Never has republican speaker pos
sessed the good will OF the opposition
in the house as Uncle Joe has 1t to-day,
and surely not since Mr. Cariisle's time
has democratic leader on the floor
had the republican good will and adj
miratfon bestowed upon John Williams
In the present congress, says an ex,
change. It was no small task to hold
together and in harmony the discord-
ant elements of his party throughout
the session. but he did it adrOitly tact
fully. successfully. He is not theorist,
but he tolerated the theories of others
without stamping them with the party
brand and giving them the full approx
al of his leadership. He was not led
off into any socialistic vagaries, for he
knows thing OF two, and among other
things he knows an initiative from a
referendum wnen he sees them, but he
made no display Of purging his party
Of it's socialist adherents. His steady
purpose seemed to be to occupy such
rational grounds on the issues that
have divided parties and created fac
tional confusion, as to rally around one
standard all the scattered forces OF
democracy for the impending campaign.
That he did this skfllfully, under all
the circumstances, Is universally con-
coded.

Every knows, or should know,
that the present period OF trusts, as
compared with any past time in the ma
tion's history, IL marked by abundant
labor and high wages. Terence v.
Powderly, in an address before the
Shoe and Leather association OF Chi
cago, expressed the situation very well.
He said: "At no time In the history
of the country were wages SO high or
more men employed as since the era
Of trusts began" This does not prove
that trusts are good things. It indi-
Gates, however, that they do not affect
wages harmfnlly or throw men out Of
employment. '~The trust is the organ
ization of capital. The combination Of
labor unions is the organization of
labor. These two organizations, each
holding in trust the interests OF the
various bodies 1t represents, should
form reciprocal relations. Let the labor
organizations keep up fair wages, let
the organization Of capital maintain
fair prices, but let both beware OF
grasping too much and forcing that
great middle class, the consumers, to
economize and check consumption. We
are feeling the effects OF such action
now.'' Here is the danger OF trusts,
whether they be trusts of labor or
trusts OF capital, says one writer, com.
menting on the above. When they get
justice for their members they are ex-
celIent. When they give way to greed
and thereby work injustice to others
they are oppressive ana destructive. II
Ii folly, therefore, to denouncs trusts
unfortunately. Whoever does 30 de-
nouncc them Ii either a fool or an enc.
my Of labor as well as OF capital

Professional swindlers keep sharp
eye on every new enterprise under
taken either by the federal government
or the states individually. They never
lose sight of a chance to reap a pretty
penny for themselves by deceiving the
public. The irrigation plans projected
by the government to reclaim arid
lands in the west have not escaped
their eyes, says one writer, and by
means of advertisements cleverly word
ed they profess to have secured inside
information regarding the sections that
will be first irrigated at the public ex-
pense and offer fora consideration vary
ing from $50 to 5000 to locate settlers
in the lands which are certain to be
the future garden spot OF the contis
nent. They display alleged copies of
government maps and surveys, which
apparently leave no room for doubt as
to the matter. a plain tale that puts
down this whole chain Of falsehood ID
contained in the fact that these pre-
tended surveys are mere township
plots which any applicant can secure
at the government land Office and which
were made without the least reference
to irrigation. The land included In the
irrigation projects is withdrawn from
FALL forms OF entry except homestead
before any actual work of construction
is begun and Is not thrown open even
to homestead entry until the secretary
OF the interior gives due publication
through the press. Prospective settlers
who pay money on these fraudulent
representations on advance information
will throw their cash away.

Wars Awakening.

W. D. Nesbit in Chicago Tribupe.
They have Weakened the Goddess of War,
And her banner has been unfurled,
And the humming thrum of her calling
drum
Is throbbing across the world,
She has lighted her flaming torch,
And she peers with a face smoke
wreathed,
While her trumrets blare Is upon the air;
Her sword she has half unsheathed.
She Is rising, full ready and proud,
She Is sounding her shrill alarms,
And the swift drumbeat times the rushing
feet
That answer her call to arms
She is rising her eyes ablaze;
she is setting her sword arm free,
And her strident song will go swift and
And sweep over land and sea-
She is laughing her terrible laugh,
And is girding her armor on,
She knows again that the wrath of men
Is white as the light Of dawn;
She knows that the call has come
That bids her go sorth and STAY
Till her sister, Peace, bids the killing
cease
And the armor be put away
and she cries to the men on the deep
That they redden the sullen sea;
And to those in camp to arise and tramp
She is deal to the stiffled sob;
To the place where the foemen be.
She is blind to the falling tear.
For the saber clash and the cannon
crash
Make the anthem she would hear.
They have wakened the Goddess of War;

