Workingmen of Minneapolis, st. Paul and
Saltwater: The Trades and Labor assembly,
after another year of unparalleled success in
harmoniZing and educating the great army
or construction, calls on you to demonstrate
10 the drones of the Northwest lawyers,
bankers, rum-sellers and professional politi-
Clans, who produce nothing but corruption
ana misery, the power you possess
when you thoroughly understand how TO
thlnk, act andlegislate for yourselves While
you drudge and toll away your lives for
pare existence, these idlers and non-producers

you, brother workmen, how it is that in this

Cooperative Barrel company. which also
proved highly successful. Next the Hen
nepm shop was started and then followed
the Phoenix, Northwestern. Acme and
Minnesota Cooperative companies in the
order named, al of which are prosperous
Mr.. CurtiSs has lived to see the grand
principal of cooperation thus successfully
carried out in his own craft. there
being to-day in Minneapolis over
400 cooperS who thus share in the
profits of the business as. well as receiving
wages for their toll. In the same time
the Knights of Labor have grown from the
little lodge of twenty to a membership of
10000, with prosperous lodges in all the
leading cities of the state. In his con-
nection with labor organizations Mr.. Cur
tiss has held many offices of trust indicat-
ing the degree of confidence in which he
was held by his associates. He was the
first state organizer for the Knights of La
Dor, president of the cOoperS' union which
which existed for a number of years in
Minneapolis, and first vice president of the
COopers' International Union of North
America. He was also the first president
of the Workingmen's union of Minneapolis.
and for number of years was secretary of
the North Star Cooperative Barrel COM
pany. He accepted the position he now
occupies two years ago. which he has filed
very satisfactorily. While his duties differ
radically from those of his former occupation
Curt" is never tired of talking over the
old times, when barrels were made entirely
by hand and when he could turn out thirty
two in a day. As a member of the police
force he is popular with the officers and
many poor tramp or bum who is COM
PEELED TO accept the hospitality of the
lookup or free ride at the city's expense
can testify to his unvarying kindness and
humanity. AS speaker he is a special
favorite, being forcible and ready. Pos
sesSed of a good education and a clear
head he proves equal TO any emergency and
can hardly venture into a public meeting
where he is known without being called
upon for remarks. In responding he is
sure to be pertinent and will generally be
found on the right side Of the question.

A LABOR KNIGHT
And N knight of Labor--C. w. Cur
tiss, "A Minneapoiis Cooper.


tiss. n Minneapolis Cooper.
The accompanying cut presents in out
line fair representation of the agreeable
features of Chauncy w. CurtiSs, the we'll
known driver of the patrol wagon at the
central police station. No man i'm Mime
apolis, perhaps. has been more closely iden-
titled with organizations for the promotion
of the cause of labor. Especially is this
true of the early history OF these organiZa-
tionS, which have now grown to such pro-
portions as to command the respect OF even
those who are disposed TO be mfriendly to
any movement on the part of the working
man TO better his condition. Mr.. Curtiss
was one of the charter members of the first
lodge of the Knights of Labor organized
i'll the state and was one of the prime NOV
erS, II not the leading one, in the successful
establishment of cooperative cooper shops
in Minneapolis, which are numbered among
the leading industries of the city. He
came to Minnesota in August. 1865, from
Williamsport, Pa, and first went to work
in the shop of Judd & Bracket, which
was one of the seven or eight cooper
shops in the city. The establishment fur
nlShed employment TO twenty men and
stood where the Humboldt mill is now To-
Gated. In October, 1878. with twenty
others he organized the first lodge of the
Knights of Labor. He was one of the six
teen members OF the Minneapolis cooper
ative barrel company. which was started i'm
1874. at the corner of Ninth avenue south
and Third street. and drew up the articles
of incorporation. Each member invested
SIS and paid in So a week out of his
wages. until sufficient working capt.
tai was thus secured. He was
one of the first board of
directors of the company, and secured
its first contract. which was with the Pills
bury Il mill. The shop now stands where
it was moved the first summer after it was
started. The company now has 125 mem
bers, OWNS its property and has sufficient
cash capital 10 do a cash business. This
year it has put in machinery in order to
compete with the modern improvements in
barTelmaking.
Two years later number of tho members
withdrew and organized the North Star

THE BREWING BUSINESS.
The Increasing Popularity Of TIN
Beverage in ST. Paul


Few people realize the importance of the
brewing interests of this city in consider
ing our various manufactures. There are
ten or twelve breweries in st. Paul. and
this industry gives employment to upwards
of five hundred men in the different
branches. During the month of June,
1885, the six largest brewers of the place
manufactured $3.50 barrels of beer. the
largest brewer of these six turning out ). 327
barrels and the smallest dealer brewing sos
barrels. The total number of bar
rels brewed during June of
the present year is 119 barrels
less than the production for the same
month of 1884. 1t is said by the brewers
that the best beer is that which is allowed
to rest for several months before being
used, but ii is said TO be impossible TO hold
the article in stock at the present time on
account of the great demand and the active
competition, not only between the dealers
of this. but those of other places. who en-
ter this market This competition reduces
the prices TO such a figure that it
is claimed the beer cannot be held
for several months and then sold
at profit. A visit to any of the large
breweries of the city will convince almost
any one that this beverage is becoming al
most a universal drink. Notwithstanding
the comparison between June 'S5 and 81
shows a reduction of 119 barrels each
brewery has been steadily increasing its IA
cilities, and the one large brewery in which
occurred the reduction of barrels is putting
in new apparatus to further increase its
production.
Following were the sales in barrels of
this beverage in June from st. Paul and
Minneapolis breweries compared with the
two previous JuneS:

