Of the most important gatherings of
colored men that has been held for some
time. 1t is said that a fight will re-
suit over the resolutions, which II Is
promised will be introduced, denouncine
President Mckinley for not using the
federal authorities to prevent Iynchine

resolutions of this import will be brought
before the convention, and on that issue
the forces on both sides are already lin
ing up.
The faction which will support the
resolutions will, it is understood, take
the ground that lynchings should not be
tolerated either in Georgia or Illinois
ana that when the state authorities are
unable to prevent the recurrence of such
crimes the strong hand of the national
government should step in, no matter
whether the victim be white or black

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Aug. 10
Advices from the Arctic whaling fleet,

WILL THE MAYOR INSIST


1t would be using a very mild express
sion to say that at the present time the
relations of Mayor Kiefer and his two
police chiefs are strained. 1t might be
they are strained to the parting point.
Never before, so far as the average NOR
tai knows or has heard, was there
a chief of police, or for that matter a
chief of detectives who submitted to be-
ing so grossly snubbed and-as the ex-
preston goes-turned down by his SUI
perior officer without showing enough
spirit to at least tender his resignation.
1t is hardly probable that the resigna-
ton of either of these officials is at the
present time in the hands of the mayor
1t has recently been said by close friend
of Chief Goss, to whom in some measure
he owes his appointment and his reten-
ton of his position, that Goss is not the
man to resign anything there is dollar
in. Chief Schweitzer, having been a po-
lice officer all his mature life, of course
does not feel disposed to present his
resignation so long as he may have the
alternative of going back to one of his
former grades on the force.
What the public is more interested in
knowing, however, is whether in the alb
sence of designations Mayor Kiefer will
do the only other thing that is left to
him to do with self-respect He is not a
man that talks a great deal Nor has he
shown thus far that he is a man to
arouse the opposition Of his enemies
within his own party. But he is the chief
magistrate of this town He has said as
clearly as action can indicate a mans
views that he has no confidence in his
leading police officials They have not had
the courage and sense of personal or Off
cial pride to induce them to withdraw
from the posts at which they are not
wanted. There could ordinarily be but
one thing for their superior to do in such
a situation, and that is to put them out.
against
such a course in the case of the chief of
detectives, there is nothing whatever to
be urged in palliation of Mayor Kiefer in
case he should not promptly demand the
resignation of his chief of police. He,
not Goss, it is that is charged with the
safety of the lives and property of the
people of st. Paul He certainly cannon
discharge his responsibility acceptably
to them or to himself while there re-
mains at the head of the police DEPART
ment an Official from whom he has with
drawn his confidence, as he plainly has
from Chief Goss. Besides all this Goss
has been clearly guilty of insubordina
ton His references to the raid made by
the mayor and his license INSPECTOR on
the policy joint on Third street were dis
respectful to the point of insult His
charging the mayor with the ownership
of certain premises which for his own
purposes he had pulled was at once false
and malicious. To retain such man at
his post must involve nothing short of
cowardice on the part of the mayor.
AS a Democratic journal the Globe
watches the outcome of the affair with
amused interest. The taxpayers and
property owners, as well as the political
friends of Mayor Kiefer, doubtless view
it from more serious standpoint.

SLASH IN WAGES.
Cut of Between Seventy and Eighty
Per Cent at JOhnstOvvn

JOHNSTOWN, Pa. Aug. I3-What is
probably the record for a big reduction
of wages goes into effect in the structural
department Of the Cambria Steel COM
pany in the morning The reduction
ranges between 70 and SO per cent. The
straighteners of the large beams will
have their wages cut to about So, while
the hold-ups will he paid on a scale that
will average them about S1.50 per day
The Workmen declare that straighteners
had been making an average of $15 or
SIG q day, and that the hold-ups averaged
from $6 to 81 for their work. They claim
that they were not overpaid even at
that rate, for the beams are very heavy
and the work is SO severe on the men
that they can endure it for only few
years. A general strike of the straight
eners and hold-ups In looked for.

