Gen. Grant Was Insubordinate.

A somewhat dramatic conversation
Is that which G. S. Boutwell, reports as
having passed in 1856 between Presi-
dent Johnson and Gen. Grant.
II may wish to send you on a mis-
sion to Mexico" said the president.
"Tt will not be convenient for me to
go to Mexico" returned Gen. Grant.
Some time after this Grant was in
vited to a cabilet meeting at which Mr..
Seward read a paper of instructions to
him as minister Of some degree in
Mexico. The contents Of the paper
could not have made a strong impress
sion on Gen. Grant, for he said after
ward, in speaking Of the incident:
1.-THE instructions came out very near
where they went in"
But at the end of the reading he re-
marked.s "You recollect, Mr.. Presi-
dent, I said 1t would not be convent
ent for me to go to Mexico"
Some discussion followed, and then
the president rose from his seat asld
struck the table with some force.
'Ts there" said he, IAN officer Of the
army who will not obey my instruc-
tions?"
Gen. Grant took his hat In his hand
and remarked quietly:
II am an officer Of the army, but ]
am a citizen also: and this Is a civil
service that you require Of me, de-
cline it"
He left the meeting. It happened
finally that Gen. Sherman. was sent to
Mexico.-Youth,s Companion.

PROF. LOOS TALKS AT
CENTRAL PARK CHURCH
Discusses Industrial Revolution and Its
Aspects-States Principles of
New Liberalism.

Prof. Isaac A Loos, of the University of
Iowa, lectured last evening on 1.-THE In
dustrial Revolution and Its Aspects" at
Central Park M. E. church.
Prof. Loos outlined the history of the
Industrial development during the last
century, pointing out the various inven-
tions and improvements that have con-
tributed to the material progress in all
classes in that period. He outlined the
theories Of the political economists and
discussed the labor problems that have
arisen, and the reaction of the Industrial
revolution on politics. After describing
the industrial revolution in other lands
he concluded as follows:
81 venture to state the following prin-
ciples Of the new liberalism: First, the
state may determine the plane OF com
petition; second the benefits of monop-
oily must be socialized either through
public ownership or control, or by opera
ton of natural law, the law of monopoly
price maximum consumption or potential
competitions; third, the continuance of
industrial progress is conditioned upon
reasonably high wages for all workers Ia
order to secure individual efficiency on
the one hand and communal or national
efficiency on the other hand; fourth
democracy and empire though often in
conflict are not necessarily incompatible.
s'They can live together upon the one
condition that our local autonomy shall
be secured against imperial interference
and that all shall be workers and special

MITCHELL VS.. eoMPERs.

An item of public information is now
in circulation which will possess great
interest not only for the members of
trades unions but for the general pub
lie. It is that John Mitchell, president
of the Mine Morkers' union, has de-
cided to contest with Samuel Gompers
for the presidency of the American
Federation of Labor at the forthcom-
ing national convention of that body
to be held at New Orleans.
Mr.. Gompers, as it well known, is the
existing president of the American
Federation of Labor. He has held that
office since the organization first at
tracted general attention, and a great
deal of it's success is attributed to his
ability as an organizer. That he is a
man of a high order OF ability, and of
the most unquestionable devotion to
his cause and his organization, has
never been called into question. He is
a forceful and slzillful writer and an
eloquent speaker. On all public occa-
sions involving in any way the eco
nomics of labor his opinions have been
received with distinct favor and his
great influence for good recognized by
all.
President Gompers' probable oppo-
nent in the New Orleans gathering is
concededly the foremost man in the
movement of which both are leaders.
His ability is universally conceded.
His recent success, achieved under the
highest dramatic conditions, has en-
deared him not only to his fellow min
ers but to all who are enrolled In the
membership of trades unions.
The contest will evidently not be one
based entirely on the personal popu-
larity Of the two leaders. According to
the published reports Mr.. Mitchell
stands for concentration; Mr.. Gompers
for expansion; the one for fewer and
larger unions; the other for more and
smaller unions. The autonomy Of the

Beer Kegs for Fuel.

