CENTRAL LABOR UNION.
Resolutions Adopted Opposing the Candi-
dacy of Mr.. Gushing for Mayor.

There was meeting of delegates from
most of the labor unions of the city, at
the hall of the Central Labor Union last
evening to talk over the municipal
campaign. After earnest speeches from
several gentlemen. the following resolu-
tions were adopted:
"Whereas, A politial party of this city
has seen fit to place at the head of its
ticket person by name Charles A .
Gushing, AS candidate for mayor, and
"Whereas said Cushing having been
and is hostile to all labor unions, and
''Whereas he is and has been an en-
ploye rof scap labor paying worse than
scab prices, and
Whereas. He has, proved that he is no
friend to the laboring class, be it
Resolved. That we, as members of
labor unions, do hereby pledge ourselves
to use voice and vote to defeat one who
is unworthy to represent the laboring
people as mayor of the CITY,"
An attempt to secure the adoption of
a resolution hostile to the candidacy of
Mayor Baxter met with defeat, the reso-
luton being promptly voted down.
George N. E. Kim ball, the candidate of
the Prohibition party for mayor, was
present during portion of the meeting.
At the close delegate said:
1--WE did not make a nomination for
mayor, but it is generally understood
that as Mr.. Kimabll is laboringman
and union man also, that we shall
work and vote for him."

E-L fish Taxes,

Birth is taxed; marriage is taxed; death
Is taxed; commodities are taxed manufac-
lures are taxed; trades are taxed; houses
are taxed; incomes are taxed. We are
taxed for our butler, if we are prosperous
enough to keep one. We are taxed for our
footman, groom or gardener. The carriage
we keep is taxed; the omnibus we take is
taxed; the cab we hire is taxed; the rail
way train we travel by is taxed. The house
dog is taxed, and SO also the heraldlc de-
vice on our note paper.
Everything we drink is taxed-beer,
spirits, wines, tea, coffee-and even for
the water we drink there is the water rate.
Light is taxed through the medium of the
gas rate. The land we walk upon is taxed
the tobacco we smoke is taxed; the gold or
silver jewelry we wear, the eau de cologne
pertaining our handkerchief, the figs we
eat on Palm Sunday, the Christmas plum
pudding-these are all taxed. Even our
ambitious pills are not free.
All these, and they are but few of the
taxes that exist, are mostly imperial taxes
for the purposes of government. Some OF
them, however, are assigned to the county
councils. There are also local rates, which
are but local taxes, for the poor, county
council, police, voting lists, street light
ing, paving, watering, ETC., sewers, school
board and vestry. Householders, dodgers,
married and single, men, women and chill

PEACE IN PARLIAMENT.
Peers and Commoners Have Patched Up
Their Differences

London, February 26.-In the House
of Commons today, division was taken
on the Lords amendment to the
Parish councils bill enabling parishes of
from 200 to 800 inhabitants to dispense
with parish councils. This was rejected
81 to 1911. This is the amendment offered
by Lord Salisbury last Friday in the
House OF Lords. The House then con-
sidered the other Salisbury amendment
which provided that parish councils
might choose a third of the trustees OF
local charities. This was passed q to 80
in the House of Lords, Friday. All the
Radicals and many Liberals We're IN
favor of simply cancelling this alteration
made by the peers and restoring the pro-
posal giving the councils full powers
over the local charities.
joseph Cham berlain. the leader OF the
Liheral-U nionists, supported by Arthur
J.Balfour, leader of the whole OPPOSE
ton, averted conflict at this point by
moving compromise to whlch tne
House ultimately agreed. This compro-
mise is EN- bodied in an optional, not OBJ
ligatory, provision that majority OF the
trustees of local charities should be
nominated by the parish council. Inc
government accepted this compromise
without hesitation. The amendment
made in the House of Lords by the Duke
of Devonshire, leader of the Liberal
Unionist peers, was considered. This
amendment was to vest in the county
council control of the compulsory pur-
chase of allotments under the allotment
act and the hiring of land. According
TO the original measure sum bltted by
the government, such control was to rest
with the Parish councils. This evening
the government accepted the Duke of
Devonshire's plan and the House agreed
to the change The concessions thus
made by the Comm ons virtually com
plete the accord between the Houses.

