THE RICHMOND TRADES UNION


The determination of the Trades Union
of Richmond to enter politics as au organ
ization and nominate Legislative ticket
will be successful according to the man
ner in which the effort is put in force.
If the union endeavors to support any one
ingmen are but human, aud they cannot
change their politics as a chameleon alters
its color No matter how worthy the
cause, they would not rally TO the unani-
nous support of candidates who belonged
to a different political faith than their
own.
But il the union, within its organization,
would allow members OF the several parties
to caucus a nd select candidates of their own
political faith to be placed in nomination
at the regular conventions they would not
only succeed in placing them on the party
tickets, but would also avoid the disseu-
ton and iIl-fcelng incident to an attempt
to compel men of different political be-
liefs tosupporta NY one set of candidates
In order 10 accomplish great good labor
leaders must learn that reforms are of
slow growth, and that political con-
victions are difficult TO overcome. Gen
orally speaking organized labor is Conn
posed of men of all Shades of political
faith Their convictions cannot be changed
at will, nor will they allow them 10 be
trifled with; but if their efforts could be
80 directed that none but friends of labor
are placed in nomination on all the party
tickets, tie FAME result would be obtained

FOR FREE CUBA.

Although, in a diplomatic sense, the
United States must be neutral or safely
conservative in regard to the scattered
fighting between spaniards who desire to
free Cuba from Spanish rule and Spaniards
| who are interested in the costly tribute
that Cuba pays to Spain, there is unques-
tioDably an undercurrent of blood in the
heart of every American which pulsates
in favor of the faction popularity known as
insurgents.
1t is clearly shown in authentic state
ments in the news columns of The Times
that the government department most inter-
ested officially in this question is in sym
pathy with those who are bravely strug-
Cling for an independence in Cuba, which
at the very least means home government.
This department is exceedingly careful
of its opinion No foreign office of any
civilized government is more so. With the
kindiiest feelings toward Spain, in com
mon with the unofficial class. SYM
pathy for the Cuban revolutionists is yet
clearly apparent.
The government at Madrid understands
this and expects it, but they dread the open
expression of IL. Their one hope is to SO
far subdue the uprising that it will ap-
pear utterly insignificant when the next
Congress meets in session, and SO make un-
advisable an otherwise almost certain rec
ognition of the belligerent rights of the
Cubans.
So far the insurgents appear to have a
real advantage. The Spanish leaders are
disheartened, and the home government
hesitates to send from Spain more troops,
fearing an uprising Of the republican ele-
ment. Looking at the condition in Cuba
as one may, 1t must seem that important
action on the part of the United States
Government will be forced very soon after
the meeting of Congress.

THAT ALLEGED VICTORY.

The more the result of the Pennsylva-
MIA convention of yesterday is studied the
more it becomes evident that the so-called
harmony OF factions is but SO in name and
not in fact. The plain truth is that the fac
ton opposing Senator Quay found itself
beaten by a few votes, but those absolutely
certain, and therefore surrendered rather
than to force the convention to a vote which
would disclose at once their strength and
their weakness.
Senator Quay accepted the challenge
thrown down to him by putting himself
into the field as a candidate for the chair
manship of the State committee of his
party. His opponents sought control, that
they might divide among themselves Of
fices which had been Heretofore parceled
out by Quay and Cameron. Finding them
selves largely outnumbered, Gov Hastings,
C. L. Magee, and others of Senator Quay's
former pupils in politics retired from the
contest aud contributed to the Senator's

wATERMELoNs AND POLITICS.

From statements made in country cx.
changes of Maryland, and which cannot be
disputed, it is apparent that Hon. John E.
Hurst, the German Democrat candidate
for Governor OF Maryland, is urging his
campaign TO itss wiftest pace, Just as though
he were uncertain of the result OF the cleo
ton.
The day of the county fair is ripe. The
politician who has captured the nomina-
ton for some office of limited Jurisdiction
vies in enterprise with the promoter Of
prize calves and pigs in energy and persist
eDcy of presence. The blue ribbon, which
indicates the award of fist premium for
thefinest porkcr. is lookedupon by candidates
for the honorable positions of sheriff or
roadmaster with jealousy which may i,s
Imagined but not described.
But Mr. Hurst will not permit the county
candidate to rule the roost at the rural fair.
He does not disdain methods which are
supposed to belong especially to the county
nominee who moves among a constituency
which has dra wn it's milk from the bottle
upon which he himself has been nursed.
He declaims loudly against the influence of
corporations, which he will be glad to
serve the moment his election is assured.
In short. he is the typical politician of the
period.
Sitting the accounts that make the pages
of Maryland excha nges fat, it is evidentthat
Mr.. Hurst has not yet found a baby which
could not be greeted with a resoundisg kiss,
DO matter how dense the real estate upon
its face. Stirring narratives come to hand
telling of the woud-be governors suddenly
acquired kno wledge of the strong points OF
Suffolk pigs, Jersey heifers, Perchcron
horses, monster pumpkins, and all the in.
Vulnerable fruits that grow upon vines that
overruD the ground.
More striking than all else in vivid story
is the well-told column of the Journalistic
country cousin wherein Mr.. Hurst is pho
tographed in close communion with the Sc
ductive watermelon. In suoh indulgence
there is recognized no race, color, or pre-
vious condition of seryitudc. In the broad
est sense the watermelon is democratic.
As q weapon of offense and defense in a
campaign 1t is Incompatible. STEPPED in
its luscious perfume and glorified by its
unrivaled color the candidate who compre-
bends its supreme influence is well-nigh
invulnerable.
Notwithstanding his confidence in the
strength of the German fortificatio ons
which surround him, Mr.. Hurst docs not
ignore these fruity and meaty arguments
which may appear somewhat trivial at
first sight. It is apparent, moreover, that

