Unwittingly Wise.

While the apparent political effect
OF all the delay and squabbling over
the tariff bill has seemed to many
like Democratic foolhardiness, it now
transplres that it was all right as a
matter of political policy after all.
BY which we mean to say that the
Democratic party is stronger with the
masses today unwittirgly, and only
because Of her so called fool-hardiness
as exemplified by tardy Congress
and an eccentric Democratic Presi-
dent. How sol Well, simply because
the Democratic party has fought to
disadvantage on the popular side of
the tariff issue. That's the point upon
which we base the idea and the
argument. Just revolve the matter in
your mind a moment and see if you
cannot see the soul and body of this
notion. We say the Democratic party
is unwittingly stronger with the masses
to-day than the Republican party
because Of her victorious defeat before
Congress. While the term victorious
defeat may seem anomalous, we are
convinced that sucE anomalies are
frequent in Congress. The mighty are
frequently confounded, being fooled
through their own misjudgment as to
what is polite and what not.
The issue is already marked out.
Our politicians cannot misshape or
evade it. We will not say that Demo
cracy has done her full duty but we
will venture to say that she was wiser
than she knew. Her attitude is popular
and her defeat, perhaps, fortunate in
not getting all she cunningly sought
toward free trade and more equitable
taxation for the people. If she is true
to the popular issues she has thus far
successfully advocated, then cheaper
coal, cheaper iron and cheaper sugar
will be anticipated by those who vote
as well as by those who manufacture
and largely monopolize these most
important commodities.
If Democracy is true to the pop.
ular issues she has thus far success.
fully advocated before the people, then
monopolies heretofore highly pro-
tected by the Republican party will
have lower protection, and the loss of
the protected classes will be the gain
of the unprotected masses. This is
the issue and this the fact as the
people comprehend it by and through
the long continued struggle before
Congress. 1t is incontrovertible by
political sophistry from stump or
rostrum.
If Democracy is true to the issues
she has thus far successfully ad.
vocated, important and equitable
legislation now pigeon-holed in the
Senate will be brought out and acted
upon in the near future. Then i'm
portant land forfeitures from railroads
that have failed to comply with their
contracts will materialize, and millions
OF acres of land not earned by rail-
roads according to contract, will revert
to the Government as matter of
equity and common honesty. And
should the Senate persistently stand
by the classes as against the masses,
the sovereign power will find some
way of reaching such Senators. Let
us thank God for government of the
people.

The fashionable drink is now called
"tariff mixture" 1t consists of little
sugar and good deal of whiskey. 1t
is not worked in with the free lunch
as yet, however. Nor is whiskey
straight in danger of being put on the
free list, though sugar may get there
latter. This may seem like sad news
to some folks who have always ad
voc ated free whiskey.

from China over 81 million pounds OF
black tea and about IS and one-half
million pounds of green tea. There is
but little doubt that during the war

Paris Eot-water Fountains Fail,
From the London Daily News.

Disappointment has resulted from the
establishment in Paris of the hot-water
fountains, which iG was thought would be
so useful to the public, and particularly to
the poor people who cannot afford TO have
a fire at all times at their homes. The
water is delivered from automatic ma
chimes. Put half-penny in, and you get
eight litres of water (about fourteen
pints) at a temperature of co. centigrade
that is to say, l40' Fahrenheit. A con-
tractor made arrangements with the mu-
nicipal council whereby he was guaran-
teed the monopoly of the business. ana
eighty machines were put up in different
parts of the city.
They have not, however, been sue
cess. Sometimes the would-be pur-
chaser puts his halfpenny in and gets
nothing but copious douche of cold
water, which he could get at the nearest
pump for nothing, but more often he gets
no return at all Out of the eighty ma
chimes, it was found on an Official inspec-
tion the other day that only fifteen were
in working order They are covered by
puts of tradesfnep's wares, and it was
limited at q discussion on the subject at
the municipal council that practically
they had become nothing but advertising
agents. The contractor is to be com
PEELED either TO supply the hot water or
retire from the business.

