight.

The recent cock fight continues to create
some excitement in police and sporting cir
cles and among the members and agents of
the S. + G. A.
Major Dye was seen this morning at his
office in regard TO the matter, and said that
the matter had been under Investigation
ever since its occurrence on Monday oven
ing, and some prosecutions would result
promptly. The statement that he Major
Dye had been surprised to read the ac-
count of the contest in THE EVENING
CRITIC was incorrect, as, in fact, he was on
Louisiana avenue late on Monday after
noon and was notified that the cock fight
was just drawing to n close. The Major
thought it was just too late to summon
policemen for raid, and so did nothing in
the matter.
Officer McMahon, who docs duty on the
beat where the fight occurred, has been
working up the cases under the direction
of Lieutenant Kelly, and to-day swore out
warrants against Mr.. Pumphrey for allow
ing the batting of fowls in building under
his control, and against two owners of
birds that participated. The names of the
latter will not be made public until the
arrests are made.

it was compelled to succumb to the harsh
measures adopted against it by the
British Government. The National
League has been organized to con-
tinue the good work. 1t would of
course be useless for the Land League to
continue its existence in this country after
the death of the parent society. To-day's
