WHAT OTHERS SAY.

THE PRESIDENCY AND LABOR.
The presidential contest is all the
talk. Cleveland and Thurman, con-
sidered u strong ticket, having been
nominated, people now cast their
eyes towards Chicago, and wonder
what the Republicans will do.
The Republicans, no doubt, will
recognize the necessity of selecting
two of their ablest men. Who these
two will Ge even the leading Rerub-
licans themselves just now don't
seem to know.
One thing is certain, the ticket of
either of these parties will be elected.
But will the elected truly represent
the best interests of the American
people? If not, the people them
selves will be alone to blame.
If the masses who toll for wages
understand their interests they will
unite upon one great issue-the is
sue that above and before all Others
affects their welfare-the issue of
less hours of labor, and they will
help elect the side most favorable to
it. That will be business. -Pater-
son Labor Standard.
WILL 1T BE THE SAME AGAIN?
If the battle is to be between
Cleveland and Blaine again, We Won
der if the old issues are to be fought
over. Will the name Of poor Maria
Halpin and her little boy be again
hawked before the public gaze; and
will the gravestone over Blaine's
little child be investigated to ascer-
tain his age to compare with the
date of his fathers marriage: And
are we to have convocations of min
listers to sit on the personal charac-
ter of the man from Buffalo-some

cold facts Of the present, and class
interest boldly throws off the mantle
of democracy. The experiences OF
these latter days compel this ac-
acknowledgement from the most skep-
teal.
Shameless class Justice, the un-
punished act of ruthless pretoran
band taking the lives Of citizens; the
brutality of Il purchasable press IN
opposition to the interests OF the
workers; the decp-seated corruption
of Systematically reared brood of
blood-suckcrs; the canniballstlc d.
version manifested in that which ex
cites bcstial passion; the silly glorl-
iication of the promlnents of day;
all this proves that this republic
is nearing It's end-the democratic
republican ldoal mas la'leu.
The courtier-like cringlng before
ROYALTY of native born Americans
and the importation by them from
Europe of aristocratlc customs Is
disgusting. And so shameless are
| these degenerate descendants Of
Washington that they do not even
care to hide the image of royalty in
| their breasts under the excitement
Of worship at the shrine OF the chief
officer of the nation. The "demo-
cratic" convention at st. Louis &C
compIished this in its paroxysm. 1t
needs but the right man in the right
place to realize the thought.
The modern American, unable
to criticize and blinded by the
show and the pomp Of clrcum-
stance, bowling cowardly to the
laws and their executors regardless
of their corruption, brutality and
wantonness; worshipping the dol
lars and following HIM who prom
iscs the most booty-thls Amerl-
can has all the attributes necessary
to make him embrace imperialism
as something great. Yea, and con-
sidering the riches of the country,
he would even take childish enjoy
ment in SURPRISING effete Europe in
the glorifcation of monarchy, if only
that Caesar should appear, who, az

himself with his army, seems more
like an episode of the middle ages
than of the present day. The fact
that this whelp Of royalty has to rely
upon military organization and brute
force to retain his position is an in
dicaton of weakness. His warlike
utterances presume the ignorance
and debasement of the German peo-
pie; but a short time longer and we
may hear that this royal cub and
his adviser are afflicted with the mad
ness, with which the gods are said
to inilict those whom they would
destroy.
Occasionally we see, in books and
papers, great praise bestowed on the
Yellowstone National Park. This
beautiful tract Of land has been set
apart by the government for the
pleasure and enjoyment of the peo-
pie; and it is maintained at the eX-
pense of the people. But what peo-
pie take enjoyment there? Foreign
tourists, mainly, who, sponglng
upon the labor of thousands of poor
workers, spend their gains in en- joy-
ing life. The People do not have an
opportunity of enjoying the beauties
of the National Park, for they have
no means of getting there. Nor will
the Park be what it is presumed to
be until the means of transportation
are furnished by the government at
cost. Meanwhile it is well to pre-
serve the Yellowstone tract from the
depredations of the land grabber till
such time as the People can make
use of their property.

in many respects, and our efforts will
be devoted to remedying any apparent
defects in that measure, but under no
circumstances will we consent to the
adoption of the Harrison bill, which
understand has been favorably reported
by the senate committee on territories.
Up in Dakota our people are becoming
tired of the agitation regarding division
or anti-diviSion and want definite and
decisive action taken by the congress of
the United States in the matter. They
feel and know that the material inter-
estS of the territory have been neg
lected too long. for when the
legislature meets everything else is
subordinated to watching by both parties
to see that no schemes antagoniStic to
their respective platforms are engi-
neered through, and meanwhile our
prospects are suffering by these delays.
Some idea may be formed of the opinion
of the diviSioniStS when attention is
called to the utterance of eX-Delegate
Pettigrew before the senate committee,
that he would sooner see the admission
of Dakota delayed twenty years than to
have it In the Union as one state. This
bears me out in my assertion that such
action is desired only by Scheming poll
ticianS who care nothing at all for the
people of the territory. We shall en-

The 3O-cent bazaar of Harrington Sc
Hardness, at No. 412 Wabasha street,
where all sorts of snide iewelry trinkets
could be had for one price, closed its
brief but eventful career yesterday.
The enterprislng gentlemen had hard
time of it all around. They came from
Minneapolis on Thursday of last week,
and prepared to open a 'Sure thing"
business known as the lottery swindle.

with prosecution and they changed their
plan. beginning quaci-legitimate bust

came the first wife of Hardness, who
was living with another woman, who
also claimed to be married to him.
Hardness fled through the back door,
and has not been seen since. His part
ner came around yesterday morning and
packed all the Snide jewelry into two
big boxes, which he consigned for Du-
luth, and at 2:15 yesterday afternoon he
boarded the Duluth express. When
Policeman Haney, by way of a joke,
asked if harrington wasn't going to

Gates A. Johnson, Jr., of the building

day or two past compiling some interest
ing statistics, showing the total frontage
OF the buildings erected in st. Paul dur
ing 1887. The linear frontage of all the
buildings, if placed side by side, would
be SS,7S2 feet, or 16 As miles, and would
extend in a continuous line on both sides
of Seventh street, from the Harvester
works beyond Post siding, to the east
end of the Fort Smelling bridge. The
buildings would line both sides of Uni
versity avenue, from jackson street to
the Exposition building i'm Minneapolis:
would reach Oh both sides of the street,
from the junction Of the river and Day
ton avenue east, one and three-fifths
miles beyond Maria avenue, via Third

mile north of Lake Vadnais; or from
