Park—“ For Liberty and Love.” The cast that is playing "For Liberty and love” at the Park Theater is one of much melodramatic capacity. A strong performance of this Cuban war play is given. The melodrama in the piece is better than the comedy, although at times the comedy situations prove very entertaining. In a play of this sort, however, it is difficult fittingly to introduce comedy, the exciting features of the piece being so numerous and the strain so great that comedy seems out of place. For Instance, the widow, who Is put in this play for the sole purpose of diverting the minds of the audience from the more serious work, is an impossible character with a Colonel Sellers scheme, which she imparts to any one who will listen to her. The result is that her part of the performance U not especially interesting because of its contrast to better things from the rest of the cast. The climaxes are strong and the audience Is worked up at the close of each act. Pedro’s description In the second act of the slaughter of a Cuban family by a party of Spaniards and the burning of their heme Is the author s most ambitious work. He tells the storr to Carlotta. and It is her parents who have been thus murdered. This character of Carlotta is played with force by Lorese Weyman. Her voice is well suited to the rhle, being deep and musical, and her manner Is impressive. Bhe Is a young woman with a stage future. Lawrence Murpton plavs the villainous Captain Mori in a way to'make him thoroughly hated by the audiences. The rest of the cast is competent and the plav is given a fine scenic surrounding. The theater was crowded at both performances yesterday. It will be seen today and to-morrow only and be followed Thursday at the Tark by "Human Hearts.” ' Empire—" Cay Morning Glories.” The act of Grant and Grant, “the colored Kohlnoors of comedy.” which opened the Gay Morning Glories' entertainment at the Empire yesterday afternoon, waa too good to be put first on the bill, while the crowd was still coming in. There was a little of everything in the "coon" line in their work and all was done with grace and skill. The horizontal bar performance of McPhee and Hill, including some new team work on the high bar, was one of the moat finished bit* of action in its way that has been presented 1

on this stage. Preston and Balmaine's illustrated songs were greeted with applause of the vigorous and pronounced kind that an Empire audience furnishes when It gets something that it likes. Wills and Barron gained the favor of the house with a nonsensical sketch, though they made the mistake of overprolonging it. McCabe and Sabine’s Irish sketch was anew rendering of the stage Irishman. It was not particularly Irish, but Included a half dozen or so very clever imitations of Johnny Ray, Bobby Gaylor and several other Irish comedians that were recognizable on the Instant. Miles and Mlgnon's sketch was well done. Miss Mignon’s dancing being the most pronounced feature. The closing burlesque was made the vehicle for some pretty choruses, trios and quartets, good eccentric dancing and a shadow pantomime scene in which women and men disrobed. The lower floor of the house was completely tilled and the upper floors almost so. “The Morning Glories” will remain all week. English's—Field's Minstrels. A! G. Field’s Minstrels played their first engagement in English's Opera House last night, giving a performance that greatly amused a large audience, the largest, in fact, Field has ever played to in this city. The “first part” is varied by a stage picture entitled “Flags of the Nations,” patterned after Sousa's spectacular "Trooping of the Colors.” While not so pretentious as ‘Sousa's, it was very pretty, and the singing was good and the whole well received. Following this came a round of songs, both serious and comical, rendered by men who possessed good voices and many of them singing soprano like prima donnas. The greatest musical hit of this part of the programme was Mr. Donnelly's peculiar rendition of the popular 'coon song, "I Want My Lulu.” He seemed to put more expression into this song than customary, and his efforts were heartily appreciated. The "first part” concluded with operatic selections. Part second, the olio, contained some features that were new. Probably the best act was the juggling of Everhardt. which was remarkable for .the unusual ease with which it was performed. Arthur Rigby drew' some laughs by Interspersing a few modern Jokes among a most astonishingly large number of stale ones. The trio, Lelliott, Busch and Lelliott, pleased with their musical novelties, notably their performances on bells resembling those appended to cows to give notice of their whereabouts. The Faust family of acrobats. now in this country the first time in years, furnished an exhibition of more than ordinary grace and ease. The Fausts were the only rivals of the famous Schaffer family, known around the world in amusement halls. The performance concluded with the time-honored pantomime, "Gone to the Moon.” Convention of Poli*h Singers. CHICAGO, Sept. 5. —The annual convention of the United Polish Singers of America opened to-day at the Polish Alliance Hall with songs and speeches. Fifty delegates were present. The organization is incorporated under the laws of Illinois and has members over the entire country. Its object is to promote interest in Polish national and American songs and to organize and direct choruses and choirs. It is probable that next year's convention will be held at Bay City, Mich. Downs Going: Abroad. