THE opinion seems to be general that
the stamp tax is here to stay. We be-
lieve this is so. The total im%possibility
Of getting a revenue out of the jackass
tariff is plain even to the inner circle of
Dingleyites, and the war has been a God
send to them in affording them a p~retext
for the legislation to which they would
Nave been compelled to resort. anyway
AS soon as the Democracy returns to
power, a graded system of taxation with
a liberal tariff will be enacted. Together
they will provide sufficient revenue for
the government without lettering bust
ness. In both respects, they will differ
from the win atrocity of the monumental
jackass of all history.

Senator DAILY and Henry j. Gottlob

We do not know whether the charges
which Henry j. Gottlob, professional
labor agitator, is levelling against Sena-
tor DAILY are the result of personal spite
or partisan zeal-Gottlob is a bigoted
Republican, as his advocacy of Senator
Ketcham will illustrate-but whatever the
motive may be, the method is most I'M
scrupuious.
The Paterson Guardian" which gives
a very long and detailed report of the
recent labor conference at Paterson,
affords no sort of color for Gottlob's
claim that the conference supported him
and condemned the Senator. The fact is
the conference sat down on Gottlob with
very great emphasis. Gottlob's various
claims regarding the days proceedings,
as Incorporated in his manifold letter to
the newspapers, are totally unsupported
by fact. He asserts that Senator DAILY
was in Paterson pulling wires to gain
control of the conference. THE News
is in a position to guarantee that the
Senator was not out of Hoboken that
day. He was seen by a reporter of this
paper at least twice, and he was busy all
day preparing his admirable Pennington
speech.
The main subject of the controversy is
the Senate Bill No. 112, which Gottlob
accuses Senator DAILY of killing in COM
mittee. The charge is absurd. Senator
DAILY was a minority member both in the
Senate and in committee. He was equally
powerless to pass and to kill measures.
Only the majority could decide the fate
of legislation. This is so obvious that it
seems almost preposterous to have to d.
rect the attention of an intelligent public
to it.
Further, being a minority member, it
was not his place to urge popular legis-
lation upon the majority, by which they
might win the public favor. Tt would
have been very bad politics for him to
do so. If Mr.. Gottlob wanted his bill
passed, why did he not get the Repub-
licans to take it up? What was the mat
ter with the good Mr.. Ketcham, for whom
he now has SO many honeyed words?

COOKING App1es.'>


Mrs. Emma P. Ewing devotes a
whole lesson to the cooking of ap.
pies in simple ways. She begins
with apple sauce, which, she says,
is almost never properly made. The
delicate flavor Of the fruit is injured
by coming into contact with tin or
iron and consequently it should al
ways be stewed in porcelain lined
kettle or granite ware saucepan. A
dusting Of salt and very little water
should be added before the apples
are put upon the stove. Cover the
saucepan closely and do not stir.
When the apples are taken from the
fire, put one half of the sugar that
is required to sweeten them into the
bottom Of a china or earthen bowl,
pour the hot apples over it, add the
rest of the sugar and cover until
served. Dootoring with spices, d.
luting with water, dosing with
sugar, beating with iron spoons,
straining through tin colanders and
serving cold, Mrs. Ewing says, is a
process that robs the delicious fruit
Of all flavor and most of its nutri.
tive quality.-New York Post.

THE SERIOUS PROBLEM.

The Associated Press, at
least, can not be suspected of
doctoring the figures in favor
of public ownership of public
utilities. A dispatch sent out
awhile ago from Washington
credits Consul Monaghan at
Chemnitz, Germany, with a
report to the state department.,
which among other things, say
that the total income of the
Prussian government for 1867
was slightly more than two
billion marks, and of this sum
the receipts from the state
owned railroads were 1,02O,-
1924 marks. After giving
some statistics in detail the
consul continues:
No other branch of public
property pays so surely and so
we'll. The certainty of the re-
ceipts, the size, the ease with
which they are obtained and
their cash character, render
them the most useful of all the
moneys turned into the public
treasury. y y The ten
dency all over the German en-
pire is toward state and city
ownership of all kinds of trans
portation facilities as we'll as
of telegraph, telephones and
other means of communica-
tion."
But if the United States
adopted such an up-to-date
policy what would become of
our mushroom aristocracy?

WHAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE.

In the township of Bridge
water, n. J., the New York &
Philadelphia Traction COM
pany, without franchise and
in defiance of d judicial I'M junc-
ton, with an invading army of
a thousand men, tore up a
road, built d trolley line and
ran it's cars. The sheriff was
present with his deputies to
resist the unwarranted action
of the company and was driven
away by force of arms. The
Chicago Dispatch asks: "Did
the sheriff order his men to
fire on these shameless break
ers of the peace? Were the
newspapers filled with the
names of men shot in the back?
Were the funeral services of
murdered men interfered with
by orders of a militia general?'
You didn't hear of it, did you?
The Dispatch adds: "The men
who defied the injunction were
capitalists; they had an army
of thousand men, armed to
the teeth, and they trampled
on the law with inpunity and
secuted the sheriff and his au-
thority. The Hazleton miners
were poor, uneducated, un-
armed, and they broke no law.
They represented no capital,
and they were shot down like
dogs, by :blooded, cowardly
assassins."

WHY 0UMBER1TH 1T THE GRoUNDP
Conditi ons are fast shaping
themselves so that respectable
members of organized labor
will have to seriously consider
the question: "What are we
here for?"
To be satisfied with present
conditions, hoping they may
grow no worse and making
little effort to improve them
lest we lose a small part of
what we now have?
To maintain the prestige of
a few presumptuous leaders
until their "pull" shall render
them independent of the condi-
tons that everywhere Cypress
their fellow toilers?
To preserve the situations of
the few lucky diplomats who
have monopolized all that
there is in sight, while the
others, whose forbearance
alone makes their situations
worth anything, demurely sat-
isfy themselves with the scant
crumbs that fall beyond the
lucky fellows reach?
Or are we trying to find out
the bed rock principle of social
we'll being: as it applies to our
generation, and to make an in
telligent and manly struggle
for it's recognition?
Neither time-server, wolf nor
coward dares answer the latter
by practical effort in the affirm
ative.

Congress sat until it was sat-
isfed. Then it went home and
hung up it's stocking and swore
a little-mostly about civil SER
vice. We have a very large
country and much of it is out
of doors. And some of our
statesmen are only barnyard
fowls. They cackle, not be-
cause they have laid an egg
but because they don't know
any better.-Bede's Budget.
The labor world., 1898-01-08
many.

That the rich hold the law in
contempt is shown daily by
their own press. Congress
passed a law giving the rail
roads three years in which to
kill all the brakemen they
pleased, after which they
should all have the safety
couplers. The time has elapsed,
the railroads refuse to comply
with the law. Are they SEN
fenced to prison for violating a
law that causes several deaths
day? Not bit of it, honey.
If poor devil had violated the
law by grinding up pint of his
corn and run it through a still,
or had made a cigar out of his
own tobacco, he would have
been sentenced with a severe
reprimand on the awfulness of
his lawlessness. And you
know it. The laws are for the
holding of the poor while the
rich go through their pockets.
There is no crime that men,
greedy for money will not COM
nit to satisfy their depravity.
But so long as the laws are ex-
ecuted by men who hold their
office by favor of corporate in
fluence aud who have bonds,
stocks and mortgages in their
family, so long will the execu-
ton be a farce.-Appeal to Rea-
son.

PROSPERITY BOOMERS.

