Now that "Uncle Joe" Cannon is so! much in evidence as a leading candi date for the speakership they are dig ging up stories about the Danville statesman. Among others is that of how he arose in his place in congress on one occasion to make an extended speech. He began in this rather sen tentious fashion: "Mr. Speaker, I have lived long enough " "Hear, hear," yelled a wicked Democrat, and such a storm of laughter broke out that Mr. Cannon was forced to take his seat. Strike on a Church. The Grace Presbyterian church, the fashionable church, of Oswego, N. Y., has been placed on the unfair list of the labor organizations of that city. Two years ago. when the Interior of the edifice needed redecorating, the trustees felt that they wanted some thing beyond the skill of the local dec orators, so they let the contract to a contractor of an adjoining city. They did the same last spring, when the church needed a new curbing and side walk. But when a leak developed in the roof recently the local dealers in metal roofing were applied to, but they refused to take the contract because the church has been placed on the unfair list. Fifty Dollars to Sit Down. Carmel. Ind., Dec. 15th. Mr. Jo seph L. Duffy relates an experience that has aroused considerable Inter est in this locality. It is best given In his own words: "When I was working In the fields." says Mr. Duffy, "I would be ready to quit, but I could not get to the house I was so weak. It was worth fifty dollars to get to sit down. "I had no strength and a person without strength is not much use. "But bless the Lord I took four boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills and they gave me health, strength and appe tite. T might say I am cured, but I will keep on taking Dodd's Kidney Pill. Tes. I'll get them if it takes the last thing on the farm." Dodd's Kidney Pills have effected qutte a number of other cures here and it seems safe to say they are an effective and permanent cure for .all diseases arising from the Kidneys.

LABOR JOUftNAL ADVOCATES RE MOVAL OF TARIFF. Assertion Mado That the Present Trust nJ lowers' Organization Are Working Together to Fleece the Public Evils of Protection Shown. Owfrg to a flftht to a finish between the two factious of tSe Knights of Labor some important disclosures A3 to the evils of protection on window glass are being made. The worst that the "wicked Democrats" have ever charged against the high protection on window glass is cow repeated edi torially in the K. of L. Journal Just out. Window glass that sold for $1.10 to $1.40 per box. la July. 1895, sold for $.80, in April. 1901. The trust, tak ing advantage of the tariff duties aver aging about 100 per cent and of the strike In Belgium which raised the priee of foreign glass, put up prices bere, since 1897. to exorbitant figures. 1 he window glass blowers have one of the strongest labor organizations in this country. The fact that every man who blows glass must belong to it. with severe apprenticeship rules and the extreme cost of initiation for foreign blowers, keep the number of blowers much below the number re quired to man the furnaces. High prices ar.d exorbitant profits and the impossibility of manufac turing glass without blowers (blowing i:achines are just being introduced) lve enabled the-, blowers to control the situation somewhat. As a result taey have been building co-operative 01 independent olants, until nearly one-third of our window glass is now made by "independents." These "inde pendents" have all along been in alli ance with the trust in fixing prices and in shutting down factories to re strict production. In fact the blowers have often .asked the trust to put prices still higher. The compact alli ance between the two ends of the trust is evident from the fact that the blowers' organization (L. A. 300) owns stock in the trust and its head, Simon Burns, is a director of the trust the American Window Glass Company. In the split which occurred at the annual meeting of the K. of L. in November one faction, led by L. A. 300, elected Simon Burns Grand Mas ter Workman of the K. of L. and the other faction elected John W. Hays to this position. Mr. Hays has been the secretary-treasurer and the acting head of the K. of L., as well as the editor of their journal. It is Mr. Hays, therefore, woo has prepared a bill to put window glass on the free list, which he prints in the Journal, and which he says will be introduced in Congress this winter, and who has written a long editorial on the iniqui tous window glass tariff from which fhe following are extracts: "The Knights of Labor, as an or ;anization, must not be held respon sible for the growth of the system that has culminated in a partnership between one of the assemblies and the Window Glass trust, which has re sulted in curtailing production and thereby reducing th. amount of labor employed Jn the industry. "At no time during the last twenty years has a tariff leen necessary to preserve this industry from destruc tion. It has been a growing evil and ii now an unmitigated curse to