WHAT THEY SAY Extracts From Various Sources, Indi cating Democratic Opinion On Questions of the Day. The river an'd harbor "pork" bill as it now stands, appropriates $70,297,439 —more than the entire cost of the na tional government before the war. The sum would look more shipshape if 30 cents were added. —New York World (Dem.). Jefferson, the founder of the Demo cratic party, declared that the only tests to be applied to the fitness of a candidate for public office are: "Is lie honest? is he capable?" If liis quali fications will not boar these tests he is not a fit candidate. According to Jefferson a candidate of immoral character, a man, for example, who makes lying promises which he does not fulfill and never intended to keep, and one who when in office betrayed the trust reposed in him, is not fit to receive the suffrages of Democrats. — Exchange. Wo can understand how strict con structionists of moral ethics are bound in honor and candor to oppose Elkin. But they are equally bound to oppose Quay, and as a choice between the two would find Elkin the lesser evil. Those who believe in Quay ism and approve the methods of Quay, on the other hand, can't condemn Elkin for prac ticing Quayism under the direction of Quay, unless they are mortgaged to Quay, morally speaking. A man who pretends to stand for decent politics and supports Quay in preference to Elkin must be a knave or a fool —Har- risburg Star-Independent. General Jacob H. Smith has finally admitted that lie did issue the de moniac order to kill "everything over ten" in Samar, and in reply Ameri can sentiment will imperiously de mand his punishment without regard to any justification which he may claim. There can be no justification for an order of which a real decent savage would not be guilty. And Gen eral Smith has aggravated his offense, if that be possible, by perjuring him self in this connection, for he had pre viously denied under oath the guilt which ho now confesses. Nothing less than his discharge in disgrace from the army will satisfy the conscience of the country as atonement for the blot which this bloodthirsty officer has brought upon the American record in the East. —Inter-Ocean, Chicago. Probgjjly there never was a more treachorous, blood-thirsty enemy than the Anc&fl han Indian ever fought by the Unlrod States army. And yet I do net hesitate to declare that, had Major Waller drawn up 12 unarmed prisoners of the bloodthirsty Apache tribe and ordered them shot without trial, his lightest punishment under Generals | Grant, Sheridan, Crook, Miles, Custer or any of our old-line heroes would have been dismissal from the army in disgrace or imprisonment for life. My own judgment is that Major Waller would have been tried by a drum-head court martial and shot within 21 hours. That a man who has tried to justify the unwarranted killing of Filipinos by the fact that he had ruthlessly shot down the Chinese should be acquitted with honor, and let loose to continue ; the destruction of human life at his own sweet will, is a matter difficult to : realize. If campaigning in the Philip pine Islands has brought the United States army to the point where it jus- i tifies this class of warfare, the sooner the troops are brought home the bet ter.—Col. Henry L. Turner. Anything more inequitable and un just than our insistence that Ameri- ; cans shall have rights of domicile in China, while we deny to the Chinese i similar rights in this country, it would be difficult to conceive of. —Boston Herald (fed.). It is a trifle funny that Attorney General Elkin never discovered that j Quay's methods are brutal until now. : though they have been the same from the beginning of his reign as party boss. For example, the ripping up of ; a government by the people and throwing out of officials elected by the people for a stated term was brutal, , yet Elkin concurred in it. The rail roading of franchise grab legislation through both houses within a week was brutal, but Elkin regarded it with the highest favor. Truly it makes a • vast difference whose ox is gored.— Harrisburg Star (Ind.). PEOPLE OF THE DAY Coattnil Pallor. When the spellbinding begins in Pennsylvania this fall, says u Wash ington correspondent. Major Alexander McDowell will resume the ollice con ferred upon him two years ago by Sen ator Quay. It is that of coattail puller. The duties of that otliee in no way in terfere with those of liis other posi tion, which is that of clerk of the house of representatives. The other ollice came into existence at Norrls town in the fall of 1900, while Quay was making his memorable canvass fur re lection to the senate. The colo nel realized that the men in his party were talking too long, so he designated McDowell us the person to notify the MAJOR ALEXANDER M'DOWELIi. )ian on his foot that he had spun his yarn to a suitable length. It was agreed that the major should pull the coattail of the speaker when he had consumed twenty minutes. Quay was the first man to feel