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Sept. 5.—T. Nelson Downs, the "king of coins,” who is playing in this city, has signed for a season at London. Berlin, Paris and Viennna theaters. From here Downs goes west to California on the Orpheum circuit. Note* of the stage. English’s will remain dark until Friday, when Robert Mantel! comes for a brief engagement, playing "Monbars” Friday night, "A Secret Warrant” at Saturday’s matinee and “A Face in the Moonlight” Saturday night. Mr. Mantell is now the chief representative romantic actor on the American stage. IHe favors French authors in selecting his plays and the glitter of fine costumes, courtly manners and dashing heroism displayed In the French school are especially suited to Mantell’s physique. Anna Boyd, the actress who is reported to have married Joseph Coyne in New York last week, W'as at one time the wife of Harry Morris, the German farce comedian, now the husband of May Howard, of burlesque fame. Miss Boyd was reported to be engaged to Tunis Dean, of this city, now of Baltimore, two years ago, but it was probably a press agent’s story. She began her etage’eareer in the Kiralfy school and afterwards did a serio-comic “turn” at Tony Pastor's in New York. From there she was taken for the production of the "Field of the Cloth of Gold,” brought over from England and managed by George June, of this city. In the same production was the opera singer, Harry Brown, then the husband of Amy Lesley, who has since left the stage and Is now dramatic critic on the Chicago News. G. N. Welty, advance manager for “Shenandoah,” Bronson Howard’s great war play, arrived yesterday to arrange for Its engagement at English's during state fair week. The big Chicago production made by Jacob Litt, which is being brought here, opened its winter season at Cincinnati last night as the chief amusement attraction during the G. A. R. encampment. Among the new features in this year’s production of the Hanlons’ “Superba,” which is to open the Grand Opera House next week as a fair-time attraction, are the bathing girls, shadow battle, combination bedstlek, angry husband, accommodating whale, funny billiard game, amusing bicyclists, eccentric musicians, elongated candle, educated babies and dazzling Arctic effects. HE SACRIFICED HIS LIFE e CHARLES E. MITCHELL, OF EDIXBI'RG, TRIED TO STOP RUNAWAY. Heavy Wngnn Over Hl* Head—Walked Home and Took a Bath Be fore He Died. ♦ While attempting to stop a runaway team at the corner of Delaware street and Fort Wayne avenue yesterday afternoon, about 5 o'clock. Charles E. Mitchell, a young man about twenty-one years old, was thrown down and run over, suffering injuries which resulted fatally at the City Hospital several hours later. V Mitchell has been living in this city only about one week, and has been boarding with Mrs. Kerr, at 914 North Alabama street, the last two days. He is employed an a wdre fitter, and was returning from work when the approaching team attracted his attention. He stepped into the street, and, as the running hbrses passed him, he giabbed them by the bit. He was thrown violently to the street, and both wheels of the heavy wagon passed over his head. He was not rendered unconscious, and, after watching the course of the team out of sight, walked slowly to his boarding place, about one block distant. Here he told the landlady what had occurred, and remarked that people ought not to leave their horses unhitched. He then took a bath and dressed for supper. During the evening meal he suddenly became pale and was compelled to leave the table, asking that a physician be summoned. Going upstairs, he fainted, but was soon restored. A doctor was obtained, and it was deemed advisable to send him to the hospital, though his injuries were not then considered fatal. At the hospital he rapidly became worse and sank into unconsciousness, from which he never recovered, dying at about 8 o'clock. Mitchell is a comparative stranger in this city. For several months he was employed by a man named Compton, a hardware dealer of Tipton, and It was in that city that he became acquainted with Mis. Kerr, with whom he was boarding here. She, with her husband and family, moved to this city about two weeks ago, and Saturday Mitchell applied to her for a room and board. He was accommodated. Sunday he went to Edinburg, where it is thought that his People reside and did not return to this city until yesterday morning early. Among his belongings was found a slip of n a ner on which was written D. M. Mitchell Edinburg, who is supposed to be his father or brother. Another Arrested for BrlKlitnood Riot Henry Mills, said to be another of the participants in the riot at Brightwood Saturday night, was arrested yesterday by Capt. Kruger and charged with assault and battery with intent to kill. Patrolman Woodard was better yesterday and was able to talk rationally again. The slight fracture in the skull of Saloon Keeper Rush, of Brightwood, is not at present considered serious. Pierce Fell from Hl* Wheel. Charles Pierce, 825 Daugherty street, while riding his wheel on North Meridian street suddenly lost all control of the machine and was thrdwn headlong against a lamppost. cutting a slight gash in his head. He was removed to the City Dispensary, where his wound was dressed. It was stated that n waa intoxicated

