Representative Newlaods.
"Why," he said, "on election dsy I saw
one msn In Carson City, who I know has
been fighting poverty for years, with three

the money he told me it was given him
by an old friend for voting three times

this man waa a sample of what went on
there In the campaign, I know there will
be no suffering In my state this winter."
Colonel Ike Hill, the veteran 'Buckeye

somewhat upon his complaint In a former

"I cannot account for It," he said frankly.

The farmers and residents of Brown's

ever dug up newly planted corn, and lest
some unknowing person might go gunning

They keep a sharp lookout on the bird
for another reason, relates the New York
Sun. He has a way of Indulging in pranka
which are not always appreciated.
In appearance he looks exactly like any
other black crow, but he Isn't. He has
a name. Jim, and an owner, Job Stephen
son, who says he hss not yet had an offer
of money enough to buy him.
Jim wss a member of a big flock that
made a lot of trouble for the farmers, but

The report in part saya:
Citizens of St. Louis have learned with
shnme how they have been mercilessly
robbed for years. We have, for the last
nine week, been regaled with the greatest
exposure of corruption the world has ever
known. We believe the people have been
awakened and the public conscience has
: been quickened, and we feel gratified that
the law Is being vigorously enforced and
' ' due and proper punishment Is being meted
out to these public plunderers.
We have spent some time in investigating
" rrlmes against the ballot. While it Is clear
that many frauds have been perpetrated,
the difficulty of procuring direct testimony
is very great. Corrupt and incompetent
men were annotated as Judaea and clerks

The Washington correspondent of the
New Vork Bun Interviewed a number of
politicians at the national capital and
obtained variety of Individual expressions
on election results. The excuaea of the
victims are as instrucUve as the ex plana.
tiona of victors. Representative William
L. Stark of the Fourth Nebraska district,
one of the five members of the house still
outside tne Dreasiworxa oi me iwu ir
parties, is convtnoed that fair weather on
election day makes for republican success.
"The farmers in my district." he said,
"were so busy getting In the magutflcent
crops which have blessed their labors this
year, that about 4,600 of them tailed to go
to the polls, and their absence caused my
defeat for re-election. If it had been a
ra)ny day, ao that they could not have
worked In the fields, I should have beatea
my republican, opponent. Since then 1
have received hundreds of letters from
these stay-at-homes, apologizing for tbelr
neglect of the polls, but offering the ex
cuse that they supposed It was a sure thing
for me, anyhow. Well, I have a -One farm
myself, to which I can retire after March
, and maybe 1 will raise such crops aa
place last spring. Job soon learned that
the bird meant well and fed him. Jim ac
cented the compliment and haa never
changed his headquarters.
Every morning the crow accompanies the
men to White's cranberry bog, flying along
with them a distance of two miles. While
they work Jim amuses himself in the man
ner which has given him his local reputa
tion.
' His pet diversion is picking the pockets
of the coats thrown off by the men at
work, and there Is no use in trying to
hide a coat from htm. One man recently
thought he would fool the bird and hid his
coat In a cornstackr. Jim found It and
cleaned out the pockets of tobacco, matches
and a pipe.
What he doea with his plunder is a
mystery. He hides it somewhere, but no
one has yet been able to locate hia treas
ure house.
Jim Is also an Inebriate at heart, though
he seldom has a chance to Indulge his
fancy. That fact came out a few weeks
ago, when one of the hands stuffed his
coat pocket full of corn soaked with whisky
and left the coat in sight of the bird. Jim
ate it with relish and in a little while
became ao overcome that he flew to a tree
and went to eleep.
The next day he returned te the coat la
whfch he had made the find and hung
around near it for a week before he finally
gave up hope of another debauch.
Jim aets also as a rising signal for the
village. . Every morning at 5:30 he files
through the streets squeaking notes,, which
the villagers declare are the nearest he
caa come to saying. "Get Up; get up."
When he first became a member .of the
community the crow waa the cause of a
good deal of trouble. People awoke to
find that the milk cana, left on their back
stoops, had been overturned and tor a
while no one knew who the miscreant waa.
At length a housewife saw Jim grab the
handle of a can with his beak and use his
entire strength in turning it over. She
charged on him with a broom. So did
another woman tha next morning, and after
that Jim behaved himself.
Aa a watcher the crow la most useful.
Several times he has given the alarm when
a polecat or mink threatened Stephenson'a
chicken yard, and it la for thla falthful

