In San Francisco striking painters
lately killed a man for working for less
than union wages. The writer in the
News, despite his endeavor To Indirectly
make it appear 50, cannot ruhfully
attribute such spirit to the Columbia
River Fishermen's Protective Union.
For compact and unanimous holy OF

displayed wonderful patience, which goes
to prove that they have agreed TO sub

Of the union have decided is best for

According to the census OF i@o the
amount OF wages paid annually TO me-
chanics, artisans, aad laborers in the
United States was Sl.jss,Sl6.S5. Besides
this over SScG,clS,coo was paid to piece
workers and about $4OO. rc,,lO as salaries
to officers, clerks and other employees OF
tirms and corporations, In all the enor-
nous sum OF Ss.2SS s5O.coO is shown TO be
paid cut every year in salaries and wages
to thoss who work. day by day and
month by month. for the support OF
themselves and families. II is a sum
so vast that the Imagination can hardly
grasp IL. and 1t exceeds by more than a
third the whole amount Of the national
debt. II is sometimes supposed that
bondholders. shareholders and mortgage
holders form the principal creditors OF
the country, but they do not compare
in number with the vast army OF workers
in every vocation OF life to whom the
billions above mentioned are due and
payable every year. These are the true
creditors and the people whose interests
demand the greatest protection. Every
day some person or hrm or corporation
becomes more and more in debt to them
until the time Of settlement comes around
and then each worker wants his money.
A bond or a note is not more peremp-
tory in requiring settlement at the ap-
pointed date than is the daily. the week
ly or the monthly wage Of the worker
for hire. He is a creditor. he is entitled
to prompt payment, as much as II he
held 4 bond or a note, and in the best
money that the world affords. Can it be
possible then that the workingmen OF
this nation, who receive every year these
millions and millions Of dollars for the
labor OF their hands and brains, desire
that they shall be paid !n cheap money
and in deprecated currency? How can
they be thus gulled?
And here is another consideration. OF
this great sum thus paid TO the working
men nearly one-third finds its way to
the savings bank, where it draws inter-
est and is kept for emergencies. Are
We to understand that ;his army of de-
positors are willing TO enact laws or en-
force a national policy by which the
officers OF these savings banks may re-
turn them a currency worth scarcely
more than one-half OF what they deposit
ed? AS it stands today these deposits
nave the value of geld and each depositor
can demand gold or It's equivalent.
Should a free coinage bill be enacted
these deposits would be paid in silver
dollars Of only half value in the currency
Of the world. Is this not a subject wor-
thy OF thought on the part Of the wage
earners? Most assuredly there ought TO
be no free silver voters among them.

The Captains Title of Respect

The captain of a certain large
sailing vessel insists upon being
addressed as "Sir" by every one
on board. One day a new hand
joined the ship, and a short time
after leaving harbor, beng a
well.seasoned old salt, he was
intrusted with the wheel. The
captain came up and put the
usual question, ~"How's her
head ?"
Nor '-by-east." answered the
old tar, very gruffly, taking the
customary hitch of his trous

might do so, too: Now. hOw's

"Nor'-by east. l tell yer,"
shouted the tar, displaying not
a little irritation.
I'm afraid you don't quite
understand me-" responded the
captain, good. .humoredly. LET
me relieve you at the wheel, and
then do you take my place and
ask me the question. l will

Eve s till Lows serpents.

What is it that makes the
daughters of Eve admire snake
skins? One would ,hink that
they would want to gel as far
away from it as possib e; but,
o the contrary, every woman
who can afford it is wearing
snakeskin somewhere on her
person. Bags and purses, card
cases and belts, the backs of
gift books, toilet accessories and
everything else that a woman
can get covered with snak esk in
goes. The skin has come TO
cost as much as the Russia
leather, and "snake farms" are
now much more valuable as re-
venue producers than wheat
farms. 1t is worthy Of note
that no woman of the swell set
has yet taken to wearing a
tanned rattler's hide around
her hat, as the Mexicans do,
but that will probably be the
b ginning of the end of a
not pretty fasion at best The
SIX in takes a high polish and is
as durable as alligator skin.

For the same reason that con-
gress ought to practice greater
liberality toward the militia or
ganizations of the different
states, ii should extend more
generous assistance to the naval
militia. At the present time
there is a meager appropriation
of $25,000, with which but little
can be accomplished in the way
of equipping the several bodies
already in existence and that
may yet be formed. With every
newly organized one the ailot-
mentto the states based upon the
strength of the militia in each
becomes less for each company.
Just now a naval battalion
has been formed in New Orleans.
Recently one was organized in

to be encouraged by active in
terest on the part of congress
and such appropriations as will
give assurance to their members
that their undertaking is appre.
ciated. The problem of man.
ming our navy in the event a
sudden emergency should arise
Is most grave, but with the nu-
cleus of an ample naval MALTA
il could be solved with much
less difficulty than would be the
case il present conditions con
tinue to prevail.
Massachusetts,, New York,
New Jersey, North Carolina,
Georgia. Louisiana and Califor.
MIA are already in line with ma
val battalions. If congress were
to show a propes disposition to-
ward existing organizations,
and treat them with the liber>
ality to which their patriotic
undertaking entities them. there
is no doubt other states would
rapidly follow. In Ohio and
Illinois the movement is already
very strong, aud one or more
battalions may be expected in
each of these States in the near
future. Now, let congress do
its part.