Former Proprietor Counts Profits De.
rived From "Sick Yankees"

From the New York Commercial
A former hotel proprietor at Jackson
Vile has been amusing himself of late
in figuring up the income that Florida
derives annually from sick Yankees"
and pleasure-loving Americans in gem
era1
THE number of visitors who go to Flor
ida from all parts of the United States
during the winter season Is quite consid-
erable," he says. Something like $780,
900 strangers visit the country every year
for pleasure. The average duration of
the Florida holiday IS seventeen days,
which makes between seven and eight
million days altogether. AS to the finan-
cial side of the question, l have estimated
that the Florida hotel keepers draw a
sum equal to $S,OO0,0O0 per annum from
their guests. In addition to that, the
railroad companies and steamship lines
are benefited to the extent OF $1,000, OO0
Besides that. there are the expenses in
CURED by the hotels in keeping up their
establishments. l place that at s1.500000.
Then, too, the hotels employ on an aver

100000 in wages. AS for tips I have Feck-
oned that at 5000 for the tourist season
of three months
Most latter-day Florida tourists will
dispute the correctness of this estimate
on tips. They must exceed that sum at
Palm Beach alone.

How to Live Long.

| From the Century Magazine.
| The faulty of most men with regard
to exercise Is most distressing. They
avoid the use of their muscles In every
possible way until their health gives way
and then take up the most unnatural
and ridiculous methods of restoring the
equilibrium They never walk when 1t
can be helped; they take car to go four
of five blocks, an elevator to go up one
story of a building, have Wallets and wait
ers to brush their clothing. black their
boots, to serve their meals. to carry their
bundles, and when they feel the lack Of
physical exercise play golf or bowl, or
put up dumb-bells, swing Indian clubs,
or pull away at weighted ropes In their
bed rooms. In other words they care
fully shun any Kind of exercise that sub
serves a useful end, and devote them
selves to that which accomplishes moth
ing.
The excuse usually given for such va
carries is that the street car and the ele-
yator save time. TO some extent this is
true, but 1t is only half-truth, Anyone
who takes the trouble to observe what
goes on around him will see portly men
who ought to walk for their own good
stop street car to carry them only three
or four blocks. and wait patiently for an
elevator to come on signal from the base
ment floor to carry them down one flight
of stairs. Now the oldest thing is that
IL the diet were proportioned to the oc-
cupation. this lack of exercise would not
be felt, and the consequent devotion to
monkey gymnastics would not be nee
essary.
Sir Henry Thompson, in his excellent
work on Food and Feeding" has put
this aspect of the case as well as it can
be put MANY man." he writes
might indeed safely pursue sedentary
career, taking only small amount of
exercise. and yet maintain an excellent
standard of health If only he were care
full that the intake in the form of diet
coresponded with the expenditure which
his occupations mental and physical, de-
mand. Let him by all means enjoy his
annual pastime and profit ny It, to rest

New York's Public Vehicle.
n the New York Commercial.


BY the end of next year it is likely that
the last horse car will have disappeared
from the streets of New York and that
electric cars shall be running on the
thoroughfares where now the Anticipated
vehicles still bump and thrash as they
rumble along. Omnibuses were the first
public vehicles with regular routes in this
city Fifty years ago they ran every
where; Broadway was full of them. At
one time, says a correspondent of the
Pittsburg Dispatch there were twenty six
lines of stakes all running for some part
of their route along Broadway, But late
in the 40s and early in the sos the horse
cars came into use-another modern i'm
provement. In the early 70s there were
barely half a dozen stage lines left. The
Fifth, the Madison, the Fourth and the
Bloomingdale line up Broadway from
Thirty-third street. were the chief, If not
the only, lines Then came the bobtail
cars. in which the passengers had to pay
his own fare. When the law required
cars to carry conductors as well as driv-
ers the bobtal cars went elsewhere; ii
did not pay to run them. To prevent the
erection of the Sixth avenue elevated
road the Sixth avenue surface line put on
double-decked cars, with seats on top, but
even these could not stand in the way
of progress, and the first cross girder of
the elevated road put them out of action.
In 1884 came the Broadway railroad steal
and the doodle aldermen. The stages left
Broadway in 1885. There were only three
lines left to go. In the same year came
the cable road on upper Tenth avenue;
then the cable crept down Broadway and
Third avenue, and then came the UNDER
ground trolley. the best form of street
traction yet devised
