A Child for Ornamentation. There are some women who are never so trresistible as when wearing matronly airs. Now, the woman in my sketch {s very ar- tistically attired, but there is nothing in her costume half so bewitchingly becoming as the child whose hand she is holding. She knows it, too, and ten to one it is a borrowed child put on, like ber infinitesimal hat, for the occasion. Does that seem too ridfculous for belief? You should know, then, that lots of cute young creatures borrow the little ones of their matronly friends whenever they go out for a con- stitutional. It gives them so much dignity, you know, and such chances for exquisite ing in ‘the parks,or before the gay win- ws which attract the little one’s notice. In my sketch the gown of the mater is of moss-green crepon, cut like a blouse and trimmed around the yoke and armholes with lace. The yoke and sleeves can be made either of moss-green cloth or silk or black velvet. If of cloth or silk, the belt may be of green silk also, and the ribbon ends may be green. If black velvet ts used for yoke and sleeves, let the belt and rib- bons be black also. The skirt is trimmed with narrow lace and a ribbon heading. The child {is dressed in what is known as an American frock, which should endear it to all patriotic mothers. The material is blue crepon, and the frock 1s suitable for Uttle girls from one to five years of age. ‘The yoke is smocked honeycomb, the sleeves long, half covering the hands. The bonnet is of cambric trimmed with em- broldery. Notice the sweet confidingness of the baby’s face and the tender clasp of the hands. Is it not alluring to a sympa- thetle beholder? Tt 1s not difficult to unter stand why the adult feels that the child is an excellent set-off to her own charms. —— ae A LITTLE FRENCH GAKDEN. Three Dear Old Ladies Who Suggest Miss Wilkins’ Characters. From Harper's Bazar. ‘This littie garden {s in St. Germain and it belongs to three old ladies, who might be described as French translations of some of Miss Mary Wilkins’ New England old maids. ‘The youngest of them fs sixty-three and the oldest seventy-six. They are simple souls, who live on small incomes, what to an outsider looks like very narrow and un- eventful lives, and whose sole pleasure seems to lie in their garden. I don't know whether you remember Miss Wilkins’ Harriett and Charlotte, and the delight they took in the little garden-patch behind their house. It had some straggling rows of currant bushes and gooseberries in and a few pumpkins and old apple trees. t seemed to be a fair specimen of New England gardens tn little country towns, as revealed by Miss Wilkins’ stories. They never yielded anything much more substan- tial, if I remember rightly, than pinks and asters, fruit and dapdelion greens. But to these old sisters this was “their private of great wealth of the universe,” “the littie taste nature had set apart for them alone out of all her bounty.” And the old French ladies had so exactly the same feeling that I could not help being reminded—as If one needed re- minding—that human nature was the same all over the world, and at the same time I gould not help thinking what a pity i was that gardens were not all a little more alike, especially a little more like those in France. ‘There was some reason for having faith in the one at St. Germain. It was so full of good things in a small space that it re- minded me of George Herbert's line: ‘A box where sweets compacted le. I stayed a week with the old ladies, whose niece had been my cousin's French teacher in America, and everything we ate either came out of the garden or seemed dn some mysterious way to be mixed up with it. It held, in season, strawberries, gooseberries, raspberries, cherries, currants, apples, pears, peaches, plums, grapes and apri- cots. There were also beans, potatoes, cab- bage, turnips, carrots, leeks and onions, and all the salads—lettuce, endive, chicory, romaine and barbe de Capucin. Nobody needs to be concerned about the people with money. It is their own fault if they do not manage to put some grace and beauty into thelr lives. But for those who must think of everything beautiful from its Pfactical standpoint ag well, it is only by learning some sort of domestic economy that combines the two that they can hope to have any of the finer graces of livin T used to look at the round rosy faces of the old ladies in this little, peaceful, shut-in ot, and contrast them with some of Miss 3 ched, meager types.

