MANY TONS OF
PLATE GLASS USED
$4,000 Has Been Spent in Win
=, dows for the New Young
Y Building.

What does that fellow rub that soal
over the new pane of glass for?''
20, that is to keep people from trying
to butt through it. You see when {
new pane of clean glass as large a!
that is put in new building wher,
carpenters are at work there is danger
of them trying to run through the glass
thinking that it is an open space a:
this glass we are putting in is so clear
with nothing in back of it, that one
and therefore know that there is glass
In San Francisco we put in a glass
worth about hundred dollars and five
minutes later Chow went right
through it, poking two-by-four ahead
of him. He didn't see the glass
The first speaker was a curiosity
seeker and the last one Foreman
Storrs who has charge of the work
of putting the large amount of glass
in the new Young Building:
Storrs represents the firm of w. P.
Fuller & Co. of San Francisco who
have the contract to put in the glass.
He came down on the Korea and
brought two other glass experts with
him. Fifty thousand dollars worth of
Hglass is required to properly fix up
severy window in the new building.
This building has larger frontage
than any building in San Francisco.
You have over seven hundred feet here
of frontage on this one building and
when you consider that all this repre-
sents plate glass of the finest quality
you can imagine the cost of it. 1t will
take us about two months to place the
glass in position.
The work of putting in the big plate
glass is very particular labor. Each
of the larger panes is worth over hum
bred dollars and extreme care must be
shift it around if it were so much wood.
Some plates weigh as much as $50
pounds. Each plate must be cut to the
required size and it is marvellous with
Wnal ease lnlS WoIh IL uoHe. Ao via
mond cutter rips the glass apart easily
and little tap of a small hammer
does the rest.
AS Hawaii is counted as place
where there is risk from earthquakes,
in erecting plate glass some precaution
must be taken against damage from
small shakes. The glass is trimmed toI
such size that there is a small mar
gin at the top and on each side from
the wood frame and it rests at the bot
tom on small lead slugs so that a build
ing could be shaken considerably with
out any injury resulting to the glass
The glass rests exactly level on its base
and is puttied all around.

A New Issue in Kentucky.

Did Representative Irwin take. nap in
his chair during an important session of the
House? This Is the issue in the fifth Ken
lucky district. Mr. Irwin denies the charge,
but his opponents insist upon it. AS Ken
lucky oratory is strenuous and some of 1t
inspiring, Kentucky people are inclined to
rebuke man who can sleep during the de-
livery of a speech, and consequently this
Louisville statesman Is little sensitive. At
this distance, however. the question arises,
who was the orator on the occasion in
question, and what was his subject? If Mr..
Irwin did doze it may have been from sheer
and justifiable WEAKNESS. Not all the
speeches delivered in Congress are worth
attention, and as a matter of fact not many
of them receive attention. Some men sleep
through orations, as others do through ser
mons. Some employ the time writing let
tiers. Some read their favorite newspapers.
Many make their escape from the hall
and light cigars and swap stories.
What is known as the Legitimate audience
of the average congressional orator is COM
posed of his colleagues and intimate per-
sonal friends. Attention is not obligatory on
anybody else.

Tags on Historic Spots.


The Business Mems Association of Wash
ington has under considerable a project
which doubtless will receive the hearty ap-
prevail of the thousands of persons who an
nually visit the national capital not only
to see the present day sights, but also to
fix in their minds places of historic asso-
citation. During the recent Grand Army
encampment the citizens executive COM
Mittee carried out a novel and instructive
idea by placarding two hundred spots which
have places in history with signs giving a
brief history of each. These epitomes were
elaborated in pamphlet which was dis
tr1buted gratis, and altogether this feature
was one of the best of the, many provided
for the strangers. 1t is now the intention
of the Business Mems Association to max
the marking of historical places a perma-
nent facility. and If Congress will respond
to a petition now being prepared an appro-
priation of 5000 will be ma de to carry it
into effect. In place Of perisha BILE placards
1t is intended to erect bronze tablets, and
the average visitor who has gone to Wash
1ngton and seen the conspicuous attract ons
in day or two. will marvel when he re-
turns to find how many places of absorb
ing interest he has passed by simply be-
cause there was nothing to call his atten-
tion to them.