: where Are the Great Men?

There are not great number of really
great men as the term is understood now
taking part in the worlds affairs.
Let any one sit down and attempt to
write the names of 100, Or even 20, really
great men who are alive, and they will
see how difficult it is. When the question
'sWho is the greatest living man?' was
brought up at an evening party some time
ago the prevailing answer was Gladstone,
while some said Bismarck. When the
question is changed and put in the form
of "Who is the greatest living American
or the greatest man in the United States?
it becomes even more difficult, barring,
of course, one pre-eminent name. Edison
looms up in the elements that belong to
greatness, but it is apparent that during
the last 25 years the generals, the states
men, the scholars and poets, the scientists
and reformers, and even the men of for
tune, like Vanderbilt, Aston and Gould,
who have attained distinction, have been
disappearing from the scene. The New
York Sun contends that there are as many
great men in the world as ever. Doubt
less there are men who might prove great
if the opportunity offered, but who are the
living men who have achieved greatness?

Mr.. A. Il. Halls Politics.
To the Editor of the Press:

To the Editor of the Press:
The letter in the PRESS this mornin :,
signed by V. Richard Foss, was written
and published without5my knowledge. Oh
consent. Newspaper notoriety is very
distasteful to me, and regret that my
friend Foss considered it necessary tc
discuss my politics in the public print.
1 think the management of the public
schools of this city should be, SO far as
possible. free from politics, and that
other than purely political considerations
should govern votes. for positions upon
the board.
It is a matter Of very little interest to
the general pu bile, but if it is necessary
for theteitizens of Ward to know how
vote, / desire to inform them myself, as
I informed the Republican ward com
mittee, that III municipal elections,
have as asrule, voted for those whom
consider the best men, and Tor this
reason I have for some time past voted,
principally, but not wholly, the Republi-
can ticket.

PREBLE CHAPEL.
Report of Rev. Mr.. Phelan for the Year
1SS3-94.

Rev. Mr.. Phelan, minister at large in
this city. has made his report of the do
ings at Preble Chapel for the year 1885
"a. Last January rounded out the 25th
year of Mr.. Phelan as pastor of the chap
ell, and we then gave general account OF
the work done by him and the people
who assisted him in all this time.
The work for the past year has been
satisfactory, the means to work with
having been on an average with former
years. Destitute children have received
lis new pairs of shoes and rubbers, 1877
new garments, and 81 ~ yards of cloth.
Seven hundred secondhand articles of
clothing have been given needy families.
and 81 good second hand garments, II
new ones, and 10 - yards Of cloth to
others for services rendered. Through
the Poor's Purse we have aided old and
infirm people. The contributions to it
amounted to $22430, of which
S1SO.S3 was expended. The Thanksgiv-
ing offerings amounted to $53 in cash
and store of provisions, providing a
good dinner for 81 families or 200 per-
sons. The sewing school under Miss
Winchester and assistants, has done a
good work, and the Sunday school under
Mr.. Thompson and his corps of teachers
has been fiourishing. The Preble chapel
people, out of their own scanty means,
have contributed $40 for benevolent OBJ
jects. The women of the Sewing Circle
gave of their time and labor for weeks
preparing for fair. The Mcclellan
Workers, under Miss Gertrude Phelan,
have devoted themselves to the same OBJ
iect, which netted $S7 last November for
the Emergency Fund.
An old teacher of Preble chapel school
furnished Mr.. Phelan with some inter-
esting memoranda of her service from
1s49 at Old City Hall until the close OF
Rev. Mr.. Tuckerman's ministry, period
of about 20 years. She says some OF her
classes showed great aptness and profic-
ieney, and the children were many of
them, very ambitious. Three of her
scholars have been teachers in three of
the high schools of our large cities, and
one was assistant principal, all holding
their places for many years, and two being
.still there. One of her early classes of
four girls, was very destitute, but the
girls were constant in attendance and
resolute in determination to advance.
One is today the wife of a physician of
standing and all comfortably situated
with families of their own. One OF the
boys is large real estate agent in Maine,
one successful dentist, and two hold
prominent positions on Western rail-
roads.
