What Was Done Yesterday on Wall

lions for wheat and cotton and the engage
ment of another half million of wheat from
our ports. Americans in London were at
tracing a broadening interest, London
buying and selling some $4,000 shares here.
AT the same time the continent, in moder-
ate degree, purchased Americans in Lon
don. The market was featured by violent
fluctuations in the specialties and agrees

stocks which hitherto has participated to
only slight extent in the general rise. On

Liquor Dealers Association VS.. the
Railroad

To the Editor of the Los Angeles Her.
aid: What is the object recently pro-
mulgated by the Santa Fe Railroad
company forbidding its employees to en-
ter saloons? The railroad company is
no temperance society or benevolent In
stitution. The rule is business prop
osition. The company has great inter-
ests at stake. Thousands of people ride
on its trains and an immense value of
freight is forwarded over it's roads for
the safe transit of which the company
is responsible. Every employe should
be in the full possession of his best
faculties. The managers of the road I'M
doubleday think their interests would
be safer in the hands of those whose
brains are not affected by drink. If a
man does not want liquor it is no hard
ship to keep out of saloons; and if he
is drinker no one knows just when
he may be in condition to endanger the
lives and property entrusted to his care.
Nor is 1t the concern of the railroad
company and the saloonists alone. Ev-
cry one who rides on the road must
place his life in the hands of the train
men. Who would feel as safe If he saw
the engineer or conductor come out of a
saloon when boarding train? Only
one drink might induce them to take
some risk that they would not take had
their heads been perfectly cool, and just
little too much might befog the mind
of train dispatcher so that he would.
send train to destruction.
Is not this same Liquor Dealers as
ISOLATION assuming little too much re-
sponsibility? 1t has dictated, or at
tempted to dictate, the candidates of
the great political parties and now as
sumes to say what rules the railroads
shall make for the conduct of their bust
ness.
For one, I hope the Santa Fe folks
will have backbone enough to say.
Hands off; we will manage our own
affairs"

Powderly'S Flop

To the Editor of the Los Angeles
Herald: In view of the appointment or
7. V. Powderly and the resolutions OF
the Central Labor union of New York
denouncing that appointment as the
greatest official insult ever offered by
the federal government to organized la
bor," it may not be amiss to consider
what were Mr.. Powderly's sentiments
before he fell under the influence of
Marcus Alonzo Hanna.
In September, 1893, Mr.. Powderly adj
dressed an open letter to President
Cleveland, in which he intimated that
congress, then in special session, was
confronted with an argument more
powerful than the wishes of constitu-
ents or the voice of principle" and
asked the president to recommend the
restoration of silver "to it's time honored
place in the coinage of the nation"
The following month Mr. Powderly
in the Knights of Labor magazine USED
this strong language: "There are but
two parties in the United States today,
and the quicker that fact is recognized
the better. All who stand for American
money as against the Shylocks of the
world belong to the American party.
He who would strike silver and paper
to the earth belongs to the European
party, and should be counted as such
until repentance comes"
Mr.. Powderly, then, having trans
ferred himself from the American to
the European party, according to his
own expression, became latter-day
Benedict Arnold, especially to the work
ingmen whom he formerly served.
And now since Mckinley has Opened
the mills and not the mints," while work.
ingmen have all they can do Gin keeping
the wolf from the door, and are at work
for higher wages than they would get
in absolute idleness) the erstwhile head
of the Knights of Labor is, by the grace
of Hanna and Mckinley, occupying
high office, while he merits only the es-
TEEN OF traitors and the praise of dis
honest men. VIM. F. BURBANK.
