THE NOMENCLATURE OF LABOR
A Very Sensible Decinaton of an Ut
terly NonsensicaI Request.

From the New York Sun.
We have received from the editor OF
a well-known western newspaper re-
quest to Join in a movement to promote
the general use of the term free labor"
In stead of "non-union labor" to desig-
nate those who are outside the ranks of
the labor organizations.
This invitation is respectfully declined
for the following reasons:
The term non-union labor is specific
and expresses precisely what is meant
to be expressed. 1t is rhetorically color
less and, therefore, best adapted to the
discussion of questions in which exact
definition Is more desirable than inflam-
matory phrase.
The term suggested as a substitute
for "non-unon labor is an assumption,
an appeal to emotion, and in some degree
an insult to all those to whom it is not
intended to be applied. The vocabulary
of labor disputes in the past supplies
sufficient material illustrating the danger
that lies in provocative epithets.
Free labor, in the American sense. is
universal in this country outside of
prison walls, IL mas peei So ever siiSS
the abolition of slavery and the adop-
ton of the thirteenth amendment The
labor which combines for certain pur-
poses is exercising one of the privileges
of that very freedom; and the labor
which which prefers not to combine, that
is. to remain outside of the unions, is
likewise exercising the same rights of
freedom.
To attempt to fasten the proudest of
American adjectives upon one class of
labor to the exclusion and reproach of
the other class is neither just nor polite.
We accordingly prefer to continue to APP
ply the word free to all American laho
except that which Is penal; and to clas-
sify free labor as union or non-union, as
the case may be.

FIREMEN ORGANIZE.
Union Started in Pittsburg and Char.
ter Will Be Asked.

Pittsburg, Pa, September Att is
learned today that the Pittsburg fire.
men have secretly organized a union
and will receive a charter from Amer
lean Federation of Labor this week.
The organization starts with $50
members, and the intention is to fol-
low with the unionizing of the Alleg-
heny fire department on Saturday
next. When these two cities are or
ganized an International association
will be formed by the Federation with
shorter hours and a release from all
political coercion.

IN HOTEL LoBBIES.
PluckY Admission.

"Anniston's future seems brighter at
present than for many years past" said
well known Admission man last night.
For some weeks the city had been trou-
bled. 1t did not know whether the city
was to have a downfall on account of the
shutting down of the Southern Car and
Foundry company or whether the citi-
zens would take on renewed activity and
continue the prosperity felt prior to this
summer.
1.-THE shutdown came to the citizens
of the city as a thunderbolt from
clear sky and just as they are about to
recover the good news comes that on
next Thursday 600 men will be given en-
ployment at the Southern Car and Foun-
dry plant.
while the citizens were in the guam
Diary, spirit arose among its people and
many plans were devised to place the
town beyond being influenced by one
large plant. One of the most feasible
was that of T. R. Gordon, of the Even
ing Star, who offered to contribute 500
towards each of several $4,000 industries
to be located in the city and with this
has been contributed towards the first in
dustry, the contributions ranging from
500 to $500.
Besides Mr.. Gordon's scheme, the sec
rotary of the Commercial club w. T.
Owen, has put renewed energy into the
governing board of the club and they
are now holding meetings every week.
Secretary Owen is in correspondence with
a number of concerns and expects within
the next year to locate a number of in
dustries, employing from twenty-five to
several hundred men each. Another
scheme to get ahead was that of Milton
G.. Smith of the Hot Blast, who is lending
his efforts toward $1OOo,O0O steel plant.
This scheme if carried through will mean
much to Admission, not only as an indus
trial center, but in many other ways. 1t
will be the cause of a number of blast
furnaces being erected to furnish material
for the plant and give hundreds of men
employment. In this project a practical
gentleman of Pittsburg agrees to contri-
butte half of the necessary capital If the
remainder can be raised locally.
Aside from these schemes and projects,
the Model City is as she was before the
threatened downfall establishing indus
tries and erecting many new buildings.

