CHICAGO BRICK MAKERS OUT

Their Strike May Result In General Tie
Up Of building Operations in the City.
CHICAGO, July u.s. Officials of or
ganized labor here declare the brick
makers strike is liable TO precipitate a
general walking out Of the building
trades unions with forces $4,000 strong,
thus tying up building operations in
the city.
Committees from the brickmakers'
alliance began their work to-day.
Armed with instructions from the
building trades council. they invaded
buildings in various stages Of construc-
ton. and where non-union brick was
being used, ordered the union men to
cease work The brickmakers demand
not only an increase in wages, but the
recognition of the Brickmakers' Union.
The employers against whom the move
ment is directed preserve stolid front
of indifference.
What success the strikers will have
in their efforts to call out other
branches of the building trades will
not be determined until the various
unions have held meetings to consider
the matter.

4 Model Quayite.

Pittsburg Post
A model Republican citizen Of the
better class" OF. the Quay reformer
type has just been committed to jail
in Philadelphia for the light offense OF
voting 81 times at the election last
November. When arrested he admit
ted the crime and declared that he had
voted in 81 districts on names register
ed in those districts. That va S one of he
ways Stones plurality over George A.
jerks was piled up. And, it is to be
added, Stone has shown an appreciation
OF this kind of knavery by vetoing a
constitutional amendment aiming to
prevent it. The registration lists OF
Philadelphia are the monumental
frauds of American politics, and are
precisely to Governor Stones taste. The
one professional repeater who voted 81
times for Stone last November was
type of hundreds engaged in the same
business.

WELL. WELL.

An eastern journal has begun in adj.
vance of the success of Mr.. McKinley'sl
war of conquest in the Philippines to-
advocate the teaching of the Malay
tongue in our leading colleges. lt'
points out that Malay is spoken bys
40, 000, 900 people, and is of great i'm
portance to us since our recent alleged
acquisitions of South Sea island terri,
tory, meaning, chiefly, the Philippines,
which we have purchased" of Spain
for SAC, 900 900, to be sure, but which We
have hardly acquired" as yet.
Malay is rudlmentary tongue. Like,
the Chinese it is without grammar, all
that is necessary in acquiring it being
to learn the substantives 1t is mostly
collection of nouns and is weak, defic-
lent and expressionless.
For students of language, faddists, or
those who have plenty of time in this
world, the study of Malay may be all
right enough, but the Introduction of it
DIS d part VI the VI OuI llSH-
er institutions OF learning would be of
very doubtful wisdom. Not one person
in a thousand would derive any direct
benefit from it.
Our tongue is the English tongue,
and the people of our South Sea pos
sessions, when we get them, will have
to master it. Wherever the Stars and
Stripes fly there English must be
taught and taught free.
English is good enough for most Am
stead of perpetuating mongrel tongues
such as Malay.

PORT AU PRINCE, July 2S.-There was
another meeting yesterday of the credit
ors of the government to consider PROPOSE
tions made to them last Tuesday for the

out any definite decision having been
reached. The government will now make
new propositions to the creditors.
KINGSTON Jamaica, July 2S.-Private

had despaired of accomplishing a perma-
nent basis of financial prosperity under
present conditions 1t is added that the
creditors have determined to agitate for an
American protectorate to which end they
are willing to drive the country into hope
less bankruptcy and invite the necessary
American capital to extricate the country
from it's embarra ssments.

REDWOOD.

Town Council met last night in spe-
cial session and settled the telephone
controversy and the paving accounts
with Contractor Day. The total paw
ing bill came to $5,012.55; 800 had al
$3.512.55 still due AS the work has
been very satisfactory the bill was or
dered paid. The work on Pike street,
the contract for which was also secur-
ed by Contractor Day, will be started
and pushed forward rapidly. This
work; when completed, will make a
paved street nearly to McMechen. The
telephone matter was the only other
business of Importance before the meet
ing. After some discussion it was fin
ally agreed upon that the company
should be granted the privilege Of
placing poles on Eighth street, upon the
condition that the company employ a
surveyor at their own cost to deter
mine the correct positions of the poles.

PRESERVE. THE CiTY'S RIGHTS.


