Merchants Protest to Board Of
Works.
Cant Stand Dust Raised-Street to

ROLLER GESTURES OFFICIALS

A storm of indignation has been
aroused among merchants along Broad
way over the daily practice of sweep
ing the street without sprinkling IL.
Sometime the thoroughfare is sprin-
kled before the sweeper is run over IL,
but oftener they claim, IL is not. The
dust floats up in clouds, IN case the
sprinkler is not used, and today for
NAL protest was lodged with the board
of public works, and q member stated
that it would be permitted no more.
The city has fine sprinkler, pur-
chased when the sweeper was bought,
and It is never in use elsewhere at the
time Broadway is usually sprinkled-
before breakfast.

Refused TO Submit TO Arbitration
or to Make Any Contract
With Butchers.
BROKE FORMER CONTRACTS
Packers Issue Circular in Which
They Pledge Themselves to
Enter Into No Agreement
With Old Employees.

Chicago, Aug. 22.-The packers have
issued an official statement defining
their position in the stockyards con-
troversy and declaring that they will
not enter into any agreement with the
striking butcher workmen. In review
ing the causes leading up to the strike,
the packers point out that they offered
to submit the entire matter to arbitra-
ton and that their offer was refused.
After the strike was called they
state that they again took up nego-
tiations with the butcher workmen and
at the end of week an agreement
was reached which was considered fair
to both parties. Before there was a
chance TO put this agreement into ef-
feet the cattle butchers held meet
ing and decided to ignore the contract
and the second strike was ordered. The
statement concludes with the follow
ing:
In what light would the packers re-
gard contract with the butcher work
men after these events? What argu-
ment could the union leaders adduce
in favor of such a contract or in favor
of arbitration.
THE packers had agreements with
the car workers and some other labor
organizations. by which the men were
morally bound not to strike. Yet, when
the butchers workmen were seen to be
so much in the wrong that they could
not enforce their demands, these con-
tract bound workmen laid down their
tools in sympathetic strike. Again the
agreement, now so stoutly contendei
for. was wilfully torn up. None can
truthfully say that the owners of the
plants have opposed trade unions.
They have never asked their employees
as to their affiliation with labor or
ganizations or with any association.
They knew when the various unions
were being formed in their plants and
they did not in the least attempt to
prevent their formation.
in conclusion, it cannot be stated
too strongly that the packers will not
enter into any agreement with the
butchers. Experience has proved that |
negotiations with an organization that
has absolutely no regard for the in
volatility of contract is a foolish waste
of time.''

NihiIism and War.

The assassination of Minister Won
Plehve, following SO closely on the
heels of that of General Bobrikoff, re-
calls the days of the great Terrorist
conspiracy which eliminated in the
assassination of Alexander II. There
is an evident relation between war and
revolution in Russia, Immediately
after the Napoleonic wars which had
a profound effect on the life of Rus
sia. involving as they did not only the
invasion, the burning of the kremlin
and Moscow, and the calamitous re-
treat of the French army but the re-
turn tide, which carried the Cossacks
to the banks of the Seine, came a
revolutionary period in Russia, which
eliminated in the December outbreak
so vividly indicated in Tolstofs great
novel, War and Peace" In the same
way the Crimean war was followed
almost without interval by period of
moral and social revolution. the most
remarkable event of which was the
emancipation of the serfs in 1861. two
years before Lincoln's famous procla-
nation. But the freeing of the serfs
was only one among many reforms
which broke up the old order and in
troduced the new. The whole field of
education was similarly affected, the
doors of the schools and colleges being
thrown open to classes that had never
hitherto profited by them. and even
tually to the sons of the emancipated
serfs. The education of women also
entered on new and more liberal
phase than ever before in the Russian
empire and the new woman made her
in the land of the czars-
Harpers Weekly.

the workmen came across secret

length leading to a remote spot out

in Lincoln county, has bought 200 head
of goats and is going into the goat bus

goats, while they are increasing in
number, and bringing in money to their
owner, are at the same time clearing
the land they Craze on, and as land
clearers the goat has proved a wonder
ful thing. What Lincoln county wants
is a few hundred families like Mr..
Jenson, to buy up all the vacant land

DEMOCRATS ALWAYS WRONG
They Are Bound to Kick Up Fuss
NO Matter Which Way
Things Go.

