Special Council rleeting.

The city council held an ad-
journed session, Friday even
ing of last week. A lot of mis-
cellaneous matters were con-
sidered, the time of the city
fathers being mainly taken up
with the reservoir contract and
the pumP-house investigating
committees report.
In the matter of the reser-
voir contract, Contractor Nc
Donald said he would give a
bond to put up the structure Of
granite, obtained within the
city limits, and that it would
be built in good shape. The
bid for granite with sandstone
coping.is is $2,070 in excess of the
lowest bid for sandstone. The
matter was finally referred to.
the board of public works, with.
instructions to outline the.
bond that the contractors
would be asked to sign.
The pump-house matter
aroused none of the excitement.
heretofore attending that con-.
troversy. The first recom-5
mendation from the committee,
that Mr.. Frederickson's con-
tract be repudiated, but that he
be given the option of finish
ing the building at the figures
formerly approved by the coun-
Gil, $22,15250, was adopted.
The second recommendation
was somewhat modified. In
the first place, Mr.. Flood was
exonerated for the reason that
he had not assumed the du-.
ties of his office until after the
approval of the original con-.
tract by the council, and had
not yet had opportunity to be-
come familiar with the state of
affairs. In the second place;
instead of impeaching the
other members of the board
and summoning them for trial,
the report simply requests the
resignation of Messrs. Wilson
and Smith. On a ro1l-call to
adopt the latter recommends
ton, the vote was as follows:
Yeas-Aldermen Burg Grass
weller, Dahl, Harker, Shannon,
Simpson, 'Trevillion, Cochran
and Rowley.
Nays-Aldermen Duren,
Richardson, Sang and Fischer.

OLD GLORY.

OLD GLORY.
The following from a Chicago
newspaper editorial is a charac-
teristic sample of the slush on
which the American people are
fed:
Yes, run. up "Old Glory on
flag day. Let it wave from
shop and hilltop, from pole and
mountain peak; from cottage
and mansion, from the log
school house on the frontier and
the greatest college; on boat and
train, office and store. It is a
Matchmaker, beautiful to look
upon, inspiring to read and
think about-the flag of the
free emblem of the worlds
best governmelt,-a govern
ment worth million times
more than it has cost in blood,
tears and treasure-a flag that
means more to humanity and
civilization than any other that
ever before danced in the sun
light, or that men have died for;
Washington and Lincoln's flag
the loved flag of over seventy
million of people.
I can write that kind of stuff
myself.
Yes, run up "Old Glory" on
flag day; let it wave from pawn
shop and free soup-house, from
charity hospital and tenement
row. Raise the stars and
stripes over every busted bank
and closed factory. Float it to
the breeze from every ruined
store and mortgaged home.
Let the grand army of the f.,
900, 900 of unemployed fall in
line and cheer the. emblem of the
worlds best government. What
is a job as compared to the glori-
Gus emblem of the free? Fling to
the breeze the flag from the win
dows of every sweatshop, place
1T in the hands of everv child
slave, float it over the graves of
those who have starved for
want OF work; Rockefeller and
Pullman's flag, Russell Sage and
Yerkes' flag, J. Pierpont Morgan
and Heidelbach, Ickleheimer &
Co.'S flag, the Sugar Trust and
Steel Combines fag-the loved
flag of every man whose hand is
in the pockets Of the people.
1t is fitting that flag day
should be championed by the
Sons and Daughters of the Rev
olution, an organization which
recentlv refused to accept into
membership a descendant of
Benjamin Franklin, on the
ground that "Franklin was not
a gentleman"
The American Flag-speaking
of it as a glorious ideality, the
emblem of the hope and faith of
American citizenship-is in the
international pawnshop. The
article manufactured by the
bunting trust is mainly used
nowadays as a cloak to some
meditated villainy. Beware of
the man "who waves the flag
with one hand and plumbers
the pockets of the people with
the other" His patriotism is of
the brand so we'll defined by DR..
Samuel Johnson when he said,
"Patriotism is the last refuge of
scoundrel.' .'-Fredrick Upham
Adams in The New Time.

Conservative Labor Leaders Wish
the Social Democracy Left
Handed GOd-Speeds.
Reason Why Something rlore
Radical Than Trades Union
ism Is Needed.

