LABOR AND IMPERIALISM.

When the issue of expansion and
imperialism first came to the front
it met with occasional sympathy and
approval from labor organizations.
But this has entirely changed, says
a writer in the Pittsburg Post.
Whenever labor now speaks on the
subject, and it does so whenever
occasion presents, there is no doubt
what it means-that is, decided
and unfaltering opposition to inn
perial acquisitions. 1t has not
taken labor long to reach the con-
clusion that the annexation of eight
or ten millions of Malays means a
flood of cheap labor that must in
the nature of things come into COM
petition with free labor.
In New York City all the asso-
ciated labor unions fraternizing with
the Central Labor Union on Christ
mas placed themselves on record in
opposition to imperialism and ex-
pansion. The vote was unanimous.
AS against the policy of an alliance
with Great Britain so much talked
of the Central Labor Union Endorsed
the..preservation of the wise and
time-attested policy of George
Washington of avoiding all entang-
ling alliances with European pow
ers." There is no reason to question
the fact that labor organizations
throughout the Union hold to the
view of the New York organization.
This is an immense popular power,
slready organized and informed,
that the imperialists must count on
facing.
II is not alone the question of

Notice the different methods
adopted by the city government in
the matter of pending claims. The
corporations against whom the city
had large claims were let down very
easy, concessions being made in all
cases. To offset this, according to
daily paper reports, the city refuses
to recognize the claims of a large
number of street laborers, threaten
ing them with loss of employment
if they persist in demanding salaries
they are entitled to under ordi-
nances passed by the Council, APP

HON. CHARLES d. JACOB.

Hon. Charles d. Jacob died sud
denly Christmas morning, causing
a pang of sorrow to every one in
the community on that joyous day,
for no man was so universally loved
by the people of all classes and con-
ditions-all respected him, even his
political rivals. Born, reared and
throughout life rich, his gentleman
" bearing, politeness and charity
endeared him to the poor, in whose
behalf he did so much as Mayor
and as an individual; to rich and
poor he was the same affable man;
to the workingmen he was a wise
counselor, a sympathizing friend, a
generous helper; to all a gentleman
at all times.
To the city the benefits OF his
wise, enterprising, far-seeing public
spirit are manifested in our parks,
best streets, boulevards, sewers,
lights and improvements in police,
fire and other municipal depart
ments, urged if not really inaugu-
rated by him as Mayor. He was
ever progressive, pushing forward
to make things better, more COM
Portable, convenient, beautiful, to
bring his native city to the front,
advance its interests, develop its
manufactures, build up its COM
merce, extend its trade; and he
succeeded in at least starting prog
ress in the Old town in spite OF all
the opposition of politicians and the
old-time "let-well-enough alone"
folks, who, admiring the Mayor,
vet shook their heads obviously at
his seeming extravaganza and wor-
RED over the, high taxes and IN
evitable bankruptcy which they /!
contended must result. And dur
ing his -four terms as Mayor, amid
all the contentious of municipal
strife in twelve years and six cam
paigns for Mayor, no one ever dared
to cast the least reflection upon his
individual character. On the con-
trary, no man was held in higher
esteem, loved by larger and more
varied personal following. who, re-
CARELESS of politics, religion, wealth,
family, friendship, anything, any
body, were ever eager to work,
hurrah and vote for Charley Jacob
for Mayor against the world?'

AND GAMBLING is DEAD or.

And he jes' LATED, and we'll he
may. The present gambling law
was never intended to suppress
gambling, but enable lawyers and
others to fleece the gamblers, who,
in return for being fleeced, were tc
enjoy a monopoly of the game.
Occasionally, to beguile the public,
or to vent spleen on some particu-
lar rival sport, or where one has the
hardihood to dare open up game
outside the privileged set and re-
fuses or fails to ante up, we are
furnished spasm of law and order,
as was enacted in the past few days,
and gambling is dead-that is, long
enough to delude the public, graf
ify the spite, freeze out the rival OF
force him into line-then gradually
but surely, gambling revives.
So long as the parties who opened
the st. Leger were connected with
the Newmarket-in cahoot with
the Turf Exchange, employing
Aaron Kohn as attorney-they
were frequently indicted and ar
rested along with the others, but
never convicted, never raided, never
closed up.
The Newmarket was closed, and
those vino fad operated it, despite
hints, winks, frowns and covert
Threats, opened the St. Leger in
opposition to the Turf Exchange
and selected another than Aaron
Kohn for their attorney. Within
a single day they are indicted,
raided, jailed with everyone caught
on the premises, their furniture
seized and the place closed. The
majesty of the law must be upheld
Now for the real animus of it all.
Never was law and its machinery
used more brazenly. Owing to the
illness of Commonwealth Attorney
Parsons Saturday, Aaron Kohn,
chief attorney for the Turf Elk
chage gamblers, was acting as Com
monwealth's Attorney pro TEN.
By virtue of the Office he was the
legal adviser of the grand jury,
which ordered the raid, seizure and
arrests. If he did not advise them
and allowed them to proceed lille
gally he failed in his duty. There
fore, as Commonwealth Attorney,
he is responsible for it.
On Monday morning Aaron Kohn
appears in the Police Court as at
torney for the arrested gamblers
some of the Turf Exchange crowd
having been bagged with the others
and declares the grand jury's
order for the raid, seizure and ar
rests to be irregular, null and void,
nd moved and urged the court to
dismiss all parties, restore all prop
erty and even refund all fees COL
lected by court officials.
Monday afternoon and Tuesday
morning Aaron Kohn was again
Commonwealth Attorney, and the
grand jury ignores the action of the
Police Court, orders the seized
property held as evidence and
issues writ requiring the Chief of
Police to bring it to them, and in
diets few more gamblers.
On Tuesday afternoon Aaron
Kohn, as attorney for the gamblers,
confers with the Mayor, Chief of
Police and Board of Safety to have
the prosecution stopped, the prop
erty restored, the pool-rooms to
close.
Wednesday morning Aaron Kohn
plays the double role at one and