all in this country, except a few manufac turers and a few of the workingmen in partnership with the blood-sucking trust. "Because we have the cheapest and best cilica, coal, gas and lumber in the world, we should naturally pro duce the best and cheapest glass. Had window glass been on the free list when natural gas came as a godsend, in the eighties, we would, in the opinion of the workers themselves, as expressed in their organs a few years ago. have soon dominated the world's markets. But with .protection duties averaging about 100 per cent on window glass, the manufacturers, not being compelled to compete with modern factories and methods, took things -easy and made no attempt to take advantage of their unrivaled op portunities. They continued to use antiquated pots long after they had been discarded in Belgium. Even now only about half of the glass made here is made in the tank fur naces. It is only in the last few years that the American glass has r.pproached in quality the foreign glass. High protection has produced the sa-ie corrupting effects upon the labor end as upon the manufacturers' end of the trust. The workers have been satisfied with mediocre skill and high wages for six or eight months of the 3-ear. and only too willing to re main idle the remaining four or 6ix rt.onths. The best and most highly skilled of the blowers are the import ed Belgians. But L. A. 300 the labor end of the trust, has made it next to impossible to recruit our skilled labor ranks from foreigners. By its agreement with the manufacturers only members of L. A. 300 can blow glass. A foreigner can get into L. A. 200 only on payment of several hun dred dollars initiation. Owing to this heavy tax and to iron-clad apprentice ship rales, there are only about 2,400 blowers in this country with which to man the 3,300 or more pots including the tank capacity. Thus the labor trust is able to dictate terms to the manufacturers' trust and to combine Its so-called "independent" factories with those of the manufacturers, and even to take stock in the big trust and to be represented in its board of directors. "Plainly the manufacturers and window glass blowers are in an allied trust to monopolize the Industry, and to rob the American people. They sold up the consumer and compel him -o pay two prices for glass. Their instrument of extortion is the high tariff on window glass. " "Not only would tie consumers save some $8,000,000 or $9,000,000 a year on the 5,000,000 or 6.000.000 boxes of glass imported . but the effect of free glass upon boi. e manufac turers and workers would be whole some and beneficial. Instead of con stantly bickering with each other over wage scales, price lists, times of shutting down and opening, com binations to fleece the public, to un kettle dealers and builders, and ol agreements to keep the Industry In 1 backward state of development, fre giass, by compelling competition and attention to legitimate details of tb industry, would soon result in a healthy eondltlon for all concerned Our window glass would soon be go ing to all parts of the world, as most of our other manufactured goods arc now doing. In no industry, perhaps, are the advantages more strongly in favor of this as against any otbei country. "The tarlft is certainly blocking th wheels of progress in this industry. Take it off. Give the people good glass at $1..10 to $2 per box instead ol compelling them to pay $3 to $4 for poor or ordinary glass. Stop the Im porta lion of 500.000 to 700,000 boxes a year, and not only make all of our own glass, but make glass for the whole world. If a few blowers get lower wages, after breaking their unholy alliance with the trust, which monopolizes the industry and locks it up from the people, others will get better wages and steadier employ ment in the enlarged industry, which would soon be born. "The United States, by putting win Cow glass on the free list, would dis solve its partnership with this greedy monopoly of manufacturers and blowers, who are a detriment to the industry and a curse to the country.'' NO TARIFF REFORM. The Trusts Still in the Saddle Riding the Republican Party to Its Un doing. It is practically settled that there will be no tariff tinkering by the pres ent Congress. The organization of the present representatives of the people is in the hands of the protec tionists who are of the Hanna "stand pat" stripe. The trusts are therefore secure in their extortion, at least ifntil 1904, and can continue to sell their products to foreigners for from 20 to 50 per cent less than they com pel the people of the United States to pay. How long the voters will con tinue to condone this discrimination against themselves is a question that is postponed for two more years. At the presidential election in 1904 they will have mother opportunity to de cide the question and with further enlightenment they may reverse their decision of this year. The trust question and reciprocity are forced to the front by the Presi dent in his annual message to Con gress with the evident intention of in spiring