hor papers are urging his candidacy
for vice president of the United States.
They would curtail his usefulness and
sink his individuality in this office
without even the formality of consult
ing him in the matter!
AS yet, Mr.. Mitchell has given no in
timation Of his attitude in regard to
political preferment, but it Is safe to
say that he is too intensely interested
in the miners cause to even notice
these establishments. We do not say
that Mr. Mitchell should not, at some
future time, aspire to. a higher position,
commensurate with his unusual abil1-
ties, but we do mean to say that he
would be betraying a solemn trust by
deserting his post at this time, or for
some time to come. Moreover, we are
firmly persuaded that Mr.. Mitchell rea-
Lies this only too we'll. He is not the
man to shirk responsibilities in pursuit
of personal aggrandizement, and We
have no fear as to his final decision.

CLERKS AGREE
TO WORK NIGHTS
BUT WANT EXTRA PAY FOR OVER
TIME DURING MONTH OF
APRIL.
Retail Clerks Union Gives the Mat
ter Full Consideration, -Four Lead
ing Firms Agree to Pay their Help
for Overtime. C. w. Ericsson IL one
Of the First to Agree to this. T.. Did
it Without Hesitation.

The Retail Clerks union is ready to
meet the clothing dealers who desire
to keep open in the evenings during
the month of April half way. At a
meeting Of the clerks union held last
Tuesday evening the matter was dis
| cussed at length. Many clerks are Of
the opinion that the opening of the
stores in the evening will have no af-
| feet in drawing the trade Of the lum-
bermen. They, however, are willing to
| give it a trial, but the clerks expect
overtime for the extra hours they will
be obliged to work Appropriate reso-
| lutionse were drawn stating the un-
| ions position, and committee was ap-
pointed to present them to the cloth
ing dealers. -Four clothing houses
agreed to the terms of the resolutions,
but two of the most prominent firms
in the city refused, and another meet
ing was called by the union to give the
matter further consideration. At this
meeting the union reiterated it's posi-
, ton, and declared it to be its purpose
to antagonize those merchants who
remained open after hours, without
compensating their statesmen for the
extra time they will be required to
work.
The matter in all probability will be
carried to the Trades Assembly, and 1t
is expected that the assembly will ba ck
up the union in its contention.
G. w. Ericsson was one of the first
clothiers in the city to agree to pay his
help for overtime He signed the re-
solutions Of the clerks union withou,
a moments hesitation. Mr.. Erickson
has always been true friend to union
labor The members appreciate this
and this is why he Is getting the cream
Of their trade.

petitioned the Scot-American philan-
thropist for a "libry'', and, to it's great
misfortune got one. The public
schools, the workhouse, the waterworks
and the other penal institutions" de-
clares the veracious Dooley. were at
once abolished, and the people began
to WorkSto.suppor the .*libry." In five
years the population had deserted the
town to escape taxation" Many
true word is spoken in jest, and it is
possible Mr.. Dooley has discovered the
weak point in the Carnegie Library
scheme. Even that form of philan-
thropy is as great and good as Mr.. Car
negie thinks it is, it will do the phil
anthropist no harm to read Mr..
Dooley's views on the subject. Many
persons have reasoned themselves into
the belief that a. benefaction with a
bonded debt alta chment is possibly not
the greatest blessing which can be be-
slowed upon mankind.-Baltimor Sun.

D00LBY and
CHARACTERIZATION
Mr.. ,DOOlEYS VIEWS ON AN
INTERESTING SUBJECT.
A Benefaction With Bonded Debt
Attachment is Not tho Greatest
Blessing on the List-Literature
and Taxes.

If Mr. Andrew Carnegie's sense of
humor is as we'll developed as his phil
anthropic instincts he will have hearty
laugh over Mr. Dooley's amusing an
alysis of the Carnegie library scheme.
Mr.. Dooley expresses grave doubt
whether the Scot-American's benefac-
tions are philanthropic as they appear
to be- "A Carnygie Hbry." observes
the irreverent humorist "is archytec-
foor, not lithachoor." Mr.. Carnegie is
represented as saying: me efforts Is
not appreciated ivrywhere- I offer a
city a libry and oftentimes it replies
an asks me for something to pay off
the school debt. I raycieve degraded
pettyshuns from so-called proud met
hroplisis asking for a gafhouse in
place iv libry. I pass thin by with
for a fivty-thousand dollar libry is that
it shall raise wan million dollars to
| maintain the building and kape me
| name shiny; an if it won't do
that much for lihtrachoor, the divvle
take it. It's onworthy of the name
| of an American city. What ivry city
! needs is lithrachoor and taxes. I give
them both. Three cheers for libry
and bonded debit
Mr.. Dooley is not only a humorist
but an, economist in a humble way
He can't understand Carnegie's gener'
GUS schemes for introducing the public
to the blessing: Of *'lichrachoor'' at the
! expense. o. the tax payer. He cannot
comprehend why the tax payer should
be happy when the scot-Americar
hands him q: ''libry'' with a bonded
debt; string attached to it. Mr. Doole,
is a.: plain man of1an artless nature
He doesn;'t think tits nice to be taxee