Our attention has been called
to some figures printed in the
Pioneer Press and alleged to
have emanated from officials
of the state federation of labor,
which form the basis for an
argument on the improved
conditions prevailing among
the organized trades in this
state. 1t is claimed that the
reports show that the men,
bers of those trades are "more
generally employed now than
at any time for several years."
Further along it is asserted
that 88 per cent of the union
men in Minnesota are at work.
Whether or not the officials
of the state federation have
made the reports as alleged,
LABOR WORLD does not know.
But no union man or any other
man with his eyes open is de-
ceived by such allegations.
That the public may know just
how much truth there is in the
report it is only necessary to
state that not one union in ten
ever makes such thing as an
official report on the matter in
question. Unions have to re-
port their membership to their
national officers because their
dues are determined by the
numbes of members; but as a
rule they never go farther. It
is customary for central bodies
to have a statistician whose
duties it is to gather statistics
regarding wages, men out of
employment, etc., but so far as
experience goes the mission of
the office is an entire failure
because the affiliated organiza-
tons will not report. Hence,
the officials of the state fedora
ton have no data on which to
figure, and the assumption
that they have. to every intelli-
gent union man, is a dead give
away on the "prosperity boom
ers."
This boom business does the
cause a positive injury. It
misleads the public as to actual
economic conditions, and justi-
fies the perpetuation of influ-
ences that are sapping the
strength of the social founda-
ton. The first essential to a
scientific understanding of the
social problem is correct
knowledge of actual facts and
the cause can have no greater
enemy anywhere than those
who from over enthusiasm or
other motives, deliberately mis-
represent conditions.

Nothing is more evident
than that plutocracy scents a
class struggle in coming years.
They believe also that it will
be a contest of blood. The
"Knickerbocker Greys" is the
name of new military organ
ization now being formed in
New York from among the sons
of the millionaires to maintain
in this struggle the supremacy
of their class. And among the
signs of the times the "Knick-
erbocker Greys" is only one of
many.

From the Babys Merry Grow to the Ma
MACS Terrifying Scream.
Has laughter gone out2 Are we
never again to have the honest
guffaw-the loud laugh, which, as
the poet says, bespeaks the vacant
mind9 Is this really true account
of the rationale of cachinnation5 If
so, probably it has gone out, at any
rate in polite circles, because we
are nothing now if we are not cul
tured and refined, and to be vulgar
and to be ignorant are worse offenses
than any more explicitly forbidden
in the Decalogue. And yet it almost
seems a pity too. It is not we'll,
surely, to lose any innocent and,
happily, infectious expression of
pleasure in a world 10 bedeviled as
ours.
Alasl l fear there is no doubt
that the power Of irrepressible
laughter is the gift of youth and
youth only, whether in nations or
in individuals. Passing the draw
ing room door the other afternoon,
I could hear inside peal after peal Of
silvery, girlish laughter. 1t was
Miss Ethel, who was entertaining
her school friends with tea and
bread and butter and jokes. That
is the time of life for laughter. I
dare say the jokes would not have
made me smile. But when the
springtide is blossoming, and the
sap is running upward in the trees,
and the vernal woods are bursting
into leaf and echoing with song,
and, wherever you look, all is ver-
dure and joy, almost anything can
move quick laughter.
Or there is an earlier stage, when
baby is being tickled by mamma
and crows with delight. Or, though
this, it is true, is often silent, there
is that most beautiful of all sights
the little blue eyed boy or girl
who lies in the white cot at dawn
and smiles and ripples with laugh
ter at some innocent, childish
thought. 1t is good to hear happy
laughter it is good to watch these
baby smiles.
But laughter can be not only gro
/ tesque, but very dreadful as well.
To hear maniac laugh is one of
the most terrible experiences To
hear a hundred laugh, as one does
in nearing the Isola del Pazzi at
Venice, is a foretaste of the lower
regions.
Farther on in the downward path
of life, when the end is very near,
the failure of the mind is often pro-
claimed by violent laughter. The
old man is back again in the scenes
Of boyhood and is going over in a
dream the days of long ago. I re-
member well, lying awake in Lon
don lodgings, through an otherwise
still June night, unable to sleep for
the loud, incessant laughter pealing
from the room above, where the old
man of the house lay dying. When
it ended, just before dawn, the old
life ended with it, and in the morn.
ing his daughter came in to an.
nounce the fact and to express the
hope that I had not been much dis
turbed. The old man, che assured
me, had been in no pain, but had
been going over his boyish days
again; the old brothers, long years
dead and forgotten, were with him,
and they were cricketing or gather
ing apples or swinging or swimming
together across the old brook all
that sleepless night. One was glad
: it was so, but the laughter had an
awful sound.-Sir Lewis Morris in
