A RAILWAY EMPLo LoYEs, PROTEST.

NEWTON, Kan, Oct. 10-[Special. AT
recess of division No. IL, Order OF Rail
way Conductors, the following resolutions
| were passed:
men to take some political action to pro-
tect their interests, we submit the follow
ing resolutions:
"Whereas, There are now in this state
three distinct and separate political organ
izations, which have in their respective
platforms or declarations as a party de-
clared themselves in favor of certain
economic principles, clearly outlined
therein.
Whereas, Said organizations are each
| assiduously laboring through the party
presses, mass meetings and conventions to
promulgate their party views and to estab-
lish themselves in favor with the voters OF
this commonwealth.
"Whereas We view with alarm some of
these declarations as being derogatory to
our interests and detrimental to the well
fare of every laboring man and woman in
this state and nation; therefore, be it
Resolved. First-We demand that all
railroad legislation shall be mutually in
the interest of the corporations and en-
ployes thereof, believing that the i'll effects
of all unjust legislation are borne by the
employees sooner or later.
"Second-That the interests Of capital
and labor are lnseperable, therefore laws
enacted that are prejudicial to either must
necessarily be destructive TO both, and
hence we favor such legislation as will
maintain the equality of all men without
regard to employer or employe.
"Third-That we are opposed to the sub
treasury scheme. the effects of which
would be to increase the cost of living to
consumers, a large portion of whom are
wage earners; and we are also opposed to
the governments loaning money on real
estate securities.
"Fourth-That self-preservation is dear
er and more sacred to us and those de-
pendant upon us than party evolution.
And we do hereby pledge that we will sup
port any political party whose platform
has incorporated the declarations herein
set forth, believing this to be the most
expedient means of protecting and pro-
moling the best interests of all railroad
employees as well as railway corporations
Fifth-That a copy of these resolutions
be forwarded to the Railway Conductor
for publication; also TO our city papers,

PRISON REFORM.

PITTsBURG, Oct l0.-The twenty first
annual congress of theNational Prison asso-
citation opened this evening in Carnegie s
hallAlIegheny.G .GovernorPattison being u
avoidably delayed, Adjutant General Nc
Clelland welcomed the delegates, who
numbered 800 Mayor Gurley next well
coined the delegates in behalf of the peo-
pie of Pittsburg and Allegheny.
The president of the association, eX-
President Rutherford B. Hayes, was then
introduced and delivered the annual ad-
dress.
Mr. Hayes said that large majority of
the pri-Oner accused or convicted OF crime
in the United States were dealt with in
defiance of just and wise principles in
these four vital particulars:
First-Beginners in law-breaking and
those only suspected of guilt are detained
for trial. huddled together with old and
hardened offenders.
Second-Professional criminals at the
end of their terms are sent forth to prey
again upon society and to influence others
to lead criminal lives.
Third-Discharged prisoners, with all
the chances against them, are compelled
to make living by return to their evil
ways.
Fourth-Prisoners3 are under wardens
and other prison officers appointed with
out regard to their qualifications or expe-
rience. s
These four facts, said the speaker. with
out considering others, would sufficiently
explain the increaseef crime in the United
States The remedy for the first. cause
was the infringement OF jalls so as to keep
separate their inmates, and until that
were done it would be- far. better to cut
down largely the number of arrests of the
young, The remedy for the second cause
was the confinement of the professional
criminal until he is cured of his criminal
habits, if it kept hirea eonvict until the
end of his life The professional criminal
belonged in prison, where he should be
kept earning an honest living. The
remedy for the third cause of the increase
of crime devOlved upon society. There
was a humane obligation, a Christian
duty, which devolved upon society to see
to it that meritorious eX-conYicts should
be given a fair opportunity to earn an
honest living. Lastly, the remedy for the
fourth cause was the passage of laws COM
peliiug the appointment of able and eX-
perienced prison officials. The application
of these remedies devolVed upon society. 1t
should take up the subject and see that its
representatives and agents who make the
laws should do their whole duty with re-
spect to the causes of crime and the treat
ment of criminals.
In the afternoon General Hayes presided
over the meeting of the board OF directors.

GE RMAN AFFAIRS

BERLIN, Oct. 10.-After a long recess,
the bunderath, or legislative body repre-
senting the individual states of Germany,
reassembled on Wednesday. The house
considered, as the first order of the day,
the projected law to repress drunkenness,
which, as is well known. is pet measure
of the emperor. A majority of the pleni-
potentiaries declared that their govern
ments could not accept the project IN its
present form The member appointed TO
the bunderath by the Bavarian govern
ment intimated that the state which he
represented desired no such legislation as
the bill provided The bill ought, he de-
clared, to be withdrawn. The Prussian
member, acting under instructions from
the emperor, was the only plenipotentiary
who defended the measure. The bill was
finally referred TO a commission. 1t IS
certain that it will appear IN the reichstaG
transformed from rude, thorough attack
upon the liquor trade into a mildly
benefcent bill for the protection of unk-
ards. The liquor dealers, though feeling
reassured as regards the adoption of the
bill as a sweeping reform, are arranging
for the holding of congress for the pur-
pose of organizing to politically defend
themselves.
The bundesrath next discussed the aboli
tiOn of the prohibition against the impor
tation of American pork. The house ap-
proved the edict opening the cOuntry's
ports to American pork, but will delay the
decision on the proposal of the chancellor
to relax vexatious formalities restricting
the entry of Austrian, Italian and Russian
pork into Germany.
In response to inquiries it is officially
stated that the reichstag will meet on
Nov. 26. This date about concurs with
that fixed for the reassembling of the
landtag. The delay in reassembiing the
reChstag has given rise to talk in politi.
cal circles that the government is seeking
to restrain the action and limit the prestige
of that body by shortening the sessions,
and thus forcing a hurried discussion of
public affairs.
Special interest attaches to the Social
istic congress which will shortly assemble
at Erfurt. A directing committee has re-
vised the program of the proceedings,
which is now formulated with a clearness
and precision never before seen in any
authorized Socialistic platform Ia ten
resolutions the the entire political and
economic demands are stated. They COM
prise universal suffrage, without distinc
tion as to sex; a secret ballot; proportion
ate representation; voting on Sundays or
holidays; the right of free speech and free
MEETINGS; universal military instruction;
a militia replacing the standing army; the
secularization of the schools; free educa-
tion; free justice; state supported doctors;
the abolition of indirect taxation; eight
hours for a days work; prohibition of the
truck system, and the right of workmen
to form coalitions.
During the emperor's presence in Frank
fort at the electrical exhibition today an
attempt was made to ascertain the i'm
perial opinion in regard to the Russian
loan. 1t is reported that his majesty
frankly said: The bankers can do what
they please My people understand that
lending money to Russia means war on

In an editorial article United Ireland

DIED INTERSTATE.
LONDON. Oct. 10.-Parnells sister, Mrs.
Dickinson, says that no will OF her brother
was found and she does not believe that
he left any, as he said that he did not in
tend to make one. She thinks he wished
his brother, Howard Parnell IAN Ameri-
CAM to inherit his properly. The reports
in regard TO Parnell's alleged
neglect of bis mother have caused great
pain to his relatives. Mrs. Dickinson
said to an Associated press correspondent.
MIR Parnell was very kind to his rela-
tives, especially his mother. He was not
man whose affections were easily engaged,
but a truer friend or a better son and
brother could not be found. He was the
last man to desire his supporters to suffer
in his behalf. am certain that his desire
would be that over his grave all differences
should be sunk"
