ALFRED, Aug. 9.-Where William Emery
was today is a question that troubled the
great majority Of the hundreds Of enthusias.
tic Republicans gathered in this old town
very little. But In all companies there will
be found few men who delight to mediate
on useless problems-and 1t was the unani-
nous opinion Of this reflective minority in
today's gathering that Mr.. Emery had taken
to the woods, which are almost as abundant
around Alfred as were the Republicans to-
day. A week ago today, when Mr. Emery,
Mr.. Putnam and Mr.. Redman came 10 ad-
dress the Democrats Of York county, the day
was clear and cool, one of the finest OF the
summer. Today the skies were threatening
all the forenoon and during those morning
hours when the Republicans from the neigh
boring farms and towns were making up
their minds.whether to go or stay at home
rain fell fast with prospect Of continuance.
Yet 1t would fall short Of rather than 20 be-
yond the truth to say that the crowd that
greeted the Congressman from the First Dis
trict today was thrice the size of the crowd
that greeted the Democratic leaders a week
ago. And should the two crowds be meas
ured by their enthusiasm. the gathering Of a
week ago was to the gathering Of today as
tea party to generation.
1t is no disparagement of other political
occasions to say that the parading clubs that
marched through the quiet streets of this
country town today would have made no.
ticeable and successful array. even In a city
so large as Portland. There were from sew
en- hundred to thousand men in line, with
three bands and drum corps. Sanford
alone sent four hundred men. all in white
Republican hats, marshalled by r. A. Kemp
ton, of Springvale, assisted by mounted
aids. There were three clubs from the town
OF Sanford. Most not iceable was the British
American Club, $50 strong. splendid looking
men. Ex-Councillor Earnest M. Goodaii
marched in the ranks with them. as well as
other prominent citizens OF Sanford. who
are Of English birth or parentage. At the
head OF. the column two men bore huge
banner, inscribed:

The carpenters of Denver held
a public meeting last night in the
hall of Carpenters Uuion No. S.

More than 200 carpenters and
joiners were present, many of
them non union men.
Mr.. S. w. Isenberg called the
meeting to order, and Mr.. Garlis,
| a non-union man was elected
chairman.
The following resolutions were
then read and adopted:
WHEREAS. In the past year the
carpenters of this city have had
difficulty between union and nom
union men, some working nine
hours and others ten hours for a
day and bricklayers' stone-ma-
sons, stone-cutters and plasterers
of this city are working but eight
hours per day, and therefore the
carpenters have to be laid off
On account of the other building

The New York socialists pro-
duced, at the Roumania theatre,
one evening last week, a drama
entitled "The Tables Turned" in
which modern courts of law were
keenly satirized and several New
York celebrities, including judges,
district attorneys, Jake Sharp,
Bishop Corrigan, Henry George
and others were mercilessly car
featured. Laurence Grounland,
Edward Goldsmith and A. Rosen-
berg were among those in the cast
of characters. S. +. Shevitch

cording to the New York Star, re-

ment taking control Of the roads
lis making big progress even
amongst the classes who are hor-
ri6ed if called socialists is evident
from the tone Of their mouth
pieces. the capitalist press. About
the most significant utterance
from this quarter noticed lately is
found in the latest San Francisco
Examin<y. In an editorial article
on Strikes and the Public" occurs
the following:
In modern life, especially in this
country. railroads have assumed a
position that makes them indis-
pensable. A six months suspen-
sion of operations would bankrupt
the nation. If the men who own
these vital agencies of civilization
and the men who work them can
not agree upon seme method OF
settling disputes that will not up
set the business of the country,
the public will begin to think OF
adopting some method of its own.
There might be some disadvan-
| tapes connected with government
ownership of railroads, but there
would be enc advantage-there
would be no strikes. Nobody
ever hears of striking letter car
riers, or postal clerks, or compos-
itors in the government printing
Office, or soldiers. If the railroads
were organized on military prin-
ciples, under a chief with a seat in
the cabinet, we should have nc
tied-up trains. In thegreat strikes
of former years mail trains were
allowed to 60 through when moi
another wheel could turn.
This certainly is remarkable
language uttered as it is by :
paper owned and controlled by
one of the richest men on the Pa
ci6c coast. The concluding para
graph of the article would seem tc
Indicate the presence on the En-
aminty editorial staff of a genuine
"crank." The article ends thi:
way:
If the railroad managers have
undertaken a task beyond theil
strength, let them frankly consult
with a committee of congress, anc
perhaps their burden may b.
taken off their hands at a fai
price.

The Burlington strike seems to
begradually fzzling out. That the
strike has had its effect already in
teaching the engineers the neces-
sity of joining for mutual defense
with other labor organizations is
apparant from the fact. as so re-
ported. that the engineers on the
entire U. P. system have joined