One Of the minor, but picturesque,
results in New York of the coal strike
is the disappearance from Circulation"
of large numbers of beer kegs and
packing cases. Heretofore the brewers
have not found it necessary to take any
special precaytion to insure the return
of the empty kegs after the saloon
keepers have disposed of their con-
tents, but since the present scarcity
of fuel has arisen the temptation to
keep the kegs and break them up to
make fires lis said to be too strong to
be always Resisted. Beer kegs make
good fires. They are built of oak, and
are coated Inside with pitch to make
them air tight, and when split up and
used for fuel they will roast a turkey
or warm hot water radiator with the
best anthracite that ever came from a
mine. To prevent this convenient but
somewhat irregular use being made of
the kegs, brewers in this and other
cities are preparing to take extra pre-
cautions to- insure the return of their
property.-New York Times.

several unions has always been a prfn-
ciple plainly cherished by President
Gompers, and he has stood against any
movement which tended to change the
character of the Federation of Labor
as distinctively federation of trades
unions.
Which of these contending principles
will prevail in the ultimate develop
| ment of the movement or organized la
Dor remains one of the great problems
of the movement It's solution will
probably be seriously advanced by
such a contest as the public are told
is about to take place in New Orleans.
1t does not matter greatly what the
issue may be as between Mitchell and
Gompers. They are both men of great
ability and devotion to their cause;
and under the leadership OF either of
! them that cause is bound to steadily
advance.
It is hard to overestinate the i'm
portance, from either the sociological
or economic point of view, of the great
| movement of which Mitchell and Com
pers are today the foremost leaders in
the country. It's influence is so far
reaching that it affects Immediately.
not only the conditions attending the
lives of the mechanical workers who
are united in organization, but is a
controlling force in the industrial life
of the ceuntry-one which. must be
reckoned with absolutely by men en-
gagged in conducting every kind of in
| dustry. The last attempt to ignore it
or to oppose it's existence was that of
the coal railroad presidents, and the
result of that effort will probably be
final for all time.
The question, Who will be the presi-
| dent of the principal labor organiza-
tion of the country? is of minor con-
cern, so long as man of recognized
ability and honesty is chosen.

DEAD AND DOWN, AND OTHER
TIMBER.

The storm of Tuesday leveled much
apparently sound Democratic presi-
dental timber. Indeed, the spirit of
pessimism begotten of such a disaster
may foolishly lead a good many good
Democrats to ask themselves whether
there is any really good party presi-
Dental timber left standing at all.
1t is not difficult to see that the as
pirations of many available men for
the Democratic presidential nomina-
ton are ended by Tuesdays results
Every leader of the party took part in
the campaign, Cleveland, Bryan, Hill,
johnson. The nomination of any one
of these is made, if not impossible, at
least highly improbable Tom John

So far as relates to individuals the

with reference to Roosevelt He ehas
forced the politicians of his party not
only to accept him, but events have
compelled them to seek shelter behind
him in order to avoid the defeat which
so many of them foresaw. He will be
the party candidate in 1904, and he
will be a strong candidate at that, if
nothing happens in the interval to
lessen his popularity with the masses.
The contract which his party has
imposed on Roosevelt, if taken serious
ly, is quite adequate to the ruin of a
dozen ADLER men than he. For Roose-
velt is looked to, according to the at
titude of the Republican candidates for
congress and the Republican press, to
give us tariff reform and reciprocity
and to destroy the trusts. His party
friends very conveniently placed these
obligations on his shoulders during the
campaign just closed. If he does not
assume them his party must 1t is
certain from every point of view that
there must be some substantial at
tempt at their fulf1llment, or the re-
suits of the elections of 1904 will be
radically different from those of Tues
day.
There will be ample time between
now and the summer of 1904 for Dem
ocrats to consider the question of a
presidential candidate. Principles, not
men, will be under discussion until
then. Today tariff revision is as much
an issue as it was in the last cam
paign. The trust issue has not been
disposed of. The people will continue
to pay no less, with a strong probable
ity that they will have to pay much
more, for the necessaries of life, than
they are now paying.
No great occasion ever arose that
did not produce the man equal to its
demands. Long before the presiden-
tial election, the man will have ap-
peared, and in that contest the De-
mocracy of the country will be united
in his support and in the effort to re-
store the general government from the
control of the trusts to the control of
the people.

The Whole Story.

We have great respect for Science.
We appreciate all that it has done and
is doing, but we submit that it's en-
thusiasms can go too far. The man
who would destroy a kiss may be filed
with enthusiasm for the future of the
human race, but he forgets that if
there were no kisses there would be
no posterity and all his science would
be vain. We believe that the kiss be-
longs where it is, a matter of senti-
nent, a question of the harmony OF
souls. Sometimes they are stolen, and
these are said to be the best, but we
have yet to hear of a magistrate so
cold-hearted as to sentence a man for
such deed. The nice things that
have been said about kisses for a few
thousand years have never come up
to the actual realization.
We have no doubt that Adam kissed
Eve and that Eve liked it. That is the
whole story.-Philadelph Inquirer.
