WORKINGMEN,
Look Out for These Self-COnstituted
Friends.

To the Editor of the Globe:
AS a workingman would like to say few
words in reference to the election Tuesday
1t will in a great measure decide whether the
workingmen Of ST. Paul are capable of looking
at their condition in the right light, or whether
they will elbow themselves to be carried away
by the song and dance of these self-consti-
tuted friends, whose purpose and principles
may in the near future be found lacking Our
new alliance, the fag end of the Republican
party, the aiders and abettors of all the dis
tress and commotion to be found in our coun-
try to-day, the loss of the commonest neces-
saries Of life for the untold thousands of the
wives and children Of our artisans and labor
ers, possibly millions to capital, as we'll as the
danger of revolution and bloodshed, the Re
publican party is in great measure respon-
sible. During all the years they held the
government of the country in toeir hands
they have utterly failed, and neglected
to legiSlate for the farmer or for
the wage-earning class, only so far as 1t could
be for the benefit of the monopolists For
eign goods must pay duty to come here but
foreign labor must be free to come and work
cheap and fill the factories of New England
anc the coal mines Of Ohio and Pennsylvania.
American labor cannot elevate itself but is
pressed down to compete with convict labor,
as well as the pauper labor of Europe This
is the way our Republican statesmen have
shown themselves friends of the labor indus
tries of the country. They contrive to keep
up the price of the neceSsaries of life. not
for the benefit of the producer nor the poor
consumer but for a host of middlemen, ''who
toll not, neither do they spin,' yet they get
rich and are called the better GLASS; When
working men of all classes, including farm
ers, are called on to vote for the above class
or their strikers worEingmen must demand
some proof of repentance for their past affili-
atoms, and resolution other than desire to
run for the next best Office in the gift of the
people. A VOTER

THE LABOR LYCEUM.
1t Endorses Maj. Il. NJ. Newson and
Listens to Him.

When the Labor lyceum was called ito
order last evening, T. j. Casserly, who had
been invited to speak, was not present. and
J. G. Hanley moved that the representa-
tives of trades now on strike be invited to
explain their situation before the meeting.
No members of such trades were found to
be present, and, to keep up the interest,
Timothy Reardon moved that the meeting
indorse Maj Newson as the peoples cand
date for city treasurer. Motions were made
including other names in the Endorsement
and when the resolution passed the
meeting had put the stamp of its
approval on the candidacy of Maj. T. M.
Newson, Ii. Harrity, A. l.. Lewis and
Frank Horn.
&. A. Lafayette rose to state that false
impression was abroad in some quarters re-
gardlng the movement against convict labor.
The work of the committees on convict la
Dor from the lyceum and the trades assem-
bly, was simply to gather facts which were
to be used to secure legislation against the
present system of convict labor. The prison
ring and not individuals was to be antag-
OniZed.
On invitation he then proceeded to make
few remarks on cooperation, which were
followed by short discussion.
MAJ. NeWSOn came In, ana IN response TO
call for speech, said that he must de-
cline to introduce anything in the meeting
that savored of politics. He then said that
this political movement. begun by the work.
ing element, must be pushed through to
success by the same element. In some
quarters it had been charged that he had
been setting up his pins for political eleva-
ton. Said he: MY friends. when l be-
gan to attend these meetings thrnuph nv
sincere interest in the welfare of hui
manity, L had no more conception
that l would be brought forward for a po-
litical office than had of coming death.
When the city hall ring is dead and gone,
when the city treasury is thing of the
past, these words uttered here will ring on
and bless the great cause of labor. My
friends. as long as God gives ME the breath
of life my voice will be enlisted in the cause
of the workingman." The meeting then
adjourned.

The st. Paul Press club met in the par
lors of the Ryan yesterday and proceeded to
effect permanent organization by electing

ance and the meeting was called to order

suited as follows:

cording secretary.

9. s. Bartram, H. Stockenstrom and H. A.
Castle.
The following house committee was ap-
pointed:
j. P. Richardson, chairman; Fl. I. Cleve-
land and FL. P. Hall.
On taking the chair, Mr. Smalley briefly
spoke on the social Importance of the club
to the newspaper representatives, after
thanking the organization for bestowing the
honor OF craftsmanship on him. He stated
that the field occupied by the newspapers
of ST. Paul and Minneapolis was larger
than that covered by any other daily publ
cations in the United States, as their range
extended from point half way
between Chicago and St. Paul
to the crest of the Rocky
mountains. He paid the newspaper rep
resentatives of the two cities high compll-
ment for their work and tireless energy.
A resolution was adopted to the effect
that officers of the club excepting the vice
president, who are absent at regular
meeting. should be fined one dollar unless a
good reason could be given for their non-at-
tendance. The meeting adjourned to meet
next Sunday in the parlors of the Mer-
chants.

