    BAMBOOZLING LABOR.
THE TOOLS OF PLUTOCRACY JUG
GLING WITH WORKINGMEN.
Labor Reformers Must Not Allow the
Great Movement to Be Side Tracked.
"Fellow Workinuu" Carnegie—Little to
liopo for from CongreKH.
The opinions I expressed a few weeks
ago on the question of immigration
stirred up some of my friends, and I
have received letters from several of
them expressing surprise that I am not
in B}Tnpathy with the spasm which is
convulsing the county for the exclusion
of foreigners from our shores. While I
respect the opinions of those who differ
with me and value the friendship which
dictates a kindly protest against my
views, I ara of the same opinion still re
garding the subject which has become
so prominent within a few months. I
have always favored restrictions which i
would kocp out criminals and laborers
who come to us under contract or against
their free will, but I cannot support or
sympathize with the demand that all
foreigners who want to come to America
under the impression that they will bet
ter their condition shall be excluded. I
have a great reverence for the traditions
of our country and honor the reformers
who are striving to bring us back to the
principles which made us first among
the nations of the earth.
You may call that sentiment. Then I I
protest against the present agitation and
the lines upon which it is being worked
on clearly practical grounds. The poli
ticians and plutocratic editors who are
booming the immigration question loudly
proclaim that their zeal is inspired by
a desire to protect the American work
ingman and improve his condition.
Their claim is buncombe. Not one of
them would support any measure which
did not advance the interests of plutoc
racy, and plutocracy wants the prices
paid for labor to sink to tho lowest pos
sible level. But many labor men who
should know better are caught with the
bait, and other and vital matters are
neglected, set aside and forgotton while
this Jack-o'-lantern is chased. Once get
the great labor movement of this coun
try to steer its craft into the whirlpool of
anti-immigration, and it will go to
pieces on the rocks of race prejudice,
and the reforms which it has been striv
ing for so long will be set back fifty years,
if they are not fnade forever impossible.
It is my firm conviction that the poli
ticians who are engineering tho present
agitation against "European labor" have
not tho intention of attempting to do
more than delude the workingmen of the
country into tho beliof that their welfare
is of interest to the lawmaking powers.
The results of tho late election and the
relationship existing between the "prod
ucts of European pauper labor" and the
"pauper laborer" himself make the anti
immigration question a good one for the
juggling politician to play with at this
time. The cholera scare furnishes an
excellent pretext for those who have not
the courago to come out boldly and de
clare themselves as hostile to the tradi
tions of our country and aro not willing
to face at the polls tho voters of foreign
birth and foreign born parents.
Of course the cholera must bo kept
out by all means that can be employed,
and labor should insist upon the en
forcement of tho laws prohibiting for
eign labor under contract coming here;
but men of position and influence in tho
labor movement aro making a Berious
mistake in admitting that, as a cause of
the unfair conditions which prevail in
tho labor world, immigration is entitled
to any kind of consideration. Looked
at from any standpoint, I fail to see
how any permanent good can como to
the worlringmen of this country by ex
cluding foreigners so long as plutocracy
is absolute master of all the tools of
production and distribution. Ido see,
however, a possibility of the reform
movement being humbugged and bun
koed by the present agitation.
Andrew Carnegie is a smooth gentle
man. Ho can write a letter worthy of a
New York green goods man. In answer
to a communication from the Pittsburg
Art society, notifying him of the
friendly spirit in which the society
viewed his gift of a public library to tho
city of Pittsburg, Mr. Carnegie said:
I hope, therefore, that your action may bring
my follow workmen (for I havo a right to uso
this title) to see that fair play requires thom to
separate the donor and ids many faults from
libraries and music halls and art gallery, which
have none. If they will only do this, 1 gladly
risk their some day expunging the votes of
censure passed upon me personally.
It will bo remembered that tho labor
organizations of Pittsburg adopted reso
lutions protesting against the accept
ance of tho library proffered by Mr.
Carnegie. If the expunging tho gentle
man is willing to risk ever takes place,
it will bo when Homestead is forgotten.
It is said that an earnest effort will bo
modo to secure from congress as soon as
possible legislation looking to tho pro
tection of railway employees. For years
this subject has been agitated in con
gress and out, and nothing hus been dono.
