President Whitmore's Address.

Seized 10 make IL Httlng and representa-
tive city of the best government on the face
Of the earth. He stated to the delegates
that they could do this more effectively than
could the local members. because they had
voice in the affairs Of the government.
while the local members had not, conclud-
ing his argument with the remarks that If
there was anything congressman had re-
spect for it was the man with a vote. Mr..
Whitmore stated that the object of the
meeting in this city was the upbuilding of
the trade, that the upbuilding of trade
was one of the victories of peace, saying
that 1t had been amply stated that peace
had her victories no less renowned than
war.
He referred to feature of the career OF
Napoleon as a striking illustration of this
saying. which happened in connection with
the establishment of the plate glass in
dustry in France. The speaker stated that
in the rebuilding Of one of the many palaces
of that monarch great amount Of plate
glass had to be used Napoleon was told
that the use of the material would entail
a great expenditure, and upon inuuiring
why, was told that none Of the glass was
manufactured in France. Negotiations
were Immediately opened by Napoleon to Sc
cure workmen. but these efforts were un-
successful He Immediately fitted out sew
workmen, who. upon their arrival in
France, were treated with every courtesy,
and were the founders Of the art in that
country Mr.. Whitmore referred to the
bloodless victory thus achieved, and con-
trasted it with the victories of the great
soldier won by the sword. In concluding
his remarks President Whitmore said:
ITO US who have taken prominent part
in these arrangements, some little credit
must be due. but to the rank and file
of both unions who have for the past I'VE
or six months been paying their assess
ments and rendering this program possible

bid you God speed In your work"

Senator Hanna did not disappoint
the Amalgamated delegates at Coium-
bus last evening in bis reply to Pres
ident Parry, of the Manufacturers AS
sociation He took up the New Orleans
address of Mr.. Parry and tore 1t to
pieces, bit by bit The senator did not
indulge in invectiye, he contented h4FR-
self with calm, dispassionate logic. Here
is where Mr.. Hanna had the best CT It,
Mr. Parry, in his address, stormed and
,oged and heaped abuse upon the labor
leaders. In short, he lost his temper
and when man loses his temper he
damages his cause. The arguments
used by Mr. Hanna in his rep'y are
not new. They are more ideal than
practical. He pleaded for closer fel-
lowship of labor and capital and as
Lerted that the millennium would not
arrive until the two forces had become
amllgamated. Anybody will agree to
this, but the process of amalgamaticn
is what the senator should clucidlte.
Judging from the stand taken by Pres
ident Parry and his followers, this con-
Summation is long way off.

unlikely that any serious charge will
be sustained against this man but II is
probable that some sort Of. Indictment

believes that the saloonists are on the

exceeded the expectations Of the tmost

be carried into the very heart Of the

scheduled for an election in the near
future and later the city of Alliance
must face the music. If East Liver
pool goes dry the league may well
have cause for jollification. Every
city in the state may be relied upon To
do the same. 1t will be test case and
victory there will be to the Anti

was to the English. Alliance next, and

The New Eiscal Year.

The city solicitors OF the various
municipalities will meet in Columbus
next week to wrestle once more with
the conflicting or ambiguous sections
of the new code. Some of the PROB
lens which confront the convention OF
sages are really discouraging. There'
for instance, is the mix-up concerning
tho fiscal year.
Section SO and 81 of the code pro-
yides that the fiscal year in each mu-
nicipatity shall begin April and enu
twelve months later. The mayor, III

his annual budget to present to coun-
ell ON April l, showing the current ex-
penses. and the statement of the city S
expenditures which the coancil may
require to be printed is tolbe made for
the fiscal year Immediately preceding
the first Monday in April. There is
discrepancy here, for the first Monday
in April may fall on the first day CT
April or later.
Section AZ provides that the fiscal
yeac of each Office. board and depait-
ment shall terminate the 31st day cf
December of each year and all ac-
counts shall be closed on that day and
all annual reports required by law
shall Ice made for the year terminating
on that day, notwithstanding that in
previous sections it is provided that
statements shall be for the year end
ing the first Monday in April which
might fall as late as The 7th of the
month while estimates shall be for ex-
penses for the year beginning on the
brst day Of April, the whole being !,
mix that could not have been greater
had the code makers studied TO make
The provisions conflicting.
An Akron paper says that the Co
( lumbus officials are in error, having
hcorrectiy interpreted the code laa-
/euage in section sc for those who
hsve made study Of that section al.I
section ~ which provides explicitly
that the fiscal year shall end with De-
oember 81 thinl: that the wording In
section S6 tine last fiscal Monday IN

December 81. thus giving officials some
tine in which TO make out statement 3.
