LABoR's GREATEST ENEMY.

The New York Central Labor Union
has received letters from over one
hundred representatives of labor or
CARNATIONS in Porto Rico, stating that
they are imprisoned in San Juan by
military authority, the chiefs of the
American army suppressing all labor
organizations which they can discover.
These victims of McKinley's despot-
ism include the presidents and secre-
taries and members of arbitration
committees of nearly every labor union
on the island. And yet the president,
in his letter of acceptance, with char
acteristic hypocrisy, claims that Con
gress has given to this island gov
eminent in which the inhabitants par
ticipate. elect their own local legisla-
ture, enact their own local laws" ETC.,
every word of which is false. as the
legislature which congress provided
for electing has not been elected and
has only been granted advisory power.
Thus the administration antagonizes
labor wherever it can, from the frozen
Occur d'Alene to the tropics, by pal
pably unconstitutional means. Rus
STA excels it only in barbarity, but not
in despotism. Let Americans realize
before it is too late that administra-
ton rule in these localities is but the
prelude and warning of what may soon
be reproduced all over the country If
Mckinley should be reelected.

MONEY IN GAS.

Few people on the outside realize or
even dream Of the enormous profits
Of the gas monopoly. Once in a while
some of the facts come out and the
public obtains fleeting glimpses Of
the astonishing truth. A few years
ago daylight was let in on the gas
monopoly Of Washington and the
country was started by the disclosures.
There have been like revelations from
time to time in Chicago and New
York and elsewhere and now we are
treated to an exhibit of gas profits in
Springfield, Mass, city of some 50.-
900 population, which will rank with
the most striking on record.
From the books of the Springfield
Gaslight Company, as shown in re-
port of its own, the profits of the
business are and have been phenome-
nal. In 1851 the concern had $4,000
invested in plant. This is substan-
TALLY all the money which has been
invested in the enterprise. Since that
time the company has paid S1,6S2,4.
in dividends; and it now has capi-
tai stock of 100000, and paid out Of
these dividends. Whenever an issue
Of stock was made a corresponding
dividend was declared to Offset it.
Consequently for every dollar put into
the plant originally, it has yielded $67
to its fortunate holders. 1t is now
paying $4,000 year, or 12O per cent
on what was originally paid in. T
This enormous profit is the result OF
an exclusive ownership of the streets.
AS there seems to be no practicable
way of securing competition in gas
service, on account Of cost OF laying
mains, the remedy for the extortion
is public ownership of gas works.
which would cut down the price OF
gas to one-half or one-third of pres
ent price and still pay profit on the
money invested.

TREATMENT OF PORTO RICO.

In his letter of acceptance President
Mckinley referred to Porto Rico as
follows:
Congress has given to this island a
government in which the inhabitants
participate, elect their own legislature,
enact their own local laws, provide
their own system of taxation. .
The generous treatment of the Porto
Ricans accords with the most liberal
thought of our own country, and en-
courages the best aspirations Of the
people of the island"
These statements are of the kind OF
half-truths which are worse than
whole lies Correct as far as they go,
they yet convey an impression, as the
president intends, far different from
the actual state of affairs. For exam
pie, while the inhabitants elect their
own legislature, Mr.. Mckinley omits to
state that every act Of the legislature
can be vetoed by the governor general,
who is appointed by the president, and
removable at his pleasure. Nor does
he add that the governors veto can
only be oyerridden by a two-thirds
vote of the executive council, whose
members are also appointed by the
president. In view of these facts. the
presidents partial statement of the
truth becomes a wilful misrepresenta-
ton which of itself would be enough
to stamp his whole letter as unreliable
even where it purports to quote facts.

JUST HOW 1T is.

Miner-Say, look here, boss! The
coal trade is prosperous just now
don't you think that we ought to share
in that Mckinley prosperity" the pa
pers tell so much about? We ought to
have more pay.
Operator-What are you fellows al
ways kicking for? We are doing the
best we can for you. We buy labor in
the labor market. When the market
is full we don't have to pay much;
when it is empty we can import all the
men we want to fill it; so, you see, we
don't have to pay more wages than
we are paying now. Besides, the roy
atty has gone up. You wouldn't de-
prive the mine owner of his share of
prosperity. would you?
Mine Owner-That's right, these I'M
grateful fellows are never satisfied.
What would become of them If we
didn't allow them to work our land?
They've got work, what more do they
want? I'll see my partner, who has
command of the militia. He'll be on
hand in case these fellows talk too
much.

MECHANISM A PUZZLE,
Curious German Locomotive on Exhi.
bition at Paris.


One Of the German locomotives
shown at Paris Is so singular in the
salient feature Of It's design that had
not the idea been Indignantly repudi-
ated by its designer one would have
felt imDelled to regard it as huge
scientific practical joke. 1t is a four
coupled compound express engine built
by Krauss of Munich for the Bavarian
state railways. The astonishing pc
culiarity of this engine Is that its two
pairs of bogie wheels are placed so far
apart as to admit between them third
pair of wheels. feet 3% inches in
diameter, and that this third pair is
driven by pair of small outside cylln-
ders, the combination producing what
is called an auxiliary" engine-equiv-
alent TO the donkey" on board a
steamer. Further this pair OF small
auxiliary drivers can be raised from
the rails or pressed upon them, as de-
sired. by means of lever. The OBJ
ject of his eccentric appliance has
proved tough puzzle to most visitors.
One. British engineer of no mean
standing, hazarded the conjecture that
the tiny auxiliary wheels and cylinders
were to be used to move the locomo-
tive about the yard. so as to give the
big wheels and cylinders rest. This
suggested to him a humorous compar-
ison with Sir Isaac Newton's absent
minded provision of large aperture
in the door for his large dog to pass
through and a small aperture for the
small dog! Naturally the designer was
outraged at so disrespectful a refer
ence, and he promptly explained that
his real intention is to have a loco
motive which, in general, has the quail
tiles of a four-coupled engine, but is
able to increase, every time it is need
ed. its cylinder power as we'll as its
adhesive weight in the proportion Of
3 to 2, so that it can exert temporarily
a tractive power corresponding to six
coupled wheels"

Keeping Tab on Foreign Naviss.

The collection of photographs from
life of foreign naval vessels in the pos.
session of the office of naval intelli-
gence is probably not excelled by any
similar collection in the world.
Through our naval representatives
abroad this department has been
form for many years past, and it is
not too much to say that with the in
formation in store here the navy de-
partment can inform itself at once OF
the exact force of any nation. at any
designated point of the globe. This
information relates to personnel and
material, and is in the main exact and
official.

do not fear that Mckinley will pro-
claim himself king next year should
he be. reelected. l fear not that the
United States will be monarchy in
five or ten or twenty-five years. But l
fear that in the course Of time. if we
pursue this policy of Imperialism, we
will find ourselves descending on a
toboggan slide of national degradation.
We cannot violate the eternal princi-
pies of liberty in the. far east without
at the same time striking blow at
our Democracy at home. We cannot
long retain self-government in it's pur-
