ANOTHER TRAITOR.

Here is what Pingree, the Re
publican Governor of Michigan,
has to say of McKinley's war policy:
"What is your opinion of the
war in the Philippines ?" asked a
correspondent.
1T is inhuman," promptly re-
piled the Governor, "and should
be stopped. 1t Will cost the Re-
publican party the Presidential
election next year. The admins.
tration has 80 committed itself to
the Philippine war that 1T cannot
'recede now and hold the respect of
the country. 1t seems to be case
where the administration cannot
retreat, and it also appears that it
ls making little advance. | think
the administration would like to
ind way to let 60, but that can
not now be done with dignity.
Even McKinley's two-spot, Bur
rows, says that the Philippine war
means the election of a Democratic
President next year.
"The war against Spain for Gu
ban liberty was oil right and for
humanity's sake, but the war
should have ceased when Spain was
driven out Of Cuba. 1t is nothing
short of crime to wage war against
the Filipinos, who are struggling
for their liberty the slme as this
country did over century ago.
"The Republican party, COM
United as il ID to trusts, imperial
ism and the Philippine war, / can
see nothing for it but an over
whelming defeat next year and the
election Of a Democratic President
and House OF Representatives"

JUDGE WHITE
vi Pittsbnrg, Hands Down an Impor.
tant Decision Regarding Labor
Unions and Their Rights

PlTTSBURG. Pa, Oct. 31.-An
important decision WIS handed
down to-day by Judge White, of
the county courts, against Labor
Unions, and the case was one which
caused great deal of comment IN
labor circles all over the country.
q. ID. Flaccus, a glass manufac-
turer of Tarentum, Pa, brought
SUIT against the officers of The
American Flint Glass Workers
Union TO prevent them from Undue
ing the apprentices of the plaintiff
to join the Union.
The decision holds that the PLAIN
tiff has right to operate his fac
tory independent of the Union and
that the defendants have no right
to persuade his appren tices to be-
come members of their organization.
Referring to alleged rules OF
Trades Unions which prevent "A
young man from learning a trade
without the consent of the Union,
the Judge says:
such rules and regulations of
these Trades Unions strike at the
first principles of personal liberty
in a free country; they are oppres :
slve and tyrannical; they are pal
pably unjust to individuals, dan
gerous to the peIce and good order
Of society"

ENGLANDS AGGRESsIONS IN
SOUTH AFRICA

The aggressions had been wholly
on England's part. A hypotheti.
Cal parallel will illustrate the
point. We have lately been dis
cusslng the matter of boundary
line between our Alaskan coast
strip and Canada. Let us suppose
That while the negotiations were
pending We had, without the least
pretense of covering up our plans
or intentions, informed the world
that we were protracting the nego-
gotiations simply in order to give
us time to put 100000 men along
the Canadian boundary line, our
entire navy bong held in readiness
to occupy Canadian seaports. Our
next step would be to repudiate
and break off pending negotiations.
and then to formulate wholly
new set Of territorial claims, with
various other demands upon
Canada as to tariffs and the like.
II these claims were not instantly
admitted, our programme would
be to attack Canada all along the
line In order to abate or avenge
the grievances of our fellow.
Americans in the Klondike and
other districts. The idea is to
be amplIfed further. Yet this is
exactly the way in which England
mas been carrying on what she has
been pleased to call "negotiations"
with the Transvaal. The inten
ton was either to secure the con.
sent OF the Transvaal Government
to English dictatlon in matters of
internal policy or else-what was
really hoped for by some who are
influential in the shaping of British
policy-to provoke the Beers into
lighting for their rights, which
would give England the desired
opportunity to take their country.
This last thing is what has han
pened.
