DenuncfatiOn.

ROCK ISLAND, Sept. 2-Editor AR
GUS: Will you allow us to address
the Tri-City Labor congress, Indus
trial home, organized labor and the
public in general, and warn them
that the affair advertised as the glass
workers, or makers, picnic has no
connection whatever with the win
dow glass workers as a body or
organization. We denounce it as
unworthy of the support or patron
age of any aborer or mechanic
whether union or not. This money!
making scheme is gotten up by just
four people, who lay great stress on
the fact that they are glass workers.
They said the article published in the
Union some time ago was mistake
and would be corrected. 1t has not
been done.
If every window worker in the city
was interested II this affair, it would
be out of place on that day. 1t is
an injustice to labor's cause, it
does not bear the endorsement of the
window glass workers, and should be
denounced by all labor organizations
and avoided by union men as far as
possible. WORKER.

to make an effort to raise $3.50 by
subscription in the parish, to meet

Bennett were appointed committee
for that purpose.
Work, such as it is, has been be-
gun on the Twentieth street pave
ment, south of Ninth avenue. A
couple of loads of curling have been
dumped at the intersection indicated,
and it is to be hoped that activities
will begin shortly, although it is
hardly probab that any paving will
be done this year. But there is a
heap of grad ne to do.

AFTER THE PENNIES.
An Attempt to Rob a Street Machine
Failed.

''Some men would steal pennies
from dead mems eyes. others any
thing they can carry so tits said,
but last night brought combination
of both with the exception of the
dead man. At about l o'clock Night
Clerk Brough, of the Harper house,
detected two men attempting to
wrench the cash box of the penny
in-the-slot machine in front of the
Harper house pharmacy, from its
fastenings, and accordingly notified
the police. Officers Ryan and Hay
man responded to the call, and the
two fellows seeing the officers APP
proach, took to their heels and five
ly sprint was INDUCED in, even to the
firing of the gun. The officers pur-
sued the men, and while one of them
darted into hallway on Second ave
nue. between Eighteenth and Nine
streets. the other kept on and turned
the corner of Eighteenth street with
the officers in his wake, and ran
north. Then it was that Officer Rv
an called a stentorian Halt" but the
Splinter wouldn't stop. Officer Ry-
an then fired two shots, the second of
which drew from the man an ominous
howl, but still he kept en- and dis
tanced his pursGers and got away.
The other fellow ran east on Second
avenue and soon was lost sight of.
The officers were somewhat impeded
of course, by their overcoats.

Ocean Flyers.

The Lucania is now Queen of the Seas,
having last week lowered the record across
the Atlantic, from Liverpool to Sandy
Hook, fifty-nine minutes, making the trip
in days, Is hours and % minutes. The
average time was 81 miles an hour, or
about the same speed as local trains on our
railroads. Since 1884 the time across the
Atlantic has been lessened by l day, 2
hours and 16 minutes. By 1900 it is ex-
pected the trip will be made in five days.
The ocean steamships, too, are floating
palaces, fitted up as handsomely as the
best metropolitan hotels, and they are
monsters in size. The Lucania is 620 feet
long, 65 feet 3 inches wide, and 43 feet
deep. If set down on Main street in West
minister she would reach from the ADvo-
CATE Office nearly to the Union National
Bank, would just fit in between the houses
and would be nearly twice as high The
dining-room is 100 by GA feet, as large as
the largest barns of Carroll, and can carry
half the population of Westminster. She
is fitted especially for high-class passengers,
and has room in the steerage for only $40
persons. Her crew numbers nearly 400.

Revolt of colored Voters.

The movement begun in Baltimore to
eliminate the colored man from any active
participation in Republican politics, has
eliminated in the appointment OF city
executive committee composed altogether
of whites. The committee was appointed
by Chairman Westcott, and he and the
aLilly Whites" as the white Republicans
have been designated, are being severely
and properly criticised by leading colored
men. The colored Republicans have held
several meetings this week, and resolutions
were passed denouncing Westcott as being
governed by race prejudice, and declar-
ing 1--WE cannot insult our manhood and
smite our conscience by supporting the
party under such circumstances.
For twenty-five years the colored people
have been almost soidly voting the Repub-
lican ticket Beyond being occasionally
sent as delegate to convention. no re-
coenition has been given the race. Not
one has been nominated for an office, or
given an appointment, except mental one
Still they have kept on voting the ticket
straight at every election, and it was only
by their votes that Republican has been
elected to any position in this state. With
ont the colored vote the Republican party
could not carry county in the state, and
in three-fourths of the counties they could
not carry precinct without the aid of the
colored voter.
Constituting majority of the party
they have allowed themselves to be COM
pletely controlled by the white Republl-
cans. As the race has progressed IN III
telligence, and few have sought recognl-
tion for the black man, instead Of it being
given, the whites huddle closer together
and shut them out from even places on
committees. No wonder d revolt has taken
place in Baltimore If the black man is
not wanted in the counSels Of the party,
he should withhold his vote at the polls,
and the determination not to vote this fall
is proper answer to the ostracism by the
whites. The colored voters all over the
etate shonld resent the iudignity put upon
them by the whites, and not go to the polls
next month In no other way can they
resent the insult and let the white skins
understand that the colored yolers are In
che party and constitute the bulk of the
organization.

Republican Humbug.

The Republican papers which have raised
such pother over the appointment of }.
J. Van Allen as Minister to Rome. have
probably forgotten the appointment of John
Wannamaker us Postmaster General, after
his contribution of s40O, 900 to the Repub-
lican campaign fund that made Mr.. Har-
rison President by the purchase of New
York and Indiana. 1t is charged by the
Republicans that Mr.. Van Aliens appoint
ment was .iade in consideration of his
contribution of $4,000 to the Democratic
campaign fund in the Presidential election
Of 1892. He is exonerated from the
charge by M. Whitney, who says that it
was at his instance that the appointment OF
Mr. Van Allen was made, on the recon-
mendatiou of the Democrats of Rhode Is
land: that Dir. Cleveland had 40 knowledge
of the campaign contribution, and that he
made the appointment on merit alone.
The assumption that Mr.. Cleveland "rati-
fed a corrupt bargain, says HdrPerf
WeeL,ly. sis base SANDER.

The Outlook.

The reports from Hartford and Charles
and Cecil counties, where there were sharp
primary contests in the Democratic party,
all 20 to show that the Democratic tickets
will be elected by good majorities. In
Cecil and Charles counties the Republican
party has serious differences, while in Har-
ford there is mixed ticket Of Democrats
and Republicans, never a pleasing copbl-
nation to voters of either party. In Talbot
county, where there was a sharp Demo-
cratic primary contest, the clouds of dis
sention have aboat disappeared and a Demo-
cratic victory is expected.
So far the Independent movement in
Baltimore scarcely amounts to farce.
Maryland will give a good account OF
herself this fall, and by an unmistakable
vote will back up the Democratic Admin
isiratiop in its work of reforming the gov
ernment.

convention on Monday night and nomi-

Otto Sutro for Sheriff and William Duncan
for Clerk of the City Court, The conven-
ton was stormy one. After Mr.. Schultz
was put in domination, c. G. Norris get
the floor and said that the convention was
packed in Mr.. Schultz's behalf, and that
he would do for the silk-stocking gentry,
but not for the people, He then nominal
ted John w. Hoffacker Another dele
gate, c. J, Cordray, charged that Norris
had been paid to work for Hoffacker, and
Norris called Cordray a liar. a dozen

the movement will deceive very few.
