sentatives of the printers and the
typothetae.
Attorneys for the union raised the ques-
tion of jurisdiction. arguing that. since
there were members of the typothetae
who lived in Ohio. that organization had
no right to bring this suit in the federal
court, and, further, that it was simply
asking the United States court in Ohio
to enjoin the strikers in New York and
Chicago in connection with their dealings
with firms In those and the other cities
named.
For the petitioners, the attorneys there
upon asked leave to amend the suit to
eliminate from its provisions anything
that applied to members of the typothetas
in Ohio, and leave 1t simply a suit of the
specified twelve publishing concerns in
New York, st. Louis, Chicago and Mas
sachusetts against the directing officials
of the international Pressmens Union,
enjoining them from melting or ordering
or directing strikes in enforcement of de-
mands for an eight-hour day. notwith-
standing their contract to make no such

No money appropriated for school .5truc-
lures has been unused for years, except
in the one case of the Brookland colored
school, where the question of location is
still unsettled, without fault of the Com
missioners or any one else in the District
building The press of work in the puild-
ing inspectors office is not the reason
given for the delay in other cases, what
ever it may have been. The chief reason
for whatever delay has occurred and it
has been very much exaggerated, Is the
difficulty of getting suitable sites, in
volving the question of selection. titles
and prices, and then of getting plans to
fit the sites and bids on those plans with
in the appropriations.
THE method of appropriation. which
the Commissioners will ask Congress to
change so that the money may be avail
able year sooner than has hitherto been
the case, will obviate some of the delay.
I make this statement the more readily
because the immediate handling of this
matter is not In my office, but in that of
the Engineer Commissioner, who, I am
sure has done everything that was in his
power. as did his predecessors, to expe-
dite the construction of school build ngs,

"The Almiuhtv DoIlarr

A recent headline, Rule of the Dol
lar" has suggested the inquiry, Who
originated the familiar phrase 'the
almighty dollar?" 1t was Washington
Irving in The Creole Village" which
he published in 1887. The phrase be-
came so popular and excited so much
controversy in consequence of doubt
whether the adjective was irreverent
that its author had to explain eighteen
years later that he had intended mo
irreverence, even to the dollar. which
he is well aware is becoming daily
more and more an object of worship"
Dollar" is certainly one of the worlds
great words now, and it is difficult to
realize that it only means "valleyer,"
the "thaler' having been named after
the Joachimsthal, in Bohemia, in whose
valley it was first coined in the six
teenth century.-London Chronicle.

The morning of the fourth found
each owner, and trainer busy putting
the finishing touches on their favorite

was followed by crowds of admirers
and the argument grew hotter and
hotter with the day. AT last the race
was called and the TWO horses were
brought onto the track hitched to their
5000 rigs aud driven by expert men
Several times they scored and at last
they were off The little black with
her driver VIM Smith was given the
poll and lead off by length which she
held until the last quarter when Ed.
Prudhon, the expert driver from Iowa
who was handling the Sears horse,
crowded ahead aud as they came down
the stretch the sorrel led away and
came i'll winner for the first heat
The second was different and Mr.
Sears says he told his driver TO allow
the black to win the second heat but
we have only his word for this. 1t was
neck and neck race for the first half
when the sorrel went off its feet as the
bllck was leading This gave the
black good lead which was held to
the end.
The third was fast one beating the
time of the other two by severel
seconds and was made in l2L Side
by side they went around the
track until the stretch was reached
when the sorrel led off like rocket
and won tho fastest heat ever paced on
the Webster track.

challenge anything in the northwest

A Japanese newspaper quots a

says the American navy is practi,
cally composed of men who would in
the event of war refuse TO fight for
the stars and stripes. The Spanish
a few years ago, evidently relied
upon the same kind of information
and declared war upon this country
The result was certainly far from
gratifying to the Spaniards. The
regular army was in the fray to a
man, there was not a deserter or a
laggard in the navy, the militia OF
all the states were almost too eager
to go, there were SO many volrn-
teers for service there would have
been hardly arms sufficient in the
universe to have provided for all.
IL Japan should begin a fray with
this country she will find country
north, south, east and west cemented
together with but one idea and that
to wipe Japan off the map, and
when the clouds of battle have
cleared away there will be none of

The World of last week says that
Crawford got eighty per cent Of the
republican votes Of South Dakota.
The World is mistaken. Crawford
got all Of the republican votes Of
South Dakota after he was nomi-
mated. The discrepancy between
the votes cast at the primaries and
the votes cast at the polls can be
accounted for by the fact that prac-
tically all the democrats Of South
Dakota went into the republican
primaries and voted for the Craw.
ford delegates and thereby overcame
the will Of the republican party and
nominated him for governor. They
did this believing that republicans
would bolt such disreputable
political deal and elect a democratic
governor. In this they were mis-
taken. The democrats who voted
for Crawford at the primaries did
not vote for him at the election.
The republicans machine repub-
licans, if you will-are republicans
through and through, when a man
is nominated on their ticket, no
matter how his nomination is
secured, they vote for him at cleo.
tion time This is the difference
between machine republican and
Crawford republican. When a man
is nominated on the republican
ticket that the Crawfordites do not
approve of they Immediately unite
with sthe opposition unon another
nominee hoping to secure the defeat
of the republican candidate. There
were evidences of this in Day, Hyde,
Hughes, Minnehaha and many
other counties OF South Dakota last
fall. Further, in the contest between
Governor Elwood and Crawford at
the primaries little over year
ago, Crawford with his democratic
support did not have a majority
vote Of the persons voting in the
republican primaries. He was
beaten by majority Of large size Of
the popular vote, but he had his
minority vote so scattered in the
various close counties that he
secured by it majority Of the dele.
gates to the state convention. 1t
will be different next year when all
of the votes of the whole state are
counted and the man having the
largest popular vote is the winner
Crawford was a weak candidate last
year. He will not be in it next
year. He has his past record and
also the stone issue, the Grand Army
issue, the increase in the cost Of the
capitol bnilding, the bossing Of the
poorest legislature the state ever
had as well as the most expensive
session for the state, his removal of
trusted employees for no other reason
but to boost his political chances,
the whitewashing Of Gamble, his
deeming it beneath him to have to
have to eat with the common people
in public dining room, his snub-
bing of honest supporters in the last
campaign who refused to do his
bidding when he proved to be an
INSCRIPTIONS political boss instead
OF reformer and many other things
to answer for that will cut the
minority of year ago down so that
he can hope for nothing but igno-
minious defeat.
