REPUDLATING THE REVOLUTTON-
lists.

The Illinois Federation of Labor, at
it's annual meeting held at Blooming
ton few days ago, passed the fol-
lowing resolution:
Resolved: That the trades union move
ment is menaced by the . efforts OF revolution.
of its organization, the assistance and en-
couragement of labor organizations in main
tanning equitable wages, and regards in
tolerable all efforts to connect them in any
way with agitation in favor of impracticab1e
socia1istic theories and anarchism in any
form.
Such a declaration as this by the
strongest labor organization in one of
the largest states is timely and graft
fying evidence that the genuine
workingmen of the country are fast
coming to an appreciation of the fact
that the professional agitators and
revolutionists like Debs and Sover
eign do the cause of labor great in
jury and that the sooner they are re-
pudiated the better it will be for hon
est wage workers. The authors of
the above resolution know what they
are talking about. They live in the
state in which Debs inaugurated his
civil war and launched his socialistic
commonwealth, and through which
Sovereign has been ranting for years.
They have seen these men and others
like them, who, if they ever had any
useful occupation abandoned it long
ago, breaking into the associations in
which working people are enrolled
and assuming control, posing before
the public as the champions of labor,
stirring up strife between employers
and employees, and Whenever there
has been strike appearing on the
scene to prevent an amicabler settle
ment and counsel violence and disor-
der.
That they are wise in this cannot
be doubted, for most of the mistakes
and defeats of labor organizations are
traceable to the bad advice and ma.
lign inf1uenc of the Socialistic agita7
tors who never work except with
their mouths, and who while claiming
to be the especial and most devoted
champions of labor live by creating
troubles in which the laboring classes
are the greatest sufferers. Mirror

TORPEDO BOAT FLOTILLA.

Commander 5Kimball has received
rom Acting Secretary Roosevelt final
Instructions for the movements of the
Drpedo boat f1otilla, and all is now
eady for the start of this novel expe-
ition.
The start will be made Oct. 1 from
Few York, with five boats, namely,
Xhe Foote, the Porter, the Dupont,
he Ericsson and the Gushing. The
commander will take his way down
he coast, stopping here and there for
week or two, at his discretion. He
kill explore the coast waters, and
EARN whether operations should be
Conducted in shore or off shore, de-
PENDENT upon the locality, whether
here are harbors that might serve to
heller the torpedo boats while not
pig enough to admit battleshlps, and,
10 fact, all information that is needed
or guarding the coast with such boats
LIS he commands.
The maneuvers at first will be of the
timplest character, such as working
but the new theory of search curves,
by which vessel may be intercepted
with the least amount of searching.
Then the qualities of the various boats
will be developed in all kinds of
Weather.
1t is fully expected that there will
be breakdowns in each and all of the
boats, and it is for the purpose of
learning and curing these defects that
the maneuvers are designed. The
captains of the little crafts will be
trained to use their boats under all
possible conditions, and actual torpe-
hoes will be used under such condi-
lions as are to be met at sea. Night
Drills will be held, and the boats will
be made to rendezvous at appointed
places in the darkest weather.
The fotilla will work slowly along
he coast until it reaches the gulf. 1t
will go to Galveston and then when
he spring tides come as many of the
1oats as can make the trip will be

COSTLY DIPLOMACY.
THE TRANSvAAL PAYS A FOREIGN
MINISTER se5, 900 A YEAR.

Sharp Contrsse - Uncls ssm's Frugal
Poiiey-Ameriesn Ministers Most Have
Private Eortunes-Advsntages which
Money Gives In Diplomatic Negotiations.
Our state department. at Washington
must have read with astonishment the
recently published report that Dr.. Will.
liam.J. Leyds, secretary Of state Of the
Boer republic. had been accorded the
enormous salary Of $86, 900 . year for
representing the Transvaal a. minister
plenipotentiary in the various capitals
Of Europe. Uncle Sam is 20 frugal in
his expenditures for diplomatic purposes
that such prodigality on the part Of the
puny South African Republic must have
given tho good gentleman a severe
shook.
sIt is probahlp, however, that Dom
Paul Kruger knows what he is paying
for. No doubt the object in giving Dr..
Leyds 20 large . salary a. $4,000 .
year is to enable him to represent the
Transvaal in such . manner in the vari-
ous capitals Of KureQe as to impress the
people with whom 10 II brought into
ofaciakqpntaot with the Importance Of
his govsfnmant.
While much has been written about
the uselessness Of costly missions abroad
in these modern days. when all the
great capitals Of the world are connected
with ono another by wire and when it
10 possible for q minister Of foreign
affairs to convey his instructions and
orders to their destinations within few
minutes, without leaving any latitude
to the discretion or direction Of the en-.
voy. there is no doubt that an embassa-
dor who is able to represent his country
on a scale Of grandeur and magnif-
cence, who 10 sble to entertain on q
The sun., 1897-12-24

