WANT THE FARES ALLOWED
Strike Among AmaIGamated Sheet Iron
Workers.


Says the Moline Dispatch:
"A controversy over the payment
of railroad fares for men who were
sent out of the city has caused a strike
of the members of the Amalgamated
Sheet Iron workers in the factory of
the Skies Roofing company of Chica-
90. The men were sent to Moline to
put in the corrugated ceiling in the
Moline Plow company's new foundry,
and while there were ordered to strike
because the firm refused to make an
agreement with the union. When
the men returned to Chicago Monday
the amount of their railroad fare was
deducted from their pay, and the
union now insists that this money
shall be returned. A general strike
of the building trades is threatened
unless the firm complies with the re-
quirements of the union. Business
Agent Pouchot, of the union, said yes
terday that he would ask for a strike
committee at the meeting of the bust
ness agents of the Building Trades
council today unless a settlement was
made -

The meeting between Kid Mccoy
and Jack Mccormack in New York
last night resulted Just as the local
would. Mccoy proved that the
Knockout he received in Chicago
from Mccormack was accidental. He
defeated Mccormack last night with
out over-eXerting himself. He did
not put away his erstwhile rival only
because of the Intervention of the
referee. Mccormack relied wholly on
his strength and endurance. He had
little science and could not reach Nc
Coy. His hooks were dangerous. but
Mccoy craftily avoided them.
Throughout the conflict Mccormack
kept groveling on the mat to get out
of the way of McCoy's hurricanes.
He feared his opponents deadly right
and persistent left. 1t was this con-
slant falling down, like post W it'll

to stop the fight and give the victory

ANtTEIRISM IN POLITICS.

With fathcrly consideration for the
youth Of the land. and also. we imagine,
with double-breastci smile of benevo-
Ionce. Mark a. Hanna has advised
young men to LET politics alone as q pro-
fcssion." These words ought to have
weight. Hanna did not enter politics him
self until late in life, and until. ike
noted prototype, he had accumulated
much of this worlds goods. And then he
SHE'D his castor into the political ring as
an amateur only but his career has de-
monstratcd that the amateur who has
reached years of maturity can give the
average callow. or. Tor that matter, the
seasoned. professional many points in
the contest and beat him.
Some time back Hanna started out in
an omateurish way TO make his friend
William Mckinley. President of the
United States ana how well and by what
means he succeeded all the world knows
Encouraged by his success. he soon con-
ceived higher aims for Mckinley, and
with our apologies to Shakespeare We
find him dreaming Of the hour when he
may cXcaim:
"Now by my faith, lords, twas a glo-
rous DAY,
Philippines war. won by glorious Will
ham
Shall be eternzed in all age to come;
Sound drums and tumpets. and TO
Washington all,
And more such days as these 10 us
betau."
Should the dream be realized Hanna
Will stand out in history as great
er than his prototype. Warwick
was only king maker; Hanna's
ambition IS TO 90 down to Pos
terity as an emperor maker. and not a few
persons in this country fear that this
ambition is not an idle one. At any rate
Hanna. even if doomed 10 disappointment
ia respect II this matter has proved by
what he has already accomplished the
grand possibilities Of amateurism i'm poll
tics both in the direction of elevating
others ana himself, and in sharing "the
common profits Of the country" SO. we
repeat, the words Of the benevolent. ge-
NAL fatherly Republican boss ought TO
have weight with the youth Of the land.
Why should any man rush I'm his youth
into politics professionally. when he has
before him the shining lesson of the
grand amateursh triumphs Mark Hanna
achieved after he had passed the meri-
dian Of life?

sTREET-CAR FRANCHISES.

The Richmond syndicate. which was
| disorganizcd somewhat on account Of the
withdrawal OF several Of its members,
has now been reformed upon good
basis. and IS making ready to negotiate
further with the City Council for the
franchises soon to be disposed OF.
OF course. the Council must dispose Of
these franchises TO whomsoeyor makes
the best offer for them, all things con-
sidered. but in any event the old street.
railway system should be rehabilitated as
soon as possible 1t has been permitted
to run down TO a degree which is OBJ
servable TO every one. Whoever takes il
I'm hand will have TO expend a deal oil
money upon IT, or else disappoint public
expectation. We presume the Council
will take that into consideration when it
comes to arrange the rate Of taxation.
Another question for consideration IS,
What is the prevailing rate Of taxation
in other cities of our class?
For the present, at least we cannot
hope 10 receive more for our franchises
than other cities similarly situated have
been able TO secure for theirs, but we
can provide so that taxation will increase
with the company's gross receipts. Aside
from the Main-strcet line, and possibly
the horse-car line Of late. we believe
these properties have not made remark
able records as revenue-producers.
We hope this whole question will be
discussed dispas sionately, in the light Of
the cloarest facts obtainabe On the one
hand. the city wants a reasonably large
revenue on the other. those who are
bidders, or may become bidders, will
wish to have margin for profit. As for
street-car patrons, they Will demand
good and sufficient service. with the ne
cessary accomplishments Of quick sche-
dulles and transfers between the old lines
and the new.
IT seems to us the prospect for a settle
ment upon terms which will be satisfac-
tory to all concerned is better now than
IL has ever been. Certainly the subject
is now better understood than formerly,
and the recent lull in proceedings doubt
less has had a beneficial effect upon all
the parties TO the controversy.

