DOVER. March S.-Democrats work
ing together defeated the Wilmington

WITH TIE EDITORS
WAGE REDUCTIONS.

In the latest issue Of the American
Federationist. the official publication of
the American Federation Of Labor,
there appear such injuncttons as these:
Men Of labor, no wage reductions!
Resist every attempt to reduce
wages.
1T IS better to resist (wage reduc-
tions) and lose than not to resist at
all
Labor has firmly resolved and I'M
alterably determined to resist wage re-
auctions. no matter if the reductions
are offered as a way out Of financial
stress"
From this it might be inferred that
labor leaders are disposed to share
Mr. James J. Hilrs apprehension of
what he calls .'healthful relaxation
in industrial circles. admitting that
such relaxation is possible, if not
probable, among its most active and
direct causes are the present high rate
of wages and the high cost Of material
due to high wages. Assuming the oc
currence of period of relaxation, what
is labor's policy? A falling off of or
ders means a curtailment of output,
and that means either that a smaller
number Of men will be employed at
present rates, while some are thrown
out Of employment or that the pres
ent number may be employed at lower
rates. If the time comes when. as Mr..
Hi says. there will be two jobs for
three men instead Of three jobs for
two men, it is TO be inferred from
these official preeepts that labor would
rather see two men working at pres
ent wage rates and one man out of
employment than to sec men making
at least fair provision for the needs
Of their familtes?-New York Sun.

DEADLY CROSSING THE CAUSE.

Barring Porter county, whose death
roll BY railroad accidents was swelIed
to sixty by reason Of the Woodville
wreck IN which slxty-two lives were
lost, 1t is humiliating to note that
Lake county leads tile counties of the
state for 1905, in the matter Of fatal
grade casualties. This is not exolud-
ing even Marion county in which the
state capital, the largest city in Indi-
ana is located.
Thirty-nine fatalities is the sum Of
the deaths by railroad accidents in
Lake county alone according to sta
tistics just complied from reports sub
mitted by different coroners through
out the state. Marion county's deaths
from railway accidents amount to the
comparatively small number OF twelve.
This is less than one-third the number
Of fatalities which blot Lake countys
escutcheon. The number of railroads
entering the territories under COM
parison is greater IN Lake county than
in Marion county by several and the
total mileage Of traction IS still more
IN proportion to the number of extra
roads On the other hand Marion
county's population Is vastly greater
than that Of Lake county and the peo-
pie are confronted BY the same condi-
tions as to grade crossings there. as
here The fact that the Eastern roads
running out Of Chicago all pass
through Lake county, as well as many
Of the Southern roads makes the traffic
heavier in many instances than that
entering indianapolis but all things
taken into consideration. including the
difference in population and all it
seems doubtful whether there is any
excuse for the death rate in Lake
counay being so greatly in excess of
that ID Marion county
This being the case. it must follow
that the cities here are lax in enforc-
ing the railroad companies to properly
protect their crossings and to do their
own share in protecting the public
from the dangers which Turk in that
deadliest of all evils, the deadly grade
crossing.

ANOTHER SIGN OF PROGRESS.

