what Travelling Man Discovered

:" nut travelling Man Discovered
mt Kansas Hotel.
From the Kansas City Times
The travelling man who always Sun
days in Kansas City when in the vicinity
because his best girl lives here was in a
cheerful frame Of mind and told all the
stories he knew. One Of them is, perhaps.
worthy of record:
Last Wednesday," said he, II was in a
little town down in Kansas. 1 took lunch
at the only restaurant in the town 1 or
dered dish Of STRAWBERRIES and the waiter
brought me heaping plate Of them Fine
berries they were, too. 1 was surprised
at the liberal quantity served, and said
50.
Cheapest thing we've got said the
waiter.
When I got ready to eat them I looked
around for the powdered sugar. The wait
er came to me and said: Want powdered
sugar" l said 1 did, and he went away
and came back with a little powder gun,
such as they fire insect powder out Of,
from which he squirted sugar over and
into the berries.
he. an berries be mighty cheap. We gen.
orally sugar the berries ourselves when
they ask for sugar
That's new one on me- says L
Well, the boss Is mighty close says
the waiter. an has got to cut corners to
make Twin. Some hogs used to come in
here and put spoonsful of sugar on a plate
of berries an SO he thinks up this
scheme
The powder gun has it's advantages when
one powders on the economical Kansan's
method. because it squirts the sugar into
the crevices aid puts some sugar on the
top berry instead Of all the sugar on the
top berries.

But you are the one who furnishes what

why Good Paper 4. Wanting.

George Haven Putnam propounds a curl
Gus explanation for the poor quality of the
paper used in recent European books. He
says 1t Is due to the decline of Moslem
fanaticism on the eastern shores of the
Mediterranean. Myriads of pilgrims used
to cross those dres.ry deserts on their way
to Mecca every one clothed in fine linen.
Thousands died by the wayside, and 1t was
a profitable business to strip the bodies of
their hnea for the use of European paper
mills. Now the Moslem is losing his faith
and the publishers are losing their supply
of the best grade of paper.

NEW BUSINESS.
Attention of the assembly was
called to the label of the Typo
graphical union and the advisibil-
ity of seeing that it is on all printed
matter of business concerns seek
ing public patronage, which called
forth the following resolution;
"Whereas, The Trades & Labor
assembly of Superior, Wis.,, is
firm believer in the maintenance OF
fair conditions, union hours and
union wages, and believes that
these can be best secured by goods
bearing the union label, which in
dicates they have been manutac-
tured by union men, working tor
fair employers, it is therefore
"Resolvcd, That the members OF
this organization pledge the1n-
selves to advance the interests OF
all union labels, and especially that
of the International Typographical
union, and will request merchants
and others with whom they deal to
see that it appears upon their print
ing; and be it further
"Resolved, That the members OF
this assembly use every honorable
endeavor to have the papers to
which they subscribe and the books
which they purchase, bear the I'M
print of honest labor, namely, the
label representing the TypograPh-
ical union and affiliated trades"

the railroad corporations have
beenrapidly and surely closing up
their ranks; scores OF the smaller
companies have been swallowed
up by the trunk lines and all are
represented by an "up to date'
organization that enables them
to act as a unit on all questions
of general concern and muster
in their united forces at the first
chirp from a common enemy.
The trend is in the direction of
combination and closer organ
ization, in every branch of in
dustry, and what has been true
Of the smaller railroad lines will
be true of the small merchant,
manufacturer and farmer. They
are being forced to the wall and
must give way to the over
mastering greed of the larger
institutions that are rapidly
assuming the proportions OF
trusts and monopolies in every
line of trade, and are exerting
a controlling influence in our
political as we'll as industrial
affairs. Workingmen must un-
derstand that politics is the
science of government and that
so long as they vote the same
ticket as their masters, they
forge their own chains and per-
petuate the social and industrial
conditions of which they COM
plain. Railway employees real
lie now as they never did before
the need of thorough organiza-
ton, and understand that their
only hope lies in the solidarity
of not only the railway workers
but all workers, upon the true
political and industrial principles
of liberty justice and fra
ternitY: In such a movement
there is ultimate and inevitable
victory, for
Through all warning seas OF lite
One vast current sunward rolls,
Aud within all outward strife
One eternal right controls
Right, at whose divine command
Slaves go free and captives fall,
In the might of those who stand
All for one and one for ALL

from A. L. Randall, chairman of
the International Typographical
Union Committee on Government
Ownership of Telegraph, was read:
being vitality interested in the
outcome of the agitation for gov
eminent ownership of telegraph
facilities, the printers of the United
States have, through the Interna-
tional Typographical Union, inaug-
urated an active campaign, in be-
half of the reform. This work has
been entrusted to competent COM
mittee composed of Washington
printers, which has been prosecut-
ing it for the past two years with
what, under the circumstances,
must be regarded as gratifying sue
cess. On the theory that the indus
trial forces of the country should
attend to first things first, the COM
nittee asks you to commence i'm
mediately vigorous agitation in
your locality, and induce business
men, commercial, labor and other
organizations and clubs of reform
ers to pass strong resolutions in
favor of this reform, sending them,
under seal, to your two senators and
the representative of your congress
sional district, with a demand that
the peoples representatives advo-
cate and vote for this reform. AS
many individuals as possible
should write direct to senator's and
representatives.
"Great Britain, in 1889, had 49,
600 miles of wire, while the Western
Union in the same year had 645697;
yet the latter sent fewer messages
than the former. In countries
where the government operates the
telegraph it has proven that rates
are Scarcely one-half what they are
in this country. The United States
is the only country where the tele-
graph is not part OF the postal
system, and if the government con-
trolled here, the rates could De re-
duCed more than One-half and the
system be self-sustaining."
After some discussion the follow
ing resolution was unanimously
passed:
"Whereas, after due consideration
and discussion, the members OF
Superior Trades and Labor Assem-
bly,, of Superior, Wis, have been
convinced that the best interests OF
the people would be subserved by
the Naturalization of our telegraph
lines it is hereby
"Resolved, That the Hon. ohm J.
Jenkins, member of congress for
this district, and Senators Villas and
Mitchell, representing the state in
the senate of the United States, are
hereby requested to work and vote
for the bill to secure government
ownership and control of the tele-
graph lines, which has secured the
Endorsement of the International
Typographical Union.'
