A CONFESSION.

The New York Nation. which repres-
ents the solid" people who were strong
ly opposed to Bryan, is now rejecting
that bossism is just about as dangerous
to the republic as Bryanism. Bryan was
attacked fiercely not only because he
was an advocate of free silver but be-
cause he attacked the great corpora
tions. excited the envy and cupidity of
the poor. and q" arrayed the masses
against the classes" The Nation now
declares that much that Bryan said
about the unwhoesome influence of the
corporations or the legislatures was
true, and that it is TO his alliance with
these that Platt owes his power. Alt
geld was the subject of denunciations
even more violent than Bryan. Harp
er's Weekly published a cartoon in
which he was compared with Guiteau.
Yet Altgeld, while his language may
have been violent and demagogic, hon.

WORK WITH NoN-UNIoN MEN

Wherever 1t cannot we'll be avoided
the members of trade unions in the var
ious cities Of America will work with
non-unionists until they can be ousted.
Some organizations will not allow this
sort of thing. 1t has always been a
vexed problem and a matter for strife
all around. A partial solution has been
effected by the Boilermakers' union of
Wellington, Australia, which is built
upon the most liberal union lines Its
constitution provides that its members
shall tolerate and work with non- union
men for two weeks, and at the end of
that time. during which every effort is
to be made to bring them into the fold.
they must join the organization or
trouble ensues. But even this pacific
policy fails once in a while.
A large foundry in the antipodean
city hired two men under three months
contract They we're the only nom union
men in the establishment. Efforts at
proselyting them failed. the foreman re-
fused to bring pressure upon them. the
boss would not intercede with the fore
man and so the constitutional time limit
was reached On the last evening the
other workmen went on a strike. Since
then the two Objectionable men have
been working alone. Arbitration will be
resorted to, and meanwhile the union
contemplates changing its constitution.

THE PEOPLE WIN

The defeat of the funding bill yester-
day closes the last chapter of history
of intrigues, periidy and monumental
lying For third of a century the Pa
cific railways have been scheming to
defraud the government out of millions
of dollars when their obligations should
become due, ard yesterday the people,
through their agents in congress, met
the issue and overthrew and crushe d
the conspiracy. II is trife humiliat-
ing, however, to know that 102 of the go
congressman present were willing to
help the debtor roads to swindle the
country out of $4,000 600
And SO ends in defeat one of the most
gigantic swindling ventures ever under
taken by man. From the day the gov
ernment volunteered land donations and
financial aid to whoever would undertake
to connect the Missouri river with the
California coast of the Pacific ocean
down to the present time, the Pacific
railway enterprises have been the source
of political corruption. fortune maxim g
for a few and tyrants TO all legitimate
business efforts of the people.
The rings which have always con-
trolled have insisted from the begin
ming that because they opened up vast
sections of the country to home-seekers
and removed in large measure those
ohstructions to intercommunity trade
interchange, time and distance, they
should be treated a. great public bene-
factors and be granted any concessions
from the people they might choose to
ask for, and the people have been will
ing all along to confer upon them eX-
traordinary privileges ard advantages,
but when the roads undertook to sWndle
the government out of $12000O, 600 in the
way of securing releasement from obli-
cations which they were perfectly able
to meet. public sentiment called halt,
and public sentiment will always hold
in CONTEMPT the 1O2 congressman who
sold their manhood and integrity to
these plunderers of the people.
The defeat of the funding bill is
great victory for the people as busi'
ness proposition, but the moral effect
will be still more valuable. for the rail-
ways now know. and all other monop-
olies may well take warning, that there
is a limit to the peoples patience with
the methods the Pacific railways have
been employing.

A BOLD SCHEME

Mr.. o. D. Ashley president of the
Wabash Railroad company, pleads IL
the January Forum for tariff commits
sion and the separation OF the question
from politics The drift of the talk OF
the leading high protectionists since the
election has been to impress upon the
minds of the people the fact that the
tariff question is altogether a business
proposition, and that it should not be
allowed to enter the field of politics a,
all. II will be remembered that in all
his speeches during the campaign Ma
icr Mckinley. as did all the other Re
publican speakers. tried very hard to
hut now that the Republican party has
the president and congress. the tariff
question should be transferred from the
hustings to commission empowered
to adjust the tariff schedules to the de
mands of the industries upon business
principles. Having the appointing pow
er safely lodged in the hands of their
friends, the industries are anxious to
have commission appointed so as to
take the question out OF the hands of
the people. 1t is amazing that mar
| of Mr.. Ashleys experience with the
people should attempt to catch them in
q trap so glaringly conspicuous.
To eliminate the tariff question from
politics and place it under the control
of a commission 5 - cted by the Carne-
gies and the Rockefeilers of the country,
for that is what it would amount to.
would be to deprive the people of their
highest and most essential political
right. The essence of the strength o"
our system OF government is in the SOY
oreign right OF the people to say what
the economic and financial policy of the
country shall be, with a further right to
change the policy from time to time,
or as often as tehy like. a tariff commits
sion with authority TO fix and establish
customs duties would be the equivalent
cf the dlsfranchisement Of every voter
In the TINTED States, so far as the right
to vote upon the tariff question is con-
cerned. Surely the people are not ready
to surrender their constitutional right
of self government to commission.
Every political and social advantage
the American citizen enjoys is so inti-
mately connected with economic and
financial problems that he could not sur
render his right to have a voice in deter
mining the business policy of the gov
ernment without rendering every other
right and privilege utterly worthless,
| Had not Major Mckinley and Repub-
| lican congress been elected. no such sug
Gestion as a tariff commission would

a SIGNIFICANT DIALOGUE.

