The Michigan legislature has passed a bill, which has been signed Tjy Gov ernor Pingree, giving the City of De troit the power to purchase and oper 'ate. all its street car lines. This is en couraging, let the good work go on. Mayor Jones,1 of Toledo, Ohio, has been re-elected. He was defeated for the Republican nomination and ran as an independent. Mayor Jones is one of our most advanced thinkers, in fact he claims to be a Socialist and puts his ideas ill to practice whenever-- and. wherever possible, under existing cir eumstances. This is an encouraging victory. When some petty criminal refuses to answer the question of an attorney he is instantly fined or sent to jail for contempt.

The biggest scoundrel always wins and justice is a farce. Some of the active members of an Episcopal church in California haa partially, arranged for a "living pic ture" entertainment. but two vestry men *\vere so horrified that the enter tainment was dropped altogether.- The best "living picture" study for church people would" be the slums as con trasted with the palaces.

The more the "embalmed beef" in vestigation continues, the blacker be comes Alger's and Eagen's crime againdt our soldiers. It has been dem onstrated, beyond possibility of doubt, that the food was unfit-for either man or beasfi That it caiised more deaths than the., bullets of th6 "enemy is cer tain. Yet Eagen has been rewarded willi a life pension, and a compliment any letter from the president, while Alger remains in the cabinet and is given carte blanche to snub the map who (lareil to expose the infamy. Bills are -now before the Massa chusetts and New Jersey legislatures to abolish the1 death penalty, and the question 'is being earnestly discussed and considered in several other states. ,People of advanced ideas of all creeds are favoring this reform. Of course, like all reforms, it must be brought about in a democratic way, not by force, but. by the democratic express ion of the popular voice. We are in the habit of looking upon our Spanish American neighbors as behind us in de velopment, but in most of the Central and South American republics, capital punishment was abolished long ago. The cause of govevument ownership oE railroads and other public monopo lies has recently received support from an unexpected quarter. In his recent report, General Longstreet, United States railroad commissioner, recom mends the governement construction and operation of a double track rail way from San Diego on the Pacific coast, to Kansas City or St. Louis, a measure, which he urges, is not only DULUTH THE FAVORITE OF THE FAMILY. warranted, but demanded bv the ex tension of our commerce, certain to result from The annexation ol (he Ha waiian Islands, and our probaitlc con ti'ol oi the Philippines. Carter Harrison Jr., has been re elected mayor of Chicago. Ex-Gover nor John IV Altgeld was a candidate for the same office and in speaking of his defeat and the election of Mr. Har rison, he said: "One reason for the election of Mr. Harrison was that the press supported him almost without exception and the great Republican papers were on his side. Why did the Republican papers support Harrison? The reason is not hard to find. They saw that Mr. Har rison had already betrayed the Demo cratic party as he had it in his power to do, and he will carry the betrayal :i great deal further and thus make the re-election of McKinley a certain ty. The Republicans look on this fight as tlie battle of 1900 and feel that the re-election of Mr. Harrison already seals the result of the next, presidential campaign." Australia seems to be keeping the lead which it took several years ago in the direction of government owner ship of public monopolies. Among the measures now before parliament Xe.v South Wales is one for the establish ment of national collieries sufficient to supply the requirements of the gov ernment service. The experience oC the city of Sidney with tramways un der cit3r ownership has been remark able, even from the point of view of profits to the city. In 1888 these tram ways paid less than two per cent, while in 1898- the net profit was more than five and a half per cent. Official in quiry now under way in New South Wales is directed to establish as far as possible the relations between wage-' and rents. The result of this inquiry is likely to have an important effect on the demand for increased wages. It is estimated that the average de duction from a laborer's income for rent, amounts to twenty-five per cent in Australia. The proportion is about the same in this country, and very little reflection will serve to show that this proportion must be regarded as excess ive The balance must be struck, and if it cannot be arrived at by reduction of rents, it must be met by an in crease of wages. A Private Army. The railroad employes of the state of Indiana will perhaps not be in a position to remonstrate against)the next wage reduction. There has been introduced, by a member of the senate, presumably at the request of the rail way corporations, a bill which provides for the arming of hired thugs and "loyal" employes during a strike. Should this bill become a law, and the employes of a road strike against wage reduction, the company would imme diately hire and equip an army of thugs to shoot and Kill right and left. Another bill has been introduced in this state in addition to this corpora tion army bill. It is an effort to foisl upon railway employes of the state of Indiana a law depriving them of the rights of a citizen in suits for damages sustained by personal injuries. The bill is in the blind of a relief associa tion, that is to be legalized in all of its pharisical philanthropy. The bill gives the right to the railway companies to create and maintain relief associations, and gives the right to employers to participate therein, and then makes it impossible for a beneficiary of such relief association to recover damages from the employing company for per sonal injuries. Tennyson'ii Vision. "When the schemes and all the'sys tems, kingdoms and republics fall, Something kindlier, higher, holier—all for each and each for all, All the full-brain races, led by Justice, Love and Truth All the millions one at length with all the visions of my youth, All diseases quenched by science, no man halt, or deaf, or blind Stronger ever born of weaker, lustier body, large mind. Earth at last a warless world, a single race, a single tongue— I have seen her far away—for is not earth as yet so young?— Every tiger madness muzzled, every serpent passion killed, Every grim ravine a garden, every blaz ing desert tilled. Robed in universal harvest up to either pole she smiles, Universal ocean softly washing all her warless isles." —Alfred, Lord Tennyson. PURE,, SWEET NUTRITIOUS. IMPERIAL FLOUR. Snap Shots. lly S. Goodwin. A certain Mr. Daggett, of Hear Creek, Wisconsin, and incidentally a member of the legislature for that sta'te, has made a bold bid for fame by the intro duction of a joint resolution looking to the prohibition of tight lacing. lie proposes a commission to be made up of three members of the assembly anti one of the senate to draft and intro duce a bill prohibiting tight lacing. Mr. Daggett says he is serious about the matter, and intends to push it to a successful end. If there were no other than the hum orous side of this question, it might be in order to inquire just how the peace officers were to find which of the ladies in their respective districts were laced beyond the proper degree of tight ness and how said officers were to pro ceed in case a victim were ever found bold enough to defy the mandates of the law? This, however, is a question of too much gravity to be so treated, it toadies very near to the fundamentals of our government. All are agreed that this is a crisis in our national history, the problems before our law makers, both foreign and domestic, were never graver, and if at a time like this the working out of our insti tutions entrusts the responsibilities of legislation to men of the calibre of Daggett, from Bear Creek, we may well question the soundness of those insti tutions. Far be it from us to decry the importance of the buffoon. He has always had his part to play in history and probably always will, but we can not help a reigret that any of the tribe should appear in the conduct of any portion of our public affairs at so im portant a time. Such fakirs as Bradstreet's and Dun's so-called "commerical agencies" must take the people of this country to be fools—to use plain language. Iii tlieir made-to-order "reports" of the present day they see great prosperity spread ing its wings over the whole country, 'and all on account of the Republican tariff and the Republican gold stand ard and "confidence.'' In their flights of foolishness they say that the great prosperity of the present time is equa! to that of 1892—and here is where they certainly take the people to be fools, if they wish to convey the idea that there was any great prosperity for the peo ple in 1892. Bradstreet's reports for that year show business failure amounting to $114,000,000. It was dur ing that year that numerous strikes and lockouts and reductions of wages occurred, and many laborers were brutally murdered by Pinkerton thugs. The great Homestead strike occurred also during that year of so-called pros perity. General Henry, commanding at Porto Rico, has order— that children shall not appear naked in the streets. The Sacramento Bee remarks that this is running the government t-.ere "to •suit the prudish prejudices of a lot of cackling old hens," modesty being really a matter of geography. The priestly mouth-piece of New York's "four hundred," Rev. Morgan Dix, lately babbled out regarding the motives for the enthusiasm animating the so-callled higher spheres of so ciety. He frankly admitted that a standing army was a necessity for the internal as well as the external foe. He said: "As long as there are labor leaders who carry on an incendiary propagan da among the working masses ancl cause riots and strikes, as long as there are anarchists, who incite the noil-, possessing class against the possessing class, we need the protection of the state as represented by militarianism." The Christian gentleman is mora honest than his followers, who are ad vocating the increase in the army for "humanity." The situation is simple enough. Militarianism is to protect the wealth of the corproations, finan ciers and monopolists against the un comfortable crowding of the starving. The wider the chasm between the starving masses and the appropriators of wealth the greater the danger of the downfall of the existing system of spoilation that has been perfected to such nicety. By the brutal means of militarism this monopolistic collapse is to be prevented. Six more regiments have been or dered to proceed to Manilla imme diately and "take up the white man's burden." Does the government intend to send all our soldiers out of the country and leave us no one to protect our institutions and liberties? How ever, all patriots should rejoice that we still have Sheriff Martin and his deputies with us. In spite of the late spring and the cold weather the trust, crop is looking remarkably well in every state in the union. The president's rotten beef commis sion returned to Washington from its pleasant junketing trip through th. tiortb. greatly improved in health and spirits. The whole affair is being man aged very nicely. BOOMING There is Some Reason-- IMerchandise....

