Mr.. Spalding ruled that New York be
counted as present, thereby making a
quorum.

ed, composed of Ebbetts of Brooklyn,
Soden of Boston, Dreyfuss of Pitts

doc" DOrtic Hit Furniture Man
in Dispute with I. VI. Frank.

A difficulty between doc" Dortic, a
well-known bartender, and Jasper N.
McGillis, a furniture dealer, whose
connection with the Law and Order
League brought him into public gaze,
occurred on Broughton street yester-
day, under rather interesting circum-
stances. The trouble occurred within
three feet of Patrolmen Jernigan and
Buckwald, who were stationed at one
OF the windows at Adler's store.
Dortic struck McG%lis and both men
were placed under arrest by Patrol
man Buckwald. Dortic did not want
to walk to the station hous or to ride
In the patrol wagon, and suggested
that a cab be secured A conveyance
was called and the officer and his
prisoners were driven to headquarters.
McGilils and Dortic were charged with
disorderly conduct and fighting in the
street. Dortic furnished bail for his
appearance in Police Court to-mor-
row and McGillis was subpoenaed to
appear before the Recorder.
According to Patrolman Buckwald,
Mr.. McGillis was standing near Adler's
window, which adjoins the store of I.
NJ. Frank & Son. Mr.. Frank asked
the officer who McGillis was, and
Buckwald disclosed the indemnity of
legged to have said that he wanted to
get a good look at the Law and Order
League man and at about the same
time McGillis started away. Mr. Frank
commented upon this to the officer and
McGillis returned to the store. He
asked Mr.. Frank if he wanted to see
him and announced that his name was
McGillis.
Mr.. Frank stated that he had no de-
sire to say anything to McGillis, ana
that he only wanted to look at him.
The two men were arguing when Dor
tic came along. The bartender stop
ped, and claims that McGillis was
speaking to Mr.. Frank in a manner
that should not have been affected by a
young man to his elder. Dortic Of
fered ~ interfere by telling McGillis
If he wanted anything to talk to him.
Dortic claims that McGillis drew his
hand back and that he then struck
him. believing that he was about to
be hit. Before any other blows could
be passed, Buckwald had gotten be-
tween the men. Dortic claims that the
language used by McGillis caused the
tears to come to the eyes of Mr..
Frank, who stated that if his son had
been present McGillis would not talk
in any such manner. Dortic says that
he was affected by the sight and was
prompted to take a hand.
McGillis claims that he was the in
jured person and in no manner to
blame for the trouble. He said that
he overheard Mr.. Frank, when he call
ed the officers attention to the fact
that he was leaving. He then ap-
preached Mr.. Frank, who stated that
he had not referred to him, but to
"McGillis, the Law and Order League
fellow" McGillis claims that Mr..
Frank ordered him from in front of
his store, and that when he refused to
move and became engaged in a con-
troversy, Dortic stepped up and struck
him two blows. The trouble will be
investigated by Recorder Myrick in
Police Court.

Our American patriotic emancipat- barous rule of Spain seem to be putting into operation their benevolent assimi- lation act on some of those people ac- cording to this bit of news as found in a San Francisco paper: "One thou sand Porto Ricans were loaded here last Saturday by contractors on their way to Hawaii, where they go to work on the sugar plantations. There were men, women and children, in every respect inferior to the lowest class of negroes or American Indians. They all, without exception, were tobacco worms, and chewed, smoked or snuffed continually" And this transportation of these unfortunate creatures to the sugar plantations of another foreign country-to them at least-to swell the hoard of some millionaire slave owner, is an jndicationeof the best that their benevolent emancipators can do for them How prophetically truthful were the lines of Ella Wheeler Wilcox when She Wrote aneht our Amercan- Spanish war

Still one more machine has made it's appearance in the market arena to get men athinking or drive them into star yation. It is a machine for book-bind- ing. It is claimed for this invention that with it's less than two-horse pow CT and two attendants it will turn out the work now requiring 100 men. 1t looks as if in a little while after the machine gets agoing that there would be some people at least whose time will be taken up up more in looking for something to eat than for some thing to read, which in turn will call for less books and less labor by the machine and it's attendants. Then there will be instituted a reduction of wages by the owner of the machine of the men who run it and a strike of the men in resistance. Thus our beau tiful and Christianized industrial sys- tenn operates.

And as such it at once becomes celebrated case" Women have been voting in Colorado for eight years, in Idaho and Utah for five, in Kansas for fourteen and in Wyoming for thirty-two, yet in all this time no woman before had been charged with this infraction of the law. But how about the other sex that generally arrogates to itself the sole right to the franchise. At the same election many men were charged with fraudulent voting. In St. Louis over 200 were under indictment for the offense, while in Philadelphia at a re- cent election the number of fraudulent

Through the efforts of the paper Good Government, a new organization has been effected in Massachusetts called the Referendum Union, the pur- pose of which is to write the principle of direct legislation in the statutes of the commonwealth. The gentlemen striving to force this issue into the politics of the now corporation-con- trolled old Bay State have surely taken a contract on their hands that will not permit them to run out of a job very soon However, the true reformer takes so naturally to work that the only time he grows tired is when he has nothing to do.

An interesting fact was developed by the recent elections in Colorado 1n the tendency towards the election of women as city treasurers, several Of whom were elected and a great many more running ahead of their tickets where not elected. The same is true or Kansas. Perhaps the reason for this is to be found in the number of dishonest men treasurers that have turned up Of late, lured into stock speculation and other gambling schemes of getting something for nothing. This is a phase of commercialism with which women are generally unacquainted.

We are wondering what the good union printer will do-he who now seems to believe that the beginning and end of industrial philosophy is cen tered in the union label-when the new invention for typesetting by cleo tricity comes into general use, as come it surely will, and that ere long. The union printer used to figure out that three out of five lost their jobs by the introduction of the typesetting ma chine; what will be the further result in this direction when one man in the employ of the Associated Press in New York sits at the keyboard and hooks on all the daily papers of the country, news fed by that institution, instead of requiring as now one operator for every machine of the number required in each office to set the matter coming to them from the same source. Still we are very much of the opinion that even this jolt won't have the effect ot waking up the now sleeping philoso- pher of the union label to anything of more progressive thought or action. The "label'' will still be the panacea for all the industrial ills the fraternity is heir to-at least for those employed the others-well, the others can do as they do now-"go scratch
