! designed to accomplish the freedom
of the American laborer
Each side has produced in profusion
it's cranks, who have painted in glar-
| ing colors the very extreme views of
their ideal governments. The conser-
vative element, however, fears no re-
alization of any such extreme views,
but, accepting the situation as cir
cumstances have formed them, is
ready to endorse only such things as
are really expected to be accomplish
| ed, leaving the extremists to agitate
and educate the public to the special
ideas which they dream are solution
for all troubles.
In the building of a great national
party there are two things to be no
! ted-the moral and the practical re-
suits. If we are to enlist to ennoble
freemen, then our purposes may be
partially realized whether success in
elections crown the effort or not And
this fact is the one of which super
fetal observers lose sight in the thirst
for numbers. We can not then take
| into consideration any but fundamen-
tai interests, or such as are calcula-
ted to be of immediate benefit to the
masses, by means of the education ac-
duired in a proper discussion of them.
Labor parties generally are lacking
in conservatism, and thereby invite
attacks upon weak, and perhaps nom
essential points, which do not add
strength nor divide the opposition.
We should, therefore, endeavor to
unite the laboring forces under broad,
sound principles, each of which will
strongly appeal for better citizenship,
and win for us the better element of
all classes of American citizens.
I would propose a platform that
would:
| /. Declare that the American labor
er is the bone and sinew of our gov
eminent, and that all laws should
carefully guard his interests and pro-
mote his welfare and happiness.
2. That private property be defined
and classed separately from business
property, and also be exempted from
| taxation; and that business property
of all kinds shall bear the burden of
government.
3. That the American citizen, being
ruler in his own land, should be
well educated, we'll clothed and well
fed; and that he owes it to himself
and his posterity to be, socially and
morally, a representative citizen. He
| is especially warned of the evil eff
! fects resultant from alcoholism, and
urged to shun this giant evil which
| has deprived him of a large portion OF
/ his earnings.
| Possibly others may be added, but
the method of legislation should be
left to those who will legislate there
on. We should not compromise our
selves to any plan or ism, but select
the best and safest when we arrive
at the opportunity to do so. Let us
agitate a union of political force of the
various minor parties, and present
them as one at the polls.-Typographi-
cal Journal.

QUEST OF CAR AND KAISER.
Cornelius Vanderbilt Hon0rod I'm
Europe.

Cornelius Vanderbilt Honored I'm
NEW YORK, Aug. 10. - Cornelius
Vanderbilt has returned to New York
on his palatial steam yacht the North
Star after a tour of Europe, marked by
more official and private social atten-
ton than has ever before been accord
ed a private American citizen. Royal
ty, taking it's cue from the German en-
peror and the car of Russia, lavished
such attention on the millionaire in
ventor that the continental press set
up a hue and cry about it.
Mr.. Vanderbilt was accompanied by
Mr.. Delano, Mrs. Vanderbilt remaining
On the other side to return later by one
Of the regular liners. The North Star
had a tempestuous voyage, but made
the crossing from Southampton in elev
en- and half days. After thrashing
against head winds and heavy seas the
yacht ran into gale Of cyclonic in
tensity on Aug. 6, but weathered it
splendidly.
When Mr.. Vanderbilt's yacht arrived
in German waters Emperor William
took advantage of the opportunity to
return the hospitality that Mr.. and
Mrs. Vanderbilt had extended to his
brother, Prince Henry, during his visit
to this city.
The emperor and his brother visited
them and lunched on their. yacht at
Trave. Later they were invited aboard
the Hohenzollern to dine. A dinner
was given the officers of the German
feet aboard the North Star, during
which the harbor was illuminated in
honor of the Americans. At Kiel dur
Ing regatta week the arrival Of the
North Star was greeted with a salute
from the HohenZollern, and the emper-
Or and Prince Henry were again visit
Ors. ,,A .s..
At st. Petersburg Mr. and Mrs. Van
derbilt were entertained at the impe-
rial palace by Grand Duke Boris, who
had been their guest at Newport, and
by Grand Duke Michaelovitch. The
Vanderbilts returned the courtesies by
dining their hosts aboard their yacht.
Mrs. Vanderbilt was presented to the
czarina at the imperial palace at Peter
heff
Society is greatly interested to see
what effect the return of Mr.. and Mrs.
Vanderbilt will have on the rumor that
reconciliation has been effected with
his mother and the other members Of
his family.

