The result of this experiences viii Be-.
evident in the official no less than ID
the private entertainments to be eiv-
en- within the White House during tho
four years to come.
That Mrs. John C.@CarlisIe win bs
the social leader in the Cabinet goes
without saying. From residence Of
seventeen years in Washington. she il
preeminently fitted for that position.
Thoroughly conversant with every
detail OF official etiquette, and kind
hearted woman. Of boundless hospi-
tality, the wife of the Secretary OF the
Treasury will have the first voice a.
mong the ladies Of the Cabinet. and
to her will be referred for arbitration
all intricate social questions.
There was time, not long ago,
when to be the private secretary of
the Executive meant to be messen-
ger. copyist. ar clerk. confidential and
valuable but of no great Importance.
To-day private secretary is man Of
power aud influence. whose favor is
courted and dlsapproval feard. H.
has become position Of honor and
trust. He is expected to ward of
bores; to see that persons entitled To-
attention are given it; that matters Of
msment are not neglected; that enc
mics are placated with honor and no
offense given to friends. Great credit
is due to Lamont for the present i'm
portance OF this position. Before HE
time the post has been occupied by
able men, but he widened the sphere
OF usefulness and elevated the duties.
Maj. Halfor maintained the standard
in his execution Of the position for
ex-President Harrison. During La
mont's last year of service the salary
was increased to $4,000 Oh the Presi-
dents recommendation.
Six days has he labored and on the
seventh he rested and did not go to

parently an increased mum Der of
applicants. They come and pass in
terminably, each tackled to the side OF
a congressman. Congressman SPRING
er appeared in the throng tho other
day. He sought.a little further in
formation from the President regard
ing the chances of ex-sfice holders.
He got it. He left with the general
air of man who has had information
pressed into him with hydraulic ram.
The assertion that editors are not
to be generally recognized by the new
administration is true. MIR. Cleve-
land believes that his predecessor
suffered through the charge Of have
ing subsidized the press, and he dose
not intend to run the same gantlet.
The decision is also to be made par
ticularly applicable to newspaper men
who desire to be postmasters in their
towns.
Out of the discomfort and death con-
sequent upon the neurological condi-
tions prevalent here March 4th. has
arizen national outcry for q change Of
the inaugural date. There is much
clamor for the oft proposed reform
and perhaps the next congress will
reach the conclusion that constitu-
tiOnal amendment should at once b
submitted to the people.

Sauce For Goose and Gander.

Hon. Ignatius Donnelly, member of the
state senate of Minnesota, is the active
leader of the war upon the coal trust
which, under the title of Northwestern
Fuel company, controls the coal market
of the northwest and robs the people
right and left. In recent address made
at mass meeting held in st. Paul Mr..
Donnelly created sensation by suggest
ing the passage of law "exempting
from punishment anybody who would
steal from proved combine"
Judge Barrett in New York declared
that the Clothing Manufacturers asso-
citation, which applied for an injunction
against the Garment Workers union to
restrain the latter from issuing boycott
ting circulars, had no standing in court
of equity because it, the Manufacturers
association, had not "clean hands" If
those who would take coal without pay
ing for it from the Northwestern Fuel
company could have the prosecution
brought in court of equity, it might be
possible to get a decision to the effect
that stealing from thief is not crime.

The Coming Labor Movement.

In an address delivered before the St.
Louis Ethical society, W. L. Sheldon
said:

Of present human society is the great la
Dor movement. I mean the extraordi-
nary fact now to be witnessed where a
mighty class all over the world is at last
seeking to uplift and elevate itself
through its own efforts. What is need

They need to be men with superior gifts,
able by their own efforts to rise out of
their class and figure conspicuously in
the business or political life of the world
and yet who would be willing to give
up those ambitions, stay among the ele-
ment where they were born and use all
that unusual degree Of energy and capac-
ity for ameliorating the conditions of
their class. The trouble has been in our
day that when man shows any superb
ority he wants to rise in some other pro-
fession and join another stratum of So
ciety.
The essential thing now is that new
religious order should arise with the same
spirit that has actuated the devotion and
the sacrifice of the saints and the mar
tyrs in past history, but whose members
instead of devoting their enthusiasm to
drawing human attention away to an
other world should concentrate their en-
ergies in teaching that struggling class
how to get the most life out of their pres
ent conditions. believe in the coming
of new trades unionism. 1t is not
going to do away with the organization
of labor as it exists at the present day.
1t is to be the union of the wage earning
class all over the world to discover how

