A Standing Army

want my readers to bear in mini
that l now say that the Republican
party has fastened a large standing
I'm on the country. 1t is now an
acc nlplished fact; the army will
never grow less in the United States.
When the civil war ended, the dread
OF the country was the army, and the
question on every lip was what will
the government do with the army?"
Lincoln .disbanded 900, 900 in one day,
practically, but Lincoln is dead. The
great trusts Of the country, knowing
Of their ill-gotten wealth and arrogant
exercise Of power, and owning and
controlling the government, will never
consent 10 the reduction of the army.
We are going to live under a military
power. Who knows but that the war
is being prolonged for the very par
pose OF increasing the army? General
Anderson says he could have ended
the wal in a few weeks if Otis had
left him alone, and says that General
Lawton could have done. the same
thing if left alone. Who knows bu'
that Otis could have ended it also

The President Appealed TO by Muir

AT the request of the Attorney General,
Assistant District Attorney Shillington has
prepared report in the case of William
Kesley Reed, colored, who was convicted

relatives have appealed to President Nc
Kinley for a Communication of the sentence
For the purpose of assisting the President
in his decision Mr.. Shillington was request
ed TO compile summary of the testimony
adduced at the trial.
Reed was convicted of the murder of
Elizabeth Logan, also colored, and the
jury, while returning a verdict of guilty,
recommended the prisoner to the mercy
of the court According to the act of Con
gress empowering juries in capital cases
to qualify their verdicts so as to warrant
the trial judge in imposing a sentence of
imprisonment for life instead of the
death penalty, particularly specified in
what language this should be done This
not having been done, the recommendation
of the jury for mercy was not considered
by Justice Clabaugh, who presided at the
trial, and who imposed the death SEN
tence.
Al the trial the defence put in a plea
Of hereditary insanity, and large number
of witnesses who knew Reed from boyhood
! testified that he not only acted strange
ly az times, but also that several of his
near relatives had died insane, and that
others are now confined in institutions for
the care of the insane.

As a result of the discussion at the meeting
of the Central Labor Union on Monday night OF
the protest Of the Maehinists' Union against the
action OF the International Typographical Union,
compelling linotype machinists TO Join the last
named organization, the following resolution
was adopted by an overwhelming majority
..That we. the delegates from the various trades
unions OF Washington To the Central Labor
Union. which is now in regular session, do most
vigorously protest and condemn the action Of
the international Typographical Union in com
neIling the linotype machinists (who are meIn-
bers OF the International Association of Ma
chinists) into joining the International Typo
graphical Union. thereby breaking down the
lines Of trade autonomy by coercing those not Of
their trade into their membership, and by such
action the International typographical Union
has shown plainly that il has drifJed far from

gress Of June 80, 1898, which fixes the
rates chargeable for telephone service in

tor, has been awarded the contract for the
monument to be erected 10 the memory of the
late Senator Vance of North Carolina by the
people OF that State. Mr. Elleotts design was

remarkably fine. Mr.. Ellieott states that the
report that certain sculptors in New York had
were going to make protest against the
award being given to him erroneous. and
that such thing their part had never been
contemplated so far as he knew, as the award.

were none to protest against the award being

Lieutenant Kelly VIII Remain.

Since the escape OF Lewis leager from Wit
ness room at the Sixth precinct station several
days ago and the subsequent investigation made
by Major sylvester to determine the respunsi-
bility Tor the affair, has been rife as
to the probable outcome OF the matter 1t
stated that in all probability, Lieutenant Kelly
would be retired, and that a similar fate would
overtake Patrol Office Oliver. No announcement
of the intention of Major Sylvester in the matter
has been made public yet. but it is inferred
from what can be learned from a reliable source
that Lieutenant Kelly will not be retired. As far
as Patrol Officer Oliver is concerned he has
seen a long and efficient service, and is entitled
TO retirement This fact, when taken into con
sideration with the matter referred to, makes
it appear more than probable that Oliver will
he retired. Another fact which appears TO have
been settled upon is the transfer Of Patrol Of
fcer Mansfield to street duty.