The old death dealing appliances havo
been continued in use, and thousands of
men have either lost their lives or been
made cripples within the past ten years
because the lawmakers have been tho
heartless tools of railroad corporations.
Congressman O'Neill, of Missouri, intro
duced a bill last winter requiring the
railroads to adopt driving wheel brakes
on all engines after 1895 and automatic
couplers of a uniform type, such as do
not necessitate brakemen going between
the cars, by 1898, and ordering other
changes that would prevent or reduce
the number of accidents to railway em
ployees. Tho railroad companies oppose
all such legislation because of the ex
pense such a change would entail, and
our lawmakers have agreed with the
magnates that dollars aro of more value
than lives and limbs.

GOVERNMENTAL CONTROL.
Petitions Circulated by Nationalists Con
cerning Telegraph and Telephone Lines.
A short time ago the Nationalists of
Massachusetts began in earnest the agi
tation of government ownership of tele
graphs and telephones. The movement
is rapidly spreading all over the coun
try, especially where there are clubs of
Nationalists to take hold of the matter
promptly. The method is to petition the
state legislatures to instruct and request
United States senators and members of
the house of representatives, respective
ly, to secure the adoption of government
telegraph and telephone service by prop
er congressional legislation. The form
of petition used in Massachusetts is as
follows:
To tho Honorable Senate and House of Repre
sentatives in General Court Assembled:
Your petitioners, the undersigned citizens
of Massachusetts, respectfully represent that
the telegraph service of this country has bo
come a burdensome monopoly In the hands of
a company extorting in charges more than
twice as much as the people of other countries,
favored with government lines, are obliged to
pay—a company that uses to the utmost its
great capital to eradicate all fair competition,
and exerts a baneful control over the press,
upon which the citizens are forced to rely for
information.
Wo also represent that on the oxpiring of
the telephonlo patents now Boon to ocour a
similar monopoly In that method of transmit
tiug intelligence Is likely to established, as
grievous to the people as that of the telegraph.
We therefore respectfully petition your hon
orable bodies to instruct tho eonators and re
quest the representatives of this common
wealth in congress to use ull proper means to
secure a government telegraph and telephone
service.
It is claimed by the projectors of this
movement that a petition containing
i 600,000 names can be presented to con
gress in December, 1893. There is no
reason why there should not be four or
five times that many signers, for it is
pretty generally agreed by those who
have watched the tendency of the peo
ple upon this subject that more than
half of the voters in the United States
today favor government or postal teleg
raphy.
As Mr. Mason A. Green, editor of Tho
New Nation, says: "There is an ever in
creasing feeling that the telegraph serv
ice has become such a monopoly that it
is no longer operated in the interests of
the people, and as it properly is an ad
junct of the postoffice system it should
be operated by and for the people
through their government.
"Its present method of operation al
lows the establishment of the Associ
ated Press and United Press, by which,
on account of the necessary dependence
of tho press upon telegraph service for
news, telegraph monopoly is able to dis
tort or suppress news of the day, and
by refusal of its service to destrey or
disable journals opposed to its interests
or to those of kindred monopolies.
"I think that the press of this country
would be a great deal better off if the
telegraph system were operated by the
government. This exclusive control of
the avenues of information by which
public opinion is formed and directed
has been and is being exercised in a
manner imperiling the existence of a
free press, without which popular gov
ernment is impossible."
Many who are asked to sign this peti
tion will want to know why tho rail
roads are not included, but it is just as
well to make haste slowly. Telegraphs
and telephones will do to try the sincer
ity of the party which has secured such
a solid seat in the governmental saddle
by protesting its friendship for the peo
ple and declaring its desire to conform
to the wishes of the great majority.
Chicago's Labor Temple.
Organized labor in Chicago, as repre
sented by the Trade and Labor assem
bly and the Building Trades counoil, is
taking steps for the erection of a largo
building to be known as a labor temple.
The idea is to have a number of halls
and assembly rooms in the building,
which will he leased to unions for meet
ing places. There will also be estab
lished a free employment bureau, with
quarters in the temple, and there will
be office rooms for the labor organiza
tions requiring headquarters. Shares
in the bnilding association are placed at
five dollars each, and they will be sold
only to trades unionists and labor or
ganizations.
