And let the welkin ring.

For there IL no denying,

/ Song Of the Janitof.
Nearly every ablebodied young man
In Chicago has been singing the "Song
Of the Jarltor'' ever since Charles
Fieldstack, president of the Interna-
t1onal Union of Building Employees,
which. was recently organized in Mil
waukee, suggested to the young man
who has not chosen his life vocation
the profession" of %janitor, says a Chi
cago dispatch. He says no other ca
reer is SC promising as that of a man
In his trade and union. 1t has been
said that every American is a over
eign as a j%anitor, but nov the sover-
eign will have to take a seat in the
extreme rear and more than ever bow
down to the %janitor.
In F~ieldstack's opinion the field of
the Office building janitor is most invit-
ing. Comfort awaits him who chooses
it. and af11uence is possible. Shares are
owned in many of tie buildings where
janitors dust and wash windows. In
the Chamber of Commerce building, &C.
cording to Fieldstack, there are forty
janitors, and each owns his own home.
Industry and economy are noticeable
in the men,, and their employment
makes them more prudent in business
dealings.
Fieldstack, to show the possibilities
Of the profession" cited Peter Han
son as an example. Hanson, he said,
was a window washer in a piano estab-
lishment and holds $4,000 stock in
the building. When there is business
for the stockholders the man lays
aside his jackets and cap and joins the
meeting as one of the board. The
union completes the task of making
model men of the .%janitors, said Field
stack, and strict discipline is enforced.
Drunkenness is forbidden by one Of
the articles Of the constitution. Any
man who cannot break the habit of in
dulging in liquors is suspended from
the organization. The members are
not required to sign the pledge. but SO
stringent is the rule that it practically
amounts to the same thing.
There are $500 men in the office
buildings of Chicago, and there are
5000 fiat janitors, mattresses. elevator
men and starters, marble washers and
watchmen. Considering the vested
rights" as it We're, OF a janitor, it will
not be surprising if parents who live
in apartments send their sons to jani-
tors to be educated, instead of to a
college, as the principles of independ-
ence could be more thoroughly in
stilled into the minds of the young.
1t no longer will be necessary to teach
the young idea how to shoot, but how
to cantor"

GAIN COMPLETE CONTROL or
DEMOCRATIC STATE CON
vENTlON IN IOWA.
DELEGATES GO INSTRUCTED
WILL VOTE AS A UNIT FOR THE
NEW YORK EDITOR At ST.
LOUIS CONVENTION.

Des Moines, Ia, May 5.-William
Randolph Hearst swept the field in the
Iowa state Democratic convention held
here Wednesday. He had a majority
of over $50 in the convention and
Hearst resolutions were adopted, the
Hearst delegations from the contest
ing counties were seated and Hearst's
delegates were selected and the con-
vention vas instructed to vote as a
unit and stand by Charles Walsh as
member Of the national committee.
The convention was boisterous and
the orators, of whom there were many
on both sides, were Kissed, some OF
them being driven from the stage.
Congressman NJ. j. Wade, J.. B. Sui
Ivan, M. F. Healy and others appealed
to their party in vain against instruc-
lions.
The Hearst people would listen to
no compromise and Wade and Sullivan
do not appear in the delegation. 1t is
headed by J. M Parsons of Rock
Rapids, the other" delegates at large
being General J. B. Weaver of Col.
fax, Judge N. M. Carr, Manchester.
and S. B. Wadsworth, Council Bluffs.
Cries of Bought" Brass collar
"How much did it COST" met the
Hearst speakers whenever they at.
tempted to speak, and pandemoniunl
reigned in the convention.
Lays Greatest Stress on Trusts.
The resolutions adopted We're mild
and included a paragraph touching on
evils of taxation, ETC., and lays great
est stress on the trusts and points to
William R. Hearst as the champion OF
the antitrust idea. This paragraph is
as follows:
1--WE recognize in the predatory
trusts the greatest danger that has
ever threatened the life of the nation
and the welfare of the people and de.
nounce their scheme of levying tribute
upon all producers and consumers as
a modern system of brigandage which,
while ~masquerading under the cloak
of the law, in fact makes of law a
mockery and justice a farce. In utter
disregard of the natural and constitu.
tional rights of the farmers, the mer-
chants and the great army of wage
earners, the trusts have ruthlessly
seized upon every branch of produc.
ton and distribution until every ave
nue. Of human endeavor is compelled
to bow at the behests OF these con
sciense1ess criminals and pay tribute
or to exist.'3
The Republican tariff system is &c
nounced as vicious and a breeder OF
trusts and it's repeal is demanded.

ATTACK MADE IN DAYLIGHT
yAPs RESOLVED TO CARRY OUT
DESPERATE PROJECT REGARD.
LESS OF LOSSES.

London, May 5.-The Toxic CORE
spondents Of both the Daily Tele-
graph and the Daily Chronicle assert
that Port Arthur is effectually
'corked.'
The opinion gains ground here that
the Japanese have at last effectually
blocked Pork Arthur. No official
Japanese report on the subject has yet
been received, but the Toxic CORE
s%pondents are very positive regarding
the matter and describe the determina-
ton with which the enterprise was un-
dertaken.
The Daily Telegraph's correspondent
declares that the entrance to Port Ar
thur is absolutely sealed" and adds
that the Japanese fleet in effecting it's
purpose steamed into the entrance at
full speed and that the naval officers
who made the two previous attempts
begged permission to carry out the
next attack by daylight, that being
easier, and their request was granted.
$50 determined were they to sue
ceed," adds the correspondent, that
they decided if necessary to lose half
their men. The number of casualties
sustained by the Japanese has not yet
been announced"
In favor OF the superstition of Japa-
nese success in blocking Port Arthur,
1t is pointed out that the previous at
tempts had left the channel so mar
row that a couple of vessels sunk in
the fair way would probably suffice to
seal up the entrance, while there is a
noticeable evasion and half-hearted-
ness in the Russian denials of the
enemy's success.
