The most IMPORTANT recent political
development is the action of the Central
Labor Union on the subject of Philip
pine annexation. The labor unions of
New York are opposed to annexation
They have no sympathy with imperial
ism: They have taken their stand
aeainst the so-called expansion. 1t is
useless for the friends of Mckinley to
argue with them on the subject They
will fight arv movement which means
the establishment of a large standing
army. Should Bryan come to New
York to hold an anti-annexation meet
ing he would receive an enthusiastic
greeting from the wage earners of the
metropolis. Political development here
is not in the direction of imperialism
Society finds its topic of the moment
in the forthcoming marriage of young
w. H. Vanderbilt with Miss Virginia
Fair.
Those who are sticklers for the old
arlstocratic lines of the East find in the
prospective union a startling innoya-
ton. The Vanderbilts represent fam
lily somewhat remotely removed from
the plebeian who laid the foundation of
the family fortune. Miss Fair comes
direct from the scenes of parental
struggles. The Vanderb:lts have rea ched
the sixth stage in the line of progress
sion which leads to the seventh heaven
of aristocratic idleness; Miss Fairs
ethereal wings have hardly sprouted
She is still bright and robust with the
spirit of the West. The name of Van
derbilt has taken the velvety softness
of seasoned luxury: the name of Fair
is clamorous with the bedlam of the
mining camp.
1t is true that the Fairs entered the
400 through the marriage of the elder
daughter with Oelrichs, but who would
have predicted that in this generation
the houses of Fair and Vanderbilt
would have been united?
VINO would have expected so soon to
see the house of Jim Fair linked with
that of Marlborough? Nevada adven-
ture united with English titledom: row
atty with democracy: Blenheim with
virginia City; the coronet with the
pick: baccarat with poker.

Creek Nation CnunciI.

The National council of the Greek
Nation, which met at Okmulgee in
extraordinary session March Is,
acted with its usual expedition and
wisdom in transacting its business.
The committee appointed 10 count
the vote on the ratification of the
last agreement, after three days
wrangling, submitted a report to the
council stating that about forty
towns had voted, and asking if it
would not be better to allow all the
towns a chance to vote. After a
days discussion the council passed
a resolution directing the chief tc
call a new election on the treaty.
The votes were not opened, so it is
not known what the result would
have been. 1t is the prevailing idea
that another vote will result in the
failure of the treaty.
The chief has issued a proclama-
ton calling on the voters to meet at
their respective precincts on May 1,
1899, and vote on the ratification OF
the agreement.
Council to count the votes on the
agreement has been called for the
9th of May, 1899.
