employers? In whose prosperity are
we most concerned? The people OF
this country are justly alarmed at
the rapid growth of great monopo-
listic combinations, and none more
justly so than their workingmen,
who, single handed, would be the
easiest victims Of their power. Why
should they not organize?
"That fairness and justice do not
always prevail in labor councils;
that unwise or selfish leaders some
times guide them astray, no more
condemns the wisdom Of these Or
ganizations than the misdeeds Of
those elected to power and place in
our state and national governments
condemn the wisdom of political in
stitutions."
These sentiments constitute the
major key of his life in dealing
with his fellowmen, and there is no
minor key of descending about him.
FAITHFUL IN ALL CIVIC
DUTIES.
Absorbed as he has been In his
large industrial affairs, he has never
failed to perform all his civic duties,
although he has never been an Of
flee holder or an otiice-seeker. No
public or private charity but touches
his pocket book first and his sym
pathies afterward. No movement
for the furtherence of education but
receives his cordial assistance. The
founder of a hospital for children,
his hand is still helpful toward every
other movement TO assuage and allie
viate the sufferings of mankind. In
short, Colonel Kilbourne is human
being with human sympathies.
The above estimate Of Colonel
Kilbourne is gratifying to his
friends in Columbus regardless OF
politics, for they know that it is
truthful and that much more might
be said in praise of him. The taking
of all of his employers to the Pan
American this week IS the latest
manifestation of his magnificent
generosity, but it is not an innova
tlon, for every year witnesses an ex
cursion of some kind in which EN-
ployer and employees meet and have
a good time on plane of perfect
equality.

trouble will be that fair minds will
be unable to deny that just ground for
complaint exists. But what Is to be
done? Mr.. Bryan tells his union Ia
Dor hearers that the remedy for such
unfair inequalities in the distribu-
tion of wealth lies at the polls rather
than In mere unionism, and In this lie
is right. Unionism at est can only
benefit part of the producing classes,
and largely then ut the expense of
the other part. But to say that
through political action alone can ef-
fectlve remedial measures be secured
is very easy compared with
the task Of defining just what we
should vote for at the polls. And
right here Mr.. Bryan becomes dumb.
1t is certainly evident that the Kan
sas City platform will have to be re-
vised and amended materially to be-
come adequate to the matter In hand.
As promoter of greater equality IN
wealth distribution its money plank is
shown to be of no use by the fact
that the Capitalization of wealth seen
since 1896 has gone on under an ex-
pansion in the money volume much
greater even than free silver would
have caused. Plainly the problem
centers around the control of monopoly
in all its forms. This is the great
question of the day in our domestic
politics, and in leaving the money
question in order to give more atten-
ton to wise methods Of dealing with
this problem, there opens up to SO
powerful a popular agitator as Mr..
Bryan field of great public import
ance and usefulness. He and his
party must stand for something more
than mere protest against the ex-
isting order. 1t must present effective
reform measures which appeal to
thinking people as such.

Akrons citizens have had enough
object lessons of late years to teach
them the folly Of injecting too much
partisan spirit into the decision of
questions raised in local elections
The antidote for the overdose of
politics such as that from which the
administration of Akron's affairs has
suffered consists of general resolu.
tlon on the part of citizens to "be
wise in their wisdom" in future elec.
tions.

WANTED TO SEE THE MAYOR.

If Moses CIeaveland had appeared on Superior street Saturday afternoon with q shot gun looking for quail there could not have been more surprise than was occasioned when little Har- vey R. Kidney, of Erie street, walked into the mayors office with his brother. their pockets stuffed with the heads of sparrows. The boys insisted with the mayor. When asked what they were doing with the heads of sparrows they declared they had come to sell them to the mayor. They said they understood that the city gave a bounty of two cents for each spar rows head, and they wanted the money. The little fellows sat down on the floor of the office, and on the carpet they counted and recounted the number of sparrows' heads they had in their pockets. They had two piles of heads on the floor, and were quietly waiting for the mayor when they were told he was ill at his home. They were much disappointed, and picked up the heads and placed them back in their pockets. Harvey said, ''Pa bought us an air gun on Christmas. We put q box in the back yard, and every day we lay ir that box and plug the SDarrowS.'
 The boys were sent to the county commissioners office. In the different townships of the state sthere is a bounty paid for the heads of sparrows. but no one seems to know whether the law is operative iii Cleveland.-Cleye- land Leader.

