Galloway, near the Montgomery line,

which has never been published. Mr.,

of the war and was several times

They Never Get over it.

The New Pork Sun has the follow

by the name OF Sam Bryant;
A man who can bid death wait for
him until he returns from a horse race
has a devotion TO the turf that is worth
while. The American Derby, run 10.
Chicago on Saturday, was the occasion
for the exercise of such a devotions
and, If reports be true, death waited
on Col. Sam Bryant, Of Salem, Ind,
until he had seen his last race.
For half a century Col. Bryant has
been one Of the most picturesque
figures on the American turf, A year
or more ago he was attacked by a
wasting disease. Three months ago
his physicians told him he had four
days to live. The old man, grown old
and gray and feeble in his care Of the
American thoroughbred, heard the say
Of the doctors, and then, looking
straight into their ftces, SAID;

la: Or ckRPEllTE UNION, !

m saTS
The Carpef1tef union al g tlAtl 80. =
feast last tuesday evening. The &C.
casion was the semi-annual election
of officers. Edward Lowe was elected
nresident. Mr.. Lowe has served III
this capacity before, and hence Will oe
no stranger in the chair. He will be
supported by an able corps OF of1'cers'
The vice president, Henry Berblg' Is
now serving his second term. he was
reelected without opposition. Inc
rrincipal contest Of the evening was
for recording secretary. The candl-
dates were ]. W. Richardson, E. r.
Heller and W. H. Appleby. Mr.. Apple
hy was a dark horse and was sprung as
a candidate at the last meeting. he
was elected on the fourth ballot. 5. T..
Skrove was reelected financial secre-
tary for the steenth time without op-
position. The union knows a good
thing when they try it and so it decid-
ed to keep Mr.. Skrove, who has proven
to be very able and faithful officer.
The same is true Of the treasurer. Mr..
Ed. Ericsson. He is the keeper Of the
wampum, and none of it goes astray
without his knowing something about
it. Paul Bolz had no difficulty in be-
ing elected Conductor: and E. Rabitail-
" was elected warden without opposi-
tiOn.
]. H. Baker still continues as busi-
ness agent Of the Carpenters union.
J. w. Richardson and E. F. Heller,
two prospective candidates for alder
men, and prominent members Of the
carpenters were not elected to office
for the reason that the union expects
they will be busy as aldermen for the
next two years.
G.. F.. Davis, ex-president Of tie
Trades Assembly, too considerable in
terest in the election of officers at the
carpenters union. He wanted to see
his friends win.
Samuel Kelley was also in his har-
ness at the meeting and was glad to
know that justice was done all around.
There is some talk of Il new scale for
carpenters at the head of the lakes
next year. The carpenters hope to
have q 81 scale here in the course OF
time.
The District Council of Carpenters
is planning to completely organize the
carpenters Of the entire northwest. An
organizer viii! be sent out before spring
to initiate the work Of organization.
In spite of the cold weather the trade
is considered good. and few carpen-
ters will be out of work this winter
This will help to buy coal during the
cold weather yet to come.

There seems to be a movement on
foot among all the labor organizations
in the United States to enter into pol
itics with the view Of bringing about
some needed municipal and state gov
ernment reforms. The labor organiza-
tions of this country are beginning to
realize that the government of cities
and states and in fact the United
States government, is becoming more
and more every day under the control
Of capitalists. The result Of these
conditions are now being very keenly
felt. Representatives Of city govern
ments are completely under the inf1u-
ence of the corporations, the represen-
tatives in the state legislatures are
about all Of the commercial type, will
ing at all times, for valuable considera-
tions, to do the bidding of wealthy cor
porations and at the capitol at Wash
ington, where the headquarters of the
syndicates Of the United States are To-
Gated, they are in complete control. In
the meantime the workingmen are vot-
ing for political candidates who after
being elected to office. readily becomes
a. convert to the trust theory. Laws
most offensive and harmful to the
working class have few, if any. true
representatives in the legislative bodies.
What they request is generally refused.
but corporations and trusts can get
anything they may desire.
The success of labor wherever it has
made a united effort in politics has
been most gratifying. In San Fran
cisco where labor elected mayor last
year there has been a general and well
come reform in the municipal govern
nent. In some Of the New England
cities labors success at the polls has
been most remarkable, and the admin
istration of. the affairs Of the munich
palittes in which labor men have been
elected has been exceedingly good. This
has given greater encouragement to or
eanized labor in other cities, and it Is
safe to say that before long labor will
he head over heels in politics, in spite
of the protests of many of its leaders.

THE HUMAN STORY.

Ger arrest for bribery. and who fled to
Europe was arrested at Philadelphia.
He was on his way back to st. Louis
10 give himself up, says the ST. Paul
News.
When arrested Kelly said to a report
er:
II have been all over Europe, and
have found no rest. / had determined
to come back and surrender myself
and take the consequences. The sever
ing of home ties and the loss of asso-
Citations pleasant to me, to say nothing
Of being away from my family, was
unbearable to me-
When told that during his home voy-
age his little son Of II years had died,
Kelly broke down and Wept bitterly.
This man who went away tine-appear-
ing and robust and who came back in
three months pale, Wrinkled and aged.
said:
II am glad TO go back to my wife.
who is heart-broken over our boys
death. I can't tell what is ahead Of
me there. don't care, either, now
that my boy is dead
A sad home coming!
And another powerful sermon against
wrong doing.
But will any be deferred thereby?
For thousands of years preachers and
poets have thundered this message:
The wages Of sin is DEATH" BE sure
your sin will find you out!'
And men go on SHINING and suffering.
The struggle in the heart Of Charles
Kelly is the struggle Of every prodigal.
Home ties tugged for recognition.
Charles Kelly discovered that a man
cannot run away from himself.
n-fight-remorse- peni"
tence-return--this is the. ceaselesa
tragedy of human weakness. And yet.
like Mr.. Linger-After-Lust, in "Pil.

up to the very jaws Of defeat, that they
may escape the consequences of those
laws which they know are inexorable.

And now the mosaic workers are up
against it. A machine has been put to
work on the new Pennsylvania building
in Philadelphia which completely re-
volutionizes the trade. The new ma
chine is used to polish the mosaics Of
ter they are laid in cement. 1t is run
by electricity, and one machine will
do the: work of fifteen men. The mo-
sa:c workers are OH strike to secure
control of the machine and enforce un-
ion conditions, but while they are
striking the machine Is working. The
Era, the Philadelphia labor paper, says
that "in discussing what should be
done to regulate the running OF tie
machine so that it would not displav&
a large majority of the nc sale workes%
the union men were all at sea. They
realize they cannot fight against an
improved machine, and they know
they cannot regulate the use Of it by
their union so that it will not displace
a great number of Workmen.' This y:
one Of those economic facts that the
working people are always compelled
to bump into and wrestle with. and
little sympathy they get from the cap
italist class. In fact, the latter class
uses the machinery to Cypress the
workers.
A report from Havana, Cuba, says
the strikers are obtaining some Of their
demands. Class lines were firmly
drawn, however. Secretary Tamayo,
who openly sympathizcd with the
workers, has been forced out OF the
cabinet. The American and Spanish
capitalists declare that his position
during the struggle greatly encouraged
the "disloyal' workingmen to STAND
nat on their unreasonable demands
How carefully the employers guaro
their interests, and the American ana
Spanish bosses are one in the desire
to crush the unions.
