Mayor Hugo Has Bctanei Mid Has Chan«ed the Whole Political Sit uation—There will Be at Least Five Candidates Before the Pri maries—Aldermanie Contests Are Getting Lively. Politics is still the topic of discussion on the streets, in the offices, and in the corridors of hotels. "Who will be the! next mayor?" "Don't know, guess there will be a hot fight." And that's all the information that can be got from those who ought to know. Occasionally a little group will be found here and there discussing the question. According to these there are plenty of candidates. Mayor Hugo re turned during the week, and there has been less talk about new candidates since his return. It Is funny how some people will take advantage of a person when he is out of town. The mayor is not saying a word, but is sawing wood like a good fellow. Everything in his attitude and appearance indicates that: he will be in the race with both feet. Captain Stevens is working quietly. Captain Lewis still has his ear to the ground. William Getty has been sprung, "Tine" Daughterty is being urged. There you have it. That's the political situation, so far as the Republicans are concerned, in a nut shell. It is safe to say that on the night of the primaries there will be but two candidates in the field. The Democrats will not be so for tunate. Doctor Murray has done too much work to pull out at this late day. Any one who knows Truelsen, knows how he pulls out of a race. He is the best single-handed political fighter that ever stepped into the political ring. Frank Crassweller's friends will not permit him to withdraw, and so the people have got to choose from the three of them. Each candidate is get ting up an organization. Truelsen is visiting among his friends and repair ing his fences in general. Mr. Crass weller is rather bashful about this but his friends are lining up just the same. There is not much talk of an inde pendent ticket Just now. Possibly the powers that be have fixed this up with the dissenters from, the straight and narrow road of partisanship^ There is a thousand honorable ways of influence ing men in politics to get into line* The aldemianlc contests will not be devoid of interest. Alderman Rother mell of the First ward has enough and will decline to run again. We wish he felt the same way about hiring non-un ion plumbers. It is said that J. D. Al len will be the Democratic candidate in the first this year. In the Second ward no new candidates have been mentioned. In the Third ward Joseph Mannheim has filed his certificate with the county auditor. His is the first filed under the new law. We hope he will be the first at the polls. In the Fourth Thos. Trevillion, as usual, has everything his own way. In the Fifth ward there !s the usual Scarcity of Democratic aldermanie timber. Alderman Johnson will have no opposition for the Republican nomi nation. In the sixth Alderman OlesOn will find that he has a hard fight on his hands for the nomination. August Thoren, president of the Scandinavian Temperance Union will not run as an independent candidate, but will try for Mr. Oleson's scalp. Edward Kris is working quietly for votes on the Social ist ticket. The Democrats are still looking for a candidate. In the Seventh ward Alderman Haven is assured of the Republican nomina tion, while Joe Nylander is looking for the Democratic support. In the eighth Alderman Cochrane will be opposed by either David Sang or W. E. Kern. It will be remembered that Mr. Kern was a candidate against Alderman Swenson last year. BUILDERS' Hold LABORERS. V,S Meeting aii Adopt Their Constitution. Last Saturday evening we completed the organization of the Builders' La borers' union. In spite of the incle mency of the weather there was a large attendance. The committee appointed to draft a constitution and bv-iaws reported, and the constitution was adopted as recom mended by the committee. James Quigley was elected to represent the union in the Building Trades Council, and George Hyatt will represent it in the Trades Assembly. Many of the members of this union have been members of like organiza tions before in larger cities. Mr. Har bour, its secretary, was at one time a member of a like union in New York. In all our experience as an organizer we never instituted a union that gave such promise of sucess as. this one. The officers and members are entering into the work with a vigor, and the consti tution adopted at the last meeting was the best we have read for some time. Another meeting will be held this even ing at which the election of officers will occur. MARINE WORKMEN. The marine engineers and captains are about finishing their season's, work, and are getlng ready to tie up their boats. The past few days of cold weather has hastened the close of the season.

