ADVERTISING THE CARNIVAL.
Uniformed Men to be Sent over the
Northwestern Snow Shoe Race
I.reuOsed.

Uniformed Men 10 De Sent USeE the
Northwest.-.A Snow Shoe Race
proposed.
One of the schemes for advertising tha
carnival is the uniforming OF club OF em-
ploves and agents who will go out on Mon
day on the various roads in full uniform, to
hang and distribute advertising matter
throughout the Northwest. They are to
travel in squads OF three and Will cover
points as far south as Burlington. north as
far as Grand Forks, west to Bismarck and
east to Madison, Wis. l.. H. Maxtield,
president of the association, has been inter-
viewing the railroad men in Chicago on the
matter of reduced rates during the carni-
val. A favorable reply has been received
from several of the roads, and the others
are expected to come to time this week.
The Carnival M usic and Song Folio.
The reward of true merit is not only
source of qualification but frequently proves
profitable in a pecuniary sense. Mr.. 5. L.
Church has every reason to be gratified at
the success attending his efforts in the pub
lication of the Carnival Music and Song
Folio. and he will undoubtedly realize
good round profit as the pecunary reWar
of his enterprise. which he richly deserves
The Carnival Music and Song Folio from
beginning to end is book OF which any
one might feel proud. The design on tht
front cover is elegant looming up in fifteen
beautiful tints. The paper used is of ex-
celIent quality, and superior to that
generally used in musical publjca-
tions. The selections. including words
and music. are of soul-stirring
and brilliant character. and will meet the
hearty approval of the public everywhere.
Before the completion of the MSS. con-
yinced OF the fact that it would become pop
ular and enjoy very large sale, Messrs.
Peterson & Blaikie secured the exclusive
sale of the work. If the energy and push
displayed in the placing of the Carnival
Music and Song Folio before the public Dy
these gentlemen is indicative of The busl-
ness spirit they possess. they will prove
valuable acquisition to the business inter-
ests of the city. The local contributors:
whose names appear in the folio, have gooG
cause for congratulation. Being st. faul

Bulgaria..

PARIS, Dec. 18.-The Journal Des de Bats
publishes a dispatch FROM Berlin stating that
Germany, France, Russia and Turkey are in
complete accord on the Bulgarian question.
The dispatch adds that Turkey is to continue
to have the initiative in advancing proposals
respecting Bulgaria, and that the three other
powers named are to accept the proposals as
made, but does not say whether or not there
is to be previous understanding as to the
nature of what will be proposed. In addition
to the foregoing the telegram contains the
statement that Germany advised Austria to
ioin in supporting Turkeys proposals and re-
fused to guarantee her against the conse-
Queues of double-dealng policy.

"BOYCOTTED."
How the Knights of Labor Might Render
a Service to the Working Glasses.

Uow the Knights of Labor Might Rendes
Service to the Working Glasses.
The proprietor of gin-mill at st.
Louis is undergoing boycott" insti-
tuted blythe Knights of Labor of that
city, which has proved so effective thus
far that the total destruction of his
business is said to be inevitable unless
he can rehabilitate himself in the favor
of that organization: The offense for
which he is punished is a refusal to let
his hall to the street-car strikers of st.
Louis for a ball, because of his disap-
proval of their use of dynamite as a
means of coercing the railway COM
panies into compliance with their de-
mands. The saloon-keeper unques-
tionably had the right to control his
own property, and decline to let it to
the strikers or any other persons for
any purpose whatever, if it so pleased
him. Equally clear is the right of the
Knights of Labor to withhold their pat
ronage from him if they see tit, and to
induce other men to do likewise, pro-
viding that they resort to no violent or
illegal methods to accomplish that end.
So far honors are easy; but on general
principles this particular boycott" is
to be commended, and if its scope
could be enlarged so as to embrace all
the whisky-shops in the country, the
Knights of Labor would render a service
to the working classes the value of
which could hardly be exaggerated.
Rum is a more formidable enemy to the
wage orkers of the United States than
all the corporations aud nOnOpolies of
the country combined, and more to be
feared by them than a thousand Jay
Goulds and Vanderbilts., The powerful
machinery of the Knights of Labor
could not possibly be better employed