HOME THEY BROUGHT HER WAR.
RlOR DEAD.

BY Tennyson.
Home they brought her warrior dead;
She nor swooned, nor uttered cry;
All her maidens, watching, said.
"She must weep or she will die"
Then they praised him, soft and low,
Called him worthy to be loved.
Truest friend and noblest foe;
Yet she neither spoke nor moved.
Stoler a maiden from her place,
Lightly to the warrior stepv,
Took the face-cloth from the face;
Yet she neither moved nor wept.
Rose a nurse of ninety years,
Set his child upon her knee
Like summer tempest came her tears
Sweet my child, live for thee

FORTUNE HUNTERS.
From the Rochester Democrat and Chron

From the Rochester Democrat and Chron-
icle.
The marriage of many American girls
of wealth to titled foreigners Is Just now
receiving more than usual attention. The
disclosures regarding the post-wedding
experiences of some of the brides who
have left their homes and native land to
become the wives of real or bogus noble
men of Europe are in many cases humil-
Eating and distressing.
Margaret Van Ettan in a cabled article
from Vienna gives a few of the names
of American women who have come to
grief by such foreign alliances. There are
thirteen on her list, and the number
might be increased by a thorough study
of the newspaper files. Every woman men,
toned married a title, and the most, If
not all, of them were the subjects Of ex-
tensive newspaper notice when their we'd
dings occurred Their triumph was in the
blaze of publicity; their humiliation and
suffering have been chiefly in private. In
secured divorces or are living apart from
their husbands.
Some of the daughters of Americans OF
wealth have contracted happy marriages
with foreigners and by their subsequent
lives have reflected honor upon their ma
tive land in their new homes. There is no
reason why an English nobeman should
not fall in love with a rich American girl
and marry her, precisely as he might have
loved and married a poor English girl.
1t Is not such cases which are open to
criticism, but the numerous alliances
which are clearly the product of fortune

sALIsBURYs CHARACTERISTICS,

From the London Spectator.
Aloofness, sincerity aud self-control
were the three marked qualities in the
late Lord Salisbury which, displayed as
they were by a man of high intellectual
powers and great hereditary rank, Sc
cured for him the admiration and ulti-
mately the confidence of his countrymen.
Lord Salisbury had many reasons for
pride, and all tended to keep him aloof
from other men. He was, to begin with,
a great noble with adequate wealth, an
unstained name and a pedigree which
stretched back to the Tudors through
names that were intertwiued with the
history Of the country. He did not despise
the commonalty at all they being as
much creatures of Allah as himself; but
he thought that historic descent insured
in good men qualities their interiors were
apt to lack, and he preferred those quail
tiles.
From the Saturday Review.
Lord Salisbury will be remembered for
three things: For having defeated home
rule for having kept the peace between
France and England at the time of Fash
oda and for having prevented the inter-
venton of Europe in the South African
war In each of these three great tri-
umphs of craftsmanship may be detected
the ground-note of his character and ca
reer. Lord Salisbury was not an orator,
not a party manager, not a propounder
of programmes. But he was one OK the
greatest prime ministers of the last CEN
turv

FINE IMAGINATION.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The Macedonian revolutionists have re-
markedly imaginative press agents, or
else they must be without hope of sue
cess in any kind of warfare known to
civilized nations. The stories set anoat
of plans like the smuggling of cannon
into the harbor of Constantinople on a
merchant steamer manned by volunteers
ready to die for the sake of firing a
few shells at the sultans palace are the
work of romancers or of madmen.

These firms hope to flood the world
with their paper hats and umbrellas,
which will be sold at extremely low prices.
They also anticipate that they will be
able to introduce striking novelties in
the way of decorations of mems hats,
which in their opinion are far too mo-
notonous and dull. Their umbrellas and
sunshades are likewise to be brightly
colored,
