AGAINST LABOR UNIONS.
The Trusts and the Republican,
Are Together Against the
WOrkingman.

The concessions offered by the hard
coal trust to it's striking miners en-
phasize the fact that the real war is
on organized labor. The coal trust is
bent upon the destruction of the Unit
ed Mine Workers of America.
Mark Hanna has shown that there is
close alliance between the coal trust
and the republican party. In the
interest of the latter the former quick.
ly agreed to pay the miners trifie
more money. But it tied a string tc
this agreement. 1t would pay the adj
vance. Yes. But it would do this
only as the price of disunion. And
Hanna accepted the condition.
So the miners may get paltry tep
per cent. increase of wages through
Mark Hanna's powerful influence il
they will consent to destroy their owr
organization. And when their organ
ization has been destroyed, they may
then accept any terms the coal trust
shall see fit to offer. They will ther
be pOwerless to resist.
Organized labor may make up it,
| mind to this: Organized monopoly ha,
decreed its destruction. And the &C
ton of Mark Hanna in accepting J
Pierpont Morgan's condition, follow
| ing President McKinley's suppression
of unionism in Idaho with United
States troops at the behest of the
Standard Oil trust, indicates plainly
enough that organized labor has its
deadliest foe in the republican party

Republican,. Changing views.

The republicans used to be for hi
metallism; now they are for the gol1
standard. Republicans used to be
ieve in the greenback; now they have
to turn over and say that they believe
that bank notes are better They usee
to believe in the income tax; now they
are against the income tax. They
used to oppose the trusts; now they
defend the trusts. They used to be
against a large standing army; now
they are for large standing army
They used to be opposed to a large
national debt; now they stand for s
currency system that can only be per
manent when based on q Perpetua,
debt.-William J. Bryan

USELESS PHILIPPINE WAR.
AGcIKinley'S Persistent Policy .
Subjugati0n by Military
Conquest.

Dispatches from the Philippines are
authentic. They are from our own
officers there, and they make known a
terrible condition of affairs. Over and
over it has been asserted by the ad-
ministration that the war there is
ended. Now our officers are calling
for more men, saying the present
forces are inadequate to meet the in
surgents and compel submission. One
body of 90 United States soldiers
was compelled on Monday to fight for
their lives with 1000 entrenched and
armed Filipinos, with loss of about
one-third of their number. Gen. Mac
Arthur pays a glowing tribute to their
heroic defense, "the splendid response
of the men,"
But compliments do not give us back
our dead, and fine words do not heal
wounds, or restore lost health. There
were, q few weeks ago, in the Philip
pines about 5000 United States sol
dfers. There is nearly that number
there now, growing smaller by fatal
ties numbering from 40 to 100 every
week.
If there were no political unbeliev-
ers to satisfy and no "pride of the ad-
ministration" to cater to, does one
think that this merciless sacrifice
would be tolerated? We made fear
full miscalculation when we undertook
the subjugation of these islands, and
they have proved an expensive burden,
and the death of thousands of young
men. The game is not worth the
candle.

MADE LANDLADY's FORTUNE
Boa rding-HOuse Steaks That Grew
Tender Under the Swat of a
Four-TOn Hammer.

cent man, relates the New York Sun
reminds me of how fortune came to a
clearinghouse keeper in a mill town
where I once lived. There came tc
the house when he first struck the
town a new mill hand. The boardel
seemed at first just like any othe,
young man with a good appetite, out
of whom the profit to be made was
likely to be small, but it was speedily
discovered that he was man of abil
ity and promise who was likely to get
on at the mill. He made great prog
ress at the works. It wasn't long be
of the forge department., the boss, in
fact, of the four-ton hammers.
''As far as he was concerned the
only thing that marred his happiness
was the toughness of the steaks they
had at the boarding house, and that
they were tough nobody could deny
But he was equal to the occasion
there, as he had proved himself to be
at the mill.
madam" he said one day to the
landlady, if you will let me take the
steaks you buy before you cook them
I will make them just as tender as
can be, without any cost to you what
soever.'
'Now, he had paid his board regu

CAP THIEF.
A German Version OF the Popular Old
Game of Prisoners
Base.

A new game, not unlike our old
time prisoners base. but differing
sufficiently to afford fresh amuse-
ment, is now popular with German
boys, says the ST. Louis Globe Demo
crat. In Germany they call it "Mut-
zenraub," but the best name here for
it would be Cap Thief" Two lines
are drawn or staked off upon the
ground 65 PAGES apart. At distance
of % PAGES from one and 40 PAGES
from the other a stake is driven upon
which cap is hung. One boy is Sc
lected to act as umpire while the
others, the more the merrier, choose
sides and line up facing one another
from the outer marks. Those nearest
the stake are the thieves or robbers.
and those farthest are police. At a
signal from the umpire one thief
makes a dash for the cap on the
stake and one policeman advances at
full speed to capture him. The
former has to advance 25 PAGES to the
stake, seize the cap and return with
it behind his own line. The latter has
40 PAGES to make before reaching the
stake, but as he has not to stop and
turn, they are about evenly matched.
Ii the policeman succeeds in placing
his hand on the shoulder of the thief
before the latter has crossed his own
line, he takes him back a prisoner
and it counts one for the police. IF
he fails. he drops out of the gnme
and the thieves score one. After all
have tried, the side having the great
est number of points wins the game.

YALE PROFESSOR FOR BRYAN.
DR.. George II. Ladd Is Against I'm.
perialism After His Trip in
the Far West.

George T. Ladd. head professor of
the department of philosophy and psy-
chology at Yale university, who has
just returned from a trip around the
world, has become an ardent antrim
perialist through his personal investi-
cations into conditions in the far east.
Prof. Ladd spent about four months
in Japan and the whole of one win
ter in India and came into contact
with the foremost educators and
statesmen of the orient. He personal
ly looked into conditions in the east
and the prospects for American and
western civilization and has come to
the conclusion that America is max
ing a great mistake to enter the Phil
ippines as ruler and possessor. Prof.
Laid said:
"The attitude of the United States
in retaining the Philippines is en-
tirely unjustifiable. It was wrong
from the very beginning, from the
moment when the commissioners of
our government forced Spain to sell
us the islanos. It is impolitic, inn
moral and contrary to all of our ira
ditions. The chances are that the Fill
pinos will always keep in rebellion
till they. either have seh-government
or are exterminated."

Another thing that is making
the people tired of Hannaism is the
fact that the glass trust is selling its

it sells the same goods to the people

sworn testimony of the secretary of
the trust given before the industrial