A meeting of the Brotherhood of Brilermakers & Troll Shipbuilders was held Monday evening-. Superior Typographical union failed to have a quorum at Sunday's meet ing, therefore no business was trans acted. The journeyman tailors met in regu lar session Monday evening. The retail clerks have completed ar rangements for their grand ball which will be given the 22d of this month. Thursday evening a special meeting of the Trades and Labor Assembly was held in the Hammond block for the purpose of discussing the early closing movement with the retail merchant and the clerks. Quite a number of prominent merchants were present and the situation was thoroughly g-one over although nothing definite was agreed upon. For some time it has been the ru'e of the majority of the storekeeper" to close at 0:30 with the exception of two nights in the week. This is ac ceptable to the clerks but the mer chants want all the stores to do the some and this is wlhere the trouble lies. The stores in the lower portion of the town are the ones that are caus ing all the trouble at the oresent time. Some of the stores on lower Tower close at the early hour, but many oth ers do not ant) the attempt, is now being made to have them all close. Th^ merchants who do close early lose great deal of business when the other sieves keep open late, and it seems that if one store is open the others must be or lots of the trade is lost. As a general thing the merchants are nleasol wt+h the rrood work done by the clerks under the early closing DEPT. WEDDING, RECEPTION* PARTY and school invitations engraved in the finest manner.

They say that the clerks do more work and do it bettor than they did with longer hours, and all seem dis posed to continue the early closing agreement if the other stores can be forced to 'do likewise. For a few months in the year the stores must b§ open evenings, however, in,order to catch the various kinds of Irade. To this the clerks have no ob jections, but fhey do insist that they be given shorter hours (during the re maining months. No decision on the matter was reach ed last evening, but a' meeting of the assembly will be held next Sunday and before tlia-t time an effort will be made to get all the stores into the agree ment. Committees will work with the obdurate ones and use some telling arguments. Hon. C. A. Tonne Goes Abroad to Write for a Mngrazine. Hon. Charles A. Towne will leave to day for Europe.
