AN HONEST ADMISSION.

There is something so refreshing in old
time honesty when seen in a Republican
newspaper that we cannot refrain from re-
publishing an editorial which appeared in
yesterdays Minneapolis Evening journal.
1t is as follows:
During Mr.. SECoR RoBEsoN's official exist
ence as secretary of the navy, he authorized
Mr.. JOHN ROACH to make certain repairs
upon the United States steamship Tennessee
for which he contracted that thecgovernment
should pay the sum of $500, 600, less the value
of the machinery in the Tennessee at the
time. This latter was adiudged by Mr..
ROACH to be $4,000, and it was turned
over to him mt that price. Other
engineers known to be competent and honest
said that the machinery which ROACH got in
this manner for S35, 900 was worth nearly if
not quite SIZE, 900, and that the new machin-
cry contracted for could have been built and
put into the vessel complete for S25O,OO I'M
der an honest contract as result of competi-
tive bidding. But what was the result under
the RoACH-RoBESoN method? According TO
the official figures of the navy department the
repairs to the Tennessee between 1870 and
1850 cost as follows:

Strikers at Cleveland.

CLEVELAND, July 6.-TweIve hundred
striking iron workers marched into the city
this morning and drew up at the general
offices of the Cleveland Rolling Mill COM
pany. Several men spoke to the officials
OF the company i'll the Polish and English
languages, demanding return to the old
wages anda semi-mOnthly pay day. w.
Is. Chisholm, manager of the iGie mills,
replied. He said the wages decided on to
be paid July 1 would be adhered to as long
as business was in the present depressed
condition: that settlement in full, due
everS two weeks, was not possible. ''Our
policy" said he, ito pay money before
regular pay days will continue as hereto
fore. Our managers at the works are in
structed to employ only such men as are
best fitted for the successful operation of
the works" The last sentence was called
out by demand of the strikers to the effect
that If they returned to work, none of their
leaders should be discharged.
After Chisholm had read his answer the
men went TO their hall and were addressed
by one of their number. This afternoon
the employees of Atkins, Clark IL Co., the
owners of the Emma blast furnace, asked
for an advance of % per eent. and two pay
days each month. They were granted Is
per cent. and the pay days and returned to
work. Tonight two watchmen, employed
by the Cleveland Rolling Mill company,
were attacked by strikers and badly beaten.
Nc other trouble has been reported.

THE NEW LAND MOVEMENT

One of the most curious forms that the
Gland movement has taken is that EN-
bodied i'm the homestead bill which was be-
fore the last Ohio legislature. The move
ment originated last winter in Cleveland,
and was indorsed by the knights of Labor
as well as by many of the leading business
firms of that city. The object was EN-
braced in the bill offered by Mr.. BENNETT
of Cleveland, in the lower house of the
Ohio legislature, and proposed ''to provide
against the evils resulting from periodical
depressions in manufacturing industries
and to promote agriculture" The plan
was to empower the state board of agricult-
ure to acquire arabic land within the limit
of the state, and TO allot the same i'm plats
not exceeding twenty acres for the use of
such heads of families as should apply
therefor, provided that the applicant had
been for three years a resident of the state
and was not the owner OF real estate in fee
or of personal property to exceed $1,000.
The fee-simple of the land was TO be for
ever vested in the state, and the conditions
under which the applicant was to hold were
as follows:
First-Either he or his heirs must actually
reside upon and cultivate the land.
Second-He must pay into the treasury OF
the county where the land was located an an
nual tax or rental of say per cent. on the
actual cost of the land to the state.
Third-Improvements were TO be the prop
erty of the occupant making them, and, up
TO the value of $1,000, exempt from debt or
execution or state taxation.
"a oil inn
provements TO any other person who had com
piled with the requirements Of the law, and
the latter thereby acquired the same right TO
hold and use the land as the former occupant
had.
Widows were also included in the provis-
ions of the law if they were heads of families
and had for three years been residents OF the
state.
The bill was indefinitely postponed by
the legislature. But that il is going TO be
live issue in Ohio in the near future is evil
dent from a recent communication in the
New York Nation, written by a prominent
labor agitator in Cleveland. The writer
says ''the causes which gave rise to the bill.
for example, the disturbances in the iron
and coal industries which are continually
booming larger and larger body of in
dustriOus men to a hopeless dependence
upon odd jobs; the acres upon acres of land
hard by our large cities, land which is rails
ing nothing but thiStles and brierS, but
which ought to be yielding sustenance to
hungry men; the growing conviction among
thoughtful wage-workers that the only con-
slant and certain outlet for idle labor is the
idle land-these have not been indefinitely
postponed, butare certain TO force the ques-
ton to the front again as soon as the public
begin to discuss the men who wish to be
sent to the next legislature, and the meas
ures that are to come before them"

