was able to earn journeyman's wages, and
secured membership in the Mason's Trade
union. He moved about great deal in
MS efforts to get employment
where works of Importance were in
progress. He could always secure steady
work in London, but preferred the purer
air or the country, even with less wages.
In his wanderings he travelled thousands of
miles and saw most places of note in the
country and gained much knowledge OF
men and things. In 1866 he settled perma-
nently in London and took an interest in
public affairs. With his trade he joined the
reform agitation that arose about that period.
He occupied prominent position among
the London masOns in the lockout Of 1879,
and was instrumental in bringing it to an
amicable termination, with great and last
ing advantage to the men. In 1875 he was
elected secretary of the parliamentary COM
mittee of the Trades Union congress.
Three years later the workingmen of Stoke
on-Trent elected him to represent them in
parliament. The Illustrated London News
(Feb. 27), after sketching his career,
says: 'Mr. Broadhurst has received no edu-
cation in the ordinary sense of the word.
Everything that he knows he has learned
by hard practical experience, and he
ascribes most Of his real education to his
connection with the trades union. He has
great faith in unionism, apart from its rela-
ton to the master and servant question, be-
lieving that it causes men to take keener
interest in all matters Of Importance to the
nation. As the first Englishman
or British subject really of the working
class who has become minister of state,
Mr.. Broadhursts appointment is the mark
of new social and political era, and his
personal merits are such as to justify our
hearty Generalization"

MINNEAPOLIS RED-HOTS.

Election being at hand. the vote of the
workingman is sought and his acquaintance
assiduOusly cultivated. Champions of the
workingman's cause are springing up in the
ranks of aristocracy, which certainly never
before exhibited either affection, nor even
decent regard for the welfare of the wage
worker.
One candidate for mayor was nominated
at a recent convention in which every soli-
tary man who took part of any promin-
ence was lawyer, and he is heralded by
the papers of his party as the working
mans nominee"
This man has been mayor for two years
past has never shown any particular in
clination to aid by his influence any of the
movements calculated to benefit working
men. He, however, has a son who runs
large mill and who has been known to give
turkeys to his employees on Christmas and
to allow those who have worked five years
TO make money for him pro rata share in
the distribution of profits" of the mill.
Upon the strength of this family connection
the workingmen are oppOrtuned to elect the
father mayor of the city.
-
This same son, too, by the way, is at the
head of ring which has oppressed the
farmers, another class of producers, until
their condition is pitiable in the extreme.
But the workingmen are importuned to sup
port his father for mayor.
-
This is quite ludicrous but it is encour-
aging. as demonstrating the growth in power
and influence of the workingmen, A few
years ago these same fatterers
and willy politicians were de-
nouncing instead of coddling the
workingman i'm his effort to obtain recogni-
tion of his rights. Nothing succeeds like
success. Now that labor organizations have
become powerful, they are accorded re-
spectful hearing.
-
A few years ago any one saying word
! for the wOrkingman was communist" a
''dynamiter" Now he is simply demo-
gogue." next year he will be philanthro-
pist, and some time, maybe, this great
party of lawyers and bankers may run a
/ genuine workingman for mayor instead of a
relative of a man who employs other men
] to work for him.
