The Salvation Army Loan.

The floating of an issue of $780,
900 thirty-year per cent gold bonds
by the Salvation Army, in furtherance
of its western colonization project.

out doubt the most practical and most
rational plan to provide for the poor

tempted in this country
Like every philanthropical enter
prise of this character, the Salvation
Army colonization scheme has its bus
mess aspects as well as its humani-
tartan side. Projects of this charac-
ter fall in their humanitarian purpose
unless they can be successfully f.
nanced.
The bonds about to be issued are to
be secured by mortgage upon the
colonization lands of the Salvation
Army, which now have an estimated
value of S250.0O0 That the invest
ment in the bonds is regarded as a
good one. not only from a financial
point of view, but from the standpoint
of sane. practical and worthy plan

FOR NEW LABOR PARTY.
Chicago Union Workmen in Move to
Wrest Power From Politicians

CHICAGO. Nov. ga new labor
party to snatch political control from
| he dominant parties in Chicago and
to conduct public affairs for the bene-
| At Of the wage-earners is to be
launched by the trade unionists of
this city. 1t is estimated that the
waeeworkers cast more than ESQ. 900
OF the 100000 votes in this city and
that the proportion holds good
throughout the state.
The claim is made that labor men
are unable to secure favorable legis-
lation through the old parties and
that the only deliverance from alleged
abuses is the formation of third
interest of the working people. The
leaders are of the opinion that II the
wage-earners will stand solidly to-
gether on such platform they will
be able to sweep everything before
them at the polls and elect an un-
broken ticket OF labor men to all city
and county offices, to congress. to
| both houses OF the state assembly
and to the United states Senate.
Success of union labor candidates
in the November election in other
parts of the country Is what has stir
red the Chicago unionists to action.
The election OF Eugene f. Schmitz,
a union musician, to the office Of
mayor OF San Francisco on the Union
Labor Party ticket and his decisive
victory over the candidates Of both
the Democrats and Republican part
les is cited by them as an example
of the possibilities OF the new move
ment. The choice of Dennis Mulvi-
hill. stationary fireman. who has
spent most OF his life shoveling coal
in boiler-room. to be mayor Of
Bridgeport, Conn. is also pointed to
as an instance.

Women In Politics.

The influences which the womel
York shows that even without the bal
lot they can make themselves pow
er in politics. In four states-Colo
rado, Idaho. Utah and Wyoming-wo
men have the privilege of voting N
all sorts OF elections, from president
downward, on the same terms with
the men. They are allowed to vote
on matters of taxation and for school
officers in several of the other states
to women in all the states some time
although the movement to exteol
their political privileges has recently
met with reverses in several of the
states. In some of the states the wo
men themselves opposed it, The
crusade, however. is kept up and the
chances that 1t will make conquests
in some of the other states seems 20
be favorable enough to give good
deal of encouragement to its advo
Gates.
But the success of the women m
the recent New York election proves
| that they can exert much sway even
without voting. In the New York
canvass the women took very &C
tive part. OF course they were op
posed to Tammany. They held
| meetings in various parts of the city
every day. Some of the most effect
i've addresses delivered during that
notably stirring campaign were de
livered by women. Their best work
was through tho distribution of cir
culars throughout the city, showing
the enormities of the license system
of blackmail obscenity, corruption,
brigandage and general and articulal
| Iindecency and atrocity which figures
under the name of Tamruany govern
ment. Nearly 100000 circulars ap'
pealing to the people to strike down
Tammany were distributed by women,
They were active in every precinct IL.
| the city. To the moral influence ol
these women is largely due the mag
nificent victory won by the cause o.
morality and civilization in the me
tropolis of the land.
Ii was noticed in the days of thG
French monarchy that in the nation
of Europe in which the barriers were
maintained with the greatest rigol
against the accession of women tc
political power the influence OF wo
men on the government was the great
est. Though they were excluded
from the throne of France, they Otter
|swayed the occupant of the throne
and in some instances they were th'
real government of the nation. IL
the days of the thirteenth, fourteenth
and fifteenth Louis, female influence
was especially powerful in France. a!
though in the fourteenth Louis case
il did not come until Nine. Mainte
mons time. in the latter half Of tina

portunities for women to make thei
