WE find the new charter provides that
eight hours shall constitute a full days
strictly In line with advanced ideas of how
labor should be treated. The U. S. Gov
ernment Will not allow Its employees to
work longer than eight hours. Why should
the city of Wilmington require more?
Labor is restless and suffering under the
cruel exactions of corporations, and unless
something DO done for its relief, SERIOUS
trouble may result The number of per
sons classed as laborers is multiplying,
and unless work can be found for oil, dis
tress among the masses cannot be relieved
Shorten the hours of each mans day and
more can be engaged, 1t Is not unreason-
able for the laborer to expect this when
he sees the office holders getting high sal
aries and, in too many instances, leaving
the ACTUAL work Of their positions to be
done by subordlnates

The new charter contemplates partial

to have been written with the idea that the
people, after all, are entitled to some say
in the management of their own affairs.
OUR municipal commissioners seemed
to have planned with view to an aggre.
gate reduction of the cost of official and
clerical service to the city. The whole
amount of salaries to be paid under the
new charter will be much less than is now
paid, even with $2400 given to tho Mayor,
to which we object. Let the Mayors

M'KINLEY AND IRELAND.

A strange rumor is going around re-
garding President-elect Mckinley and
Archbishop Ireland, of St Paul II is
to the effect that his grace was invited
to visit Canton. 1t is said that he
answered while he appreciated the
honor of the invitation, he thought
visit on his part might be mlscon-
strued by the public at large and oc-
casion comment not pleasant. 1t is
said that he suggested a meeting
on neutral ground, so to speak, and
that he met the president-elect in Chi
cago. The exchange from which this
story is taken goes on to say that the
archbishop was thanked for his serv-
ices in the past for the Republican
party and especially for the stand he
took in the last campaign, both at
the time of the national convention
and subsequently during the critical
stages of the canvass. He was asked
if there was any suggestion he would
like to make regarding the selection
of the cabinet. The answer was that
he expected and personally would ask
for no recognition on account of any
thing he had done during the cam
paign He had acted for principle and
not for reward. However, as the sub
ject had this been brought up he re-
quested that in the forming of the
cabinet the selection of the secretary
of the interior would be man who
would not repeat the programme that
brought about the Dorchester and
Morgan episode of the Harrison re-
gime He dwelt at some length on the
treatment of the Catholic Indian
schools and missions by the govern
ment officials, and commended the
schools to the care of Mr.. Mckinley in
his cabinet making.
1t is more than likely that there is
absolutely nothing in all this rumor
If Major Mckinley chose to consult
with Archbishop Ireland or any one
else regarding the formation of his
cabinet, it was certainly his right to
do so. That he would ask so promin-
ent Catholic dignitary as Archbishop
Ireland to visit Canton on a political
mission is most improbable; that hav-
ing invited him there he would consent
to meet the archbishop at a place where
the meeting would cause no comment,
is not to be believed. To do so would
be an irretrievable political blunder.
The whole story is improbable. Why
should Major Mckinley wish to spec
tally thank high Catholic dignitary
for what he did in the campaign unless
it were to express gratitude for the at
least partial influence of the most
powerful church in the United States?
AS a good Methodist he would not do
this: as the president-elect' of the
United States he could not do this.

A CURRENCY CONFESSION.

A Washington dispatch to the st.
Louis GIobe-Democrat outlines what
purports to be President-elect McKin-
ley's financial policy. A congressman
who was recently at Canton is given
as authority for the statements re-
garding the financial policy of the in
coming administration.
Major Mckinley will make known his
views in regard to the currency in the
message that he will send in to con-
gress in extra session. This message
will propose to congress the appoint
ment of a joint commission of sena-
tors and representatives to make and
report on a new currency system. The
scope of the inquiry to which the COM
mission should confine itself will be
outlined in the message. 1t is stated
that the president-elect will expressly
exempt the question of bimetallism.
and will state that he considers that
a matter for internatio considera-
ton and agreement. The dispatch
further states that the commission
will be expected to give special study
to a plan whereby the process of draw
ing gold out of the treasury may be
stopped without too great contraction
of the currency The commission will
tional banking system may be extend
ed and improved in a way to permit
the government to retire from the issu-
ing of notes.
If Major Mckinley really has the in
tention to recommend the appoint
ment of a currency commission it will
make the financial question the lead
ing issue of his administration. What
such a commission would recommend
it is impossible to say, but it is alto
gether probable that the members, or
at least the majority of them, would
be in harmony with the presidents
views. The plan is a plan for the re-
tirement of the greenbacks and moth
ing else That they should be retired
there is no question; that they will be
is by no means certain. The Republic
an party worships the greenbacks as a
fetch, and any plan for their retire
ment is bound to meet with much OPP
position from it.
What is said about bimetallism
shows that silver is not to be consid-
cred as a possibility as an aid in solv-
ing the currency problem, except
through international agreement. This
is in strict conformity with the st.
Louis platform. The plan is interest
ing and evinces a desire to deal with
the foremost issue before the American
people. 1t is to be hoped that the APP
pointment of a currency commission
will be recommended and that the
recommendation will be adopted.

