would like to know what recognition
does the president give to the rights of
capital when he calmly proposes to
take the money Of the railways and use
it to build automatic couplers and
block systems, and all against the will
and consent of capital.
1t used to be said that the capitalist
will have enough heart to look after
his men without any law compelling
him to do So We said men would not
work for heartless employer. Then,
when we found capitalists seemed to
get all the labor they wanted, even IL
they had no hearts. we said that the
way to get at them was to make them
financially liable for injuries to en-
pioyeS. II going at the heart was a
failure, let us aim at their pocketbooks
When they find It doesn't pay to Xii
and MAIN men the capitalists will put
ptfanezs~ zffU S,s
count upon how cheap judges and
juries are compared with the cost OF
safety appliances. The railways SIM
ply got comparative figures and found
that good safe and sane judges were to
be had in unlimited quantities at much
lower figures than were the poorest and
cheapest automatic coupIers. Therefore
they bought judges instead of auto
matte couplers and went gayly on with
the gentle sport of killing their en-
ployes.
The president has awakened to this
and he now says the only thing is a
law compelling the installation of
safety devices. fear the president
will never see much attention paid to
life when SO much attention is paid to
dividends. II the president is sincere
then let him not hold up the club Of
government ownership as dreadful
alternative to the present system Of
murder for profit, but let him advocate
it because it will not only save from
slaughter thousands OF EN- pi0yes' lives
every year. but will also at the same
time be good business proposition
for the people from a purely financial
standpoint.
However, / must give the president
credit for calling attention to the ne
cessity of doing something. / do not
remember of any other president ever
going into the matter of the necessity
of shorter hours for railway employees,
of the need of child labor laws, of the
Importance of cities looking to the
manner in which their eitizons are
housed, and Of providing Fairgrounds
for children.
The materialistic conception of his
tory finds fresh grounds for it's base
in the presidents recognition of the
change of character of our industry
requiring change of character of our
political institutions. When the re-
public was born, industry was local
and carried on on small scale, and
naturally the several states were given
control of it. Jefferson was the only
statesman farsighted enough to pro-
pose any control of industry by the ma
tional government, and even he sug-
gested it for insurance only, which
from the very nature of the business
has never been of local character.

 An official of the Alabama Steel and Wire Company authorizes the state ment that the shipments of steel wire to Cuba are heavy. in fact the produc- tion, with operation of the mills, both day and night. is hardly sufficient to meet the strong demands.
 The Alabama Steel and Wire Corn pany are still getting steel from their steel plant at Gadsden. notwithstand- ing that the iron furnace at that place mad to be shut down on account of the supply Of coke. which came from yir ginia. being cut off. There was con- siderable basic iron on the yards of the steel plant when the coke supplv gave out, and this accounts for a steady operation of the steel plant.

 The Cuba contract was A larre one and the wire trust was anxious to sell the product. The competition was sharp and the delivery pronosition thereto very pointed. The stimulation. call for quick delivery. Good prices were obtained for the wire.

REILLY'S CLEAN FIELD
HAS NO OPPOSITION NOW FOR
 MAYOR OF PENsACOLA.
Locking Forward is Public for Ar. rival of Battleships-Ex-Presi- dent Cleveland En Route
 to Scuth Florida.

Pensacola, March .)--A. V. Clubbs. who was announced several days ago as the candidate of the anti primary faction for the mayoralty, gives out c statement this morning that he will not take the ofice, and that, for good reasons, he will not enter the race. This places but a single candidate in the field, and that is Frank Reilly. who has very fine chances of winning out. He Is the only candidate for the mayoralty in the primary, hence he will receive the nomination without opposition. The time for filing the certificates expired at noon today. and MT. Reilly was the only one for the mayoralty.
 The withdrawal of MT. Clubbs was a great surprise to those who had antici- pated pushing the gentleman's candi- dacy for all 1t was worth, and he was regarded as a winner had he stood out to the end. The gentleman, in his statement as made public, said that had he ben reasonably assured that a recorder would have been provided. he would have made the race Not being thus assured, he would not consent to continue.
 Some of those who had at first an- nounced that they would abide by the results of the primary have made it known that they will stand for elec- tion or reelection as the case might be at the general election to be held in June. The faith in the primary seems to be on the decline, and to that end the advocates of the system are working all in their power to keep up the life of the primary The result is that the two factions are now try ing to see just which side will have the most followers and the case re- sulting is very interesting.

which will soon be inaugurated, that he will issue a challenge to fight the heavyweight champoin. The big fel- low realizes that he must put a couple of fast ones out of the way before he can hope for chance at the champion.
 I'll get good manager who knows the fighting game and will place my self under his charge. I believe that can whip Champion Jeffries, and If successful in my first fights will go af- ter him." said Smithy.
 Smith is said to be exceptionally clever with the gloves and fast for a big man. The latest fad of the twirler will be watched with interest by the sporting fraternity.
