Labor and Annexation.

Some members of the labor unions,
vino have been waving their arms in
ecstatic approval of duty and destiny's
land grabbing propansities, have STUN
bled upon facts which are causing
them to scratch their heads in perpleX-
ity.
The Central Labor Union of New

ject of territorial expansion and ended
by referring the whole question Of
arnes at on to he 1efe e. DUN o. u az s.
Not that they expect this body to set
tie the matter, but by it's careful in
v5stigation Of the effects Of imperial
ism upon labor the unions may be able
to take an intelligent position on the
question. That their influence may be
made to count for something the eXis-
tence of the anti Chinese law proves
Among the facts which made the
New York Labor union call q halt was
a presentation of figures showing the
wage average in the West and East
indies. Twenty cents day represents
the earning capacity of theWest Indian
negro. and 10 cents a day that Of the
East Indian Malay. With such facts
as these thrust upon the attention of
the laboring men, 1t is not markable
that their imperialistic enthusiasm
Should have suddenly subsidized. Said

that the Philippine cigar industry
would ruin the home manufactures:

that in order to trade with the Philip

The Governors Appointments.

The esteemed Dispatch formally mott
f1es Gov.-elect John Lind that it will
be a non-participant in the campaign
of advice which it insists is now being
vigorously waged by the Republican
Democratic and "mongreI' press Of the
state. 1t will not harass him with sug-
gestions as to filing the offices nor
bring sorrow upon his head by sug-
costing the policy to be pursued by his
administration.
All honor to so generous and thought
full a contemporary 1t was not, then,
after all, the form of John Lind wrap
ped in a military cloak that we saw
covering in the doorway of the Dis
patch sanctum, YEARLY waiting ano
watching for the arrival of the editor
and his budget of policies and appoin-
tees. We thought it was some other fell
low. The Dispatches notification settles
it; for nobody who ever visited the
Abode of Thought and Wisdom in
search of advice ever yet failed to get
away with anything less than an arm
full.
The Dispatch comedies that John
Lind owes his election to silver Demo-
u dlSt SOli l'rlLiONI dtSs IOpullSlS anu
Republicans. 1t goes so far as to in
sist that $4,000 Republicans preferred
Lind to Eustis - because, no doubt,
they believed him to be a
better man. The Dispatch may
expect, then. and The G ! o b e
sincerely believes that it viii not be
disappointed, TO find among Gov Lind's
appointees at least one silver Demo-
crat. one gold Democrat. one Populist
and one Republican. If there are any
other combinations or parties which
contributed TO so glorious a victory,
then they too should be recognized. II
is a cardinal principle Of sound Democ-
racy that it viii ever pay it's indebt-
edness TO the last farthing. Good
policy would dictate, therefore, the
recognition OF silver and gold Demo-
Gratis, Populists and Republicans, and
we believe Gov. Lind VIII have nerve
enough to select at least one consplcu-
Gus representative of each organization
for Official preferment.
AS for the rest-if the governor en-
counters any difficulties in finding men
to ill the offices. there remains Col
Thompson's Sunday school class to
draw upon.
