The best men in all sections of the country are striving to devise a fair and honorable method to abate the tendency to strikes and lockouts. Strikes have become so numerous in «very department ef industry that thousands of innocent people are suffering from these emeutes be tween labor and capital. All sorts of methods have thus far been sug gested and tried, and have been found unavailing. Everybody ad mits the evil, and the great loss which it occasions to thousands of persons, and thus the general com munity suffers severely and unjust ly, while it really has no direct in terest in the matter in controversy. The strike fever has not only become an annual but a monthly disease in the United States, and therefore any just remedy which will abate or avert these periodic outbreaks will prove a blessing to the while nation. Most of the strikes commence with Severs which have been ingeniously fanned by labor agitators who re ceive a fixed salary for the commo tion which they ingeniously create, and therefore they have no special object in avoiding a strike or lock out. }/t During the past year Connecticut has been torn up by strikes or luck y, outs in almost every department of industry. As a consequence nearly All the people have suffered in a .greater or less degree by this con flict between labor and capital. The £v.l. Connecticut Legislature is now in session, and a bill has been proposed, P?/ with good prospects of its passage, to avert or abate strkes by the laborers on the one hand and lock ots by capitalists on the other. This 1)ill proposes that no stirke ~can be declared by a labor union and no lockout by employers until after Jfifteen days' written notice has been 8 4 VAN BRUNT &-W'LKI 3 MFG.CO O if is -.i -ir»' The Reputation of the is above reproach.

Either party breaking the law can be personally punished by fine or imprisonment before a judicial tribunal. In other words, the demands that fifteen days of grace shall be exhausted by either labor or capital before the semi-civil war commences. In those fifteen days a deal can be done by both sides to compromise and settle their differences without the fierce alternative of strikes. When both the contending parties have time to think and consider what is best to be done they will likely come to some understanding before the fifteen days have expired. Recently a great. strike was averted among the papermakers of Wisconsin hy simply declaring a truce for one week, and during that truce arrangements were made to go on with the work for one year under a modus vivendi. Thus, really a serious calamity to the state and the people was avoided. That was done by mutual agreement, and to the satisfaction of all concerned. In Connecticut it is an agreement under the sanction of law and con tending parties can be punished if they violate the law.

Man. •f 'x HirVpt KM againts such a law because it takes away their vocation and renders them in a measure harmless. The country has reached that degree of industrial progress that something must be done to abate the warlike emeutes between labor and capital, for the whole country sufferers from this semi-civil war. During the salveholders1 rebellion it was recog nized that ten of thousands of in dividuals who had nothing to do with the inception of the war suffer ed much more severely than' the secession agitators of the North and South who stirred up the flames of that horri ole conflict, which raged so fiercely for four years, destroying 500,000 lives and wasting 15,000,000 000 of treasure before blessed peace came again. We repeat, something must be done, and it can be done legally, to avert strikes and lockouts, and then honest and peaceful industry will be more sure of its reward when it is striking to support households, wives and children, through the labor of the head of the family.— Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin. R. M. Field in the Chicago Even ing Post: Our venerated leader ad dressed an "assembly of representa tive democrats" at Kansas City yes terday, and distinguished himself by that impassioned oratory which has on for his such recognition from our party and won for us two glori ous defeats. We do not know who the representatives democrats were, for the party in Missouri just now is mush scattered owing to the per sistent ill manners of Prosecutor Folk, of St. Louis, and the notoriety attending certain private financial transactions. But Mr. Bryan was iu fine fettle and made a telling speech against the arch traitor, Cleveland, and his followers, who violated our noblest traditions in 1884 and again in 1892. At the conclusion of Mr. Bryan's magnicfient oration Senator Stone said a few words in support of "harmony," which he pleaded was necessary, though undemo cratic. It is fair to Mr. Bryan to say that he, too, is decidedly in favor of harmony provided the "disgraceful conspirators" will har monize with him, and that he is ready at anytime to receive over tures of^peace and offers of fealty. "i.7A*'SK V-'T V$.? A (IOL A Altogether, the meeting was eminentlv successful, and shows very clearly that our factions are now as far apart as the traditons and principles of democrcy demand, and that we are firmly established in the path that leads to one of our enjoyable and time honored lick ings. With Bryan marking out the Way and spurring us on to a sense of our obligations we cannot fail to lose. Collier's Weekly: As the vigor ous trial and prompt decu ion in the Northern Securities case are un doubtedly due to the president, our attention is again called to the kind of executive who now heads this government. Roosevelt has few resemblances to any of the men who have proceeded him in office. He belongs-to the popular and efficient type yet he is utterly unlike his leading predecessor in that type. President Jackson was more original than Mr. Roosevelt has shown ihuch ability to learn. It may be M^. Hay, Mr. Knox or Mr. Root who thinks out an intellectual problem, but it is Mr. Roosevelt who employs these men and largely makes their ideas effective. Anybody who remembers the tone of his observa tions on the Venezuela affair of 1895, and compares it with the Moderate and tactful conduct of the recent complications, will appreciate how Mr. Roosevelt has ripened. He is no longer looked upon, outside of Wall street and the headquarters of political bosses, as a danger. He has pert his energy and improved his judgement. He may have said one thing about the tariff or the trusts last year and another thing today, but it only means that he is going earnestly but cautiously along, un der the best advice, to execute right and extirpate wrong. Mr. Mc Kinley had rare tact and so much ability to learn that he pi'ogressed in a few years from silver to gold, from relentless protection to an en lightened view of protection but he v^ould hardly have had the force to do as much as Mr. Roosevelt has done, toward capital, toward labor, toward Cuba. Mr. Cleveland is one of the largest and most honorable figures in the story of our country since the war—one who will be much praised by historians but he FARM MACHINERY VEHICLES. a O W in to in Monitor Double Disc Drills are the only double disc that has went through the gumbo of Canada and California seccessfully A full line of Drills, Drags, Disc Har rows, Spading Harrows, Broadcast Seed ers, Hay Tools, Binders, Mowers, Binding Twine, and th0 largest assortment of Ex tras to be found in Southern Minn. Successor to J. D. had, with his courage and his bull dog patience, a lack of tact that limited his utility. He saved the currency and he raised the moral tbne of politics, but he would have done more had he ^possessed Mr. Roosevelt's adaptability, his read iness to yield little points in order to gain large ones, his unexpected but notable ability to take part in team play. It now looks as if, with six years ahead, the president would leave a remarkable record of good work accomplished. BROTHERHOOD OF SAINT PAUL. Jos. W.

The girls in a large department store are, as a rule, carefully watch ed, not only in the sfore, but out of it. The buyer of each deparment knows pretty well the habits of his salesladies knows how much it costs them to live and how they spend their evenings. It is easy for him to get the information, not merely through the store detectives but ,in many other ways. The buyer is, a rule, a tolerant person who cares only for two things namely,x that girls "deliver the goods,"—i.e., that tbeymake big "books"—and that they appear re spectable. If they stay out so late at night that they do not reacn the store promptly in the morning they may be dischai'ged, transferred from one department to another, or merely not rise in tbe way of salary —depending on the degree of their misdemeanor. -If the girl's book is unsatisfactory, she is simply, dis charged or transferred, and no reason is given, but if she is wise, she knows the reason why. If, on the other hand, the girl is a good seller, the buyer will excuse & great deal in the way of irregularity of habits. As long as a girl sticks closely to business, she is allowed a great deal of freedom but when her "book" begins to suffer, it is time for her to "look out.'' mm I: V-- .•/» is ISsli*