LABOR’S GREAT PARADE LARGE DELEGATIONS FROM OUT OF TOW X IX LIXE YESTERDAY. 4. Speeches by Gov. Mount,\A. J. Beveridge and Other* at Fair Grounds -Eluooil in 1800. • 0 Labor day was quite successfully observed in this city yesterday with a state demonstration. The parade, much larger than anticipated, was given in the morning, and speeches were made at the state fair grounds in the afternoon. Elwood was chosen for the state celebration next year. Big crowds gathered on the down-town streets in the morning to witness the parade. Monument place, as usual, was an especially sought location, and by the time the tardy paraders made their appearance the crowd was banked on each side of the street and the broad steps to the monument were crowded with people. Earlier in the morning there was a liberal sprinkling of uniformed men scattered among the crowds, and they were all in a good humor, it being a holiday for them and a gala day. The cool-looking suits were surveyed with envious eyes by the suffering people who were waiting to see these same men march. The parade was advertised to start at half past 10 o'clock, but was fully an hour late in making its appearance. Many of the outside delegations were unable to reach the city in time, on account of late trains, some of them delayed by the tardy members of the organizations and others through no fault of their own. As fast as each delegation arrived in the Union Station it was started toward the place of formation on North Meridian street, where Chief Marshal Edgar A. Perkins got Jhe men into line and prepared to march. Several of the visiting organizations brought bands with them, and the air was full of music during the tedious wait. The men sat about or. the curbstone of the streets to which they were assigned for formation and spent their time having fun at each others expense. Each newcomer was greeted with some sort of a “jolly,” and he, in his turn, took his place and helped with the fun when the next man approached. The carriage containing Governor James A. Mount, Mayor Thomas Taggart, Albert J. Beveridge and William Yochum, the speakers of the day, was late in taking its place at the head of the line. The entire column was headed by a squad of police, commanded by Captain Dawson and the bicycle patrolmen cleared the street. After the police, the speakers followed in their carriage and then the strong Muncie delegation made its appearance. Its own band vigorously made music for the occasion and twenty of the Muncie street-car conductors, in full uniform, followed. Next came seventy men of the White Star Lodge of the Amalgamated Association, in their white trousers, blue shirts and red belts. Then the carpenters, the bakers, the printers, the bricklayers and the Building Laborers’ union, marching two abreast, passed. The bakers presented a novel and pretty appearance. Each man wore a white linen suit and carried a white umbrella, to which were attached pretzels and cakes in all shapes and sizes. They pleased the crowd. Enterprising little Elwood sent the largest out-of-town delegation of the day. Over 900 men, representing all the leading trades unions and organizations of that city were in line, and thfy followed directly after the Muncie crowd. They had their band, and James Swatman proudly kept his men in line and watched every stage of the march. The McKinley Lodge of the Amalgamated Association appeared well represented, and the retail clerks of the little town became suddenly aristocratic and rode in carriages. They were followed by the glaes blowers, who were enthusiastic over their city, and wished everybody to know it. Cheer after cheer informed the people along the line of march how proud they were of it. The Andersen band, in deep red uniforms, headed the crowd from that city. A large banner announced the town, and the coopers, barbers, iron and steel workers, filemakers and tin-plate workers seemed proud to march behind it. The New Albany contingent made a favorable impression in linen suits and pretty badges. INDIANAPOLIS IN THE REAR. The large Indianapolis delegation brought up the rear of the procession, but its reception showed that because they came last, was no assurance they were least. Many of the marching men had friends and acquaintances in the crowd who did not allow opportunity to slip by for yelling and joking with the tired, hot marchers. The jolly bakers led the delegation and they needed no banner to announce their vocation. All wore white suits and aprons, and upon each head sat a baker’s cap. And not a coat or vest was to be seen on the backs of any of these fellows. They were followed by the brewers under a large banner, and the broom makers then appeared. The cigarmakers undertook to score some of the local tobacco retailers by a wagon load of Chinamen rolling cigars, supposed to represent “scab” labor. In comparison with this was a float, containing several fullfledged Union cigarmakers, who made an excellent impression alongside the foreigners. Each printer who followed next was decked with an attractive badge and wore a brown soft hat and carried a cane. The stage hands followed and the electrotypers, anew organization, rode in a stylish rig. A band came along and the bookbinders and then the pressfeeders. The stone masons and plumbers all turned out well and made a good appearance, not only from a point of numbers