noted sculptor of Paris, and now
residing in New York, has been
selected by the Hampton monu-
ment commission to submit the
plans for the equestrian statue
to he erected on the eastern side
of the capitol grounds as soon as
possible.
The commission met this morr-
ing, those present being Senators
Mccall and Marshall and Repre-
sentatives Moses and Morgan, and
after careful study of the many
names supmitted it was decided
that the name of Mr.. Ruchsthul
should he selected This gentle
man will submit models and the
commission will then pass upon
these, after which the statue will
be built according to the model
selected.
The total amount of money
contributed by popular subscrip-

little over $4,000 short of that
which l. was expected should be
raised 10 put with the state appro-
priation of $4,000. This appro
priation is now available, however
and the commission will 90 ahead

Use of Money in Politics.

The chief evil in our practical
politics, or in our politics as sprac
ticed, is the use of money in cam
paigns i'm campaigns for nomina-
tions as we'll as in campaigns for
elections. Men buy caucuses and
they buy elections. Any one
at all familiar with prsctical poll
tics knows this to be true, even if
he has seen no money used.
Thomas B. Reed told me not
long before his death that the cor.
ruptinn at the St. Louis conven-
tien of 1896, of which he actually
knew, drove him out of politics.
There may have been reasons that
were more imminent Mt the time
of his retirement, but the corrur-
ton practiced in the Republican
national convention of 1896 frs,
led Mr.. Reed to consider the pro
priety of retiring from the shame
less shambles. Henry Loomis

Workers VIII Meet and Vote on thu
Question of Calling on strike.
Indications Point TO an At
nrmative Result.

CHICAGO. Sept G.-Indications art
that the stockyards strike, begun two
months ago, may be called off within
twenty four hours. Through the me
dunn of a middleman negotiations have
been begun in an effort to secure az
understanding with the packers OIL
which the striking unions can rely az
n basis for abandoning the strike to
day II was admitted last night by
Secretary Tracey Of the Allied Trades
council Of unions on strike that n mes
sage opening such negotiations haC
been delivered to representatives OF
the packing firms by W. Il. Skinner
general agent Of the Union Stockyards
and Transit company acting as n mid.
dleman
According to the plans an answer is
to be submitted today by the packers
in time for it to be reported ut spe
cial meeting Of the Allied Trades coun.
ell This meeting has been called fol
this morning. Special meetings foI
all the local unions involved in the
strike have been called for today. II

ances to the strikers. messengers will
be sent at once to the gatherings Of the
local bodies. She unions. It is said,
will then vote on disseminating the
strike. and their referendum vote will
be reported ut once to the meeting of
the Allied Trades council
An understanding was arrived mt by
which the men will meet and vote on
the question Of calling off the strike
According to the plans made they
viii he instructed to cast their ballots
in the affirmative
These plans have been made with Sc
crecy and care. They originated a
week ago in Chicago with certain of
the packers and of the conservative Ia
Dor leaders. Fearing the execution of
the scheme would fail if attempted in
Chicago, it was determined to make
the first move in New York.
The ending of the strike in the east
ern city by the vote of the men was
this first step. The settlement there
made is the same as that now proposed
for Chicago.
The following are the chief points of
the arrangement:
The unions to call off the strike.
The packers to re-employ as many of
the strikers as they can give work to
and to give preference to the former
employees in the future. MS many of
the new workers who wish to remain
to be retained.
Wages of the skilled men to remain
at the rate paid before the strike.
The packers, who have often de-
clared they would not meet the labor
men, will undoubtedly deny that
conference has been held. But the fact
remains that duly authorized repre-
sentatives of the owners Of the pack
ing plants did meet the labor men,
What doubt existed as to the posi-
ton Of the switchmen in the strike has
been dispelled by Grand Master Frank
Hawlcy of the organization. Hawley
at meeting Of the union said the men
would remain mt work
The first serious break I'm the stock
yards strike in Chicago came Sunday
night when fifty striking live stock
