CANNOT GET GOOD MEN.

H. A. Dunkle, foreman for the
Barber Asphalt company, whose
transfers, teamowners and labor
ers went On strike yesterday, today
is hiring foreigners to take the
places vacated by the strikes.
The company figures on being able
to complete the work of grading
without the strikers but expects to
find it difficult to get competent
asphalt men. The strikers say
William Briggs, the former SUI
perintendent who resigned, prom
ised them the new IS scale, but
that since then a new man is in
charge who refused it. Dunkle
claims the company figured on this
job according to the old scale and
that the payment of the new scale
would cut off the compapy's profits.

Chicago will be the principal
headquarters of the congressional
campaign committees of both par
ties. AS it is in the middle west
that the tariff revision sentiment
seems to be strongest and most
widespread, 1t is in this region that
the Democrats will fight hardest to
steal Republican districts.
The Republicans are looking for
Democratic gains. They expect the
present large majority in the house
of representatives to be reduced by
Is or 20 members. They even go
so far as to say that they will not
regret such reduction.
One thing can be stated as a
certainty. If the Republicans come
out Of the impending struggle with
a small majority, President Roose-
welt will summon an extra session
Of the Goth congress next March,
for the purpose of revision.

ARE WILLING TO ARBITRATE.
The electrical workers now on
strike brought their grievances
against the Washington Water
Power company before the Central
Labor union at its meeting last
night. They asked for the support
OF the Central and We're promised
all the help that that body could
render. A committee was appoint
ed to wait on the company and
try to arrange a settlement of the
existing trouble, if possible.
A very important feature of the
strike Is the fact that the electrical
workers are willing to settle the
whole dispute by means of arbitra-
ton, and the committee from the
central will undoubtedly use every
endeavor to bring about an adjust
ment of the strike along these
lines.
F. NJ. Allen, business agent of the
electrical workers, says the strike
was called in accordance with in
ternational law and all statements

The average temperature for the
preceding November was A de-
grees and there were only nine
days on which the mercury was
below the freezing point. There
was an excess of temperature that
month of 1873 degrees.
The average temperature for last
December was 30.6 degl ees and on
every day except one was the mer-
curry below the freezing point. The
mercury went down to 10 degrees
above on December 81. There was
deficiency of temperature that
month of 20 degrees.
For the month of December, 1904,
the average temperature was 1876
and there were only Is days when
the thermometer was below the
freezing point. There was an ex-
cess of temperature this month of
70 degrees.
The weather records show that
every month of last winter, with
the exception of February, was
colder than the corresponding
month of the preceding year. TAX
Ing the sums of the excuses and
deficiencies in temperature we find
that last winter there was an ex
cess Of only 3S6 degrees, while the
year before the excess amounted t.
61S degrees.

THIS CIRCUS Will
Have A PARADE

When the circus trust announced
last season that 1t had decided to
omit the circus parade, it was
thought by large number of peo-
pie that the declaration meant all
circuses would in future omit this
attractive feature. 1t is stated
positively by the agents Of Norris
& Rowe that their show is one that
will not omit the circus parade.
Norris & Rowe do not belong to
the circus trust. There contention
is that the parade Is as time hon.
ored an institution as the very cir
Gus itself and as long as the pub
lie finds enjoyment in the street
spectacle they will continue giving
it. This season, to show their an
tagonism towards the big circus
trust they have evolved free
street display on more liberal
scale than ever before. Beautiful
new tableax floats and handsomely
carved wagons will be shown.
There will be four bands of music
On big new carved bandwagons.
There will be a special big wagon
containing the host of clowns and
other fun makers.
The parade will serve to show,
in some small measure, how great
ly the Norris & Rowe circus has
enlarged over that of last season.
The dates Of exhibition are Mon
day, May q, and Tuesday, May %.

POSTPONE FINAL ACTION,

The left & Schaffer trouble was
again before the Central Labor
union last night. 1t was stated by
members who had this matter in
hand since the commencement of
the trouble that the firm had
agreed to unionize their ice plant
and to employ only union help in
construction work in the future. It
was decided to consult the struc-
tural trades alliance before placing
the firm again on the fair list.

hour. The marvellous growth OF
the cotton manufacturing indus
try is accountable for this.
A good deal of Importance is
laid by the leaders in congress on
the recent political happenings in
Iowa. The success of Governor
Cummins, who is making a cam
paign for third terms, is regarded
as an endorsement of the tariff re-
vision issue. Governor Cummins is
pioneer revisionists, the author of
the Iowa idea.
Leslie NJ. Shaw, the present Sec
rotary of the treasury, represents
the opposite of the Iowa idea"
But Secretary Shaw has just been
defeated in his own congressional
district, the 10th, on this issue
clearly made by Governor Cum
Minis. The convention which en-
dorsed Cummins declined to en-
dorse Shaw.