JAPANESE VISITORS.
The Chicago Opera Company at the
Grand in the ssHIikado.,s

The Chicago Opera company, containing
number of artists that are fayOrtes to the
st. Paul public, will begin an engagement
of three nights and matinee tonight at the
Grand in the japanese opera, the ''Mikado."
The milwaukee, Sentinel speaks of their
performance there recently.
The Chicago Opera company gave q per-
formance of 1.-THE Mikado'' at the Academy
last evening, with a strong cast in which
John e. EcWade, the well-kn baritone,
takes the title role ID. Barues ,lc equally
well-known tenor, sings the role of Nanki-
Poo, and pretty Miss Ada Somers that Of
Pitti-Sing. They gave an excellent perform
ance throughout, and the audience testified
to very lively appreciation Of the good
things presented. The costume of Mr. Nc
Wade as the MilHado deserves especial men
ton. 1t is a genuine japanese importation
through the medium of Nee Ban, the we'll
known merchant, and has enjoyed an intimate
acquaintance with Japanese royalty, having
at one time been in possession
of high public functiorary of

of Miss Alice Bechtel was delightful, and
introduced a most charming little girl from
school. Miss Eloise Willard as Peep-Boo
completed the delicious trio Of maidens The
Ko-Ko OF Harry Brown will bear comparison
with that OF his illustrious predecessors and
his topical verses in the first act created
something of q sensation. J. A. Allison as
Poo-3ah was excellent, and the Pish-.rush of
Edwin M. Allison introduced a singer of more
than ordinary vocal resources. The Katfsha
Of Miss Lottie CruikShank was one of tho
principal features of the opera, and her sing
ing deserves especial commendation

greatest and, in fact the only spectacular
production ever given in this city at the

FLYING THROUGH THE SPACE.
The Limited Trains Start ON Their
First Un.

At 1885 last night the limited train on the
Milwaukee road steamed into the union
depot and came to halt, the locomotive
painting as though anxious to get away Oh
its run Of 400 miles that lay between this
city and Chicago. The train consisted of
baggage car No. 1875, passenger coach No.
311, smoking car and the Pullman
sleepers, Oconomowoc and Nasbatah.
The train was drawn by locomotive
No. 224, in the hands of Jack Lantrv.

come down from the city to witness the
staDt OF the first regular train to undertake
to land st. Paul citizens ON the streets of

with the dear ice cream destroyer. Others
were venturesome, set their teeth together
and flew home, stropped their old back
number razors and practiced hacking them
selves before their mirrors
This accounts for the mutilated condi-
ton of some of the swells seen OH the
streets yesterday afternoon. Faces and
threats clapboarded with court plaster were
not all uncommon sight.
On Wabasha street the following note
was picked up last night:
My Dearest Emma: 1t will be impossible
for me to fulfill my promise to spend this
evening with you as the barber shops are
closed and the luxuriant growth of stubble on
my face would put you in misery, as your
skin is so soft and sensitive. If convenient,
I'll see you Monday evening when my face
will be in such condition that you can lay
your cheek against it with temerity and the
usual amount Of ardor. Absolutely yours,
AUGUSTUS r. COMSTOCK.

The above note is published for the bene-
tit OF dearest Emma for fear that she didn't
get it and may be at loss to account for
Augustus not keeping his promise. Here
after the shops will remain open until II

There will be an open-air mass meeting

QUIETLY WORKING.
The AIdermanic Candidates Spend

The political workers were out yesterday
looking after their interests in quiet way.
Members of the Republican city committee
were at the committee rooms, detailing vol
unteers to districts for the purpose of ped
ding tickets and furnishing loud talk to-
morrow. Although Gray in the Sixth ward
is reported to be working for Lewis, he is
in fact quietly giving his influence to Bry-
ant and will do much towards helping him
through. Strange as it may seem. no new
aldermanic candidates bobbed up Yesterday

The only witness TO the affair was the
: twelve year old sister of Mary, who could
give only vague account of how it hap
pened. AS near as can be ascertained.
Mary and her brother Charles, a Young
man Is years of age, stood in the front
yard. Charles was engaged in examining
| a revolver, which by some means vet I'M
accounted for was discharged and the ball
struck the girl just below the left breast
and passed directly through the heart.
| With the cry Il am shot" she fell to the
ground and breathed her last
almost in the same moment. The revolver
was -eight-caliber. As soon as the
brother realized the terrible result of the
discharge OF the revolver. he fed, and I'D
to late hour his whereabouts had not been
discovered. AS the revolver cannot be
found. it is supposed that he. took it with
him and fears are entertain6& that over
come BY fright and grief, he may end his
own life
a GLOBE representative visited the Light
bourne home last night and found the
mother almost frantic with grief, and the
anguish OF the father was terrible. The re-
mains OF the unfortunate girl had been
taken into the house. and as she lay in the
sleep of death. she seemed to be peacefully
dreaming. SO calmly composed were her
girliSh features. She possessed a loveabe
disposition and was the joy of the family
in which she had grown to the verge of
Womanhood, only to be cut down like a
flower in its earliest bloom, by the relent-
less hand of death.
