PROBING LABOR SYSTEMS.
Commissioner Lamb Preparing
Statement for the LEGISLATURE.

Commissioner Lamb Preparing a
statement for the Legislature.
Commissioner Lamb, of the bureau of
labor and statistics, submitted special
report to the governor yesterday. Mr..
Lamb states that the first report of the
bureau will be transmitted to the next
legislature, and, besides containing a
full report on the condition of wage
WORKING women, there will be chapter
Oh strikes, bOycOttS. and the system of
cooperation in Minnesota. Continuing,
the commissioner adds:
Its intended to make the investigation
into the condition of women so COM
plete and exhaustive that no obtainable
facts of value, bearing on their indus
trial condition, shall be omitted; so
that any legislation OF other action
to improve their condition need
not be based upon the strength
OF mere guesSwork or assump-
ton, but with a full knowledge
of the facts, showing the evils under
which wage-working women suffer, and
suggesting at once the proper and prac-
ticaI remedy for these evils. so far as
any remedy can be applied. The science
of statistics is yet in its infancy, both
in this country and in Europe.
industrial classes have been considered
of sufficient Importance in legislation to
Justify any expense by the state in Sc
curing exact and thorough information
respecting their industrial and social
condition. The result has been mani
fest in very crude and bungling labor
legislation, when any has been at
tempted at all. When the various labor
bureaus established by the state and
national governments shall have
been in operation some years, and
shall have attained that thorough
efficiency and value which time and ex-
perience alone can bring, all false and
foolish legislation OF this character will
be ineXcusable, if not criminal. 1t is
needless to say that such legislation,
and the lack of good legislation, will
be tolerated in the light of the facts
which these bureaus will collect and
disseminate among the people.

be it stated that the affair did not occur
there, but at one of the cottages

states testimony was that three

stepped off the walk to look in the
window. The occupants came out of
the house in a few minutes, and after
brief conversation they went back to
the door. The three passed on up the
walk, and then Mrs. Mckinney asked
them to come. in. They stepped back
toward the house. She went into the
back room and got the revolver, came
to the door and asked them if they were
coming in. Sullivan said, ''You invited
us in.' She said, ''Yes, l did" She

Special to the Globe
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. THE
delegations visiting Gen. Harrison to-
day came from Tippecanoe and Van
verburg counties, the center of the
former being Lafayette and of the lat
ter Evansville. The Tippecanoe peo-
pie reached the city about noon, and
had in line over 1000 men, with whom
were many ladies. At the park Gen.
Harrison met the visitors, who greeted
him with great and prolonged applause.
In response to the presentation speech
made by 3. Wilson Smith the general
said:
You are members, in great part, of

had its birth in an impulse that stirred
simultaneously the hearts of those who
loved liberty. The first convention of
our party did not organize it. Those
men were great, but they were dele

which had already asserted their power
over the consciences and the hearts of
the people. The Republican party did

made, and shall yet make, are addressed
te the hearts, the cOnsciences and to the

great conservative and assimilating
force, A dOubter is not necessarily an
evil person. The capacity to doubt i'm

doubts; and if the doubt is accompanied
with purpose to find the truth and a
supreme affection for the truth when it
is found, he will not go widely astray
Therefore, in our political campaigns let

will assert its sway over the minds of
our people. Then everything that af-

TROUBLE ENDED BYA KNIFE.

KICKED IN THE DooI
Before Mystery Was ReVealed---A
Well-Known Bookkeeper's Suicide
While Despondent.

Another man went wrong yesterday
morning. This time it was German
named A. Thede. The victim of his
own destruction came to America in 1882
from Germany. He was an intelligent,
well-educated man. who had served in
several responsible positions in st. Paul.
Finally he went West, remaining for a
short time only in any of the cities he
visited. Three weeks ago he returned
to st. Paul, and being penniless and
without position, he went to
of Streiguth & Drake, wholesale
hatters, and related his story to him.
After hearing his tale of distress Mr..
StreiSsguth took pity on Thede and the
circumstances under which he found
himself OH his return from the West.
He invited Thede to his house at 606
since Thede has returned from the
West he has been guest at Mr.. Streiss-
guth's home. At o'clock yesterday
morning Mr.. StreiSSguth heard
A NOISE IN THEDE'S ROOM.
He went to the door and raped on it,
but there was no response. Mr.. StreiSs-
guth became Impatient and as Thede
made no reply he kicked in the door.
There he found Thede weltering in his
own blood. A small pocket knife lay
beside the bed and Thedes throat
showed an ugly cash where he had
drawn the knife. AS soon as Mr..
Streissguth discovered the condition of
the man whom he had befriended, he
called for physicians. Two of them re-
sponded and dressed the wound which

throat, and then ordered him sent to st.
JOseph'S hospital. He was taken there
in hack, placed in comfortable quar-
tiers, but died at o'clock.
The deceased was unmarried and
without relatives in this country. His
remains will be inferred at Oakland
cemetary.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Streissguth were
overcome by the sad affair, the cause for
which neither of them was able to dis
cover. Coroner Quinn was notified
about the suicide. but under the circum
stances did not deem an inquest neceS-
Sary.

DULUTH
Has Political Ambitions of Her
Own.

Own.
Duluth Republicans to quite an extent
appear to favor Merriam for governor.
Some of them are personally pledged to
his use. But they are not over-san-
guine as to his nomination and admit
that he may be defeated. They will not
concede McGill'S nomination and think
that Gilman is not to be considered in
the race.
1t Merriam is beaten these Duluth
gentlemen have in quiet retirement two
possible candidates for governor whom
they would be pleased to present.
The first is Col. G. H. Graves, vino has
never had clear knowledge of what of
flee he desired but would accept any
that had title and good salary attached
to it.
The second is A. n. Miller, who is
counted as available owing to his pop
ularity with his countrymen-the Sean
dlnavians. The Duluth men, however,
pay little heed to geographical and po-
litical considerations, which absolutely
prevent the nomination of any Duluth
man-JuSt now at least. They speak
with pride, though, over the fact that
they possess gubernatorial timber,
which after all is something for subur-
ban resorts to boast of.

EXoNERATED THE OFFICER
Who Merely Discharged His Duty
Faithfully.

Philip W. King will soon come to the
conclusion that his interference with
Officer McEllistrom Oh the night of the
Republican rally was unwarranted and
uncalled for. He contested his arrest
in the police court and was fined SIS;
then he complained to the mayor, and
yesterday, after hearing number of
witnesses, the mayor said there were no
grounds for complaint against the officer
and dismissed the case. An eyewitness
said the only trouble about the matter
was that McEllistrom did not arrest
enough of those who interfered with
him in the discharge of his duty.
