new YORK DEMOCRACY.
permanently ORGANIZED
BY Wire From New York, May %.

1t was expected that ex-Secretary John G.
Carlisle would be present and act as tenn
porary chairman Of the meeting Monday
in Cooper Union, at which the Greater New
York Democracy was permanently organ
lied.
However, he wrote the following letter.
which was read:
''William Hepburn Russell, chairman ex-
ecutive committee-Dear Sir: 1t Is scarcely
necessary to say that / am in full sympathy
with every properly directed movement to
create an honest, efficient and economical
administration of local affairs, and this,
ON assured, is the object sought to be ac
complished by your organization, and that
its efforts are not to be confined perma
nently to local affairs.
ITO secure this beneficial result we can
well AFFORD to ignore, for the present, all
the differences of a common ticket, which
will represent the best elements and the
highest interests of the community at large.
There are three and q half millions Of
people here, with their homes, their busi-
ness, schools, charitable institutions. social
interests, all dependent mainly upon the
municipal authorities for protection, and 1t
is no exaggeration to say that, taking all
things into consideration, the administra-
ton Of the national government is of less
Importance the citizens Of New York
than the administration Of the local govern
ment.
"They can have the administration Of
their municipal affairs IL they really want
1t, but it cannot be secured by dividing the
forces of reform and wasting their strength
in contests among themselves
Hoping that the union and cooperation
essential to success may be speedily accom-
plished through the efforts of your organiza-

The Capitalization of Railroads.
DAILY North American, Philadelphia,
May 10.
The recent maneuverng on the Stock
Exchange makes the fact stand out
clearly that four or five small groups of
owners absolutely control the railroad
situation in the United States. For the
most part the merger Of connecting lines
into a small number of great transcon-
tinental consultations has been effected
without a jar. The sharp clash of rival
interests over the Northern Pacific does
not alter the general result. Instead of
many companies, each covering it's linn
tied territory, henceforth we are to have
four or five powerful chains of railroads,
extending from ocean to ocean. Many
details remain to be worked out before
the cancellations are perfected in all
their parts, but the bulk of the labor has
been done.
1t has been beyond the power of the
public, which is dependent upon the
railroads., to prevent this centraiization
OF ownership. Indeed, it excites no pro-
test, only amazement, because of the
skill and wealth employed in harmonic
ing the transportation business in so
short a time. II the Vanderbilts, and
Goulds, and Morgans, and Harrimans
and their associates care to assume such
enormous financial responsibilities, the
people will not object If their rights are
preserved. SO long as the community
Of interest" practice does not lead to
new abuses, the big consultations will
be tolerated. and even welcomed.
The f1nancie-s who have organized
these gigantic combinations have done SO
as q matter of business. Unless they
foresaw future prospects Of large earn
ings and cheaper operation BY working

Immediately after the opening ceremonies
the convention went into secret session.
This convention will differ from others OF
the same body in that 1t Is expected more
matters Of public interest will develop than
ever before.
The relations Of the organization with
the recently organized United States Steel

workers in general and the eyes OF the en-

conventions actions.

explain their position ana their demands

the men wanted. Mr.. Devens said that
he had got little satisfaction. The men
said they would have to telegraph the ma

come to terms
1t was announced that the president

Conference With Metal Trades
Association to Be Held In
New York.
BY Wire From Washington. May "a.

Both the navy and war departments are
apprehensive to the effects OF the machin-
lists strike on government work now In
progress.
The navy department received word that
the strikes had spread to yards on the
Pacific coast, where a number Of war ships
are under construction, and it is expected
that Eastern yards having naval ships to
build also will be affected.
The war department was informed that
the strike was likely to stop work on the
two naval transports, Egbert and Rose
crans now repairing on the Pacific coast.
Secretary Root asked the navy depart
ment to assist in forwarding the work pend
Ing the tie up and Acting Secretary Hackett,
of the navy, ordered that the two army
transports be taken to the navy yard at
Bremmerton, on Puget sound, for the COM
pletion Of their repairs.
None Of the government yards can be
affected by the strike, as an eight hour
day prevails in all government work.
Word has reached the department that
government employees are contributing funds
in support of the strike movement, hut no
attention will be paid to this matter.

This the employers are willing to

Drives off with it's splendor the darkness

Where the rich hanging velvet, i'll

Sweeps gracefully down in it's trimming

When his scales with law weigh equally

From the lips ot.the angel your poverty