DYSENTBRY CURED WITHOUT
THE AID OF A DOCTOR.

ST am just up from hard spell Of
the fux" (dysentery),. says Mr. 7. A.
Pinner,, a well known merchant Of
Drummond, Tenn. ST used one small
bottle of Chamberlain Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoed Remedy and was cured
without having a doctor consider
it the best cholera medicine in the
world" There is no need of employ
ing doctor when this remedy is used,
for no doctor can prescribe a better
medicine for bowel complaint in any
form, either for children or adults. 1t
never fails and is pleasant to take. For
sale by adj druggists. "

Brain Working I'm De1irium.

Medical records in the various hos
pitfalls show that though quite forget
full of recent happenings, aged persons
recall long-past events in correct Or
der, and even live again amid scenes
passed utterly out of recollection be-
fore the disease of senility appeared.
A woman of 70. delirious from pleuro-
pneumonia, repeated poetry in Hin
dustani. 1t developed later on that
up to the age of four she knew only
that language, but afterward had for
gotten even that she ever spoke it.
Another peculiar case on record is
that of an illiterate maid servant who
while in the delirium of fever, recited
Greek and Hebrew for hours, although
when in health she knew no word OF
either language, her rawlings being due
to the brain impressions left by the
readings heard many years before o!
a learned rabbi whose servant she had
been.

Unmarried Men Capture Bears.


For the first time in the history of
hunting in the province bears were
taken alive, without the use of firearms
and in manner which was remarkable,
saysthe Vancouver (B. c. correspondent
of the San Francisco Chronicle. Jap
anese engaged in cutting single bolts
discovered large bear In hollow tree,
and in the attempt to GUST it the animal
chased one of them. AS the bear came
up to him the Japanese jumped on it's
back and held his position until seven
of his eountrymen followed, all piling
on bruin and securely holding it down
until 1t was tied. The she bear appeared
upon the scene few moments after and,
elated with their success, they sprang
upon her. She showed fight, but they
captured her also. The bears will be
presented to the city ZOO by Rev. Goro
Kaburagi on behalf of his fellow coun-
trymen. The animals weigh $50 and 210
pounds, respectively.

orr PoIITICAL FrTTrRE

The tendency of the age to unite,
physically and financially, has devel-
oped two mighty powers within our
nation. There is no gainsaying the
fact that capitalistic interests seek to
assume governmental control, and that
their ultimate object is to coerce
American labor to the level of serf-
dom.
The physical interests, represented
By the various labor interests, seek
government control for the purpose
Of thwartinr the designs of the mon
aved interests. and to set up instead
the rights of labor and various reforms

HIS the following parody:
Tell me not in mournful numbers
That the union is a dream
That the cause is dead nor slumbers
Drifting slowly with the stream.
1t is real, DIT is earnest,
And the unions cause is just.
Do not weaken in the contest,
We will win because we must.
Wives of union men remind us,
We can make our cause sublime,
And departing seasons find Us
Winning victory all the time.
Victories that perchance another,
Grown respondent in the main
Some forlorn. suspended, brother
Seeing shall rejoin again.
Let US then be up and doing
With a heart for any fight,
While the label does our wooing
1t will win because it's right.

The directors of the Commercial
Club of Indianapolis, Ind, have re-
ceived a suggestion from D. NJ. Parry,
president of the National Manufactu-
rers' Association, that it is inexpedient
for the club to encourage the locating
of headquarters of labor organizations
in this city. Mr.. Parry says that
manufacturers are timid about Iocat-
ing where labor unions have their ex-
eeutive offices. Mr.. Parry also threat
ems to close his road-cart works if his
employees are organized, and is said
to be taking an active part in the for
