alike must don shrouds without pockets the same identical heaven awaits the poor, shrivelled, half paid, furnace slave at Homestead, and the bespangled, beyachted, racehorsing and ignorant voluptuary of millions, who, in society swim, owns (and lives in for couple of summer months) his marble palace and stately grounds at Newport, which shut off from his workmen, who made him, able to have all this, even a sight of Gods free ocean, and deny the poor man the privilege of walking along it's God-given beach.
 Not long since sensible, thoughtful, refined woman of wealth paid her first visit to Newport-of but three hours. Engaging a cab she drove along its splendid boulevards, lined with palaces of multi mil llionaires, palaces by the side of which most of the famed castles and mansions and halls of Europe are but as cheap dog-houses. This lady, as she drove on and on, seemed thought ful and sorrowful, rather than bright and gay amid such Arabian Nights sur roundings. When at the end of her tourney she remarked to a friend who accompanied: 'sWell, am powerfully sad at these sights. Really wish had never seen the glories of Newport. I

The Big Strike.

The past week has witnessed gigan- tic revolution in the world of American labor. It means portentious and radical results. Its effects will be far-reaching. The benefit to American worHngmen and women at large and in every pur- suit will be incalculable, if it is success full in the purposes it seeks. If it fails the loss to the wage earners in this coun- try will be great and well nigh eternal. Seventy five thousand workingmen have struck unitedly against the slavery of the Billion Dollar Steel Trust. The force arrayed in this unlimited battle to secure to the laborer his rights on one hand and continue his enslavement on the other, are titanic in numbers, power, strength and determination. The con- test will for years, perhaps for cen tury, decide the fundamental question between American labor and American capital whether, in this land of free dom, the interests of humanity must be recognized by the power of money bags.
 God alone knows how it is to result. God alone knows whether manhood or greed will be triumphant in the end. The condition is serious. The strain upon the financial, social, and political fabric is intense. If the human rights of those who ''by the sweat of the face," eat bread, fail of recognition, just, fair, considerate and prompt, what of the future of the Republic? Gan our coun- try long endure such an industrial revolution without wrench to it's very political foundations? Is not the future of the United States wholly de- pendent upon fair and just relations be- tween it's men of labor and men of cap ital? Will our government long exist not only on basis of material prosper ity, but even as republic, when thus its citizens are arrayed against each other, those of brawn and muscle against those of almost imitless wealth and the power which such wealth brings them?
 In seeking to forecast, even in the slightest degree, the probable result, much must be considered. In these days of colossal fortunes, wealth in but few hands is all powerful, arrogant, un- yielding, interruptions, omnipotent. Even when man dies today our first query is-not what kind of man was he-7- not what sort of life did he lead ? but rather, how much was he worth ? Now money makes the mare go'' not only-but, in the ''mare's going,'' hon. esty, justice, good morals, humanity, principles, all take a back seat. They are mere side shows. Our rich men, as a rule,' care nothing about the means whereby they get rich. So long as they are rich and growing hourly richer they i care not for others. One would never l dream in our advanced '4civiization, that in the after ife-to reach which all !

Pencil-PusherS vs. Tongue-Thrashers.
 That ''The pen is mightier than the sword" has been proven in great many cases, but it remained to be proven that the pen is mightier than the Waterbury aggregation of legal talent until Wednes- day afternoon when the pencil-pushers ignominiously drove from the Water bury athletic field the local disciples of Blackstone.
 Umpire James O. Brzezinsh was the one to render the decision, and more than that he has good grounds for action for assault against Harold R. Dnrant, prosecuting attorney in the city court, and another action for interfering with an umpire in the discharge of his duty.
 The lawyers were in evidence at the beginning of the game. Judge Holohan and Manager Durant were in especial evidence and things went in favor of the attorneys until Judge Holohan hap pened to remember that he had been in swimming the day before and injured his back while trying a double back somersault from 8, spring board. Then he promptly dropped the piece of fence rail he was using as bat and excused himself.
 Then came ill Harry Durant's trick- ness. @@ One of his men was on first base and wanted to get to third. Durant grabbed the umpire by the neck, pressed the unfortunate face against his breast and signaled to the runner to cut across the field. A foul was called, but as the umpire couldn't see he of course could give no decision.
 In the middle of the sixth inning there was dispute as to whether the batter pire decided that he was not. A heated discussion ensued, during which City Clerk Mike Ryan stole the ball and Denny Lahey, the captain of the news paper team, demanded that play be re- stunned or the game forfeited. Umpire Brzezinski pulled out his watch and an- nounced that if play was not resumed in five minutes he would have to give the game to the newspaper men. Harry Durantswas frantic in his search for the ball, but he didn t search Mike Ryan.

