In point Of wealth and prosperity. the
United States is perhaps first on the
list. and that, after all, Is the real
standard Of measurement as to infu-
ence and power. China, with her over
four hundred millions Of human beings
Ia feeble because OF her financial status
ana Anticipated form Of government.
II Is remarkable that n nation as
young as the United States. should have
risen to such prominence. Barely hun
bred years ago II had only three million
inhabitants, And there is no reason
why the progress should not continue,
If there ever was nation with des-
tiny, this Is one, and II will continue
TO develop as long as the people remain
true TO the principles on which its gov
eminent Is built.
In every epoch of human history the
Almighty has had some nation charged
with the responsibility Of being the
standard-bearer Of enlightenment, to
lead the other nations onward. The
Babylonians the Egyptians, the He
brews, the Greeks, the Romans-all had
their mission to Ill., and when for some
reason or other they failed. others were
called TO take their places, and the
general progress went on. Great Brit
ain has accomplished a marvellous work
in this age, by representing human lib
erty and human rights wherever her
flag has been raised. But American
principles are broader still, and in the
remarkable growth Of the United States
We cannot fail to see the hand of Prov
idence, planning for the further eman-
clpation Of mankind A world-power Is
raised to that dignity because 1t has a
work 10 do for the benefit Of the world.
It Is not accidental II is all part of
the divine plan, the final aim Of which
is the triumph Of truth, justice and
righteousness.

but the news may nevertheless be true.
If II Is, the Danes are simply prolong-

LABOR UNIONS PAY.
Government Figures Show Large
Dividends on Labor Dues-A
Striking Lesson to Negro Work.
ingmen.

There are plenty of Negro working
men IN the United States. The general
habit of the race is hard and useful
work Yet they do not near ALWAYS re-
calye the good pay that hard and useful
work ought to bring. One reason for
this Is that they are so generally nm
organized. Every class of workingman
ought to have it labor unions. Even
m-kllIed labor, provided it is engaged
on steady employment, and is of reliable
character can be organized, and can gain
almost as much by means of organization
a, can skilled labor.
United States Labor Commissioner
Wright, in his official report, gives the
Government stamp of authenticity TO STA
usc, showing the material gain in
wages by the union over the non-uniOn
Workman facts that have often been
published as one trade union after
another has won its battle for better
pay
Figures concerning a few trades in
tcatc the general rule in the United
States, and establish the fact that "it
pays To be a union man." The large
dividends returned for what working
men invest in dues to their organizations
are summarized in Commissioner
HrightS report.
He shows that the union bricklaver
works SIS hours per week. and receives
an average of $3.50 per day. The nom
union brlcklayer works 57.4 hours per
week and receives an average daily
wage OF SLY. Bricklayers' dues are not
III excess OF 81 a month, or $I2 a year,
and the union briCklayer receives $3.50
a year more, and works 6I2 hours less
Uan hlS non-uniOn brother.
Now bricklaying is not a highly skill
ed trade. although it does require more
or less skill But it shows difference
between the organized and the unorgan-
yea portion Of the trade, even greater
than some of the skilled trades. though
these also show great advantages coming
from the unions.
For example: The union carpenter
"oIhs s. hours per week and receives
an average OF S2.53 per day. The nom
union carpenter works 58 hours per week
ana receives $2.I3 per day. Carpenters
HneS are SOC per month, and thev receive
$I@o more per year, while working 2Ia
hours less time oi@
The lesson of this is plain. The
Negro WorNngmen, and working women
too, ought to organize Negro labor
unions, There IS no doubt that the or
ganHzed labor movement in general wor,id
gladly welcome the addition of the color
ed workngmen-even where co1ored
Norkmen can form their own unions
and these will be gladly admitted bv thr
federation Of Labor and by the Knights
Of Labor. The result will be beneficial
10 both races. N--0''o-"i

OF RIVER CHANGED
Beach Shortened and Water in Har-
Dor Deepened by Recent
Seismic Disturbances.

San Francisco, Nov. 10.-The Kos
mos line steamship Luxor, from Ham
burg, reports an unusual experience
at San Benito, a lower coast port OF
Mexico, on October 25. Thirty tons of
volcanic ashes from the volcano of
Mount Quemado fell on her decks.
She was anchored off shore await
ing lighters that were to be used in
transferring cargoes. Without warn
ing the sky darkened until it acquir-
ed the pitchy darkness of a starless
night. Then began a gentle rain of
soft pumic-like ashes, which 500 GOV
cred the liners decks to a depth of
several inches.
Ashore, Captain Zimmerman learn
ed later that the inhabitants We're
planning to seek refuge aboard the
Luxor, but no navigator could be
found with nerve enough to venture
forth in the unnatural darkness. On
board the Luxor the panic-stricken
passengers beseeched the skipper to
up-anchor and away to sea. He at
length granted their prayers and the
Luxor. came away from San Benito
without going through any formality
with the custom house.
The fall of ashes continued until
early on the morning of October rs
when the decks of the Luxor were
a foot deep in powdered pumice stone.
Mount Quemado, from which the
ashes came, is about 70 miles from
San Benito. When 80 miles at sea,
after leaving San Benito, all on board
the Luxor heard deep detonations and
1t repeated earthquake shocks.
There also was q, visitation of my
riads of birds and butterflies.
At Salina Cruz, the following morn
ing there had been a fall of about
three inches of ashes, presumably
from Mount Quesmado.
Captain Zimmerman Of the Luxor
temala, has been considerably chang
ed by great earthquakes along that
part of the coast. Where a depth of
five fathoms formerly existed in the
harbor there is now a depth of seven
fathoms, and the beach has been
shortened by seimic disturbances. The
course of a river or creek that former
ly ran into the sea near the wrecked
piers has been changed, and there
are other evidences of violence of
subterranean quaking.
