John j. Kenef1ck Of Hartford Conn
Delivers Address Here.
BERATES THE SWEAT SHOP SYSTEM
Organizer for International Cigar Max
ers' Union Defends Trades Unionism
and Says it Will Aid in Higher Civil
izaton of the World.
[From Saturdays Daily.l

fFrom Saturdays Daily.]
John j. Kenefick, of Hartford, Conn,
one of the organizers for the Cigar.
makers international union, and q
prominent union labor leader, spoke to
a large audience at Labor hall last ev.
ening in the interest of trades union,
ism and home industries. He made
strong statements against the system
of conducting sweat shops in the east
especially in the manufacture OF eli
gars, with which trade he is, of course
most closely associated.
Mr.. Kenefick was particularly sin.
cere in his plea against allowing chill
dren of tender years and girls work
long hours, for poor pay. in unsanitary
places. He spoke of the effect upon
their minds, morals and physical devel
opment which such practice is sure
to have, and contrasted these condi
lions with the more nearly model ones
when the factories are modern and
clean, the hours are short, and where
the workmen and working women are
members of union which protects its
members and preserves their identity
as American citizens in spite of the
fact that they are compelled to work.
Abstract of Address.
Mr.. Kenefick said in part:
Trades unionism today represents
the working people in their effort to
uplift themselves. Unions are ne
cessity on account of the modern com.
merciansm of the twentieth century
and they have grown and expanded in
direct opposition to lowering wages
and increasing hours of employment
They protect their members along
these lines and prohibit them from en-.
tering into competition with each 9th
er which would mean a harder strug
gle for existence on the part of all, and
would in time put stop to the higher
civilization of the world
Speaking of the gigantic combina
lions of the recent past Mr. Kenefick
said that they had almost entirely
wiped out the middle class and com
PEELED the representatives of that class
to seek employment in direct competi
ton with the wage earners of the pre-
sent time. ''At future time not fal
remote the trades unions will solve
the problems of the rights of labor
he said,

Pike a Paradise.

Since the days of Greeley, whose
confdlng philanthrophy was wound
ed by an experiment within our
borders, this county has enjoyed
through his courtesy and by dint of
the persistent iteration of some of
its citizens the distinction of being
a paradise for democrats, whiskey
and rattlesnakes. Whether any of
these products have suffered dimin-
dtion may we'll be questioned. Ac-
cording to contemporaries, who de-
light in recounting such tales,
snakes have been killed here by
the million. It may be possible
that in some instances the Kelley
cure destroyed more than have been
slaughtered by beautiful Amazons
with fence rails. Nevertheless, to
read the columns of snake papers
the numbers here do not diminish
The whiskey. though it is most per-
sistently and pertinaciously punish
ed, survives in almost unlimited
quantity. AS to democrats the To-
cal scribes point with pride" to
the zone green spot" and biannuai-
ly raise their tuneful voices and
shove their witty and trenohant
pens in proclamation of their in
creasing numbers and prodigious
vitality. It must be assumed then
that tho products of our beautiful
county are evolved, fostered, devel-
oped and increased by that on which
they feed. Progression is a law OF
the universe and soon those who
boast so loudly of all that Pike nat
uralIy develops must add another
attraction to the desirable list by
adding thieves to the catalog, and
then we can all sing a quartette in
stead Of a trio.

THE RAMBlER'S plcKINes.

Milford is getting a reputation.
Three horses have been stolen out of
our borough in less than one year.
The stealing Of the Gumble Bros. and
Tobias Nelson horses was bad but
the last one, when a poor brute is put
in a barn and the building set ON
fire, isa little too much. Talk against
lynch law. That is the only law
which should be applied to persons
guilty of such horrible brutality. A
person who will burn a building to
cover his crime will not hesitate to
murder if occasion offers.
The several cottages which have
been closed during the winter are
occupied again and our town begins
to awaken.
Mrs. Augusta Boyd of Port Jervis
has been spending week down here.
Frank Black of Montague informs
us that he has not recovered the COW
he lost about a month ago, reports to
the contrary Notwithstanding.
You can hear some people farther
then you can see them.
The weekly dances at Hickory
Grove promise to be as popular as
ever.
The jolly Five and few of their
friends enjoyed a dance at the Grand
View House Monday evening.
Pretty rough when the costs of
selling a property amount to as much
as the selling price.
No ad, no news.
DIR. John Kelly has the prettiest
and best arranged refrigerator in
town.
There is no use of trying to make
a five minute horse trot in three. 1t
only-worries the horse and makes
the driver look out of place.
The taking down of the hill at the
bridge near Struble's lower mill will
be greatly appreciated by the travel
ing public.
G. N. Cosner Of the Port Jervis
Union spent couple OF days in town
this week getting new subscribers.
With Jesse Shoemakes and Ex-
Sheriff Elijah Vandermark as aspir-
ants for the honor of being county
commissioner and the old board can
didates for reelection, there is liable
to be some fun.

