stroy various public buildings i'm this city
and elsewhere continue to he made, osten-
sibly by anarchists. The latest buildings

France and Spain IN Africa.

PARIS. Dec. 21--A pamphlet written
by Colonel de Polignnc attracts consider
able attention. The writer proposes that
France should ally herself with the Moors
in order to extend her influence i'm north
ern Africa. Colonel de Polignac declares
that if an alliance should be established
France could compel the Moors To live at
peace with the Spanish. Then, he says,
an alliance could be formed between
France and Spain. France would thus
become mistress of the western Mediter-
ranean, while Spain would be able TO
place sufficient artillery along the bay of
Algeciras to render Gibraltcr untenable
by the British.

BUSINESS ON Debt
That Is Robbing Labor of
the Fruits of Its Toll.
Tariff Nor Lack OF Confidence Not
Responsible The Life of Civil Lib
erty i'm Danser-Thc IA. Of l.. Master
Workman Outlines His Policy.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 27.-General Master
Labor, has issued an official statement in
which he outlines the course he will pur-
u e He says the order must put its prin-
ciples into the statutes of the country, and
maSethem a part of the practice of society.
He continues:
Everywhere il starvation and death.
while corporate greed and avaricious
money-lords apply the arrogant lash with
relentless fury, and congress, like "A
wooden god, looks down in silent contempt
on the miseries of the most patriotic and
industrious people the world ever knew.
With these conditions confronting the
people everywhere, IL we cannot permeate
society with II healthy public opinion on
the subject of labor and force, the adop-
ton of our principles, we deserve defeat. "
The general master workman further
says that he feels warranted in asserting
that civil liberty in this country will die
in the next seven years Unles the knights
OF Labor or some like organization comes
TO the rescue. he then shows that, ac-
cording TO the eleventh census, the in
crease of wealth is about $50, 0OO,O 900 per
year, while the interest charges exceed
81, 10000 per annum
DO not mistake it for tariff delusions, -
he concludes, "or the lack of public con
tidence. IL is the jingle OF shackles that
is always heard by a nation that forces
the transaction of business on debt and
credit and robs labor of the fruits of it's
toll to pay the interest"

FIGHTING FOR TOMS MONEY
Numerous Legal Proceedings Over
the Musical Prodigy.

New YORK. Dec. 27.-Before Judge
TruaX, in the supreme court chambers
here, an application was made to compel
Mrs. Elsie Bethune, the legal guardian of
Blind Tom" the pianist and musical
prodigy, 10 show cause why she should
not be punished for contempt OF court.
Blind Tom" il we'll known all over the
country. At the time of the emancipation
of the slaves he was owned by John q.
Bethune, of Virginia. The family, aware
of the negro's genius, decided 10 retain
him, Notwithstanding the fifteenth amend
ment. The supreme court of Virginia, on
accoust Of Blind Toms" intirmity, de
cided that be was to remain the property
of the Bethunes forever. This decision
caused widespread gossip and not a little
harsh criticism. Col. Daniel L. Holland,
a Washington lawyer, endeavored TO get
the negro out of the hands of the Bethune
family. but before that could be accom-
plished Mrs. Elsie Bethune succeeded in
being appointed blind Toms guardian,
Col. Holland died, and, as his bill for legal
services on behalf of the musical genius
was not paid. Mrs. Irene Alderman, OF
Washington, brought suit against Mrs,
Bethune for the fee, amounting to 1890,
Mrs. Alderman won the suit, and the
court ordered the money 10 be paid out of
the money earned by Blind Tom" In
that action Mrs. Bethune swore hat she
had no money resulting from her wards
earnings. Mrs. Irene Alderman claims
that Mrs. Bethune has $4,000 and real
estate resulting from Blind Tom's'
musical productions; hence the contempt
proceedings.
Judge Truax reserved his decision.
