The question of waterworks and
electric ights should be agitated in the
coming city election. We need these
things, and should get them if possible.
The matter should be fully investigated,
and if it is found that the cost is too great
for the advantages to be dirived, then we
ought not to have them. But, on the
other hand, if the systems can be estab-
lished here at a cost commensurate with
the benefits we will receive, why we
ought to get them. In any event, our
people should have the opportunity of
voting on the question.

The time for the election of mayor
and six aldermen for the town, to serve
for the next two years, is near at hand,
and our people should be thinking about
the matter. Mayor f. R. Hays has already
declined to serve any longer, and we
should begin to think about a man to
succeed him. A live, progressive man
should be elected who will keep the town
in the front rank of progress.

TRADES ASSEMBLY: AND
Carpenters UNITE
ALL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN TWO
ORGANIZATIONS PATCHED UP.
Delegates Baker, KELLEY and Skinner
Present New Credentials to the
Trades Assembly. Delegates Greet
Them with Enthusiasm. Roth Sides
are Juh1l1ant Because Harmony
Prevails.

The readers OF the Labor World will
remember that" this paper took occa-
sion. to criticize three members. of the
Carpenters Unions: because it believed
they. were attempting: to disrupt the
local labor movement: This paper never
blamed = moro than one man for this,
but it. charged that tho other two
were being used 'by this selfish indi-
yidual to bring about his Ubiquitous
PLAN @of having an exclusive central
body for carpenters. - Bit the carpen-
ters', union discovered tho motive OF
this mem soon u terSt hes Ia q bor Worlds
exposition. and 81
its delegates til Is rand IS emily.
They were received aty the last meeting
with open arms arms Today no one would
ever. know that: t u: breach had occurred
unless they were told 50 Delegate
Kelley took: the obligation without a
protest. 70 telf<tke truth Mr.. Kelley
was always willing to take the obli-
cation at tho proper time. He con:
tended that it was irregular to force
him to take "a new oath in the middle
of his term. Being fighter Of long
experiences he; made an. issue Of the
question, and. the only way that he won
was by 5bringing new credentials tc
the assembly. Of course this was
satisfactory to the assembly.
Delegate Baker was new delegate
and hence had no scruples about tax
ing the new obligation So:
Heller's hopes are now vanquished
What his next move will be no one
knows. The carpenters union is next
to him; Kielleyt and Baker have in z
measure pulled away from him, ane
the poor fellow presents p4tifu
sight.
He no doubt means: to be right, bu
he doesn't know hoWsx Some, men have
peculiar ideas about things and will
stoop to any thing to- carry them out

could be brought to think alike there
would be no difficulty about inducing
them to act alike.
The men who are termed "Captains
of Industry, and those who have risen
from perjury to millionaires have not
accomplished these things simply be-
cause they have SO much more brains
than all other men. They have achiev-
ed these things because Of three reas-
ons. First, they have been willing
to do those things which other men
with just as much brain.%but with less
adventuresome spirit were afraid to
do. Second, many of them have been
willing to do those things which other
men with equal ability and more prin-
ciple and keener sense of right have
been unwilling to do. Third, their
ventures and efforts have been favor
ed by fortune. The element of luck
can not be eliminated entirely. All of
these men hire brains to manage their
vast affairs for them, and an aggrega-
ton of combination of a large number
of small investors could hire brains
| integrity to administer and conduct
the affairs of an enterprise which they
!
that, whatever skeptics may say or
insinuate, there are many honest men
Of. ability who are honest by nature,
and for pure honesty's sake.
If workingmen owned the enterprise
es. they could pay themselves all the
wages the safe conduct Of the enter
prise would stand. We can not all be
capitalists. Most of us must work.
| The day may come when we. will pat
tern after the honey bee and remove
the drones, whether they be in the
form Of lazy, worthless tramps, or in
the persons of equally useless men,
bers OF society who idle away their
time at Newport and Saratoga In the.
meantime most. of uus can, # we. will;
improve upon the degree of thrift
| with which we manage our small af-.
fairs and our small financies..: Indus
try, integrity and thrift seldom fail
of success.
