FROM l6 TO S5 YEARS OLD
Young Republicans Limit Age
of Active Membership of
Their Club
Teachers to Meet in New What
com in August For Special
Instructions
Arrested at the Request of the
Salvation Army----Com-
mitted to Jail

The young men Of New Whatcom
turned out in force last evening and
opened the campaign with the forma-
ton of a Republican club, which will
be heard from before the campaign is
closed. The club starts out TO accom-
plish good results, as will be seen by
their salutation which reads:
The object and purpose for which the
club is organized shall be TO work in
entire harmony with every other club
or organization that seeks the interest
of the Republican party, and considers
the principles of the party as para
mount to every personal interest. To
reach young men, especially those who
have recently become voters, and by a
proper explanation Of the principles of
the party induce them to vote the Re-
publican ticket. To organize an active
campaign by means Of speeches, uni
forms, glee club singing and hearty
cooperation with every club or organ
iZation that can possibly draw the at
tention of voters TO the truth of the
issues now before the people.
The report of the committee on or
ganization was in favor of limiting the
membership to persons between the
ages of l6 and 40 years which did not
suit the younger men who preferred to
make the maximum 35 years, while
some of the Older signers Of the call un-
der which the club was formed were in
favor of doing away entirely with all
restrictions in regard to age. What
promised to result in bitter fight be-
tween the younger and the older voters
present was only averted by the offer of
a compromise making 35 years the
greatest age at which active members
could be admitted, while honorary
members Of any age can join the club.
The "Tammany Hall" party was well
represented at the meeting and made "A
fight for recognition, but met with de-
feat in the end and retired from the
hall, leaving the young men i'm full
possession.
The election of officers was then
taken up and J. II. Shiverly was made
president, with w. NJ. Leach ,vice-presi-
dent j. w. Rowland, secretary and f.. Y.
Grassett, treasurer. An executive COM
mittee of one from each ward was
elected, consisting of w. +. Miller from
ward one, +. G. Teck from ward two,
j. Kiidaii from ward three, r.. w. Mil
Ter from ward four, w. /. Edwards
from ward five, and S. G. johnson from
ward six, with the president as chair
man eX-oflicio.
Weekly meetings will be held, at
which prominent speakers will be in
vited to address the club and their
friends. in addition to which uniforms
and torches will be secured for street
parades, and every effort made to give
the young men an influence i'm this
campaign which will make their power
respected i'm the city.

Duncan clark's ndinstreIs

The performance given at the oper a
house last night by Duncan Ciark's Fe-
male Minstrels was witnessed by a
large audience. Not person in the
audience left dissatisfied. 1t Is a clean,
clever show, anything but suggestive
OF vulgarity. Duncan Clark is a gen
tleman who has made life study of
the show business, and he now has
what he considers an entertainment
the people want to see. Twenty pretty
women, beautiful and costly costumes,
specialists, ehoruses, songs, dances and
other features that always draw. He
can return to Nebraska City next sea-
son with the assurance that he will be
greeted with a full house.-Nebraska
City lNeb.) Daily Press, April Is, 1891.
This combination will perform at the
*. of 7. pavilion Friday evening.

How to Make Gravel Roads

Good gravel roads exist In great
abundance throughout the villages and
towns Of Massachusetts. The gravel
should not be a clean, dry gravel, but
should have sufficient clayey or earthly
matter to give 1t the binding quality.
Any pebbles greater than II inches In
diameter should be screened out. The
accepted way Of constructing gravel
road is to lay down layer about four
inches thick and roll IL thoroughly with
a light roller, keeping the gravel wet
while 1t is being rolled. Then add a
second layer, and treat Il in similar
fashion, and finally put on top layer,
rolled with a heavy roller. The sides
of the road should be rolled first and
very compact, and then the middle; in
this way the middle, which receives
the most Of the wear, has the compact
sides TO resist the spreading Of the ma
terial and can be rolled very hard and
solid. A gravel road well constructed
will have a substantially impervious
covering and will shed the water TO the
side bitches. II the side bitches prop
erly do the work Of undertaking such
road would do excellent service with
out being unduly xpensive.-St. Paul
Pioneer Press.