The Passing of Jim" Younger

Ex-Convfct James Younger had a fair
cnance at reform after he was paroled
from prison in Minnesota He was given
empioyment-rather gruesome job-selling
tombstones. but. nevertheless, honest and
remunerative. He was not scofred at or
Stunned by people. The law it is true. did
not allow him to marry, but that did not
AFFECT his status. He finally lost his nerve
and killed himself. perhaps because of the
pain of his wounds, perhaps on account of
his disappointment in love- perhaps through
brooding too much upon his unfortunate
past. He and his brother Bob" always
regarded themselves as martyrs claiming
that they did not commit the crime for
which they were convicted. But they were
undeniably members of the notorious Jesse
James gang and had been implicated
in numerous outrages. 1t mattered but
little in point Of fact whether they ac-
tually took life in the last raid. They were
deserving of severe punishment and when
1t was given to them the public conscience
was easy.

The ClarkSon Letter,

The letter of James s. Clarkson on the
subject of the so-called '1ily-white" repub-
licanism in the south lets in a little addi-
tional light curious a piece of po-
lltical charlatanry as we have ever Witness
ed in this country.
That there are men in the south who while
affiliating with the democratic party have
yet believed in and wished for the success
Of the policies of the republican party is
open to no question. That these men have
felt uncomfortable in their strange attitude
is altogether likely. That they have can
vassed the question of change Is quite as
likely. One may easily believe too that
the negro has been the stumbling block in
their way. He was enfranchised against
their WILL he enjoyed his political privileges
for brief season against their protest and
then he was stripped Of his privileges
through their cooperation. Logically
enough. therefore, they make 1t a condl-
ton in entertaining republican proposals
that the negro be counted out by the repub-
licans as he has been by them.
But what shall be said of the republicans
in the south who agree to this proposal?
How deserving are those men who. having
for years openly solicited and received the
support of the negro at the polls and been
him, now turn against him without hesita-
ton a mere trade for votes and refuse
him further recognition? What claim have
they upon the confidence of the country ?
Who can wish success to men capable of
such open and fragrant ingratitude? The
American people love fair play even in a
dog fight, and they insist upon it in a con-
test where human rights and human conduct
are involved. Clearly enough, if there is to
be republican party in the south composed
exclusively of white men it should be of
fcered and led by men who do not owe their
distinction to the cooperation of the negro
at any stage OF their careers.
The ''lily-whites" are doomed to over
whelming defeat. They are going to as
sound a drubbing as men have ever re-
cetved at the ballot box in the United
States. And then we shall hear after all is
over that the Clarkson letter did the BUSH
ness. But for that, we shall be assured,
the movement would have swept the south,
ana have stood the democracy in North
Carolina, Alabama Louisiana and elsewhere
on its head. Humbug. pure and simple
Not so very pure either, but very simple
The lower south will remain democratic for
many year to come. let the issues be as
they may, and the partys national leader
snip as eccentric as you please.

Mr.. Hill and His Coal Plank.

Mr. Coler's reputation of the coal plank of
the New York democratic platform has not
removed it from the field of discussion.
This arises in part from the fact that Mr..
Coler really doesn't count. The public cares
little about his views on any subject. What
keeps up the discussion is the fact that
David B. Hill still supports the plank.
He does count. He is playing politics now,
with the party machinery of a powerful
state at his command, and palpably for the
purpose of making himself his partys next
nominee for the presidency. He was not
born yesterday and he has never been
rated as a featherhead. What then, it may
be asked, explains this attitude of Mr.. Hill,
with the coal strike settled and the pres
sure relieved? Why hold on to the plank
so aggressively when the cause that i'm
mediately produced it has for the time at
least disappeared? Does he expect re-
newal of the subject in the next two years,
and is he holding himself in readiness for
that daY?
The democratic national platform of 1896
was very extreme deliverance on the silver
question, and it took away the breath of
a faction of the party. The country was on
a soup-house basis, and the roads were
crowded with idle men and tramps. Silver
bullion was quoted below fifty cents. And
here was declaration in favor of the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio
of 16 to 1 without the aid or consent of
any other nation. Men who had never voted
any but a democratic ticket baked at that.
And yet the great majority of the demo-
cratic party had been advocating free silver
for years This convention had simply put
into the party's platform what had come to
be known as the party's convictions on the
silver question.
Now, the populists, and many democrats
acting with them. have been advocating
government ownership of public utilities,
and the country has become somewhat IA
niliar with the proposition. The coal strike
has simply enlarged the proposition to the
extent of adding governmental ownership
of the anthracite coal fields. and there we
are. May we be surprised If this PROPOSE
ton Is presented to the next democratic
national convention? And If 1t should be
NEST prominently mentioned today in con-
nection with the democratic nomination for
the presidency would refuse to stand on
the platform on that account? Have we not
seen men stand on platforms to certain
planks of which they were bitterly OPP
posed?
Those democrats who desire their party
of state socialism have fight on their
hands, and they cannot grid up their loins
and take the field too soon.

