has been growing steadily brighten
Mills and factories that had shut down
for an indefinite period when the
financial panic swept over the country
have been resuming operations one by
one, until now the great majority of
them are giving employment to the
usual number of men. and wages are
gradually getting back to satisfactory
basis. In addition to this there has
been legislation in number of states
calculated to benefit organized labor
10 greater or less degree; so it may
reasonably be inferred that the work
ingmen are in a frame of mind to en-
joy their annual holiday.
Nearly all the states have made
Labor day, September 1, legal, holi-
day, and the general government has
recognized it as such in the District of
Columbia. This makes it practically a
national holiday, and in most of the
cities and towns of the United States
there will at least be a partial suspen-
sion of business on September q
The demonstrations, will be similar
everywhere. In Chicago, where there
is an ugly split in the ranks of organ
lied labor, there will still be a grand
street parade and a monster picnic. and
it may be that the contesting factions
will waive their differences for one day
and make full display of their num-
bers. Socialism is responsible for the
bitter family quarrel among the Chi

than many fierce contest between
capital and labor. As result of the
disruption there are now two central
bodies in the city. each acting indie
pendently of the other. One of these
is the Trade and Labor Assembly.
which has been the controlling body
for many years; the other is the Trade
and Labor Congress, an organization
formed by seeding unions.
Owing to this state of affairs tho
Building Trades Council has taken the
management of the Labor day demon
stration into its own hands. This or
ganization has planned a parade re-
plete with industrial features and novel
displays, and a picnic where there will
be a number of prominent speakers and
games of various kinds. Whatever
other organizations may do. there is no
quarrel among the building trades
unions, and their council will form the
central figure around which the work.
ing people will rally on labor's national
holiday. In this connection the Eight
Hour Herald, a labor paper edited by
Mr.. j. Carroll, says:
The building trades have already taken
steps 20 secure concerted action by the Trade
and Labor Assembly and Labor Congress for .

delphia and all the other large cities
come reports of extensive and elabo-
rate preparations for the proper cele.
bration of the day.
In Illinois there is much enthusiasm
over the arbitration law recently en-
acted by the legislature. II is believed
that the law will not only aid materi-
ally in the settlement of industrial dis
putes, but will eventually have the eff
feet of putting an end to industrial
wars in the state. Gov. Altgelds ap-
law also gives general satisfaction.
One of these commissioners is c. j.
Refer, president of the Illinois State
Federation of Labor; another is W. p.
Rend, largely interested in coal mines
and recognized friend of the working
man; the third is Judge Anthony Thorn
ton, well-known jurist who was a
member of the Illinois supreme court
from 1870 to 1878. The ratification OF
this law and of these appointments will
enter into the celebration of Labor day
In Illinois.
Several Of the well-known leaders OF
organized labor in the west will be un-
able to participate in the demonstra-
tions. Debs and Howard are still Ian
gushing in jail. and unless it should
please the powers that be to release
them before their terms have expired
they will have to content themselves
with reading the newspaper accounts
of the holiday festivities.
Samuel Gompers, ex-president of the
American Federation of Labor, and p.
j. Mcclure, first vice president OF the
same organization, will not be in Amer
lea on the I'd of September. They sailed
for England August Ii, armed with

One of the new lights in the labor
field is P. II. Morrissey, grand master

of the Brotherhood as clerk in 1885,

Before the advent of the present
regime, to be a New York policeman
was to be greater than a king. He
protected the aldermanic saloonkeeper
and that public official reciprocated by
protecting the officer when he violated
the law, something to which he was
chronicany addicted. There were daily
acts of illegal violence committed by
policemen that were never punished
The policeman with pull was invul-
nerable. Every attempt to bring him
to Justice was about as effectual as
throwing stones at an ironclad. The
policeman's billy was the crack club of
New York. The possibility that he
might be adequately punished seemed
to him to be ridiculous. He was in
state of mind similar to that of Don
Quixote de La Mancha, when he was
arrested for trying TO impale with his
lance caitiff who had spoken disre-
specially of the charms of Dulcinea de
Tobos. "Blockhead!" exclaimed the
knight Of the sorrowful figure, ''when
did you ever hear of a knight Grant
being arrested, no matter how many
homicides he may have committed"
Don Quixote's pull was imaginary, but
that of the New York policeman was a
dreadful reality.
In these days Of reform, if an officer
hits private citizen on the head to
crafty some personal within, he is very
liable 70 lose his own head And while
his ability at ''doing up" might enable
him to secure employment in grocery,
the prospect of getting another situa-
ton does not encourage him to take
any foolish risks. Fracturing mans
skull without adequate provocation has
ceased to be regarded as a,legitimate
pastime for an officer on duty, and the
consequences are liable to become as
serious to the fracturer as to the ''frac-
turee," to invent an appropriate word
He has been compelled by whole
some dread of board of police COM
nissioners, ''who know not Joseph" to
break himself of some other well
established personal habits. While in
1.-The good times" the policeman be-
longed to the aristocracy, very fire.
quently he was man of sedentary
nature, and believed in arrest with one
r. He was much given to 'loitering,'
but was disposed, particularly when
under the influence of stimulants, to

Israel had made their escape from the
house of bondage, in spite of the ex-
ample and miracles of Moses, they in
dustriously worshiped the golden calf,
sighed profoundly for the flesh pots Of
Egypt. Now that the excise laws are
enforced rigidly, and Sunday is a5so-
lutely dry there is considerable dis
satisfaction among some very good re-
formers of quiet tastes, who were in
the habit of drinking on the sly.
Ostensibly the saloons have always
been closed on Sunday, but the side
door opened and shut with as much
regularity as the jaw of woman with
q grievance. The street cars were
crowded with men whose breaths were
strong enough to run a gas engine.
The police made 70 serious effort to
close the saloons Negligent police
men and Sunday drunkenness are
simply cause and effect. AS things
are DOW. the man who succeeds in
finding saloon, into which he can
sneak on Sunday, is apt to meet with
an accident that usually occurs to
railroad men. He is liable to be caught
between the bumpers.
Under the present administration all
this has been changed. Mr.. Roosevelt,
the president of the board of police
commissioners claims that it is his Sa-
cred duty to enforce the laws, and the
police captain in whose precinct they
are violated is held to strict response
bility; consequently the saloons arc
closed. with the result that there is an
exodus for the moister climates OF
Brooklyn and New Jersey every Sun
day, that leaves New York as deserted
as the traditional banquet hall or tho
store of the man who does not adver-
tise. Not only that, but the saloons
are closed at midnight all over the city.
This arrangement hits the saloon
proprietor very hard, for more money
passed over the bar between midnight
of Saturday and Monday morning than
during all the rest of the week, hence
the saloon man suffers in mind, body
and estate" Hundreds, and possibly
thousands. of New York saloonkeepers
may be obliged to give up business en-
tirely, as under the new regime the
expenses, which are very heavy, are in
excess of the income.
1t looks very much as if the saloon
had lost most of its power in politics
OF course, it will always have a certain
influence in elections, but. practically,
''the scepter has departed from Judah"
There was time, not SO very long ago,
when owning saloon was the great
essential qualification of an alderman.
