manner All of the old furniture in
the present barroom of the hotel will
be sold and the new furniture will be

dence rooms and will make possible
noteworthy enlargement of the office
of the hotel.

the presenting OF the pet1Ilon the
street assessment committee sent re-
port recommending that al bids for the
work be rejected. This report was
bitterly opposed by the aldermen who
were anxious to see the work COM
pleted with the opening of the new
building season but when it was put
to vote the report was accepted by
"a vote of eight to seven and the bids
are rejected. Aldermen Pirsch, Hig-
ley, O'Brien, Timme, Swift, Harbaugh,
Stemm and Willems voted for the re
port while Aldermen Marlatt, Simons,
Hegeman, George Wade, Werner, John
Wade and Saftig favored the rejection
of the report in order that the contract
might be let at once to the lowest bid
der and he have chance to get ma
terials on the ground during the
winter.
Alderman N. j. Werner had things
coming his way at the meeting and
he was not only elected poormaster,
but was also named to succeed Alder
man Disch of the Fifth ward as chair
man of the finance committee.
The council received formal notice
of injury from Nicholas Kleist who al
legged that he suffered the fracture of
his right leg by falling on an icy side
walk on Milwaukee avenue early in
December. The matter was referred
to the committee on judiciary. 1t was
announced to the council that the
mayor and the city attorney would lay
the question Of free telephones for the
city before the state railroad commits
sion on Wednesday afternoon and at
the same time the commission will be
asked to point out the way for the
council to secure better protection for
live wires in Kenosha.
The matter of better protection for
the Prairie avenue crossing of the
Chicago and Milwaukee Electric Rail
way Company was also taken up and
the mayor was directed to meet with
the officials of that company and Sc
cure some adequate protection for the
crossing.
The council took no action on the
petition of the paid fremen to take
care of sick members but the commit
tee will report on this matter at the
next meeting of the council. The
council placed its sanction on the ac-
tion of the committee in purchasing
1000 feet of new hose for the fire de.
partment it being understood that the
payment for the hose is not to be made
before the first of May.
The council is to take steps to Sc
cure the payment of paving rebates
to the residents Of Grand avenue be-
tween Ashland avenue and West Main
street and the city attorney sent an
opinion to the council in which he stat
ed that the amount Of the rebate to be
paid by the Kenosha Electric Railway
Company under the ordinance of the
company would be an amount equal
to about one third Of the first cost of
the paving of seven feet Of the road
way. The amount will not be large,
but the property owners are entitled to
this amount and the council will see
that it is paid by the company.
The meeting of the council set new
record as all Of the business was con-
cluded before half past ten O'Clock
Notwithstanding the fact that it was a
half hour late when the mayor called
the meeting to order.

 Clifton Era: A new strike was made on the property of the Stevens Copper Company last week when Charley Stevens uncovered a promising vein of ore, carrying native silver and copper and gold. The streak of ore carrying the native silver does not appear to be very large but indications are that it will prove up to be valuable discovery with more development work. The strike was made Tn the face of the 1500-foot tunnel, in. which no development work has been done for several years, upon the advice of several mining en- gineers who condemned the tunnel work. Upon the advice of other eminent engineers recently Charley Stevens was encouraged to con tinue the tunnel and after going less than five feet made the new discovery which promises to be the best thing that has happened for this property in a number of years.

EVEN COURTS CAN LEARN.
Recognition of the Humane Idea In
"Freedom" of Contract.

Freedom" Of Contract.
"What we know as men we cannot
profess to be ignorant Of as judges"
When the supreme court of Illinois
acted on that idea it made long jump
from the musty past to the up to date
present. In this particular case the
court was acting in the matter of the
law liseiting to ten hours the working
day OF women in factories. BY it's
action it overruled the decision of the
suprl rle court Of the same state of fif-
teen sears ago. BY the old idea citi-
zens, whether men or women, were to
be free to contract for a days work
of any length whatever. By the new
idea women are. to be protected from
such freedom since with their health
rests .le future of the race.
AS me Oregon restriction law on the
same subject has been held constitu
tionGl by the United States supreme
court, The factory owners in the other
states may as well bow to the inevita-
BILE when their legislatures pass SINH
lar laws. And that principle that
what judges know as men they ought
also to know as judges might be ex-
tended to other matters affecting la
Dor. Every man in the United States,
whether judge or layman, knows that
a mans purchasing power is his own
and that he cannot be deprived of it
by any rightful decree Every man in
the United States knows that the right
of fro
tial to {, free country; no man, wheth-
er lay1nan CT judge, is good enough or
wise enough to forbid another man
to speak his thought. Just as the H.
linois supreme court has reversed it.
self i'll the case referred to above
other courts may be reversed which
have assumed to say that free speech
shall not be free speech and that a
free press shall be muzzled.-Samuel

TWAIN ON uNIoNIsM.
Saw VIII Clear Vision 1t Was the
Workers Only Hope

William Dean Howells, Socialist and
novelist in a series of articles in Har-
per'S Magazine on Mark Twain, of
whom lie was an intimate friend, tells
of Ma1. Twain's attitude to working
class politics in the following descrip-
ton:
His mind and soul were with those
who Go the hard work of the world,
in fear Of those who give them Il
chance for their livelihood and under
pay them all they can. He never went
so far IN socialism as 1 have gone, if
he went that way at all, but he was
fascinate with Looking Backward"
and Lad Bellamy to visit him, and
from the first he had luminous vision
of organized labor as the only present
help for workingmen.
He would show that side with such
clearness and such force that you
could not say anything in hopeful con-
tralction. He saw with that relentless
insight Of his that in the unions was
the woringman's only present hope of
standing up like a man against money
and the power Of it. There was Il
time when l was afraid that his eyes
were Il little holden from the truth,
but in the very last talk I had with
him ] found 1 was wrong and that the
great humOrist was as great a humor-
ist as ever. I wish that all the work
folk could know this and could know
him their friend in life as he was in
lfterat-re, as he was in such glori-
GUS gospel of equality as the Connecti-
cut Yankee at the court of King Ar
thur.

