AN EXPLANATION.
MANKATo, March 81, lSSt

MANKATo, March 81, 1856.
NJ. Editor:
Permit us through the columns of your
paper, TO give the workingmen of this
city a true statement regarding the part
taken by the undersigned i'm helping the
Knights of Labor to nominate their
ticket.
1t having come to the knowledge of
the Workingmen'sCl Club that the Knights
of Labor intended to nominate ticket,
plan was submitted to the Prohibi-
tionists and committee from both wait
ed on Mr.. Lincoln at City Hotel. After
some remarks on both sides, Mr.. Lincoln
of the Knights of Labor promised that
the Knights would appoint committee
and confer with the committee of Work
ingmen and Prohibitionist at the City
Hail, after the conclusion of Mr.. Lin
coins lecture Monday evening.
The committees attended the lecture,
and ut its conclusion all who did not in
tend to JOIN the Knights of Labor, were
requested by Mr.. Lincoln to retire from
the hall. OF course we among the rest
retired, first having notified two of the
Knights, one of whom came ont and
stated to Mr.. Bonsall Of the. Working
mems Club, that as soon as the business
on hand was through with, would notify
lis. We retired to the engine room as
agreed, and there waited to be notified
when our presence would be required,
but instead Of keeping the promise
made, the Knights with the assistance
Of part of the Prohibition Club who re-
manned in the hall, their chairman hay
ing retired with us) nominated ticket.
They did not even notify us of the fact
officially, we learning the same from one
of the members after being dismissed,
As so much has been said regarding
the part taken by the undersigned, we
make this statement IN justice to our
selves and for the benefit of our Clubs
and workingmen generally throughout
the city.

Spring again. This is the third sue
cessive week we have introduced that
delightful seaeon, but each time before
il has gone back on us.
An ass takes just as much delight in
elevating his hind legs in the air with
nothing to hit, as he does if there is
something substantial to reach. The
inbred proclivities of this long-eared
brute are of such peculiar and original
character that he is never happy unless
kicking, and is nothing If not II kicker.
Point your finger at him and up goes
his heels. Prod him little and the
more vigorous does he bray-hence it is
that fosters kicks at the editor of the
FREE Press are made with the same eff.
feet as the other ass spoken of who
kicks from sheer force of habit and with
no object within reach. We have very
little time and no use for a so-caled
man who refuses to vote for series OF
resolutions of respect, in the House OF
Representatives, for one of the most
honorable citizens of the country who
dropped dead in Mankato, and whose
honored remains were shown the mOs
tender care and greatest respect by oul
citizens, while foster brought humIlia
ton upon the entire community by ms
outrageous action. The effort of thi:
fourth-rate lawyer to heap opprobrium

makes him appear more ridiculous be
fore the people, and his brief upon the
post-oflice question, trying to show tina
Mr.. Hunt was dishonest in his transac
ton with the department while post
master, and then subsequently admit
ting that he holds receipt in full fol-
every dollar of rent received from the
basement, shows the animus of his posi-

A TRIFLE UNJUST,

Last week Il strike ofsmall proportions
was reported to exist among the stone
cutters ut Kasota, they asking rise of
wages from $3.50 per day to $500.
On Monday the proprletors of one of
our leading quarries received a letter
from party in Minneapolis with whom
they have contract for n large shipment
of cut stone, and the same contains
language to the following effect.
"Iou may expect committee from
the Union here to your place the first of
the week, as ! have learned from n reli-
able source, and they will try and get
your men to strike as they have at Ka-
sofa. | had committee of three call
upon me Yesterday to insist on cutting
the stone for our block here, and they
will make trouble if we attempt to cut at
Mankato.'
Then, it would seem, that these Union
lists of Minneapolis have decided to
make an attempt to monopolize the
work ut the expense of all other parties
concerned. In the first place, il is moth
ing short of the most condemnable in
justice To the labOrers now located at
Mankato, TO attempt to compel the own
ers of the Mankato quarries to send their
material from this city in the rough,
thereby taking employment right out of
the hands of the scores of stone cutters
who have been induced to locate here,
simply on account of the permanency of
employment offered at our quarries.
Or, more literally, driving them from
their homes and robbing their families
of the necessaries of life. And, again,
such an arrangement would involve the
proprietors in great deal Of extra cost
for handling in getting ready to ship,
and the builder to whom they are ship
ped would be required to pay from 81 80
to 500 per cord extra for shipping; and
the cost of unloading and handling at
their destination would be greatly in
creased.
1t can be easily seen that the exac-
tons of the men who pretend to have
organized in the interest of labor, and
for mutual benefit, would be inficting
upon all parties interested, except the
few who are agitating it, just such mon
opolistic measures as they charge against
the men who employ them.

LEADING men who claim to be familiar
with the doings and intents of cabinet
officials, assert that Secretary Manning
will never resume his work i'm the
cabinet again, though he gains his form

duties upon him.

SIDEWALKS.

The Mankato Pipe Co. are now taking
orders for cement stone sidewalks fol
delivery next spring. The blocks o.
which the walk is composed are hex
agonal in shape, and can be made ofany
color desired. They are as durable as
stone and much cheaper, and are large
ly in use in st. Paul and Minneapolis.
The cost of this walk will be $l.75 per
square ward laid, and all blocks which
become worn or cracked by reason of
defective workmanship will be replaced
without cost to the purchaser for the
first three years.
In order that the blocks may be suffi-
GENTLY hardened and exposed before
laying, they should be ut least four
months old, therefore, parties desiring
the best sidewalk in the world should
send in their orders now.
