Five steel saws, each half an inch
wide and about IA inches long, were
found on the person Of Frank Dayton,
the desperate young criminal who shot
John Kimball in the arm on Tuesday
night while attempting to hold him up
Dayton was captured in neryy man
ner by Sam Russell, and was taken to
the city Jail. Before being incarcerat-
ed. he was searched by the police, but
as developments have shown, he was
too much for them. He spent last night
IN the old rookery behind the police
station, and this morning he was trans
ferred to the county jail. Jaller Thomas
searched him in his customary manner,
but did not discover anything HIS

covert look upon the young prisoner 5

satisfied with the examination he had
made. He regarded the prisoner close

Ereceptibly nervous under the gaze,
and Thomas determined 10 be absolute

again
while feeling very closely about
Dayton's person, Thomas's hand
came In contact with some
hard substance. on tearing open the
seams Of his clothes he found two long,
small delicately constructed steel saws.
A removal Of the prisoners wearing
apparel disclosed three more saws OF

city Of New York within few days,
and long and stubborn strike is still
unsettled, though approaching an end
in Chicago. Why do such things oc-
eur in the face of all this prosperity
Simply because the prosperity Of the
country Is unequally distributed.
Trusts are prosperous.
Men with money make more money,
are prosperous; but yvorkmen fnd it
hard to find employment and those
who are engaged are receiving low,
hardtimes wages. Depicting eastern
conditions the New York Journalsays;
Five thousand men besieged the
city hall with picks and shovels few
days ago and begged for work. They
were turned away.
Ten thousand carpenters, who have
hitherto been unable TO share in the
general prosperity, will strike in a
few weeks in Yonkers, Mount Vernon
New Rochelle aud the Bronx.
~ oAA bAOObanu ptuAubcIS hAu Bhnut-
ters, who have have been unable to
perceive prosperity coming their way,
will strike in April.
Thirty thousand machinists are al
so expected to quit work as a measure
for the enforcement of their share Of
prosperity"
A prosperity that begins at the top
aud stays there is OF no benefit TO the
masses. Such prosperity breeds
strikes and results from q condition Of
things brought about by protection to
the trusts, enabling them to make
money st the expense Of the people,
BY tariff-killing competition the
trusts are put IN position to make
starvation wages the rule.
With competition good wages are
assured, without competition the game
is entirely in the hands Of the trusts.
The remedy lies with the people.
Gust the party which upholds trusts,
put the Democrats in power and q
prosperity from the bottom up will be
inaugurated.