but their form of march. An even hundred of Indianapolis painters followed in white suits and hats, and the garment makers occupied about thirty carriages. There were over two hundred carpenters and a goodly number of woodworkers, furniture workers, and upholsterers. There were pattern makers, and there were people following almost every vocation known. The retail clerks turned out in large numbers and marched four abreast over the entire line of march. Almost an hour was taken to pass a given point and along the entire line of march there were large crowds of people. It was a success, and after the men had disbanded they were well pleased with themselves and the appearance they made, and all went for a good time, most of them to the demonstration at the fair grounds. AT THE FAIR GROUXDS. Speeches by Governor Mount, Major TaicKnrt and Albert J. Ueverlilge. A large crowd attended the Labor day exercises at the fair grounds. From 12:10 until 2 o'clock in the afternoon street cars running to the grounds were crowded. By 3 o’clock the crowd on the grounds was as large as usually attends the Labor day picnics. On account of the muddy condition of the race track the athletic events that had been announced for the afternoon were declared off. One of the buildings, however, was used as a dancing paviilion, and the young people found much to interest them there. The camp where the One-hundrcd-and-lifty-seventh Regiment is quartered was open to visitors, and many took advantage of the opportunity to visit the soldiers. At 3 o’clock the orators of the afternoon arrived at the amphitheater, where the speech-making was to take place. Mayor Taggart was introduced and delivered an address of welcome. The mayor said he waa glad of an opportunity to extend u welHe believed that Labor day was a good

thing, but thought it should take place once a month instead of once a year. Organized labor, he asserted, is the only legitimate weapon the workingman has to defend himself with. According to the views of the mayor, it is to the interest of capital to have labor organized. Employers secure better results from organized labor. The mayor said he was glad the laws of Indiana were favorable to organized labor. He thought workingmen should felicitate themselves on the fact that the condition of the State at the present time is good for the industries. The crops are bountiful and there is plenty of employment for every man who wants to work. In his remarks Mayor Taggart pointed to the white tents across the track from where he stood. He referred to the inhabitants of the tented village and of the brave men who have come back from the war. The mayor said he had very recently read the views of Maurice Thompson, who maintained that the United States should keep all it has captured. He declared that he. too. had reached the conclusion that the people of this country are entitled to retain the islands they have captured, and should do so. Governor Mount’s Address. Governor Mount was the next speaker introduced. He said it was not his purpose to make a speech, as other orators had been provided to do that work. It was simply his province to extend a welcome to those who had come to the celebration. Continuing, the Governor said: “Our statutes, national and state, provide for a Labor day, and make this Labor day a legal holiday. The purpose of the statute in providing a Labor day which should be a legal holiday was to call the attention of the people of this Nation to the dignity and to the importance of labor. When we contemplate that a century ago this State was a wilderness waste, and to-day it is covered over with fruitful fields, yielding abundant harvests and dotted over with growing cities and towns, and interlaced with telephone and telegraph lines, and gridironed with railroads, we are astonished. Yea, when we consider the rapid growth of this country we stand amazed. The civilized world looks upon the United States and is appalled to note that in a little more than a third of a century the increase of wealth in this country has reached an amount greater than the aggregate wealth of any country in the world. And when we sL nd amazed at our wonderful achievement, at our marvelous attainments, at our accumulated wea ,f h, we ask the question, from whence came this transformation' what magic wand touched the wilderness that it bloomed forth in beauty and abundance: what hand has builded these cities and towns over this great commonwealth, over this Nation; what hand has put up these telephone and telegraph lines; what hand has builded these railroads; yea, what hand has gone into the mountain side, bringing out the ore, down into the mine, bringing up the coal, and then, in the furnace of industry, has created this great wealth? It has been the hand of labor that has wrought this marvelous change, and it is for the purpose of honoring the men who have created the Nation's wealth that we are here to-day. According to Mulhall’s statistics, the productive wealth of the United States aggregates now $15,000,000,000 annually, an amount double that of any nation on earth. To-day we are amazed at this wonderful augmentation of wealth, and to the laboring men of this country belongs the honor of this vast accumulated wealth. “It matters not where men labor, whether in the field, in the factory, in the shojfl? down in the mine or at the counter, whether they labor with brawn or