IN HIS PLEASANT OHIO HOM How He Made His Start When a Young Man. Special Correspondence of The Frening Star. Mansfield, July 27, 1898. ENATOR _SHER- man lives here at Mansfield. Ho came here as a boy from Lancaster and stud- fed law under his brother, Charles Sherman. He mar- ried here the daugh- ter of Judge Stew- art, who was one of the famous lawyers of Oblo years ago, and he made his first race for Congress from this district away back in the fifties. When he came to Mansfield he was, so old citizens tell me, a tall, gaunt young fellow with a big head, sparkling blue eyes and a rather reserved and aristocratic air. He had no money to speak of, but his brother had a good prac- tice, and I think he took John Into partner- ship. Their business was largely made up of collections for New York and other east- ern firms, and this grew rapidly after the future Senator's admission to the bar. The result was that John Sherman began to make money. He not only mae it, but be saved and invested it, and at the time of his marriage he had already a start. He began housekeeping In a comfortable home on what is now known as Park avenue West, about a quarter of a mile from the court houge, and he lived there until he bought his present estate, a iaalf mile fur- ther up the same street. The Mansileld elec. tric street cars now run past it, and what Was a farm on the outskirts of the town when Sherman bought it is now surround- ed by fine homes and has beyond it some of the best residences of the city. A great art ofthe estate has been divided up into wn lots and sold. Some of it has been given by Senator Sherman as a park to the city, and the remainder, about twenty acres, constitutes the iawn and gardens of Senator Sherman's home. It is a beautiful place, filled with old furest trees and beau- Uful shrubs. It les high up above the sur- rounding country, and the Senator has summer house just back of nis residence, where you get a view of miles of the rich, rolling Ohio country, The Senator's Home. Mr. Sherman's house is one of many rooms, all large, airy and, even in these hot July days, deliciously cool. There are many windows and these give magnificent views. Here at Mansfield he can wander about in the lightest attire. He wears an old straw hat, light pantaloons, a black sack coat. He rises early, a light breakfast, and then sits down js big Mbrary on the ground floor, in his slippers and loosely made clothes, and dictates answers to his mail. He gets a large number of letters dally, but he 1s used to dictation and he dis. ses of them rapidly. After he has fin. hed his correspondence he walks about the place, and after lunch usually goes down town, sometimes in his carriage and not infrequently in the cars. In the even- ing the Senator usually drives out with Mrs. Sherman and his daughter, Miss Mary, and altogether his home life at Mansfield is a delightful one. Senator Sherman In 1893. I found the Senator in his library when I called by appointment yesterday morning. He was answering his mail, and while he finished his dictation I spent th» time in studying him and his surroundings, His Wbrary is that of a man of culture. ‘There were, I judge, about 5,000 volumes in the Ubrary. I noted that these were tn all the modern languages, and I am told that the Senator reads the French and German as weil as the English. He is an of wide culture, and whole life has been de- voted to work and study. I doubt whether we have ever had a statesman, with the ex- ception, perhaps, of John Quincy Adams, who has sav: the intellectual pennies so conscientiously as John Sherman. He once told me that the making of books was so rapid and along such foolish lines that it hardly paid one to read a book before it was at least a year old, and that much reading of newspapers was injurious to one’s in- tellectual health. Senator Sherman’s read- ing of fiction is largely confined to the classics of our literature, and his favorite, he once told me, was Walter Scott. He keeps himself abreast of all the best mag- azine literature, and not be gr ene con- tributes an article to the North American Review or the Forum. Senator Sherman has been throughout his life as careful of his physical as his intellectual health and his condition today is that of a man tn his prime at seventy. His beard is now white and grizzly, but his eyes are bright and bis step 1s as firm as it was thirty years ago. He has never issipated and his only vice te in smoking, which is confined to three or four y. He never drinks anything to speak of and his table has always been a plain and simple one. He takes a limited amount of pxercise and is in short still physically and intellectually sound. His surround- ings here are such as tend to fpe life, and as he concluded his mail 1 ask him how he liked the Idea of going back to Washington in the dog days. A Hot Session, Senator Sherman said: “I don't like it, but it is a necessity and we have to go. You can see how inconvestew,'t,is. I have my family moved out he 7.’ am fixed for the summer. It 1s %¢ pare with the others of the Con, Sif we have our political work to do as wel! as other mat- ters to attend to. Now we are compelled to go to Washington. The city is hot during the months of August and Septem- ber. It is certainly worse then than at any other time during the summer. I can’t take my family with me, and I will have to keep _bachel hali and go out for my meal: “What will Congress do at this extra ses- ston? How long will it last?” “No one knows. It is a demccratic Con- ss. It may last four weeks and it may last four months. If the demccrats decide to confine {ts work to the repeal of the clause of the act of 1890 authorizing the purchase of 4,500,000 ounces of silver a month {t could finish its work In a few weeks, but {t will probably try to enact other financial legislation, and when we will get through no one can tell. The session is foing to be an exciting one, and there will much discussion and many speeches. At the special sessions with which T have been connected during the war and since then the work has been confined to. cer- tain subjects. I hope nothing outside of the financial question will be attempted at * ‘Should the Sherman clause be repealed, Senator, and what will be the effect of such action on the times and the country? “I think the purchasing clause of the act of 189 commonly known as the Sher- man act should be promptly repealed,” re- plied the Senator. But this will depend on the action of the democratic party and it will, I presume, give rise to long debate. The democrats are by no means in a happy condition. The great majority of them have committed themselves in times past to the free coinage of silver, which Presi- dent Cleveland 1s anxious to have them abandon. If ‘they do so the responsibility will rest upon them of determining whether silver should cease to be a standard of val- le and gold alone be the basis of our coin age and currency. Their present position of opposition to the purchase of silver while supporting the free coinage of silver, is a ridiculous and untenable one. It ‘isin short a piece of hypocrisy which would make a horse laugh.” “How about the action of India as to sil- ver, Senator.” “Phe financial policy of India tn this re- spect is not fully settled,” replied the Sen- ator. “It is by no means certain, but they will purchase the sa before, but at market prices instead of coin- ing ail that is offered as now. It would not surprise me if they should resort to the same expedient adopted by us in the act of 1600, and buy sliver at its market value maintain it at some fixed ratio with go! ‘The silver, question is a pressing question in India. ‘That country has vastly more sil- ver than we have. dostan alone con- tains 260,000,000 people and these have all deen doing business with silver.” ig Crops and Good Prospects. “Are you not apprehensive as to the times ‘and the condition of the country?” I asked. “I do not wish to be interviewed as to the business situation, but I will say that the country ought tobe in @ good condition. The are phenomenally large. I am getting more hay off my land here than ever before and Y expect to have at least twenty tons. The hay crop this year will be enormous, and hi ousands of tons will be exported. There is a sort of hay famine in Europe this year and hay in France bringing #0 a ion. The wheat Prices are lower than I bave ever known thi money in raising wheat fyages for farm labor, end if any profitable farming can the present wages. The wheat raised here will not more than pay the wages of the labor required to sow and harvest it.” ‘The Future of Wages. “Are not wages increasing in the United States right alon; “They have been,” replied Senator Sher- man, “but whether they can continue to do go 1 doubtful. Labor commands more to- day than it will produce in profit to the employer, and there is a disposition over the country to avoid its demands by the closing of factories and the stopping of various enterprises. When I wag a boy $10 @ month was good wages, and the average daily wages was 75 cents a day. Today you can hire no one under $1.50. Take those men out there who are raising the track of that street railroad,sald the Senator,” as he inted to the street, “they get $1.50 a day. t is little enough, but I doubt whether the business can afford to pay it,” “What will be the effect of the action of Congress as to silver on wages?” I asked. “That depends on what the action of Con- gress is,” feplied Senator Sherman. “If the so-called Sherman clause of the law of 1890 is repealed without further legislation bein enacted {t will put us on the gold basis, an Wages will be worth all they are now 3 as the purchasing power of the dollar is concerned. If free coinage of silver should be adopted wages would not advance nomi- nally, but their purchasing power would fall to @ cents In gold all over the coun- and the prices of all other articles . I think the labor situation is serious one, and wage earners are always among the first to be effected by hard times. re There is no the t Taoubt, fr tact, be’done at No More Panics, “Do you apprehend a panic?” “No, I do not," was the reply. “The en- actment of the resumption law did away with the danger of panics in this country. As to the times, however, I do not care to I don’t feel that { could better the by talking of them, and I as- y would not do anything to make them ‘worse, The United States is by no jeans a poor country, and our resources at ar about the world’s fair? Will it not have an influence to make times better? It bring @ great deal of money into cir- culation?” ji doubt that its effect will be appreciably felt,” replied Senator Sherman. ‘his is a big’ country, and we deal in millions. The amount brought out by the fair will be no more than a drop in the bucket. Silver Versus Other Metal “What-do you think of the appeal of the miners of Colorado as to free coinage?” “It is the