A Study of Conditions.

Henry X. McHarg. Jr., of Stamford,
Conn. who is exceedingly wealthy,
has returned home from Virginia,
where he has been working as n
common laborer in the iron and coal
mines in which his father is largely
interested. He endeavored to com
bine the duties of a society leader
by night with those of a working man
by day, but found the strain too
great. His work in the mines was of
the hardest kind. He was employed
- hours a day, seven days in the
week, receiving as wages $1.40 per
day. At night, when the other labor
ers and miners were abed, McHarg
would often lead a cotillion or take
part in some other social event. He
had entrance to the most exclusive
circles and was a general favOrite.
He was taken i'll with pneumonia
and had a close call for his life. He
proposes to return to the mines as
soon as he regains his health.

Gus cruelties and all this in the name
of destiny. We have gone further.
We have imputed to Him who is all
goodness and mercy, the fatherhood
of the unspeakable damnable policy
that robs mothers of their sons, fam
lilies of their homes and divests
agents and prosecutors of this policy
of all sense of moral righteousness.
For the sake of acquiring more ter
ritory, for the sake of affording OPP
portunity for exploitation, for the
sake of extending our commerce, we
have turned away from ar that was
dearest TO Americans, all that was
noble, all that was best, the highest
moral standards possible in a country
governed by mortals. and marched
with triumphant tread to the ac-
compartment of conquering airs. all
unmindful of the fact that we were
inscribing in letters of blood our ma
tiOnal shame and turning away from
the policies that had made us pre-
eminently the greatest and best peo-
pie in the world.
Until it is settled definitely one way
or the other that it is our purpose as
n nation to continue our imperialistic
course and subsequently establish a
colonial system, until the American
people have so far degenerated that
they shall sanction our bloody course.
Imperialism will be an issue in ma
tiOnal politics.

Local Democracy Asserts Itself.

The democracy of Rock Island I'M
mistakably asserted itself in its city
township convention of last evening.
1T effectually, and for all time, it is
hoped, squelched the aspirations of
one man to dominate its affairs. And
the act was done in such well di-
rected spirit of harmony as not to
jar even those most affected by the
proceedings.
The party. in a word, repudiated
bossism both in the proceedings of
its convention and in the control of
its organization. With becoming dig
nifty. with manifest spirit of fair
ness toward every element, yet with
"A firm purpose to hew to the line,
as to the complete eradication and
annihilation of all Objectionable prac-
tices IN self-sought party control, the
convention proceeded with its work
with a neatness and dispatch that
challenged the admiration of all on
lockers.
Strong nominations without an ex-
ception was the outcome, and the

In Nashville last week Charlotte
Booker, a colored cook for thirty-one
years in the family service, was buried
from the mansion of her employer,
whose place of business was closed
two days in her honor. The case is
proudly cited to the New York World
by a southern correspondent as an
instance of how love and care ignore
the color line where there is long
faithfulness to reward. Nashville is
able to recall two parallel cases. 1t is
sure such household incidents are not
common in the north, even where the
service is white.

As to ImperIaIism.

| Judge Murray F. Tuley was one of
the speakers at the IriquOis club ban
quet in Chicago last Monday night.
He is profound thinker and one of
the ablest as well as one of the most
conspicuous democrats in the ranks,
says the Dubuque Telegraph-H Herald.
His address was an appeal for har-
mony in the party, addressed to the
hearts and cOnsciences of democrats,
who see in the republican policies
grave dangers that menace the right
development of American citizenship
and the perpetuity of the nation along
the lines laid down by the founders
of the government. Strike out the
word 'aristocratic,' and substitute the
word 'plutocratic,' in this definition
by Jefferson of the party of Hamilton
an Anglo-American- monarchy -aristo-
cratic party and the name fits the
republican party today" said Judge
Tuley. Well, indeed, it does fit it.
The republican party is the party of
Hamilton 1t has forsaken the doe
trines of jefferson and Lincoln and
stands with the aristocrats of the
revolution. Dreams of an empire
have led it into foreign seas, love of
conquest and desire for spoils have
made it an army that conquers by
force of might over the principles of
right. Hamiltonian sophistry has led
it to declare that a people are not
fit for self government and this des-
pite the declarations of the immor-
tai Lincoln that who denies liberty
to another deserves it not for himself
and under just God cannot long re-
tain it
ANY democrat who sulks in his
tent" said Judge Tuley. land refuses
to do battle in this critical period in
the history of his party should for
ever drop the name of democrat. The
vital issue will be, shall we go on in
militarism, imperialism and colonial
tion--not by virtue of the constitu-
tion-or shall we return to the re-
public of Washington, jefferson and
jackson, and the republic of that
great friend of the common people,
the lamented Abraham Lincoln
There are democrats who will diff
fer with Judge Tuley, who will say
that Imperialism does not constitute
a vital issue in national affairs but

turbed at the prospect of the future.
The national ideas were shattered
when our battleships and our soldiers
went to the Philippines, the pages of
history were turned back and we as
sumed the place of England as the OPP
pressing power and a strange people
removed 10000 miles from our shores
became the colonists. We said and
and say of them as King George did
of our forefathers, that they are
not competent to govern themselves,
that God in His wisdom has sent us
into their country to kill and burn
and Stay, even as King George declar-
ed that it was by divine decree that
he sat upon the throne of England
and was divine agent in ruling the
American colonists. Our most sa-
cred traditions have been rebuked

Frauds in the Mails.

