They told me that they were Americans

They had heard, they said, that this
was a pretty good place to get work,
and that they had scrapeu up enough
money to pay their fare down here, and
now they were looking for any kind of
work. One of them said he was a ma
chinist, and another that he was a
boiler maker. They wanted to tell the
police who they We're and that they
were looking for work. 1 told them
that was all right; that 1 would take
their names, and as fast as they got
jobs to report to me and 1 would take
their names off the list, but that at
the end of week or so those who had
not got work might be looked up by
the police to see that they were not in
any mischief. They said that was all

troublesome strikes, some of the manu-
facturers began to erect factories in
other parts of the State where labor
unions did not exist. This movement
threatened the prosperity of Tampa,
The business men finally resolved to
prevent this diversion of money to 9TH
err places. Not only the manufacturers,
but the American merchants, laborers,
and employees of all kinds, making up
ninety-five per cent of the American
residents, then organized the "Inde-
pendent Order of Black Cats" 1t re-
sembled in it's working the noted Vigi-
lance Committee of San Francisco.
Thirteen of the most violent of the
Cuban agitators were seized at night
and placed in the hold of a schooner.

to find them and sought the aid of the
courts. But no lawyer would take the
case for them. On August 5th last.

them on desert island near British

were ever caught in Tampa they would
be lynched at once. Many of the resi-
dents of Tampa were in favor of hang

remaining on the island several days

EXAMPLES FOR YOUNG MEN.

The young man in politics can do
no better, if he wants to win solid sue
cess in public affairs, than to study the
lives and policies of William Mckinley
and Theodore Roosevelt.
Both began with high ideals and
chung to them in storm and sunshine.
Neither ever soiled his hands in dirty
poIitics Each one rested his hope of
prefernent on some form of eminent
public service unselfishly performed
and courageously executed. The two
became leaders of the Republican party
and Presidents of the United States.
1t is impossible to think of Mckinley
or Roosevelt as tricky politicians or as
machine men intent upon spoils, as
primary workers or as leaders of the
push" They were always above that
sort of thing. Roosevelt has been
peculiarly conspicuous and serviceable
to good government for over twenty
years and has never, for a day, been
associated with machine methods. His
independence was ever his strong point.
He never hesitated to attack a wrong
within his party and he never -conspir-
ed with one whatever the temporary
gain might have been to him. Yet his
career, barring an occasional defeat
with honor has been steadily upward
until it touched the highest levels Of
public life. AS Member of Assembly
in New York where he was eminent as
reformer of his party methods; as the
nominee for Mayor of the New York
Republicans, whom he led into a clean
as we'll as vigorous campaign; as chair
man of the Civil Service Commission
whereby he helped shear the spoils sys-
tenn of it's more abhorrent features; as
Police Commissioner of New York
where he secured practical results for
the Parkhurst crusade against crime
and vice; as Assistant Secretary of the
Navy where he did tremendous work in
getting the fighting ships ready for war
with Spain; as the Organizer and, with
Col. Wood, the leader of the Rough
Riders, he showed how to make volun-
teers the equal in discipline and dash
of regulars; as Governor of New York
where he created a business mans ad-
ministration; as McKinley's running
mate, giving strength to the ticket;
and as President of the United States
starting out as the executor of McKin-
ley's policy-in all these positions
Theodore Roosevelt has shown what
staunch Independence of character can
do for man in American public life.
1t is an inspiring example to young
men who are taking up the fight for
good government wherever in the Union
bad government is MISUNDERSTANDING
it up as Roosevelt always did without
thought of self but with clear intent
to .upbuild and purify the public SER
vice. Discouragements are many and
obstacles not a few in such fight and
the man who goes into it seeking fame
Will merely get notoriety and fail; but
he who bends every energy for the
cause cannot fail, if he is deserving in
other respects, of public reward.

to preserve it. 1t was said that the
Cutan agitators acted in q, most des-
potic way, and that the workmen were
in fact opposed to the strikes. 1t is
clear, however, that the large Cuban
population was not a match for the
small American community or it would
have risen up in defense of its leaders.
This case illustrates the different
phases of the evolution of labor. Here
was a conflict mainly on racial lines.
No body of American wOrkmen would
have permitted its leaders to be
''marooned." On similar racial lines
the American element arose in New Or
leans. a few years ago, and broke UP
the rule of the Italian societies in polit-
zeal matters. There is not reason or
logic in such way but the Anglo-Saxon
usually acts on the rough wisdom of
the hour.

THE INDEPENDENT ORDER OF
BLACK CATS"

The business men of Tampa, Florida.
have established this order for the pur-
pose of dealing with strikes. The city
has about $4,000 inhabitants, and its
chief and most profitable industry is
the manufacture of cigars from Cuban
tobacco. Nearly of all of the cigar
makers are Cubans, and their wages
are unusually large. There were at
one time, two labor unions among
them, but there is now only one which
is called the Resistencia," composed
of about ninety per cent of Cubans
and ten per cent of Spaniards and
Americans. 1t seeks to control the
manufacture of all handmade Havana
cigars, and to dictate to the manufac-
turers the terms on which cigars should
De made and sold. The payrolls of the
twenty factories have been from $50 900
to 100000 per week In consequence of