AMERICA IN THE WORLDS
MARKETS.

The breaking up of the steel. pool
makes prominent the fact that the
United States are the first producers
of steel rails in the world. and that the
rail manufacturers of this country are
going to enter the markets of the world
against all corners. Already they have
shown their ability to do this when they
choose. 1t was only on small scale
they did il. but they did it Their
only possible competitors are England
and Germany, but it is very doubtful
if it is possible for them to compete
with the Americans. The Carnegie
Rockefeller alliance, with its unparal-
leled financial resources, is one that it
would be almost impossible to surpass.
Rockefellers iron mines and Carne-
gie's mills give this combination an
advantage that cannot be eoualled
anywhere. Where but in the Mesaba
mines can the ore be scooped up with
out mining? Where are such facilities
for converting this ore into steel rails
as at Carnegie's mills? The conjunc-
ton of these two interests is the unit
ing of the most prodigal gifts of nature
with the highest skill in manufac-
lures.
A year ago the Carnegie works were
able to outbid all the world on con-
tract TO furnish the Russian govern
ment with armor plates for it's battle
ships. OF course, this armor plate was
furnished at very much lower figure
than to the American government, the
sorry explanation of this fact being
given, if we remember rightly, that it
was an overproduction. But nobody ac-
cepted the explanation; it was rather
thought that Uncle Sam was charged
an over price. At last Uncle Sam him
self has come to this conclusion. Russia
got the benefit of free competition;
Uncle Sam got the benefit of protec-
ton.
All this should make it plain to the
dullest mind that the great growth
ural resources and native genius. The
country has reached that stage in its
development when foreign markets are
an absolute necessity to it, and If they
are not had its further development
will be relatively retarded. 1t is al
ready impossible for it to utilize all
its own productions to advantage, ex-
cept through trade and commerce. And
now it is threatened with a tariff law
that will curtail trade and commerce
by forbidding foreigners to trade with
US. The excuse for this proposed tariff
legislation is the need of more revenue
for the government. That the revenue
is needed no one denies, but it would
be an eas-- matter to raise it by other
and better means than a high tariff.
The expanding trade of the country
will rebel against a tariff that would
curtail IL Were American products
that are bought by foreigners all paid
for in cash, a high or a low tariff would
be a matter of Indifference, so far as
our foreign trade is concerned. but
they are not. Foreign trade is chiefly
an exchange of products, and the ex-
change should be encouraged.

woman living who was present at one of
the historic events of this country-the
formal notification of President Lincoln
that he had been renominated TO the
presidency of the United States
Mr.. Lincoln was renominated for a sec

most enthusiastic demonstrations in
Front Street theatre, Baltimore, on June
s, 1864 by the Union national convention,
which had assembled on the 9TH. and
which had on the Sth completed It's work
by naming Andrew Johnson for the sec
ond place on the ticket.
A committee TO notify President Lincoln
was made up and went over to Washing

ladies-Mrs. Robert Cathcart. of Balti-
more. and Mrs. Halstead. of Washington,

pleasure of their presence at the cere-

commune and the pestilence; glad TO
find that Americans are still willing
to earn their own livelihood instead of
seeking it through the agency OF the
dagger and the torch.
If DR.. Rainsford had not become un-
duly excited and almost had a fit over
the idea of the ball, thow deeply in
terested he must have been in the ac-
counts of it,, it would have passed off
without comment, the same as any
other affair of the kind. But he did
get excited and indignant and denun-
ciatory, and the result was that he
succeeded in stirring UP the people
almost as much as the Venezuelan
message or the Cuban resolutions did.
The affair is over now, and the regret
most people feel about it is that they
were not so fortunate as to be there.
