In closing Mr.. NIcMahon asked Mr.

President Hall then asked Mr.. Kent
if he thought the committee would be
willing to have the fountain located

committee, but as a citizen he would
be glad to see the fountain anywhere.
He was not willing to say that he
thought his opinion would meet with

Thomas A. Hickey Created No End of En-
thusIasm in Horticultural Hall.

"The workingmen OF this country
should wipe out the capitalist class,
clean them out, and vote them out"
With these remarks of Thomas A.
Hickey, the socialist orator of New
York in Horticultural hall, last even
ing, burst of applause swept over
the entire house, and so great was the
enthusiasm that it was some minutes
before the speaker could resume the
thread of his discourse. The occasion
was the first grand indoor rally under
the auspices of the socialist labor party
to be held this fall. Horticultural hall
was comfortably well filled, and several
ladies were present In the audience
Prominent members of the party here,
and especially the nominee for the al
dermAnic ticket occupied seats on the
platform Jonathan Edwards presided
Mr. Hickey is a conservative speak
er and temperate in his remarks, but
yet he strikes the capitalist with a hot
broadside of argument and invectives
which are eloquent, if not convincing.
The speaker said in the course of his
remarks that the capitalist, as a class,
is wholly bad. individuals in it may
rise above it.
A class that can calmly see thou
sands of peaceful, industrious citizens
without turning q hair or reaching
forth a hand to help or to remedy, is a
murderous class. Let it exploit its
sham patriotism while it may but its
days are numbered. There is a small
but rapidly growing number of citizens
who know the terrible conditions that
exist, and know their cause, and also
their remedy.
The socialists of this country propose
that the shop, the mine, the railroad
and the factory shall cease to be hui
man shambles to run for the purpose of
producing profits for the parasitical,
murderous capitalists.
The socialists propose that the mine,
the mill, the factory and railway, all
means of production, transportation,
communication and distribution shall
be owned and worked by those who OPP
crate them. The socialists, by peaceful
measure of the ballot by the adoption
of the cooperative commonwealth,
will take from the capitalist class
their" land, and capital, the former of
which is natures gift, and the latter
the workingmen's product.
The weakness of the workingman has
been that they had short memories. but
they will never forget the iniquities of
the present war. Nong applause) The

McTiernan Becomes Faint
hearted.

James A. McTiernan, who Is the re-
publican nominee for the legislature in
ward four, has become disheartened, as
the following communication will show:
Worcester, Nov. 7, 1898.
To the Voters of Ward Four
After careful consideration, have
concluded to leave the contest for rep
resentative to Mellen and Russell, and
leave the voters to use their own 1udg-
ment in the choice of candidates
(Signed) James A. McTiernan.
Notwithstanding this action at the
last moment, Mr.. McTiernan's name
will appear on the ballot in ward four
today, and his action is not likely to
have any material effect on the result
In connection with this action, it may
be significant to state that circulars
advocating Mr.. McTiernan's election to-
day, addressed to the republican voters
of ward four, were distributed by the
members of the democratic city COM
mittee.

BREAD.
UP
to Standard.
THE BAKERS YIELD.
They Heed Inspector De
Fosse's Instructions.

The wholesale and retail bakers of
the city are yielding all along the line
Yesterday several of the best known
bakers of the city sold loaves of in
creased size to their customers. and. as
a result many a boarding house keeper
in the city is silently thanking Mayor
Dodge for his crusade for honest
bread, of honest weight and honest
quality.
AT first the bakers took decided ex-
ceptions to the investigation started by
Mayor Dodge, but as they began to pc
ruse the law and saw that the mayor
mad the public statutes behind him,
they began to reent and yesterday ba-
kers' carts throughout the city were
carrying an extra load.
Some Of the bakers have not fallen
in line. but most of those who cater to
the boarding house trade are obeying
the instructions of Inspector De Fosse
IL is estimated that by this move on
the part of the bakers in submitting
to the laws of the state, the customer
who buys two-pound loaf of bread
now gets a twb-pound loaf, whereas
previously his loaf has weighed but a
pound and a quarter. A large board
ing house proprietor on the west side
weighed two loaves yesterday one be-
ing baked under the old standard and
one under the new. The sizes to the
eye showed a great difference, and,
when weighed, there was difference
of eight ounces. While this difference
in a single loaf is perceptible but yet
not very marked, the grand difference
in the course of months trade is very
appreoiable, and now the buyer is be-
ginning to get what he formerly paid
to get but what he did not get into sew
eral ounces.
The one-pound loaf was generally a
quarter-pound under weight, and now
the small buyer who purchases the
bread for the small family, receives his
full weight in the staff of life.
Some bakers will probably hold out
against the orders of Inspector De
FoSse, and experiment with several
fines of $40 for each offense, until they
are satisfied to obey the law.
Another provision of the law that
each bakery shall display conspicuous
ly in each store window the schedule
price of bread loaves, has pot yet been
complied with, but one local printer has
received orders for the price cards, and
they will be issued within few days.
Mr.. De Fosse began his work in this
matter a week ago, and gave the ba-
kers two weeks to comply with the law
or be summoned into court. AS the
days of grace end, the bakers are be-
ginning to feel the situation, with the
result that yesterday the people OF
| Worcester enjoyed legal loaf.

