The colored people of this city are
negotiating with the Cotton Belt
road for an excursion train to run
from here to Spirit Lake on the 4th
of July. The Cotton Belt has
agreed to charge 30 and % cents,
giving the promoters of the enter
prise Is per cent for advertising
purposes and other expenses that
may come up. 1t seems that the
colored man is going to celebrate
the 4th of July, while the white
man is saving wood and saying
nothing. We will have to make us
another national holiday when we
thrash Spain, and then we will have
one that all can afford to take a
day off and enjoy.

through tho ranks of organized labor
since March 81 have found the senti-
ment to be almost unanimous that il
Cuba could BIO freed and reparation for
the loss Of the Maine could be secured
without bloodshed it should be done.
If war must be, then labor will be in
the front van. 1t ismy personal opinion
that u conflict is almost inevitable.
"You must understand that, for the
last 20 years, in this country n great
work Of humanizing men in their rela-
tons TO each other has been going on.
1t has been tremendous reorganization
of the social and political as we'll as the
economic relations of men to each other.
They have been drawing closer togeth
err, and the more harmonious relations
of labor and capital are evidence of the
strength of this movement War means
setback to this reorganization, seri-
GUS blow to its progress for years to
come.
Again, revival of healthy indus
trial conditions is at hand The impetus
of increased work is felt on all sides.
War means an interruption of this.
THE laboring man Of today, the man
In tho ranks of organized labor, was
never thinking as much as he is at the
present time, and he is not crying for
war. Il it necessary that, because a pro-
Weylerite, for political reasons, do.
stroyed our Maine, we should seek repa-
ration by shedding the blood of other
men? Arc there not other honorable
modes Of reparation to be obtained!
When it is determined there are not
such modes, then consideration of war
will be another question. .
OF labor organizations Mr.. Gompers
went on to say: "They were never
stronger. l think capitalists and the
workingmen are closer together than
ever, and we have reached that point
where there is no human power that can
destroy tho labor organizations of the
United States. Tho fact that these or
CARNATIONS have gone through the period
OF industrial depression without becom
ing disorganized has increased the con
fidence and respect in them on the part
of the employer.
Further, there is more work for Ia
Dor today than there has been for some
time past Labor is more in demand
and, while here and there some differ
ences exist, they arc not serious, ant
the general situation is most excellent
of course the preparations for wal
have increased the work in certain
branches of labor enormously, but t.
offset this is the fact that while war il
imminent or when it becomes q certain

from investment because of capital
timidity. This will affect industrial con
dltions to certain extent. The Cubal
question will trouble everything until i
is settled, and that is one of the power
full reasons why labor wishes for tn,
freedom of Cuba. A more powerful rea
son is that the granting Of political free

Captain +. i. Zalinski, the artiller-

night before the National Civic Club Of
Brooklyn on "Our Military Prepara-
tions," said that we are not prepared
for war. We will be able to fight Spain,
he said, but there is great danger of in
PREVENTION by some other nation angered
by our Monroe doctrine and envious of
our prosperity.
When this trouble began" he said,
lit is safe to say that there were not
more than five rounds Of ammunition
for each available gun. This has been
overcome only to the measure that we
can cope with Spain, who was in Just as
bad fix. Millions of men do not make
soldiers in an instant, and millions of
dollars cannot make guns and ships in
a short time. 1t takes from is months
to two years to build one of the big
modern guns and almost as much time
to get its ammunition. You cannot get
your ships in moments notice, and
the market is not stocked with good
material either in ships or in guns and
ammunition.
ut is the same way with the army.
We cannot get out so many soldiers as
we think. They must be trained. In
New York we are reasonably protected,

now being put up we would be able to