Epidemle Of Crime

It is reported that parties Monday
night stole about sixty ties from a
pile Of Fred Eilenberger on the Smith
tract in Delaware. The wagons were
tracked to Dingmans Ferry but there
the trace become obscure and was
lost. 1t seems almost incredible that
such bulky plunder could be con-
cealed or sold without detection, and
that thieves would take so great a
risk when more portable articles
could easily be selected. 1t is also
said that within the past two weeks
Thomas McKittrick up in Shohola
lost two cows which he suspects
were driven off.

BRIEF MENTION.

Rev G. S. Garretson's team, in
charge of Morgan, ran away
last Monday in Port Jervis being
frightened by trolley car A cou-
pie of bicycles were smashed by the
wagon and one Of the horses slight
ly injured.
James w. Gross and family of
Port Jervis, while driving last Sat
urday, met with an accident near
Manor Hall in Delaware in which
the wagon was wrecked but the oc-
cupants were not injured.
As the Misses Pamela Reed and
Louise Klaer were driving on the
road to Dingnans Wednesday when
near Adams brook the horse took
fright at a carriage top left lying
there after the accident Sunday and
SHE'D The young ladies were
thrown out of the wagon and Miss
hlaer was quite severely bruised.
The Boer war in South Africa is
ended after a struggle Of more than
two years and half by the sur
render Of the burghers. The terms
are on the whole favorable to the
defeated nation. The war has been
long and expensive for England and
she has lost greatly in prestige, while
the Beers have been nearly annihil'
ated and their county almost com
pletely laid waste.

John Curry Shot.

NHAa 0NAA Ra0hs
Last Friday two Matamoras boys,
John Curry, sixteen years old, and
William Sheen, about fifteen, went
to Brink pond for a days enjoy
ment. About midnight they went
out in a boat to look after the out
lines they had set in the pond, tax
ing with them a gun. In some
manner this was discharged and the
load entered the abdomen of young
Curry terribly lacerating his intes-
tines. He, however, rowed the
boat ashore and the two boys sought
an unoccupied house near by. Help
was summoned and Curry's parents
notified. The father in company
with a physician arrived early Sat
urday morningand the mother a lit
tie later. Medical aid, however,
was unavailing and the boy died
Saturday afternoon. The remains
were taken to his late home last
Sunday and the funeral was held
Tuesday. No blame attaches to the
Sheen boy who was entirely exoner-
ated by his companion before his
death.

THE WASHINGTON LETTER.

The week Just past will he memoir
able for three very remarkable
speeches, all pertaining TO one phase
oranother Of the Philippine question.
On Friday, Decoration Day, Prcsi-
dent Roosevelt not 'only participated
In the ceremonies OF commahioatiun
of the soldier deal who repa.e in The
national cemetery at Arlington, bu
made defeuse of the American
soldiers ia the Philippines which op
pealed TO every brave heart among
his auditorsand which will command
the respect and sympathy Of loyal
Americans througaut the country.
In fact, yesterdays cables brought
word that Mr.. Rousevers ulternces
had called forth loud enc1nliums frunl
the English press. Addressing himself
particularly to the veterans present,
the president said, "The men, who
I'm the uniform Of the United States,
have for the last three years patiently
and uncomplainingly championed
the American cause in the Philippine
islands are your younger brothers,
your SONS They have shown them
selves not unworthy of you and they
are entitled to The support Of all men
who are proud of what you did"
lie admitted that isolated cases of
cruelty had occurred but asserted
that they had happened under great
provocation and that, moreover, they
were being investigated and would
be punished and ne then referred to
the outrages and lynchings which
have occurred i'm the United States
and said, "The men who fail to con-
demn these lynchings and yet clamor
about what has been done in the
Philippines are indeed guilty of neg
Letting the beam in their own eye
while taunting their brother about
the mote in his" The speech as a
whole was strong vindication Of
the American soldiers.

The decision of the senate commit
tee on territories, reached last week,
to permit the omnibus statehood bill
TO 90 over until next session, is a
source of great disappointment to the
friends of the bill, which, outside Of
Senator Beveridge's committee, had
been constantly gaining ground.
Speaking on the subject recently,
Senator Penrose told me that he in
tended to vote for the bill if he got
the opportunity. He said that not
only was the measure indorsed in
advance by the national platform but
ne believed its passage would meet
the approval Of eastern business men.
"Eastern capital is constantly seek
ing opportunities for investment
where the security is good and the
interest reasonably profitable, F"
said the senator. "Past experience
has demonstrated that there are no
better opportunities for investment
than in the newly created states.
Under state laws the security is
better and the rapid advancement
which follows admission to statehood
results in a large demand for capital.
For that reason the passage Of the
bill, whenever it comes, will meet
with approval from eastern business
men,