ision and classification of a mans per-
sonal property the different schedules
are so many that in some petitions
which have been filed the petitioner has
signed his name as many as thirty-one
times. There is a schedule for furni-
ture, and other similar classification
of mans estate, which it is hoped the
latest construction will not require. The
supreme court Of the United States has
been considering the matter of simpli-
flying the petitions, and when they have
succeeded in curtailing lot of unnec-
essary division and omitted many of
the red tape blanks and forms, the fill
ing of a petition in bankruptcy will be
q much simpler matter, and will not
require such voluminous and null
tiple signature as at present, when the
old forms have to serve the purposes Of

HIS viii Muster Out the Boys Who Were
Unable to Go to Springfield.

Unable to 90 10 Springfield.
Lieut. Oliver Edwards, assistant mus
tering officer of the Second Massachu-
sets regiment, U. s. ", came to Wor-
cestere yesterday, from Boston, to mus
ter out the men of A, c and III COM
pany, who were too i'll to appear at
Springfield, Wednesday. The men all
supposed that they were mustered out
of the service when their names We're
called as being absent and sick. But
Lieut.. Edwards found it was necessary
to follow army regulations and per-
sonallY muster out every man. The
lieutenant did not make his appearance
until $50 o'clock, and examined what
men he could reach at that hour. He
will probably finish his rounds today.
A company has six men to be must
cred out, C company nine men, and II
company five men. Paymaster Sher-
man will probably not reach Worcester
for ten or twelve days. He said in an
interview in Boston Sunday that he did
not think that he could possibly get the
rolls ready until the latter part of next
week at the earliest date.

CHINA's FUTURE.

Messrs. DENLY and Allen In the En-
gineering Magazine scout the ideal that
the Dowager Empress of China has put
the Emperor of China out of the way.
They ask what motive could inspire her
to such an atrocity? He is her devoted
and most affectionate child. to whom
she has as strong an attachment as has
any other parent for offspring. But.
they explain, she saw him a weak
young man, dragged hither and thither
by contending factions, the bribed
agents Of rival countries, and by calcu-
lating and selfish politicians. She
therefore stepped in to protect him from
them and from himself, and thus laid
her worn old hands once more upon the
reins Of power.
She is strong and intelligent wo-
man, greatly revered by the Chinese, a
woman who ruled China for thirty
years during the most difficult period Of
its modern history, when foreign plans
and methods were being introduced, and
when the empire was beset with all
manner of notions, suggestions and
even menaces from the outside. It was
natural, therefore, that she should step
between her son and the dangers she
saw threatening him, because of his
lack of manly vigor and moral courage.
We may accept this statement at its
full value, and still believe that China
is now ruled by one of the old regime
eigners. and will contest inch by inch
every effort to revitalize China and
bring her somewhat into line with the
progress of the age. "She is a great
woman" assuredly, and one of marvel
Gus daring, as she demonstrated IN
1862 when she sent to the bowstring
four of the leading men Of the Elm
pire's Capital who dared to conspire
against and oppose her. But she is an
unprogressive woman. The Emperor Is
assuredly weak, but the Dowager En-
press is certainly retrogressive and
merciless in prosecution of her emni-
ties. 11S WTllefS TeIeTTSu u, NIio stS-
sert their beliefs with great vigor and
apparent deep conviction of their entire
soundness, do not believe that there will
be a partition Of China. They say:
Germany, Russia, France and Eng
land have seized what they want of the
territory of China. They recognize that
she is the greatest market on earth for
their manufactured goods, and the
greatest field for industrial enterprise.
They have no interest in dividing her
up into hostile camps, in checking pro-
duction, and paralyzing progress. The
more the Chinaman Is civilized, the
greater purchaser of imported goods he
becomes. If every man in China wore
a shirt, the sale of shirtings would keep
all the mills in the United States busy;
and so with other articles. Nations are
governed by self-interest. It is the in
terest of the world to preserve the au-
tonomy of China. 1t is particularly to
American interest to do so. To carry
out this view the United States need
only hold the Philippines, which they
claim as their own by conquest, and
they do not need to take any part of the
mainland of China.

EMPEROR WILLIAM OF GERMANY.

The Emperor of Germany has run
ming ear. A rather prosy statement to
nevertheless; and, what is worse, he can
find no cure. This greatest of Emper-
ors, this autocratic ruler Of the greatest
Of nations, can find no cure for such
seemingly insignificant malady. Just
think of it: man at whose beck one of
the strongest armies and navies of the
whole earth could be set in motion, a
man whose rule is absolute over the
country of medical universities, man
whose slightest caprice could press into
service the most noted savants and phil
osophers on earth, has running ear
and is unable to find cure!
Now contrast the experience of the
following citizens of the United States
with the Emperor of Germany. Like the
Emperor, they failed to find cure. But,
unlike the Emperor, they happened to
be plain citizens of the United States,
rather than the center of the inner
court of the most exclusive and careful
ly guarded aristocracy of the world. In
