AN Evil CORRECTED

The action of the council in discuss.
ing the matter of contractors board
ing houses and employment agency
fees charged to street contractors,
employees will no doubt lead to these
evils being remedied at an early date.
Every member Of the council is favor
able to the insertion in all contracts
to be let in the future, of a clause
which will protect the laborer from
the necessity Of boarding at the con-
tractors camp and from the payment,
to an employment agent, Of an exor-
bitant fee before securing employ
ment under the contract.
So far as contracts now being com
pleted are concerned the council is
powcrless to act. In the future these
matters will be so regulated in the let
ting Of contracts that the employees
will be at liberty to board where they
please, and will, so far as the council

THE DOGS OF WAR

The signs of the times, if we mis-
tage not, indicate a terrible eruption
in Europe, at no far distant day. The
German Emperor will never rest easy
till he has written his name in blood,
and made a record in history. Just
what excuse he has for plunging his
empire into war is hard to figure out.
France has been expecting this trouble
for years, and is prepared for the
dogs Of war;" when Germany lets
them loose.
Money is the sinews Of war, and
Russia may experience some trouble
on account Of the trouble of the
ROthschilds drawing in their money
and refusing to. loan any more to the
ear on account Of his banishing the
Jews from Russia.
There is but little doubt that the
/ German emperor, when in England
some months ago, had an understand
ing with his grandmother, Queen Vic
toria, on the subject Of the impending
conflict.
And France was not idle with hel
influence on Russia The armies are
being maSsed ON the Russian frontier
and while they all say peace, peace,
they mean war.
History records many nations going
to war on the smallest possible prcteXt
and armies have met before the world
was aware Of it.
Italy is bankrupt and she tries tC
keep her own people from having a
revolution on the clustering of the
New Orleans trouble. 1t would be
much cheaper for Italy to declare war
against the United States than to have
a rebellion at home. She has a splen-
did and powerful fleet, and her army
is large and well armed and equipped.
1t would be a good lesson for the
American people to have it demons
trated to them the necessity Of having
a navy and coast defense.
There is a national economy some
times which borders on national in
sanity. We have had a slight touch OF
it, and the sooner we make the nations
OF the earth respect our government
the better it will be for our nationa
honor.