strongest presentation that has yet been, made to the democratic party in vor of it,” replied Senator Sherman. “What they say is true. If we should re- fuse to purchase their silver they would have a limited market for It and the in- dustry would for a time be crippled or sus- pended. “The truth of the mater ts,” Senator Sherman went on, iver hi fallen in value, like most other metals, with the im- proved methods of production. We used to ave to pay $100 a ton for iron rails; now they can be produced for $20 a ton. Alum- {num used to be worth nearly as much as ‘old; by the present method can. pro- luce it for from fifty cents a dollar a pound. Nickel has fallea in value, and sil- ver can be mined cheaper and reduced at less expense that It could in the past. The Processes of smelting it with lead ore are such that the lead sometimes pays the cost of the reduction and silver has fallen in value, It will, if the Sherman act be re- pealed, continue to fall, and eventually will stand at its market value in the same way a and other non-precious metals “How about the cutting down of the pen- sion lst, Senator?” I asked. “The democrats are arousing much tn- dignation arene. the soldiers by their con- struction of the pension laws,” replied Senator Sherman, “and the re-examination and repeal of pensions that have been granted. I look for a great change in the Soldiers’ vote, Still you can’t tell as to the effect of such legislation. The pension list is very large. No country has ever been so liberal as this to its defenders, and $160,000,- 0 a year is an enormous load, You must also remember that it 1s almost a full gen- eration since the war. Nearly all the Voters under fifty were too young to have been engaged in the war or to have been impregnated with its spirit save as they have gotten it from thelr parents. These people are among those om the demo- crats are trying to gain by their wholesale repeal of pensions.” ‘The Republicans Will Carry the Country. “How ebout the election this fall?” “I think the country will undoubtedly go republican,” was the reply. “We will carry Ohio by a i bee and other states of the north likewise. ‘his is always the rule in elections following _ presidential elections. The party which fails usually carries the county the following year. It will be more so than ever this year, as the democrats are so divided egy g 2 themselves and the financial sitvation is blamed upon them."* . tariff? Will the demo- “How about crats reduce ft “They will attempt to do so. They have promised and they will try to carry out their promises.’ What, they will really do the Lord only knows.” ‘The conversation here drifted off to gen- eral subjects. At one point I asked the Senator something as to politics as a pro- fession for young men. He replied: “I don’t think young men ‘should engage in polities with the idea of making It their lite work. Our conditions are such that we do not have a profession of politics as England. There is no money in_ politics and the young man who engages in them with a view to a livelihood makes a great ake. The average life of the politician 1s short. Think of the changes which take place in every congre: he only two men now in the Senate who have spent ater part of their lives there are Senator Morrill and myself.” ‘The Rich and the Poor, At another point in the talk I spoke of the growing number of very rich men in this country and asked Senator Sherman it he did not think we might eventually ha’ a party of the rich and a party of the poor. He replied: “Our, laws against entall are such that great fortunes can not last in, the United tates. They are divided at the death of their owners among their children and are soon dissipated. Only the fewest fortunes outlast half a ‘century. The majority are divided long before that. Few banking businesses lve more than twenty years, and the law of fortune is changed. The eat fortunes of today, you will see if you fook at them, have ali been caused by new ventions and modern improvements in istying human wants. The railroad, the telegraph, the telephone and nearly every other oné of the ‘great wealth producers have been instituted during my lifetime, I can remember when we had only a few miles of railroad in the United States. When there was a short strip running from Baltimore on to Cumberland and when we had here in Ohio but one road running from Sandusky to Newark and Zanesville, All such Institutions, have produced great fortunes, and other things of the kind may do likewise. But I apprehend no party of the rich against the poor and belleve that human wants and the natural tendencies of the human race will equalize us more More and more as time goes on,” “How about the foreign trade? Will we ever, control the business of South Amer- a? “That is a question that only time can decide. The chances, it seems to me, are against us. If you will take a look at the lobe you will see that nearly all of the South ‘American continent lies east of New York, and that it is not much further from their leading ports to London than to New York, England competes with us as to the trade of Rio Janeiro on very nearly equal terms as regards distance, and it has many advantages over us in other respects. The Nicaraugua canal will make some difference. I have no doubt it will be eventually completed and that it will result In as vast an incre of trade as the Suez canal did when it was completed.” FRANK G. CARPENTER, —_——__+o- Emancipated at Last.

