Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, has sent
out n circular to the local unions of the
International Union of Bricklayers and
Masons. He reminds them that at the
last convention of their international
union 1t was resolved to refer to the local
unions the question of becoming affiliated
with the American Federation of Labor.
To give the local unions a better idea of
the system and methods of the fedora
ton Mr.. Gompers says that in joining
the federation no member of any union
and no union surrenders any rights. The
question Of managing their trade mat
tiers is left to the unions, without any
possibility of interference by any officer
of the federation.
A union cannot be ordered by the fed
Grafton to strike, and if it has gone on
strike the federation cannot order its
members to return to work. An assess
ment Of three cents a year is levied upon
every member of an international union,
and in case of strikes an additional as.
sessment of two cents a week per mem
Der is levied for five weeks for the benefit
of the strikers.

but cannot get at 1t while here. 1 have not

cans he concluded to investigate. So he
sent ~Stoddard's photograph to the police
Of all large American cities and soon
learned that the governor Of Tennessee
was very anxious indeed to get the prisoner
within his jurisdiction. The fellow, under
the alias of Henry B. Davis, had been sen.
fenced to the penitentiary of that state for
passing bogus checks.
He had hardly donned his striped suit
when Governor Buchanan received a bulky
package by mail. 1t contained a letter from
Lawyer Baptist, who had been Davis coun-
sci at the trial. and a petition signed by
many prominent citizens, including the
judge, jury and states attorney who had
helped to send the man to prison. The
documents asserted the convict's limo
cence so strongly that the governor par
doned him forthwith, only to learn a few
weeks afterward that Stoddard mad forged
the papers.
Naturally he wants to put the rascal
back in the place from which he released
him and has sent on a requisition. Massa-
chusetts and Georgia are also clamoring
for Stoddard's services, but Governor Alb
bett has decided that he must first take q

Rescued from a Pari. Sewer.

Every one who has read Charles O'Mal-
ley" will recall the trick played by the
student Weber, who persuaded the people
that an escaped prisoner was in the sewer
and induced them to tear up the street to
effect his rescue. Unwittingly a resident
of a Paris suburb caused a nearly equal
hubbub the other day. While passing
along the Rue Doudeauville, Montmartre
he heard cries sounding like a repetition
of the word nan or mamma" He
and raised an alarm. Five hundred per-
sons soon assembled round the spot, and
various theories were enunciated. Some
of the ~bystanders were of the opinion that
a M had thrown a child into the sewer.
Others believed that one of the sewer men
had been taken ill and was calling for as
s~istance. At length it struck one person
In the crowd, who had more common sense
than his fellows, that il there had been an
accident of any sort much valuable time
was being lost, and he accordingly rushed
off to the nearest fire signal and summoned
the sapeurs pompiers, that valuable body
OF men for whom the Parisians always
send when there is anything they cannot
understand. In five minutes a detachment
of the gallant fellows came running up
with their machine, and, on being informed
of the cause of the emotion, they disap-
peared down the manhole into the sewer.
In a very short time they were back again
In the street. one of them holding in his
arms a large specimen of the harmless,
necessary cat, which was suffering from a

The play which he has written for Nine.
Bernhardt is taken from Italian history of
the Sixteenth century. 1t tells a story full
of love and intrigue, and concludes with a
very dramatic scene. Both the hero and
the heroine are in prison and are to die,
the hero having killed a man in defense Of
the heroine's honor. A priest offers to aid
her to escape, but as he will not also help
her lover to freedom, she refuses. If he is
to die, she does not care to live. But when
she is taken to the place of execution she
finds that her hero has himself escaped by
other means, and she dies alone.
1t is said that the play gives Nine. Bern
hardt many remarkable opportunities to
display her wonderful talent.

the growth OF n sentiment that looks with evil
eye on Immigration, because the artihc.al
scarcity that results from private property ia
land makes 1t seem as II there Is not room
enough and work enough for those already
here.
Mr.. George says that the pope's
claim that private ownership of land
stimulates industry, increases wealth
n attaches men to the soil and to their
country, Springs from the confusion
of ownership with possession and at
tributing to private property in and
what is due to security of the products
of labor" Concerning the justice of
taking the "unearned increment" by
taxation. he says:
So far from there being anything unjust In
taking the full value of land ownership for the
use Of the community. the real Injustice Is Ia
leaving II In private hands-an injustice that
amounts to robbery and murder.
But while mr. George has shown the
injustice of private ownership of and
and made an almost unanswerable argu-
ment in support of the single tax idea,
1t does not follow that the. single tax is
the panacea for all our economic ills.
Considered as bearing upon the condi-
ton of labor, the land question is only
one of several which must be properly
settled before the producers will be
guaranteed the full results of their toll.
That our present system of land tenure
is radically wrong, all students of the
subject agree, and l have for some time
believed with Mr.. George that while
private possession (where the lapd is used
by the individual in possession) is desir-
able, justice demands that to the people
who have created special values those
values should be secured. Yet the APP
p~licatiou Of this truth could not and
would not make labor free and equalize
opportunities.
Labor must have tools with which to
work or land will be useless. 1t is a mis-
take to say that in the present advanced
and advancing stage of civilization a
man, if he only has access to land, has
an equal show with every other man,
when production is 30 heightened by
machinery, which is monopolized, and
when the products must depend upon

defined what they mean by natural
m~onopolies." 1t doesn't answer to go
back and show what would have been
the result If the land never had been
gobbled up by private individuals. "a

CATERPILLAR ARMY.
Masses Which Stop Railway Trains

A Route Laid Out which They Follow
Crossing the streams by Way

The Carolina Central trainmen have

with caterpillars for four or five days

known as the Big Swamp, and the rail-
road goes through it on trestle-work,

pillars began moving out Of the swamp,
and when they reached the stream over
which the trestles carry the rails, they
massed on the railroad and proceeded
TO cross on the trestles The rails and
ties were covered inches deep with the
moving mass, and the first train that
encountered them was brought 10 a
dead stapd-still, the driving wheels Of
the engine slipping around as II
the rails had been thoroughly oiled.
The engineer exhausted the contents
OF his sand-box before he got through
the swamp and reached clear stretch
of track. II was thought that trip
would be the end OF the caterpillar
trouble, but the very next day train
encountered another army OF caterpil-
lars crossing the trestle and had the
same difficulty. The Charlotte bound