THE WEST INDIAN HURRICANE

The great destruction of life and prop
erty in Porto Rico and the adjacent
islands by the recent hurricane is very
deplorable; but the knowledge which the
American people have lately derived of
the conditions of life in those countries
renders it less surprising that it would
otherwise be. So backward is the con-
dition of the people of the West Indies
that neither preparation nor defense
against such an attack of the elements
is possible to them. Great loss of prop
eTty seems to be inevitable in such an
event in those countries; while, with
anything like even the most elementary
understanding of the proper precautions
to take. the loss of life could be made
avoidable
When we contrast the helplessness of
these people with the conditions of
preparation which were made possible
along our own gulf coast as the result of
the precautions of the signal service. we
have reason to be thankful. With proper
observatories established in Porto Rico.
such as even now are maintained in Ma
Mia, the worst effects of such hurricanes
as that section is visited by periodically
can readily be avoided. Indeed it will be-
one Of the first duties of our government
after some reasonable state of order has
been wrought from the discouragine con-
ditions prevailing in our new West In
dian possession, to establish an adequate
signal service
The disastrous effects of these West
Indian hurricanes have long been known.
Without adequate preparation to meet
them they have invariably been followed
and they will continue to be followed nv
such dreadful results as those which be-
fell Porto Rico and the British islands Of
Montserrat Antigua and others, the
total loss of life in which has included
something like one hundred families.
Until the weather bureau is in a posi-
ton to establish something like an eff
! fective service in Porto Rico the only
| good we can do to those poor people is to
send them as speedily and as generous
ly as possible whatever aid we can in
their distress. The response which has
already been made to the call for relief
is worthy of our people The sailing TO-
day of the transport Mcpherson with a.
| full load of supplies will no doubt he

case is desperately urgent With the
water supply of the people cut off and

it will be hard indeed to prevent sore
suffering from starvation Actual famine
is by no means an impossibility unless
relief comes from some closer point than
the vicinity of our own Atlantic coast.
With anything like reasonable sanitary
and social conditions prevailing, of course
no such desperate urgency would exist.
But with the funds at the disposal of the
war department which are already as
sured the proper steps can doubtless be
taken for the shipment from the nearest
available ports of the most essential COM
| modities. In any event it is a gratifying

"Those Wedding Bells"

The home of w. II. Palmer on Jones
street Wednesday afternoon, Sept. 27th
was the scene of a very happy event, it
being the marriage of their daughter,
Addie to William L. Rub. At the ap-
pointed hour, p. m, the guests as
sembled, and while the wedding march
was being played by Miss Mabelle
Moore the bridal party took their po-
sition in the parlor which was hand
somely decorated with plants and
flowers, and the ceremony was per-
formed by Elder j. ii. Patton, of Al
mont, in very able and pleasing
manner.
Miss Laura Reynolds, of Atkins, was
bridesmaid and Chas. Palmer acted as
best man. The bride was attired in
white silk null, carrying a bouquet of
white roses, and the bridesmaid wore
pink and carried pink roses.
After the usual congratulations and
best wishes a delicious lunch was
served, the tables being artistically
decorated with smilaX and pink and
white carnations.
The presents were numerous and
costly, showing the esteem in which the
young people are held by their many
friends. The bride is one of Yale's
most popular young ladies, while the
groom ranks among the leading bus
mess men of our village, being stock
holder in the y ale Milling Co., and en-
ployed as head miller, and we join
with their many friends in wishing
them God speed.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rub drove to Melvin,
accompanied by friends, where they
took the 500 train for Bloomington, Ill,
the groom's old home, for ten days
honeymoon after which they will set
tie in the Granger house on Mechanic
street in this village.
Those from a distance who attended
the wedding were: O. w. Chamberlain
and daughter, of Petrolia, Ont; Mr.
and Mrs. j. w. Gardner, Laura 5. Rey-
nolds, Laura Beard and Alex. COwan,
of Atkins; Geo. MatZen, of CrOswell;
John Staley, Avoca; Nellie Laughed,
Sarnia; viii Palmer, Newberry; Mrs.
Mitchell, Port Huron, and Emma
Bates, of Marlette.