A Workingman’s Warning to Those of His Own Class, THE FEDERATIONS RESOLUTIONS Dissected and Shown to Be From a False Basis. THE PARDONED CRIMINALS. To the Edttor of The Evening Star: Of all the forms of midsummer madness that have come to plague our land in this year of grace, Altgeldism, the twin of an- archy, is the most Gireful. The calamity 4s not altogether that such @ noxious fun- gus as Altgeld has sprouted on the body | politic in the prairie state or that three wild beasts, as it were, have been turned out of their cages to prey upon society, but rather because a mendacious sentiment of sympathy has been evoked for the Hay- market murderers. Time has glossed over their awful crime, and thousands have per- mitted themselves to be persuaded that they were not really bad men, but were more sinned against than sinning. Their brother anarchists who are mercifully al- lowed to roam at large have persistently claimed that those fierce-passioned and reck- less men suffered martyrdom in the holy cause of labor. What a travesty on labor! As a result scores of labor organizations have been induced to pass resolutions .in- dorsing Altgeld. ‘The consequence is that the good name of labor is being brought under the contempt of the American people, and the workingmen are being unwittingly paraded before the public as sympathizers with a baneful doctrine that is the most dangerous foe of society or government. We have had a sample of it here in Washington. ‘The Federation of Labor passed resojutions indorsing Altgeld’s ac- tion, and their retary in an interview left’the impression that all labor organi- zations in this city had delegates in that body, and that It was, therefore, a tho- roughly representative affair. There is one legitimate labor organization of 1,500 mem- bers—the typographical union—that was not and is not represented in the federation, and even if it had been I am sure that the federation could not have expressed the printers’ sentiments by passing resolutions which condoned one of the blackest, most damnable crimes that was ever committed. The, federation’s resolutions presuppose the ‘innocence of Neebe, Schwab and Fielden, as well as the gentiemen who were bung. ‘They take a whack at the “prefti diced sudiciary” and the “perverted jury.” A reading of the resolutions will leave one under the impression—if he desires to be left—that the saplent minds of the federe- ton know more about this matter than the judge and jury of the Cook county court, the seven judges of the supreme court of the state of Illinois and the Supreme Court of the United States. The Indictment of the Anarchists. Now, there are some things in connection with this matter which the federation evi- dently does not know or does not want to know, In the first’ place {t is often as- serted by labor fakirs that the anarchists were Indicted for murder and convicted of anarchy. If one does not investigate the matter he might elso be led into denuncia- tion of the “judicial outrage.” But a read- ing of the Illinois statutes clearly proves that the law very properly makes no dis- tinction between murder and anarchy when preaching anarchy incites to murder. The charge against them was that they were “accessories before the fact.” The law of the state under which an indictment against them was framed ts as follows (chap. 38, div, 2, secs. 2 and 3): “Sec. An accessory is he who stands by abets or assists, or who, not be- present, aiding, abetting or assisting, hath advised, encouraged, aided or abetted the perpetration of the crime. He who thus aids, abets, assists, advises or en- courages shall be considered as principal and punished accordingly. “Sec. 3. Every such accessory, when a crime fs committed within or without the state by his ald or procurement in this state, may be indicted and convicted at the same time as the principal, or before, oF after his conviction, or whether the prin- cipal 1s convicted or amenable to justice or not, and punished as principal.” It was conceded by the supreme court of Tilinots that no one of the convicted de- fendants threw the bomb with his hands. The counts in the fndictment numbered sixty-nine. Some of the counts charge that the defendants, being present, aided, abetted and assisted in the throwing of the bow. Other counts charge that the de- fendants advised. encouraged, aided and abetted one Rudolph Snaubelt in the per- — of the crime. And so on in every anner that {t is possible to frame an in- dictment under those two sections. It was proven at the trial that the anarchists of Chicago were organized into groups. Schwab, Neebe and Lingg be: longed to the north side group Engel and Fischer to the northwest side group, and Spies, Parsons and Fielden to the American group. The members of these groups were known by numbers and not by names, Anarchistic Utterances. ‘They published two papers, the Alarm and Arbelter Zeltung. A few extracts from those papers will serve to show what mild- mannered and inoffensive men Parsons, Spies and Schwab were. The following ex- cerpts from the Arbelter Zeltung were writ- ten by Schwab and Sples: “Each workingman ought to have been armed long ago. ‘Daggers and revolvers are easily to be gotten, hand grenades are cheaply to be produced; explosives, too. can be obtained.” “Your passport to it (Eden) is that banner which calls to you in flaming letters the word ‘anarchy.’ “We wonder whether the workingmen will at last sup- ply themselves with weapons, dynamite and russic acid.” “Enough is said about the Importance of being armed. We are to go to work to supply ourselves as quickly as possible with those useful things. Dynamite bears several names here in America, among others it 1s known in the trade also as Hercules powder and giant powder. “There marched a strong company of well- armed comrades of the various groups, The nitro-glycerine pills were not missing.” The following choice selections from the Alarm were written by that “workingman,” who never worked, Pagsons: “Dynamite is the emancipator! In the hands of the enslaved it cries aloud, ‘justice or annihilation.’ But, best of all, the work- ingmen are not only learning its use, they are going to use it. They will use if, and effectually, until, personal ownership, prop- erty rights are destroyed, etc. Hail'to the social revolution! Hail to the deliverer, dynamite.” “Nothing but an uprising of the people and a bursting open of all stores and Storehouses to the free access of the pub- lle, and a free application of dynamite to every one who opposes, will relieve the world of this infernal nightmare of prop- erty. and Wages.” “Dynamite! of all the good stuff this is the stuff, Stuff several pounds of this sublime pipe, gas or water pipe, insert a cap with a fuse attached, plac this in the immediate neighborhood of a lot of rich loafers, who live by the sweat of other people's brows and light the fuse. A most cheerful and. gratifying result will follow.”* Fielden, who was Mberated by Altgeld, said in a’speech: “When I say organize, I mean for you to use force. It is no use for the workingmen to hope to gain anything by means of the ordinary weapons. Every one of you must Yearn the use of dynamite, for that is the power with which we hope to gain our right: ust before the bomb was thrown he made a speech from a wagon at the Hay- market in which he said: “There are pre- monitions of danger.

But he was an avowed anarchist, and he did in- elite to the bloody riot at the Haymarket, ‘The Evidence of Guilt Clear. The evidence as to the guilt of the eight men was clear and convincing, and none but a “perverted jury” in fact could have found them innocent. They manufactured the bombs; they arranged for and con- ducted the Haymarket meeting; a word signal was adopted and understood by all the anarchists, and when it should be ut- tered the bombs were to be thrown at the Policemen; they had for months previous, and up to the very moment of the riot ed the overthrow of government an‘ destruction of human life.

No true American will believe that those judges would wantonly suffer those men to be hanged or impris- oned unless they were guilty as indicted. And now « word as to anarchy. Preach- ing, teaching or practicing it is treason inst the state, which tt would subvert. it is a crime against society, because it ‘would wipe out all law, all government, all rights in| property. giving free reign to the passions of desperate men—making every man a Jaw unto himself. Conced- ing that society and government are, as Tad as the most gloomy pessimist paints them, in the name of heaven what would be the condition of our race in a reign of anarchy? There some truth, some virtue, some honesty in the world, but with no restraints of society or govern- ment to uphold and protect the good that there is, it would offer but a feeble resist- ance to the unrestrained avalanche of vice. In short, anarchy would obliterate ctvili- ation, and bring in its stead a reign of black ‘chaos. A study of the definitions of the word and the declarations of those who the doctrine will lead one to Bo conclusion. A Warning to Working Men. ‘The workingmen of the republic cannot afford to aid and abet a reign of lawless- ness and confusion. Their interest not to do so is the republic itself. For weal or for woe it is theirs, The workingmen, organized and unorganized, constitute the vast majority of the people, and the re- public is what they make it or permit it to be made. They can make it more simple, more democratic than any of the republics of ancient Greece, or more haughty, opulent and powerful in compari- gon with the rest of the world than was Rome in the zenith of her glory. But it will be neither if they do not rise in their might and annihilate the monster. The in- stitutions of this land, its laws and -the “minions of the law”—to quote trom the vulgar vernacular of thediscontented rogues who would have no law to restrain them— re not all that the workingmen