brain, they all contribute to the wealth of this country. Peter the Great of Russia, when ha was founding that mighty empire, which to-day in large measure dominates Europe, recognized that the arts of industry must be at the foundation if a nation would rttairi greatness, and you find that he, in the founding of that mighty empire, for the time being turned the government over to a man chosen by himself, and then tirveleJ in Sweden, was at Blandenburg and at Haardam, in Holland, engaged at day labor in the dock yards. Yea, a man who was to found an empire worked as a day laborer at building and received each Saturday night, as every other man does, his wages. That man builded better than he knew. JUDGING A MAN BY HIS CLOTHES. “In 1698 William 111 of England invited this man to visit England. He was honored everywhere, but Peter the Great, instead of indulging in reveling and in dissipation or in banqueting, spent his time among the laboring men in the dock yards and the shops of England, and why? He knew full well that labor must make the Russian empire great if it ever became great. Aye, should we not honor the men who thus create the Nation’s wealth? Sometimes there is a disposition to judge men by their exterior polisn and lock with favor upon the man who may be neatly clad, who may be accustomed to the fa*-h----iens of the day—his hands white and uncoiled -and there is a disposition t>. look with favor upon that man rather than upon the man who stai.ds at the throttle of the engine, with soiled hands and face, or the man who gees down into the mine and comes up covered with grime and dirt, or the man who stands in the shop or the factory with the soiled garments and soiled hands This false standard of judging a man is a mistaken standard. You can no more judge the heart by the exterior polish than you can tell the depth of the ocean by the fcani cm its crest. The hands soiled by honest labor ought to be a badge ts hoimr :n tins country, for these aie the hands that have made this Nation great as it stands to day, “And there are other men who have dignified labor. That chiefest of all apostles, tnat greatest theologian the world ever knew, that mighty orator and scholar, the Apostle Paul, when he bade farewell to the ciders at Ephesus, lifted up before them his needle-worn hands and said to the elders of that church; "These hands have ministered to my necessities that I might not be chargeable unto any of you.” Y'es, that great teacher and rreacher, worked at his craft—tent making, to support himself while he was seeking to carry the gospel to the remote portions of the world. And yet today in this modern civilization there is a disposition to rather 'ook with disfavor upon the hands that Paul held up as a badge of honor. Then let us, my fellowcitizens, as we contemplate the wonderful development of this country and its marvelous achievements—as we take this retrospective view, let us for a moment take a prospective view. As we travel over this great land of ours and we see the millions of acres of land not vet cultivated, and when we conterrmplate the possibilities, under scientific cultivation, of ar increased product of the acres now cultivated, and when we consider the wealth hid beneath the soil, cropping out of our mountain sides and along our valleys; when we contemplate the vast resources of undeveloped wealth in this country, we at once conclude that these things in the hand of labor point to a period of national greatness, the acme of which we are but beginning to ascend. And what is going to efiable us to reach that grand climax of possibility? It will be the hand of labor that has wrought thus mightily in this land. QUALITIES THAT GO WITH LABOR. “Then to these workingmen—l care not where they toil, if in the sweat of the face you eat bread, it is according to the divine decree, and to all such I bid you welcome here to-day. With one word more to these laboring men, and that is the possibilities that lie within the reach of every laboring man. There is something more now in man than the mere work of the hand. Qualities of mind, heart and character—if these things go with labor, they add to the value of that labor. Then as to the possibilities of the laboring man. I remember of reading of two laboring men that worked at the bench in Philadelphia. Each received $2.50 a day for his labor. One of these men was using his mind in perfecting an invention for wood-carving. The other was teaching a dog to dance. The man that taitfirpd with his mind as well as with h>~ hands perfected his invention and moved into a brownstone front, a wealthy man. The other went on making his $2.50 a day and teaching his dog to dance. Laboring men, this country of ours offers equal possibilities to every man. The field of inventive genius is open. Those of you_ who put character and mind and intelligence into your work, your labor will be In demand. It is possible for you to secure most, possible for you to reach distinction, posssible for you to attain wealth. And that country which looks most after laboring men and stimulates labor by the best wages, is the country that will attain the greatest wealth and power. Again, and in conclusion. you are welcome to :his commonwealth. and welcome io this meeting, because of the grand things your hands have wrought in this accumulated wpaith of which we are proud. Again I bid you a most cordial welcome.” George Derrick, president of the state Labor day committee, responded briefly to Governor Mount. He said that many who attended the exercises last year have passed away, but he was glad and the committee was glad so many were present in the full vigor of health. He hoped that all would meet again on next Labor day. Address by Albert J. Beveridge. Albert J. Beveridge was then introduced as the orator of the day. Mr. Beveridge's speech was substantially as follows: "The term laboring man needs to be defined anew’. There has been anew, a just