Whatever may have been its .actu-
ating influences. Council did well in'
defeating the Peoples Railway ordin-'
ance, since the promoters of that en-
rights in the matter or to give any
COMPENSATION for the very valuable
franchise and privileges asked. As the
Register has before remarked, the day
when these valuable charters were,
given away to private corporations fort
the mere asking has passed in all pro-
gressive communities. The people are
demanding a price for the great privi--
leges conferred on these public monop-'
stepping stone to the ideal system OF
municipal ownership of public utili-
ties.
The victory in this Instance. how
ever, is but the first gun of the battle.
The real struggle is yet to come.
Meanwhile, it will not be long untill
a new franchise is sought by the pres,
ent street car company. Doubtless it,
will endeavor to get renewal OF it's
present valuable charter from the city
without cost or concession to the peO-
pie.
1t should, in that case, be dealt with
precisely as was the Peoples Railway
Company.
Council should emphatically refuses
a renewal of its present charter with
out a cash consideration paid into the
city treasury, bonus to the city of so
much per mile of its track within the
receipts, or all of these combined. 1t
should, moreover, being a public ser
want, place the regulation of its
charges and the quality of its service
in the hands of the public. If the
company deems these conditions too
hard, let the city bid the company
good bye, keep the charter as the prop
erty of the municipality and perform
this public service itself as it now sup
plies water, lights the streets and fur
nishes gas to the people.
Wheeling was the pioneer of mu-
nicipal ownership. OF late years bad
and corrupt municipal management has
well nigh caused the ruin of our once
very prosperous gas plant; but as it
stands, lily managed and handicapped
thought it may be, what citizen would
vote for a return to control of our mu-
nicipal gas plant by private money
making monopoly?
Municipal ownership of all public
utilities is bound to come in the long
run. 1t is the only logical solution of
the great problems now confronting
municipal government Wheeling be-
gan right many years ago, but stopped
short in the reform and since, through
bad management of corrupt politicians.
has come perilously near to abandoning
it altogether.
Meanwhile. pending municipal owner
ship, no public charter should be
granted any private corporation in
this city without proper quid pro quo
on the lines the Register has sug-
gested.

Persistent Advertising
Brings Success.
DEFENDING rHr trusts.


Senator Allison, the quadrennial pre-
\. sidential candidate, has come to the
front in belated interview in which
he denies that the Republican monop-
oily tariff policy is the mother of trusts.
He also denies from his comfortable
summer quarters at Narragansett Pier
that trusts will be an issue in the cam
paign next year.
AS to this latter assertion we would
\ beg leaye to remind Mr.. Allison that
no man nor any one party, for that
matter, can limit the issues of a cam
paign.
PROFESSIONALLY if Mr.. Allson's party
managers, especially if the present
trust owned and controlled admins
ration had the making of the issues of
thu next campaign the trusts would not
bey an issue. There is nothing sllrer
that that. But unfortunately for the
Mckinley Hanna regime they can t
prevent the Democracy from making
the trusts an issue and most promin-
ent one.
Upto date the party of the trusts has
always made a faint pretense along
about campaign times of opposing these
combinations in restraint of legitimat e
trade, and has introduced a little loose
buncombe into its platforms, which
IKE trusts all know means
absolutely nothing-like the anti
trust law" But that is the
full extent of the Republican managers
opposition to the trusts-all of which is
natural since for 10 these many years
che trusts have been the only contrib
utors to the Republican campaign
fund. After the campaign is past
the Republican managers have invari-
ably assisted the formation of trusts
by favorable legislation in Congress
and in those States where the same
managers controlled the official machin-
cry. And that party has always been
VIGOROUSLY blind to the trusts viola
items of the law.
But issue-making is one industry
that has not yet gone into trust and
therefore the Democracy will make
trusts the most prominent issue of the
next campaign and the American peo-
pie will be behind it.
Six and one-half millions of voters
condemned the party of the trusts at
the polls in 1896 and these same voters
will condemn these unlawful combines
in 1900 together with hundreds of
thousands of others who have since had
their eyes opened
Yes, trusts will be an issue and a
prominent one, next year, whether the
trust owned politicians at Washing
ton like it or not.