the tug that notified him that he must shut up, but the notice startled the "old man." lie? turned such a look of sur prise at the major that he became the central figure in the hall. Then it dawned upon the senator that the ma jor was only carrying out his duly ap pointed task. "All right, major; I'll quit," said the senator. "You know your part all right." Turning to the crowd, the sena tor said "Good night" and left the stage without even a word of apology for the abruptness of his conclusion. llow Secretary Root RcMts. Secretary Hoot is generally recog nized a$ one of the hardworking mem bers of the cabinet. Indeed, some of his friends have felt called upon to warn him that his exertions in the In terests of the war department often carry him past the line of prudence, but the secretary has been known, says the Washington Star, to rest liis brain when the fact is entirely unsus pected. A short time ago a delegation from one of the southern states called upon him to urge the establishment of a large camp in a certain part of their state. Almost immediately after they had left the department a newspaper man saw the secretary and asked: "Mr. Secretary, in what part of did they want the camp located?" Mr. Hoot looked just the tiniest bit embarrassed. Then he came out with it. "Honestly, I do not know," he said. They had talked it to him for nearly half an hour, and he had not heard It. Slie Made a Sensation. Miss Alice Morton, who has just cre ated a mild sensation by introducing into Chicago the new feminine fashion of carrying a cane, is the niece of Levi P. Morton, who was formerly vice president of the United States. This MISS ALICE MORTON. cane, or stick, to use the proper term, has a crooked head, around which a silver snake with emerald eyes gently twines itself. Miss Morton belongs to the smartest set in New York and is one of the most popular girls in Gotli um society. I'rnnkiNh RorcHford. It is said that Lord Charles Beres ford on first entering the house of commons, a very young man. in ISbS was inexpressibly addicted to playing pranks of ail kinds. One old member, who suffered from gout, used to retire to one of the back benches under the reporters' gallery behind the speaker's chair and, taking off his boots, sleep soundly until awakened by the ringing i of the bells which precedes a division. ; One night the old gentleman on being aroused from his slumbers by a divi sion hastily put 011 one hoot, but no trace of the other could he find. It had disappeared in some mysterious : fashion. The whips found him under j the bench, distractedly searching for i tiie booi, and by force bundled him into the lobby with one boot off and the other boot on. amid rounds of good natnivd laughter. Later on the miss- j ing boot was "accidentally" discovered j by Lord Charles ticresford under his 1 own special seat. I CHILD LABOR IN NEW YORK Orenidzatlou of V. Formed to Stamp Out the Evil. "The women of New York have been moved to deep indignation by the re cent revelations of the horrors of the child labor system in the south and in New Jersey, yet they remain ignorant of the fact that in this city are in stances quite as bad," said Robert Hunter, head worker of the University Settlement to a Tribune reporter. "These conditions have led the Neigh borhood Workers, an organization just formed of all the settlement workers in the city, to make child labor in New York the first object of its efforts. A committee has been appointed, of which I am chairman, to work for this object. "Cases of child labor going on in the tenement house district are constantly coming under the observation of set tlement workers. Ilore is a recent case: Two little girls, nine and eleven years of age, frail, stunted, ragged little crea tures, were found to be breadwinners. They spent the morning in school and at noon climbed three iiiglits of stairs to a dark back room, where a luncheon of bread and weak coffee awaited them prepared by their mother, a 'pants' finisher, who by rarely dropping her needle during her waking hours makes 011 an average 35 cents a day. After swallowing their food they would hur ry away to a basement shop, dingy und unventilated, where they made paper bags till 11 o'clock at night, pasting hour after hour without intermission. At that hour of the night they went home to another meal of bread and coffee, which, poor as it was, they of ten could not eat from sheer weariness, falling asleep with the crusts but half gnawed. "These two children made each from 75 cents to $1.25 a week. For such a piteously small sum they were, to use the words of the person who investi gated the case, 'being worked almost to death.' But this is a common fate among the tenement house dwellers. They have to work to the very edge of death in order to keep this side of it."