ALIEN CONTRACT LABOR

Solicitor Reeves, of the Treasury, has
just rendered an opinion regarding the
construction of the alien contract labor
law, which will be of absorbing interest
not only TO tue working classes, but also
TO employers. 1t is the more important
in that it is radically opposed to the
recent interpretation of the statute by
\ law officer of the United States In
Chicago.
II is held by the solicitor that a con-
tract made with an alien outside of the
United States. even if the contractor rem
ders no financial assistance to the alien
he expects to employ. is in violation Of
the law. This opinion, which will be adj
hered to by the Treasury Department,
largely narrows the circle within which
the importation of alien labor can be car
ried on. 1t affords new protection to
the working classes in this country, and
lessons the competition OF cheap Euro
pean labor with the better paid American
workingman.
The rigid enforcement of the law on
the lines laid down by Solicitor Reeves
will do a great deal to better the condi
ton of American workingmen, for their
wages will increase in proportion as COM
petition with cheap labor Is crushed out.

The general sentiment seems to be ad-
verse 10 the Metropolitan on account OF its
qeed. Now, let us admit the Metropoli-
ian cars run at rather rapid speed. Does
iat justify any one TO drive in front of
hem, at the peril OF many lives? The
driver says he looked, as usual, and neither
saw nor heard anything. AL know that
when the electric cars are running at a
rapid rate they can be heard distinctly
a square and in the quiet part of the city
the buzz can be heard much farther.
The several accidents to the Belt cars
the last few days is a clear demonstration
there must be careiessness on the part of
the employees of this road, but think the
real blame rests upon the shoulders OF the
yrannical officials, for they keep the men
in abject fear, and persons working in
such a state of mind are hardly accountable
for their actions.

have noticed repeatedly the awkwardness
and careiessness of some OF the drivers on
the Belt and its branches, and have attrib-
uted this to the fact that the men are so

Wellsworth, of Delphos, o., died as theresult
Of peculiar misadventure. She was run
ming through the garden when she fell on
her face. scrambling to her feet, she i'm
mediately complained of something causing
her head to throb. The pain soon became
worse and physician was ca lied, who was
unable to diagnose the case. The child
grew worse and died four hours after the ac-
cident in great agony. An examination of
her head was made from the nose. and
large green gooseberry was found in a
small recess far back in the head. The
only theory which can be arrived at is that
in falling the berry was introduced into the
child's nose, and by drawing her breath
quickly the berry was drawn into the head
The gooseberry was about the size ofa small

NO CHANGE OF POLICY

The statement that President Cleveland
will permit ex-secretary Whitney to call
a halt to his policy OF crushing out the
free silver sentiment in tue Democratic
party is ridiculous. Under the circum-
stances such au attempt would be almost
as impossible as to stop the roll OF the
ocean. The statement that Mr.. Whit
ney has given such instructions win not
be accepted with confidence.
Secretary Smith is now in Georgia
making vigorous campaign against sill
yer. Secretary Carlisle is in Kentucky
ostensibly to bring about peace between
opposing Democratic factions, but really
TO strengthen the Cleveland cause. and
no administration has ever before taken
such an active part in politics as has
that of President CIeveland's within the
past six months.
The truth is-should the Democratic party
repudiate the Presidents financial policy at
the next national convention-mstead of
going out OF office as an idol of the people
Mr.. Cleveland would retire as the favorite
only of gold spectators and trust magnates,
and for that reason vigorous efforts are
necessary to preserve his reputation as u
popular President.
Whether or not this can be done remains
tobc seen. Should another bond issue be
made it is doubtful if even the tremendous
influence which President Cleveland can
exert through the wealthy element would
save him from intense unpopularity, so great
is the objection to that means Of replenishing
our treasury.
Meanwhile the administration keeps right

Ma jOr COlonna's Resignation Not Ac-

The confederate Veterans Association
met last night, the presiding officer being
DR.. j.. A Moioney. Among the matters
of business'was the passage of suitable reso-
lutions' on the death of their late comrade,

decline 10 receive the rendered resignation

umbrage at published reports of a recent
meeting in which his name was mentioned

The association received a committee
from the Ladies' Southern Relief Society
on the subject of cooperation in aid of
an exhibit at the Atlanta exposition.
By resolution Capt. W. p. Loud was re-
quested to communicate with all managers
of hospitals in the city with q view OF
having them notify the association when

WANING PREJUDICE.

One of the most noteworthy incidents
of the Opening Of the Atlanta Exposition,
one that assumes an almost historic in
terest9 and significanSe, was the presence
there, as prominent factors in the cere-
monies, of women and colored men. Itwas
evidence of change of sentiment in South
ern conservatism and prejudice.
In the most progressive and enterprsing
city of the South, in the midst of an as
semblage composed largely of Southern peo-
pie, a woman stood forth at the Inaugural
ton of a great Industrial undertaking and
told of the share that women had taken in
making it success 1t W as not the first
time, it is true, that such recognition had
been accorded to-wonnn, but il W as the first
time that such a thing happened south Of
Mason and Dixon's line. 1t constituted
the official concession of the South of the
enlarged rightsand privileges of the W omen
OF the land.
OF. equal If not greater significance
was that part of the ceremonial which
brought into the foreground the represen-
tative of the colered race When Booker
T. Washington stepped forward to nd
dress that vast assemblage the respectful
hearing accorded him testified the fact
that the South hascome torecognize and con-
cede the fitness of the negro as a citizen
and as an agency in the moral and material
progress of the country. 1t was practi-
cal admission that the negro is fit for
other things than being hewer of W ood and
drawer of water. The mastery character
of Mr. Washington's address, which has
been generally pronounced the best effort
Of the day, is legitimate source of pride
to the race he represented.
Time is the great leveler. It breaks
down the barriers of prejudice, and under
its influence the impossible OF yesterday
is the accomplished fact of to-day.

UP GOES THE PRICE OF COAL.

The ecomplacency with which the Attorney
Generals office views the growth and in
fluence of trusts is astonishing. Prices are
advanced by these industrial combines and
millions ia ken from the public without dis
turbing in the least the peacefulness of the
legal mind that rules our department of
justice. All this quiet, too, in the face Of
open and flagrant violations OF the anti
trust section of the tariff law, which was
claimed by Congress to be lnfalible.
The latest advance in prices has been
made b y the great anthracite coal combine.
Within few days that trust has increased
the price oil coal from 40 to 55 cents a ton,
according to quality, and as two advances
have already been made it is difficult to
sa y If the end Is yet. The trust owns er
controls the principal anthracite coal fields
ofPennsyrsania, aud can command another
advance should its ruling spirits SO decide.
There would not be 50 much of an oh
lection TO a slight Increase in the price
of coal -4f' the advance could be added
to the wdses of miners,5 but that good for
tune will never happen SO long as the coal
markets. in the hands of a trust. Men
who John fortunes fosefleece the public
are seldom humane eDpugh 10 pay decent
wages, and while the coal trust will reap
abundant wealth through frequent advances
of prices, ii must not be expected that
the operatives will receive any benefit.
Meantime, while trusts are increasing
in numbers and power, II would be well for
the public to remember that we have an
antitrust law. The only object in keep
ing this fact fresh in the public mind is
around Next time let the country have
an antitrust administration, as well as
an antitrust law.