large scale, has it in his power to serve
the interests Of his government far more
eficaciously than diplomat who for
one reason or another can make no
show.
Not one but dozens of treaties Of tho
utmost international importance have
been. so 10 speak, foated into port on a
tidal wave Of champagne, and this is
even more the case nowadays, when al
liances are announced in the shape Of
postprandial toasts than it was when
Lord Elgin came to this country with
Laurence Oliphant in the fifties for the
purpose Of concluding his commercial
treaty with the United States. That is
why Great Britain accords to her embas-
sador at Paris salary Of $50, 900, to-
gether with allowances to the tune Of
an additional $40, 900, and the use of a
handsome palace entirely furnished.
The ambassadors Of Russia, Germany
and Austria in Paris have abodes which,
if not quite 60 sumltuous, are still very
grand and stately, and salaries Of about
$40, 600 per annum, while England pays
her envoys in the other capitals Of Eu-
rope ON the same magnificent scale, pro-
viding in almost every case an imposing
palace or mansion furnished even down
to the item Of gold and silver plate, as
at Paris. The English ambassador at
Constantinople has two palaces, one at
Pera and the other at Therapia, togeth-
er with a couple Ct steam launches, a
state barge and q government steam
yacht, commanded by lieutenant and
manned by so British tars, all being
maintained for the official and private
use Of his eScellency by the British gov
ernment.
1t will readily be seen from this that
unless the United States happens to find
man of wealth willing to undertake
the not always grateful task Of repre-
senting this country as ambassador
abroad he must necessarily, with his
$4,000 salary, convey to the people
among whom he is sent to reside less
powerful impression of the prestige and
Of the grandeur Of his native land than
his fellow ambassadors.
1t is only fair to add that these highly
paid ambassadors of European countries
devote conscientiously all the money
which they receive from the state tt
the purpose for which it is granted,
many of them, indeed, dipping heavily
into whatever private resources they
may happen to possess.

are not particularly extravagant. the

During that year President Kruger

GOLDEN MAY BE STILL HERE
Alleged Mysterious Disappearance
Of Senator ThurstOn's Nephew.
Was After an Indian Agency, But
Was Told He Would Not
Be Appointed.

Mr.. NJ. Golden, d politician of Oklahoma,
nephew of Senator Thurston, of Ne
braska, and q personal friend OF Senator
Quay, If Pennsylvania, is said to have
Inysteriously disappeared from Washing
ton, where he has been for some time eu
deavoring to secure the appointment OF
agent to the Usage Indians.
The missing man was strongly backed
by both these Senators for the position,
but there seemed other and stronger In
fluence which kept him from securing the
place he coveted. He had other strong
influence, bat notwithstanding this it is
alleged that he had been plainly told by
the Interior Department that he would
not receive the appointment because Of
the fact that toodserious charges had been
lodged against him and found to be
true. 4a
The first intimation received here that
Golden had disappeared was through tie
inquiry sent by his business partner at
Guthrie yesterday. The day before Golden
had sent him the following telegram;
II leave here today for where l don t
knnw- / have squandered $4,000 trying
to get place and have been deceived. !
cannot face my creditors. Send my fanlily
to Omaha
No one could be found lest night who
knew where Golden had been stopping,
though many have seen him bout town fJr
several months past. He frequently called
at the interior Department the Indian OF
flee, and also at the White House, though
| when Secretary Porter was seen last night
he said that ne mad not heard OF Golden 5
disappearance. he had seen him at the
White House frequently, but did not believe
| that he ever had an interview with the
| President.
1t is believed that Golden had about
given mp hopes OF securing the agency.
though his statement that he han spent
| $4,000 Is not credited by anyone who
met him here in Washington. They do
not believe that he had that amount of
money with him or anywhere to his credit
| and certain { il that he did not spend that
amount of moneys in riotous living, was not
known as c. lavish spender and could no5
| have reasonably disposed of the money eX-
cept in reckless investments or upon the
| races, and as he was not known to iIt-
| dulge in any of these expensive Iuxuries
it is thought that the $1,000 Is wilclv
| exaggerated.
i here are also those who believe that
| Golden is stin In Washington and that
| the alleged telegram is merely ruse III
order to enable him to carry out some
| plan or scheme which he may have in
mind.
