WORK FOR ALL WORKERS.

The New York Sun, which shines for
all with rays of pure democracy. has a
long article under the above heading,
the first paragraph of which we quote
below. All this within stones throw
of Wall street!
Here is cold fact. There are fewer
idle w0rkiugmen in the city today
than there have been at any time in
past years. There Is more work 10 dc
everywhere. This applies not only to
the trades which employ skilled LABOR,
but to all the enterprises where labor
of any sort is required. There are 10.
day fewer idle day laborers than a,
almost any time in the history of the
city.

1t is limited darkly that there are
other stables to be cleaned in the state,
and they do not have republican
hostlers either. The railroad CON-
missions and the oil inspectors &C.

tainly, let's have rigid investigation,
but let it not be confined to any one
office or set Of Offices. Let it be wide

THE PLATFORM
upea Which Judge Jones Seeks Re-
election.

Z a.t
The general rise in the prices Of all
agricultural products concurrently with
. continued fall in the price of silver,
the reopening of mills and factories in
oil parts Of the land, the great increase
Of business as shown in the largely
augmented bank clearances, have DEM
oustrated the truth OF the claim ad-
vanced by the republicans last fall that
tho return Of the republican party to
power would be followed BY general
prosperity.
The republicans Of the Second judicial
circuit therefore cordially invite all
those who were last year led away by
the free silver cry to return to the
party whose watch word 10 not calamity
but prosperity, whose holding Of power
has always been coincident with good
times, progress, commercial and in.
dustrial expansion Of the nation, whose
policy has always been to protect and
sxAlt the American workingman and
= secure for the American producer
wider markets and better prices.
With pride We call attention to the
energy and ability with which the re-
publican congress has enacted q bill to
restore the industrials struck down by
democratic free trade, and the Ameri-
cAnism with which the administration
Of william Mckinley has solved diff
cult problems At home and asserted the
rights OF our countrymen abroad.
Holding that the rise and growth OF
trusts constitute serious menace to all
Of our people we denounce the action
Of the democratic cabal in the United
States which by threats Of obstruction
prevented the enactment Of an efficient
antitrust law at the recent session,
We heartily endorse the Thurston anti.
trust law now pending and pledge the
republican party 10 meet and destroy
this evil.
Believing that the great Transports.
tion companies doing business in this
state have for years practiced severe
determinations against our people
greatly restricting the profits of GU,
farmers and retarding the growth o
our cities, knowing that all efforts t
secure concessions have failed, and re
lying on the principle established BY
twenty-five years of legal decisions
that the state is clothed with full
power to regulate and control common
carriers, we heartily endorse the actor
Of every republican senator and mem
Der OF the legislature. who, fOllowin,
the mandate Of the Aberdeen conven
ton, advocated and voted for tn
passage Of the Iowa railroad law. W.
unanimously and emphatically pledg
the republicans OF this circuit 10 sur
port the enforcement of that law an,
70 use oil OF their power to secure suc1
amendments ~ may be necessary +
I ensure its success.

This is the ''o6 year" in politics, but
much depends on the of year. It takes

1t has now been demonstrated that this
sort of talk indulged in by the Cleveland
people was the merest humbug. Spain. al

are not bounded any longer. nor do they

Spain's attitude toward this country, in

this government would result in good to

Passing of the Herdics.

The winding up of the affairs of the her
die company removes. at least temporarily.
n reminder of old times from the streets
of Washington. These heavy. uncomfopt-
able vehicles are relics of the past. out of
harmcEy with the present developments
in the line of urban transit methods and
outstripped in the race for favor and pa
tronage. For months they have been
profitable only by reason of a reduction OF
the fare. but even this device could not
stem the tide of travel toward the cable
and electric cars. The people have grown
accustomed to being rushed along; they
have been spoiled. so to speak, by the
hurry of ten and twelve-mile rates of
speed. saving their precious time and thus
adding to their opportunities for business.
Slow coaches have fallen into disfavor anu
even the saving of one and sixth cents
per trip that they afforded could not re-
store them to grace. Their going opens
the way to a new industry that ought to
thrive In such city as Washington. The
Star has already suggested that the smooth
streets here would furnish ideal running
for motor carriages and 'busses such as
are now in vogue in London and Paris
Since that mention Of the possibilities 1t
has been announced that a number of mo-
tor cabs. fashioned like hansOms have
been rut in service In New York city
and have begun by attracting considerable
patronage. New YOrk's street surfaces.

Is fair to presume that the success
achieved in the metropolis in such an en-
terprise could. in due proportion. be far
exceeded here. The advantages of the mo-
tor wagons. cabs and carry-alls are OBJ
vious. In addition to being swift they are
practically noiseless. they are more con-
ducive to the comfort of the passengers
and they do not wear the street surfaces
nearly as badly as do the numbering
coaches that have just ceased to run. This
last element should appeal to the taxpay-
ers If the old basis on which the herdics
were permitted to run were maintained I'm
the event of their revival. This item has
been pointedly mentioned Of late. and the
Commissioners have been urged to ask
Congress for the right to tax the omnibus
lines with at least half the cost of repair
ing the surfaces Of streets occupied by
them in their routes. The matter should
be borEe in mind in regulating any sue
cessor to the retiring company that might
