TYPOTHETAE NOT UNIoNIs1
Against odiciai Recognition of rrint-
ers Unions and Use of the
Union Label.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Sept. 14.-Today's s
business session OF the United Typothetae
of America developed a heated discussion
OF the question involving recognition Of
union labor and before the hour Of ad-
jurnment had arrived the Typothetae had
gone on record as generally opposed TO on
cial recognition OF typographical unions.
The discussion was precipitated by the
Recommendation OF one OF the subcommt-
tees that the executive committee OF the
Typothetae be constituted arbtrators in
case of a dispute with a committee from
the Typographical union. A. II. Pugh OF
Cincinnati, o., was the first speaker to de-
clare against this resolution. He stated that
he was a nonunion printer and opposed en-
phatically to recognition OF union labor
as suggested He claimed that the recon-
mendations OF the committee constituted
concessions to the labor union which were
entirely unwarranted.
Ex-Congressman ]. J. Little OF New York
favorde the resolution on the ground that
1t displayed only spirit OF fairness. Mr..
Little was followed by Robert j. Morgan
OF Cincinnati, who strongly seconded the
position OF MIR. Pugh. Other speakers ad-
dressed the convention and finally the reso-
luton was stricken out.
Another resolution "discountenancing the
use of union labels" was adopted almost
unanimously.

1t has been seriously proposed IN
California to quarantine against con-
sumptives, and the idea has caused
much adverse criticism among the
medical profession. On top of this
comes the plan to put incorrigible Grim
inals to death, as the best method OF
ending their unlawful careers and OF
saving the State expense and society
from danger.
This proposition savors a good deal
of barbarism, and there is not the re-
hottest danger that it will ever be car
ried into effect. To be sure there are
those who argue that persons suffering
from certain forms of disease, incor-
rigible criminals, degenerates, etc.,
should be summarily wiped out OF ex-
istence in the interests of the good and
healthy, but the idea is one utterly re-
pugnant to the overwhelming major
ity of mankind. The leper and con-
sumptive are just as deserving of care
from their fellow men as the insane.
and even though a man may be a crimi-
nal without hope of reform, it is far
better to confine him to a cell than to
a coffin. The death penalty is a nee
essary punishment for some forms of
crime, but it does not prevent crime, as
past records abundantly demonstrate.
There was a time, for instance, in
England, when something like two
hundred and sixty crimes were pun
ishable with death, but there were
many times more criminals then. than
now. Now we have only to meet out
capital punishment to murderers, raw
ishers and those guilty of arson under
certain circumstances, not in the ex-
pectation that it will deter future law
less acts along these lines, but in the
hope Of making the punishment fit
the crime" Californians who advocate
the ideas mentioned will simply have
their trouble for their pains. The fag
end of the nineteenth century is an in
opportune time for such projects.

MORE CIVIL

The exigencies of the Republican sit
uation in Ohio has caused the man
agement of the grand old party of
Pharisaical tendencies to distribute a
circular among the clerks and other
Office holders, in which they are told
they are expected to contribute to the
campaign fund, in defiance of the letter
and spirit of the civil service law. In
fact the circular goes so far as to ex-
plain how the provisions of the law
may be avoided by the clerks making a
voluntary contribution to a designat-
ed person not an Office holder.
This smacks of the old times with a
vengeance. Of course the clerks will
take the hint and fork over. To re-
fuse or refrain from doing so will mean
their dismissal from service pom some
pretext or another, and they we'll know
this. A copy of this circular and the
civil service reform plank of the st.
Louis platform should be printed side
by side, for the information of voters.