ARCHBISHOP CORRIGAN DENOUNCES SOCIALISM IN*TROXG TERMS. He Cosfouda Christianity With Chnrchanltyjfays Socialists Are Opposed to Christianity—Social ists Ave' Endeavoring to Bring About the Trflfc Brotherhood of Man, as Was cached by Christ. Archbishop Corr^tn of the Roman CothOlic Church, preached last Sunday in the study of th« St. Patrick's Ca thedral of New Ypfx on socialism. He denounced it in mpst forcible terms, and said that socialism would not pro mote fraternitythat only Christ ianity would that Socialists from time immemorial, had .vbeen opposed to Christianity. His f,1P*ace is. evidently confusing Christianity with cburchian ty, A true sociali^lc condition woyld bring the people into a state of brother hood like that pleached by Jesus Christ. Socialists |are and must be Christians of this t§pe. A true social ist can not be an infidel. If socialism will bring about a brotherhood of man, then its adherents must recognize a fatherhood to a common brotherhood. It is true that manjg so-called socialists are infidels, but thfse cannot be con sistent with their Juliets unless they recognize a Father jpf mankind. Archbishop Corrigin's speech recalls to our mind the interview with Senator Hanna in the Chicago Inter Ocean of December first last !which was as fol lows: "We have saved the country again," said a. thoughtful friend, "but tremble for thc& future. Sooner or later we're goihg tohave a tremendous struggle in this country between the forces of conservation on one side and socialism on the otlier, and I am afraid socialism may earrjf the day." 'I am not a bit Ifraid of that," re plied Mr. Hanna, "and I'll tell you why, There are two things that will prevent it. One is the American school system the other is the Roman Catholic church. That great churchf is just as much against socialism -jui the Protestant churches, as I happen to know, and in the last campaign,^-appeals to class hatred were frowned upon by the high est dignitaries and Most influential men of the Catholic organization. As long as this restraining^ force continues to operate you need ipve no fear of so* ciallsm dominating America." The Archbishop'dfeapeech can in no way give the impr^prtep his Ylew«„ strong advocates of socialism, among whom is Father ojGrady, of Kentucky, at the present time the most valiant ecclesiastical champion ,of popular rights in the Uhited States. He has issued a challange to the archbishop and it is hoped that it wlll 'be accept ed, because the question aV issue be tween these officers of thet church is one that is badly in need of Elucidation. The challenge is as follows: To the Most Rev. M., A. Corrigan Archbishop of New York: Your Grace: While sincerely griev ing over the murder of President Mc Kinley with the great body of social ists in America, I cannot, in justice to the truth, pass by the unfair infer ence of your letter of the 14th inst., which is, in a sense, a npblic document by reason of its wide diffusion. in the daily paper. To the average reader of that letter you seem to implicate so cialism in the crime against the presi dent when you request your clergy "to impress on the faithful the constant teachings of our holy father, Leo XIII., against the errors of socialism."' I therefore respectfully challenge* your grace to show wherein socialism errs. The Catholic Church championed so cialism for four hundred years until capitalism succeeded in winning the high places and poured its corrupting gold into her coffers. The Pope's en cyclical has no dogmatic value in vi$w of the fact that it is not the work of faith and morals, but merely the opin ion of Joachim Pecci as a writer on social economics. My love for the Catholic chruch is too .profound to al low me to keep silent when such a dis tinguished representative of the lowly Nazarene' condemns a righteous move ment for the liberation of the toiling masses from the bondage of Industrial serfdom. I will go' to New York and pay rent of the hall on any date it. may suit your grace's cdnvenience to debate this vital question. Trusting that your grace will not shirk the issue, I am, respectfully yours, T. GRADY,, Pastor of St. Anthony's Church, Bele vue, Kentucky. A SAD VISIT. Death Archie McDongall Called to Bed of His Brother. Archie McDougall, one of the oldest members of the Plumbers' union in the city, was called to .. the home of his parents in Chicago Wednesday,. on ac count of the serioufc lllness of his bro ther Daniel, who haaj been affiliated for a number of years' with a lingering sickness. The news received by him conveyed the s*d Intelligence that Daniel was near death's door, and that he could not possibly survive tlie week. Daniel was well known in Duluth where he lived during his boyhood dayst He learned the plumbing, trade here, after which l*e