Equal Rights for All.

The question OF securing a healthy.
self-respecting and mutually sympathetic
attitude as between employer and en-
ploye, capitalist and wage worker, is a
difficult one. All phases Of the labor
problem prove difficult when approached.
But the underlying principles, the root
principles, In accordance with which the
problem must be solved are entirely sim
pie. We can get justice and right dealing
only If We put as Of paramount lmpor-
lance the principle of treating a man on
MS worth as a man rather than with
reference to his social position. his occu-
patton, or the class to which he belongs.
There are selfish and brutal men In all
ranks OF life. II they are capitalists
their selfshness and brutality may take
the form Of hard indifference to suffer-
ing, greedy disregard of every moral re-
straint which interferes with the accum-
niauon OF wealth, and cold-blooded ex-
pioitauon OF the weak: or, IL they are
laoorers, the form OF laziness. of suIlen
envy OF the more fortunate, and of will
-ingness TO perform deeds of murderous
violence. Such conduct Is Just as repre-
hensible IN one case as In the other. ana

St Petersburg, April 4, 11:4O a. m. Prince Henry of Prussia, brother to the emperor of Germany, reached nsarskoe Selo this morning.

BEING HELD
 IN SEVERAL PLACES.
Municipal Ownership the Issue Elec- tion is Being Fought With Much Enthusiasm on Both Sides-voters in Some of the Wards ere Aroused at Early Morn by Ringing Bell

Chicago, Apr. 4-Ownership by the city Of the street railways of Chicago was the principal issue in the munich pal election held here to-day. Fran chises estimated to be worth $2OO,OOO,- GOO were involved. John NJ. Harlan, republican candidate for mayor, favored tentative arrangement with the trac- tion companies providing for ultimate municipal ownership, while Judge Ed ward r. Dunne, the democratic nomi- nee, stood for immediate ownership by the city. A number of other i'm portant issues also were decided.
 The day opened with cloudy skies and chilly northwest wind accom- panied by occasional light showers.
 Democratic enthusiasm developed increased hope as the balloting pro- gressed. The basis was slow voting in some of the republican wards. Repub- licans admitted that the slow voting was against them, but ridlculed claims that the democrats would carry any wards normally republican.
 Democratic and republican workers kept up lively pace in the 2lst ward, the home of both John M. Harlan and Mayor Harrison. The result there was said to be decidedly in doubt. HarrI- son in the last municipal election car Tied the ward but democrats conceded it would be hard for Bunne to poll as large vote in the ward, handicapped by Harlan's residence there.
 In the first ward, usually controlled by the democratic alderman, Micnael Kenna, familiarly known as 'Hinky Dimk". a novel method was utilized to get the lodging house voters to the polls.
 Squads of men armed with punches of cannon crackers were sent along the streets and soon there was din sufficient to discount genuine artil- lery. The inmates of the lodging houses were speedily organized into platoons of four and voted as rapidly as possible. The workers however seemed to be unusually cautious in marshalling this class of voters.
 Alderman Kenna declared that the colored residents and the Italians, who usually vote the republican ticket were supporting Dunne.
 A bell such as used on cattle in the agricultural districts, was used to arouse sleepy voters in the twenty fourth ward.