cratic Society Of Washington, James f..
Fenton of Spokane, has been elected q
member of the executive committee for
the government of the National Asso-

Of the National Association was held in
Chicago on Tuesday, June q last, when
a resolution was adopted increasing the
executive committee by the addition of
five new members, the same to he ap-
pointed by the president of the Ma
tional Association. And IL was then
stated that one of these five new mem-
bers should be from the state of Wash
ington, the same to be appointed upon
the recommendation of the president
Of the Democratic Society Of Washing
ton. Hence Senator Drums recon-
mendation Of Mr.. Fenton, who is one
of the leading lawyers of Spokane and
active and influential in Democratic
politics in Eastern Washington.
The officers and members of the ex-
ecutive committee for the government
of the National Association as il eX-
listed on the 2lst of June last, was as

English pay SLIGO for days work,
American pay s5.S3 to S9.SS for eight
hours work.
1t really seems that if protection
has its Fricks," as the Chicago Herald
remarks, Great Britain must have
something very much worse.
The pay of the blast furnace keeper
has been $3.2 per day under the scale
hitherto in force in the Pennsylvania
mills, aud So In England. Ladle men
have received from 1915 to So. IS in the
United States, and from 81 to S1.15 in
England.
This, perhaps, is why the southern
employers, who desire cheap labor, are
in favor of repeal of the "infamous pol
icy of protection and why their
obedient servant, the northern Demo-
cratic press clamors for it.
Converter men are paid from $3.50 to
s. 80 in the American iron works, and
81 AS in England.
Certainly $1.45 is nearer TO the limit
of starvation wages" than $3.50 to
$3.50. We are acquainted with people
who have saved enough to become
house owners out of an income of less
than $3.50 per day.
Rail straighteners earn $40 per day
under the Amalgamated scale in Amer
lea, and Sl.35 in England.
Ten dollars per day is equal to the
salary of the judges of many circuit
courts in rural districts. 1t is $50 per
week. 1t is quite nice thing to have.
Sixty dollars week may be starva.
ton wages, but If Cleveland should be
elected, ,Ehalf million or: so of demo-
Gratis will be found scrambling for pub
lie offices that pay less than half Of $50
week.
The lowest priced labor employed i'm
mills running on the Amalgamated
scale receives $l.50 per day. It's coun-
terpart in England is paid 62 cents.
These figures are submitted TO the
consideration of all thoughtful people
without reference to the proposed re-
duction of IL per cent at the Homestead
works, though that proposed reduction
effects only 325 of those who have been
earning from 1888 to 1915 for eight
hours work, and does not touch the
wage list that ranges from $3.50 10 $3.50
a day. The figures prove that under
protection, wages in America lhave
reached an eminence that seems in
credable to the European workman.
The Homestead matter is to be de-
termined upon evidence. If, despite OF a
fall Of II per cent i'm selling price, S27
being the rate vixen the scale of 1889
was adopted, and S23.75. the rate when
the agreement between Carnegie and
men expired, there still Is profit enough
TO afford compensation to capital with
out reduction of the income of labor, let
old rates prevail. But If the reduction
be necessary, the 325 men affected by IL
still will be In receipt of incomes far in

Thus it seems that the lowest price
paid for eight hours work to any roller
was S7.77, and the highest for labor of
equal duration was Sl9.76.
We make bold to say that there is
hardly one editorial writer on the regu
lar staff of any one of the free trade pa
pers whose editors-in-chief give orders
for "slashing articles on Frick and Car
negie's starvation wages" who is paid
at the rate of IS, ,24S.44 for 46S "turns {"

The English pay of roller in iron

Sl9.76 for eight hours work.
Let us now consider how "heaters"

Pennsylvania mills have been as fol-
lows for the trade year just ended:
