CARPENTERS SOCIAL. !.
The Plane Men Entertain Some
Friends at Euclid Hall in
Neat Style.

The Carpenters sociable was well at
tended last SATURDAY. night at Euclid hall,
BY remembers of the union and their
families and others. The meeting was
opened with President Muirhead in the
the chair, and music on the piano by
Miss Matte Minor ]. D. Bailey was
then called on who delivered an address
of welcome, explaining the objects, aims,
etc, of the Brotherhood OF Carpenters,
After more music Mr.. R. G. Balcomb
was called on and addressed the audience
on the great necessity Of organization in
his usual humorous style, which was
greeted with applause.
Mr. Gilman read an article on perse-
verance which was very appropriate
Next was good song and music by
Mr.. Kinsman.
Mr.. George E. Grey read funny
poem-"The Old Times and the New"
Mr.. Frank Boyer presented the union
with beautiful wooden dish and a fruit
stand, which was ratified off at 10 cents a
chance. Mr.. Peter Donovan drew the
dish and Mrs. E. E. Rice the fruit stand
A table loaded down with refreshments
and (St. Johns drink) lemonade had
been prepared by the ladies, free to all
and was freely eaten.
Mr.. Minor commenced to play the
violin, accompanied by Mrs. Kinsman on
the piano, and gay waltz and dancing
was engaged in.
A beautiful cake was presented to the
union by Mrs. Minor with the initials
C. u, representation of a saw, ham
mer, ETC., on it, 1t was also ratified off,
and Mr.. Higgins was the lucky man to
draw the fine cake but Mr.. Higgins did
not get to carry that cake away. The
cry of 81 am hungry" all over the hall
was heard, so Mrs. Higgins sliced up that
cake, passed it around and it was soon
eaten. e." "
A vote of thanks was rendered to Mrs.
Minor for her donation, and to the >rnu-
sicans for their services. Three cheers
were given Mr.Frank Boyer for his dish
and fruit stand. Amount realized by
the raffles, $1240. Another merry dance
was engaged in.
The sociable was enjoyed hugely by all
present, and near the hour of midnight
all started for their homes perfectly sat-
isfed that the second sociable of Carpen-
ters' union No. 55, was grand success,
so much so that they have decided to
have ~sociable once month during the
winter The second regular meeting in
each month is set apart for that purpose
in order to have good time and build
UP the union.

none other than political significance
it would never have been written. But
the Irish World has higher mission
than the dirty work of partisan cam
paign, and that is why The ENQUIRER
feels disappointed with the latest issue
of Mr.. Ford's paper. in which he says
he would ado the same thing over again
if the same situation were presented
The Irish World supported Blaine, 50
it says, because Cleveland represented
the '.free trade British policy !" policy
detrimental to the American working
men. In Gods name. who and what
does Blaine represent? If not free
trade" something thousand times more
disastrous to the producers of the world
Ia monopoly power which is grinding
the poor to powder.
The whole truth is, that Mr.. Ford al
lowed his spite to override his principle
and be tried 10 whip the democratic
party over Englands shoulders, and vice
versa. He properly belonged with the
Peoples party, and he publicly an
nounced that General Butler was the
representative of his views, but because
this same corrupt free trade" party
would not heed his threats and endorse
Butler, Mr.. Ford deserted him and In
dulged his spite. Every ar-headed
champion thought thousand-fold more
of Butler after he had shaken the dust
of the democratic party from his gar
ments at Chicago, and they supported
him without hope of present victory. 1t
would seem that Patrick Ford, who has
been fighting losing battles for principle
all his life, could do as much ?
The Irish World could have supported
Butler and there never would have been
the least disafection from its supporters,
How is it now? And IN what way has
the cause advocated by the Irish World
been benefited by the result of the elec-
tion, whether Blaine or Cleveland is to
be PRESIDENT .-s.. 'Ea. T.
Mr.. Ford can take his time to answer
this query.

ONE BYoNE THE ROSES FALL,

This don't seem to be a good winter
for weekly publications in. Colorado
The frosts of adversely which seem to
ever follow closely on the heels of po-
litical campaign, have stung to death two
of Denyer's weakly prints. The Great
West, that sheet of lightning changes
and unpaid composition bills. has fol-
lowed the summer suit of the l0,cent
dude and been hung up on a hook in
the safe deposit" of Uncle" Joe Metzler,
and no more will the festive newsboy
chill the blood of ng-sufering public
with his cry of Gall about the exposure
of the terrible sins of Brick Pomeroy"
The late manager" of the inferred sheet
has torn himself away from a mourning
constituency, and a too-trusting grocery
man, so report has it, and has sailed out
IN search of new worlds to conquer and
peoples to fleece. Let him go; this
paper will not tbC-S a stone after him,
but pities the spot where he hangs out.
The Inter. Ocean has had to yield to
the pressure of hard times, after gallant
struggle. There Will be some regret at
this announcement, for the 1nter-Ocean
was nice, clean paper. lis demise,
however, was not unnatural, for it had
no legitimate field and no apparent mis-
sion the labor expended upon it was
lost to society, and we are slowly begin
ming to look at these things in the cor
rect light. The brains and physical
force which have been. wasted on the
er.Ocean might be applied in a di-
rection beneficial to the human race
the enlightenment of the producers of
the world. So 1t looks, at any rate, to
one of "those horrible Socialists"
/ must not forget the Queen Bee, that
spunky little champion of our sisters
and our cousins and our aunts. The
only change in the Bee is the location of
its hive, which has been removed from
the noisy racket of the business end of
the city, and the swarm now buzzes
meath the saccharine foliage of the
cactus out on Park avenue.
The Coal Creek Hawkeye has quit and
the Enterprise will hereafter appear as
theLabor Advocate. -.
And amidst all these cessations and
transmogrifcations THE ENQUIRER goes
out to hungry public, for the reason
able sum of 50 year, appearing once in
each week at the homes of is readers.
1t has a mission, one that steels the
nerves and stiffens the backbone of its
publisher in times of suspension cpl
denies" else it, too, would have fallen.
Friends of the cause might remember
how hard it is to maintain a paper, and
do a little more than they are doing to
make the burden lighter and the worry
less. What do you think of it? 7

From an Old Denyerite.

A letter received by the editor from
Loomis Smith, formerly of this city, and
now living in Des Moines, Iowa, says ::
"The Des Moines Trades Assembly in
dorsed several candidates who were
Knights of Labor men, and although
they were successfully defeated, they
made good canvass when you consider
that this is the hot bed of frepublicanism
From dispatches have read, 1t looks as
if the Peoples partyin Denver met the
same fate. The trades and all kinds of
business are very dull here at present.
1 have been idle for the past month, and
the prospects for long rest this winter
are good. We organized new assembly
in this city October 8, and am proud to
say it is building up rapidly. The
Knights of Labor has been at stand
still here for several years, but it is hav-
ing good boom now, and l hope it will,
continue"

The bune-Republican says that if
the Butler vote in New York had been
comparatively as large as 1t was in this
county he would have had 10000 votes.
Amidst its blushes TIE ENQUIRER &C
knowledges the compliment. The .peo
pie of New York who should have voted
for General Butler allowed the capital
istic press to pull the wool oyer their
eyes. Not so here. Every play made by
the partisan press of Denver was met
promptly and shown up in its true light.
A season in the pure air of Colorado

advantageous to other kinds of animals.

The thing is not positively settled yet,
but there can be little doubt of the ulti-

doing or didn'ts want anyone else to
know. The campaign in Colorado was
of necessity conducted in q manner as
isolated as if there had been no other
state in the nation, and General Butler
was running fof president Of this state.
The state chairman of Colorado early in
the fight came to the conclusion that
Plympton and Fowler were either pair
of jackasses or brace Of confidence
men, and he hasn't altered that opinion
through the more recent returns. Itwas
unfortunate for the Peoples movement
