The executive board of the Building
Trades council last night authorized union
men to finish the plastering suhcontract
on the George Peavey house, Park ave-.
nue. and Twenty-second street-a Haglin
contract. This is done to protect the sub
contractor, who would have lost money
thru the calling out Of union men in a
controversy in which he was not per-
sonally interested.
Similar action was taken in regard to
a Haglin contract at Lake Minnetonka.
Wagner & Nelson, whose union painters
were the first men at the lake to be
called off over a week ago, will be allowed
to finish the painting contract on new

H0y Sd1s
Organized opposition to a summer thea
ter in Shadyside has appeared, and Addi-
son Madeira, the promoter of the enter
prise, will find his path beset with diff
culties At a meeting of the Shadyside
Improvement association at the Grace
Presbyterian church last evening Mr.. Ma
deira's plan to establish summer opera
at Hennepin avenue and Twenty eighth
street was discussed at length, and the
members decided that they did not want
any amusement enterprise in their neigh

how the association should proceed, but
after Alderman Fred M. Powers had
explained that the only authority to issue
theater licenses was vested in the city
council, it was decided to send COM

the issuance of the license to Mr. Madeira.
The committee is composed of Dr. w. N

slope Springs Eternal"

The Herald hopes that the state
convention will nominate our towns
man, DR.. Mead. for the lieutenant
governorship. Illuminating as his po-
sition is. an avowed prohibitionist
standing upon license-local option
platform in order to get office
wretched as his political methods
have been, disgraeeful as his opera
tion of the Rutland caucus was, new
ertheless the Herald hopes that the
convention will nominate him, because
a local candidate always attracts
some votes; and Mead. although the
200 or 300 Italians uron whom he de-
pended for his nomination cannot
support him in September, because
they are not voters, yet We should eX-
pect that he would draw some sup
port in this county. which the ticket
might not otherwise have, merely on
account of the fact that he lives here.
We cannot afford to jeopardize
the most important national issues
for the sake of those of local interest.

Work for Law Breakers.

The suggestion recently made by
the committee of inquiry to the Con-
gregational convention, that per-
sons imprisoned for drunkenness be
set to work on the public highways
during their detention, was frowned
down by the convention. The gem
eral opinion seemed to be that such a
course would destroy the prisoners
self-respect, which of course is not
desirable.
But if a man has any appreciable
degree of self respect, would he not
nrefer to lessen, by all means in his
power, the obligation he places HIM
self under to his state and fellow-cit
izens when he breaks the laws of the
commonwealth and must be main
tanned for time at the public ex-
pense? The most law-abiding of our
citizens have to pay for the food they
eat, and count it honor rather than
shame to themselves when they are
willing to work hard to do so. Why,
then, should lawb breakers expect to be
kept in idleness, and why should we
feel it our duty to indulge and so de-
fer to them? 1t is a wrong concep-
ton of self respect that fancies it can
be injured by work.
Every violator of the laws of the
community in which he lives who is
held lin durance vile" for his mis-
deed, should be obliged to work ac-
cording to his ability and strength.
He would be healthier, safer, less
burdensome to the public whom he
has already wronged and more con-
tent with his lot-because if there
were any vestige of manhood left in
him, he would find satisfaction in the
thought that he was, as far as posi-
BILE, paying his own way.

The Republican State Ticket.

The state ticket nominated by the
republicans in convention at Mont
pelier yesterday is one which is in
every way credit to the party and
for which no citizen need feel
ashamed to vote. The men are all
able, honest and respected, their can
vass for the nomination has been
clean and no shadow has been cast
upon their regulations or methods,
even by their opponents.
Hon. Charles ]. Bell, the nominee
for governor, is a man who has
worked among the people of Vermont
all his life, who has a wide personal
acquaintance with them and who
ought to know thoroughly the needs
and conditions of the state.
None of the criticisms so freely
bestowed upon the proceedings Of
the last republican state convention
and its choice Of candidates can be

The Object OF the Platform
tBrooklyn Eagle.l

The object OF platform should be
regarded rather than the platform it.
self That object was set forth In the
language of negro brakeman. on a
southern railroad, who faced dis
franchIsement without grief when he
found that democratic corporation
could be depended ON TO give to him
steady wages. so long as he did his
work well. The brakeman Informed a
passenger that The could not be per-
mitted TO stand on the platform while
the cars were In motion" The pas
senger. who was a union of philoso-
pher and a wag. said to the brakeman;
why, | thought platforms We're made
to stand on Beg pardon, sub" said
the darby. they are not made TO stand
on. sub They're made to git In on
subj" That is really the reason why
any platform-in railroads or In poll
tics is made. Republicanism hopes TO
get In again on the platform made at
Chicago yesterday, Democracy will
hope to get in again. on the platform
to be made in St. Louis, few days
from now.
