POWER AT THE WORLDS FAIR
A scheme to secure motive Power
at Small Cost TO the Exp0si-
tfOn Management.

st. Louis, Dec. III. Enormous en-.
gines to supply the vast motive power
of the Worlds fair in the form Of
private exhibits rented by the manu-
facturers to the exposition company
is the browning bit Of diplomacy
made public by Director Of Works
Isaac s. Taylor.
The suggestion comes from the rep-i
resentatives Of the leading engine
makers Of the United States. Knife
edge competition forced the idea.
Rather than sacrifice the cost Of pro-
ducing these monster marvels Of ap-
piled energy, the enginerhen want to
exhibit their machinery in motion and
take it away after the life Of the ex-
position.
IF the plan is carried out, says Mr.
Taylor, ''the manufacturers will sup
ply as many engines as the exposi-s
ton company calls for. The engines
will form big exhibit in the machine
cry building, and will be entered for
awards as exhibits Of this class oe
motive power. There is every indica-
tion that this plan Of solving q ruin-
GUS competition will be adopted. The
advantage to the Worlds fair, both
from pecuniary point OF view and
in the way of increasing the exposi-,
ton attractions, is inestimable. Hum
dreds of thousands Of dollars will be
saved on the purchase Of necessary
machinery"
It is estimated that at least 10000
horse power will be required.

AN IMPROBABLE STORY.
er Negroes and Selling Them
into Bondage.

Birmingham, Ala, Dec. ia spe-
cial to the Age-Herald from New De-
catur, Ala, says:
Ben Milan, colored, an ex-slave OF
Lawrence county, is under arrest
charged with an unusual crime. 1t is
alleged that Milan has for some time
been engaged in kidnapping negroes
and selling them as slaves to the
white manager of Tennessee river
Island, some miles below Decatur.
It is said Milan would induce me-
groes to accompany him to the ISL
and with the promise of securing po-
sltions for them on the plantation
at good wages, and that when they
reached there he would sell them in
bondage, the negroes being confined
within the stockade, from which es-
cape was almost impossible.
1t is said that a young negro who
recently escaped from the island told
The story and caused the arrest of
ben Milan. He reports that kid
naped negro has been connned on this
Island as slave for seven years.

IS HE UNBALANcEDp

The intimation in some quarters that Admiral Sampson is breaking down,
 both mentally and physically, ought to
 be source of satisfaction to his friends, singular as such a view of the
 matter may be. If 1t could be shown that hls mind has been affected ever since the light at Santiago, It would be still more satisfactory, for 1t would account for much that has appeared irexplicable in his conduct of late. If it could be further shown that the re- suit of the fight in Santiago Bay unset tied his mind, it would be all the bet ter.
 We, take this position because no other view of his course is creditable 70 him. As a contemporary observes, "If he has uttered sane, a generous or a chivalric, word either by tongue or pen from the day that he forwarded his un- happy telegram announcing the victory at Santiago to the present time, it has escaped public notice." That may be an extreme view to take of the matter, but not exceedingly so. In almost all his public utterances since that fight he has been unfortunate in the use of his language. to call 1t by no harsher term. He has not only not been mag unanimous. but has rarely been just in his statements and criticisms. He has shown disposition to claim credit for himself where he was not entitled to it, and to deny credit to others who were entitled to it. In short, from the hour Cervera's fleet was sunk. Sampson has exhibited disposition which can only be excused on the supposition that he is not mentally responsible for his utter anceS,

THE RIGHT TO WORK.
Archbishop Ireland on Strikes ant
 Strikers,

6LTlAOTS.
 Archbishop Ireland thus expresses himself on the question of strikes and the rights of labor generally:
 But, while the right to enter upon a strike is and must be conceded as a right belonging to the personal freedom of workingmen. this much mpst ever be demanded-and in the name of the same principle of personal freedom un- der which men act who. refuse to work-that they who cease to work must in no way interfere with the lib- erty of others who may wish to work. The personal freedom of the individual citizen is the most sacred and precious inheritance of Americans. The Consti- tuition and the law authorize 1t; the spirit of the country proclaims it: the prosperity of the people. the very life of the nation, require it. Whatever the other interests at stake that of the Iersonal freedom of the individual out ranks tEem all and this must be sus- tained even if those are to be sacri- feed. Neither State nor fellow citizens may interfere with my personal lib- erty. This is the very core Of Ameri- canism. This is the teaching. positive and clear. of natural and of Chris tian ethics. This must be ever emphatically asserted and maintained as an inviolable principie-that. how ever much labor unions may have req son to widen their muster rolls and however much they may have the legal and moral right to do this through pacific and persuasive methods. they must not attempt to wrest from men outside their ranks the right to work, or to seek to coerce them into inac- tivity by illegal or unjust attacks UpCn their civil and moral freedom"

THAT TREASURY SURPLUS.
The Birmingham Times has this

The Birmingham T1mes mas thls to say:
 Dhe Democratic editors are naturally a little shy about writing of the more than half a billion dollars of gold which have been accumulated in the United States Treasury since the Mckinley regime be- gan. and the few that do are amusing rather than convincing in their efforts to explain why the gold is there.
 The Times is largely drawing on its imagination when it claims that Dem- ocrats have no desire to discuss the surplus in the Treasury. That useless and unwieldly surplus is a strong and unanswerable argument in support of the old Democratic doctrines.
 Why do not the Republican papers give the real reason for all that gold in the Treasury? It is mot to be &C., counted for solely, or primarily, by re- ferring to the prosperous condition of the country at large2 People do not look on the National Treasury as a savings bank where they can deposit their surplus. They are not sending money to Washington as a matter of choice, or as an evidence of gratitude for good crops and good prices.
 The Times very we'll knows that the immense surplus now in the Treasury vaults was put there under the opera tion of onerous and oppressive revenue laws. It knows that the tariff and the internal revenue laws have been taking money from the people far in excess of the Governments needs. That surplus is a standing and effective argument against the high-tariff policy of the Re- publican Party, and it is an argument which will make itself heard from Maine to Manila, if the Democrats are wise enough to take advantage of 1t and press it. Nothing could better illus trate the oppressive and unjust burden of the present tariff laws than the fact that more than half billion of money is now lying practically useless in the Treasury, much of 1t collected from the laboring people of the country.
 The Times and other Republican pa pers will do well to sing small about that surplus. Its existence is not cred itable to the Party
