Ohio Republicans on Irusts.

The republican politicians of Ohio
must suppose that the people never
think for themselves or that they have
very short memories.
The republican convention of that
state adopted the following resolution
as part of its platform:
All combinations that stifle compe-
tition, control prices, limit production
or unduly increase profits or values,
and especially when they raise the
prices of the necessaries of life, are
opposed to public policy and should
be depressed with strong hand"
For the last five or six years the re-
publicans of Ohio have exercised al
most controlling power in establishing
national policies.
They have had the president, the
most influential member of the senate,
who is also chairman of the repub-
lican national committee, and the
leading delegation in the lower house
Of congress.
What have they done toward re-
pressing with strong hand" the
combinations that stifie competition,
control prices, limit production or TN
duly increase profits or values?"
What have they done to repress
combinations which especially raise
the price Of the necessaries of life?"
Absolutely nothing! 1t is all hum.
bug and false pretense.

for the pad, much to the detriment OF
his wits. He halted continually in

able to finish the interview to his sat.

paper back to its usual place. 1t was
Immediately bounced upon by Mr..

Then He Knew all About II.

No matter how widely some people
travel, they remain provincial, and
hold the village they live in as the
starting point of all knowledge. A
private soldier once introduced him
self to Lincoln as the brother of the
man who gave the Fourth of July ora
ton in Topeka. An Andover clergy
man is said to have fixed the town he
hailed from with equal precision.
He was present at a gathering Of
noted scholars and professors in Ber-
lin. A distinguished German philolo-
gist, just introduced to him, asked
him what part of America he came
from.
"Andcver." said the clergyman,
with proud confidence.
"Eh? Where is Andover?"
Next to Tewksbury." replied the
American.Y Youths Companion.

Illinois Labor Statistics.

Secretary David Ross of the Illinois
State Bureau of Labor Statistics is
gathering data that will be very in
teresting to the industries OF the
state. 1t will show the difference be-
tween the organized industry OF 1897
and the increase in numbers in 1901.
Among the questions that will be an
swered by secretaries and presidents
of unions is the total membership OF
1897 and of 1901, the number of ap-
prentices allowed in the trade, the
number unemployed during 1901, and
the causes that led to idleness during
that year; the difference, If any, in
wages of 1897 and 1901, change of
working hours between those years,
if any; cost per member to maintain
the organization Of his trade; the
benefits and insurance that Is paid by
the organization; the contributions
that are made toward organizations to
maintain union wages and conditions;
the relation that convict labor holds
to the various trades; the affiliation
with kindred trades, central bodies
and declarations of labor, and the bene-
fits derived from such affiliations
This is the first time in the history OF
the bureau that statistics of this ma.
ture have been gathered Of such an
extensive character, and it will be
very interesting to workers and en-
ployers and the industrial world in
general.

Novel Reasons.a Philadelphia Judge
Has for Extending CIemency.
Magistrate Cunningham of the cen
trail police court of Philadelphia is
sometimes a little eccentric in the
punishment of those hauled before
him for misdemeanors. The other
day Bill Jones, who had been found
upon the public highway minus the
faculty of navigation, was afraigned
before him.
Married or single?" asked the mag
istrate.
Single, sir" replied the shaking
culprit.
"You ought to get married. If you
had a wife and family to occupy your
attention you would have no desire to
drink" said the magistrate. "I'll dis
charge you, but l hope you'll give to
matrimony more thought than you
have to liquor"
John Smith, who had also been ar
rested for being intoxicated, was next
called.
Married or single, John?" queried
the magistrate.
Married, your honor" was the
prisoners reply.
"Then you have no business getting
drunk. Drinking should be done by
single men who have no family to re-
quire their attention and cash. You
ought to have remained single, then
the damage you are doing would fall
upon you alone. Go home and think
it over"

True to Its Traditions.

The majority of the United States
senate committee on privileges and
elections has decided to pigeonhole
the proposed amendment to the con-
stitution providing for the popular
election of United States senators. In
this instance the unexpected has not
happened. The senate committee on
privileges has always represented the
privileged classes.

trust, which proposes to beat him for
reelection. This is painful state OF
affairs. Hitherto no one has ventured
to question the supremacy of the
Pennsylvania railroad in the politics
of the state. The action of the steel
trust will not only disturb Mr.. Quay,
but 1t will unsettle the allegiance OF
the average Pittsburg voter. who will
be in doubt whether to stick to his
old master, the railroad, or knock his
head against the ground before the
steel trust.

rocco manufacturers in Lynn, Mass,
made shipment to that country of g..
500 dozen skins, which shipment is
said to be the largest ever made from
there for foreign parts. 1t is not so
very long ago when the best kid shoes
were made from skins imported from
France. Now France is buying large
quantities of kid from this country.

Can Not Feel Sympathy.

Gen. Wood, who drew some $500 per
month from the Cuban treasury for
the maintenance of his official dignity
and who likewise ran up extensive
wine bills for the new republic to pay,
is violently opposed to any clemency
for Mr.. Hanna's friend Rathbone. The
circumstances inevitably recalls the
case of the husky mendicant who
drove off the smaller vagabond with
the declaration: I'm working this
side of the street myself"

Unionlsm and Wages.

Trade unionism is as prominent,
and even more so, in America than on
this side, and this fact alone annuls
the statement that these organiza-
tions tend to kill any industry. In
America, it seemed to me, that spe'
cialization was a distinct feature in
most of the trades, such as the iron
and steel, furniture, and items of a
domestic character. Many other
branches no doubt might be enumer-
ated, but | merely state these as be-
ing, perhaps, the most prominent,
casually nsidered.-Report of Brit
ish Workingman who recently toured

How to Increase Wages.

Congress could in single day raise
the wages-or raise the purchasing
power of the wages, which is quite as
well-of every workingman In the
United States by lowering the tariff
wall behind which the beef trust, the
sugar trust, the coal trust, the steel
trust and the rest make their gains by
charging what the traffic will bear"
Fussing with the trusts in the courts

The league has an insurance and pen

Our Duty in the Philippines.

What we did in Cuba was to an
nounce formally by act of congress
that we would leave the government
and control of the island to its people
so soon as government should have
been established under certain speci-
fed conditions. We ought to be
equally definite and explicit in the
case of the Philippines. The Cubans
knew just what we wanted of them.
The Filipinos do not yet know what
we want because congress has never
told them. Let us give OUR word to
them as we gave it to the Cubans.

Kill Piecework.

No more remarkable victory for la

the machinists of the Mount Clare

road company. The company an

piecework system, and the 1853 men in
the shop rebelled. They were not or

fight, and at the same time gained a

Rottenness in Cuba.

There is evidence in plenty that
there was enough rottenness in Cuba
to demand a searching investigation
by congress, and 1t is to be hoped that
the examination into the financial af
fairs of the island during the Amer
lean military occupation will be
prompt and thorough. The accounts
show that there are many items de-
handing explanation and the explana
ton should be forthcoming in the in
terest both of the good name of this
country and of the welfare of the
bankrupt government Of Cuba.

Hears Plea for Humanity.

Senator Hoar's mastery appeal for
humanity in the Philippines debate
can only be answered by his repub'

tional selfishness and brutality. His
speech rings with real patriotism as
Foraker's rings with the false. And
we believe that the sentiments ex'
pressed by the eloquent sage from
Massachusetts, are those of the great
majority of the American people The
republican men on horseback will do
we'll to heed this warning from one
who has devoted his life to that party