The Hon. Benton McMillin, who is a
member of the committee on ways and
means, has been making it rather un-
comfortable for the witnesses who have
been telling that arm of the house how
much they want congress to take from
the pockets of the people and give to
them. a few days ago the Tennessean
discovered that a man with a foreign
accent was asking for more protection,
ard tlss following dialogue ensued:
How long have you been in the busi-
ness"

What proportion of the six months
has your factory been running?"
Four months"
How many hands do you empIoy?"

States?"

TRAMPS AND THEIR TRADES

In talking with an aggregate of 1900
idle men during his travels, J. Syme
Hastings AYERS that 4,S00 out of every
5000 tramps have trades, and he shows
the percentage of different trades and
callings. According to him. the brick
layer is in the lead in the building
trades. with 250 out of each 5000 tramps,
most of which are in the south, where
the colored bricklayers are in demand
on account of their working at much
cheaper wage than their white brother.
Next comes the plumber. with about 200
in each 5000, most of which are credited
with being unfinished wOrkmen. Then
the painters appear with about $50 in
each 5000 tramps, and these are all ac-
credited as skilled mechanics. and the
writer adds If all of those who could
paint were included the number would
be doubled, and we are prepared TO
state that If all who claim to be painters
were added he could quadruple the num-
ber Timers average about 1875 in each
5000, carpenters about 75, iron workers
about So and stonemasons about so in
each 5000. So it will be seen that If the
many trades still unmentioned that con-
tribute to the building trades were in
cluded in the above they would bring
the average up to about 1900 in each
5000, nearly one In every four. In con-
clusion Mr.. Hastings says that the aver
age tramp has a fairly good education.
The ragged garb of the tramp conceals
many faults and virtues In men. The
escaped convict and the minister of
the gospel sleep soundly at the same
campfire and share handouts. But who
shall throw the first stone? Who knows
when his turn shall come to join the
army? A few months out of work a few
hundred miles away from home, and you
are a tramp in the eyes of the people
and the law-even though your spirit
rebels and you know that you are simply
lin hard uck."-Chicago Chronicle.

QUESTION OF ADIPOSE

A criminal lawyer of long experience
at the bar was heard to say the other
day:
Il have made juries in murder cases
an especial study. There are large num-
ber of men, larger than most people
suppose. who have scruples about find
ing death as punishment for a murder
err l used to make it my business to
study jurymen's faces and see if could

scruples about the death sentence.
gave this up, though, as being beyond
my power of comprehension. Later
continued study of the jury box led me
to a discovery. That was that in nire
cases out of ten jury composed most
ly Of tall, lean men would, when the
evidence was sufficient. never have the
slightest hesitation about fixing the eX-
treme sentence. On the other hand, a
jury where short, fat men predomin-
ated in number would occupy twice as
much time in finding its verdict. and
>when brought in it would generally be

FIRST AMERICAN CLOCK.

The personal property of the late Jas.
Terry at one time Terryville's leading g
citizen, recently was sold at public auc-
ton. Much of the property consisted of
books and household goods left by Mr..
Terry, besides a few articles belonging &
to the estate of Mr.. Terry's grandfather,
Eli Terry, the first clockmaker of Amer
ica.
The greatest interest centered in the
sale of the original grandfather
clock" Eli Terry's first production, and,
therefore, the first tall clock made by an
American. 1t is a remarkably hand
some timep piece, the ultimate ownership
of which has been the cause of consider
able controversy. The bidding was con-
fined to James Terry of New Haven and
T.. Clinton Terry of Hartford, the late
Mr.. Terry's only sons. and the old clock
was finally bought by E. c. Terry for
$1,000 Hartford Courant.

NATIONAL DIVORCE LAW.

\ movement is on foot for national
divorce law. This has been brought
about by the extreme laXity of divorce
statutes in some Of the states Of the
union Under The present loose and i'm
perfect system Of granting divorces in
this country the rigid laws which pre-
vail in some states are completely null-
fed in those of others For instance,
if man in Kansas or Missouri, or most
any other state. becomes dissatisfied
with his wife for some trivial rea son all
that he has to do is to take up his resi-
dence for a short time in one of the
states OF the northwest or Oklahoma.

being once more single. While the evils
arising from the lack of uniform divorce
laws is manifest to every one who has
given the subject any thought, it is
simply out of the question TO secure a
general law without first amending the
constitution of the United States At
present the right to grant divorces is
vested In the several states, and not un-
til this right is surrendered to the gen.
eral government can our national law
makers enact a general law upon the

PNEUMATIC STOCKINGS

The latest idea in connection with cy-
cling, says the Norwalk Call. is the pro-
duct of Monte Carlo croupier's ingenu-
ity. and takes the form of pneumatic
stockings. These are to be of silk and
elastic, with a chamber for compressed
air, infiatable in the usual way. Its
object is to improve the appearance of a
leg lacking in shapeliness, and to save
the shins from contusions, to which they
are liable. From Paris comes the news
that a firm has on view an entire suit
of pneumatic clothing. Who knows but
that in the near future the silks, satins
and velvets of today will give place tc
inflated garments, and that we shall be
puffed up with pride that goeth before