— New York Tribune. TRADES UNIONS STRONG. Influence of OrKiinlzcd Labor In British House of Commons. The debate and division in the house of commons are interesting as impor tant to employers of labor as well as to trades unionists throughout the world. The motion which had been drawn up in consultation by the leading rep resentatives of trades unionism de clared that legislation was necessary to protect the rights of workingmen from the effects of recent judgments in the house of lords. The amendment, which was substan tially a direct negative, was supported by the home secretary and the attor ney general, but was only carried by a majority of twenty-nine. The trades unions are powerful bod ies. Tbey have a good deal of influ ence upon members of parliament even in this conservative house. The case for the trades unions is a strong one. They take their stand up on the act of 1575, passed by a conserv ative government to amend the liberal act of 1871. From 1875 to 1898 it was understood to be accepted by lawyers and judges and by the industrial community that picketing was legal if there was 110 in timidation. Nut tiil 3901 was it decided that a trade union could bo sued for acts of its subordinate officers. The state of the law is very obscure, and the attorney general did little to clear it up. Picketing, as Sir Robert Reid pointed out, may 110 longer take the form of persuading workmen, but must be re stricted to collecting information. The power in the hands of trades unions may be and has been abused, especial ly when it aims at restricting produc tion; but, 011 tlfe other band, the unions have a most beneficial influence in controlling unreasonable workmen, and the best employers, whatever their pol itics, are always glad to act in harmo ny with such men as Burt Bell, John Wilson and Ralph Young.—Cor. New York Ilerald. StundiiiK I'p For the Label. The Allied Printing Trades Council of Chicago lias sent out notices to the va rious unions asking their membership to patronize those theaters which carry the union printing label 011 their pro grammes. Until recently nil the thea ter programmes were furnished by a nonunion printing establishment in Monroe street, but paid a bonus to the playhouses for the privilege. Efforts were made to unionize this house, but failed, when the printing trades com mittee looked around for a concern which would turn out theater pro grammes with the union label and found Clyde W. Riley had the neces sary facilities. At the last meeting of the Printing Trades Council the com mittee made its report, and this con cern was indorsed. 'Twum Ever Thus. Mayor Schmitz, who was elected 011 an independent labor ticket by the workingmen of San Francisco, is now being severely criticised by the Build ing Trades Council for attempting to interfere in a difficulty between the Brotherhood of Carpenters and the oth er unions in the building trades.

Warning the rushers In newspaper composing rooms, the New England Printing Trades Journal says: "If those experts on typesetting machines would only visit Boston and view the physical wrecks of some of No. 13's former swifts, they would not be wo anxious to make a record." Don't Like Prison Life. Dennis Boyle, of Ilauover township, one of the three men arrested on the charge of illegal fishing in the Lehigh river on Memorial Day, was released from the Carbon county jail yesterday. Boyle's release was effected by Attorney Thomas F. McLaughlin, of Wilkesbarre, who investigated the case and learned that Mr. Boyle had taken no part in the fishing and was merely a looker-on. Mr. McLaughlin went to Freeland and placed the facts before Gamo Warden Hugh Malloy and the latter at once con sented to the release of Mr. Boyle. Morgan and Pretzman, of Wilkesbarre, the two men arrested with Boyle, are still in the jail at Mauch Chunk, they having been sentenced to pay SIOO line each and to throe mouths in jail each. Habeas corpus proceedings will bo Insti tuted and an attempt made to secure their release. The defendants, says the Wilkesbarre Record, are all honest, law abiding citi zens and their offense on Memorial Day was the result of a misunderstanding of the gamo laws. Under the new law it is legal to use a seine for the capture of fish not protected by the law, but the parties using the same must first secure permission from the proper authorities and give bond that all game fish netted will be returned to the stream. This the fishermen failed to do, as they had 110 knowledge that it was required. CASTOniA. Boars tho Tto Kind You Have Always Bought A Successful School.

A western Kansas story shows how to be personal without mentioning names. It was in n poker game at Colby. The sheriff of Logan county had been steadily losing to the treasurer of Ellis county. The treasurer of Ellis county had the misfortune to be possessed of but one eye, and he was a little clumsy in handling the cards. After a play in which the treasurer took a big pot from the sheriff the sheriff said, "Gen tlemen, I ain't a-namin' no names, but if some of you don't quit raisin' cards from the floor he'll get his other eye knocked out!"— Kansas City Jouruul.
