many Of the laboring men voted with
the money manipulators They are
now reaping the reward in reduced wages
or no work. The smsn at the Wrought
Iron Bridge Company are IDLE today be-
cause they want to consider a proposition
to make cut in their wages. After all
the promises made to them theyInaturally
do not feel like accepting reduction,
especially when present wages are low
enoug gh at the best.
The out proposed is one cent per hour to
all now earning from IL to 10 cents an
hour, and 10 per cent. to all earning l6
cents or more per hour.
The men have held meeting regarding
the matter, and have sent to the company
a request that the decision to cut their
wages be reconsi iered. They are awaiting
an answer.
President Landor, Of the Bridge Com
pany, said this afternoon that he was
given to understand by the men that they
were not engaged in formal strike, but
desired to protest against the reduction
before taking further action. Mr.. Ian
dor said that the board of directors of tn,
company had cOpsid cred the request fo,
a reconsideration, but had decided tina
they would do no better than make the
reductions first proposed. The final &C

THE TRUSTS CARED FoR.

The Republican committee in the
Senate that revised the Dingley bill and
made numerous changes, took precious
good care of the trusts. Those com.
bines we're duly cared for, showing those
Senators we're resolved to see that their
millionaire friends we're not injured.
The following extracts, taken from
papers East and West, most Of them
Republican, indicate 1t is understood
where the Republican leaders in the
Senate stand with regard to the robber
trusts. These trusts are to be allowed
and given the opportunity to continue
their robberies and amass their millions
with the understanding Of course that
they will contribute literally for Repubh-
can campaigns. But read these ex-
tracts:
The advance OF SO share in sugar
trust stock on the day that the Senate
tariff bill was reported is perhaps all the
comment that it is necessary to make on
the sugar schedule of that MEASURE
Providence Journal.
The sugar schedule has been rewritten
and the duty made partly specific and
partly ad valorem. This is in the inter
est of the trust, which will be much bet
ter pleased with the amendment than
with the bill as it passed the house,
Chicago Tribune.
After the Republicans have often ex-
posed the concealed differential' in
the ad valorem sugar duties Of the Will
son act, it certainly seems as ii they
might have steered clear of the same
shallow humbug in their own bill.-
Pittsburg Dispatch.
The two most striking features of the
Senate tariff bill are the complete surren'
der to the organized trusts and the
admission that the tariff proposed by
Dingley would not yield the additional
revenue that is the only excuse fol
changing the tariff at all.-Philadelphit
Times.
Now comes the Senate committee will
a sugar schedule that not only Demo
cratic tariff reformers and Independents
but stalwart Republicans whose proteC
ton orthodoxy is above suspicion, fee
constrained to denounce as an abomina
ton and outrageous surrender TO tn
trust.-Chicago Post.
The spectacle of trust thus dominat
ing the Congress of the United State
must exert tremendous reaction upo
the masses and in a single month mus
do more to foster the socialistic spiri
than all the platform propagandists an
fashionable preachers could effect in
century.-New York Herald.

A Fick1e Monarch.

The fcklesness of mOnarchs is pro-
verbal, and is well illustrated by the
movements of the King of Siam in Scot
land. AS originally arranged, the visit
was to last a week, Edinburgh and
Glasgow sharing alike in the honor of
the kingly presence. First, the Glas-
gov visit was deferred, and then abso-
lutely abandoned, while the visit to the
Scottish Capital was restricted to a
couple Of days. Glasgow is feeling
nightly sore over this curt treatment,
but even some of the Kings Edinburgh
entertainers have reason for some
heartburnings.
The royal programme on Wednesday
included a visit to Edinburgh Castle,
which contained the jeweled regalia
worn by the Kings and Queens of Scot
land. When the party drove up to the
castle gates the King changed his mind,
evidently presumingi it's treasuer to be an
insignificant article alongside some of
his own costly jewels at home. At the
Forth Bridge the resident engineer was
about to give an explanation of the prin-
ciple of construction and expansion of
the bridge, when the King interrupted
him with the remark It's too wet,
and re-entered the train.-W Westminster

Cats and Swallows.

Some of your readers may be inter-
ested in this incident, which happened
recently: We took our two cats into a
field above our garden one evening; a
door led from the dogs. There were
a great many swallows flying about,
suppose young birds and their parents.
Suddenly, one flew down close to the
older cat and screamed at it, flying as
suddenly away again. The old cat did
not like this, and made a few steps to-
wards the door, which was some way
off. Down came the bird again and
inches of the cats face. This was too
much, and the cat flew to the door and
sat there, much agitated, when down
swoOped the bird again close, and yelled
again at the cat, and over the cat went
into the garden. We were left laugh
ing and wondering, and the other cat,
much interested, when down came the
swallow again and gave the scream as
before into the cats face. This cat
put out her paw and then fed over the
door into the garden with no hesita-
tiOn, and the swallows were left in pos
session of the field. We tried the next
evening to induce one Of the cats to
follow us into that field, but she re-
fused; she evidently thought it too un-
canny.-Letter in London Spectator