THE CHICAGO sTRuKE.

The proclamation issued by Mayor HAIR
RIsoN declaring that the police power of
the city of Chicago should be eXerted to
protect the street railway in running its cars
in accordance with its chartered rights had
the true ring about it. The only fault to be
found with Mayor HARRISON is that he did
not issue his proclamation as soon as the
ears were stopped by the mob. II was the
duty of the mayor TO have indicated the
majesty of the law no matter on whose side
public sentiment may have been. Yet it is
due to the street car drivers and conductors
TO say that they have behaved themselves
with becoming dignity, and doubtless merited
the sympathy they have received from the
public. The trouble which followed their
strike was not their doing so much as it was
that of lawless outsiders, who had no real
interest in the grievances of which the car
men were complaining. The hOt-headed
socialists, who are too numerous in Chicago
for the peace and welfare of the city.
were the real agitatOrS and disturbers
of the public peace. The people
of Chicago must have an immense amount
of patient forbearance or they could not en-
hNAO III btlCil hliNcb NiC BANSNllNN VI a NiNd-
ture like HENRY, who said, in his Sunday
harangue TO the mob which listened TO him
on the lake shore, that ''the time had come
for all socialists and others who hated law
and order TO rise up and burn and kills
1t is the misfortune of the street car strik-
ers that such fiends as HENRY and his social
istic followers should attach themselves to
their cause, or seek to make it the oppor-
tunity for giving expression 10 such men-
durable incendiary utterances. The posi-
ton that the strikers have occupied has been
one of firmness. yet entirely free from boiS-
terousneSs or unbecoming threats. 1t should
be understood, however, that while the law
guarantees to the strikers the right to abstain
from work and to use arguments TO induce
others to quit work, it does not permit
them to use violence TO accomplish such a
purpose. On the contrary the law guaran-
tees to the street railway companies the
right to run their lines in such way as
they see proper so long as they do not inter
fere with the rights and privileges of the
public. The law must be respected.

Deliberate Suicide.

Word was received in this city yesterday
afternoon that man had committed suicide
in Oakdale, in this county. The coroner,
sheriff and undertaken left soon after for the
locality, which was on John Berschen's
farm, about thirteen miles from this city
and within six miles of st. Paul. The
body was found in the second story of the
granary hanging by the neck with halter
strap with the knees upon the floor. Upon
inquiry it was found that it was the Cody of
Wolfgang Erlmann, who came to work
there last Tuesday, working Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday. Saturday being a
holiday, no work was performed, but he
was about all the forenoon and nothing
strange was noticed in his appearance or
actions. After dinner he was missed, but
nothing strange was thought of it and no
search was made until yesterday forenoon,
when an offensive smell was noticed to
come from the granary, when an inveStiga-
ton resulted in finding the body. a search
through his effects resulted in the informa-
ton that he had only been in this country
about two months, and that he had recently
boarded at the Wagner house, st. Paul,
where his trunk is. a small amount of
money, some passports and other papers
were found upon his person. The coroner
deemed an inquest unnecessary and brought
the body TO this city for interment.

words, Ten hours is days work. They

mill, and in consequence. all the
mills on the river. with the
exception of one or two, where the demand
was conceded, are shut down. Both sides
are confident OF victory, the mill men
probably more so, as they claim they have
more lumber in the docks now than they
want. The strikers are mostly Poles The
mill owners advise the strikers to appoint a
committee and have the matter settled by
arbitration.
