American Labor's Share in the Bene-
fits of Protection Prosperity.

American Labor's Share in the Bene.
fits Of Protection Prosperity.
1t is announced from Chicago, I'M
der date of Feb. 1, that on April 1 an
increase of wages will be paid by the
Pullman Palace Car company to ev-
cry man employed in the works.
Nearly 5000 men are affected, and
more than $4,000 will be added to
the company's pay roll each month.
One thousand extra men will be en-
ployed to do the work performed in
the ten-hour day by the old force. I'm
der the old schedule the men worked
sixty hours a week. Under the new
system they will work fifty-four
hours a week and will have their Sat
urday afternoons off.
Lacking only few weeks of nine
years ago the Pullman Palace Car
company did precisely the opposite
thing 1t put in force sweeping re-
duction in the pay of it's great army
Of employees, and because they re-
fused to accept the lower wages a
great strike resulted which cost the
country vast amount of money, and
very nearly plunged this republic into
the abyss of anarchy. This wage reduc-
ton and this strike followed little
more than a year after the Inaugural
ton of a free-trade President backed
up by a free-trade majority in both
houses of Congress. The free-trade
tariff law cooked up by Wilson and
German had not yet been enacted, but
it was known to be coming, and its
effects on all industry, all labor, all
trade, all commerce, all business
were already in full force. 1t was
not the passage of the Wilson-Gor-
man tariff, but the anticipation Of it,,
that carried the country into the
most prolonged and devastating Pc
riod of paralysis and ruin that it had
ever experienced.
The diverse of the picture is now
presented. 1t shows 5000 Pullman
company wage earners working
shorter hours and receiving as much
pay as they did for working longer
hours. 1t shows that these 5000
workers have come into their share Of
protection and prosperity

Changes on the Northwestern.

President Marvin Hughitt of the
Chicago and Northwestern recently
announced that his company has pur-
chased and entered into possession Of
the Fremont, Elkhorn and Missouri
valley railroad in Nebraska, Wyom-
ing and South Dakota, and that it will
be operated hereafter as the Nebraska
and Wyoming division Of the North
western system.
Following this notice announcement
was made by General Manager Gard
ner of the appointment of c. A.
Cairns as general passenger agent
of the Chicago and Northwestern,
with headquarters at Chicago. Mr..
Cairns has been assistant general
passenger agent of the Northwestern
since 1892, and for several years prior
to that was assistant general passen-
ger agent of the Chicago Great West
en-. He has been in railway service
since 1878, commencing as a messen-
ger in the president and treasurer's
Office of the Cleveland, Columbus, Gin
cinnati and indianapolis railroad.
G. F. Bidwell, who has been the
general manager of the Fremont. Elk
horn and Missouri Valley, is appointed
manager of the Nebraska and Wyom-
ing division, including the line from
California Junction to Fremont, with
Offices at Omaha. ]. A. Kuhn, form
erly general freight agent Of the Elk
horn, Is made assistant general freight
and passenger agent of the North
western at Omaha. w. H. Jones is
made division freight agent, and j.

Retaliation Nav Be Necessary.

The loss of Germans meat pur-
chases from this country, contem-
plated by the proposed German tariff,
will seriously injure the export meat
trade of this country, reducing II
twenty-five per cent. 1t is to be
hoped that the injury can be averted
by the exercise of wise statesman
ship on the part of German leaders,
but If 1t cannot the United States
will undoubtedly be driven to the
adoption of retaliatory legislation.
This would cripple Germany far more
than the proposed German tariff af-
fects this country, and would prob
ably have the ultimate result of
bringing that country to terms. 1t
is hoped. however. that such meas
ures will not become necessary

Ia IL Fair?

as it fair to reduce protective
duties on sugar and keep them up on
products of American manufacture,
which successfully compete with for
eign goods in foreign markets? And
as for the plea for suffering Cuba
there is no suffering Cuba.
Francisco Argonaut.
Is it fair? That question is going
to be asked many times and in many
places in the event that the ruling
powers of this country shall decide
to select the agricultural interests
to bear alone the burden Of so-called
reciprocity" The farmers of this
country who grow sugar, tobacco and
fruits are very certain to inquire
why it is that their products are
subjected to foreign competition for
the sole benefit of manufacturers,
whose protection is in no way dis
turbed. 1t will be an awkward ques-
ton to answer.

Knew All But One Thinu.