NEW YORK, Nov. 28. Edward F. Croker,
chief of the fire department, wss today dis
missed from the service by Commissioner
Sturgts.
Mr. Croker was found guilty on the
charge of "failure to enforce the require
ments of law for properly aafeguardlng the
Park Avenue hotel; of the conversion of
public property to his private use; of con
duct prejudicial to good order and discipline
In persecuting and unjustly discriminating
against certain members of the uniformed
force, and of conduct unbecoming an of
ficer and a gentlemsn and prejudicial to
good order and discipline."
On the charges of "incompetency as chief
of the department in the management of
great Area" and of "sending false reports"
he waa acquitted.
Mr. Croker declined to make any com'
ment on the aentence, but it is known he
will fight the matter to the end. On being
informed of Commissioner Sturgls' action
Mayor Low issued a statement sustaining
the commissioner and expressing the belief
that he had acted in accordance with the
law and with the dlctatea of hia conscience.
Mayor Law Ivholda Margin.
In his statement Mayor Low says:
The charter places upon the Are com
missioner, and not upon the mayor, the
duty of conducting, all trials in the tire
department, and it is the sworn duty of
the commissioner to make his findings upon
evidence according to his onsclence. It
Ik due to the provisions of the charter
itself that the commissioner has been ob
liged both to formulate the charges and to
try them.
The circumstances In this case have been
such that 1 have thought it Incumbent upon
the mayor to assure himself that the chief
has had a fair trial, and that every op
portunity was given him to make his de
fense in the fullest possible way. Being
satisfied, aa I am upon these points, there
eeemed to be no reason why this trial
should not take its course like any other
trial held by the commissioners. Tha dis
cipline of the department, in fact, re
quired that this matter should be disposed
of in the usual way.
Edward F. Croker is 39 years of age and
haa been connected with the department
for eighteen years. He la the nephew of
Richard Croker. In 1898 he became deputy
chief, and on May 1, 1899, be succeeded
Hugh Bonner, aa chief of the department.
He is also president of the National As
sociation Fire Chiefs.
In August last, he obtained leave of ab
sence for rest. When Commissioner Stur
gls appointed Purroy acting chief.
Meantime, Mr. Croker decided to remain
In this city and attended the trial of Chief
Ryan of the bureau of repairs. The com
mlssloner then suspended him from active
duty.
Mr. Croker complained that thla waa an
attempt to force him out of the department
and took the matter to tire state aupreme
court, where Judge Hall decided that Com
mlssloner Sturgis had no power to relieve
the chief, and reinstated him.