would have them to be, they have a peaceable and sovereign remedy in their own hands— the ballot. With that weapon they can win grander victories for humanity and civilization than were ever won by force of arms on field of battle or by fire and blood in reigns of terror. ‘The workingmen, therefore, should not countenance anarchy in any way, not even by applauding a governor who consum- mates a political deal with anarchists. One cannot handle pitch without becoming de- filed. More than 9 per cent of the voters of merica are outside the ranks of organized bor. That large percentage of voters makes public opinion in this country. We jow that they have made a sentiment at will blast Altgeld and his friends for- ever. Some workingmen believe sincerely that no one should fly in the face of the ex- sentiment of the Federation of bor. To them I would say the sentiment of the American people is vaster and of far greater importance on a question of this nature. Compared with the sentiment of the American peonle on this question of liberating those murderers and enemies of our institutions the sentiment of the Fed- eration of Labor is just about as important as the fameus -declarations of the Three Tailors of Tooley street. ‘The anarchists were not workingmen. They were as radically opposed to legit!- mate work as soap and water are opposed to filth. They were labor fakirs—just as irresponsible ae scores of others who. toll not, but who eke out a It by traffick~ ing’ in the name of labcr. The principal difference is that the avowed anarchists are the more daring. All of them were aliens to our institutions. Seven by birth were alien to our soil, and two—Spies and Fielden—were alien to our citizenship. They were distinctly of the Johann Most type, and they were cheek by jowl with that eminent workingman, as letters of his read at the trial fully proved. There was noth- ing in common between them and Ameri- can workingmen, and the American who permits himself, through any labor organi- zai to be placed in an attitude of sym- pathizing with them, acquiesces in a slur on his intelligence, on his citizenship, on his love of country and devotion to our in- stitutions. that the workingmen will choose T belle the better part, and that they will array themselves on the side of law and order, peace and progress. J. L. KENNEDY. —_>—_—_ A Philanthropic Failure, From the New York Evening Post. ‘The experiment of providing canteens in factories, at which workmen can get good food at something less than cost price, ap- pears to have been a failure in South Ger- many. According to areport from the British Consul at Mannheim, the workmen absented themselves from the dining halls after the first sense of novelty had died away. He quotes figures to show that one factory with 190 hands now has only 300 diners; another, with 300 hands, only 50; a third, with 700 workmen, barely 70; while at a fourth, with 260 workmen, only thirty avail themselves of the privilege. Many contradictory reasons are giv for this state of affairs. One firm write: “The result confirms our first opinion concerning the social political legislation. We think that the workmen should be af- forded opportunity to help themselves and in their own fashion. Benefits conferred or enforced upon them, although accepted, are by no means fully appreciated. The workmen regard them with indifference, whereas all self effort in the way of im- rovement, as provision against illness and isability, and cheaper and better foo¢ and the like, produces more satisfaction and increases the sense of independence. In short we think It would be better to point out to the workman how he can improve his position than with ou! of money to force benefits upon him.’ e consul is inclined to ascribe the failure of the scheme to the interference with the cus- toms and sense of independence of the men. They had been in the habit of hav- ing ‘their dinners brought by their wives, children or friends, and the dinner hour brought them freedom and society. The canteen’ stem, which compelled them to eat in a body and under restraint, was a great contrast and a change not at all to their satisfaction. The superior and cheap- er fare was not sufficient compensation, and they preferred the society of thelr family at dinner, even though the dishes Were less luxurious. The supply of coffee by the factories, either gratis or at nom- inal price, to workmen during work in hot weather is an innovation that has met with decided favor. ——_+e+—_____ “American Shortcake.” From the New York Times, . “That's what they call it over in En- gland,” says a New York woman, “and it was a bit of home to come across the re- ceipt printed in one of their papers, pre- faced with the remark that ‘American shortcake is suftable for use with any kind of fruit, and is so delicious that it is a pity it is not better known in this country. “Then came the receipt to be equally for raspberry, peach, orange and pineapple shortcake.