mean much to. the future welfare of
the Zenith City.
There is another crime added to the
hundred or more already committed in
the name of the courts in West Vir-
ginla. During the anthracite strike a
Judge Jackson is4ued an Injunction
restraining the officers Of the miners
union from distributing food among the
striking miners or their families. This
injunction was the subject of a good
deal of frolic among the legal lights
OF the country. Now, after the: excite
ment is over, in the name of the
courts number of colored miners
were cruelty and brutaly beaten by
thugs employed by the United States
Marshall. The mine workers. union
sent Shas Evans into the West Virginia
district, and his report exposes the
most atrocious plot ever committed in
the name of the law.
Arrested on suspicion.-Mayor Jones
of Toledo says there are more men ar
| rested on this charge, than any other
An example of this was the case OF
Marion Hutchinson in Buffalo who was
| brought before the superintendent Of
police for the purpose of questioning
her about some knowledge she was sup
posed to have possessed Of the Bur-
dick murder. It appears that after the
police got through questioning her
and when the fact that she was held on
suspicion became public property, that
the authorities were entirely mistaken
in their belief that she had committed
the murder, or that she knew anything
about it.
This young woman was highly re-
spected in the community i'm which she
lived. Though innocent as she may be,
she will have considerable trouble liv-
ing down the sting caused by the pre-
dicament in which circumstances
brought her. 1t would seem that per-
sons who are placed in such a position
should have some means Of redress
The police should not be permit

JOHN MITCHELL AND
HIS FOOL FRIENDS.

II any man has reason to fervently
pray: God save me from my friends"
that man is surely John Mitchell. AS
president of the Mine Workers Union
he has, by his sterling generalship and
rare executive ability, brought himself
into a public prominence and high re-
nute hitherto attained by no other labor
leader in all history. He has merited,
and is receiving, the almost unanimous
homage of an entire nation.
There is little danger that this full
some hero worship will turn his head,
as has been the case with so many erst-
while popular idols. Mitchell is too
sensible a man and too forceful a
character to be thus Influenced. And
vet there Is danger for him in this re-
markable public prominence-the dam
ger of being forced from his truest
sphere of usefulness by cverzealous
admirers.
The first indication of this was given
when a certain element in the labor
movement doomed him as a candidate
for the presidency of the A. F. of L.
This movement was set on foot without
he quickly evinced his displeasure by
making ACAuoeaA ~
consider the proposition under any cir
cumstances.
Mitchell bluntly stated that he coulG
be more useful to his fellows as Presi-
dent Of the United Mine Workers thar
in any other public capacity and plain
ly intimated his determination to con-
tinue prosecuting his high mission. =
Notwithstanding this, the Cook .Coun'
ty Democracy last week presumed tt
mention him as an eligible candidate
tor the Governorship OF Illinois, while

/ Comment ON CURRENT EVENTS.
LOCAL, STATE AND NATION.

The Chicago; American does not in
tend to let up until three fourths of the
states have declared for the election
of United States Senators by popular
vote. 1t will then push the matter in
Congress, and attempt to secure the
nece4sary tWo-thirds vote there. It
is coming up the step Of time, though
slow but sure. Like all necessary re-
forms it moves along at a moderate
pace. This it for. the best because it is
the healthiest. There are men who say
that the election Of United States SEN
ators by the people cannot be secured
Ask them why and it will be found that
they have not given the question any
thought, and have not even observed
the progress Of sentiment in this di-
rection.
The Republican papers have been
loud and conspicuous in their reports of
the rumor that Mr.. Bryan would bolt
the Democratic party If it returned
to the camp Of Clevelandism: This Mr.
Bryan has denied, saying that he nev-
er had any fear of the Democratic
party going into the hands of its ene-
mics. OF course if by political manip-
ulation the party should again be con-
trolled by men who breathe the same
atmosphere as Cleveland, neither Mr..
Bryan nor any other man who is true
to himself, and who took the same pos
ition as Mr. Bryan in the last two ma
tional campaigns, could support the
party. There is not very much differ
ence between Clevelandism and the
Republican party, but there Is a wide
gap between Bryanlsim and Cleveland
ism. Perhaps the best thing that could
happen to the common people, would be
the surrender Of the Democratic party
to such old stalwarts 60 as Cleveland,
Hill and German. Then the advocates
Of true democracy could all unite In
a new party free from the contain
ination Of the old party politicians.
There is a field, for such an organiza-
tion in the political world and there is
a golden opportunity for men of pure
| thoughts for the. masses to be Of coli
| siderable service to the people in sucl,
a party.

Sensible Talk,

Eeither Labor nor Capital can do any
thing without brains.
Religion does not consist in joining
church. 1t is the right relation Of man
to God and humanity. It is right liv-
ing, right doing and right thinking. It
is not in a name on the church book,
but in life lived.
y
A labor union is the most liberal of
organizations; it's exaottons are few
and simple. To uphold living wages
is the fundamental rule of a labor
union; to live up to that rule removes
many wrongs affecting the body poll
tic.
1t will not pay to get so industrious
that one has to do work other than
that which is absolutely necessary or
Sunday. A man who works constantly
on board ship six days in the week
! while in port will not do any work or
| Sunday.
! It never pays to gloat over the mis-
take of a neighbor. 1t is better to Of
fer word of sympathy. Misfortun,
Of neighbor can bring no other good
and why gloat over it? The man VIII,