the people with hope of relief and relieving the Republican party of the more important tariff question on which it is so sorely divided. As the President has not, by any means, exhausted the power to pun ish bad trusts which the law already gives him, especially the criminal sec tion of the Sherman law, which he has never invoked, it is hardly fair to shoulder upon Congress all the ills that the trusts have brought upon us. As the trusts and corporations are quite willing to have members of Congress, knowing that they have a friendly majority which will manage, at least, to do nothing to seriously cripple them, the outlook for the peo ple is dark indeed. By the time the national election takes place the voters will have fur ther proof that no relief can be ex pected from the trusts and corporation-controlled party which they have intrusted with power and they will be more than willing to give the Demo cratic party an opportunity to in force the criminal section of the Sherman law, to amend the inter state commerce law to prevent dis crimination, and to reform the tariff law by placing trust productions on the free list. Reciprocity Treaty in Trouble. It has often been exemplified that reciprocity treaties have rough shrift in the senate. The latest example is the proposed treaty with Newfound land, which has been framed recently, and which will be submitted to the senate probably at the beginning of the session. At first the Massachusetts people began to protest because of the Glou cester fishermen, and the opposition of the two senators from the old Bay State seemed assured. Now the Maine people have joined in the op position because terms of the treaty would affect injuriously the fishing industry along the shores of the Pine Tree State, and the two Maine sena tors are ready to fight it. With that opposition at a short session of Con gress it is regarded as impossible to secure a ratification of the treaty. Washington Post. Forgetting Ante-Election Pledges. If the Inter Ocean speaks by au thority when it makes the announce ment that the election of Mr. Cannon to the speakership would be a pledge to the country that the tariff will be "let alone" a sharp issue will be presented to western congressmen of the Republican persuasion. Almost without exception these men were elected on their statement to their constituents that they would favor changes in the tariff -where there was excessive protection undet the present rates. If, as alleged by the Inter Ocean, Mr. Cannon is in declared oposition to this view, and is still made speaker by the votes of the representatives of the Middle West, there will be a heavy score to be settled later.

When fortunes were being made by British merchantmen running the blockade of Southern ports during the American Civil War. Sir William Al lan, who had served In the engineer Ing department of the British navy, signed as chief engineer on a mer chant steamer. London M.A.P. re peats a personal reminiscence of Sir William, which gives a good glimpse of those exciting times. After a successful run into the Sa vannah river, the blockade-runner tried a second time, and met with dis aster. One dark night, she was steal ing, with all lights masked, into Sa vannah, and ran plump into the arms of a Federal cruiser that was waiting for her In the darkness. "Stop your engines or we shall sink you!" was the summons from the cruiser, which had suddenly unshroud ed her lights and thrust out her guns close alongside. "I stopped the engines." related Sir William, "and began to blow off steam. A boat from the Federal ship had come alongside, and suddenly an officer rushed into my engine room and put a revolver to my head. He was In a rage, and told me I had opened the valves and was trying to sink the steamer. I must close them at once. I asked him who he was, and he answered: " 'I'm the engineer of the steamer that has taken you.' " 'I can't believe you are the engi neer.' I said, 'or you would have a spanner or an oil-can in your fist, in stead of fooling about with a pistol, and you would know that I am only blowing off a bit of steam.' " At this cool reply the officer dropped his pistol, and the two were soon good friends. THE INFLUENCE OF HEREDITY Lilias Haggard, Aged Nine, Is Now i Literature. Admirers of Rider Haggard's writ ings will doubtless be interested in knowing that his youngest daughter, 9-year-old Lilias, who striking resem bles her father, already has developed a taste for writing. She has recently completed a romance in which most of the characters come to fearful ends. In this, her first attempt, she shows the influence of her father's weird romances, says the Philadelphia In quirer. The Haggard family formed an in teresting picture at an "at home" given by them recently at the Hall, Ditchingham, England. Mrs. Hag gard, handsomely gowned; her eldest daughter, in white silk, embroidered with silver; the second daughter, Dol lle, who will soon be presented; the little Lilias, and the writer himself formed the home party. One of the guests was a brother