A Pleasant Affair.

n EAEdSduA hAAdAs
The members of the young mems Bible
class of the First Presbyterian church
and friends were treated to porch
party at Parkview Farm, the home OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Q. E. Walker, last night.
This delightful country home west OF
the city was the Mecca for the two
wagon loads of young people who start
ed from the church door in the early
evening and came back some time after
the moon rose. There was much to
s7rn11sa First there was the deep veran-
da that swings about three sides OF the
house, where the breezes blew coollngiy
over and the acetylene search lights
threw their glare away from. linen tnere
was the shady grove to wander in, the
high swing to swing in, the hammockS
to hammock in and the Silvery lake to
fall in. But no one fell in the lake. Its
marshy banks yielded cat-rushes as
souvenirs, which brushed uncOmfortably
around in the wagon coming home 9th
erwise there are no injuries to be cata-
logued except when one Of the volun-
teers serving the refreshments fell head
long over the pantry doorsill- FILLED
with strawberries, ice cream and angel
food, moonlight and music the young
folks enjoyed the expedition to the Ut
most.
It was J. B. Larimer's treat to his
class.

NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Will be Called to Meet in Pitts
burg Early i'll May.
PROTECTIVE MEASURE.
Leaders of Organized Labor Believe
that Such IA Movement Is Necessary
i'm View of the Strength Of the Cap-
ItaIistss Combines.

Pittsburg, April 27.-The Dispatch
saws: At meeting in this city on
May 5, a movement will be started
for the organization of the Central
Labor Council of the United States,
which is aimed to be an amalgama-
ton of all labor organizations of the
country, with central headquarters,
the object being to secure co-opera-
ton among all branches of labor, and
aimed to operate especially against
the great trusts.
The project had it's conception
yesterday in a room on Smithtield
street. the district headquarters of
the Knights of Labor. \ half dozen
labor leaders, including several ma
tional officers, were in the party that
issued the call and last night Presi-
dent Shaffer, of the Anna lgamated AS
sociation of Iron, Steel and Tin
Workers, gave the idea his approval.
Among those in attendance yester-
day were: President i. K. Thomas,
of the Pattern Makers League of
North America; President John
Kuntzler, of the American Flint
Glass Workers union; William Ben
nett, secretary of the Pattern Max
ers; J. w. Pryle, national secretary
If the Structural Iron Workers
union: w. A. Shaw, business agent of
the international Association of Ma
chinists, and John Fernau, district
master workman Knights of Labor.
The plan was talked over i'll gen.
eral way, and at the meeting on May
a national convention will be called,
to which the heads of all the great
organizations. including the American
Federation of Labor, will be invited.
The scheme, as explained by Messrs.
Thomas and Pryle last night, would
assume actual cooperation between
all branches of labor in any labor
dispute. The country would be di-
vided into districts, each to have its
own district council.
President Shaffer, of the Amalga-
mated association, said: 81 believe
in the principle. 1t is the natural
outcome of the big combinations of
the present day. | have advocated
il for some time and have already
incorporated the idea in my annual
report to the next convention of
the Amalgamated association. 1t is
labor's only recourse, in the light of
the present industrial situation. The
time will come when the union work
er will refuse TO make iron with non
union coal. and when the miner will
refuse to dig fuel for non-union
mills"

EJThe democratic party may make
temporary gains in the north, but no
party can succeed which depends
upon force, fraud AID disfranchise-
ment to carry elections, as that party
has done in many of the southern

UPeople who are complaining
about Gen. Funston's method, be-
cause it was not specified in tactics,
and was irregular, should remember
that he was dealing with an enemy
who was so irregular himself that
there was no other way to get at
him. When you go cunning for ra b.
bits you do not adopt the methods
needed in hunting lephants.-Brook-

How Straight Is Chinamanq

A Chinaman is universally consid-.

after few years of initiation / have
never found much difficulty in eX-'
tracing the truth from any China
man, be he milkman or ma ndarin-
Not only so. l have always felt great
confidence in the truthfulness of my
own servants, though they often
popped out sundry lies. We have our
own lies-divorce court lies, club lies,
society lies, husband and wife lies
and so on. The distinction is that.
we lie with a different motive.
A Chinaman is thought to be a thief

but money and important papers;
particularly, | never locked up wine
and cigars. During the whole course
of my life in China with one notable
exception, when a thief at an inn