and an accurate description of a business man. The term workingman needs to he broadened, too. Whoever gives to the world a day of honest effort is a workingman. The man who runs the furrow and sows the seed and reaps the fields of gold that feed the world is a workingman as much as he who turns the million wheels of transportation distributing it among mankind. The miller who grinds the wheat or weaves the cotton and the wool, the wholesaler and retailer who bring the finished product to the customer's door, all are members of the nobility of toil. Every proper, honest agency in our complex civilization is but a form of labor. And so it is that whoever is the friend of labor is the friend of man. For we are woven together in this tremendous fabric of the ages called civilization. Every man is necessary. Every honest occupation is essential. Every man depends on every other man. The just prosperity of one is necessarily the real prosperity of all. Society is a family, not a group of hostile camps. The interests of labor are not opposed to the interests of capital or the reverse; and the capitalist who regards labor as his foe—the employer who looks upon his men as a hostile force whose wages are to be cut down to the lowest living point, is not only out of time with the times, but is an idiot of selfishness, rotting out the foundations of his own prosperity. Industrial selfishness—gain at the expense of our fellows' welfare—is the method of savagery. Industrial interdependence is the effect and the purpose of civilization. * * * “There is no such thing as sudden remedies. There is no such thing as instantaneous and universal reforms. Even God proceeds gradually. The daylight does not come with a flash. Consider His method with the blooming of a rose and then think of the method of a Kellar or a Herrmann. The latter steps upon the stage and tells you that he will perform a miracle—he will make a rosebud grow and bloom before our eyes from a pot of sand. He shows us the sand—it is sterile; he covers it with an empty paper, mutters a word, whips away the cover and a rosebud covered with loveliness has risen from the powdered silica. That is the method of instantaneous reform. But the rose is not rooted in the sand—it is stuck there. It has no life. It will wither in an hour. It is only a make-be-lieve. God's method involves the seed, the soil, the seasons, the sunshine, air and dew, and the attention of that ancient gardener. Time. And when at last, after weeks and months, the rose tree blooms in royal glory, it is a reality and not a dream, it is a vital and self-renewing fact and not a wilting and visible death. So with every reform in human society. With infinite care and patience, with endless toil and thought every period of human development must be worked out. No perfect system of human government was ever devised at a given time by the brain of man. “I -am not here to discuss any particular reform to-day. In every proposed reform there is probably some good. But that good must be separated from the inexpedient or bad which surrounds it. and applied to practical human conditions by the fingers of experience. Whoever comes to us. therefore, with a general proposition of reforms to he accomplished in a day, to be achieved by an election, is an unsafe counselor, drunk with his own devices—a false prophet raising hopes sure of disappointment and creating unreasonable discontent. But he w’ho says to us ‘let us do w r hat we can in our day and time to better in this or that practical particular the conditions of labor and of life which we know how to improve here and now.’ the same is the only helpful friend of you and me—the only one who speeds the coming of the hoped-for day of social and industrial perfection. For these little reforms will finally work out. naturally and wisely, the larger reform; that which is apparently incidental will be found to be rooted in the eternal. WANTS CULTURED MASSES. “The better the workman, the better the work; the better the product the larger the demand and price; the larger the demand and price, the greater the profit; the greater the profit the higher the wages—such is the simple logic of the brotherhood of labor and capital. And, besides the purpose of this Republic is the culture of men. The noblest product of the Nation is citizenship. I have no patience with the so-called cultured classes—l want to see the cultured masses. But all this cannot come in an hour. Patience is the word to be repeated by every friend of the people—patience and vigilance and courage. The social bigotry—the industrial savagery of the past cannot be overcome at a blow. Perfect industrial conditions cannot be builded in a day. There is no lamp of Aladdin in nature or society. Slowly we must progress toward our ideal. Day by day, ‘doing with our might what our hands find to do,’ we must improve human