The American Federation of La
Dor closed a harmonious session at
Detroit, a nine days conference, the
longest in the history of the institu
ton. Strangely enough they pass a
set Of resolutions which say abso-
lutely nothing on the money qnes-
ton. Here is a labor organization
representing 100000 members to
which the money question has ceas-
ed to be an issue. But it is not inn
probable that the strange evasion of
the question accounts for the intense
harmony and the preponderance of
Gompers.

There is a large eXpanse of rolling
sward on Governors island kept at all
times in the pink of condition. This
little island off Battery park is con-
coded to be the best kept army post on
the Atlantic coast. There are two
reasons for this. Fort Columbus Is the
headquarters Of the department of the
east. 1t must assume an appearance
in keeping with Its high standing in
the department.
1t also has a military prison, and the
conyicts sen there for terms Of months
or years are sentenced to hard labor.
Under the supervision of sentinels
these men keep the walks and prone
nades scrupulously clean and the
sward closely clipped and free from
falling leaves and other litter. They
also give proper attention to the vari,
Gus buildings and their immediate sur
roundings.-New York Press.

The delinquent tax list this year
shows $779.T due from property
within the town of Neihart. This is
about s per cent of the total paid by
Neihart. OF this delinquency the
town is entitled to about S27o, the
remainder going to the county and
state. Compared with other years,
this per centage makes a remarkably
good showing, and impresses one
that without the semblance of a
boom these are better times than
existed in the days of '95 and '96.

origin, was discovered last night about 1890
o'clock in the barn of Henry Kahn, rear

car crews. The day was cool and bright
and the streets were thronged. About 5000
members Of labor unions, with fourteen
brass bands. were in the procession.
AS the procession passed the City Hall
signals were given from the sidewalk and
the bands stopped playing and the banners
were lowered until the building was passed.
A man who is declared by Mayor Farley to
be a well-known McKisson politician
stopped band and tried to induce the lead
er to have the Dead March played in
front of the City Hall. The leader refused.
and as result Of the argument the pro-
cession was delayed few minutes. Mayor
Farley claims that the demonstration was
caused by McKisson politicians, who went

suggested the means of showing disap-

Lake Shore engineers have asked that the
present method OF assigning men TO engines
be changed. At present every man follows
a certain engine as long as he can and at
the same time get eight hours rest at each
end OF the run. The new plan proposed Is
to assign men TO runs regardless OF engines
used. taking the men off the list in regular
order. The change is advocated by the
younger men, who think that the present
plan discriminates in favor of the older
men and that the proposed plan would place
all on an equal footing. The older engineers,
however. say that there are more engineers
now than would be necessary under the
new plan and that IL 1t be adopted many
OF the new men will find themselves set
back 10 yard engines or back TO firing.
They also say that the engines will not be
kept in as good condition as now, for no
one engineer will consider IL TO his interest
to keep any engine In ship-shape. 1t Is said
the proposed plan has been tried twice on
the Lake Shore in the last twenty years and
each time was a failure.
