NEVER DECEIVE THEM &.

In his address to the New Orleans
Press Club. Cardinal Gibbons express
ed the following sentiments, which
should be read and considered by every
person in public life:

be frank with the reporter. It has been
my privilege and pleasure to come in
contact with and to know a great num-
Der Of reporters. l have steadfastly
adopted a policy of absolute frankness
with them, and have yet to have a
cunfdence betrayed. They have never
proven themselves unworthy of the es-
, innate l placed on them as gentlemen.
II Is the public man who concealS.
whose very act OF concealment is per-
ceiyed by the reporters, (for in the
very nature of their business they must
be quick to perceive), It is this very
concealment which induces the re-
porter to further conduct his investi-
cations and often to get wrong what,
had he been in the confidence OF the
man whose manner provoked investi-
cation, he would have understood and
written intelligently about And it Is
in this very manner that much OF the
complaint against the reporter origi-
mates. Tell the reporters the absolute
truth. Never deceive them"

PROSPERITY BUBBLE BURSTS.

A sensational article possesses some
merit II it embraces within itself the
elements Of truth; but, if
devoid of truth, It is doubly
injurious because it misleads and de-
ceives the reading public and RODS the
newspaper Of that public confidence
which every reputable journal should
seek to possess.
We should be pleased to know that
a large shipyard is to be established al
Edge Moor II would materially ad-
vance the business OF our city, but
when the very men who are credited
with being behind the movement de-
clare that they know absolutely moth
ing about it and have no such purpose
in eontemplation,w we must conclude that
the newspapers which published stories
which are denied in their entirety
were the victim Of fakirs.

I'M No sENsE DEMOCRATIC.

Singlm Takers are Single Takers.
They have their own organization,
their own party name and device, and
do not profess to be Democrats. In
fact, apart from two or three men on
the Democratic ticket, they did their
utmost, in the Fall OF 1896, to bring de-
feat to the Democratic party They
threatened, they abused, they prophe-
sled, but failed to accomplish their
purpose. Wherever they appear In
Democratic councils their purpose Is to
produce contention and disruption.
Chairman McVey, OF the Seventh ward,
was fully justified in refusing to rec
ognize them as Democrats. So long as
they adhere to the Single Tax organi-
zation they are Single Takers. II, see
ing the hopeless state OF disintegration
into which the Single Tax organization
has fallen, they desire to forsake it

him let my poor rat 90 free"
The stern guards we're moved
to pity. They had never seen this
man subdued before. Every trace
OF fierceness was gone. Instead Of
hurting the rat they let it drop to
the floor and disappear. Then the
man rose and went TO his work.
The light had all gone from his
face. His pet was lost to him.
A few days passed. and then,
while the convIcts were at work
in the yard, moving wood. the
prisoner Jose felt somethingtickle
his cheek. He turned quickly
and uttered a cry of joy. There,
on his shoulder, was the only
friend he had in the world, his
rat. which had found him and
come creeping up to his face.
With eager hands he put it in
his breast as before. and turning
to the head .~jailer, said. "Sir, if
you will only let me keep this rat
| solemnly promise to submit to
You in every way. and never to
disobey YOU again"
The permission was given, and
the man, with a glad smile, re-
turned to his work. From that
day the dreaded convict was a
new beng. He became the best
conducted man in the PRISON. and

The rat was seldom away from
him, It shared his meals and slept
in his bed, and the mans spare
time was spent IN making little
toys of bone which he sold in
order TO buy dainties such as
sugar aud gingerbread for his pet.

Something to Love.

A French convict. under sem

prisoner. At times he was VERY
violent, and IN the intervals of
his violence he became so sulI, n
that the wardens were always on
the lookout for trouble.
One day they saw a change in
mans face. Its sullenness had
disappeared. The prisoner looked
almost happy. The ghost Of a
smile lowered about his lips. His
eyes now and again turned down
ward, and it became evident that
something was hidden in his
breast.
The wardens were uneasy. Had
he some weapon concealed be-
meath his clothing with which he
would seek to surprise them and
regain his liberty! They must
find out.
They watched their opportunity
and suddenly fell upon him from
behind, each Selling an arm.
Then they began to search him.
They found that for which they

Drinking Men not Wanted.