traveled, consider ably throughout the country. He has at one time prominentin base ball cir cles, when he was tlie crack fielder of the old Duluth base ball duty this was twelve years ago. Although his many friends knew of his affiliation, they will regret to hear that the end will come «o soon. LABOR WINS SAN FRANCISCO ELECTS A TRADE UNION MAYOR. Organised Labor Driven Into Poll tics Succeeds is Electing One of Its Members Mayors-Opposed By a Labor Paper, By Several. Organ lgations, and Prominent Leaders He Carries Off the Palm. Organized labor in San Francisco has been triumphant. Last summer the employes of the city locked put every member of a labor organisation in the city. In a short time business was- at a standstill. The Golden Gate was laden with ships unable to move, factories were closed, and the shops were silent. The lockout last for weeks. Several attempts were made to arbi trate the differences, but failed, until the governor of the state, who refused to send state troops to the scene of the lockout, insisted that both sides sub mit the questions Involved to arbitra tion. His advice was followed and an agreement was reached. Immediately after, an election was to occur. Union labor got together and nominated a full ticket, consisting, only, of trade unionists. The result of the election was that a member of the Musicians' union was elected mayor. During the campaign several organi zations condemned the union labor tick et. The Building Trades Council pub lished its disapproval as follows: "The Building Trades Council desires to im press upon every trades union man con nected with the building industry that this municipality is best governed when public servants selected from the entire community without regard to any par ticular class." A labor paper called the "Star," also opposed the ticket, and supported the Democratic nominee, who was snowed under terribly. This paper's excuse for opposing the ticket was as follows: "As an earnest advocate of trade un ionism, we point out the mistake and danger of such a narrow policy. We want no class to rule over San Francis co and the way to prevent that is to have all classes represented As we would not support a man simply be cause he Is a member of the Mer chants' Association,.so we will not sup port a man simply because he is a member ot a trade union, although our Sympathy is with trade unions and our support has always been given tb them." .• A ®umber of prominent trade unlon-:bfp| Pipi labor succeeded In electing its jftayor. Andrew Fureseth. of the Sean^eQ'-s union 7 one of the braineSt men in the American labor movement gave the es sence of the fight in a nut shell. He said "During the lockout members of labor organizations were attacked and assaulted on the streets by special po licemen and hirelings of the Employ ers' Association. We appealed to the chief of police, but our appeals, were ignored. We next went to the Police Commission, who treated us no better. We called upon the mayor who refused to do anything, and when the grand Jury was in session we went before it, and found to our surprise, that the president of the Employers' Association was chairman of the grand jury. Here we- found the employing class thorough ly represented in the government of the city, and while I am opposed to any class rule in gevernment, if we are to have class rule, I say give us the work ing class." The employers of San Francisco unit ed to crush the organizations of labor. It is often hinted in the press that there have been suggestions for the unity of the employers in many other cities for the purpose of crushing labor. Let all who propose such a move take a les son from San Francisco. Successful attempts may be made to temporarily crush labor and its organi zations. The strong arm of the law may be used, or rather misused, for ac complishing this purpose, but the re action is usually strong. Labor can vote, and vote with a vengeance, and wo, behold the persecutors' of honest toil. The mayor elect is a safe and- con servative man. This is a fortunate fact, not only for the city, but for or ganized labor as well. Ante election cries may be raised about "class rule," but it is only when a workiiigman is a candidate that such cries are heard. There are some people who think? that all any working man knows is how to work, hence when he occupies a public office he is blinded to everything else except the working man and his needs. Be not deceived. If we mistake not, justice will be done. What's good for the workingman ought to be good for every one else, for upon his success and prosperity depends the prosperity of all. LUMBER PILERS' UNION. Affiliate With the International Longshoremen's Association. A The Lumber Pliers' union held a very largely attended meeting