MEXICAN WAR
VETERANS
(Scripps News Association.)

WASHINGTON, May S.-The
33rd annual reunion of the National
Association of Veterans of the Mex
lean war opened here today for a
two days session. The attendance
is surprisingly large. Many of the
members are accompanied by their
wives and families. An interest

the occasion, including a number of
social features and visit to Presi-

to the contrary are untrue. He
called attention to the fact that the
calling out of the men employed
by the company on inside work was
advised and sanctioned by a mem
Der of the international executive
committee, which would hardly
have been the case had the strike
been illegal. The company had
four men at work this morning at
tempting to fill the places of the
6S strikers.
The reason, it is stated, that the
central body did not place the COM
pany on the unfair list last night
was because the laws of the cen
trail will not permit of such action
until every other method to set
tie such difficulties are exhausted.

as the lowliest and set the exam
pie of not being dependent upon
other mems labor. Although he
was a count and rich man, he be-
gan years ago to mend his own
shoes. OF late he has made his
own clothes. This picture shows
him in peasant garb making one Of
his pilgrimages about Moscow.
Were it nit for the good manage
ment of his wife, who does not be-
lieve exactly as Tolstoy does, he
would be an object of charity.

Mr.. Carnegie's Motives.

One of the arguments against accepting
Mr.. Carnegie's proffered gift is that he
is trying to "immortalize his name," and
that Richmond should be no party to
the scheme. We do not know anything
about Mr.. Carnegie's motives as we
have never been permitted to look into
his heart. But we have never deemed
It crime for man to endeavor in any
honest way to "immortalize his name"
However that may be. Mr.. Carnegie has
not intimate that he desires to inveigle
Richmond into that scheme or into any
scheme. He does not stipulate that any
monument shall be erected to his mem
DRY, or that the library shall be named
for him. The only condition named in
his letter to Mr.. Whittet is that tho
Council shall appropriate $4,000 a year
for maintenance.
Another argument is that public
library would be a public incubus"
whatever that may mean. We suppose
the meaning is thae 1t would be con-
tinuing expense. That is true, but so
is the public school system a continuing
expense. and. therefore, in that sense
arc an incubus" And 80 ia every church

Name The Man

Some tImc ago when Tho question OF
nominating Southern nun for Presi-
dent was under dlscussion--nnd by the
way, when was that question not under
discussion 1.-THE Times Dispatch re-
marked that the party could ut least
do no worse with a Southern man in the
lead than 1t did in 1904. with the man
from New York. Judge Parker seems
to take the same view. III his Charlotte
speech. he said that under his leader
ship, the party had made the worst fall
ure OF It's history and as tho South was
the backbone OF the Democracy, he
thought 1T right and proper. II not cx-
candidate In 1908.
There are various comments on Judge
Parkers suggestion. A Southern senator
in Congress is quoted by the New York
Times, as saying that Judge Parkcrs
proposal is simply a scheme to defeat
Bryan. II don't mean" said he, ito
imply that Mr.. Bryan should necessarily
be the nominee again in 1905 mean
that 1t is an effort on Parkcr's part to
defeat the choice Of a candidate who
will represent the ideas for which Bryan
stands"
That reminds US that about the timea
OF Judge Parkers speech in Charlotte.
Mr. Josephus Daniels, editor of the Ra-
leigh News and Observer and a member
of the national committee made public
the prediction that Mr.. Bryan would be
the Democratic standard-bearer In 1905.
Here's another one. 1t was our privi-
lege recently to discuss the subject with
q Southern Democrat, whose name has
frcm time to time been prominently mem
toned in connection with the Democratic
nomination. "As general proposition"
said he, there is no reason why the
candidate should not be taken from the
South, but where is the MANI"
That's the question. What man is
there in the South whom Southern Demo-
Gratis with any sort OF unanimity are pre-
pared to bring forward?

Mr.. Gage probably is the best known
banker In the West, having been prcs-
dent OF the First National Bank OF Chi

companies In the East. For tho last five
