statement of Warren +. Thummel. the
legal representative of the company.
that he personally had given $500 TO
Chairman Babcock of the Republican
congressional committee. The reason
advanced by Mr.. Babcock, as MIR.
Thummel remembered It, for asking

dent of the Wheeling and Lake Erie.
This move in the fight for the control
of the Wabash was designed TO keep
Mr.. Ramsey from presiding at the
called meeting of the board at Toledo

Ramsey's dismissal was that he had
openly attacked the company in his
suit against Mr.. Gould and his associ-
ates. Mr.. Gould himself presided at
the meeting. which was also attended
by Mr.. Ramsey, the latter protesting
against the action taken.

Cash Reaister Men Disciplined.

Cash Register Men disciplined.
The National Cash Register company
of Dayton. o., which has been noted as
an example OF generous consideration
for the welfare of its employees, dis
missed 300 men for failing to obey an
order to assemble and listen to ad-
dresses made by the company officials
ON the labor situation. The order fol-
lowed on the heels of a refusal TO grant
the demand for increased wages.
Organized Labor Bank.
Once again an effort has been made
at Chicago TO organize a bank for the
use of labor unions. The Common
wealth Trust and Savings bank has
been chartered for this purpose. and
directors have been chosen. 1t Is pro
posed to make this the first of a chain
OF union labor banks. The reason for
this move is said to be that union
money is often used TO oppose the
struggle of the working class for high
er wages and justice.
Mail Drivers Win Strike.
The strike of the New York mail
wagon drivers ended just in time to
prevent the termination of the coll

the last moment the New York Mail

drivers for an increase In wages and
recognition OF the union.

The employing printers of Chicago
have established school of printing
and are enrolling young women as pu.
pills. who receive from S12 to SIS a

move In opposing the strike of the job
printers. Secretary Hamm OF the
Typothetae says the plan is full OF
hope because the women will not be
long to unions and probably will not
go on strike All the other printing
trades have pledged their support to
the strikers.

More Insurance Rottenness.
President John A Mccall OF the New
York Life was again the star witness
before the Armstrong committee at
New York, when he admitted that he
had paid more than half million dol
lars to Andrew Hamilton for the pur-
pose of preventing the enactment OF
unfavorable legislation by the legisla-
tors of New York and other states. He
insisted that most of the insurance leg
islation throughout the country was
brought forward by people who DELHI
erately struck at the Insurance cOmpa-
MES with the expectation of being
bought off and that they were merely
blackmailers. On the same day Mr.
Mccall admitted that he had got loan
of $4,000 from the Metropolitan Life,
Of which he is director, at Ia per
cent, although quite recently the rate
was advanced to PA per cent. Presi-
dent Mccall was asked to explain the
affidavit made by Cashier Banta or the
New York Life TO the state officials OF
Texas to the effect that no contribu-
tons had been paid to the Republican
campaign fund. He said that the Tex
as officials had been allowed to inspect
the books Of the company, but that no
trace of the contributions was found
there. He did not believe that the Tex
as officials were entitled to this infor-
nation, but personally he claimed TO
have had nothing to do with the aft
davit of his cashier

SOME OPINIONS OF M, JAUREs.

The suggestion that France should enter into friendly relation with Ger many finds no favor in the eyes of M. Jaures, the Socialist leader. He writes that there are tendencies in German foreign policy with which it is impossi- ble for Republican France to associate herself, and which socialists will never cease to combat. In order to secure in Turkey and Asia Minor privileged economic treatment Germany, he says, has always supported and flattered the Sultan. Her policy is largely respon- sible for the Armenian massacres and the anarchy in Macedonia. The Sultan, he points out, would have yielded to unanimous Europe. The special assist ance of the German empire has secur- ed immunity for him. The German em-
 peror, impatient for the partition of China, had made himself the prophet
 of the crusade against yellow peril. If Europe shared his views she would
 submit Asia to a regime of systematic

THE RIGHT SPIRIT.

Nothing in this country is more en- couraging just now then the situation in New York city. There was much highly independent voting there last Tuesday, and the election came out just about as those who might be called the more intelligent voters wanted to have it. Bu: there was a prompt cry of fraud. and there are indications that 1 there was some fraud. It would be strange if there were not. MT. Hearst says that the fraud was against him. and he is going to find out if it was And h. is going to have all the help he needs in his quest. The way those who do not believe in him or his principles are coming to his support is indicative of the real sotndness of the people and their true leaders. The Tribune puts the situation as it is when it says: The point at issue is vastly more important than any question of personalities or of policies. It goes to the very heart of democratic government. The right of the people to cast their votes freely for whomsoever they wish and to nave those votes fairly counted is fundamen- tai. We might believe that Mir. Hearst's establishment in the City Hall would be the signal for the most appalling disaster, and that the citizens who vot- ed for him were all knaves and fools which we do not believe, for we know that the practical harm which he could do has been largely overestimated, and large part of his support is honest if blind revolt against real abuses. Yet, even if We had such dark forebodings, we should defend Mr. Hearst's title to office if the voters gave it to him. Bet ter four years of even the most reck- less and incompetent city government than four years of stolen security. Bet ter bad administration founded on the peoples will than good administration founded on the suppression of their right of self-government.
 That is the right spirit. If MT. Hearst was elected and the fact can be shown it will be- Anyhow, fraud in elections isn't popular in New York city.

MORE PROGRESS.

Women are fast getting their rights in this country. An interesting out come of the enormous crops which have been grown in the West this year has been the part which the women have taken in harvesting them. It was ab- solutely impossible to get men, no mat ter what inducements were offered, and therefore the farmers concluded to make it an inducement to the women to assist in gathering these crops. The result was most gratifying, and women and girls who went away from their homes to do this work received as high as $2.5O day above their expenses.
 It is interesting, but not at all sur prising, to read that the farmers report that in many cases the women are preferable to the men for this work Of course women do better than men in everything they undertake to do, and we verify believe that if women should take to carrying the hod it would soon be discovered that they could and would carry it more efficiently than men. Women in Europe do farm work for little or no pay In this country they can get good pay, and if they want to they can soon own the farms and the farmers.