Had he2 Listen, what is she saying to him? Tn low. well-modulated voice, without the slightest trace of emotion or excitement, she says:
 "I Want You. Dear Heart,' I Love You. Ma Honey Come Back My Baby why Did You Throw Me DownY The Latchstring's Always Hanging Out for You I've Shook That Other Man. You're the Only One I Love- T Don't Like No Cheap Man. 'Oh. Promise Me- and sFll Be True to You"
 Was he moved? No: his face took on bored expression, and in careless tone he said:
 ''Is that all?'
 s'Yes," she half whispered.
 s'Two dollars and twenty cents please. We are having a special sale on sheet music to-day and they are reduced in price. Thank you.''
 Then they dr'ftnd anart. she to prac tice rngtime and he to fit from Beeth oven to Williams and Walker, all fol the same salary per week.-Baltimort American

BUYING AMERICAN HORSES.
NJ. Characaise of Belgium Also Wants
 to Sign American Jockeys.

Memphis, Tenn, March 13.-M Nich- olas Characaise of Brussels. Belgium, was at Montgomery park yesterday in search of thoroughbreds for racing purposes in his native country. NJ. Characaise is the nephew of Baron Characaise of Chateau de Mappes. JumariS, Belgium, and is prominent on the Belgium turf. He also is in search of one or more American jock eyS.
 'We have only few race courses in Belgium NJ. Characaise said "but our people are fond of the sport and it is on the increase. I am in America to buy horses and to contract with jockeys. l represent several owners, who have given me carte blanche to sign them an American jockey at any amount within reason.
 "There is q general demand for American jockeys in E.ngland,- Austria and France as well, and I do not be. lieve that the supply will reach the de- mand. One thing is certain. we are willing to pay for what we get and do not waE& something for nothing. A boy that is good enough to win races in this country can get an annual con tract calling for 10000 Belgian francs which approximately is $S,OOO in American money.'

 Thomas Cooper, the champion of 1900, and "Major'' Taylor, the cham pion of 1900, will meet in match race soon after the return of the col ored cyclist from Europe. Cooper is now in training in Los Angeles. In a letter he says he is of the belief that he can beat Taylor, and he wants the opportunity to try.
 "Of course,' says Cooper, ''Taylor certainly lowered my colors in Madi- son Square Garden, but an outdoor track is another proposition. 1 only want one more chance at him, and on that chance will depend my decision in regard to following the circuit to fight for the championship this year.
 Archie McEachern. the Canadian, has accepted the challenge of John A. Nelson, whom he agrees to meet at any time, any place and at any dis tance, paced or unpaced, with or with out a side bet.
 The new track at Nailsburg, N. J., will not be ready until April 20. The opening meet will be Sunday, May 5, and meets will follow weekly.

 Boston. March 13.-The keel trough in the fin of the Independence was tested yesterday and found to be ab- sOlutely watertight. The big trough was filled with water and not a drop came through the riveted seams. After the water had been pumped out and the trough dried, the work of slowing the lead was commenced, and several tons in pigs and fine shot were dis posed about the bottom before. the day closed. The work of smoothing the plating into q brilliant finish will be started in a few days. and it is ex- pecteu that the Independence's hull will shine like q watch case.

FORWARD BULKHEAD IS READY
The Steel Used in the Cup Defender Is Extremely Light

Is Extremely Light.
 Bristol, R. l.. March 13-The for ward racing bulkhead of the cup de- fender was completed ill its setting up yesterday, not far removed from the steel platform into which the main- mast will be stepped. The material is of steel and extremely light, in fact so light that man can hold in one hand q section fifteen feet in length and eighteen inches in width.
 The hawsepipes are being fitted on two of the forward sheer strake plates on the starboard and port bows of the boat. In proximity to the hawespipes and just abaft of them are round castings riveted to the plate and containing sockets for the metal spreaders through which the bowsprit guys will pass to their lead from good sized shackles, bolted to the plates several feet aft of the spreaders in their course out to the bowsprit end.
 The deck amidships will be clear of everything so that a few spare spars can be carried in the waist. The mainmast traveller of steel and galvan- iZed is about the same size as that of the Columbia. The progress made yesterday in riveting on the topside plates was good. narrowing down the work of construction.

The much anticipated game, the last great basketball game of the season III this city, will be played this even- ing at the '. M. c. A. gymnasium
 when the local '. NJ. c. A. boys will attempt to wrestle from the Yale varsity quintet the glory which they gained here early in the season by defeating the local boys after a fast and closely fought contest. The local boys intend to redeem that defeat by decisive victory and they are in fine mettle for the affair. Numerous have been the victories, few the defeats which have. been credited to the 1alensians since their visit here. A large crowd will no doubt attend the game as Yale team is always as- sured of a cordial greeting from Wa terburians. The game will no doubt be played at a clipping rate and splen- did will be the playing of both teams. A preliminary game will be played between the St Johns choir boys and the boys quintet of the Third Congre- gational church.