The democratic party in congress,
under the leadership of Senator Cor
man, has engaged in systematic oppo-
sition to the increase of the nayy-to
any increase of the navy.
The democrats admit that their policy
is futile. 1t is astonishing that they
do not see that it is also suicidally fool
ish, says the Chicago Inter Ocean
The United States has a greater ex-
tent of seacoast than any other nation
except the British empire.
Furthermore, the United States is
pledged, by its unvarying policy for
three-quarters of a century, and by
the firmest convictions of its people, to
the maintenance of the Monroe doctrine
When the Monroe doctrine is at
tackled, as it will be unless the United
States makes itself so strong and ready
that none will dare attack it. the at
tack will be made by sea power To
ward off such attack the United States
must have sea power.
Yet the United States to-day ranks
only fifth among the nations of the
world in sea power And Of the four
nations whose fleets surpass that of
the United States three would gain
greatly by breaking down the Monroe
doctrine.
These are the fundamental facts of
the situation. These facts were never
more widely appreciated by the Amer
lean people, nor were the consequences
Of a failure in sea power ever more
clearly understood, than they are to-
day.
Yet the national democracy, through
its representatives in congress, now
attacks the sea power of the nation and
seeks to prevent its growth. Under
pretense of working for peace demo-
cratic congressman advocate a policy
that would make war certain.
The question that forces itself upon
every thinking American is:
Can the democratic party ever prove
itself worthy to rule this nation?
Can the democratic party ever get
right?

Unmarried.

The innovation in visiting cards intro
duced by young st. Louis man of hav-
ing printed the word unmarried" on the
lower left-hand corner may prove popu-
lar. says the Globe-Democrat 1t not only
supplies information that may be useful,
but seems also an unobtrusive invitation.
To call attention to the fact of his state
of single blessedness in so pointed man
ner suggests that he is open to proposals.
This is leap year. Young men with the
word unmarried" on their cards should
be prepared to be leaped at. 1t is posi-
BILE the reason why there is a constantly
growing number of bachelors is because
no one has sufficiently impressed upon
them the advantages of a matrimonial
existence. Busy young men occasionally
ruminate on the blessings of married life,
but their minds need to be logged oftener.
AS is old-fashioned religion, there ought
to be 'revivals" in connubial matters,
and leap years are good time to hold
them. The youth of 1850 and thereabout
the youth of this period put off getting
married. 1t took great many protract-
ed meetings to get them all to the mercy
seat. What we need now is matrimonial
evangelist who will hold protracted
meetings and get the young folks all mar
ried off. These things shouldn't be left
to the hit or miss no-method 0f the times.
If marriage can't be made compulsory by
law for everybody at the age of 1S then
protracted meetings are the next best
thing. The value of parlor protracted
meetings in this particular are recog-
nized by everybody. The printing of the
word unmarried" on every eligible
mans visiting card is step in the right
direction. 1t sort of opens up the sub
ject like a topic written on slip of pa
per at a conversation party. Much good
ought to come from general adoption Of
the practice

The greatest advance in any CONNER
cial product recently Las been in radium.
II anybody happened TO have a few
pounds on hand the rise in the market
would be worth something. The ad-
vance amounted to $4,20O,0O0 per pound.
which makes the article worth close to
s12,0O0,000 per pound. If there is dan
ger of any further advance investors
had better get in as soon as possible. 1t
has been predicted that radium would
soon be as cheap as sawdust, but as yet
one could buy enough sawdust with a
pound of radium to make a pile about
as high as Pixies peak.