last Sunday afternoon, and the entire membership was sworn into the International Long shoremen's Association by ,. Gordon O'Neill of that organisation's executive board. This was one of the agreements made by the union when it was admitted in to the State Federation of Labor. At the time of their organization they could not get a charter from the Long shoremen's Association until theitvMi^ trolled a majority of the wbrk. Now they have all but about twenty lumber pliers In the city, and their affiliation with the Longshoremen insure* tbifcm success. v" ii fHiUMKHRtMl BEGINS BUSINESS UNDER THE MOST FAVORABLE AUSPICES. Starts Up Monday With W. F. Marlc in Charge—Has Many Applica tions For Work, and Famishes Some—Intelligence Office For Wo men is Among the Things Plan ned—Bnrean is Becoming Popular. The free labor bureau began business Monday morning with W. F. Markus in charge. From the minute of its opening it has given even the most doubtful, hope for. its success. During first twenty-four hours of its existence it received forty applications for work, and furnished work for ten men. Mr. A. C. Volk receives the credit of being the first person who made application to the secretary oi the bureau for men. Its location so far from the center of the local labor market—the Union depot and the Bowery—works against the new agency, but in spite of that and strenuous opposition from other sources, the free bureau Is gaining a footing. The working men are patronizing it more than the employers of labor so far, but once the-employers become in terested the promoters of the free bureau predict a good future for it. The office is in the Armory building, Second avenue east and First street. It is a long way from Michigan street, Fifth avenue west and the Bowery, where the workingmen have been ac customed to look for work. Still quite a few of them find their way up to the Armory, and Manager W. F. Markus says the first day's work has kept him busy. The bureau is co-operating with those already established in Milwaukee and West Superior. It is to furnish em ployment to men and women without cost to the employe or employer. When the bureau becomes fully established a private office will be ar ranged for women applicants. The plans how under consideration are to go into the servant supply problem very thoroughly, and erideavor to sat isfy the great demand for cooks, maids, nurses, saleswomen, and cliorewomen. One citizen has made the suggestion that the agency would de well to send out literature through the state, and especially in the farming districts, so-, liclting applicants for household work. When the applications were-filed in the ^office, the housekeepers of Duluth could to the employment -office,, ahd get Ih this way it is clalmedtbat thegirls •Would not need to leave their homes in the country untlf they could come' direct to One in the city. In this way much temptation and undesirable asso ciations frequently thrust on friendless girls in cities would be avoided. There is another feature of the em ployment agency business by the city. Frequently laboring men get what they can out of an employment agency and then jump their contracts. That will hot be tolerated by the city. The muni cipal bureau will do what it, can to give employment without cost, but when a contract is broken the city ceases to become a friend. TYPOGRAPHICAL UNION. Holds Eventfnl Meeting and Elects New Delegates. The Typographical union held Its regular meeting last Sunday afternoon and fixed up all differences with C. H. Thornton. The shop is now employ ing union printers. It will be remem bered that the trouble in Thornton's establishment has been on for some time, and the news of the settlement is receiver with satisfaction among not only the labor organizations, but the business houses as well. E. Thompson and Elmer Haugen were elected fraternal delegates to the Sup erior local, which will also send dele gates to the Duluth union, William Moran was elected delegate'to the Trades Assembly to succeed Gus Win berg. Chas. Collier was reinstated to membership. CARPENTERS'UNION. for: Entertainment for Their Benefit Fund. The regular weekly meeting of the Carpenter's union last Tuesday evening was well attended.^ One application for membership was' received and a com mittee wks appointed to arrange for and entertainment for the benefit of three disabled members. The commit tee consists of J..W. Richardson, S. M. Keilley, Geo. Davjs and Frank Will ette. The entertainment will be given in the near future. A veteran member of the big. organization said that the union would .vote on P. J. McGulre's case next meeting and he' thought that the union would toe very magnan imous as he has earned, every dollar-for the carpenter's union. WILL BE A BIFR EVENT.