The professor of mechanics at an
English college once gave a lecture
upon the locomotive, and was particu-
larry struck by the absorption of one
Juvenile listener. He spoke to the stu.
dent after the lecture, and asked him:
We'll, l suppose you understand all
about the locomotive now?" Eyes"

And what is that?" said the professor
kindly. 81 can't make out what makes

concluded, the question as to whether
the treaty should be ratified was
promptly put before the Senate. Al!
the Senators in the city occupied
their seats and all we're prompt IN re-
spending when their names were call
ed. The vote resulted in the ratifca-
tion of the treaty by IS to 5. The
result was no surprise, for all had pre-
dicted that when the offered amend
ments had been disposed of the treaty
would be approved by an oerwhelming
majority.
The first opposition vote recorded
was that of Senator Daniel, of Vir-
ginia. Senator Daniel was joined by
his colleague, Senator Martin, and af-
ter them came the two Alabama Sen
ators-Messrs. Morgan and Pettus:
Senator Teller, of Colorado, also voted
in opposition, and his vote was the last
vote on that side of the question.
When Senator Frye, who occupied
the chair, announced the result there
was no demonstration and the Senate
adjourned. Before this result was
reached, however, it had been decided
to meet again tomorrow at II o,eiocs

New Springfield Rifle.

The United States magazine gun

series OF tests at the Springfield
arsenal to determine whether the new
Springfield rife is the best weapon
with which to equip the army, COM
pleted a portion of its labors today,

vestigations.
The board will then visit prominent
military posts throughout the United
States, where the new gun will be
given practical tests by army marks
men. e..s
Although the tests have been con-
Quoted privately, the expressions OF
approval of the weapon by members of
the board are taken to indicate that
it's adoption will be recommended to
the war department.. The present arm
in use is the Krag-Jorge Com
petent critics assert that so many
marked Improvements have been made
over it that the new Springfield rife
is its superior in every respect.
The new gun differs in material re-
spects from the Krag and Mauser. It
has rod in place of a knife bayonet,
an open sight and three lugs instead of
one. Its initial velocity is 2,300 feet,
carries steel jacketed bullet and will

Romance of the Son of Cuba:
President.

New York, March LIT was learn
ed today that Jose Estrada Palma, son
of Tomas Estrada Palma, president
of the Cuban republic, and Miss Mabel
Jacobs, student at the Normal col
lege and daughter of David B. Jacobs,
a wealthy tobacco importer, were
privately married here on Feb. IL;
The young couple had been acquainted
about year. On the afternoon of
Feb. IL they went, accompanied by
Miss jacobs sister, to the parsonage
of the New York Presbyterian church
in Harlem, where they were married
by the Rev. Duncan Mcmillan, after
which the bride returned to her
fathers home. Fear of parental op-
position appears to have been the cause
of the secrecy of the marriage. Young
Estrada Palma is student at Colum-
bia university. Mr.. Jacobs said to-
night that his daughter positively
denied that she was married to young
Estrada Palma.

The number of land tenants in Ire
land is estimated at $50, 600, and the
rents paid by them annually aggregate
from s25, 600, 600 to $40, 600, 600. In
the arrangement for tie sale of the land
to the peasantry agreed upon between
the Duke of Abercorn, Lord Dunraven
and others, representing the Irish
landlords, and John Redmond and
other Nationalist leaders, representing
the Irish tenant farmers, this rent was
assumed to represent 4 per cent. on
the investment, thus making the latter
from 1925, 100000 to $1,000, 600, 600.
The plan of settlement agree upon pro-
vides that the Government shall buy
the land from its present owners, gly-
ing them in payment bonds when
will produce the same revenues that
they are now receiving in the way OF
rents. The tenants are then to be-
come the owners of the land, reimburs-
ing the Government by paying install
ments in the form of a reduced rent
for a period of fifty years or more.

THE SMART SET.

Here's the story as told without
names by the New York Snn.
Whenever two or three persons have
gathered together in the name of
society in the last few days, one sub
iect has monopolized discussion. This
| is a party that was given on Monday
night by a rich bachelor in honor of
an American-born woman on visit
to this country from England, where
she has for years made her home.
After the dinner, which opened the
evening, there came to the restaurant
from the theatre in which they were
acting, negro comedian and his wife.
They were to revive the tagging
spirits of the guests and did their
work well. They cavorted and sang as
effectively as they do on the stage and
aroused the exclusive audience to
great enthusiasm. It was the dancing
of the pair that in particular delight
ed the guests. But appreciation OF the
efforts of the coon comedians went
even further. The host Of the evening
invited the colored woman to dance.
She accepted and they glided about
among the guests for half an hour
WITH OCCaSlOudl 1uGSIMloo1OuS. LIS
example was soon followed by the wo-
man in whose honor the dinner was
given. Making allowance for any
awkwardness in his situation, she ask
ed the man of the team to dance with
her, and of course she did. Some of
the women guests thought it time to
leave, and the party did break up
shortly afterward. The sigt of wool
" head outlined against the hosts
white shirt and the large brown hand
clasping his guests waist was too
much for most of the party.
The host was Bobby Hargous. The
guest of honor was Mrs. Arthur Paget
of England, formerly Miss Stevens,
daughter of Mrs. Paran Stevens, of
early Smart Set fame in metropolitan
society. Some of the others present
