The way of the laboreris hard in Mexico
at this time. 1t appears that it now takes
nearly two and half Mexican dollars to
purchase what one American dollar will
command. The following list of wages
paid to the various crafts in Mexico as
compared with their brethren in this
country is taken from the report of a
commission sent to Mexico last fall by the
Trade and Labor Assembly of Chicago,
and shows clearly what must be the con-
dition of workmen who are paid in de-
preciated currency and one which is con-
tinually further depreciating. Street car
drivers according to the report, receive in
Mexico Is cents per day in Mexican silver
while those in Chicago receive 81 % in
good money. Transfers get 81 day in
Mexico in cheap silver, but SID in
Chicago in American dollars, worth nearly
two and half times as much as Mexican
dollars. Printers in Mexico get .25 per
day, but in Chicago 50 per day Of money
worth two and a half times as much
Bricklayers in Mexico receive 81. 25 per day

The Seventh Maine Reunion.

The survivors of the It'll Maine Regi-
ment held their annual re union Oh Long
Island, Portland harbor, Aug. 18th.
The following officers were elected:
President, James II. Cross, Calais.
Vice Presidents, George r. Boyer,
Somerville. Mass. James H. Syphers, NJ.
D., South Portland.
Secretary and Treasurer, w. D. Hatch,
Portland.
Quartermaster George F. Hunt, West

Surgeon, W. W. Denning Poland.
Chaplain, Willis McGlautlin, Portland.
Marshal, John Mullen, Portland.
Poet and Historian, w. d. Hatch, Port
land.
When the comrades gathered at the
tables, and before partaking of the dinner,
the following reunion song, written by
the secretary, W. D. Hatch, was sung by
the company to the tune of "Swanee
River
In camp to-day we gladly muster here by
the sea,
Joyfuly now we hail old comrades what
e'er their station be,
No rolling drums the long roll beating call
us to arms,
Nor warlike tanes of brazen trump cts ring
out their wild alarms.
Chorus From this camp of war worn vet
Grams,
Loyal hearts and true,
We send comrades hearty
greeting,
To all who wore the blue
Many long and weary years have vanished
since first met,
We marched ay in our youn & manhood,
to-day we meet as vets.
Though years with all their vare q changes
have rolled around,
Still by the silver cord Of frien dship our
loyal hearts are bound.-Cho.
Faces and scenes almost forgotten come
back to view:
The camp, the march, the line of battle form
ed by the boys in blue;
The charge, the fight, the field of carnage
where brave men lay,
Back to our memory swiftly rushes on this
reunion day.-Cho.
Through clouds and storms that darkly
gather Ger life's rough way,
We've scaled the hill of life together, in
camp We'll rest to-day.
Far, far beyond the fog and shadows com
rades have passed,
Well meet them in the great encampment,
all gathered home at last
Chorus There shall trouble, care, nor
sorrow
Grieve our hearts no more.
Soon, soon, We'll one and all
be mustered
Safe on the homeland shore.

The Liquor Business In Politics.

The liquor business, says Hon. Theodore
Roosevelt in the September Atlantic, does
not stand on the same footing with other
occupations. 1t always tends to produce
criminality in the population at large, and
law breaking among the saloon keepers
themselves. 1t is absolutely necessary to
supervise it rigidly, and to impose restric-
lions upon the traffic. In large cities the
traffic cannot be stopped, but the evils can
at least be minimized. In New York, the
saloon keepers have always stood high
among professional politicians. Nearly
two-thirds of the political leaders of Tam
many Hall have been in the liquor business
at one time or another. The saloon is the
natural club and meeting place for the
ward heelers and leaders, and the bar room
politician is one of the most common and
best recognized factors in local govern
ment. The saloon keepers are always
hand in glove with the professional poll
ticians, and occupy toward them such a
position as is not held by any other class
of men, The influence they WELD in To-
cal politics has always been great, and I'M
til our board took Office no man ever dared
seriously to threaten them for their fla
grant violation of the law. The powerful
and influential saloon keeper was glad to
see the shops o. his neighbors closed, for
it gave him business On the other ha nd,
corrupt police captain, or the corrupt
politician who controlled him. could al
ways extort money from saloon keeper
by threatening to close his place and let his
neighbor's remain open.

of Cayuga lake, which is about 40 miles
long. In approaching the town one Of

this fact has given rise to an amusing
story.

caught sight of the city set on hill in

Ithaca" the other responded. In q
few moments the city disappeared from
view and after awhile appeared again,
but, as it seemed to the stranger, in q
different direction, the railroad having
made curve.
"What city is that?" he asked again
''That is Ithaca"
Once more the place disappeared and
in due time came into view again, ap.
parently somewhere else.

A Tower Two Thousand Feet High.

William J. Frye, an architect of New
York city, has drawn plans for a tower
to commemorate the consolidation of
Greater New York. The proposed tower
is to be 2, l40 feet in height, in all re-
spects the most wonderful structure in
the world. The Eiffel tower in Paris is
9s4 feet high, nearly half that of the
proposed observatory tower for New
York
The tower is to be twelve sided and
built of steel. The lowest portion will
be 300 feet in diameter and will be
fanked by four pavilion buildings, Civ.
ing the structure a base of 400 feet.
The outer walls will be Of cement and
wirecloth. Internally the tower will
be labyrinth of steel columns, grid
ers, beams, plates and other shapes in
steel, no particle Of wood being used in
construction or finish.
Electric cars, with reserved motor
power Of compressed air, will run spi-
rally around the 100 foot central area,
making trip to the fifth floor from the
top about a az mile ride.-Golden