She Didn't Mind.

A girl with a Gibson face and
green feather in her hat boarded
Chestnut street car the other after
noon. She carried something in a pa
per sack under her arm. The car was
crowded with passengers, and no one
offered to rise.
The girl looked worried. but set her
lips and grabbed at strap. Just then
the Gar lurched. the girl made a wild
effort to keep on her feet and threw
her bundle straight in a large mans
lap. There was a peculiar grinding
sound in the sack. and then something
seeped out that looked suspiciously
like tie yellow Of an egg.
what in the thunder is this stuff?'
he ST.. rted to say. when she sweetly
remarked as she clung to the strap:
'Oh. never mind making apologies.
I can get another dozen of eggs at our
grocery"
The conductor removed the sack of
eggs. and the man looked so savage
that no one dared laugh.-Louisville

peal to the public mind is the promise
that it will work this benefit. 1 am

so 1 realize that there is an absolute
need Of some social reform, especially
here IL The United States The only
way we can get reform is by legisla-
ton, to be brought about by the work
ingmen. The strongest weapon the
laboring classes have and the one that
can do them the most good is the

THE WORKERS DUTY

The laborer has wrongs to right, has
obstacle, to remove. He has not only;
right but a duty to seek to correct thes
wrongs and remove these obstacles, ano
he has a right-nay, duty to comb'n
with his fellows in his work. l lock up
on the organization of laborers as the
morning star of the new day, the latest
and finest product of social evolution.
Let them find each other out, discuss
their common interests, discover theil
mutualobligations, study together tn
perplexing riddle of life. Let them
combine Help them combine. Let
those who perhaps through superior
merit of their own have some advantage
ground guide them in their own combi-

THE RIGHT SPIRIT.

The union men of Sangamon county,

located, do things. At the last election
tdey elected representive in the legis-
lature, the couty clerk and the clerk of
the probate court. Two were on the
republican ticket and one on the hemc-
cratic ticket. The union men fo get
politics and went out to elect men of
their own class. They had four candi-
dates, but lost out on one by narrow
margin. The unionists of Sangamon
have set fine example.

VALUE OF ORGANIZATION.

If every union man should
constitute himself an organizer
and should give even one even
ing of each week to organiza-
ton, if he should single out one
nonunion neighbor or acquaint-
ance and persist in an effort to
organize that man, what short
tiEle it would take to unionize
all the workers Of our country!
Ard if all were organized how
much less difficult it would be
to secure higher wages, shorter
hours and better conditions Of
life and labor!-John Mitchell.

Capital DisIil<es Labor Organizations
Because OF the Power They Weld
Against Injustice-True Meaning Of
Unionism.
We have listened to the old reason
ing that the worlzingman is able tc
make as good contract individually
as labor union can. 1 don't believe
the Individual switchman or rail
road man who is earning $65 a month
would get much satisfaction if he pro-
tested against a cut in his wages.
What chance has he to see the su-
perintendent and insist that he cannot
support his family Oh a smaller wage?
But if he is a member Of an associa-
ton that includes thousands of men in
every branch of railroading his griev-
ance is sure to reach the ear of the
president.
Trade unions endeavor to secure
monopoly of labor, they say. Well,
suppose they do. If they could create
monopoly they could starve the
world.
But it seems to me that the trade
unicn is net the only body that tries to
establish monopoly. Capital does it.
Capitalists do not like unions be-
cause they interfere with business
they say. Yes. they do interfere With
business. They compel capital to pay
living wages. They enforce the de
mand for the protection of life in the
factories. They keep women and chill
dren from working fifteen and sixteen
hours in an insanitary building. This
is a pretty serious thing when state
has to pass a law to prevent man
sending his twelve-year-old girl into a
factory. You don't have to compel a
tiger to protect it's offspring.
Capital says unions interfere with
business. A brick factory does not
make business any more than body
of workingmen gathered outside the
factory makes business. There is 40
business until the owner Of the fac
tory and the workmen meet. agree
upon terms and the men enter the fac
tory and go to work. The employer
puts his money into business and the
workingman his life. The one has as
much right as the other to regulate
that business.
Men don't go into businesses be-
cause they like them. They are ex-
pensive. 1t costs money to support a
union. Men don't advocate a closed
shop because they like it; but, my
friends, it is because trade unions and
the closed shop are the only means
the workingman has to protect his life
and family.
Their faults are human. The weak
nesses Of trade unions are the weak
nesses of every association of men
They cannot be helped.
Some day there will come the broth
erhood Of man. Some day Industrial
warfare as well as warfare between
nations will be seen to be ridiculous
and waste Of life and money. Some
day men will work together in grand
cooperative scheme But until that
day the trade union must stand as the
only safeguard of the workingnaan
the only instrument by which he car
maintain himself and his family