1t is generally safe to size UP the
respectabi1ity and intelligence OF
community by the size and prosperity
of its lodge in Masonry. One does not
need to be a Mason to use Masonry
as a basis Of estimation The fact is
conceded that Masons are almost in
variably good. clean citizens and intel
ligent men. A fourishing Masonic
lodge In a town IS therefore q reason
ably good criterion and reassuring
fact to the inquiring stranger.
Hammond has a Masonic lodge 1t
may we'll be proud Of. AS the hand
some structure whose corner stone lay
ing is being celebrated today is reared,
Hammond will need no further evil
dence of its desirability as a place OF
residence. Not but what 1t has other
evidences IN plenty, but the Masonic
temple will serve as mute testimonial,
proclaiming for itself the fact that here
in this industrial center is gathered
a large community OF citizens who are
a credit to themselves and to their
town.
When one looks back over the years
and considers that within the last
couple of decades the Blue lodge has
grown to 215 members, with almost
half hundred more eligibles clamoring
for admission, one has the story Of
the march OF progress in this city in
nutshell.
The pioneers in Masonry in this sec
tion OF the county exemplify the truth
of the theory above promulgated. Fore
most in the community in the early
days they have held their position
throughout the intervening years and
today stand for what is best in the
business and social life Of Hammond
and all that makes for progress in a
city. They include such men as NJ. NJ.
Towle. F. r. Mott and ". III. Gostlin,
all citizens upon whom Hammond
looks with pride.
The influence Of Garfield lodge can
be estimated in the character OF it's
guests of honor, who embrace not only
the most prominent Masons in the state
of Indiana, but one Of the foremost fig
ures in the nations life Charles w.
Fairbanks. second in the administration
today and a strong candidate for the
presidency.
The event that is being celebrated
this afternoon and evening stands
alone in the history Of northern IN
diana. 1t Is unique. both in the fact
of the handsome building which is be-
ing dedicated and in the prominence
of the guests who are in attendance.
Within one week Hammond has been
distinguished by two remarkable occa-
sions that many a municipality Of
much larger area and population than
this city, might well envy. Last week
witnessed the dedication Of the hand
soonest and most costly postofflce build
ing in northern Indiana. Today the
hosts are gathered to participate in the
corner stone laying OF the finest Ma
sonic temple within corresponding
area. Hammond does not. as a rule,
do things in half way fashion, but
z It has especial reason to felicitate it
self upon these two great occasions
within so short q time.

CHICAGO LETTER.

Chicago, May Wheat scored a SEN
for all of the active futures. The buy
ing wave which emanated both from
the south and northwest was the larg-
est so far on the present bull move
ment. The northwestern contingent
who have been short of wheat and
looked with skepticism upon the con-
slant flood of crop damage reports were
the largest buyers. They seem to have
changed their position. Another strong
bull argument was the deliveries of
four million bushels of wheat on the
May contracts. This apparently went
into strong hands as none of it was
offered for resale. Shorts who had
been waiting for this opportunity to
buy in their contracts were greatly
disappointed.
Crop news from the southwest was
again bullish in the extreme. Crop
Expert Snow estimates the winter
wheat crop at $4,000. 900 compared with
over 450.Q00,000 last year.
The market held the entire gain,
closing strong at the highest prices
Of the day.

half hour of the session II responded

NEW YORK LETTER.

New York, May 1.-The stock mar
ket opened fractionally higher in SYM
pathy with higher quotations from
London and a feeling of optimism per-
vading the exchange.
The early prices. however, were the
highest Of the day. A general sell
ing movement appeared in Union Pa
cific, st. Paul and the Hill shares
The large bond issue by the Atchi-
son Co. was a depressing factor up
on the general market and caused re-
newed selling in that issue. After an
early advance to 95A, it became weak,
selling down to 9415. The sensational
advance in all of the grain markets
caused the bulls upon stocks to pause
IN their operations and reflect whether
their position upon the crop situation
was the right one The estimate Of
one Of the best posted men in the grain
trade that Kansas would not raise
over three-quarters Of crop caused
vigorous selling II stocks of the grain
carrying kind.
The two strong spots in an other
wise weak market was the copper
shares both Amalgamated and Ana
conda showed fair gains in the early
part of the session. The former SELL
ing above So and the latter over g.
higher quotations for the metal abroad
and better local demand for the fin
tshed product was assigned as the rea-
son for the advance. Houses who
usually operate for Standard oil inter-
ests were the best buyers of both
stocks. 1t is well known in the street
that this faction is in favor of higher
prices, and especially so for their pet
securities.
The close tonight shows rather
ragged market. Should the bad crop
reports continue tomorrow, prices will
more than likely recede still further
