William Mckinley, member of the
House of Representatives made a
strong speech favoring the Labor
Arbitration bill, on April 2, 1886, from
which we quote:
II believe, Mr.. Chairman, in arbi-
tration as principle; Relieve it
should prevail in the settlement of
international differences. 1t represents
higher civilization than the arbi-
trament of var believe it is in close
accord with the best thought and senti-
ment of mankind; believe it is the
true way of settling differences be-
tween labor and capital; believe it
will brings both to a better nnder-
standing, uniting them closer in inter
est and promoting better relations, a.
voiding force, avoiding unjust exaction
and oppression, avoiding the loss of
earnings to labor, avoiding disturb
ances to trade and transportation and
if this House can contribute in the
smallest measure, by legislative ex-
preston or otherwise, to these ends,
it will deserve and receive the graft
tude of all men who love peace, good
order, justice and fair play. Z
On tie eentlE1y Mr.. Bryan's
attitude always favored strikes: never
has his voice been raised in favor of
arbitration, the only true way Of settl-
ing all labor troubles

scented. A fewexcerpts from the speech
of the chairman Of the National Re-
publican Committee, which was an ar
ray of hard pan facts throughout will
become famous campaign phrases:
with the record OF the Republican
party to point to I feel that have the
right to call upon Republicans and
all others who have interests to de-
fend in the most important crisis that
has ever occurred in the history of
our country.
II don't know any stronger appeal
to any man who has a family to sup
port or a business to build up than
that he should help to give us another
four years of that prosperity. The
whole issue is McKinleyism against
Organism, and the choice is not a
hard one. Boiled down, it is the
party Of free silver and free trade
against the party of protection and
prosperity.
Bryan will not talk free silver in
New York State unless he's forced
to. That's the Democratic party s
only issue, and they stand on it where
they stood four years ago.

THE CIVIC CLUB.
Interesting Statements at Its Annual
Meeting Saturday.


The annual meeting Of the Civic club
was held Saturday afternoon at the Fra
tsrnity house with Mrs K. O. Jordan, the
president. In the chair. The attendance
was large and the nesting one Of unus-
ual interest. This club WAS formed some
i've years ago " a half dozen bright
women who desired to know something
about the government Of Portland and
who wished to study parliamentary law.
Two years ago the club was enlarged
and now has about 90 members. Il IS
not an aggressive body. 1t does not at
tempt to do things BY forcing the pow
ers that are, but 10 epdsavors to bring
about reforms by education and BY aai.
tation. The reports which were made by
the ohairmsn Of the several committees
on Saturday give good idea Of what
this club has accomplished aud 10 trying
to accomplish. During the past year, for
example, 1t brought about the city or
dinanoe which provides penalty for sx-
peotoratins In the street oars. 1t induced
waste boxes about the streets where loose
paper and other things which are usually
thrown upon the sidewalks or the streets
may be placed. It has devoted itssh to
protecting tho trees Of the city and has
saved great many Of them from being
ont down.
Then 1t developed during the afternoon
what the club hopes to accomplish dur
ing the next year. 1t wishes to prevent
meats ana fruits and other aticles Of food
from being exposed to the dust Of the
streets which the club mem bsrs bslisvs
is the cause OF much disease. 1t wishes
to have the expeetoration ord nance sx-

interested In public baths and hopes 10
have some established in Portland. The
baths located In the manual training
bnilding which is to be erected this year
or to have them placed In some central
locality where people for few cents
may have an opportunity Of taking o
bath az all seasons Of the year. These
are some Of the things the club will strive
to bring about By educating the citizens
as to the need Of these ,forms.

nouncing the taking of Spion kop is the
only intelligence from the seat of war
which has reached london, and that is so
brief that we have little details of what
has happened.
If Spion kop is situated, as indicated,
at the point where two ridges unite, run
ming northeast to Dewdrop and north
west to Acton Homes, its occupation by
British troops must have cut the advanc-
ed Bocr position in two.
According to General Buffers dispatch
General Warren thinks the Boer position
along the Tugela has been rendered un-
tenable by the capture of Spion kop, as
suming of course that the British are able
to hold it, The Beers were holding very
long line. 1t was something like 80 miles

BAR ASSOCIATION.

In response to the call Judge Vree-
land issued to them last week the
lawyers of Morris County assembled
in good numbers in the Court House
Friday, Jan. 10th. Vice Chancellor
H. @. Pitney presided. In speech
preparatory to taking up the business
of the meeting, the Vice-Chancellor
spoke strongly on the good that Bar
Association would do in keeping up
the time standard of the profess
sion. The Bar needs men of sterling
honesty, who will labor in the inter
ests of their clients, so the speaker de-
clared. There is, sadly enough, he said,
too many smart lawyers vino know
the tricks of the trade too we'll to gain
or deserve the respect of commun-
ity."
On motion of Judge Vreeland the
Chairman appointed committee to
confer on a constitution, bylaws and
as amended by Judge Cutler, to con-
slider the question of Incorporation.
The following lawyers were ap-
pointed committee: Judge John B.
Vreeland, Judge W. W. Cutler and
Charlton A. Reed.
The meeting was adjourned until
such time as it shall be called again
by the Chairman when the committee
is ready to report.

A WATCHfUL WATCHMAN
OHicers Arrestfng law Breakers to be
Rewarded.

The recent capture Of a burglar in
the residence of Mr.. Melon, on Mad
ison avenue, by watchman Meeker,
has been favorably commented upon
by the residents Of the city generally.
Morristown covers territory all to-
gether too large to be properly policed
by it's limited force. Hence number
of private watchmen have been en-
gagged in different parts of the COM
munity Officer Meeker it appears
gave special attention to the care of
the property on his beat and the resi-
dents of that vicinity, feeling that
their interests were cared for by so
efficient an officer, have presented
him with purse of 500.
| We understand that other property
owners in different parts of the city
have an understanding that whenever
thief, incendiary or law-breaker is
arrested by officers those making the
arrest shall also be rewarded. In 9th
er words a generous public wishes to
impress upon the police force and the
special officers of our city that 'seter
nal vigilance on their part will re-
ceive generous reward.
| Whether the fellow Meeker caught
in Mr.. Melons residence was pro-
fessional or simply tramp makes no
difference, he was caught red handed
1
breaking the law, and as a result he
will probably spend some time in the
State Prison. The Chronicle has be-
fore called attention to the fact that
those who encourage tramps by Civ
ing them food, clothing or money, as
is daily done in this city, are wrong
ing not only themselves but other
members of the community. The char
tiles of the town are so well organic
ed that in no instance need worthy
applicants be compelled to beg from
house to house for assistance. Bear
ing this in mind we might say that
no later than Tuesday, Gilbert Riker,
a prisoner just discharged from the
county Jail, applied to tender heart
ed resident of Morristown, stating
that he wanted funds with which to
bury his child The citizen upon in
quiring was told that the child had
died with diptheria, and becoming
alarmed he Immediately informed the
Health authorities. In the meantime
the man disappeared but was later on
arrested for disorderly conduct and is
again in jail. Had he mentioned any
disease save contagious one, he
would have received the money which
apparently was so easily forthcoming,
for the generous individual afterwards
remarked, ''the fellow told his story SC
well l could not help But promise him
money I"
