Alms nml OhjectH—.Similar and Yet Different—Survlvhl of the Fittest. A trust is a body of capitalists who have obtained control of the profits in a certain line of business. A trade union is a body of workers organized to obtain control of the wa ges paid for a certain kind of skilled labor. Both trusts and unions are formed to do awaj with competition and to se- cure higher profits or higher wages to their members. The trust maker and the unionist are both clear headed enough to see the folly of playing the game of business single handed. They both see that it is d. case of 'organize or die," .that competition is played out. And that the man Who stands alone, whether he is a capitalist or a laborer, Is likely to be broken in two. So far trust has been more successful than the union in making its members rich, because there are not as many capitalists as there are workingmen and it is easier to. bring them together. Besid^s» a capitalist can 'see wha^ Is good for his pocket, while thousands' of workers neter think for themselves, but believe any old thing thejforeman tells them. There isn't a capitalist in New York who wouldn't jump into a trust the very minute he was asked, while it would take half a lifetime to get the benefits of unionism explained to some who need it most. It takes longer to complete the or ganization of unions than it does to form a trust, but when unionism is perfected it will be the strongest or ganization in the world. They laugh best who. laugh last. The trust are knocking us right and left, like a pin in a bowling alley, but some time in the next ten years they will find out that it is not the beginning but the finish of A race that takes the prize. Unionists possess what the iworld needs most—labor and as soon as they can close up their ranks and control the labor market the mightiest trust In America will be brought to its knees.. There is a great difference between a trust and a union—a trust is formed to increase the- profits of a few men who have already enough wealth, while a union is formed to secure living wages for a number of underpaid working people. The purpose of a trust is to close up factories and mills and mines, and to discharge as many men as possible, while on the other hand the purpose of a union la to reduce the hours of labor and thus give employment to the un employed. A trust freezes out as many of the smaller qapitalists as it can, and cor ners all the profits for a few giants who are in the scheme, while a ninion opens its doors to every worker in the trade, and even pays salaries to organ izers who gather as many non-union ists as possible in out of the rain. A. trust frequently has been proved guilty of corrupting the legislature and congress bribing right and left to push inT« thr°ugh f* .. which put millions in its own pockets, while trade unlon *2 I**?, lawful mean9 for 8°me aa AJ™8t an of union to secure legislation for the unemployed, or for the poor little child workers in factoi !!'°f of-the weaker and rieg, lected members of society. *eeps the Public in the dark operations, and covers a Cl°Ud °f Mystery, while a union holds open meetings, writes wel come over the door, and by means of lectures, pamphlets and papers does the best to teach the public the prin ciples for which it stands. So here we have two kinds of trusts —one formed to benefit a few score of ordinary people, and the other formed to benefit fifty or sixty millions of or dlnary people/ Both of these cannot exist forever side by side, but there is no mbt that the fitter will survive. Neither is there any doubt as to which of the two the fitter. •I *W» HOUSE REGISTRATION OP LETTERS NOW GOISO OS. 3few Syntenr Wan Inau*ura»»«l Yes terday and -Quite a Number of People Took Advantage of It—I'a tronM .Hunt HuVe Evi-rythlnu Ready for Carrier*, a* I)el|iy In Tolerated. •f The new system of registering letters by carrier in the resident districts was inaugurated in the city Thursday.

SAID TO HAVE SWIPED A ROLL. At- Harry McAllister, Colored Dath tendant Under Arrent. Harry McAllister, a colored man em ployed in J. J. Wall's Turkish bath rooms as a rubber. Was arrested Thursday afternoon and arraigned in police court charged with stealing $465 from a well known citizen. McAllis ter's examination was set for Thurs day, March 22, and ball fixed at $750, in defaut of which he was committed. The crime is alleged to have been committed last Friday night. About 5 o'clock in the afternoon tne man with tho money, who was in Jay Anderson's saloon, fell to the floor apparently in an apoplectic fit. He was bundled into a hack' and taken over to the Turkish bath rooms. His condition appeared to be serious and a doctor was sent for, who worked over him for several hours. He came to about 3 o'clock in the morning. While he was Still unconscious, McAl lister, who was at worK in the rooms ajnd had charge of the sick man's clothes, went up to the proprietor and! reported that the patient had a large quantity of money on his person and suggested taking it and putting it in the safe until morning. The suggestion was acted on and about $340 was taken from the man's pockets and put away. When the patient came to he was taken home. The next diy Detective Benson was informed that $465 had been stolen from the man's pockets, and he was employ ed to take the case, the loss not being reported to the police. It is said the victim claims that he does not remem ber anything after 3 o'clock in the afternoon, although not falling Until about 5. At any rate-McAllister has been un der suspicion for several days and De tectives Benson and Troyer have en deavored to secure confessions but without success. It Is reported that (the prisoner was flashing considerable gold during a crap game in the colored club rooms Sunday and also made a number of purchases, besides sending $12G out of the city.

"I remember hearing of a Quaker, a long-suffering and patient man, who was out In the field putting up his hay. He put a load of hay into His wagon and started for his home. As he saw the clouds gathering he hurried up and ran into a ryyt and his hay fell off. He put the hay back onto the wagon and started again and the clouds came near him, and In his hurry he «ran into another rut- and his hay fell off again. He put the hay onto the wagon again and started for the third time, and jtist as he got to the barn it started to rain, and in his hurry to get into the barn he ran off the bridge and the hay fell off again.

STr. Puttee, of Winnipeg, who was elected to the Canadian Commons on the labor ticket', the first labor member by the way ever sent to that house in Canada and who is unmuzzled by party ties, has more than once shown his usefulness to unionism. The other day the Great West Saddlery Co. -l{com plained through a member in the house because of the smallness of the order for military saddles placed with it and attacked the! government for Its un patriotic course of buying in the United States. Mr. Puttee interested the hou&e by explaining that the firm in qpestion had trouble with their' employes for some time back, because the' men had the courage to organize and declared a lockout against them. Mr. Puttee proyed the hypocrisy of their appeal to patriotism for as they locked out their employes, the firm had thefhselves secured the saddles sup Plied from the United States. He further pointed out amid applause from .both- sides of the house that a com •J«M»y -jwhich would |ct jattempt »to squelph the privileges of, its employees, as deny them the right to unite, was entitled to no consideration of pat ronage from the government. Thus E. Hutchings the manager and proprietor of the Great Western Saddlery Co. and who has been 'called the Canadian Pullman, received an unenviable advertisement and re primand aft the hands of his countries representatives. While shame may not touch such people as Mr. Hutch ings his prosperity may and his trade is hot likely, to improve' by reason of the facts of his attitude- to° his em ployees being laid before Parliament besides the loss of future orders from the department. 'H More power to Brother Puttee's elbow1 we want more like him. The value of labor representatives in legislative bodies cannot be too strong ly impressed, representatives un trammeled by party ties which con flict with their usefulness at opportune times. In listening to the debates in the Canadian Commons one is struck by a single note of party, which runs through all discussions cloaked and clothed in some argument plausable or "otherwise, yejt the end appears aggrandizement of party A disin terested observer- can perceive the working effect of 'judgment by 1 the applause, which marks the sharp dis tinction between Liberal and Con servative (jesks as one- or another scores a point.