The charge of collision between
high officials of the pOstoffice depart
ment and some of the fraudulent in
vestment concerns that have been
using the mails merits most thorough
investigation. If it shall be shown
that any of these concerns have en-
joyed immunity purchased from the
officials the advice of Gen. Grant to
let no guilty man escape should have
Il vigorous and prompt application.
The amount of deception and fraud
practiced upon the public during the
last two or three years by so-called
Investment concerns has been almost
without precedent in the history of
this country. The sum total of mon
ey taken in this way from the credu-
lous would run into the millions am
nually. To expose all these schemes
and shut them out of the mails is
the plain duty of the officials of the
postal service and if it shall appear
that any of these officials have not
only neglected their duty, but have
made the way easy for swindlers
their resignation cannot be demanded
any too soon. The department must
be far above suspicion on such mat
tiers. and must stand for the people
against every form of swindle with
which the country is being worked.

The president, we are informed.
has been talked out of his intention
of calling the congress together in
extra session, it having been repre-
scented to him that the move would
be bad one politically. as it would
take the members of the house to
Washington when they would be
needed badly in local politics. The
excuse is not a very good one, but it
is something better than none at all.

him. and that it will not be his fault
if this call is not made.

station that Admiral Crowninshield
could pick out for him. But Crown
inshield, who never did anything of
note in the naval service except nag
the hero of Santiago, retires in

 The breaking of water pipe has caused the disruption of the Union Athletic club, which consisted Of about fifteen boys whose ages range rom IA to IT years. The club occu- pied two rooms in the basement of a house on Riverside street near tho cemetery. One of the members brought visitor to the club rooms on last Sunday night. While there he tried to do some athletic stunts on tho water pipe with the result that the pipe burst. The water spurted all over the room, scattering the members In all directions. One of the members in his haste to get out turned over lamp and it almost exploded Others, after their first fright, took out the fiir- ndshings of the rooms. They were so excited that they threw some articles into the river and the flood carried them along with it Before the wa ter was turned off the place was swept out. Now the club has disbanded for the present or until they secure new quarters, for the landlord will not let them re-occupy the old quarters. There was about ST in ule treasury which will be divided among the mem bers unless new quarters are secured soon.

GARMENT MAKERS TROUBLE.

Wholesale Merchants Have Given No
 tice of Lockout.
 Chicago, June 25.- Eighteen garment makers of Chicago have been served by the national association Of wholesale clothing merchants with an ultimatum which almost amounts to notice Of n lockout. The effect Of the ultimatum remains to be determined within the next two weeks.
 Lack of concerted action among the garment workers is responsible for the positive stand taken by the em- ployers. The latter have been har- rassed for weeks by the demands Of the garment workers for another in- crease in wages amounting to about 15 per cent. Repeated conferences have brought about reduction of these demands until they amount to but little more than 10 per cent h. crease, but still the situation remains unsettled Now the manufacturers have determined to force the issue. the ultimatum of yesterday leaves 1t to the garment workers to decide whether they appoint a committee em- powered to settle the whole question, whether they will be satisfied with 5 per cent increase of wages or whether they will seave the whole matter to a board of arbitration.

TO ESTABLISH LEGATION.
Venezuela Has Not Been Represented
 at Washington Recently.

New York, June 23.-It is reported from what are considered to be good sources that the Venezuelan govern ment intends to re-establish it's lega- ton at Washington and that General Joseph Manuel Hernandez Gel Mocho) is to receive the appointment.
 Venezuela has been without q minis ter or legation at Washington for over three years. n't
 The late Jose Andrade was the last incumbent. Since then August o. E. Pulido as charge d'affaires, has had charge in Washington of minor diplo- matic details for the Venezuelan gov ernment. President Castro has refus- ed to appoint an envoy on the ground that the country could not bear the ex- pense.
 The probable selection of General Hernandez has caused great surprise among the Venezuelans here It is only a few months since he was liber- ated froFl prison in Aaracaibo where he was confined for starting rebel lion. He was set free at the time of the recent trouble with Germany and Great Britain, that he might fight for his country.
 General Hernandez is about 90 years old. The sobriquet "El Mocho'' (the maimedl was given to him be cause of a crippled arm, the result of q battle in one of the many revolutions ill which he has taken part. He is q carpenter by trade.
