PATTERSON AS A HumoRlsr.

Thomas NJ. Patterson, United States
senator, as . humorist, editor and
attorney is becoming facetious. In
fact, he is entitled to a place in the
galaxy of great humorists. In Wed
nesday's News he occupies three col
umns of space, one editorially, the
other two, reprint article from the
Clarion Advocate. Following are two
paragraphs from Mr.. Patterson's pen
as prelude to a column editorial |
on the argument advanced by the
aforesaid Clarion-hdvocate:
A very sensible editorial indeed
is that about Unions and Politics
In the Clarion-Advocate of last
week-so sensible that 1t is print
ed in full in The News today on
the editorial page.
What the Clarion Advocate
seeks to enforce is that labor un-
ions are not organized for politi-
cal purposes. and that when they
are they may become political
party but they cease to be labor
unions.
The News then goes on at length
to show why unionism should not
embrace politics. quoting the Clarion
Advocate as follows:
The worst enemy of the labor
movemnet today is the labor poll
q tician who attempts to lead the
movement out of industrialism in
to the quagmire of politics. The
men who roar loudest for labor
party, to divide the workers in
Colorado, remind me of bull
chained to post. They paw and
below, but they don't get any,
where.
1t is after the above paragraph
that Senator Tom shines. He. in
his own estimation, makes a clear case
why unions should not be political.
And then after wading through Mr.
Pattersons mastery argument we find
the real pith, I. e. that all labor and
union interests should unite to down
the Republican ticket this fall. First
MIR. Patterson wants the unions to
keep out of politics and then wants
them to jump into the frying pan,
the same as advocated by the Clarion
Advocate. Senator Patterson must
be put down as the humorist OF the
season.

are directly affected.
In this city the men quit work at
different times during the day and
at 2 p. m. 1900 had quit work. While
the strikers were passing out of the
gates leading to the packinghouses
women, children and other sympa-
thizers congregated and shouted en-
couragement The strikers and their
friends were silently watched by 400
stalwart police.
No definite arrangements have been
made by any Of the packers for the
hiring of nonunion men. Five scar-
loads of cots, however, are distribsted
among the various plants. These beds
were ordered last week when a strike
seemed imminent. Notwithstanding
these preparations the packers were
caught, in a measure, unprepared. The
secrecy observed by the union men
prevented the packers from stopping
shipments of cattle. AS a result the
yards are well filled and trainloads are
arriving hourly.
The packers say there is fresh meat
enough in Chicago to last about ten
days.
There are a few small packinghouses
in Chicago that are not affected by the
strike, but they can supply but an in
significant part of the demand.

Castro of Venezuela has demanded

has given notice through one Of
his ministers Of his intention to
proceed legally before the Vene-

the allegation that the asphalt COM
pany gave material aid to the late rev.
OlutiOnary movement, and especially
to General Mateos, whereby the Cas-
tro government was put to the neces-
sity of expending the sum of money
named to suppress the rebellion. The
suit is the elimination of a long series

lake at Felicidad. Finally last winter

SECRETLY MARRIED IN FRANCE
Senator Clark of Montana Weds His
Former Ward.

New York, July 13.-Formal an
nouncement of the marriage of Sen
ator Clark, multimillionaire OF Mon
tana, to Miss Anna La Chappelle in
Marseilles, France, May Is, 1901, has
been made. The couple were quietly
married and have daughter nearly
two years old.
The bride is a daughter Of the late
DR.. Chappelle Of Butte, Mont. The
romance began years ago when DR..
Chappelle, who had never studied at
a medical college, got into trouble
with medical society in Butte.
Senator Clark, at the instance of the
doctors pretty fifteen-year-old daugh-
ter, sent the doctor to a college. He
graduated, but died soon after
Miss La Chappelle has been in Eu-
rope for a number of years completing
her education. She is remarkably pret-
ty and talented. She had posed as the
ward Of Senator Clark.
1t is believed that the marriage has
not been announced before because
of the opposition of Senator Clark s
family.
