LABOR IN POLITICS.

According to the N. Y. Sun, the last
census shows that about 1000. 900 of
people in the United States are en-
gagged in bread-winning occupations,
of various kinds. About 5 per cent Of
these people is organized in an associ-
alton known as, the American Fedora
ton of Labor. Of the possibly 1,S00.-
0OC members of that organization some
are minors, some are women and many
are aliens. Ever since its organiza-
ton, the association has held aloof
from politics, but it has now publicly
proclaimed it's intention to be known,
hereafter, as a political factor, which
makes the above exhibit of its politi-
cal strength of some interest. It's
mode CT operation is to go into the va
rious congressional districts and try to
defeat candidates who have regarded
its Pet measures. the most important Of
which is the Anti-Injunction bill, with
disfavor. 1t is evident. at a glance,
that the Federation is too feeble. n,l-
meTically to constitute, all alone, a
political party; but it may effect some
thing, on the balance of power prin-
ciple. 1t must also be remembered
that the Federation has very deter
mined opposition from the "non-union'
element, many of whom retain very
lively recollection of the sluggings
they have experienced at the hands of
the Federation pickets. These may
be relied upon with absolute certainty.

NOT so WRruous AFTER ALL

MOI SO VlRTUOUS AFTER ALL
For many years, the people of the
United States have been cultivating
an intense admiration of themselves
Which has led them to form very
false estimate of their condition.
Among other whimsical notions SEN
tlment has widely prevailed that we
are, upon the whole, the most virtuous
people in existence. But stubborn
facts and studious observers are rapid
~ tearing such notions to tatters For
instance, DR.. White, former president
of Cornell University, makes the fol
lowing statement:
Deaths by violence are increasing
rapidly. Our record is now larger than
that Of any other country in the world
The number of homicides that are
punished by lynching exceeds the num-
Der punished by due process of law
The Chief of Police of Chicago ex-
plains the fact that that city has more
murderers awaiting trial than any
ether city in the world except Rome
and st. Petersburg, thus: 1T should
not be forgotten that Chicago is the
dumping ground for the different ma
tons Of Eurone and that it is also a
congregating point for the hobos of the
United States. Chicago is a kind Of
rallying; point for the scum of the
earth. The result is that I'VE have
many criminals. A large proportion of
Chicago homicides are committed by
foreigners"
When we come to scan the present
record of our magnates Of trade and
money, the prospect is no less nause-
ating and there is no need of specify
ing instances which are notorious all
over the world

That Office had fallen into extremely
bad odor upon the discovery of the
Bourne frauds. Lock as it is Of the
county treasury, the public felt and
realized in 1902 that a reformer was
needed there, a man not only of the
most unquestioned honesty and whose
moral courage could be depended upon,
but one of superior organizing ability.
krahmer's life spent among us, his
public%and private record, had earned
for him to the knowledge of>many the
character that was SO wanted. The cir
:cumstances were then extremely I'M
favorable for a republican candidate,
but he consented to make the run, was
nominated and was elected.
He more than fulfilled the hopes Of
these who had called him to a difficult
task. His four years in the Office have
caused it to occupy a vastly different
place in the public estimation
Shambling laxity, incompetency and
Incidence have been weeded out; or
der, discipline and improved methods
of4accounting and balancing have been
introduced. Successive grand juries
and the state officials who have investi-
gated the, Office during that time have
complimented it.

proved lock, and the people will not
try anybody's new patent this time.

According to the Sun. people in that
block are expressing themselves very
vigorously. This was not all. An ex-
cited crowd gathered in front of the
house, and the inevitable "rope'' made
its appearance. But there was moth
ing to take vengeance on but the sign
board, and that was torn down and

The whole tenor of the Telegraph's
article would lead one to suppose that
it has just learned, for the first time,
that race-prejudice exists in the North
as well as in the South In fact.
great many people have known that
such was the case for long time, and
are by no means surprised at the mani
festation in NewAYorl. And the Tele-
graph may observe that the prejudice
is against the well-to-do Afro-Ameri-
cans and not against the loafer anal
vagabond, Just as it is at the South
But New York is by no means a
typical Northern city. It is a Babel
in which are congregated the scum Of
the earth, including a large element
from the South. Furthermore, it is a
Democratic city, and when the Tele-
graph rails against the mob of New
York, it is railing against it's own par
ty associates.

Il shall ever remember the day
