Oh, yo-heave-ho and ship ahoy!
And douse your starboard keel,
And let us all in shouts of Joy
Our sentiments reveal.
Let's splice the spinnaker once more,
And swab the maintop brace
And blast our eyes from shore to shore
Columba's won a racei
Oh, dash our tarry toplights. while
We paint the blooming town.
Well batten up the sails in style
And clew the matches down.
Wen huff the anchor once again,
With light and airy grace,
And carol still the glad refrain,
Columbia's won race.

A BRIGHT PROSPECT.

Labor day in this section of the country
was never brighter than was yesterday. 1t
might have been rather hot for marching,
but otherwise 1T was an ideal day. The re-
ports indicate that never have so many
men participated in the exercises of Labor
day as yesterday. If what was seen in this
locality was noted elsewhere no body of
men appearing on the streets ever gave
greater evidence Of prosperity than cid the
labor unions which turned out yesterday
and yet there are men who fill certain pa
pers and magazines with jeremiads declar-
ing that the condition of labor is growing
more HOPELESS with the passing years.
Probably If all the addresses delivered yes
terday were printed demagogues and
cranks would be shown to have made
speeches bewailing the hard conditions Of
the wage-earner and recommending RENE
dies which would involve society in chaos.
Some OF the same men who three years ago
told labor unions that If their nostrums
were not adopted as remedies wages would
be reduced and greater suffering than was
then experienced would befall them doubt
less repeated these assertions. Why do in
telligent wage-earners, who now know that
these men are false prophets, listen longer
to them?
The one thing upon which wage-earners
could congratulate themselves yesterday is
that the future for them was never so
bright. Employment was never so general
nor were wages ever higher. Some of the
necessaries of life are a little higher than
year ago, but the advance is more than
made good by constant employment and an
advance in wages. No one can tell accurate
ly Of the future, but all the indications point
to a year Of unusual success for wage
earners. The demand for the products of
labor and capital is marvellous. Three years
ago 1t would not have been believed to be
possible that there could be such a demand
for the chief products of the country Then,
with a little more than half Of the output
Of pig iron, stocks were accommodating. Now,
with almost a double output, there is not
enough to meet the demand. The country
Is absorbing quantity of the products of
the factory and the shop that seems in
credible in the light Of three years ago.
This is because the farmer is getting bet
ter prices, which enables him to purchase
more freely. while his ability to purchase
more gives larger employment to labor in
factories. Because of the larger volume
Of wages and Of the larger receipts of the
farmer all producers reap some advantage.
While labor meetings were addressed by
men who repeated the heresies of three
years ago regarding silver the intelligent
and thinking wage-earner can but admit
that his prosperity came after the Repub-
lican success of 1896 and with the defeat of
the free coinage Of silver. Whatever such
men may do in politics hereafter they must

Captain Oberlin NJ. Carter of the en-
gineer corps, is under sentence of court
martial for being engaged in a conspiracy
with contractors TO defraud the government
of large sum Of money. and some of his
friends are endeavoring to show that he is
the victim of army prejudice or political
combination. One defender, whose name is
not given, has discovered that Captain
Carter was unpopular while in the Military
Academy at West Point, from which he was
graduated in 1880. His unpopu-arity is al
legged to be due to his high rank in his class
and his general bearing toward his asso-
ciates. If the court-martial was composed
of men Of his own class or of classes in
the academy while he was there it is bare
ly. and just barely. possible that such men,
bers might have held a grudge eighteen
late their oaths to convict him, but it Is
not remotely probable. 1t is safe to add
that not classmate of Captain Carriers
could have been member Of the court, for
the reason that none of them could have
been his superior in rank. 1t is not possible
that his classmates could have Influenced
men who had been years in The service
when Captain Carter entered the army.
The story which will attract most at
tention is that of one of his counsel, Mr..
Frank p Blair, who says that Captain
Carter made enemies of the dealers OF the
company that has been trying to get Con-
gress to place the construction Of the Mica
rs
states that Carter said, in a speech after
he was named as one of the commission Of
engineers. that he would go To the 5cttom
OF the matter, and that after that speech
he was assigned 10 another duty am sub
sequently called to answer to the charges
on which he has been convicted. II Carter
made such speech 1t was an implicat ion
that his elder and able associates i'm the
commission would not investigate, but be-
fore the charges were preferred against him
the commission had been appointed. so that
there could be no motive to get rid of him.
The report which the commission made did
not lead Congress to give the construction
and control of the canal over to Warner
Millers company or to pay that company a
large sum of money for its claim. Even
II Captain Carter were Objectionable TO the
officers of the Warner Miller company. 1t
Is not probable that II could have infiu-

against Captain Carter, TO be approved by
