Bresci declared the opportunity to car
ry out their plan was so favorable it
would be carried out even though the
queens life be spared. When he pre-
pared to fire the fatal shots Lana drew
his revolver and was to fire If Bresci's
shots failed to kill. When the king
fell, MORALLY wounded, Lana threw
down his weapon and fed. His revolv-
er was found near the scene of the
tragedy. and he was speedily captured
and put in prison.
Several Additional Arrests.

There have been several additional ar

There have been two other arrests at

MEN AGAINST BRYAN.
Railway Employees Do Not Care to
Return to the Times
of 1895.

The Railway and Telegraph EN-
ployes' League of Illinois has issued a
pamphlet giving the earnings of rail-
way employees in the United States for
the years ending June 30, 1895, and
June 80, 1899. The figures, which were
compiled from the interstate COM
merce commission reports, show that
the total increase in wages amounted
to the great sum of ST., 459 ,625. The
number Of persons employed increased
from 7s5,O34 in 1895 to 92s,924 in 1899.
1t thus happened that there were rail-
road "jobs" in 1899 for 1880 more
men than could get "jobs" in 1895.
The railroad employees of the United
States are now being asked TO vote for
Bryan because he will "do no harm"
1t is absurd however, to suppose that
they would care to travel back to the
times of 1898. Practically speaking,
they would have not one thing to gain
by Bryan's election. The least that
they would be apt to lose would be that
increase in wages, amounting to a near
ly round $sO,O0O,00O. Moreover, they
would not like to have the extra pros
perity work taken away, which would
mean with it the "jobs" of some 49,
500 OF their present number. To get
work somehow at any wages, those
143,S90 losers of 'jobs" would surely
demoralize the entire labor market.
Railroad employees, also as a class,
are too sensible not to know that the
success of sixteen to one would bring
worse times by far than the country
knew in 1895. bad as those times were.
1t is self-evident that with the rail-
roads paying fixed interest on their
bonds in 1OO-cent gold dollars. and be-
ing compelled to accept as legal tender
for their service as carriers, the new Az
cent dollars. they could not make
"both ends meet" without depriving
vast number of their employees of the
chance of earning wages in even the
Accent collars.

'"The south is going into the manu-

courage, faith in our grand country,
and it's destiny, and we must induce

phis Commercial Appeal, Aug. 20.
With the above lines, written in
the heart of the solid south, where
everything political has gone demo-
cratic for the last half-century, text
can be made out to show that trade
and money matters will henceforth di-
vide the parties, so that in the next
decade it may not be impossible, az
at present, to elect republican gov
ernor in such states as Tennessee and
Georgia. The deep-rooted prejudice
that ante-date the war of the rebel
hon, is not economic, but rather per-
sonal, among it's people, and has been
kept up by its leaders Tor political
reasons; for pure unadulterated
Americanism the south undoubtedly
holds it's own, as foreign emigration
plays very small part in it's popu-
la tion.
The white natives are largely of
Scotch-Irish extraction and retain the
old-time, canny shrewdness, virility
and pugnacity of their ancestors,
with their logged faith in principles
old as the hills, which accounts for
their sticking to ideals which are con-
sidered out of date in the rest of the
country. OF course, I am not includ-
ing, for the most part, the cities OF
the south, which are fully as progress
sive as the rest of the country, but

this article, to show the rift in the

spreading the propaganda of progress
and enlightenment, so that the people
will vote according to their conscience,
and not as their leaders dictate.
If the item copied from one of the
leading newspapers of the south
rightly reflects the trend of senti-
ment, which there is no reason to
doubt, as there has been any number
Of "straws" evident to show which

Chickens Came Home to Roost.

Saginaw, Mich. Sept. 25.-The de-
crease in Saginaw's population may be
attributed to the fact that after the
consolidation of the east and w :.
sides, the census Of 1890 was padded
in order to make a strong showing
against Bay City, which was trying to
effect a consolidation with West Bay
City and thus supplant Saginaw as the
third city in the state. The decline Of
the numbering interests Of the valley
and the removal of mills from the
Saginaw river with their accompany
ing army of transient woodmen who
voted here, serves also as a partial
Cause for the decrease.

LABOR'S PROSPERITY.
UnanswerabIe Proof That Working
men Are Benefited by Re
publican Policies.

That the laboring men of the coun-
try are in more prosperous condition
than ever known before is proven be-
yond any chance of contradiction by
the statistics Of the American Fedora
uon Of Labor, sent out over the sigma
tsre Of the president, Mr.. Samuel Com
psrs. We compare the disastrous
years Of the Wilson bill and democratic
rule, 1893, 1894 and 1895, with 1899, I'M
der Mckinley and prosperity.
In 1893 the American Federation Of
Labor met at Chicago. There were IS
delegates present, 80 national trade
unions represented, IS local trade
unions, Is city central unions and one
state branch. The receipts for the year
were $40, s64.62, and the expenditures
$21, 1888. In 1894 the American Fedora
ton of Labor met at Denver, COL
There were " delegates present, 80 ma
tional trade unions represented, IL To-
cal trade unions, II city central unions
and three state branches. The receipts
for the year were SIS. 346.43, and the ex-
penditures $17,3O2.0S. In 1895 the
American Federation of Labor met at
New York city. There were 90 dele
gates present, "a national trade unions
represented, 30 local trade unions, Is
city branch unions and three state
branches. The receipts were $13, 751.75,
and the expenditures $15.612.42.
In 1899 the American Federation of
Labor met at Detroit. There were 1s9
delegates present, So national trade
unions, 65 local trade unions, 81 central
unions and five state branches. The
receipts were $36,757.13, and the ex-
penditures $3O.599.22. Surely labor is
prosperous when the members of this
great organized body can contribute
to the cause as shown by the above re-
ceipts over $4,000 more in 1899 than
they did in 1893. and several thousands
more than double what they did in
each of the years 1898, 1894 and 1895.
Under Gate of August 8, 1900 Mr. Com
pers stated the number of Independent
local unions to be 1854, city central
unions 1911, state branches IA. 1t is
evident from these figures that when
the American Federation of Labor
meets in December next there will be
showing of progress made and in
crease of new membership, all accom-
plished under labor's present prosper
Gus conditions, such as no labor or
ganization has ever before made.
