was fought, but II did nothing. because

not agree which should be put ahaa&~of the

the same reason. IL met again for The
third time four months ago, and has still
done nothing. apparently because nobody

bother about.
This is a ~scandalous case Of national in

its plan for recognizing the national
banking system did not prevail. But the
Indianapolis movement has been the most
powerful stimulus to the work done In
Congress and in the country. and h
movement owes it's impulse and persistence
to the unselhsh effort and untiring energy
of Mr.. Hanna. He started IL and he kept

WEEKLY PAY LAW TEST CASE.
Effort to Compel Madison County
Manufacturers to Obey the statute.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
ANDERSON, Ind, April 15.-The contest
in the courts of Madison county to COM
pei the factories to comply with the labor
law requiring factory managers TO pay
employees weekly was begun in the Superior
Court here yesterday before Judge III. c.
Ryan The factories made defendants in
a petition for a mandate to compel them
TO obey the law are the American Glass
Works, American Tin-plate Company and
the Wright Shove Company. The State
labor commissioners have sought by peace
full means to secure the cooperation of the
management of the factories, but they
claim that 1t is impossible for them to do
so on account of the lack of uniformity of
the work required in different departments
of the mills. They also take the position
that the law is in itself unconstitutional.
Prosecutor Edwards and Factory Inspector
McAbee brought the action in the court
and the day was spent in hearing the argu-
ments Of the attorneys. The parties to
the action have agreed to the proposition
that all the cases shall be decided on at
the same hearing. Smiley N. Chambers
and Ferdinand Winter, of Indianapolis;
G. M. Greenlee. of Elwood, and J.. w.
Lovett and J.. A. Van Osdol, of this city,
appear for the defense, and the State is
represented by Prosecutor Edwards, Sena-
tor Walter Bell, of Muncie. and Charles
Bagot, of Anderson. The decision of Judge
Ryan will be taken to the Supreme Court
for final revision.

REJECTS CANADA'S OFFER.


OTTAWA, Ont. Oct. B.-The official cor
~respondence which has reached here from
Trinidad shows that the Legislature there
has rejected the offer of Canada for re-
c~iprocal trade and adopted the convention
with the United States by a vote OF Is to )
in favor of the United States. The reason
for this is largely. due to the nearness and
unlimited market of the United States,
compared with the small business done
with Canada. The United States offers
Trinidad a reduction of 121k per cent. on
cane sugar. asphalt. fresh fruits and vege-
tables. while in return Trinidad places
some forty-one articles on the free list and
makes a reduction on other articles.

DUKE D'ARCOs OFFENDED.
Chicagoans Asked Him to Attend the
dewey Day Exercises.

CHICAGO. April 15.-Graeme Stewart.
chairman Of the invitation committee Of the
Chicago Dewey Day Association. tonight
expressed surprise at the attitude OF the
Spanish minister, Duke D'Arcos, who is
reported to have written a letter declining
an invitation to come to Chicago on the
anniversary of the battle of Manila. Mr..
Stewart said that invitations had been
sent TO President Mckinley. his Cabinet,
all the members of Congress, members of
the Supreme Court and the diplomatic
corps. To have omitted any one would
have seemed invidious and would have
constituted reasonable grounds for taking
umbrage. Mr.. Stewart said there was no
intention to offend the duke, and he re-
grets very much that the Spanish minister
feels affrOnted.

Aluminium 50-cent pieces seem to be
rather common just now. Careless people
who do their travelling on small cash mar
gins are sometimes caught with them. 1t
does no good to argue with the elevated
ticket agent or to pull yourself together
and try TO look like an honest man. He
sees clean through you and you can't help
quailtng. It's a mistake TO think that de-
tected knavery is the only thing that feels
uncomfortable. Consciousness of probity
doesn't help a man at all when he is wrig-
Cling under a ticket agents eye. He feels
that no one in the world believes in him
any more and that the only thing left him
is to stink off on foot and follow the wind
ings of the Harlem TO his distant mountain
home. There perhaps some little trust in
him may still linger. One realizes how lit
tie a long life of answering integrity real
ly helps one with his fellow-man. 1t caves
no outward mark on him which the at
tempt to pass an aluminium 50-cent piece
does not efface. 1t seems like such a trifie,
