FINE EXHIBITION.

Altoona company gave a splendid
exhibition. The men marched in per-
feet order. The glad hand was very
plentiful in the grandstand. Phladel-
phia followed, but in trying to win on
the time average they showed care
lessness in form. The sword drill of
this company was excellent.
The last company was Scranton, No.
60. Our boys went through the march,
ing movements in suberb style. In
the sword exercise, however, the Scran-
ton contingent showed a deaf of awk-
wardness. Four helmets were knock
ed off.
Each company had four sets of four
or sixteen men, two guides and three
officers. They were not allowed any
music and marched by self cadence.
The drill was conducted under Carna-
hans rules for competition drills. The
contest was over before IL o'clock
noon.
At 1870 o'clock the brigade formed
for the march to the central city,
where they took their places in the
parade. When General Starbird and
staff reached camp in the early evening
the men were made acquainted with
the decision of the inspection. The
competition had been decided as fol-
lows:
Altoona company, No. 26, first prize
(s3O0): general average 81 per cent;
time Is minutes.
Scranton company, No. 60, second
prize (s150); general average 9O.6O;
time Is minutes, 80 seconds.
Philadelphia, No. 8, third prize S75);
general average, 90.37; time fourteen
minutes.

mate would be $50 including officers.
Last night in camp was passed quietly
and without event. Most of the knights
saw the Arabs parade In the central
city and some participated.
After the parade a large crowd of
persons visited the camp at Laurel Hill
Guards were stationed and an attempt
at military form made. Today there
is nothing programmed save the excur-
sion to Farview.

THE OHIO UNION.

Rev. Walter Pass in speaking for the
Ohio union, also took occasion to re-
flute the charges of lukewarmness in
the total abstinence cause on the part
Of the priests. His union has forty
two societies, with a membership of
1900.
John Delaney, of Shamokin, reported
that the Pennsylvania state union,

Archbishop Ryan for his work in the
total abstinence cause.
Rev. NJ. A. hamburg. of Scottdale,
made lengthy report for the Pittsburg
union. 1t has 3117 members and or
ganized six new societies during the

German Catholics could not be induced
to affiliate with the movement in any
great numbers, Father hamburg said
that they look upon it as an Irish
movement and feel that they would
be out of place in its ranks.
Rev. E. T. Carragan, of Providence
r. l., spoke for the Rhode Island state
union. 1t has 81 societies with a
membership of 1857, a slight decrease
as compared with last year.

pected to arrive today.
Charles NJ. Lavan, for the Scranton
union, reported membership of 6,625,
a gain of nearly 5000 since last year,

societies now, he said. than ever be-
| fore in the history of the union.
| Rev. Father Maegiliaddy, of Wor-
cester, reported that the Springfield

Government Railroads.

In Australia, on government-own-
ed railroads, you can ride distance oil
1000 miles for $3.50, first class, while
workingmen can ride six miles for 2
cents, twelve miles for cents, thirty
for l0 cents, and railroad men receive
from % to 30 per cent more wages for
eight hours of labor than they are
paid in this country for ten hours.
In Victoria, where these rates prevail,
the net income from the roads is
sufficient to pay all the federal taxes,
which is another convincing proof of
the possibility Of government without
taxation.
In Hungary, where the roads are
state owned, you can ride six miles for
| cent, and since the roads were bought
by the government the mems wages
were doubled.
Belgium tells the same story-iares
and freight rates cut down one hall
and wages doubled, yet the roads pay
yearly revenue to the government of
$4,000,000.
In the United States, under private
ownership, it is the other way. We
have paid the railroads billions in land
and money and now are paying them
millions yearly for carrying the mail,
and yet freight and passenger rates are
SO extortionate as to be almost pro-
hibitive, while wages paid railroad
employees are degrading and almost
criminal in their smallness. Surely
America has a deal to learn from its
various mother countries.
In Germany You can ride four miles
for | cent on the government-owned
lines, yet wages are over 125 per cent
higher than when the corporations
owned them, and during the past ten
years the net profits have increased Al
per cent. Last year the roads paid
the German government a net profit
of $25 100000.

Unfounded Claims.

In the course OF long article on
State politics, during which the Occur
d'Alene Press sobbed itself to sleep,
occurs this Delightfully."- refreshing
statement: 1.-THE Silver Republicans
have clear majority over either of
these two partie4," meaning of course
the Popullsts or Democrats. 1t would
be interesting to know where this ma
jority came from and how the Press
has counted the votes since last year
in view OF the election returns at that
time. The silver republicans then
cast, with the assistance of q strong
element of democrats, about 5000
votes against about 1900 for the fu-
sion ticket. II is fact beyond con,
tradiction that 1900 of those 5000
votes were cast by democrats who had
bolted from the regular organization,
leaving but 5000 genuine silver re-
publican voters. The relative strength
of the populist and democratic parties
prior to the bolt was about 5000 pop
nlists and 5000 democrats, leaving
about 5000 democrats who supported
the Peoples. Democratic ticket. II the
prediction of the Press come true, and
there is next year n Strengthening out
of party lines, it is a foregone conclu-
| sion that the democratic party would
be reunited. Basing the estimates of
proportionate strength upon the face
OF the returns of last November, it is
clear to anyone that of the four par
ties the populist is the strongest. Then
on the other hand it must be remem-
bered that there is very large woman
vote to anticipate next year, besides
all the reflections from one party to
another, by old voters, for various
causes. Taken all in all, if there
should be four parties in the field next

Man may be crushed, systems prove
failures, even nations may go down in
obscurity, bat truth is never destroyed
by the force of circumstances. The
cause of popular freedom, which tri-
umphed during the French revolution,
seemed to die away with the thunder
OF Waterloo, but the echoes OF that
fearful conflict shake every throne OF
Europe to-day, and although the
mighty champion of the people was
driven into exile and death, the pages
recording the progress Of human lib
erty are frightened and gloriied by
the name of Napoleon. The blessings
and requirements OF liberty deepen
and broaden with the expansion OF
mans intelligence, but the struggle
between the weak many and the pow
erful few is by no means ended. Our
own country at present is an oligarchy
with golden image for its head and
front. Money is our supreme ruler,
more autocratic than the Gar OF Rus
STA. We saw proof OF this year ago
when the trusts, capitalists and mo-
nopolists all combined to foist CO.
losal system of robbery upon the
masses. AS the kings of Europe, IS
years ago, joined forces to crush the
champion of the people, even SO did
our money monarchs, irrespective of
party, make common cause against
the Little Giant of the West" Money

country with orators, excursion trains
and literature, while every argument,

mind could devise was used to defeat
