WONDERFUL VOCABULARY

Brooklyn.-Nocturnal ramblers in
this great city need never go home
hungry, if they feel the pangs of appe-
title demanding food before they retire
and are fearful lest the pantry at
home will not furnish material for a
smack" There are in the borough
nearly, if not fully, 100 all-night restau-
rants-places that never close their
doors. OF course, that number is
small when compared with the list
Of allnight Joints" in Manhattan, but
Brooklyn is essentially a city Of
homes, and the wonder is that so
many places find 1t profitable to keep
open day and night.
Naturally the summer season is the
best for this class of restaurants. The
surrounding beaches attract multi
tudes of visitors at night, and the late
trolleys carry full loads to various
parts of the borough. With its vast
network of street railways, Brooklyn
has scores of transfer points, and it is
notable that one or more all-night res
taurants are to be found located near
almost every one of such points. The
returning merry-makers are generally
hungry, unless they have eaten at one
of the seashore resorts, and it is often
the case that the cost of meals at the
beaches is extortionate, or the food
served by them is not tempting. The
restaurants that keep their doors open
at all hours, though they may not
equal the best, are almost invariably
clean and inviting, and meals that
would satisfy the ordinary appetite
are served.
Places Serve Good Food
Without Putting on FriIs.
In the downtown district the all
night eating places are the most nu-
merous. Beginning at the Brooklyn
bridge, or near it, one may follow the
regular channels of travel and find
plenty of places where the wants of
the inner man are attended to in vari-
Gus styles. At this season of the year
shell-fsh-clams, Holsters, crabs and
even oysters-are in the greatest de-
mand, and there are places where
such food is prepared in very tempt
ing manner. There may be no nap
kins; the dishes may be of heavy
earthenware instead of china and the
"silverware" so worn that the brass
beneath is plainly visible, but the
"soft-shells" are done to a turn, and
although the place may have no sa-
loon license, one can always get a
bottle of cold beer to wash down the

Who Will Bell the Cat?

Almost everybody appears to be In
favor Of the bill for the free, untaxed,
denaturized alcohol except, possibly, the
Standard Oil company. This organiza-
ton is not the idol Of the people at
present, but it has underground sources
Of power which may stop this bill when
it seems to be moving most easily to-
ward enactment into law. .. :.
The house committee on ways and
means, whose authority is great in legis-
1ation, since it is charged with the duty
of reporting, all bills which have to do
with the raising Of revenue, has agreed
to report the bill favorably. The sen
ate would ordinarily be expected to
take house bill of this character up
promptly and vote upon. it. But the
Standard Oil company is strong in the
senate. It could easily obstruct it's
course so that it would not come to a
vote in the present session. The long
drawn-out debate upon the freight bill
the backward condition of: the senate
calendar with regard to the appropria
tion bills, could easily give the quietus
to the alcohol bill.
It is evident that the measure must
develop some friends in the senate who
will insist upon it being brought to g
vote, or it will stand very little chance

The Tariff in the Campaign.


u Ii. seems to be reasonably certain that
khe congressional campaign this year
will be Fought out mainly on the old
Issue of tariff reform. Our Washington
correspondence today describes the sit
hation quite clearly. While the 'repub-
ficans leaders are for the most part OPP
bosed to legislation and will probably
be able to prevent consideration Of the
harif at this session, they can only do
Eso by shrewd political manipulation.
5oslong as the rate bill is before the
country the tariff question cannot get
1krst place, but once that is out Of the

Labor Question in England. /

sS The new British parliament is having
"a struggle with the labor question
which is suggestive Of the aggressive
character Of the union movement in
Great Britain. The demand Of the
labor party, one that has been partly
conceded in bill recently introduced
by the government, is for reversal Of
the Taft Vale decision in the house Of
lords three years ago. .s~-s..-
In 1900 the Amalgamated Society Of
Railway Workers declared strike upon
the Taft Vale line in Wales and pick;
eted the station at Cardiff to discourage
the Importation of non-union workers.
Thereupon the railway applied for an
Injunction against the union and this
was granted, Notwithstanding the union
pleaded that 1t was neither corporation
nor an Individual and could not be sued.
The action against it was dissolved on
appeal to the high court and again re-
affirmed on appeal to the house OF
lords, the court of last resort, which
held that a trades union can be sued
and is liable for the injuries which it's
members may commit. ~ =" -~.
The labor party now seeks by special
legislation to overthrow this decision.
The government has yielded the point
Of picketing and is about to declare
this process legal and a part of the
right to strike. It proposes also to de-
clare that unions are not liable for the
acts Of their members unless those acts
are shown to have been directed or
sanctioned by the union itself.
The labor party has been sticking
| out for a bill which would wipe away
all adverse decisions and leave the
unions free to do as they please with
out the danger Of being called to legal
account as corporations. The govern.
| ment has declined to go that far. Its
bill is a compromise which is satisfac-
tory to neither side. It's reception in
the house Of commons was distinctly
| chilly and it is quite likely to be re:
iected by the lords. 49,.

Gould Not Spare Wolfer.

The attempt Of Illinois to secure
Henry Wolfer's services for the Joliet
prison reminds Minnesota people that
the state is fortunate in having such a
high grade man for head Of the institu-
ton at Saltwater. The state prison is
a house of detention and correction for
several hundred men and women of all
grades Of criminality, and requires a
firm hand and strong discipinarian to
keep them in proper control and safe
keeping.
The institution has another side, how
ever, which is more important to, the
state at large. It is a great 1nanufae-
turing plant, run chiefly for the benefit
Of Minnesota farmers, and in oompeti-
ton with one of the great trusts Of the
country. Henry Wolfer is proved to
be good business head for the Irvine
plant, and has the experience needed
to carry it thru the next two or three
years, which will be crucial period.
The binding Irvine trust has started out
to drive the state plant out of business,
and will employ the most up-to-date
methods for that end. In such time
the state could ill afford to spare the
man who has-b built the plant to it's pres,
emit successful position.

The Money Market.

The stock holders of the Minneapolis
& St. Louis road, who met here yes
terday and ratified the issue of $5,000,-
900 in 5 per cent notes, to finance new
extensions, took action merely perfume
tory and confrmatory, but it served to
call attention again to the monetary sit
uation and the unsatisfactory state Of
the bond market. This, is only one Of
q number of similar instances. Several
eastern railroads, Of highest credit, have
recently issued short-time notes for
money required, in preference to issu-
ing bonds. These are temporary. 'Ulti-
mately bonds will replace the notes. Wy
No stronger testimonial of the gen=
eral prosperity and commercial activity
Of the country could appear. It is not
good time to float bonds. A railroad
in fertile and growing country and
under honest and capable manage
ment, like the Minneapolis road,
should not be obliged to pay an
interest rate of s per cent for
money borrowed. There are CAPT
talists and small investors only too
glad, ordinarily, to put money into such
Investment, especially in the northwest
where possibilities have only begun to
be tested. But the moment is not pro.
pitious, and unless bond issue carries
an interest rate Of 5 per cent or higher,
it does not now appeal so readily.
This is because there is so much new
enterprise in commerce and industry
and so much extension and expansion
of old business that money Gamble used
to greater advantage in active business
Then the spring demand is being fell

considerations enter into it operating

The situation will readjust itself IN