THE WILLIAMS RESOLUTION.

As the readers Of the Dispatch know,
on Thursday Representative Williams, OF
Mississippi. introduced I'm the United
states House Of Representatives :wO
Joint resolutions, touching the Philip
pines problem. one provides that we
recognize the independence of the Philip
pines. and guarantee protection TO the
islands for d period of ten years. on con-
dition that the Tnipinos refund to Us the
100000 Mr. Mckinley gave Spain for
them. code US naval stations and other
places suitable for coaling our warships,
and pay the expenses of such United
States military and naval forces as il
may be necessary to keep I'm the archi-
pelago until the natives shall have inau-
gurated a constitutional government ana
peace and order shah have been estab-
lished.
This resolution also provides that the
Filipinos shall grant the American PEG
bic lin perpetuty the right Of free access
10 all their ports for goods, merchandise,
and persons bent on peaceful or mission
airy pursuit"
The second resolution provides for an
inquiry into our relations with the Sulus,
especially, and their bearing on the thir
seenth amendment TO the Constitution
the amendment covering the matter of
slavery within the jurisdiction of the
United States-and the President is re-
ouested to transmit TO Congress such pa
pers and documents as would throw light
on thu subject.
or course, there Is no expectation that
the resolutions Will be adopted. Presi-
dent Mckinley has Congress by the ear,
and knows he can lead it any way he de-
sires. Even il the resolutions stood any
chance in the House. the Senate, in de-
ieating the Pottigrew resolution, inquir-
ing whether we had ever recognized the
philippine flag has served notice of en-
dorsement of Mr.. McKinlcys Philippines
policy.
The best that can be hoped for, there
fore. is that the Williams resolutions.
which are also said to indicate the posi-
zion Of "A number of other Democrats on
the Philippines issue, will afford an OPP
portunity for a debate that will educate
the public as to the arbitrary course Of
tho administration, and the perils TO our
institutions it involves. And IL that op-
portunity is afforded it Will be the duty
of the Democrats 10 seize it and make
the most of it, to the end of making II
tell in the campaign OF 1900.

coNsTITuTioNAL CONVENTION.

We quote the following from the
columns of the ScOttsyille Courier:
The sentiment appears 10 be quite gen
eral among the members of the Lcgisla-
ture in favor of having constitutional
convention TO prepare new Constitu-
tion and steps toward that end Will,
more than likely, be taken during this
session. There can be no doubt that
changes are most imperatiVely demanded.
in the interests of economy and good
government; the only question is as 10
the means 10 be adopted TO bring about
those changes-Whether il is better 10
have a convention with the great atten-
dant cost and chance of hasty and liz
considered action after all, or TO have
the changes adopted by the Legislature
and voted upon by the people. The mat
tor will, no doubt, be thoroughly discuss
ed this winter, and public attention being
directed TO IL, the best mode Will probably
.5e adopted.
Yes. this matter ought TO be thoroughly
discussed this winter. With the oNpe-
rience Of 1896 before us, 1t would be use
less 10 order vote on the question Of
convention or no convention unless tho
to make IL a party measure. If We side
track amendments that might be made
by the legislative process, and then fail
70 cali convention, we shall be losing
valuable time. We incline very much to
the view recently expressed by the
14ynchburg News. that il will be neces-
sary for the Democratic state Convention
10 endorse any bill on this subject which
the Legislature may pass. We shall have
such a convention next summer.
There Is another question that ought TO
be considered. Ia case Dir. Floods bin
meets with the sanction OF the Legisla-
turo-and we think II is very much APP
proved there-when should the popular
vote be taken? Mr.. Flood has suggested
May. 1901. as a suitable time. but we
understand that his opinion is not unal-
terably fixed as 20 that date.
Perhaps IL is not a matter OF vital Inn
