A Ukian. Cal, man, the owner OF n
three-story hop house, conceived the
idea OF turning the building into a
mammoth incubator for the Matching
OF chickens. In "A few weeks he had
tho place In condition. and tho furnace
was set TO work on "A setting OF 5000
eggs. At the expense OF "A cord and a
half OF wood between 100 and Z. 900
chickens were chirping In the hop
house at the end OF the period OF incu-
baton. This Is not a very good aver
age for a flrst-class incubator. but IL Is
thought that with the exercise OF more
care better results can be obtained.

A Set BACK for PoudsrIr.


The third party movement dies not pros
per, notwithstanding Mr.. POwderly's efforts
In is behalf Mr.. POwdsriy appears 20 be
the only one who wants q third party. At
the nesting Of the leaders Of the alliance
and labor organizations in Washington the
other day il was distinctly announced that
I these organizations had no intention Of
establishing new party. The purpose was,
/ it was stated, to get such legislation Is the
| organizations wanted from the old parties.
NJ. Powderly. however. is pulled up with
with the idea that he has sufficient Influence
/ to start q new party, and. according TO the
reports, be has been acting upon this idea
ever since the adjournment Of the Ocala
convention. He has been working quietly,
however, because be is far from certain Of
success.
Recently he issued circular reques ting
all labor organizations 10 send delegates to
q conference % organize a new party in
conjunction with the farmers alliance.
One Of these circulars was sent TO she
American Federation Of Labor, the strong
est labor organization in the country. The
executive council Of that organization met
in New York city on Tuesday, and it was
decided 70 take no notice whatever Of Mr..
Powderly's circular.
The refusal Of this powerful organization
TO approve Mr.. Powdsrly's scheme is a
great setback for him. Without its help he
can do nothing. Its president said that it
would be a mistake for labor organization
TO take an active part in politics. He
thought it was about as much as a labor
organization could do to attend to labor
matters.
Mr.. Powderly hoped TO draw the Fedora
ton Of Labor into his new party scheme.
IL he had succeeded he would have made
the Knights Of Labor the leaders in it. with
the hope, doubtless, that be would be chosen
70 manage the new party.
As matter Of fact there is no opening
for new party at this time. There is no
great principle upon which to base it.
No party without a principle that
could take firm hold upon
the hearts and consciences of the people
would have ghost Of chance for success.
Neither Mr.. Pc wderly nor any other leader
of the confederated labor and alliance
organizations has in mind such principle.
And there Is no great leader in any one of
the organizations. The labor and alliance
organizations are asking legislation which
they hope would bsnent their members, and
that Is all. Mr.. Powderly is only wasting
his time in 50 far as his new party work Is
concerned.

The validity and constitutionality of the
Mckinley bill are to be tested in the su-
preme court. A case was argued in the
United States circuit court for New York
on Wednesday, in which the following
points against the bill were made, viz: Q)
The bill signed by the President was not
the bill that passed congress, one section
having been omitted. t9 Section 3, giving
the President power to continue or suspend
duties in certain contingencies in the inter-
ests of reciprocity, is unconstitutional, be-
cause cona ress cannot delegate such powers.
S) The sugar bounty is an unconstitutional
diversion Of the public money to private
benefit. The case goes to the supreme
court at once.
