More Millinery Premium.


Courts have always been adjudged
competent to purge their own rec
ords of error. The San Antonio Fair
association was court, its officers
were the officers of that court, its
Judges the judges of such court, ana
its awards the verdicts of such court.
That court must be adjudged compe-
tent TO purge its own records of errors,
and the millinery award, over which
so much needless controversy has been
had, must be governed by this plain
and obvious rule. The records
of the San Antonio Fair association
show that the clerk of that court made
a vital error in recording our entry,
and by that error our millinery
Display was made to appear as not
i'm competition, while we were shown
i'm competition where we had not
made entry. AS further result of
that error our display of millinery was
not passed upon by the Judges and the
award was made to another on bon
nets, for which we had not entered.
The general surprise manifested at the
award led to inquiry. This resulted
i'm discovering the error, not ours, but
of an officer of the court, whereby our
entry was shut out. Manifest justice
demanded review of the pro-
ceedings. and a review OF the
proceedings resulted in reversal OF
the verdict and we secured the blue
ribbon and diploma for the BEST Dis
play of Millinery" which was the
ONLY premium offered under that
head. We made no entry for anything
else, were in competition for nothing
-. In i,t in anvfhlnU
else. 1t was not our fault that the
error was made. nor was it right that
we should suffer therefor, and another
take the honors to which we were
Justly entitled. The judges did or did
not make a true award in awarding
us the diploma for the Best Display
of Millinery" If they did not, We cam
not help it. We only know their YER
diet is sustained by the best
taste in millinery in this
city, and that inquiries for
our millinery are all the rage.
Now, does our competitor desire tnat
we should be shut out from competl-
ton with him on a clerical error, or
does he desire that the corrected YER
dict of the court should stand? Inc
private history of the committee OF
award in making their verdict, we DO
not know. We do know that the popu-
lar verdict is with us, and we believe
that the committee were too honorable
to be governed by personal feelings,
and too we'll posted in their work 10
err in making their verdict.
Call and see our diploma and see
lust how it reads, and you will find 1t
reads: "Best Display of Millinery"

SIX DOLLARS A WEEK

The existence of a man, his wife and
two or three children on So week can
be nothing but slow starvation. What
sort of work can a man do in the mines
on two scanty meals day, to say moth
ing of the moral effects of sOrdid pow
erty and famished mouths at home? To
expect any family to buy the bare nee
essaries of life for Sc a week would be
palpably absurd. Such an income COM
pels a man to get into debt if anybody
will trust him, and if he falls sick sends
him to the hospital and makes paupers
of his wife and children.
At the Sloan and Continental collier
les of the Delaware, Lackawanna d
Western Railway company a reduction
of miners wages to Sc week went into
effect yesterday. To a committee of
miners, who waited on the managers for
more liberal treatment, various reasons
were given for the action. However UNI
satisfactory these reasons may appear
to the workmen, it is thought their ne
cessities will compel them to accept the
reduction.
The rates of coal mining are deluSive.
Men are paid for their work by the
piece, receiving a certain price for a
given number of carloads. When this
price is reasonable, by working full
time miners can make good wages.
When the prices are low the miners can
vet manage to gain subsistence by a
full days labor. But work is very often
slack in the coal regions, and men are
often put on half time. By the half
time system on low rates, strong-bOdied
miners are reduced to distressing want,
and suffering is universal.
Even if the necessities of the case
seemed to demand this reduction by the
Delaware, Lackawanna IL Western
Railway company, is il wise policy to
keep skilled miners on wages that
starve ont their strength and incapac-
itate them for hard work when the need
for it comes? If days labor is worth
anything, it ought TO be worth days
| living. But starvation now seems the
only alternative in the Lackawanna
! collieries. The miners must stave with
out their wages and starve with them.
The trouble seems to be that the com
pany is paying three men to do the work
of one at the pay of one, on the chance
for full work for the whole three in the
future. Certainly, it is well to have
plenty of men available. But it will
cost more than the company is spending
to keep them available. But whoever
suffers, the stockholders do not.
And this is tariff-prOtected industry

MIR. MORTON ACCEPTS.

In this issue of the GLOBE is given
the letter of acceptance Of Mr.. MOTION,
the vice-presidential nominee of the
Republican party. 1t will not surprise
the country that this brief and unam-
bilious epistle contains no startling
propositions or remarkable arguments.
1t is a PLAIN, stereOtyped document,
announcing that he accepts the candi-
tiacy for which he has been nominated,
and takes with it the whole theory of
protection, of all shades, cOlOrs and
opinions. Unlike his superior on the
ticket, Mr.. MORTON abstains from
celebrating platitudes, and is quite as
abstemiouS in the matter of reasons for