of social reform. The prisoner released at
ter serving his term, even with the best
of records while in custody, is under sus-
picion. 1t is most difficult for him to make
his way to earn an honest living. Natur-
ally the employer prefers a man whom he
knows to be beyond suspicion to the man
who still reeks of the prison damp. The
Prison Reform Association has made some
Roadway in overcoming this prejudice and
finding places for released convicts, and in
the main the results have justified the con-
fidence of the propagandists in their theory
that the average released prisoner is as
worthy of trust as another who has not
been guilty of any infraction of the laws.
Younger's reformation after years Of re-
straint does not necessarily establish the
virtue of the parole system, however. He
could not possibly have lapsed. He was
too conspicuous. Every move was watched.
His trade, too. has largely gone out of
fashion, despite an occasional hold-up or
daylight bank robbery. His pals are all
dead. He was too old to take the road
single handed. The burglars profession
has advanced remarkably in the past
twenty years. The safe blower is a me-
chanic of high degree, a worker in tools
who could doubtless earn good wages at an
honest trade. Younger had no other re-
course but to be honest or go back to prison
instanter Nevertheless, his example was
wholesome, and should make for a success
full application Of the parole system In less
conspicuous cases where the lives of the
released men are worth more to society,
they being younger and capable of more
years of honest effort.

The Strike is Off.

The strong leadership of John Mitchell
has caused the hard coal miners to adopt
the course of wisdom in deciding, by a viva
voce vote, to declare the strike off. All
fears which may have been entertained that
this course would not be pursued are proved
today to have been unfounded Whatever
may have been the view of few of the
delegates. representing the more radical ele-
ment among the strikers, favoring the con-
.tinuation of the strike until the union should
be recognized directly by name, their ad-
vice was not followed and as far as the
public is informed was uttered only in the
feeblest tones.
The strike being declared off the men will
now so back to work Thursday after nearly
five and a half months of idleness. There
WILL of course, be some friction at first, as
the men who struck seek to recover the
places they left and in some cases find them
occupied by others, who have undoubtedly
earned a certain right to employment by
their fidelity to the operators during the
strike. This is especially the case with the
pumpmen and engineers who have, at great
risk of life and the welfare Of family, kept
the mines from flooding. Had these men
left the mines work could not now be re-
sumed, however clamorous the public for
fuel.
But it is to be assumed that in the later
adjustments Mr.. Mitchell will strive con-
stantly for the suppression of disorder. He
has gained national renown as masterful
man, a man of resource and judgment 1t
Is inconceivable that he will now permit the
seeming victory which he has won for his
men to be turned into defeat through the
foolish actions of some of the workers who
find themselves now perhaps temporarily
out of employment because their places
have been filled.
Beginning work on Thursday morning the
men will be able to start the outflow of hard
coal toward the market by the end of the
week. The usual custom is for the mines
to be worked day and night, so that 1t will
not be possible, save by increasing the size
of the gangs, to swell the normal output of
the mines. The greatest difficulty in the
marketing of the coal will be in the trans
portatlon, but 1t may not be doubted that
extraordinary efforts will be made to en-
ploy every possible and, if necessary,
what in order to give free Roadway to the
coal trains. Every day is precious. for this
warm weather cannot last long. and when it
ends there will be intense suffering If mean
while the people have not been even to a
limited extent supplied. Thu problem of dis
tribution will tax the energies and capacity
of the railroads and other distributors.