of capital, it contents itself with strikes and 1ockouts and their consequent desti- tuition? The ballot, in every working mans hand, strikes at the root of every injustice. Why not unitedly use it, then, at the ballot box on every occa- sion? It is also, while wholly inexpen- sive, the quickest and the surest way whereby labor can obtain permanent justice. For this reason, the labor men all should maintain their unions, and use them unitedly ill support of labor ticket as men who favor labor's rights. To succeed, labor should go to work at this as intelligently, as determinedly and as confidently, as for two months onr machinists in strike gladly lived on crusts and splendid self-denial. They among us who earn their daily bread by daily toll count four-fifths of our pop ulation. United at the polls they elect every time. Drop all other politics and parties. Nominate only labor's friends. Have no after squabbles about ratifying on labor tickst any of the nominees for city offices, Democratic or Republican. Endorse no man on either ticket. Have it understood in advance that he who takes nomination on either political party's ticket will not be recognized by labor or supported by loyal labor advo- cates Such a candidate must 'stread the wine-press alone" Nominate as labor candidates, competent, bright, able, in- fuentia1 men. Don't set up for labor's mayor Jimmie O'Hara, simply because at some labor meeting he may have de- ivered some ranting, fiannel-mouthed speech, Select with care, and pick the ablest and best men possible. Ignorant, cheap, incompetent candidates, nomi- mated, invite sure defeat and bring con- tumely on the labor movement. Select no political bummers, ward rooters, or office seekers. Avoid any man who asks labor's vote in his own behalf. He is no good. Don't 'shog" city offices and fill them with all Irish, all Preach, all Italians, all Dutch, all Germans, English, Turks, Jews or Gentiles. Where your candidates were born is of no consequence whatever. Neither is it of the slightest importance whether they are Democrats. Republicans, Barn burners, Wide Awakes, Millerites, or Red Republicans, or none of these-no more than whether they support wholly one religious creed or another or none. Rich men and corporations never con- trol politics by any or all such consider ations. Wealth nominates, to carry out it's will, Il en who answer but two of it's requirements-a and devotion to it's cause.
 Labor, to be success, must ask of its candidates, the same requirements. This is the first lesson of our strike and will be of great value to labor if ob- served and acted upon. And the sec ond is that local labor or trades unions can do for themselves far better than to listen to dem ands of head centers and big salaried high cockolorums at dis tance.

in risking on new school buildings a repetition of the unfortunate high school conditions Would they con- tinue to employ as individuals, in inn portant matters, a lawyer or 8 doctor who had made for them one such stu pendous and costly blunder What spell or charm doee this Jackson exert over our school building committee, whereby, phoenix-ike, he can rise easily and repeatedly anew out of the ashes of his blunders and mistakes?
The weekly examiner., 1901-07-20

SC WOz 2 04A1gdv1ce-a suggestion, ii you please to the committees, boards, o1 officials of our consolidated city, who give out school contracts to architects and contractors. s.Time and again, when ever new school is to be built by the peoples money, Architect Jackson has the bulk of the say, and to him is award ed the bulk of the contracts. With but few exceptions and far between, Jack son may be said, architecturally speak ing, to rule the school building roost.
 Why this is so, The Examiner man will not try to explain. It is enough to know the fact that Jackson, in all the building of new and costly schools, has the call and has long been and still is the architectural cock of the walk.
 Since kthis is so, The Examiner man wants to ask right here the question |: Why do our school authorities persist in engaging Jackson as architect and su- perintendent of the erection of our cost 1y school buildings so long as the north east corner of the elegant $125, ,OO0 high school building, which he engineered stands as monument of such faulty, nnscientific, unskilful, ignorant con- struction, that it is, and long has been, broken, cracked, settled, wrenched, dis jointed EfromE Ecellar to attic, seemingly ready at any moment to fall prostrate to earth? This lis simply an architectural outrage-a bungling piece of eonstruc- tion at the start well nigh criminal, a menace to life of the occupants every moment of every day in the school year
 Some years ago, when the matter was brought up in an immense school meet ing, Thesss Examiner man, with others, was appointed to examine the construc- tion of this $125, ,000 building and report. A full report, from this committee of practical and experienced builders, was made in detail few weeks later The whole unscientifc architectural methods of faulty construction were laid bare to the taxpayers. The defects, accidents, omissions of MT. Jackson's work were fully laid bare. The seams, openings, breaks, gaps and settings in the east walls on the north end were fully de- 
 scribed, discussed and explained. The consequent probable damage to the building itself and danger to it's occu- pants were fully outlined. In the two or three years since that report these seams, breaks, and consequent injuries to the building and its school purposes have fulfilled the predictions of that re- port. Time has increased, not dimin- ished, the results of Jackson's faulty and unscientific construction. Now, while the high-school building stands, getting worse and worse, monument to his incapacity, why. persist in engag- ing his services in constructing other costly edifices? Is not one $125, 1000 botch on our taxpayers quite enough? Gan public servants justify themselves