By the significant vote of 120 to 10 the
Illinois house of representatives passed a
resolution providing for the submission
to the people of the following amend
ment to the state constitution:
That the general assembly shall have power
and IT shall be its duty to enact and provide for
the enforcement of all laws that 1t shall deem
necessary to regulate and control contracts,
conditions and relations existing or arising
from time to time between corporations and
their employees.
Legislation has been enacted upon
some of the lines covered by the pro-
posed amendment, but has been declared
unconstitutional by the supreme court
This amendment, if adopted. will open
the way for sweeping legislation con-
corning the relation of corporations and
their employees. 1t will open the way
for courts of arbitration and for methods
of enforcing or inducing observance of
their DEGREES and findings.

Last of the Stalwarts.

Notable was that banquet given in Phil
adelphia to the survivors of the memora-
BILE 1906" who voted for Grant at Chicago
in 1880. All but the very youngest among
our voting citizens can recall the sensa-
tion produced at the Republican presi-
dental convention Of that year, when,
with Roscoe Conkling at their head, the
BOG stood together and voted through 80
straight ballots to nominate Grant for
third term. One of the humors of their
opponents, after the convention was
over, was to have huge cast iron medals
struck, bearing in big letters the figures
1906" and send them to the members of
that band But it was settled then and
there that the American people would
never consent to let any man be candi-
date for president for third term. 1t
was at this time, too, that Blaine gave
Conkling and his men the name of "Stal-
warts" One might have thought it was
forgotten, that name, but William w.
Hicks of Florida, who was one Of the
oOo, etooliSu dO Iut DduuueL
that the Stalwarts of 1880 would still be
living in the hearts of the American peo-
pie when the Stalls. themselves had "at-
tanned the freedom Of eternity and looked
down from loftier attitudes" On the
whole, it is a good phrase that-"at-
tanned the freedom of eternity"
Another of the old Grant guard at the
banquet was Webster Flanagan of Texas,
who gave to American political litera-
ture the immortal question, "What are
we here for?" Hon. George S. Boutwell,
was one of the speakers and presided at
the banquet. But the occasion was not
all joyful, because of the members of the
old guard who were absent. Conkling,
he of the sneer, and the carl, and the elo-
quent bitter tongue, has attained the
freedom of eternity" SO has General
John A. Logan.
Of the BOG, 81 are known to be dead,
and of 20 more it is unknown whether they
are dead or alive. OF the rest 93 were
too infirm to bear the journey to Phila-
delphia. So the years fly, and only 81
of the stalwart Grant delegates in 1880
remained who were able to attend the
banquet in their honor at Philadelphia.

Paddy's Piano.

We regret to learn that the hair of the

Paddy of the flowing red name may not
be able to play at the Worlds fair.
The reason is that there has been music
in the air among piano underestimate
far different, alas! from that which drips
from Paderewski's paws. Some New
York piano men secured valuable space
at the Chicago exposition, then at the
last moment backed down and declared
they would make no exhibition at all
New York loves Chicago, and Chicago
adores New York, as all the world
knows, and the queer conduct of the pi-
ano men increased ON both sides that af-
fection, such as it is.
The directors of the fair decided that
the seeding piano men should not be al
lowed to use any pianos of their make at
the entertainments during the exposi-
ton. This threw out the only piano
which the Paderewsh ever uses; there
fore it threw out Pad himself, with all
his hair. New York is sat upon, Chica-
go is satisfied, but womankind is sad

FREELAND, PA, MAY 25, 1898
Made "a Fortune by IA Mistake.

