President Small, Of the Commercial
Telegraphers' Union has been summarily
removed from his official capacity by a
unanimous vote of the acting members of
the official board, as result of his call
ing off the strike without asking for a
vote on the question. A special con.
vention of the Union will be held in
Milwaukee on October 20. The strike
will be handled until that time by the
executive board.
"The suspension of Small was the only
thing that could save the union from
utter Decentralization" said S ]. Konen-
kamp, acting chairman of the executive
board. 1.-The members everywhere voted
to repudiate him, and if we had not sus-
pended him and assumed control there
would have been no head or order in a
national sense. If Small felt that the
strike should be called off he should have
asked for vote by letter"

The Brooklyn Ferry Co., which OBJ
tanned a franchise from the city of New
York and after operating ferry business
offered 10 sell out to the city for paltry
$I3. 600, 900, but, which offer was re-
fused. now threatens to go out of business
if the city does not accept their terms.
This sandbag method of compelling mu-
nicipal ownership is naturally objected TO
by the Mayor and citizens in general
especially so when a liberal estimate of
the company's equipment places the
value at not much more than 81, 900, 900.
1t is not likely, however, that the ferry
company will place itself liable to endless
personal suits for damages-not to men,
ton the action for forfeiture and penalty
which might be brought by the Attorney
General of the Stately making good its
threat, which is looked upon as bluff in
the hope of forcing through the proposed
raid on the municipal treasury. And it is
pretty certain, also, that the ferry COM
pany will find it will not be allowed to
abandon its service, even should it
attempt to doit.

From a Government report just issued
it appears that the total value of the
stone product of the United States last
year was $66, 37S,7e4. an increase of $42-

the production of crushed stone in making

The fight for local option in Delaware,
which will be voted for November S,
is hot one. The liquor men con-
fidently expect to carry Wilmington
by big majority, as we'll as the rural
districts, while the temperance people
predict with equal confidence they will
carry Sussex, Kent and rural Newcastle
county for local option without doubt,
and the city of Wilmington also. Will
mington Will be the battle ground from
now until the election. The liquor men
are more anxious to have the city remain
wet than they are for the success of their
cause throughout the State.
The local option committee has offered
rewards for the conviction of persons
who attempt to register illegally. The
license people, the "drys" say, have a
fund Of 500, 900, with which to wage the
war.
The temperance leaders are watching
the Republican machine, as they believe
that it is behind the liquor interests.
They believe that the decision of the
election rests largely with the negro vote,
aud it is rumored that this vote is to be
thrown into the "wet" camp on election
day.

Philadelphia business men are becor

Philadelphia business mer are becom-
ing uneasy as to whether Market street,
one of the greatest wholesale and retail
marts in the world, is to be pre-empted as
the Bowery boulevard of the Quaker
City, and the question is regarded by
business interests as the paramount issue
in the war on the cheap and noisy amuse-
ment places that keep up daily fanfare
of photograph horns in the retail section.
And whether, also, further invasion of
Chestnut street is to be stopped.
A crusade against the further encroach-
ment of these noisy canned music ma
chimes and cheap amusement places has
begun and every effort will be made in
future to keep them away from the prin-
cipal business centers.

New Du pont paper-In Delaware.

The Delaware Republican, a
weekly, eight page newspaper,
made its appearance in Dover
Friday. The announced publisher
is B. F. Simmons, Jr., Dover job
printer, but the name of the editor
is not gwen.
1t is understood that the Della
ware Republican will be an organ
of the du Pont faction of the Re
publican party. The State Senti
mel, the only other Republican
paper in Dover, is an Addicks
organ. The necessity of having a
vehicle for the dissemination of
Republicanism of the du Pont
brand at the State Capital is said
to have been the incentive for
starting the Delaware Republican.

Mr. Wilbur F. Wakeman, Secretary Of
the American Protective Tariff League,
in an interview with. various Washington
correspondents, recently, expressed
amazement over the extent of the tariff
revision sentiment which he has found in
the Middle West and admitted that re-
ports from all parts of the country to the
organization he represents indicate a
general tariff revision sentiment; but. he
hastens to add that it is his conviction
that all such sentiment will have dis.
sipated before time for the elections. 1t
is the opinion of politicians in Washing
ton that the tariff revision sentiment will
prevail and that Mr.. Wakeman places
himself in a rather ridiculous light when
he undertaken to prognosticate its evap-
Grafton before the elections throughout
the country.

Throughout official Washington the
greatest qualification is felt over the result
of Secretary Taft's visit in China and
from the cable received from there the
people in that far off land are equally
enthusiastic. Evidently the Chinese con-
slider the United States to be the only
power not wanting to annex part of the
territory of China and as being dis.
interestedly concerned in China's welfare,
and it is regarded as assured that the
utterances of Mr.. Taft will give American
business men in China renewed confidence
to push the lines of trade in which the
United States is interested.