conditions and sweeten human life. This is the method by which all good has come to us. The progress made in a single generation in behalf of ldbor and therefore in behalf of man has been immeasurable. The statute books are rich with laws lifting a burden here, creating a right there, protecting a privilege yonder. Even the Constitution of the Republio is interpreted today in the interest of the toiler and so in the interests of all society. The 'pluck-me store laws’ of this State are unconstitutional according to the rules of strict constructionists and would have been so declared twenty years ago; I could name scores of kindred legislative acts which the bench of a generation since would have stricken down. But by the broader principles of constitutional interpretation which have grown out of vital human needs—which have grown out of the new idea that the Constitution was made for the people and not tne people for the Constitutionsuch laws are to-day sanctioned by the iudiiary and upheld by all the power of government. And more progress is yet to be made than has already been achieved. And, finally, out of these laws written by present necessities, out of accumulating customs, out of multiplying usages, growing as grows the plant, cell on cell, growing as grew the common law of England, precedent on precedent, growing as grow all living and enduring things in the realm of thought as well as matter, stage by stage, we shall evolve at last a perfect system of industry and human relationship. “But powder will not help that growth. Violence is a poor gardener. The torch withers development, instead of hastening it. The way to hatch an egg is not to cru ;n it. The boy who digs up the bean he plaited yesterday to see whether it has sprouted retards, instead of forwarding, the harves*. The eternal analogy holds and nature will have her way with the progress of man no less than with the progress of plants. “If any man says that in all this there is no promise of the immediate perfection of social and industrial conditions T answer that whoever so promises is a vender of Dead-sea apples, which will turn to ashes on your lips; I answer that I prefer to be the preacher of a vital faith, the prophet of a fruitful hope, than the momentarily popular aspostle of a gospel of deceit and a creed of impossibilities. 1 Know that it is hard to await the slow methods of natural development. We feel that complete relief should come at once. Men say: ‘Your theory of progress helps me too tardily. I want higher wages now. I want prosperity today. I want life while I live.’ A congested situation increases this impatience. But yesterday it looked as though wise counsel might go unheeded, so desperate were the times, so shamefully stupid, so criminally selfish one or two of the mightier kings of capital, so desperate the demagogues, so pitiable the plight of industry. But recent events, children of Providence, have relieved conditions for a quarter of a century at least. New markets nave been created for American labor to suoply. The liberation of Cuba, the annexation of Hawaii, the acquisition of Porto Rico, and, at the very least, a liberal government of the Philippines, where property shall be sale and commerce with this Republic free and untaxed, will furnish investment for Idle captital and work tor idle hands. The development of the incalculable resources of these lands, the furnishing of Hour, and beef, and tools, and implements, and clothing to the teeming millions that, under the protection of liberal laws justly enforced, will now pour into these rescued countries, will stimulate industry throughout the entire Republic, raise prices, increase wages, reward enterprise and so relieve the depression and allay the discontent which to-day is the chief danger in the road of industrial progress and social reforms. And if tins Nation perseveres in the policy which reason has for a generation counseled and which events now dictate—if we grasp and hold our share of the trade of Oceanica and the Orient, our share of the trade of the western hemisphere, our share of the commerce of the world —and our share is, the lion’s share good times may endure for a hundred years. This is tbe answer Providence has provided for immediate, for instantaneous industrial relief. The w'orld is at the feet of American labor. It means employment at noble wages for every workingman of the Republic—an advantage to gain or preserve which for her laborers any of the old powers of the world would willingly go to war. And when this vein of prosperity shall have been worked out; when again the industrial situation, in the natural course of things as they are to-day, would have become digested and all the evils of last year reproduced once more, sane methods will have been evolved, better conditions will have grown out of experience. natural and healthful reforms will have been consummated, the brotherhood of employer and employe wfill have been established. so that without violence, without bloodshed, without the methods of destruction society may move forward amid prosperity and happiness, working out according to nature’s methods improvement after improvement until in the divine hour toward which the universe moves perfection will have been achieved. “But progress must not cease in this breathing period God has given to society. Stagnation is as bad as violence. Indifference is as fatal as impatience. Thought, discussion and reason must go on. The hand of cautious wisdom must ceaselessly work

