A la Bourbon.
DR.. Richard Barthold, representative
in congress from ST. Louis, appears to
have the Bourbon quality Of learning
nothing. He Is now cavorting around
making loud and violent threats as to
what he is going to do touching what
be is pleased to call Democratic ger
rymander by the legislature of Missou-
ri. He is going to upset the whole per-
Torrance, burst 1t and throw 16 Mis-
sourians, including himself, out of con-
gress. OF course, the good doctor Is
talking through his chapeau-merely
that and nothing more. He might be
willing to hurl E;5 10 colleagues out
but himself. never! Perish the thought!
He alleges that the districts are not
symmetrical. Well, some Of them are
not built on Hogarth's line of beauty,
but they are patterns Of symmetry and
compactness when compared with the
districts made by Republican legisla-
lures in Pennsylvania, Ohio. Illinois
and Iowa. DR. Barthold should re-
strain his rage until he has time calm
~ to survey the landscape DER. That
done, his ire will evaporate instanter.
The good doctor has not been howl
Ing success in undoing Democratic
work in Missouri. He ran amuck on
the Nesbit law, only to Fave the SUI
preme courts Of Missouri and of the
United States to uphold 1t. That ought
to have taught him lesson, but 1t APP
pears to have left him in his former
state of mental darkness.
In passing, it may be well to state
that Elbridge Gerry always denied the
paternity for the scheme which bears
his name and which is universally
adopted In practice while universally
condemned IN theory. hope DR.. Bar
thold will resume his happy frame of
mind when he rests from his late her
culean labors in congress.

NAVY YARD EMPLOYEES.
Form the Society of ship and Marine
Engine Builders to Aid In
Securing Work.

cooperative organization of navy
yard employees has been formed at the
Brooklyn navy yard, which its pro-
moters believe will extend to other
navy yards and become power for
securing work for yard employees in
the future. The organization. which
has been named the Society of Ship
and Marine Engine Builders, was.
formed at meeting of the Navy Yard
Employees association.
The primary object of the new or
ganization. which it is aimed to make
Q national one, is to influence congress
to provide that some of the nayy's
shipbuilding be done at the navy
yards. The formation of the new or
ganization practically does away will,
the local association, the objects Of
which were very much the same. Ii
was felt that national society would.
by its larger membership and greater
influence, command more attention
from congress than local organize
ton. So far as possible only workers
In the different navy yards will be adj
mitted to membership in the new Or.
ganization.
Al the meeting bylaws were adopt
ed, copies of which will be sent to other
navy yards, with the suggestion that
branch organizations be formed In
these places, SO that there will be
number of them ready to work to-
gether in the fall and cast their COM
blned influence upon the various mem
bers OF congress from different parts
OF the country.

have been thrown out.