The DOud shop is being operated with 4

Three and four cents per barrel on shaved
hoops are being paid.
The Hennepin shop has been running
nearly full time and has been making some
heavy sales of late.
The Hall & Damn shop has shut down its
barrel machinery and is running only hand
work.
The Northwestern shop is shut down and
the North Star is running only half time.
The coopers are all interested in the
starting of the new cooperative store.
The Phanix shop is working full time
and making large sales.

business being done by our cooper shops
just at present is fully reflected in last
weeks salesOf barrels. Out of ten ShOps
only four made sales. and they We're most
meager, the aggregate amounting to less
than what many of the shops have often
turned out singly. The manufacture is
pretty well sustained. though a small
er number of barrels will probably be made
from this date to the time the mills start up
than before. One large shop has changed
to hand work, considerably reducing its
output, and several of the smaller ones are
doing hardly anything. The largest mill in
the city, which was shut down a week ago.
has resumed operation. and this has liyened
up the business of two of the larger co-op-
erativeS.
The sales and manufacture of barrels for
the past four weeks, and for the correspond

The Order of Good Tempiars.

The Executive Committee of the
Grand Lodge of Good Templars met
yesterday in this city. Five out Of the
six members were present.
Rev. W. W. Wood, of Albemarle,
was elected as State lecturer, and Major
NJ. 7. Holden was appointed to do
some work as special lecturer in Rock
ingham and LoudOun counties. The
Grand W Worthy Secretary was instructed
TO correspond with Major j. f. Divine,
of Loudoun, and 0. C.-Rucker, of Bed
ford, in regard TO their employment as
lecturers for the ensuing year. The
order was reported to be in a flourish
ing condition, seven new lodges having
been organized since the late session OF
the Grand Lodge. Grand Worthy Chief
Templar W. C. Dutton reported large
and enthusiastic meeting at Hampton,
which he addressed on Monday night,
at which twenty persons united with
the Lodge in that town.
A telegram of greeting was sent to
Halifax-County Lodge, in session at
South Boston, congratulating them Oh
the excellent progress of the order in
that county.
A large number of lodges were re-
ported as having agreed to the PROPOSE
ton to increase their per-cdpita tax,
and with this increase in the revenue OF
the Grand Lodge a vigorous prosecu-
ton of the work will be made.
The Grand Worthy Chief Templar re-
ported that never in the history of the
order was there more interest mani
tested in the work of temperance among
ministers of all denominations than
now. and that they were uniting hearth
ly with the order.
A public meeting was held last night
in the Laurel-Street Methodist church,
which was largely attended, the Sidney
Lodge meeting at the hall and attending
in body. Addresses were made by
Captain W. c. Dutton, Grand Worthy
Chief Templar of the State, and X. y.
CHARTERS, general superintendent of the
Juvenile Templars.
The address of Captain Dutton was
an able and effective one. Nineteen
members were initiated into the Lodge.

Root, Hog, or Die.

One of the subjects that occupied the
attention of Colonel Mulberry Sellers
as a gigantic speculator was the "hog,"
but it engaged his time merely as a
''side show :" but there is no matter
of legislation that has engrossed the
thoughts of our municipal legislature
to greater extent for months past than
the hog, except, perhaps, the new City
Hall. The status of each seems hard
to settle, and has given many OppOrtu-
mites for displays of local oratory and
lectures on hygiene and architecture.
The Common Council, in all of its acts,
has stuck to the "hog," and when the
subject is discussed in that body many
feeling tributes are paid him as one of
the chief auxiliarieS of health, and they
have positively refused to legislate him
outside of our city limits.
The present ordinance says no hog
shall be kept within the limits of the
city, except that in the wards Jefferson,
Marshall. Monroe, and Clay, special
permission may be granted by the City
Council upon such terms as it may by
resolution prescribe to the owners to
keep such animals in the wards named.
The Council many years ago delega-
ted the authority to the Committee on
Health TO grant said permits, and this
body and the Council are alone author
lied TO act in the premises, and persons
keeping hogs in the city limits without
the consent Of either are violating the
law and are subject to its penalties.

only question for decision was whether
the Society was liable on It's policies for
losses which resulted from such fire
as that in which the insured buildings
were destroyed. The inquiry was not
as to the rights Of the respective parties
under the Constitution and laws Of the
United States, but as TO what was meant
by certain words used in the contracts
they had entered into /; notwhether scccs-
sion was constitutional. and the Confed-
crate Government, which grew out OF 1t,
lawful Government, having authority
to order the fire TO be set; but whether
that Government did so order, and IL it
did. whether the fire which followed
was fire which resulted from civil
commotion, insurrection. or the inva-
sion Of foreign enemy within the
meaning OF those terms as used in the
policies sued on; not whether the entry
of the forces Of the United States into
Richmond was in fact the invasion Of a
foreign enemy. but only whether il was
so in its legal effect upon the rights ofthe
parties under their contracts. These
are clearly questions Of general, not
Federal law, and such being the case,
the decision Of them by the Court OF
Appeals is not renewable here. The
motions to dismiss are granted"