A most curious case, showing how
the separate systems Of the govern
Victim of Judi
confusing s h al pc
Girl hr'"r' has just come to
light in Indiana. A man who has for
10 years been confined in Jail, at the
expense of the nation, has, during all
these years, been in receipt, or intend
ed receipt, of considerable sum of
money from this same nation. 1t is
because the man fought in the great
civil war that the complication was
made possible, explains the New York
Herald. At least. his services in bat
lie were responsible, in part, for the
situation. 1t once occurred to the man
that after having fought the good fight
for freedom and unificatiOn, it might
be the graceful thing for the country
to recognize his worth by money con-
sideration, so he put in an application
for pension. 1t was allowed, and the
mans name was written on the book
of fame, after which he was entitled
to dollars. Shortly following this
period, another man passed ON to the
great beyond, under circumstances
which the coroner's jury considered
called for the trying of some body on
capital punishment charge. 1t so hap
pened that the pensioner was the per-
son fixed upon as the active agent as
sisting in the earthly exit of the de-
ceased. Although the pensioner stout
Iy maintained his innocence, the proof
was so strong as to lead the jury to
verdict of guilty, and the committing
judge to a sentence of life imprison-
ment. This was in the year 1850, and
for 10 years the pensioner worked out
his destiny behind the bars. At the
conclusion of this time, the man who
had committed the murder took to his
last bed, and it occurred to him to
make a confession. So the pensioner is
free now. But he still has troubles.
There are some thousands of dollars in
pension money which the wardenS
have failed to turn over to him, and he
is obliged to sue for their recovery.
Besides, there are the wasted 10 years,
because of the implicit judicial faith
in the infallibility of circumstantial
evidence.

Once, saysa New York contemporary,
when an enthusiastic young chairman
at a large meeting in Harlem, was
making an earnest and sincere, but
very fattering speech in introducing
the late Henry George, the latter, sud
denly leaned forward and poked the
chairman in the back with a walking
stick he had found beside him. The
chairman chopped off in the middle of
a word, looked behind him, had whis-
pered conference with the philosopher,
turned back to the audience and said,
quietly: MIR. George don't want me
To get the rest of that off," which
tickled the assemblage into spasms of
laughter.

There is little doubt that farm la
boT offers a surer subsistence than the
average labor of the cities. But it
holds out no such dazzling prizes, and
what is probably the most powerful
reason, very truly observes the Pitts
burgh Dispatch, it offers no such in
ducements to the gregarious instincts
of humanity. To the average young
men the lights of city streets, the So
ciety, even of the street corners, the
occasional chance of theater per-
formance are better than the loneIines
of a secluded farm. On no other the
ory can the desertion of the farms for
the uncertainties of city life be ade-
quately explained.

DEMOLlSHES A FALSEHOOD.
Sympathetic Friends of AEuinaldo
Left on Their FavOrite
Theme.


The anti-administration people, in
Guiding by that term the so-called
anti-imperialists and the democratic
party as organized under Bryan on
so-called anti-imperialist platform,
have, ever since they gave their sympa-
thies and allegialsce to the enemies of
the United States in the Philippines,
stuck with almost heroic tenacity to
the falsehood that the United States
forced the conflict on the innocent"
Filipino in February, $780, in order to
get votes in the senate for the ratitica-
tion of the treaty of Paris.
1t is interesting to note that, in ad
dition to all the strong evidence to the
contrary furnished by the United
States authorities, which has been ig-
nored and brushed aside by the Amer
lean sympathizers with Aguinaldo, the
Philippine Information society of
Boston, which with undisguised sym
pathy with the Filipino insurgents,
has been publishing tracts for some
time purporting to give the exact
truth about all the occurrences in the
Philippines since Aguinaldo came
upon the scene, has in the tract num-

DEMANDS OF CUBA.
crate Against the Best Inter
csts of the Country.

The Cuban constitutional conven-
tion's refusal to adopt the pro-
gramme of the PIatt amendment
makes no change in the situation, for
the reason that the other party to
that situation is not the American
president, with whom the Cuban or
ganization is dealing now directly,
but the American congress. The
Platt amendment is rule by which
the administration is bound, and be-
fore it can take step in another
direction than the one therein pre-
scribed congress must be heard
from.
The action of the Cuban conven-
tion indicates influences at work
within it which must be deplored. as
made up of other elements than un-
alloyed interest in the good of Cuba
and friendliness to this republic. We
firmly believe that the motives at
work were distinctly different, and
we must accordingly hope that time
will replace them with others more
conducive to the advantage of the
two countries.
If Cuba is dominated by a spirit
which refuses to accede to the most
reasonable requests of the nation
through whose military power and
sacrifices she was delivered from a
humilating and eXhausting tyranny
of centuries standing, what is this
country to do?
Such a spirit denotes more hostil-
ity than friendliness. For that very
reason we are constrained to believe
that it does not denote Cuba truly
but that it is an error which subse-
quent reflection will rectify, at not
distant day.-N. Y. Sun.