1t is said that somewhere about 1S49-
80, in the early days of the american
Agriculturalist, Orange Judd one day di-
rected his boy to collect bill, a con-
siderable one, and put an advertisement
in the New York Tribune, directing the
lad to pay for the same with the
money" or "out of the money!" which
he should collect. The boy collected
the bill and took the advertisement to
the Tribune. The clerk at the counter
asked the boy how long the advertise
ment was to be, as it was only marked
"Weekly Trib., It,"
The boy remembering with the
money" which accompanied the order,
for answer pushed all the money he had
toward him. The clerk counted it;
found it paid for nearly half a column
of the weekly; marked it half column
in liberal spirit, and the boy went on
his way rejoicing.
Nothing was said that day; it was late
when the boy got back, but next day
about noon Mr.. Judd happened to recol-
lect the bill. He inquired about it, and
found to his dismay that the whole had
been expended in advertising. He re-
monstrated with the boy, who maintain
ed that his order was to pay with the
money collected" meant all the
money as he understood it.
Mr.. Judd thought he said "out of
the money" but wasn't quite sure, and
ceased expostulation, though he was
somewhat uneasy, as those were days OF
small things, and the dollars were not Sc
plentiful as they afterward became.
He was in this state two or three days,
when letters containing subscriptions
induced by the advertisement, began tc
come in-next day more-and so on I'M
til the amount expended was more than
recovered. This made Mr.. Judd liberal
advertiser, and has proven to him, as
well as to many others, that advertising
pays in every line of trade.

Civil Service Reform.

A Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Record announces the pro-
liability of an effort on the part of Presi-
dent Cleveland to undertake such an ex-
tension of civil service reform as would
make moral, intellectual and physical
fitness the only test required, without
reference to political inclining, for all
offices of non-political character. A
tenure during good behavior would be a
necessary sequence.
AS the laws are now, such a radical
change could not be brought about with
out congressional assistance, and there
is much doubt whether that could be
obtained.
In their platforms both parties talk
charmingly of the advantage of civil
service reform; but when the spoils of
office have been brought within their
reach neither party has had the virtue
to live up to its preaching. No presi-
dent has had such an opportunity as has
Mr.. Cleveland TO push civil service re-
form to whatever extent the law will
permit. He is in no way committed to
the spoilsmen, and will not be candi-
date in 1896.
The effort to conform practice to pre-
cept would, no doubt, raise storm
about his ears; but he has had occasion
to know that as long as the masses shall
trust him he need not fear the profess
slonal politicians, who would make all
the noise

A novelty in the labor world has been
furnished by Minneapolis. The street
car company of that city gave notice that
on and after June the wages of conduct
ors and motnrmen will be advanced IS
per cent. The men had not asked for a
raise, nor did they know that the COM
pany contemplated giving the advance
until after the notice was posted. The
managers of the company say that the in
crease of wages will produce friendly
feeling between the company and its en-
ployees and that better service, resulting
in increased travel and a satisfied public,
will rebound to the benefit of the COM
pany. This is a sound business princi-
pie, but why should it be confined to
Minneapolis?

We Hope 1t Is True,

Marion Crawford thinks American
taste has improved wonderfully in the
past 10 years. He is probably correct in
the main. He says that the aesthetic i'm
provement which our ladies especially
have manifested is only the natural out
come of the womanly nature which re-
fines itself as soon as it has the oppor-
tunity, In illustration of the general
elevation and refining of taste in the So
cial realm Mr.. Crawford says in The La
dies Home Journals:
There used to be an extraordinary stiffness,
If may call 1t so, in American taste, which
contrasted strongly enough with the grammat-
ical license of the speech of those days. With
In the last 10 years the language of what calls
itself society has improved by resuming some
thing, if not all, of the Anglo-Saxon rigidity
Taste, on the other hand, has grown more fa-
cile, plant and graceful. 1t is no longer dis
tinctive sign of social superiority TO have q
semiclassic marble statue In the hall and the
stone eiiigy of an uncle or aunt in the dining
room. Moreover, the successors of those ms-
thetic monstrosities are fast disappearing, too

stutfs, the profuse crops of useless knicknacks
which used to make tables unserviceable for
ordinary purposes and rooms almost uninhab-
