To Eyadp the Law,

In the Supreme Court at Albany.
decision of which is liable to prove
block against the prison labor clause
in the state constitution going into &C
tive effect Jan. /. The suit will prove
a test as to the rights of contracts with
the penitentiaries in Kings, Onondago,
New York, Monroe and Erie counties
to continue work after Jan. 1, IL their
contracts so read. Two contracts
which call for the employment Of about
475 men, expire next month, and to
each is ATTACHED a clause giving the
contractor the right to renew his con-
tract for three years If he so desires,
provided he lives up to his part OF the
contract. The contractors have served
notice on Superintendent Dearstyne
and the penitentiary commission that
they desire to renew their contracts.
The contention of the contractors is
that no state shall pass any law by
Legislative enactment, or otherwise,
which will in any way invalidate or an
null any existing contract. The right
to renew contract is just as binding
as the contract itself; in fact, it is
part of the contract The question to
come up is very serious one. The
courts may hold that the state has no
right to do through its constitution
that which the constitution of the
United States says it shall not do.

Call 1t a Siamese.

The heaviest locomotive in the world
was made in Providence, RI, and is in
daily operation on the most difficult
and mountainous section of the Mexi-
can Central railroad. 1t weighs $780,
900 pounds, or 100 tons, and is espe-
cially designed for mountain climbing
The railroad men call it a Siamese,
because it is, in fact, two locomotives
permanently united. 1t is used for the
purpose of freight trains, and is unique
In the mechanical world. The locomo-
tive was designed by F. w. Johnston,
and his professional rivals said that it
was impracticable. The same was said
of the first railroad locomotive and the
pioneer steamboat. The Locomotive is
double In all its parts, in fact, two To-
comotives end to end, with single cab
in the center. One single stiff frame
carries the two boilers and driving
mechanisms, each machine resting on
three rollers which are placed close
together. The difficulty of running
this colossal engine on comparatively
short curves is met by so arranging
the fore and rear parts that they ac-
commodate themselves to the curves.
The engine, therefore, despite it's great
length, can go around much shorter
curves in safety than the ordinary sin
gle locomotive. The mechanical ar
rangement of the driving wheels was
the chief difficulty met by the builder

Must Go On.

The Missouri World is one of the
reliable middle-of-the-road populist
papers. 1t favors continuing the ed
vocational campaign. In a recent issue
the World says:
"All the principles of populism
must be framed into law, and there
fore the educational work necessary
to secure such action must go far-
ward. The voters must be taught that
law creates money, that paper money
is the beacon light of an advanced re-
demption money is a fraud and de.
lusion: that the transportation Ques-
ton is one of vital interest and the
railroads should be operated as Is the
postal system-by and in the interest
of the people. Then, there is the land
question and the initiative and refer
endum. We must push forward. The
mission of the peoples party must be
accomplished. The dark days of VAL
lev Forge did not subdue the glorious
courage of Washington, and while
some of our membership may feel
somewhat discouraged at the outlook
we believe the bulk of the reform
movement will never surrender nor
ever turn back"

The Rev. William Justin Hartha,
pastor of the Second Collegiate Re-
formed church in Harlem, N. Y, has
attempted to prove the story of Jonah
by the following statement extracted
from his sermon yesterday: Certain
of our daily papers are troubled be-
cause he MOODY believes in the story
of Jonah. Yet may call your atten-
ton to the Investigations of M. Cour-
bet, the eminent French scientist, and
Of the Prince of Monaco. They have
shown that the sperm whale is able
to swallow cephalopods much larger
and much heavier than a man. 1t is
also upon record that in February,
1891, a certain James BARLEY was
swallowed by whale, and after day
and night, his companions in the ship
Star of the East cut him out and found

assignment, but compromised by pay
ing its creditors rs cents on the dollar
The company opened its factory again
and offered a reduction of from Is to
% per cent. One of the conditions OF
employment was that the employees
leave half their wages in the hands OF
the company until March, 1897. One
of the men employed under these con-
ditions after two weeks asked the firm
for some of the wages due him, as his
family was suffering for want of food
and clothing. He was given his money
in full and warned never to enter the
factory again.

There is much being said in the
papers now about the tide of pros
perity which began to flow the daR
after the election of Mckinley was an
nounced. The Advocate will rejoice
with its neighbors when prosperity
does actually come to stay. These sud-
den spurts are the creatures of the
stock exchange, and it is to be hoped
that people will not be led astray by
them.
Prosperity must have something
more substantial than wind to rest
upon. 1t is said that confidence is all
that is necessary to set things ago
ing. But it is not easy to feed the
hungry and clothe the naked with con-
fidence. Confidence makes a poor din
ner, and it is not worth farthing as
garment. Until we furnish to the
people something that they can use
in purchasing supplies there will be
no increased demand for manufactured
goods, and without orders the mills
will not run.
Does anybody believe that factories
closed as long as they had demand for
their products? Are railroad COM
panies in the habit Of refusing to-
carry passengers and freight when
they offer to pay their way? Let
there be a demand for things and
things will be supplied. Under pres
ent conditions a long period of sub
stantial prosperity will not come. Let
people be careful about going in debt
beyond their present means of pay
ment

speakers, speaking from twenty
stands, were anti-Jackson democratg
men who had voted for Jackson at
his first election, but now opposed him
because he had turned traitor and was
trampling on the constitution and the
liberties Of the people. They appoint
ed committee of 300 democrats to go
to Washington and ask Jackson to de-
slst from his course in running the
country. When this committee got to

bankers so far forgot himself as to
say to the president that If he per-
sisted In his course the people would
rise en- masse and come to Washington

Mr.. President, in those days the DEM

was the final result? When the cleo
ton was over and the vote counted,
Andrew Jackson, the hero of the peo-
pie, had swept the whole country by
storm! He had more majority than the
other candidates had votes. Then
democrats rejoiced with an exceeding
great joy. Bonfires were kindled on
the hills, church bells were rung and
towns, villages and cities were illumi-
mated. And amid the general Joy
the Jackson men sang a song of VIC
tory. How well l remember those
glorious days! Sixty years have
rolled around since, but 1 can hear
that song yet:
