BACK AT WORK.
Building Trades Men in Chicago
Claim a Partial Victory.

Chicago, Feb. 12.-Of the 1000 build
ing trades men who took their half hol-
iday Saturday afternoon in defiance of
the new rules of the Building Con-
tractors council, one-half, it was an
nounced by the labor leaders, resumed
work as usual on the big buildings.
When the men quit work Saturday
noon they were instructed to return to
their Jobs as usual, placing the respon-
sibiHty of tying up building operations
on the contractors, who because Of the
fracture of their rules were expected to
declare a lockout. The fact that many
of the men resumed their work today
is regarded by the labor interests as
indicating great weakness in the build
ing contractors agreement to stand by
one another At the headquarters of
the contractors it was declared that
the men still at work were doing so
under special agreements in order to
complete certain portions of the work.
Operations on numerous smaller
structures are at a standstill, and will
remain so, the BASES say, until the
places of the locked out men are filed
To guard against others taking their
places the union men have 1000 pick
cts stationed about the city.

 It is the duty of democratic senators to make the issue plain. Give the repub- licans all the rope they ask for. Secure above all eise votes upon every proposl- son involved, so that in the grand appeal to the people next November there can be no lodging, no qu1obling. no evasion. The votes that will be taken down to the final vote on Tuesday next would mark the sacrifice of the republic to greed and cor runtion were 1t not for the fact that an appeal lies from congress-not to the su- preme court which is strongly republican, but 10 the people. The people in the ap- preaching campaign will decide. Either this is an empire or a republic. It cannot be half one and half the other for two such governments cannot be intermingled. IL must be one or the other. and the peo- pie will decide.

Death of Officer Kifkley.

The assassination of a brave and faithful officer by a prowling criminal at mid night hour should not go unpunished. This town is infested with crooks of all sorts and degrees, attracted hither by reports of the crowded and prosperous state of this district. Such rascals keep away from quiet and unprosperous towns, because their presence would be noted; but in town that is filled with strange faces com- ing and going they hope to escape obser- vation and detection.
 The daring assassins who shot down Of fieer Kirkley attempted to kill both him and Officer Adams in the heart of the city, within a block of the city ball. Their very plan involved the killing of both officers within sound of the police station By kill ing them they hoped to escape, and their plan to a great extent successful, Of- fieer Adams will, it is believed, recover; but he was shot down, and the two assas- sins and general criminals escaped.
 There is only one good way to hunt such criminals down, and that consists in tenn porary enlargement of the force and a thorough hunt for all criminals all suspi- cious characters. The death of the brave and devoted Kirkley can in that way be avenged The two assassins in question have doubtless gone to prey on some other community. but this town is full of crooks. and poor Kirkley's death can best be avenged by hunting the last one of them down.
 1t would be we'll too. if council would appoint a committee to devise some form of memorial to the dead officer His body should have public burial. over his grave should be placed an inscription that will show his devotion to duty did not go un- appreciated His life was that of a soldier, and he died as soldier dies-ighting for his people and for law and order and pub- lie security. His death should render the homes and property of citizens more se- cure and the streets of the city freer from robbers and assassins. It is not easy to say how man could die more bravely or more deVotedly.

RETURN OF THE BLUEBIRp

Kentucky Detective Campaign.

Sensation follows sensation in Kentu ky and wifi continue to follow il until the re- ward of s1O0OoO is placed. It will lead doubtless to a succession of periures and confessions, but whether 1t will elicit the truth, and put the crime upon the really guilty persons is indeed doubtful.
 Very Troperly the best people of the state murdered Governor Goe6el. They desire it as a warning in the future as well as punishment in the present. Until the mur- derers are apprehended there Is dark stain upon the state. If a governor can be shot down in broad daylight, from the statehouse itself or an adjacent building, and no one be charged with the crime, there is indeed a new revelation in American pol itlcs, and no one can blame the Kentucky authorities for trying to unearth the dark conspiracy.
 But it Is a question whether the offer of a reward of such magnitude was wise. If a like sum had been appropriated for thor ough investigation of the crime, sno objec- llOn WOu4u nave DeeH HedTu to II. The re- ward cannot be used in that way. Every dollar of it must go to informers and con fessors; and this feature of the case bids fair to add to it's unenviable history stories of perjurers and not much real information. Clerks and under officials of the statehouse are hastening to get a slice of the huge reward; detectives are as thick as flies in Egypt, but as yet no clue seems to have been clearly aseertained as to the actual act of assassination. More detectives will be needed if the flood of confessions is kept up Youtzey has succeeded Golden and Cuiton, with Tanow Dick Combs, negro, in the background. Who will succeed them remains to be seen. It also remains to be seen whether any one who was directly guilty of conspiracy in the assassination will be detected and tried and hung.

The Brother of Cecil Rhodes

Colonel Frank Rhodes, D. S. O., is an elder brother of Cecil John Rhodes. and is a very distinguished soldier. H. has very brilliant military record and won his de- eoration in the Sudan, when he was in the First Dragons. He has been military sec retary to the governor of Bombay, and was for some little time the governor of Nash onatand and Matabe,eland now known as Rhodesia.
 He is an alert, busy little man, with mar velously sharp eyes and a quick rather nervous but decisive manner of speaking. He was locked up in Ladysmith during the whole length, of the siege, and is reported to have assisted in every way possible in cheering up the garrison.
 This not his first experience of being locked up, for he passed many weary months in Pretoria jail after the Jameson raid. Colonel Rhodes was adjudged to be a ringleader in the reform committee, and he was sentenced to death. This was af- terward commuted to fine of 1000 pounds and banishment from the Transvdal unless he would swear never to bear arms against the republic That he was unable to do, so he chose 6anishment.

Tariff Robbery vs. Constitution.

The tariff Soenefciaries are. up against the constitution and they are so embroidered by republican success and the demonstrated influence of their pockets in 1sas, that they do not hesitate to strike boldly and un- bl,rshinsly at that venerable instrument. AlthousG1 the treaty of Paris made Porto Rico a part of the United States, they are preparing to say that it is not a part Of the United States, but is instead a colony to 5e ruled as colonies usually are. It Is to be governed according to the whims of congress and the executive. If congress declares that the inhabitants of the island are citizens of Porto Rico. and as such entitled to the protection of the United States" it simply violates the cons;itu- ton, establishes a colonial system, and changes the nature of the government.
 And it does this in the most calculating and selfish manner. It does h in order to maintain at its maximum and worst that compound Of vlllanies, the D.=siey tariff. It desires 10 maintain every exacticn of this scheme of robbery because thereby its quadrenmial campaign list can be car- ried to a sum that will carry the doubt ful states. At tsle bottom of il is there fore the robbery of the many on the one hand, and the corruption Of the ballot on the other. To this complexion hath reDuslieanlsm at last. Success has made

SHORT STORIES
 OF THE DAY
Ministered in the Hospital

Although the name of Dr. Jameson has only been incidentally mentioned during the war, he has been right in the thick of it, although, of course, in an entirely un- official capacity, relates the London Daily Mail. He left Salisbury toward the end of October, and entered Iadysmith just be- fore the beginning of the investment He applied to be allowed to assist in the hos pital, and his expert services as operating surgeon were gladly accepted, and he went out to the Intombi Spruit Neutral hospital as a civilian.
 Here he proved himself to be of the greatest possible service, for his skill in his profession is very great. and his house snrgeonship at University College hospital is still remembered as a period of eXcep- tional brilliance.
 While at work in or about the hospital Dr. Jameson was slightly wounded, and subsequently, was attacked by fever; but neither eventually was serious, and it is confidently believed that he is fully well enough to avail himself of the privilege of being once more a ire man.

Feared the Eate of Hobson.

When the late sirdar came home from his victorious Khartum campaign hej was received at a London railway station by an enthusiastic crowd of friends, admirers, and well-wishers. While he was surrounded by many brave men and fair women, all shaking him heartily by the hand a voice was heard from the background calling out:
 "Take care, Kitchener. Remember Hob son!"
 This. of course, had reference to the ex- potts of the gallant American naval lieu tenant.
 The Sirdar bushed even through his swarthy Egyptian tanned expression, and a great many people laughed at the apt allusion. Those who know Kitchener and his innate modesty will the more readily understand the peculiar inaptness of the remark,

LOOKING BACKWARD

From the Boston Globe.
 The people of this country do not need congress to teach them the principle of free trade between our possessions territo- ries and states. We had our first object lesson in the days of the American revolu- ton. Great Britain then sought to do for her possessions in America just what con- gross is trying to do for Porto Rico now. The question of whether or not the island needs the revenue derived from the pro- posed tariff cuts no figure at all. It is d principle that is at stake. As well might congress legislate Boston out of the pale of equal burdens, privileges and immunlties in the union.

The Working of the Primary Plan

From the Randolph Leader.
 The editor of the Leader spent Thursday in Lafayette. He went down to study the workings of the primary election plan. which had just been put to a practical test in that county. We found that the plan worked most admirably. There was no friction and no ground of complaint We talked with a number of the best and most conservative democrats, and they all gave the primary their endorsement. They pro- pounced it the fairest way of making nom nations, and declared that it had united He white people of Chambers again. Such testimony this from our next-door neighbors is entitled to the honest consid- eration of the democrats of Randolph.