The Federationist for July
says in discussing the purpose
= of the Social Democracy of
America.
ELSEWHERE we have said of
this movement that no scheme
is so alluring or justified as one
which promises or really seeks
to find employment for the
myriads of men and women
walking the streets of our
cities and country roads vainly
looking for an opportunity to
earn their bread by the sweat
of their brow; no cause so
thoroughly appeals to the SYM
pathies of thinkers and work
ers; none is more highly COM
mendable. Hence, so far as
the desire of any one to find
work for the host of workless
workers is concerned, that is
highly commendable. But de-
sires and sympathies are en-
tirely different to actual
achievements and successes.
"In the history of our indus
trial development there have
been many periods of panic
and crisis. Each one of
them has brought with it
scheme similar, or very nearly
similar, to the one just
launched. Universal and VOL
untary cooperation is perhaps
the ideal life to which all re-
formers and svmpathizers bend
their effort. Colonization with
that object in view has been
dertaken time and again,
invariably with the same
ult-defeat, hopes deferred,
>irations destroyed and cour-
frozen.
All honor to men who seek
way OUT but after the
usions have been dispelled
1dthe effervescence of passing
thusiasts have subsidized, the
ade unions will still be found
lttling and struggling as op-
rtunities afford to attain the
:ht."
There seems to be an i'm
ession among some trade
;onists that the Social De-
ocracy is an antagonistic
ovement. Why, we cannot
1gine. The colonization
.eme, if carried out, will
e out of the market a large
t of tie surplus labor now
apeting for work. If it
.es men with jobs their
.ces will be filled by fellow
ionists now idle. In either
mt the immediate effect will
to case up on the demand
work. AS trade unionists,
now, what better result could
be desired than the diminish
ing of the pressure of competi-
ton for work-a decrease in
the number of men after the
few existing jobs?

The profound solicitude with
which some of the labor au-
thorities prophesy disaster is
creditable neither to their
good faith nor charity. If
these men are unalterably con-
vinced that the Social De-
mocracy is headed for certain
ruin they ought not to stop
with their pious head-shaking,
but should plunge into the
stream and divert US from our
suicidal purpose. If they think
we deserve to perish let them
throw aside their mock solem-
'ty and rejoice at the pro-
,ective riddance of the world
80 many insufferable cranks.
The fact is that some of the
,ng-headed, but ultra-con-
,rvative leaders would be only
10 glad to be where Eugene

we'll know that the trades
union plan of battle is fitted
only for defensive purposes;
and that economic victory can
never be attained through de-
fensive methods. It is readily
admitted that trades unionism
is growing; but so also is
wealth concentrating and plu-
tocracy growing. And the lat
ter much the faster. There is
not an honest al nd well-intormed
trades unionist in the country
that does not face the future
with more concern in the secret
recesses of his heart than ever
in his life before. In so far as
trades unionism has held up
the toiler and given him a
smattering of economic educa-
ton, it has been a blessing to
the race; but as to strength in
it's methods, we have had
abundant evidence to show
that it requires only a square
drawing Of issues and massing
of forces for capital to crush its
organic structure like an egg
shell under trip hammer.
The Social Democracy is, in
fact, the outgrowth of trades
union teachings. But the pu-
pill dares to go further; he has
the courage of his convictions,
which his pedantic master
lacks. And while those engag-
ing in this experiment may
possibly fail, they at least
stand a chance to win final
victory, which to those lett be-
hind is impossible.
Force can be met only by
force. Capitalization only by
Capitalization. Wealth is con-
centrated. Would labor sue
cessfully defend it's rights
against capital? Then let labor
concentrate. Napoleon won his
victories by massing his
strength and hurling it against
that single point which he con
sidered the weakest in his op-
ponent's line. There came a
time, however, whether by
chance or otherwise, whenthat
which he judged to be his OPP
ponent's weakest, proved to be
stronger than his. strongest,
and Napoleon died in exile.
If the Social Democracy, can
build up a combination of toll
ers intrenched by such natural
advantages, and inspired by
such principles that the strong
est combination of greed and
capital is powerless to affect it,
then it will solve. the labor
problem to the advantage of
toilers everywhere. What
prospect has trades unionism
of accomplishing such a re-
suit?
In the meantime why should
there be any but the most cor.
dialrelations between the Social
Democracy and trades union
ism? Neither invades the field
or claims the prerogatives of
the other. The migration of
radicals to the new land of
Canaan will leave pure and
trades unionism undisputed op-
portunity to work out the saliva
ton of the toiling millions ac-
cording to it's most approved
and conservative prescription.
If the Social Democracy fails
then can pure trades unionism
exult in its far-sightedness,
and rejoice and prosper in the
consequent reaction to more
conservative methods. If the
colonization experiment wins,
then will there be the contrast
between the prosperous toilers
of the new Utopia and the
downtrodden victims of east
ern sweatshops, to spur the
Iot+or IN tO renewed effOrfS

Whether in the form of pill powder
or liquid, the DOCTORS prescription for
blood diseases is always the same
mercury or potash. These drugs bottle
up the poison and dry it up in the
system, but they also dry up the marrow
in the bones at the same time.
The suppleness and elasticity OF the
joints give way TO stiffness, the rack
ing pains OF rheumatism. The form
gradually bends, the bones ache, while
decrepitude and helplessness prema-
turely take possession OF the body, and
