LABOR DAY.

Next Monday Is Labor Day. and there
are Indications that the holiday will be
celebrated with unusual spirit this year
The hard times through which the work.
ing people have struggled during the
past Winter are now believed to be
about at an end. The eventual settle
ment of the tariff question after Repub-
lican filibustering and Senatorial
treachery. promises a revival of bust
ness. Money is flowing into the Treas
ury through the activity at the Custom
House. mills are resuming work and
there 10 a general improvement in the
outlook. The income tax brings the
wealthy tax-dodgers into assessment,
and by so much relieves the undue bur
dens heretofore laid on the shoulders
Of the sons of toll.
Moreover. despite the temporary tri-
umph Of the Sugar Trust ring, through
the venality of Senators, the high pro-
tective policy which has built up and
fostered monopolies has received a blow
from which It will never recover. The
Democratic pledges to the people have
not been wholly redeemed, but Mck,n-
leyism IL dead, nevertheless, and each
coming election will bury 1t deeper in its
grave.
All this encourages labor. and viii
help to make the demonstration Of Mon
day a significant and spirited AFFAIR, in
dependent of the fact that the holida,
Is becoming more and more popula
every year. 1t has lived down opposi
ton and prejudice, and II is now gen
orally admitted that labor, the mali
source OF our National wealth and powe
and the bulwark of our institutions, de
serves to be distinguished by a holida,
of Its own set apart in honor of thos
to whom the country owes so much. l.
the great Republic labor is honorabl
and idleness is disgraceful.
1t ought to be regarded as privileg
by all conditions of men to observe La

ELASTIC CRIMINALITY.

felony.

reported II goes to the marrow Of the
question He decides 1t constitutional
to legalize betting at certain times on
race track. and to punish 1t as fell

on the track on commission. 10 ofdi-

70 WORK, MR.. wELLMAN, TO WORK.

The flight OF Katie Schubert. one OF
the principal accusers OF the police cap
tains and ward men before the Lexow
Committee, Is a burning disgrace to the
police and to everybody concerned In the
Investigation or prosecution OF police
corruption. 1t Is nonsense to pretend
that the woman's escape from the coun-
try on the steamer Normannia could not
have been prevented by the authorities
or by the Senate investigators. She was
wanted as a witness before the Police
Board against Inspector Mclaughlin,
and was accused of perjury in her testi-
mony before the Lexow Committee. IL
h utterly unlikely that she could have
slipped through the fingers of the Dis
trict-Attorney and the police without
some official or scmi-ofiiclal aid.
Mr.. welman does not hesitate to as
sert that her flight was aided by 'tun-
eel COTS employees, and Mr.. Con sim
ply replies that Mr.. Weilman Is wholly
mistaken" 1t certainly looks az II there
had been a conspiracy TO get the woman
out of the country. There was pre-
tense at stopping her when she had
already sailed. and inspector Mcl.auEh-
lin now boasts loudly that ne ha moth
ing to fear from her testimony. but
why was she allowed to go to Jersey
City II 1t was not INTENDED she should
slip away, and why was she not watched
by detectives while there, when positive
assertions were made OF her intention
TO abscond?
Mr.. wellman's skirts will not be clear
until he proves conclusively that he had
no part in the escape, and this he can
not do unless he at least tries to
show whose work II was. He
J was willing that the woman and
her husband should go to Jersey
City, where she was outside the juris
diction of New York. and he kept con
fidently asserting that she would appear
whenever he desired.
Come. Mr.. Wellman. the people want
to know the whole truth about thi,
ocandalous affair.

PARIS BRINGS IN A LONG LIST.

The American line steamer Paris,
which arrived this morning from South
ampton. brought 70S cabin passengers
into port. including number OF dis
tinguished people who have been on the
other side of the sea while Americans
were suffering from heat, humidity and
the tariff fight.
Among the first to come down the
gangplank when the Paris reached her

have lost little time in getting back to
America after the fair singer made II
possible by leaving for him to consider
the country a land of liberty again
perugini looked anxiously down the bay
AS he left the dock, and then, feeling
quite certain that Lillian wasn't after
him; set out boldly to meet his New

Another OF the passengers was

Mayor, He told a group OF politicians
that hts papa was going to start back

WHAT CAUSES TIE DELAY

Some surprise is caused by the fact
that the Secretary OF War has left
Washington on a junketing excursion
before acting on the report Of the Board
Of Expert Engineers on the construction
OF the New York and New Jersey
Bridge.
1t Is an open secret that Mr.. Lamont
for some reason, has not been friendly
towards that great enterprise. When
the first Bridge bill was vetoed for what
were generally regarded as insufficient
reasons, the new bill was made to con-
form in all respects with the sugges-
tions and objections set forth in the
veto message. 1t was also provided that
q board of engineers should be appoint
ed by the President to investigate and
report on the plan OF construction, sub
5ect to the confirmation OF their conclu-
sions by the Secretary OF War Under
these circumstances, II seems most sim
gular that any further delay or obstruc-
tlons should be placed in the way OF an
enterprise OF such vast Importance to the
commerce OF the country, to the con,
fvenience OF travel and TO the military
Operations of the Government.

How to wave the Hair.

The fashion OF waved hair brings
about new method in the use of the
old fashioned curling iron. The hair
must no longer be crimped, but must
be laid over the head in large, natural
looking waves. The entire secret lies
in the fact that the iron is no longer
applied to the tip Of the tress OF hair
and the hair wound over 1t, but the
tress of hair itself is wound around the
iron beginning as near the scalp as it
Is comfortable to hold the heated iron.
The parting OF the hair, which proved
so unpopular when it was first intro
duced, has been accepted chiefly by
those persons of the Madonna type Of
face, for they can bear this severe
style of hair-dressing. The delicate
fringe OF curls. which so many maidens
still continue to wear Is too becoming
to the majority of American girls to be
driven out of fashion.
