Tnrsrs AND wAGEs.

A.. Now that the great political parties have
practically decided to make war on trusts
II may be interesting TO inquire whether
the labor vote is In sympathy with this
war The statement is made, how nearly
correct il is we are unable to say because
no statistics showing the facts are avail
able. that trusts have very generally adj
vanced wages. If that is the case the
labor vote will not take deep interest
in the fight against trusts.
Mr.. 7. V. Powderly. formerly leader Of
the Knights OF Labor, in an address at
Pittsburg last Tuesday night before
great labor organization, TOOK quite de
cjded stand for trusts. He said that he
was the organizer of the first trust IN
this country-a trust of the New Eng
land shoe manufacturers-for the purpose
Of maintaining prices and that labor reap
ed its share of the benefit Tie took the
ground that labor is a trust so long as
If sticks together He further stated that
labor was in a better condition to-day
than It has ever been. He didn't say that
this good condition was due 70 trusts, but
the inference from what he said was that
labor has nothing to fear from trusts
and much to expect from them.
If the position taken by Mr. Powderly
is justified by the facts there will be
some hesitation among political leaders
when the time comes for making plat
forms. TO condemn trusts without some
reservation. The labor vote is of such
PROPORTIONS that it must be considered
and If it isn't against trusts there will be
disposition to hedge a little in framing
platform declarations against them.
But why shouldn't trusts be as relent-
less in dealing with labor as with the
public? The great combinations whicf
have been formed have dismissed thous'
ands of statesmen and tens of thousands
of wage earners, having closed many
factories. Il may be true that as

JONES OF TOLEDO.

Mayor Jones of Toledo, o., is of the
opinion that he has a great mission in this
world. He is doing his utmost 70 fill the
newspapers with his ideas of the reforms
which should be inaugurated for the good
of the human race. There isn't question
before the public conc erning which he
hasn't had something to say within the
last few weeks.
Recently he has been devoting his time
10 trusts He has been telling the world
how he would deal with them if he had
the power. Government ownership, ma
tional, state and municipal, is his remedy
for about every kind of trust evil. If
talking would accomplish everything
Mayor Jones would have the country
turned upside down within the next thir-
ty days.
But isn't Mayor Jones one of those men
who talk a great deal and accomplish
nothing? Isn't he a theoretical, rather
than a practical sort of a person? We in
fer so from some things which we see in
The newspapers. For instance, it is pub
Hshed that the streets of Toledo are in a
very filthy condition-so filthy that the
Toledo newspapers are all the while call
ing attention to them. The city owns
the streets, and yet it doesn't seem to
know how to care for them properly. If
Toledo owned the street railroads within
her limits, would they be any more salts
factory to the people than the streets
are? The chances are they wouldn't, If
Mr.. Jones were Mayor And there IS al
ways a probability that the office of
Mayor of Toledo or of any other city win
be occupied by just such a man as Mayor
Jones appears to be. That is the reason
that municipal ownership isn't any more
popular than it is
Mayor Jones is much like those women
reformers who are SO fun of philanthropy
and high purposes that they haven't time
to look after their own households. and
who think it of more Importance to dis
tribute tracts among those who are sup
posed to be without their share of religion
than 10 keep the faces of their children
Clean or to sew buttons on their husbands
shirts. The homes of such women are
not the abodes of happiness, and the cities
which have for Mayors such men as Jones
Of Toledo feel that they are afflicted
rather than blessed. Men Of the Mayor
Jones kind get to The front sometimes
! because the people are deceived in them
but they don't stay there. The people
soon get enough Of them and their re-
forms.

'I don't care to mention Names" said
visitor from New Jersey, according to the

to keep their mouths shut and wair.
I'm few months the trust was organ
lied, according to programme, and one
day a bland agent dropped in and offered
him a fair price for his plant. He said he
didn't care to sell. The trust thereupon
proceeded to put on the screws in the
usual fashion. In other words they cut
rates but, strange to say the little wheel
maker didn't seem to care. Then they
made another and much larger cut, with
the intention of freezing him out at one
fell swoop.

7~cToX,s REFoRNATORY.

Mr. C p. Huntington, the railway mag
nate has purchased a large tract OF lai'u
in Virginia. near Richmond upon "hit1
ho n,onoses 10 erect a reformatory for ne
GRO children. There is now no such lnst-
milton in the state. All persons convicted
in tho Courts are herded together in the
prisons without discrimination as to co-or
or age. There are said to be in the Viz
einia tails at the present time not less
than 5000 negro juvenile prisoners IL Is
hut a short step from the streets Where
many Of the young negroes lVe' mo the

ington's philanthropic purpose 10 put
barrier in the way of the easy progress
sion of the young negroes from the streets
to states prison, and to try 10 REFORM
them before they become hardened IN
criminal ways. 1t seems that he mas de-
termined to devote the reformatory to the
hlacl, race because that race furnishes
about three-quarters of the criminals
making it clear that it is in greater heed
Of the aid of an elevatng influence than
the white race. This question of races
however. may force upon the state of Nir-
otnie the necessity of building for herself
a reformatory for whites, in the event OF
the acceptance of Mr.. Hunungton's
scheme. since the Old Dominion would
hardly continue to herd her white juven-
lie prisoners with al manner of convicts
in the iai}s while the negro juveniles were
cared for in a reformatory school.
II is not yet quite clear upon what plan
it is proposed that the Huntington reform

at the same time be operated as a part
of the states penal establishment. Pre-
sumably there is some Virginia Jaw under
which the youthful convicts of one partic-
ular race could be turned over to pri-
vate corporation, since it is reported Gov,
TYLER has said he would arrange for negro
Juveniles to be consigned to the proposed
reformatory.
The reformatory is to embrace school
of elementary English, and schools in
which useful trades, such as carpenter
ing, bricklaying, plastering, painting
blacksmithing, etc, will be taught. Thus
the young violators of the law will not
