"A Private Army.

The railroad employees Of the state
of Indiana will perhaps not be in a
position to demonstrate against the
next wage reduction. There has been
introduced, by member Of the senate,
presumably at the request of the rail-
way corporations, bill which provides
for the arming of hired thugs and
''loyar' employees during strike.
Should this bill become a law, and the
employees of road strike against wage
reduction, the company would imme-
diately hire and equip an army OF
thugs to shoot and Kill right and left.
Another bill has been introduced in
this state in addition to this corpora
ton army bin. It is an effort to foist
upon railway employees of the state of
Indiana law depriving them of the
rights of citizen in suits for damages
sustained by personal injuries. The
bill is in the blind Of relief associa.
ton, that is to be legalized in all of it's
pharisical philanthropy. The bill gives
the right to the railw~y companies to
create and maintain relief associations,
and gives the right to employers to
participate therein, and then makes it
impossible for beneficiary of such
relief association to recover damages
from the employing company for per-
sonal injuries.

Carter Harrison Jr., has been re-
elected mayor Of Chicago. Ex-Gover-
nor John =. Altgeld was a candidate
for the same office and in speaking OF
his defeat and the election of Mr.. Har-
rison, he said:
Gone reason for the election of Mr..
Harrison was that the press supported
him almost without exception and the
great Republican papers were on his
side. Why did the Republican papers
support Harrison? The reason is not
hard to find. They saw that Mr.. Har-
rison had already betrayed the Demo-
cratic party as he had it in his power
to do, and he will carry the betrayal
a great deal further and thus make
the reelection of Mckinley a certain
ty. The Republicans look on this fight
as the battle of 1900 and feel that the
reelection Of Mr.. Harrison already
seals the result of the next presidential
campaign

Australia seems to be keeping the
lead which it took several years ago
in the direction Of government owner
ship of public monopolies. Among the
measures now before parliament Me-"
South Wales is one for the establish
me Mt of national collieries sufficient to
supply the requirements of the gov
ernment service. The experience OF
the city of Sidney with tramways UNI
der city ownership has been remark
able, even from the point Of view OF
profits to the city. In 1883 these tram
ways paid less than two per cent, while
in 1898 the net profit was more than
five and half per cent. Official in
ouiry now under way in New South
Wales is directed to establish as far as
possible the relations between wage:
and rents. The result of this inquiry
is likely to have an important effect
on the demand for increased wages.
1t is estimated that the average de
duction from laborer's income for
rent, amounts to twenty-five per cent
in Australia. The proportion is about
the same in this country, and very little
reflection will serve to show that this
proportion must be regarded as excess
i've The balance must be struck, and
if it cannot be arrived at by reduction
of rents, it must be met by an in
crease of wages.

Thursday evening special meeting
CT the Trades and Labor Assembly was
held in the Hammond block for the
purpose of discussing the early closing
movement with the retail merchant
and the clerks Quite number Of
prominent merchants were present and
the situation was thoroughly gone ove:'
although nothing definite was agreed
upon.
For some time it has been the rue
OF the majority of the staorekeepers
to close at 6:3O with the exception Of
two nights in the week. This is ac-
ceptable to the clerks but the mer~
chants want all the stores to do the
same and this is where the trouble
lies.
The stores in the lower portion Of
the town are the ones that are caus-
ing all the trouble at the present time.
Some of the stores on lower Tower
close at the early hour. but many 9th
ers do not and the attempt is now
being made to have them all close. Th"
merchants who do close early lose a
great deal of business when the othe:
stores keep open late, and it seems
that if one store is open the others
must be or lots of the trade is lost.
As general thing the merchants
are nleased with the GOOD work done
by the clerks under the early closing

By s, Goodwin .

A certain Mr.. Daggett, of Bear Creek,
Wisconsin, and incidentally member
of the legislature for that state, has
made bold bid for fame by the intro
duction of a joint resolution looking to
the prohibition of tight lacing. He
proposes a commission to be made up
of three members of the assembly and
one Of the senate to draft and intro
duce a bill prohibiting tight lacing.
Mr.. Daggett says he is serious about
the matter, and intends to push it to
a successful end.
If there were no other than the hum
orous side of this question, it mi ght be
in order to inquire just how the peace
officers were II find which Of the ladies
in their respective districts were laced
beyond the proper degree of tight
ness and how said officers were to pro.
coed in case a victim were ever found
bold enough to defy the mandates OF
the law? This, however, is question
of too much gravity to be so treated, IL
touches very near to the fundamentals
of our government. All are agreed
that this is crisis in our national
history, the problems before our law
makers, both foreign and domestic,
were never graver, and if at a time
like this the working out of our instl
tutions entrusts the responsibilities OF
legislation to men of the calbre OF
Daggett, from Bear Creek, we may we'll
question the soundness of those insti-
tutions. Far be it from us to decry
the Importance Of the buffoon. He has
always had his part to play in history
and probably always will, but we cam
not help regret that any Of the tribe
should appear in the conduct Of any
portion of our public affairs at so inn
portant time.

People of advanced ideas of all creeds

Such fakirs as Bradstreet's and Dun's
so-called commercial agencies must
take the people Of this country to be
fools-to use plain language. In their
made-to-order reports" Of the presen,
day they see great prosperity spread
ing it's wings over the whole country,
fand all on account of the Republican
tariff and the Republican gold stand
ard and Confidence" In their flights
of foolishness they say that the great
prosperity of the present time is equal
to that of 1892-and here is where they
certainly take the people to be fools, it
they wish to convey the idea that there
was any great prosperity for the peo-
pie in 1892. Bradstreet's reports for
that year show business failure
amounting to $114,0OO,OO0. It was dur
ing that year that numerous strikes
and lockouts and reductions of wages
occurred, and many laborers were
brutally murdered by Pinkerton thugs.
The great Homestead strike occurred
also during that year Of so-called pros