of Mrs. Haggard, who is Consul in New Caledonia, and the original of Captain Good, in "King Solomon's Mines." The novelist, tall, loose-limbed, and with a peculiar swinging gait, looking not unlike one of his own heroes, took his friends through the hothouses to look at the orchids. The love of those flowers with him amounts to a passion. He would rather talk flowers or fann ing than of literature or art. Colorado Celery for the East. Colorado celery is this year for the first time being shipped East. From an insignificant business of a few years ago it has developed to an enor mous industry. Three years ago such a thing as shipping celery to the eastern markets was unheard of. But a few enterprising spirits decided to make the experiment and were amply rewarded for their efforts. The re turns were so large that the next year they shipped nearly their entire crop East. Since then the business has developed rapidly, and this year will be the banner season of them all. Nearly twenty-five cars have been shipped, and a conservative estimate for the season would be that not less than forty cars will be shipped alto gether. As each carload will easily average 24,000 pounds in weight, it means that fully 960,000 pounds of celery will be used for export trade alone. The Father's Hand. I am a child - In the darkness, , - A little frightened child. The winds are moaning- about me. And the storm in my heart is wild. My fear would increase "to terror. Only, wherever I stand. It Is mine to feel, for my comfort, t The clasp of my Father's hand. Duty has ordered me forwara, But I am afraid to go. The work is too great for my doing. So little I see and know; And yet I can find my courage And obey my Lord's command. And I'm not afraid to go onward With the clasp of my Father's hand. Xt is true that the end is coming. And my mystery, like a shroud, cSangs over the parting waters: I should fear to enter the cloud, But that this is my happy secret As I wait awhile on the strand. Closer and yet more tender Grows the clasp of my Father's hand. Aiarianne Farningham in Christian World. . Boys Have Suicide Club. The body of 13-year-old Lloyd Ham jiell, son of an oyster planter of Ab secon, N. J., was found the other night dangling by the neck from a rope thrown over the limb of a tree in the Methodist cemetery. The feet barely touched a tombstone. Upon inquiry it was learned that the lad was a mem ber of a boy's club which met nightly In a corn patch and discussed heroic deeds as portrayed in the blood and thunder novels which they exchanged at their nocturnal gatherings. A search of his school desk discovered several books of wild tales. The boy's teacher said that he had told her that his "time was up on Wednesday." It is suspected that lots wer drawn and that the boy was hanged by his play mates. One end of the rope was fas tened to a fence ten feet away. Our Losses In Spanish War.

That knightly Mlnxluslppl gentleman. Colonel Bob Uobo. of Hobo, MIhs., who refused to lend his hounds to Presi dent Roosevelt recently, explains that he bad guests of his own at the time, who. under the laws of Mississippi hospitality, held a first lien on tho dogs. The explanation effectually ab solves the colonel from the charge of disrespect to the president. It also Indicates that If the latter desires the use of the Hobo hounds on the occa sion of hlB next bear hunt he will make his headquarters at the Bobo mansion. Newurk News. A Memoiial Club House. The wife of Bishop Potter is about to build a club house in Cannon street, Manhattan, adjoining the NelKhhor hood house at Cannon and Hlvlngton streets, which she equipped for kind ergarten and IndiiHtrlal work. The club house, for men. will be numed after Mrs. Potter's son, the late Ed ward Clark, and will contain a coffee room in the basement, recreation rooms of various character In the four storiea and a roof garden. Old Enough to Vote. Colonel Duncan B. Cannon, secre tary and treasurer of tho Coney Island & Brooklyn Railroad company, is a Bplendld animal, every inch of his sur face In scintillation by a mental bat tery that never requires re-charging, says Victor Smith In the New York Press. It happened that his place of registration held a German-American interrogator whose knowledge of our languaTO was less profound than his sense of self-importance. After the isual questions he asked: "How mudge you alch?" The colonel, absently thinking his weight had been demand ed, replied promptly, "Two hundred and forty!" The German, dropping his pen. raised his eyes back into the top of his head and exclaimed: "Aaeh! Behute as Gott!" (God forbid!) Then turning to his assistant, he said in a whisper, in German: "A c itizen of this country begins to vote at 21; when does he quit at what age?" "No lime limit," said the assistant, explain ing the situation. "The. gentleman weighs 240 pounds; he is not 240 years old, as you imagine. We don't grow 'em that age here, but if we did we'd vote 'em." Having acknowl edged to 54. Colonel Canonn with drew to let his friends into the laugh.