"A circular, containing several
inquiries, was sent out by the
United States commissioner Of
labor several months ago to per-
sons and companies employing a
large number of men. The OBJ
ject of the Investigation thus in
stituted was to ascertain some-
thing about thu relations of the
drink habit to labor. Over 1000
establishments, which employ
nearly 100000 men, replied.
The answers have almost the sig
nificance Of a census, therefore,
Commissioners Wright has Just
published a summary of them.
Out of 6.976 employers, 1858
said that they were accustomed
to consider whether a person was
in the habit Of drinking when
they we're asked to give any sort
of a place. The employers who
did not take this matter into con-
slderatlon numbered 1913. The
industries represented in this re-
port were agriculture, manufac-
lures, mining and qu%arrying trade
and transportation. The largest
percentage of employers who in
CURED about drinking was among
these engaged IL trade and trans
portation.
The means used to find out
about an applicants habits were
usually direct inquiry reputation,
and personal appearance. The
reasons assigned for taking a
mans habits into consider alton
were to guard against accidents"
because Of responsibility Of po-
sitiOn" and ''because Of unrelia-
bility Of drinking men," Dishon-
esty. abuse of ANIMALS, the en-
ployer's disgust for drinking men,
and the importance of example
to other employees we're also
urged in explanation Of the prac-
tice.

AS TO THE PEACE COMMITS.
SION.
Why the Administration Mt
Washington Feels no Appre.
henSiOn as to tho Final
misunderstanding
ton is Firm.

Bliss were not present at to-day's
cabinet meeting. The meeting
occupied less time than usual, and
at Its conclusion it was said that
nothing of special Importance
was under discussion. Admins
,tration officials do not share the
opinion expressed in some quar-
tiers that the Paris peace commits
sion will fail in It's efforts to
agree upon a treaty. This opinion
is not based upon any specific in
formation received from Paris,
but rather upon the fact that by
withdrawing from the conference,
Spain has nothing to gain and all
to lose. 1t is undoubtedly true
that should the S%paniards adopt
this curse they would sacrifice
the indemnity this government
Is now disposed to grant. The
United States undoubtedly would
Immediately take forcible pos
session of the entire Philippine
group and at once enter upon a
military and naval campaign.
which would end only upon an
unconditional surrender of what
eve territory tins government
might see fit to demand. 1t is be-
!ieved that the United States at
this time would consent to a cash
payment Of from $4,000, 900 to
$25,O0O.00O rather that to renew
the war, but the longer a final
settlement is delayed. the smaller
will be the indemnity. In any
event. the president is not dis
posed to brook unnecessary pro
longation Of the negotiations, and
it is believed has so indicated to
II peace commissioners.
THE SPANISH SIDE.
Madrid, Nov. l5.-Accordlng to
semi.oificlal statements here, the
Spanish peace commissioners will
maintain their present attitude
in regard to the Philippine islands
and will certainly not accept the
conditions of the United States.
Further, if the discussion does
not return to the limits of the
protocol, as viewed by the Span
iards. the Spanish commissioners
have decided, in spite of contrary
reports, not to sigu treaty of
peace. 1t is also learned from the
same source that complete accord
prevails between the Spanish
government and its peace com.
missiOners.

TO CREATE A CITY.
Employees of Packing House In Sioux
City Propose to Live in Com.
munity Of Their Own.

Sioux City packing house employees
will live in a community Of their own.
They propose to establish city with .
population of 5000 or 5000, consisting
entirely of packing house men and their
families.
About 1 800 workmen are employedin
various capacities in the local packing
plants. Hitherto they have been scat
tered all over the city wherever homes
could be found. The scarcity Of houses
for rental suggested the plan now un-
der consideration. A syndicate has al
ready been organized to carry 1t out.
A pool will be formed from which . big
tract Of ground will be bought.
The tract will be plated and houses
built on it of all styles and sizes. Mem
bers Of the organization who wish to
furnish their own plans will be per.
mitted to do SO, but the contracts will
be let at the same time for the con-
struction Of every building in the entire
community. BY buying land and carry
ing on building operations on 80 extern
sive a scale 1t is thought that q great
saving can be effected.
The houses will be sold on the INSTALL
ment plan, but to no one except pack
ing house employees. The municipality
will be asked to furnish all public i'm
rrovements enjoyed by other parts Of
the city.
