First Catch Your Rabbit.
l<F Call


 Tins IS the oli injunction to decide the question as 10 hDw a rabbit should be cooked It implies that before dls- cussing the point the rabbit should first be in possession. This Is good sense - SO regarded by the Chicago Journal, when, in speaking of Senator Far proposition to send the hostile Apsches to the Santa Catalina Islands, remarks:
 The weak point about this suggestion is that 1t doesn't provide any plan Tor catching the Apsches. There are good many ways of disposing of the savages that would be effective 1T they could once be caught. They could he hnnE, shot or seat to prison. but because 'hey object to death, Imprisonment or can- ishment, they manage so far to take '.,.- tremely good care of themselves, to the detriment Of everybody else m tho To- calItles through which they traTe', as they cannot l.s said to abide elsewhere.

An eruption upon the sun has been ID progress during the last three days. The Rochester Democrat says that an obser- vgtlon of the sun Tuesday reVesled TO spots. except the great group which was well advanced toward the western llmh, and was going out of sight on NecUes- day. An observation n Wednesday, however, showed that new spots had formed li.tle to the east of the nlerld- ian. Two of them were well defined and others could be seen ati1tervals. When first observed thcro was thln haze ID the atmosphere, which allowed good definition, but cut of a great deal of light. By the aid Ot this haze scarlet vapor could be seen rising from the dis turbed region and floating northwErd over the suns disk, One ot these scar let clouds was traced for q considerable distance. the contrast of color being very plain. The arHptlous of Tuesday and "Wednesday pj 3duced results which were often notic,l toy meteorOlogists during 1881 and 1855. The effects are immediate upon aur atmosphere, but tbey cannot he fotrtolj because the evil dence does not appear until after the spots form.

COMMENT.

Cincinnati Enquirer: One thing made clear by the CnlcagO not is that the fierce Inouthed anarchists are one and all arrant towards.
 New York Sun: We note that the newspapers which say that Brokh-r | Blaine Is dead and buried are, wIthou, exception, the Mugwumpapers.
 Brooklyn Union: That an example will be made of the in-tigators of th,. Chicago outrage is as certain as that the most violent Of our socialist c agitg.or,. will think twice before resorting to such weapons again.
 Louisville Courier-J ournRl: The Ksr lucky null, has long been known as devastating engine ot war. Chicago might import few ken;ucky bulls and turn them loose on tue next gang of hOOGiums who dare to hIunt the red flag In her streets.
 St, Paul Pioneer Press Civil-sergice reform will become a voice and nothing more when the earnestness of the D b. lIc sentiment which brousht II to the front and into activity wesries, flags, droops, and dIes.
 Cleveland PlaindeRler: IT they have a case in Chicago strong enough to nang two or three anarchist agitators 1t vIll be we'll The anarchists want to have It impressed upon whatever minds they have that there is some very stalwart law in the country.
 Cleveland Leader: Thus far in tLe history of the country destructive riots have been confuod almost exc!us!v iy 10 cities under Democratic government. The few exceptions thereto only serve 10 prove the rule. There is something iu Democratic government that breeds contempt of the law.
 Kansas City Journal: We hope the time has cUme when men can afford to give more attention to official duties than to political trickeFy. We hope the time has come when partisan zeal will not induce men to allow the sacrifice of officials who. by doing plsln public duty, have incurred the opposition of this or that organization.

LABOR POLITICS.

vv,bet Was and Was Not Accom-
nItshed at the Last Election in
minneapolis.
Labor made its first effort at politics in
Minneapolis this fall. and the result is being
capvassed with considerable interest. The
Trades assembly Endorsed number of men
for various offices and presented their names
70 the Democratic and Republican cOnven-
tions About all of them were taken up
ond nlaced on the respective tickets, but
lot all were elected. The only indOrse-
r,ent for the county ticket was for DR.. NJ.
D Fnnegan for coroner. the Democrats
rotifying it and placing The name on the
ticket. But Dr.. Finnegan was defeated,
and by about a strict party vote. What is
lie inference? If the solid labor vote had
been given him his election would have
Seen insured, and the natural conclusion is
+hat he failed to receive it. Labor has
TIaced great stress on the life and limb law,
Ind the assembly made the office of coroner
. snecial point. indorsing no other, yet its
candidate. running with the Democrat
ticket. was defeated. The conclusion
seems inevitable that the workingmenS'
yote divided up. as any other vote, between
tbe two pol teal parties, paying no atten-

mINNEA OILS CO0PERS.