the changes justified by increasing civilization. Men who will do well their work must be chosen to care for the statute books—those supreme registers of wisdom or foily. No more needed word can be spoken this day than of him the people choose to act for them in the counsels of the commonwealth and the Republic. The man who represents a special interest is disqualified from holding office in a republic. The agents of special interests have no business in legislative halls dedicated to the welfare of all. They are the seed of classes, and classes in a republic arc tbe dragon’s teeth, certain to produce at last a harvest of destruction. Princes of wealth who get into politics to play at statesmanship and who stand for unjust advantage of unwise capital, demagogues who wear poverty as a garment and practice the profession of agitation—both are equally dangerous to a government of the people, for the j>eople and by the people.' Henry George, one of the loftiest minds and noblest characters that ever lived, summed up his life in these immortal words: 'I am not the friend of the wealthy classes. 1 am not the friend of the laboring classes, I am not the friend of any class—l am the friend of man.’ ” The speech-making closed with the remarks of William Yoehum. of Muncie, the Socialistic labor party’s candidate for secretary of state. Mr. Yoehum declared that the present system of society is all wrong and he thinks the only remedy is an entire change. He said he appreciated the remarks of the gentlemen who had preceded him. but felt that the socialist's side of the question should be presented. • ELWOOD IN 1599. The Labor-day committee, which is composed of delegates from the different unions over the State, met at 4 o'clock and selected Elwood as the next place for holding the Labor-day demonstration. There was no opposition to the choice. Several telegrams from prominent men of the town were read to the committee. Each message contained some inducement to come to Elwood. One telegram was from the chief of police and another came from the mayor. The city's chief executive promised, if Elwood were selected for the demonstration next year, that there would be no police court on that day. The mayor's message was cheered. The new labor-day officers will be elected in this city on the second Sunday in January. Following is the local committee which had charge of the arrangement of details for Labor day: Robert E. Gross, chairman; Rudolph Manzey, vice president; Edgar A. Perkins, treasurer; William Ewald, secretary; J. Freitag, assistant secretary. Following were the sub-committees: On credentials, Edgar A.

Padden, Charles Raster, Frank Noral. Complain of tlic Police. There was considerable indignation among the labor organizations yesterday on account of the failure of the police to afford proper protection along the line of march. It is said that some or the organizations will protest to Mayor Taggart over the failure of the police officers to properly guard the line of march. Aside from the platoon of police that marched at the head of the column, there was no police supervision over the parade whatever. At the most crowded corners of the city there were no police officers to keep back the crowds and at many points the marchers were overthronged and had to elbow a passageway by main force, so it is claimed. One of the marshals said that he only saw two police officers along the wdiole line of march. On Monument place there was not an officer in sight and it was almost impossible for the labor organizations to get through the dense crowds. The street cars broke into the parade at frequent intervals. At the corner of Capitol avenue and Washington street one of the lamp men of the Electric Light Company insisted on lowering one of the arc lamps while the parade was passing, seriously interfering with the marchers. POSTPONED TILL TO-NIGHT. Track Too Wet at Xowliy Oval for the ISiK Machines. Although the track seemed in fair shape the stars and the majority of pacemakers who were to take part in the big ten-mile paced race at Newby Oval did not care to contest last night on the damp track and consequently the “Plugger Bill” Martin vs. Harry Gibson match will be run off tonight. Unlike ordinary events, the paced match requires triplets, quads and quints and the men were doubtful whether they could hold the turns. The contest to-night will be for a purse of S7OO and there will be thirty men on multicycles to pace the contest. Martin and Gibson will work out behind the pacemakers this morning and this afternoon will be seen in parade. Leaving the Denison House at 2 o'clock, the stars of the big contest will ride in a carriage, followed by their teams of pacemakers. They will make a tour of the city, returning to the track in time for the races. All tickets out will be good for to-night, while the advance sale will continue at Hill’s in the Denison House. The gates will open at 7 o'clock and the races will start promptly at 8:30. The mnch-talked-of telegraph boys' race will be the second event on the programme, while the paced race will come off about 9:30. arrangements will be the same for the soldiers, and any man who comes up in a uniform of Uncle Sam will be granted free admittance. colonel Studebaker has promised that many of the boys will be allowed to attend.
