having the mask torn from De Youug's
hypocrital face in this matter, because, as
they said. it shows him up In his true colors.
There is bitter taste in the mouths of
the members of the Iron MoIders' Union
whenever they mention Mike de Young
They hold him responsible for the long
strike and the bloodshed, the starvation,
blighted homes snd broken hearts that fol-
lowed in its wake.
Before that strike was ordered the molders
had a powerful organization. They main
tanned high standard of wages, and took
care of their unfortunate brethren. Times
were dull, aud both employers and employees
were satisfied that something had to be done
to arrest general disaster.
The proprietors of the foundries formed
an association and called upon the unions
Of ironworkers to aid them in sustaining
and building up the iron-msking Industries
of the city.
The employes-moIders. boiler-makers,
machinsts, blacksmiths and others-formed
what was called the Iron Trades Confer
ence. This body, In order that it might
uphold the manufacturers and keep its
members busy. agitated in favor of the con-
structiOn of all iron work ordered on this
SOno1 Wy IOCdl itS anu NOi
Through lis efforts the Board OF Super
visors compelled all street railway COM
panies operating plants in this city TO have
their rails made in local foundries. and all
was going well with masters and men.
Then Mike de Young began TO build his
big chimney. which, as structure designed
for the escape of gas, is properly called the
Chronicle building.
Mike. while posing as the true friend OF
labor and the foster father OF home indus
try. found that he could save $1,000 by hay-
ing the iron for his chimney made in Chi
cage. 1t was made there in spite of the in
dignant protests of manufacturers and men.
The iron conference talked of boycott,
but they wore afraid of Mike and took no
action.
Other builders seeing that Nike was
not punished for his mesnness followed his
example. and the conference, having sur
viyed its usefulness, dishanded.
Then the manufacturers seeing that they,
by De Young's action, would have to CON-
pete with the cheap labor employing
foundries of the East decided to reduce
wages. The great strike ensued, resulting
In the death Of three men, the loss of
S200,0 900 to the Molders' Union and the
partial erippling of the iron industry.

HE PEOPLE AGAINST HIM.

If Harrison fails to carry the State oi
California the Republicans may thank
Mike de Young for ii. The probability is
strong that the State will remain true 10
the party on national issues. but even the
most stanch partisans are compelled to ad-
nit that the contest is not without an ele-
ment of doubt.
For eight years at least California has
been unflinching in her devotion to the
principles of the party, and it has been the
constant boast of the campaign orators that
''it would be on the shores of the Pacific
that the Republicans would make their
great stand"
Blaine in 1884. Harrison in 1883 and Mark
ham In 1890 demonstrated that the Repub-
llcan sentiment was strong and growing

Northern States had gradually strength

cepted that California was as safely
Republican as Pennsylvania or Vermont.
Even the Democrats admitted this, and in
all estimates made California was counted
as safe for Harrison.
Suddenly, however, and almost without
warning change has taken place. The
Democrats have taken courage and the
Republicans have lost confidence. They
still believe that the State is Republican,
but hardly anyone can be found who does
not think that the majority will be
materially reduced.
In looking about for an explanation the
almost invariable answer when the inquiry
Is made is mike de Young"
Said prominent Republican last night,
who is an ardent supporter Of Harrison: /:
There is not the least doubt IN my mind
but that we will carry California, but If we
had two men like De Young, instead of one,
in the State the Democrats would beat us
out of our boots.
why? Well. there are a number Of
causes. In the first place the man has
made himself so obnoxious to the people of
the coast that hundreds Of Republicans
will vote tie Democratic ticket out of pure
spite. In other words tEere are n great

An English LAWYERS .eReports..

The humor Of the legal mind is some
times a trife subtle, writes London
correspondent Of the Yorkshire Post.
There is just now to be seen in the win
dow Of famous secondhand bookshop
in the Strand a complete set Of Voltaire
in fifty volumes. The set is bound in
what is technically known as 'slaw
calf" It has evidently belonged to a
lawyer who hesitated to let his clients
perceive that he was given to reading
anything SO mischievously frivolous as
the philosopher of Ferney, or who could
not resist his own little joke. Instead,
therefore, of lettering the volumes ssvol-
taire, " which everybody would have un-
derstood, he had them inscribed s'Arou-
cts Reports" The joke would of course
be lost upon those who happened to have
forgotten that the great philosophers
proper name was Arouet de Voltaire.

According to the clerk of the Good

Essex streets, New York, the polyglot
character of city life is there we'll illus
trated. His task is to assign hundreds
of patients to the various departments
of the dispensary. Many of the patients,
having been treated often before, know
that it is their first duty to sit on the
benches and await their turn. But
scores do not know so much, and when
the ignorant ones come, crowding to the
busy clerks desk, he simply repeats
'sSit down" in all the Languages at his