The Minnesota shop is running with a re-
duced force.
The one-stave barrel shop is working
eighteen coopers.
The Hennepin shop has added several jour
neynen to its force.
The Hard Wood Storage company is sellin g
its barrels as fast as it can turn them out.
The Aud shop WAS closed down indefinitely
Monday, the proprietor giving as reason
that be could not afford to pay 10 cents for
making barrels. and sell them 10 the mills at
81 cents. He employed thirty to thirty-five
coopers. and at last accounts they had not
manifested any disposition to work for less
than the standard price.
The cooperative store, an institution which
owes its existence largely to the fostering care
of the cooperative coOpers, is year Old, and
a good. lusty infant. The annual meeting
was held last week, and officers were elected
as follows: President, NJ. J. Gill; secretary,
George Clement; treasurer, Frank Gagacki.
G. J. Matt, OF the Sixth street shop, was made
one of the directors. While the store did not
make large dividends, the showing for the
year was q good one.
Like the mills, the Minneapolis shops are,
as a rule having something of a boom III
business. The volume OF business, and not
profits is referred to, it being generally con-
ceded that there are no profits made by any
one The sales and manufacture of barrels
last week were both heavy, but fell consider
ably short of what they were a year ago,

NOBLE PROJECT.
Practical Way In Which to Edu-
cate the Working Masses.

cate the Working Masses.
The movement started last spring to raise
fund for the erection of a Knights of La
Dor hall in Minneapolis is materializing.
The building association, organized with
capital stock of 500, 600. has been holding
regular meetings, and committees have
been appointed. 1t is likely that the pro-
ject will soon be formally presented to the
public and stock subscriptions will
be solicited. The intention is. if possible.
to erect four-stOry building, the first and
second floors of which can be rented for
store and Office use; the two upper floors
to be divided into assembly and committee
rooms, with library and reading rooms at
tached. 1t is desired that the third floor
shall furnish an auditorium with seating
capacity for at least 2. 900 persons. A half
dozen sites are now under consideration, as
well as the style of architecture Of the build
ing to be erected.
The undertaking to furnish the labOring
classes with suitable halls for the meetings
of their organizations, where they can lis
ten to lectures and have access to libraries,
is noble one, and its magnitude should be
appreciated The working classes, with
but few, very few. exceptions, are composed
Of men who have but little means outside
of what they actually need. Their cOntri-
buttons will. therefore. be necessarily
small, and a call will be made upon those
whose circumstances will permit
them to make larger investments
for the money thus subscribed should
be looked upon as All Investment and not as
a contribution. If there is to be any sOlu-
ton to the present labor problem it must be
through the education of the masses, and
surely there can be no quicker way to ac-
cOmpliSh this work than by supplying the
common people with the opportunity OF
cultivating and broadening their minds.
The enterprise of Minneapolis was never
known to be lacking when called upon. and
the knights feel that their appeal for help
in this enterprise when made will not be in
vain. Certainly, an opportunity is here
presented to citizens of standing and
wealth to show their sympathy with
the conservative and thinking element of
the wOrkingmen that is striving to better
the condition of labor through the intel
lectuaI improvement of the Individual. If
the response is as hearty as can be safely
anticipated, the site will be selected and
the ground broken this fall. and that when
the General Assembly of the Knights of
Labor visits Minneapolis next October, that
its meetings will be held in the new build
ing, erected as a tribute and a monument

that, or else DR.. Finnegan was so much
less popular than DR.. Hill, his opponent,
that he lost heavily in other quarters. This,
however, is untenable for the simple rea-
son that DR.. Hill received. in all localities
his straight party vote, and only that vote.
The question that labor has to ask itself is,
what is the use suggesting men to the two
political parties and then deserving them at
the polls? 1t looks very much as though
this was rebuke to the Democratic party
for bordering to the supposed labor vote.
This vote on a county Office is particularly
suggestive for it affords the opportunity of
comparing the entire vote.
The Trades assembly also Endorsed candi-
dates for the legislature and again a straight
party vote prevailed. In the Thirtieth dis
trict. where the Democracy triumphed. tn 9
entire ticket was elected. while the Repub
licans swept the Twenty-nnth district.
There is every evidence that the labor
vote made no effort to concentrate
on the men 1t had Endorsed. With the
prepOnderance of labor votes in the lower
district. a mixed legislative ticket would
ce Ttainly have been elected, had the labor
vote been given with anything like solldltY,
for labOr's candidates But it was not. On
one ticket. McVeagh and Lawler had been
indOrsed and on the other, Howard and
Ameson. 1t might have been supposed. If
the labor vote was alive to its own interest,
it would have united and elected those four,
but. on the contrary, no labor candidate
ran ahead of his ticket. If there was any
one Office in which labor is interested it is
that of legislator. but when the election
excitement was on, labor was forgotten and
men voted by parties. There is no other
rational conclusion. There are $1,000 labor
votes IN Minneapolis. at the very lowest
computation. but when the election was
held they were but so many political par
tisans The result is subject for study
for labor leaders. HELOT.
