THE DIGNITY OF LABOR.

Workingmen Must Look to the Republican
Party to Unlock the Shackles.
In these days when so much is being
said about labor it is a relief to turn
away from some Of the narrowing pic
lures of the strike and the lockout and
muse for a moment over what one Of
labor's greatest friends uttered. words
which shall never die because they are
true y
Wendell Phillips, the child of an ig-
norant farmer, born to labor with his
own hands and reared in the seclusion
of a country home, was a fit champion
to stand in his day for the dignity and
honor of the people who work with their
hands. The following is one of his
beautiful references to wages paid to the
working people:
''The handspring Of our progress is
high wages-wages at such level that
the workingman can spare his wife to
preside over q home. can command
leisure. go to lectures, take newspaper,
and lift himself from the deadening
level of mere toll. That dollar left after
all the bills are paid on Saturday night
means education, independence, self re-
spect, manhood. It increases the value of
every acre near by, fills the town with
dwellings, opens public libraries and
crowds them, dots the continent with
cities and cobwebs it with railways.
The one remaining dollar insures prog
ress and guarantees millions to its own
er better tkan a score Of statutes. It is
worth more than thousand colleges
and makes armies and police super
fuous. - II
This is good Republican doctrine
Wendell Phillips by wisdom and energy
helped to shape the party at its birth.
His ideas were for labor, dignifed and
free from the thraldom Of Democratic

the tall masked burglar who. with two
companions. robbed the house of Hotel
Keeper Blanch at Woodside on the
night OF Dec. G, was again taken be-
fore Police Justice Duffy to-day and held
for the Grand Jury.
Chief Keeper Mo.lter, OF the Queens
County Jail, was called az witness and
testified that when Hotel Keeper Blanch
and his daughter, Florence, called at the
Jail they were unable to identify Yam
min as one OF the men who had robbed
their house.
Policeman Graham was another wit
ness for the defense. and said that when
he visited Blanchs hotel on the morning
after the robbery Blanch told him that
he could not Identify either Of the three
burglars because they wore masks over
their faces.
Lawyer Kadien asked for Yammin' $
discharge on the ground that the prose

one OF the men who had participated in
the robbery. Lawyer Kadien said that
Blarch and his daughters had made con-
Trajectory statements as to Identifying

There was scramble among the pas

MAY SEND A DELEGATION,
The Mercantile Exchange Recon
aiders Yesterdays Action.

Members OF the Mercantile Exchange
were addressed this morning by Com
missioner Frederick G.. Schraub, of the
State Agricultural Department, on the
oicomargarine question. The speaker
claimed that the espionage of olemar-
gnrine dealers devolved upon United
States Internal Revenue officers and
not upon his Department. He said the
State authorlti S had commenced legal
action against Philip ID. Armour G. Co,
of Chicago. the largest producers OF
eleomargarlne In this country.
The Commissioner referred to the num-
Der Of arrests! made within the past
margarine had made mere liars AMI
thieves in the produce business than any
thing else.
IN speaking OF the convention to be
held in Chicago, he said that united
action by the Mercantile Exchange and
similar commercial bodies would pre-
vent Armour & Co. from controlling it.
Otherwise that concern would increase
its present gigantic monopoly, and the
fight against oleomarSarlne would be
more difficult than II is now.
Upon motion OF Mr.. Halsey Smith It
was decided to reconsider the resolution
OF yesterday, when the. Exchange de-
ciled not TO send a delegation 10 the
Chicago Convention. The Exchange
failed to appropriate 5000 for expenses.
however. the point being raised that
such action could only be taken at n
special meeting.