IS HE THE "MERCHANT OF TOMORROW?'
Difficulty Met With la the Crowded
Marts of Trade Remedies Snsr
gceateel for Deep-Roote4
Grievances.
H. J. Conway, an ' officer of the Retail
Clerks' International Protective associa
tion, in a letter to the Chicago Tribune de
tails the grievances of the retail clerka of
that city, due to long hours of labor and
insufficient pay. The' conditions detailed
are those prevailing in Chicago, but like
conditions exist in a lesser degree in every
city and town in the west. Mr. Conway
writes.
The retail clerk today is worse oft than
the hodcarrier who recelvea 30 centa an
hour and worka day after day in a ault
of old clothes, which he can discard when
hia work la done. The clerk, on the other
hand, must meet the public clad in good
clothing, which takes a large part of his
Income. While the hod carrier works eight
hours a day the clerk tolls twelve, fourteen
aaa sometimes alxteea hours.
The condition of the retail clerks of to
day an army of wage earners composed
of men and women, both old and young are
such that it la impossible to consider them
in all localities in this article. In the city
of Chicago there are two classes the
clerks who work in tha large department
stores in State street and the onea In the
stores on the outside.
In the State street department stores the
hours of labor have been constantly
shortened until now these stores open at
1:80 in the morning and close at 5:30 or
o'clock la the afternoon and remain cboaed
on Sunday. But the rulea in these bouses
are ao strict and enforced ao severely that
they sometimes remind one of a penal In
stitution Instead of a place of employment.
One recognises that any successful place
of business must have a system and rules
and regulations governing. Its employes,
but a great many of the little' petty rules
raa b eliminated. Above all, more wagea
can v! paid the clerks in State street than
are paid at the present Urns.
Usg Hero-a la Stares. .
In the outside stores the hours are en
tirely toe long. The stores open at 7
o'clock In the morning and remain open
until I and S:S0 In the evening except
Wednesday and Friday nights, when thsy
Lii;se at ( 6'clock. Te counterbalance these
few hours of leisure, however, the clerks
must remain Saturday night until 10:30
and 11 o'clock and then be In the store on
Sunday from 7:30 in the morning until 1
o'clock in the afternoon. Think of the
feelings of the girls and young women who
are compelled to labor all these hours
In order to help fill the family larder.
They have absolutely no time to partici
pate in the innocent pleasures of life,
cannot even find time to attend to their
Christian duties. Aa an excuse for being
compelled to work on Sunday the clerks
are told "the merchants must keep open
to accommodate the public." In many
cases the stores are patronized by the
families of the clerks employed in these
stores, thus depriving their own flesh and
blood of enjoying Sunday as a day of rest.
The clerk in the grocery store Is com
pelled to open the store at 6:30 In the
morning and work almost continuously un
til 8 o'clock at night, and aometimes even
later. In addition to this he must be there
a half day on Sunday. Why should be work
so many hours? Doea It require all this
time to transact the business done on that
day? No, It is only again the selfishness
of the public In compelling them to work
so long. As solicitors make the rounds for
all the stores orders could be given them
and filled without the loss of the additional
time by the clerk. But because they are
not the grocery stores are keeping open
from early morning until late at night,
when their business could be done the same
as in the large department stores and the
clerks given shorter hours.
Perhaps there is no greater sufferer from
long hours than the drug clerk the young
man who is compelled to graduate from a
recognised college of pharmacy and atand
and examination before he can accept a
position aa clerk in a drug store. Every
day he opens the store at 7 In the morning
and closes at 11 o'clock at night. Often he
ia compelled to sleep in the store all night
ao as to be there la case of call for a pre
scription or through fear an accident may
happen that would necessitate medical at
tention. The welfare of tne public thus
prevents him from going to hia own home
to sleep.
Few Chaaees te Rlae.
There is an old saying that one hears
aometimes today that "the clerk of today
la the merchant of tomorrow." Is it true?
I do not think so. How can a clerk work
Ing on the wages paid today aad with the
Increase in living expenses ssve a sufficient
amount of money to enable him to go into
business? How can he meet the competi
tion be would have to face? Then, if the
competition be so strong today and require
ao much capital, what will it be in the fu
ture if trusts and combinations continue to
increase as they are both in the manutac
turlng and retailing of the commodities of
life?
Take as aa Illustration a combination
effected not long ago. Fifty retail stores
were brought under one head. The manager
buya in carload lota and retails through his
own storea at prices the ordinary merchant
cannot get when he goes to the wholesale
house. How can a man with small capital
meet thla kind of competition, and tbeso
combinations broadening their sphere of in
fluence? No, the clerk of today is not the
merchant of tomorrow, hut the merchant's
sons or the atockholdor'a sons of today are
the merchants of tomorrow, for the business
la handed dowa from father to son, and the
opportunity of the clerk becoming the mer
chant tomorrow la becoming leas and less
a possibility.
There Is one way? I believe, that It can
be done. That is by co-operation and or
ganisationby organising one great body of
men and women and co-operating with or
ganised labor, with wage earners like our
selves, and demanding, aa other wage earn
ers have done, "a Just day'a wagea for a
