Federation of Labor Will
Have Immense Campaign Fund

New York, Aug. 13.-Is the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor to have a
larger campaign fund this fall than
either, or both, of the regular political
parties? And if 1t is, what will be
the result on election day?
The managers of the republican con-
gressional committee, at headquarters
in this city, would give a good deal
to know the answer to these questions.
So would the democrats, but as the
managers of the latter are chronicalIy
hard pressed financially, their anxiety
is considerably less marked than that
.of the hitherto heavily financed repub-
Iicans.
Al published statement has recently
come from Toronto to the effect that
the American Federation of Labor,
with which all Canadian labor unions
are affiliated has directed those unions
TO collect SIS each from their members
to help swell the campaign fund in
the United States. This statement
added that Canadian laborers were
rather unwilling to submit to such an
assessment, but weren't quite sure that
they could escape it.
Republican managers here have been
Informed that it was the intention of
the officers of the American fedora
tion to levy an assessment upon all
members in good standing in this
country, but 1t was news to them that
the federation purposed carrying the
hunt for funds across the international
boundary. These republican managers
also incline to question whether the
levy, If made, will be as much as SIS
per man, for they say that any figure
as large as this would give the feder-
alton campaign fluid running far in
to the millions Of dollars.
Sure to Have Big Fund.
I Even at 81 each, such an assess
nent would represent several millions
Of dollars At hair dollar each i'll
would amount to more than d million,
and as it is the intention OF the fed
GRAFTON to confine its activities to some
two or three dozen districts out of the
nearly 400 in the country, 1T is beIiey-
ed that any sum, represented by al
dollar assessment, or more, would not
be needed
So the republican campaign man
ayers, while watching the financing of
the labor campaign with interest are
not prepared to believe that any as
sessment that may be made viii
amount to more than so cents to 81
! member, the country over. But even
such a sum Will be many times larg-

TELLER WAS SHORT
ALABAMA BANKER USED TOO
MUCH COIN.
He Was 100000 Short and Confessed
He Had Lost the Amount in Offices
of the 5rokers-Part of the Sum
Guaranteed.

Birmingham, Ala, Aug. 1S-The Of
ficials of the First National bank to-
day announced that Alex B. Chisholm,
paying teller of that bank, is 500, 900
short in his accounts. Chisholm was
bonded to the bank for $4,000 there
fore the banks loss will be reduced to
$4,000. The discovery of the short
age was made while Chisholm was
away on his vacation. Today when
he returned he was taken before the
directors, where he confessed the
shortage and named certain brokers
as accomplices. He said he had lost
the money in their places.

er than any that either the republicans
or the democrats can command
| For the first time in it's recent his
| tory the republican party is this year
hard up. It now knows how the DEM
ocratic party has been feeling since
the first Bryan campaign. Each par
ty lis thus prepared to sympathize with
| the other. Both will keep track of
the labor campaign. Should labor
! have anywhere near a million dollars
this year for campaign purposes, and
concentrate that amount in two or
three dozen districts, some folks may
have a lot of trouble.
These folks are all republicans, for
the democrats during the last session
of congress, almost to a man, managed
to get on the good side of the labor
lobby. Among those marked for the
slaughter, in addition to Littlefield of
Maine and Speaker Cannon, are the
three republicans from the Pittsburg
section of Pennsylvania, with John
Dalzell at their head, Chairman Payne
of the ways and means committee, and
others of the leading republicans, of
the house.
1HSlt nGPupHCan MAJORITY
1t is conceded that the republicans
at the best win control the next con-
gress by a margin very materially
smaller than that by which they are
now in control. Even the party Lead
ers are now figuring on a majority of
not more than about fifty.
Dollar Plan Failed.
The dollar subscription plan is not
panning out. So far, less than enough
money has been collected to pay for
fitting UP the committee quarters on
the thirteenth floor of the st. James
building on Broadway, just above the
Fifth Avenue hotel.
There will be no subscriptions this
year from the great corporations,
which hitherto have come to the relief
of the republican party. IL rich men
give this year. 1t will be OF their own
private funds. Later on, after the
failure of the dollar donation idea has
become apparent the hat will be pass
ed among the wealthy men of the par |
tyl but the outcome of this programme
does not promise at this time to be !
howlingly successful The democrats /
tried the dollar subscription plan In /
1885, when their party was worked up |
to a degree of enthusiasm no party
In this country has experienced for Il
many years, and the result was very
unsatisfactory. How much more SO \

Denver, Aug 11-A childish love
match and engagement may cause the

hoe street, and she is years old
Bernice and little boy i'm the neigh
borhood named Willie Sanders. are

become engaged like grown up folks.
and later get married. They can
hardly talk, they are so youthful, but
the game of love starts early in life.
And Willie, finding a rough iron
washer that had dropped from some
piece of machinery, called in his glee
to his sweetheart, saying he had ring
for her. Calamity he placed the ring
on the girls finger, but he made a
mistake and slipped it on the index
finger of the right hand. That made
no difference to Bernice. She was en-
gagged; she had a ring that her own
lover had given her, and no older girl
with a real diamond engagement ring
was more happy than this little one.
Her mother paid little attention
when the girl proudly showed her new
treasure, and all night the child slept
with the old iron ring on her finger,
and she dreamed sweet dreams of hap
piness and love and getting married
and having a real house to take care
of instead of dollhouse.
The first thing when she awoke in
the morning Bernice looked to see If
the ring was still on her finger and it
was, but N.Y. how the finger was swol-
len.
A doctor was called in and found
the child in a critical condition from
blood poisoning
