edit the candidates letters and
speeches. and goose flesh comes out on
him every morning as he picks up the
newspaper, for fear that some unfor-
tunate speech has been uttered, an in
discreet letter sent, some ancient senti-
ment unearthed, or some other "break'
made. It has happened so often that
the fear of such a thing is ever before
him.
After the Rum Romanism and Re-
the Republican national committee
spent fortunes .telegraphing to party
newspapers all over the country ex
tracts from Blaine's speeches, in which
he had so often expressed himself in
favor of religious liberty. It was in
vain. That error was never corrected.
Religious prejudice Is very strong, and
the use which the Democratic man.
ayers made Of, the speeches was far
more effective. than all the efforts to
correct the false. position into which
the candidate was placed. Since that
occasion no candidate is addressed by
delegation without submitting his re-
marks. to a committee. Usually the
candidates mustssWrite uts:what they
intend to say on any occasion, and it
is gone over with a microscope. Ben
jamin Harrison was so afraid of being
cntrapped that, in his first campaign,
he had hall hired at indianapolis,

he would emerge from the wings. make
q few remarks, and retire. This course
was taken at the suggestion Of Quay.

HOW RAINY DAYS
AFFECT AN ELECTION

From BOoklovers:
It would be difficult to estimate with
accuracy the limits Of the influence
of weather on the plans of politi-
clans. The business committeeman
even admits that weather is luck. Two
Or three weeks of gloomy, raw wealth
err before an election day make havoc
with the campaign Of the administra-
tons party. Such weather works in
the mind of man an intangible desire
for a change. Of course, the govern
ment at Washington does not really
control the winds and rains. but new
erthcless the government at Wash,
ington Is part Of the all bordering man.
agement Of things and is accordingly
held responsible. In agricultural
states a moderately rainy day will
send the farmers to the polls to man,
because they can do nothing in the
felds-but it will keep the city vot-
ers at home; the result is a decided
gain for the party which the farmer
favors and the city man opposes. Again
in states where the deplorable custom
prevails of paying consistently par
tisan voters to stay away from the
polls, bad weather furnishes an ex-
Cuse that may save the mercenary
citizens reputation among his breth-
rem.

FEW STRIKES ARE REALLY LOST.
There are scores of strikes in which
trade unionists meet an apparent de-
feat when in reality most substan-
tial victory has been achieved. There
are many instances where a manufac-
turer has been able to fill the place
of strikers with incompetent mechanics
and handy men, and by this means pro-
tract struggle until oftlE1es the strik-
ers return, in majority Of cases with
an increase, but many times without
any concession. It is safe to assert
that in the larger number of cases the
strikers will be receiving the rate they
struck for, even before a year is over
and will not have to resort to another
strike to gain it either.
Many employers do not know what
a strike means or costs either until
they have one on their HANGS, and to
a majority it is a lesson they never
forget, and as consequence after:
wards, although they claim to have de-
feated the union. they are far reader
to hear a committee and consider griev-
ances than they were before. In ninety
five out of every hundred defeats sus-
tanned by oganized labor the workers
really benefit. Many a so-called defeat
has taught a lesson the oppressor
never forgets and strengthens the cause
of the union and prevents future
trouble.

A. r. OF l.. OFFICERS
MAKE RECOMMENDING

The executive council of the Emerl-
can Federation Of Labor. at it's ses-
sion in Washington recently, decided
to make several recommendations to
the San Francisco convention that are
of much interest to central labor
bodies throughout the country. In
many of these bodies where disagree
ments have arisen, local unions of af-
filiated crafts have been expelled or
refused representation. Such action
ir. the future will subject the Offend
ing central body to a revocation of it's
charter, if the accommodation of the
council is adopted. It was also decided
to recommend to the convention that
central labor unions be required to
adopt essentially uniform laws for
their government. Secretary Morrison
reported issuing All charters during
the current year. The A, F. Of l.. has
a balance in the treasury Of over
$4,000.

KNOWLEDGE Is POWER.

II you go into any lawyers office you
will find lying around one or more legal
journals; go into a preachers study
and you will see number of religious
journals; enter a physicians office and
your eyes will fall upon several medical
journals. These men would no more
think of doing without their Journals
than farmer would undertake to farm
without farming implements. Indeed,
they could not successfully follow their
professions without them. And the
more learned and skillful any of these
men may be, the more eager they are
to learn more. It is only the cheap,
very cheap ones that know it all and
don't need to learn more. Men like
Samuel Gompers and John Mitchell
will carefully read the smallest labor
paper published i the United States.
Go thou and do likewise.

POPPING THE QUESTION.

From the New York Press:
One Of the millionaire cotton mer-
chants Of the United States was ex-
ceedingly timid in the presence of
his adored one. Everybody knew he
was desperately in love, but he had
not courage to pop the question. The
parents of the girl invited him to
spend the weeks end at their country
place, with a view to help matters
along. Instead Of a blessing or grace
at the table it was the family's habit to
recite a verse from the Bible, and all
guests were invited to join in this di-
version. With matrimony on the brain
our young expert on the staple quoted,
when called on at breakfast Sunday
morning-"He that getteth wife get
teth a good thing from the Lord" A.
ter that everything was easy. He
married the girl.