seeks substitutes for them in gayer and

seeks substitutes for them in gayer and
more fashionable people
A man or woman of middle age rarely
makes new friends. But for the sake of
their daughter they are willing to aban-
don the friendships of a lifetime and sub
stitute acquaintance. A man is often
driven from the head of his own dinner
table to see some empty-headed numb
skull replace him there. The numbskull
is one of the gay young persons with
whom the daughter wishes to surround
her fathers table for they feel that they
do not have the restraint imposed by
middle age.
On dining with an old friend who had
just occupied his first opera box / asked
his daughters how they had enjoyed it.
They Immediately replied, "Not at all,
because mamma grabbed all the beaux"
An English authoress, one of that vast
number of English people who have
studied us closely and written down the
results Of their observations, tells us,
''There is no give and take at all between
child and parent in America Wealthy
peoples children often take possession of
ali the carriages, leaving their parents to
indulge themselves in walking This self
abnegation on the part of the parent goes
to such an extent that it is often a relief
when the daughter is married off"
The liberty given to our southern and
western girls has no parallel anywhere.
In city like Detroit if yoago to ball
and ask a young lady TO go with you, it
involves going TO her house and taking
her to the ball. There you must supply
her with partners for all the dances. take
her into supper and in the small hours
take her home She always has her own
latch-key, and either bids you good-nigh
on the threshold or asks you in to talk
over the events of the evening All
through the south and southwest and the
west there is not the slightest impro-
priety in this Custom sanctions it, and
it is case where the mother has been
wholly. dispensed with as chaperone.
Fortunately, no girl in this country
need plunge into matrimony or make a
loveless marriage of convenience to free
herself from the restrictions of homelife,
as there are none. English writer's tell
us that in England young girl cannot
walk the length of two or three streets to
visit friend without maid as an atten-
dant. She cannot take an early stroll in
the park without domestic walking
gloomily by her side; while, on the other
hand, the young married woman may
walk through the streets alone and drive
in hanson alone.
The revolt of the daughters in England
is now fixed fact II is a struggle
against bondage which they declare en-
slaves their whole lives. In other words,
II is strike for that liberty and in
dependence which our American young
women enjoy. The young English woman
In the past belonged to her parents Our
American girl feels that she belongs to
herself. In the past other people have
decided for the English girl her destinies
now she asks that she may decide them
for herself The American girl quietly
does it without petitioning anybody.

UNITED MINE WORKERS..
Utterances Which Point to a Strike of
National Proportions.

Gob4O0elA
Columbus, O., April 10.-The national
convention of the United Mine Workers
OF America was called to order at 10
O'Clock this morning in Wirthwein's hall
by President John Mcbride, who imme-
diately read his annual address.
He scored severely General Sec
rotary John w. Hayes, of the
Knights of Labor, who, he said, had been
guilty of dishonesty and untruthfulness
In the matter of the amalgamation of the
national district assembly knights of La
Dor with the United Mine Workers three
years ago, when he reported that
the National District Assembly had % 900
members. AS a matter of fact it had
only 1000 and now has only 4,415
he said the executive committee of the
Knights of Labor ought to remove Hayes
at once, and if it did not, the national
district assembly members should with
draw from 1t.
Mr.. McBride's utterances upon the
wage question fully bear out the reports
that strike of national proportions is to
follow this meeting. Said he: 1.-The time
has come for general advance of wages
all along the line. Many operators will
readily grant it, but we must allow no
work anywhere until the scale is paid
everywhere. Old methods will not do
now. We must act as a unit" Every
sentence here was punctuated with ire
mendous applause, showing the feeling of
the delegates.
Before adiourning for the evening, a
delegate said he would like an expression
upon the national suspension question,
and asked that all delegates who were in
structed in favor of that proposition
stand up. Every man in the hall rose
This means that the whole organization
will cease work the moment the order is
given, and refuse to work until the scale
of wages is'recognized by operators every
where. 1t is not unlikely that the strike
will be ordered tomorrow

oH1oAeo's CONTRACTORS.
A Lockout Of All the Union Workmen
Probable.

Chicago, Ill, April 1O.-A large meet
ing of the building contractors was held
this afternoon in the Builders and
Traders Exchange hall for the purpose
of deciding upon a lockout of all the
union men employed on buildings in
Chicago. The sentiment was in favor
of ordering a lockouG next Thursday,
but the action is not binding
on any of the coz tractors, because neither
the Central Building League nor the
Builders and Traders Exchange were
reported odicially. Outside of the meet
ing. the general opinion was that there
would be no lockout of the men Thurs
day.
In order 10 checkmate the contemplated
move of the employers the officers of the
Carpenters District Council to-day con-
suited lawyers for their opinion as to the
advisability of proceeding against the
Central Building League under the con-
spiracy act in case a general lockout
should be declared.
The 1909 carpenters represented by the
council nave so far kept aloof from the
fight but they do not propose TO be locked

morrow in accordance with the legal
