UNION MUST KEEP OFF.

Judge j. w F. White of Pittsburg has
decided for the plaintiff in the case of

he has an absolute right to choose his
trade or vocation, or engage in any law
full business, and no person, association
or organization has a right to hinder or
interiors with him. The rules and regu-
lations of the, union were made only for

the first principles of personal liberty In

city for the convention. 1t is probable
that the democratic national conven-
ton will be held in Chicago again next
year, so we may expect that the two
great conventions will be held in the
same hall at different times. The re-
publican national convention probably
will be held first, and will renominate
President Mckinley. The work of the
convention ought not to take more
than two or three days. The demo-
cratic national convention probably
win be in session several days before
deciding upon candidates and plat

good husband as mine. Then | see what
he's giving me, and sometimes it's lovely
belt OF new chatelane, or a fancy scarf.

me for being cross in the morning"
