President Mckinley made a mistake
In recommending the removal of
american citizens from Cuba. Wey-
Ter Is the fellow who ought 20 be re.
moved. He is causing whole lot
more trouble on the island than all the
American citizens.
1t Is stated that 700 Spanish army
ofhcers have died during the last year
from wounds or diseases, a majority of
them in Cuba. Their deaths, however.
are not nearly SO mucn regretted as
>the suffering they caused others dur
ing their services in the Spanish army.
In the senate yesterday the entire
time was taken up in the discussion of
Morgan's resolution to recognize the
beliigerency of Cuba, but the opposi-
tlon to the resolution succeeded in pre-
venting vote being taken by adjourn

The papers that are now asserting
that prosperity cannot be restored until
the Dingley bill becomes law, should
explain why, prior to the November
election, they promised that universal
prosperity would begin the day after
the election. if Mr.. Mckinley should
be elected. and that prosperity would
be supreme 80 soon as he took his seat
as president.
At last President Mckinley has de-
fined his position toward Cuba. 1t is
to assist all American citizens off the
Island, and then let the Cubans work
out their own salvation, gain their in
dependence if they can. This proba bly,
Is diplomacy, but it does not meet the
demands of the people at large nor is
it fulfillment of the declarations of
the platform on which he was elected.

purchasing mood right now. The ad.
vance agent of prosperity having
failed to keep all his promises, we are

lions.
Interest rates are dropping in the
East, which shows that confidence is I

that prosperity is not yet tapped. For

property of the county for the pur-
pose of defraying county expenses
for the ensuing year.
An official letter from the auditor
general was read, stating that the
amount of state taxes apportioned
to this county for the year 1897, is
50, 23O. 30, whereupon it was

LABOR UNIONS PROTEST
The Rule Against Extra Pay at the Engrav-
ing Bureau.
Assistant Secretary Vanderlip Re-
Statement OF Their Case.

A delegation from the Central Labor
Union called at the Treasury today to see
Secretary Gage relative to the recent order
OF the department against extra work and
extra compensation in the bureau of en-
craving and printing.
Assistant Secretary Vanderlip received
the committee and listened to the state
ment by President Milford spohn of the
Central Labor Union. Mr.. Spohn told
Mr.. Vanderlip that the order appeared to
be on the verge of violation of the spirit
Of the eight-hour law. He did not think
that a department of the government
ought to be the first to violate this law.
Mr.. Spohn said that the union was inter-
ested only so far as the eight-hour law was
concerned.
he thought there would be no trouble in
preventing violation of the eight-hour
law. Heretofore the bureau, he said, had
been violating other laws in paying extra
compensation for over time. His idea is to
prevent overtime in the future.
The committee submitted the following
written statement:
Hon. Lyman J. Gage, Secretary of the
Treasury.
Dear Sir: 1t has been reported to the
Central Labor Union of Washington, d. c.,
of which the undersigned is a committee,
that You have issued an order that in flu
shall not be paid the employees at the bu-
reau of engraving and printing. and what
is considered the violation of the eight
hour law by those in charge is as regarded
by organized labor of this District, as q
matter which required some action.
At the close of the foregoing statement
we're the resolutions recently adopted by
the union, and published in The Star at
the time, protesting against the bureau
en- ployes having to work over eight hours,
and urging them to orguniZe for tn cir pro-
lection.
The statement continues:
THE Central Labor Union fully appre-
ciates and directs this committee to COM
muncate this sentiment to you of the
splendid attitude which you have taken
upon this important subject. and to fur
Their respectfully urge upon you the en-
couragement of the organization of the
employees of your department, as suggested
above.
I'VE have the honor to remain yours,
very respectfully,
civilian SILVER,