Just at present there is a little hitch
about a certain plot of ground to whioh
the Trade assembly lays claim. Ten
years ago the city council of Chicago
gave to organized labor the south half of
Dearborn park, a piece of land about
half the size of an ordinary city block,
fronting on Wabash avenno and bounded
north and south by Randolph and Wash
ington streets respectively. Arrange
ments were begun at that time for tho
erection of a labor temple, but adjoining
property holders filed an injunction,
claiming that the government and not
tho city owned tho property, and work
■ on the excavations had to bo Btopped.
The government and city consented to
the erection of a library building on the
plot, and tho supreme oourt has decided
i that the land is tho property of the city.
At this writing there is Information to
the effect that the Trade assembly will
apply for an injunction restraining the
library peoplo from occupying ground
which belongs to the labor organizations.
The case is one of interest.
Farmers and Strikers.
The farmeTu of Kansas rallied to the
(npport of the striking Rock Island
operators by refusing to ship their cattle
And grain over the road until the com
pany did the square thing by its teleg
raphers. A dispatch from Horton,
Kan., says, "Those who are prominent
in the movement are leaders of the
Populist party." Here is food for the
thought of the meclugiic, miner and
laborer. The farmeis have at last
learned the lesson of "identical in
terests."
Rev. Thomas Dixon, New York's sen
sational preacher, says: "The time haa
come to put a stop to these idiotic rloti
in the industrial world. Let us have a
supreme court of arbitration and a law
making the immediate settlement .of
such disputes compulsory."
David B. Hill In the Senate.
Mr. Hill's influence in the senate is
very much greater than is generally be
lieved. though it may not bo strong
enough for a contention with the admin
istration. Iji a measure Hill has taken
the place of Gorman in the senate. All
the friends that Gorman lost in Chicago
Hill gained, and this gives him sufficient
power in the senate to make himself
quite disagreeable to the administration
if ho desires to do so. The assumption,
however, that he is going to put on a
coat of war paint and carry a bowie
knife in each boot and a brace of six
shooters in view does not give sufficient
credit to his discretion and skill as a
political wirepuller.
Notwithstanding the bitterness of feel
ing which is provoked by the New York
senatorial fight, it may be depended upon
that Mr. Hill will not appear imthe sen
ate in the attitude of an open opponent
of the administration. There is good
reason for believing that Mr. Hill will
not only decline to pose as the leader of
an opposition, but in spite of all the af
fronts he feels have been put upon him
he will support the administration in
most matters. Where trouble is looked
for by those who are skimming over the
surface is with relation to the comfirma
tions. There is a notion of some peoplo
that Hill will make a fight at every op
portunity. They are probably mistaken.
Men who are pretty familiar with the
situation and know Hill very well be
lieve that ho will follow no such line of
policy, but will approve everything and
every person passing his test of Democ
racy.
It is believed the only thing Hill has
in view is to stand on guard to prevent
j the preferment of Mugwumps. His test
of party qualifications will not be per
sonal support of himself. But he hates
a Mugwump.—Washington Star.
A Supposed Cholera Victim Alive.
In the beginning of September a doc
tor went from a small German town to
I Hamburg to assist among the cholera
i patients. Five days after arriving there
I news reached his home that in following
j his profession ho had fallen a victim to
I the deadly disease. His previous thrift
less career was immediately forgotten,
he was mourned as a martyr and all
sorts of laudatory compositions were
dedicated to his memory. A lady to
whom ho had been betrothed was among
the mourners.
A sensation has been caused in town
now by the news that the young man's
mother has received a letter from Amer
ica in which the son who was supposed
to be dead informs her that he is very
well, and explains that while at the hos
pital in Hamburg ho had placed his card
in the pocket of a man who had died of
cholera, and who, resembling him in I
features, was buried as the doctor.—
London News.
Married at the Head of a Collin.
Mourners who gathered at a funeral
in Elmhurst saw a remarkable sight. In
the coffin in the parlor lay tho body of
Mrs. Lucy D. Clay. Friends and rela
tives were seated about. Tho Rev. T. J.
Collins, of Scranton, was there to preach
| the funeral sermon. Just before the
time set for the services to begin A. B.