POLLUTION OF ROCK CREEK.

IoLLO A1ON Or hOCA CHEEA.
Much has been said in regard to the con-
tamination of the waters of Rock Creek,
bat it has been left to The Times OF this
evening to expose the tribute in that direc-
tion of the Washington Gaslight Company.
That much coddled, and yet much-afused
stream has been a subject for volumes of
more or less elegant literature, and through
it all has remained the fond hope of the
future national park, regardless of its
usually yeasty condition.
Although it is a repository for square
miles of underground city drainage, it is
still nleandering prospect which leads
the living ancestors of future generations
to dream OF lakes and cnves and pretty,
bits of composition in the park which is
now only matter ofgeography.
1t is now discovered that the gaslight
company has dashed even this vague hope
to that place which has been best explored
by the late Mr. McGiniy. The refuse OF that
cooperative monopoly is discovered to be
flooded into this stream which has been
made the nucleus of a national park. Not
only does it make the waters murky and
odorous, but it kills the fish which try to live
there. True to its nature, onscienccless in
its swelling wealth, this gaseous corpora
tion does not hesitate to use for its sewer
channel a stream which has been by act of
Congress set aside for the pleasure and orna-
mentation of a great and costly national
reservation.
The facts as stated In the local columns
of The Times this evening, call new atten-
tion 10 the abuse of Rock Greek. Its hitherto
unknown use by the gaslight company but
adds force to criticisms which have been
made throughout many years and to the
demand that the Rock Creek channel
shall be freed from all contamination
from foul drainage.

WALLER SHOULD Be FREE
-Four Strong Editorial Demands iaf b
tefhaaenal justice.
Three Of Them Come from This
Country and One from England.
The French Spy Law.

Ex-Consul Walters greatest hope lies in
have taken up his cause. Below are given
excerpts clipped at random. They re-
fleet but one eentiment-Franoe's immeii-
ate retraction.
Troy Press: 1t 10 consistent to believe
that the now lebrated case OF Mr.. Waller,
the former consul from this country to
Tamatave, Madagascar, who is now serv
ing term ofstwenty years in French
prison on an alleged conviction on trumped
up charge, will be amicably settled in time
and should the evidence show that Mr..
Waller has been wronged, as nearly
every American believes, that he will be
restored to freedom and reimbursed for
any financial l0sses which he may have
suffered.
The facts In the case. briefly stated, are
as follows: Mr.. Waller, who Is colorcd
man. was for several years the United States
consul at TaMatave, Madagascar. Soon fter
becoming relieved of that office he obtained
from the government OF the island yalu-
able concessions in the productive forests
of the island, from which he was guaran-
teed protection in the work OF getting out
rubber, fruits, and other products native
to the forests
The French spectators on the island 81 W
that they were to be deprived OF the oppor-
tunity to steal these same products from
the rightful, original owners. MIR. Waller
had made a contract with the country,
agreeing 10 pay for the privileges accorded
him, and the only way the Jealous French
men could circumvent him was to get him
out OF tie way, and as quickly as possible.
To accomplish this Waller was arrested
on n petty charge q nd sentenced to twenty
years imprisonment in the French prison at
MarseilIes.
The French claim that he was accorded a
trial by court-martial. but no record of
such trial exists, u nd even had such trial
been granted IL would have been proper
way OF punshing him according to our
treaty stipulations with France. In view
OF the lack OF evidence to tie contrary it is
to DE assumed that Mr.. Waller was arbi-
trarily sentenced without the fornality
OF trial The outrage is just as great
as it would have been for the French aui hor-
itacs Ia enter Spain or Great Britain in times
OF peace, kidpap an American citizen and
throw him ipto prison without tue formal
ity of trial.
