The meeting will be the means of adding considerable interest to the or ganization, and it is hoped that the engineers will put their shoulders to the wheel from now on. CARPENTERS' DANCE.

It seems to us that one change at least could be made in the primary election law that would be generally acceptable to all parties. Too long a time intervenes between the primaries and the election. There is no reason nor necessity for so great an interval between the two. It is productive of a too long political agitation. Four to six weeks would be plenty long enough to serve every purpose.

Other points that were even abandoned by the Jiftlge Advocate the two ad'mirals make ihe occasion of a criticism on Admiral .{Schley.

It will fete more than the prejudiced illogical.Meclslon odf two superannuates to ctii^te the opinion of- officer «st Admiral Scjjhiey." The only one of the three judges who ever did anything deserving ctf national recog nition was our beloved Admiral Dewey, and he dissents fr^m the opinion the majority and, gives Admiral Schley the credit he deserves. THE GIRLS MUST GO. An electrical engineer, of Baltimore, has just perfected an automatic tele phone exchange which will completely obviate the necessity of employing girls to make the connections, and a one hundred 'phone circuit has already been installed and is successful operation in that city, the inventor having secured, financial backing at once. Those people who believe that the function of the capitalist is to "give employment" never seem to realize that- he is quite as ready to take it away when more profits can be made by so doing. Perhaps some of the dis charged operators may possibly get on to the fact in this case. OUR OPPONENT. Our Republican opponent in the Fifth ward has not materialized within our office precinct since the primaries were, held. We are not belligerent towards an antagonist worthy of our steel until the proper time comes.' In the alder manic contest we stand for good gov ernment, a faithful adherence to the rights of all parties and localities,— and for such administration and legist lation afc will best conduce to the pros perity of our city. We have no axes to grind, no pet. theories to experiment with, and no other object or aim than to serve the people*faithfully and well. MINERS' GOOD INVESTMENT. President John Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers of America, states that the wage agreement be tween miners and operators in one year secured an Increase of $26,000,000 an nually for 200,000 members of the union, in return for a total Investment of 9300,000 as dues and assessments. "This," adds 1 Mitchell, "is a bigger dividend than the Standard Oil com pany, or the Morgan syndicate ever paid to stockholders." CHINESE ARE ACTIVE.

D» MAHON WRITES OH THE RE LATIONS OF BOTH. S»y« That the Interest of the Farmer and Wage Enraer la Identical—* Concludes That the Farmer Sells HI* Labor In the Market Just as the Wage Earner Ioea—Both Most Organise One all Important Question confront ing the organized labor world today is: how to unite all the interested workers into one practical federation or or ganization where they can protect and advance their. economic conditions? There is one great class that we have not as yet been able to unite and fed erate, with us in our industrial move ment—that is the Farmer. I know there are some who look upon the farmer as they do upon the busi ness man or merchant. I at one time held similar views, but after investiga tion I changed my mind, for I found that in the end all the farmer sells in the market is his labor, and hence his interests are identical with those of all other workers. Now, in order to understand correctly the farmer's position we must remember that the production of a commodity consists in taking some portion of nature's prod and transforming It into a form t'.e ired by man and then transporting it to a place where It can be used when wanted. Now, these three con ditions are necessary to any kind of production: Form, place and time. No article has value or price until It has g$ne through all of these processes. The farmer may own land,"raise live stock and grow grain in excess of his own needs, but while they are- still on the farm the process of production has not been completed, for they are not at a place where they are wanted or can be used. When the farmer goes to finish the process of production and add time and place he finds that the instruments for this—the railroad, telegraph, ele vator and stock yards—belong to some one else who appropriates all the far mer has produced, save the share that labor has always received, a scanty living. 1 In this respect the farmer is placed In the same position as the mechanic or wage-worker. The' latcer can not use his labor power to. produce goods until the capitalist'allows him to use the capitalist's neans of production. The farmer can not bring the result of his capital, land and labor power combined, tp a complete production un less allowed to use the capitalist's means of transportation and storage. So it is, both are held at the mercy of the capitalist. Let us follow the same question in relation to Improved BLOC IN Tomorrow we let the prices down on several of our most desirable lines of garments. You scarcely expect to purchase garments of the character of th#s» for so little money during December. These goods are generally reduced in the latter part of January and February.

These $44.50 robes for $34.50. $28 Newmarkets at $16— 51 hand, tools of a few yeartj. ago have gone and today machinery is as nec essary to operate the farm as it is the shop and factory. Those' who control the manufacture of machinery, hold the farmer ""at their mercy,. and we find the latter as much enslaved to his twine binder as the printer to his lino type machine. Another glance, and we find the fac tory system still further engrafting It self upon the farmer. .The creamery, cheese factory, beet sugar factory, are examples of the new industries that have been grafted upon, the farm and are nothing more or less than a por tion of the great factory system. The farmers' products connected with these industries are absorbed by the owners of the plant, and the farmer who grows the fruit, beet or vegetables, receives simply the wage for his share of the labor performed upon the fin ished product. In many cases that wage is lower than that received by the employes within the walls of the fac tory. So I say that, on investigation, we find the Interest of the farmer and v/age-earner identical. Statistics tell us that about 40 per cent oi our popu lation are engaged either as-farm own ers or farm laborers. The great uqes tlon for us as trade unionists is to find how we can uhlte and affiliate this great body of interested wage workers in a ihovemetit with our. Am erican Federation of Labor, where we can advance and protect all our in re know that some' will immediately call attention to single tax, others to socialism and the various other theo ries but that is not'the question. The queStioh is of a practical organization that will bring us at once in touch with one another, where we can co operate and assist one another in the struggle for Industrial emancipation. When' the farmers give the question proper study, from the standpoint here in Indicated I believe they .will accept our form of organization. CLERGYMAN AS W0RKINGMAN. •I What Rev. MeJfutt Learned by'Living the Life of a Laborer. Recently, at Berkeley Temple,- Boston, the Rev., George L. McNutt spoke on some of the discoveries he had" made when living the life of a laboring man, for, though a minister and a graduate of Princeton, ,he gave up"' $is parish In a university town ind With", his family Went Into a community of factory hands to live and earned his bread as a laborer. keeper."

He said it was a good thing to go about dressed like a worklngman^ for "nobody holds you up," and then one can get at the real feelings and thoughts of other working people, which, dressed as a preacher, he never could have learned. One of his needs, which Is shared by other workingmen, was for music, but all he could hear was in a beer garden, a saloon or when a funeral procession passed by, and, he said, "I had no de sire to join either." One of his fellow workers, in speaking of the drink habit so common among the factory employ es, said, "I seldom go into a saloon ex cept for the music." Mr. McNutt said how much better it would be to give music to those who are hungry for it, instead of to those who are tired of It because they have °so much of it. In praising the good qualities of the worklngman he said a nurse whose occupation takes her into the city streets at all hours of the night had told him she never was afraid of man with a dinner pall, for he Would not disturb a woman on the streets.