Clay, a son of tho dead woman, walked
into the room leading Miss Lillian Sny
der. These two were lovers, and they
there requested the Rev. Collins to mar
ry them. When young Clay produced
the required certificate the preacher con
sented to perform the ceremony. The
bride and groom took their places near
the head of the coffin and, with the
mourners for witnesßos, they were pro
nounced husband and wife. Then the
funeral services went on.—Cor. Phil
adelphia Record.
Sarah Bernhardt In Disturbed.
Sarah Bernhardt is in a great state of
mind just at present. Her reckless son,
Maurice, has squandered all of his own
fortuno and not a little of hers at
baccarat, and as his independent little
wife refuses to support him any longer
! they have quarrelod and separated.
Then business has not been exactly suc-
I cessful of late with the actress. Several
of her ventures have not been rich in
j results. Finally they have burlesqued
her Cleopatra, and represent the divine
as mildly dancing and singing "Ta-ra-ra
Boom-de-ay," and Sarah doesn't like it a
bit. One can fancy the choice but un
translatable variety of French profanity
with which the great tragedienne dis
cusses this succession of misfortunes.—
Exchange.
About tho Spoiling of Words.
The Springfield Republican has adopted
the disagreeable trick of spelling certain
familiar words ending in "gue" without
their full complement of lotters. In re
viewing a new book u few days ago it
says, for instance, "Tho author excels in
bright and amusing dialog," etc. It al
ways fatigs us to 6ee such vulgar liber
ties taken with our native tong, and we
think it as much of a crime for a liter
ary man to cut off the end of a word as
for a rog to cut off the end of a pig's
tail, for instance. Form is to all printed
language what brog is to the speech of
the Irishman, and a plag, we say, be on
the man who would deprive either of its
natural chaims.—Charleston News and
Courier.
Dentistry and Diplomacy.
We notice that the United States lega
tion is doing duty as a dentist's office
and consul general's court. This no
doubt is another good stroke of business
which kills two birds with one stone.
But what if the Wliito House were let
out in part to a publican? The Ameri
can legation is national property and
ought not to be converted into drug
1 stores or dentists' offices. A sense of tho
j fitness of things or the dignity of tho flag
is evidently unknown at tho American
legation.—Siam Free Press.
Had Sympathy for tho Court.
Charles Townes, who was found guilty
of grand larceny in tho county court at
Canadaigua, is a rather original chap.
When ho was called u}* for sentence bo
made an eloquent plea for mercy and
sympathized with the court "for having
to sentonce an innocent man."—Utica

A painful accident occurred at No. 2
breaker, Oakdale, on Thursday after
noon to Frank Ray, a young son of
William Ray. lie was working in a pock

began drawing the coal to the railroad
cars. Before he could escape he was
caught in the coal and drawn towards
the draw-hole. Another young lad saw
him going down and immediately ran to
the loader and notlied him to stop draw
ing. When they returned to the pocket
Ray wus completely covered by the
coal, and after drawing the pocket near

a steam-pipe which is used to keep the
pocket from freezing. He was suffering

Etching by the Queen.
A romantic story is being circulated
anent the discovery by a Dublin art
dealer of a collection of etchings execut
ed by the queen. The dealer in question
purchased at the sale of books and pic
tures of the late Earl of Charlemont two
old portfolios. They were knocked down
for a few shillings as containing only
unfinished sketches of no value and cut
tings from illustrated papers. When the
dealer emptied the contents of one of the
portfolios carelessly on the floor in his
room he came upon something hard at
the bottom, which turned out to be a ,
packet of etchings by the queen. They
bore, in writing which has been recog
nized as at any rate very like the writ
ing of her majesty, the inscription:
"Drawn by Albert—etched by Victoria.
Presented to Lady Charlemont by Vic
toria."
Tho etchings were no doubt given to
the Countess of Charlemont as a memento
of the queen's visit to Ireland. There are
a number of the etchings, and they are
mostly done on small sheets of paper.
If the find turn out to be as represented,
it will have a double value JUS represent
ing the combined art work of the
and the prince consort. The difficulty
will be to establish the authenticity of the
etchings. This can only be done pr per
ly by submitting them to her liiavsty.
If she recognizes them as her work, the
owner will find himself in the poss -ssion
of a small fortune of unturned incre
ment.—London Cor. Birmingham Ga
