keeping a fire burning, Early in the

Marshal Carney reported that the
quarantine rules were not being OBJ
served in the scarlet fever and diph-
iberia cases now in the city. Accord
ing to the marshal there are now nine
cases of the former, one case of diph-

places were all placarded and were
supposed to be under quarantine.
However, Mr.. Carney stated that per-
mission had been given by physicians
in two different cases for people to
enter and leave houses under quar-
antine provided they did not enter
the sick rooms. This state of affairs,
the marshal asserted, placed him in a
hard position, and he asked author
ity to arrest any person not a pl1ysi-

quarantined house. In the absence
of the city physician, DIR. Cole, there

labor makes it possible for working men, if
they organize closely, to advance the terms
upon which they will agree to sell their labor.
But this is not the ouly reason why there is
likely to be unrest in the labor ranks during
1905. There is another and very important
reason. Underneath the ranks of labor is ris.
ing great and increasing pressure-a pressure
that will increase as the prosperity period con-
tinues. Tha. pressure causes increasing unrest
among the mass of workers. 1t comes fron
the rise in the cost of living"
"The serious part of the matter is that,
while the labor organizations are rapidly in.
creasing in numbers, and also in wealth, thro'
the payment OF dues, the manufacturers, whom
we commonly call the large employers of labor,
are organizing to oppose them.
rs that an augury for peace? No; it means
warfare. 1t means bitter 6ghts-strikes, lock-
outs, blacklsts, boycotts.
"What labor and capital should do is to see
that their interests are at one. What they get
from production depends upon how much the
factor land gets. If land gets but a small
share, labor and capital will have large share
to divide between them. Their highest aim is,
therefore, not to fight between themselves, but
to join their forces and turn against land spec
ulation.
''But, insteod of that, we may expect to
witness, during 1905, much bitter fighting be-
tween factory and mill owners or capitalists on
one side and laborers on the other. All such
fighting will impede production, OF course.
Such impeding will cause loss in the aggre-
gate wealth production in the community, and
will bring immediate hardships, both to labor
and capital so fighting"

CRIME TALK.

Some one claims that America is second to
Russia in the commission of crime. | don't
know as to the truth OF the statement, but see
no reason why it is not true. There is SO much
stealing in high places, and the big thieves
have got off so easily, it would not be wonder
if we could give the Russians pointers in the
raking in OF great hauls; and as to mobs, the
difference lies only in the kind OF people we
mob. The Russians mob the Jews, so as to be
able to seize The goods OF which the Jews are
possessed and we Americans mob ''niggers"
for the fun Of seeing them suffer aud die If
there are degrees in The standing of mobs, the
Russian stands higher than we do
The prohibitionists have tried to blame all
the crimes on liquor, but the charge will not
stick. Those nobs which took the Tvs of
about hundred men within the last year were
all duly sober, and the mob murders were
