PRESS dispatches convey the in
formation that wages of mechanics
including all classes of metal
and wood workers, fnishers, rig
gers, etc,-in the navy yards of
the United States have been re-
duced. The reduction ranges
from 10 to IS per cent. This
action was not taken because of
Competition among contractors"
or to resist "exorbitant demands of
trade union" unless the AS
ISOLATED Press, with its usual un-
reliability, has lied about it. Sec
rotary of the Navy Long, sitting
in his comfortable Office at Wash
ington, ordered the reduction, for
the good of the service" A few
days later the press dispatches re-
vealed the nature of "the good of
the service" aimed at by Secretary
Long. These dispatches announc-
ed that the over-worked, brass
buttoned, and braid-bedecked
officials who inspect" the work of
mechanics in various parts of the
navy department, had been given
a raise of salary. Although the
dispatches did not so state, Sec
rotary Long probably issued the
order raising salaries with the
same autocratic audacity he pro-
mulgated the one reducing wages.
Note the distinction: Our pros
perity" administration raises the
pay of the man who looks pretty
for a salary" and reduces the pay
of the man who earns wages"
And still the wage earners out
number the salary drawers
thousand to one. Our Republican
officials give the damfool working
man just the treatment he deserves.

THE State Central Committee of
the Republican Party had meet
ing in Carson last Saturday, which
was quite largely attended. The
writer happened to be on the train
Saturday night which took the
most of the members to Reno, and
they say they are quite confident
of electing Republican Congress
man this year, and feel that there
is show to carry the State for Nc
Kinley. 1t is understood that the
fight for the congressional nomi-
nation will be between harrington
and Mcmillan.

"ONE striking feature of the
Democratic Convention was very
noticeable. The crowd went wild
when Dixie" was played, but did
not rise when America" was
heard. A little rebel still there,
hey?"
We do not know where the
above came from-who uttered it
but it was picked up in one of
our exchanges. The man who, at
this age of the world, will still
keep such things in his craw is not
fit to be called an American citi-
zen. The union of the North and
South has been complete for
tw enty years past; each side had
some things to forgive and forget,
and they have done so as was
shown when this country became
involved in trouble with Spain.
That there are still some knaves
and fools in the country there is
no doubt, but that there should be
so big one as to give utterance to
the above quotation is almost be-
yond comprehension.

NY BOY, when you know that
you have a weak, losing cause,
do not further weaken it and add
to your discontinue by under
taking to answer the arguments
of your opponent, but turn in and
abuse him, abuse his witnesses,
and his client as far as the Court
will allow you, thereby befogging
the minds of the jurymen by ap-
pealing to their prejudice. This
may not win, but it will mitigate
the humiliation of defeat.
The above is from a speech
made by Teddy Roosevelt in Min
nesota. When he was nominated
it was our opinion that he would
add considerable strength to the
Republican presidential ticket, but
if the above is fair sample of his
campaign arguments, and Nc
Kinley is depending upon such
stuff to elect him, it is all off with
the Rough Rider combination.

ALL workingmen give more to
their masters than their masters
give to them, otherwise the masters
would not employ the men. So,
morally, the masters are under OBJ

NUMEROUS bills of interest to
labor were introduced in the last
Congress, but all failed to be en-
acted into law. Amongst the bills
of special interest to labor were
the eight-hour and prison labor

possible to have these measures
enacted into law. They received
the support of the House of Rep

A LESSON IN POLITICS.

Admiral George Dewey is begin.
ming to learn some practical lessons
in politics, and from the half-heart-.
ed support thus far given his boom
for the presidency. be has about
come 10 the conclusion that the peo-
pie are not so anxious to see him
President after all. This fact has
so impressed itself upon the mind .of
the Admiral of late, that be is cast
ing his eye on the second place on
the Democratic ticket, and it is said
that he has already intimated to a
friend that he is not averse to deal
whereby he will be given the vice
presidential nomination by the Dem
ocratic convention at Kansas City.
Admiral Dewey is depending
almost entirely upon John K. Nc
Lean, his brother-in.law, to secure
him place on the ticket. Recent
events go to show that Mclean In
tends going to Kansas City with a
proposition that Dewey be nominal
ed for Vice President, and to thi:
end. be Is doing his utmost to pre-
vent the delegates from Ohio going
instructed for Bry an, hoping there
by to be able to trade off the forty
six votes of Ohio for the seconc
place on the ticket. Other States II
the East will send delegates to Kan
sas City unpledged, and Mclean ex
poets to secure the control Of enough
of these delegations to demand I'm
tportant concessions from the Bryal
forces.
We believe that Bryan and Dewe,
will together make such stronl
ticket that the Republicans will hav
an uphill task to cope against them
but however that may be, the Ad
miral has learned lesson in polite
that he is not apt to forget soon
VIM. J. Bryan is the logical cand
date for the Presidency, and no ma
on the American continent can s,
percede him in the hearts of th
people.

Southern people cannot blame Price,
Mccormick 81 Co. for the recent
rapid decline in cotton. That great
firm, which failed for $4,000, 600
went down trying to sustain the
market. From all accounts South
ern bears have done more to break
the market, than any others" MOI
do we believe that they will do il
either. 1t was Price, Mccormick
d Co. that kept a strong backbone
to the market from almost the be
ginning of the cotton season. This
firm was a great help to the cottor
men, and it is to be hoped that i
will be able to resume business.

The New York Evening Post
says that few people outside of the
immediate vicinity of Pittsburg
have the slightest conception of the
enormity of the railroad tonnage
drawn to and from that center, and
an investigation of its traffic affords
fine field for the transportation
student, and will broaden him.
The tonnage of the Carnegie Steel
Company alone, raw material and
finished product being 10000, 600
tons last year, is as great as the
combined tonnage of the Northern
Pacific, Union Pacific and Missouri
Pacific railways, embracing as they
do more than 5000 miles of track,
and running probably 1900 locomo
tives and so, 900 freight cars.
