DEsPlCABLE TACTICS.

There are good reasons for believing
that the labor troubles now existing
among the iron-workers and allied
workmen are not due to legitimate
causes, which could not be escaped, but
are due entirely to the procurement of
designing persons for political effect.
In brief, it is alleged, with great
deal OF circumStantial evidence, that
the monopoly magnates, the employers
themselves. have precipitated the
troubles when there was no occasion at
all for difference, in order to prejudice
the minds OF their employees and influ-
ence their votes against a reduction of
the tariff.
In fact, one firm in Brooklyn,
but a few days since, announced
to Its employees that work would
cease for the present, because
OF the agitation against the tariff. A
most paIpable political move, since the
effect OF tariff reduction has already
been discounted, inasmuch as the vari-
Gus reductions proposed have all been
outlined in the MILLS bill. There was
at the same me, no evidence to show
That this particular mill was not doing
as good a business at the time of the
shutdown as it ever did.
This is about as despicable a method
of campaigning as could well be imag-
ined. Virtually it amounts to starving
the wOrkmen into compliance with the
selfish views of their monopolistic en-
ployers. But it is method which will
arouse the spirit of opposition and of
independence in the breast of every
workman. A man may sell the labor of
his hands OF brain, but his opinions are
his own.
The action of the magnates will be
far more apt to react against them than
to rebound to their credit. Flies are not
caught with vinegar, and the depriva-
ton of work for political purposes is the
surest kind of vinegar to the workers in
the iron mills.

HOW LABOR is PROTECTED.

New York Times (Republican).
If the ironmasterS are forced to pay
large assessments in order to protect
American labor and prevent it from
sinking to the level of the pauper labor
of Europe, they can not make their
usual profits unless they save the ex-
pense of this operation, and the easiest
mode of retrenchment is to cut down
wages. No doubt they regret the neces-
sity of reducing the wages of the men
in their employ, but American labor
must be protected at any cost. If the
saving necessary to protect it against
the pauper labor of Europe can not be
effected by reducing the wages of the
men already employed, arrangements
will have to be made for importing Bo-
hemlans and Poles to take the places of
these men at lower rates. The men
who are discharged because they will
not work cheap enough may feel ag-
grieved for the time, but they must be
made to understand that the great point
is to protect American labor, and that
they ought to bear with cheerfulness
any privations that may be necessary
to enable their employers to attain their
object.

A MERIroH1oUs SCHEME.

In an enterprising and growing city
like st. Paul it seems an anomaly that
the Metropolitan hotel should have re-
manned closed so long. Its continued
idleneSs has been a rebuke to the city;
therefore it will be all the more crafty
ing Dews to our people to learn that a
scheme is on foot whereby this picture
of desolation is to be removed, and that
this elephant on our hands is really to
be utilized for the public good. Miss
BEALs and the ladies associated with
her i'll the management of the WOmen's
Business exchange are the originators
contemplates the purchase and CONVEX
sion of the Metropolitan hotel into an
institution to be called 1.-THE Woman's
Educational and Industrial Union Of st.
Paul" An idea Of the general purpose
OF the institution may be gathered from
a list of the interests which it is pro-
posed to center here. 1t is contemplated
to have day nursery, kindergarten,
an industrial school, cooking school,
a gymnasium, swimming school.
Turkish baths, woman's exchange,
business w0man's club, new Century
club, an art club, musical club, a
dramatic club, halls and rooms to rent
for the officers of the associations and
societies engaged in woman's work;
and it is also proposed to remove the
Milford home to this building and es-
tablish boarding home for working
women.
Thus it will be seen that the scheme
involves an extensive plan for the sue
ceSsful carrying on of woman's work in
this city, and ought to appeal strongly to
the support of our best class of citizens.
The owners of the Metropolitan propose
to turn the building over TO these ladies
at what it cost them. The building
needs repairing, and some alterations
will have to be done in order to make it
suitable for the purposes in view. In
order to provide sufficient fund to
make the repairs and alterations neces-
sary it is proposed to stock the institu-
ton at 100000 and to guarantee per
cent on the stock.
1t occurs to us that this is practical
business proposition, and there ought to
be no difficulty in placing the stock. 1t
is good investment for our moneyed
men, and at the same time affords them
an opportunity to contribute to the
establishment of an institution which is
bound to be great public benefit. The
ladies who have the matter in charge
are already deserving the gratitude of
our people for the good work they have
done in promoting the welfare of their
sex, and most assuredly merit en-
enlargement and support in this new
effort to extend the scope Of their oper-
ations, and to increase the power of
their usefulness.

pleted their book of attractions for the
coming season at the Grand. Mr.. SCOTT
says that he will give the st. Paul peo-
pie the finest series of dramatic and
musical entertainments that has ever
been known in this city.
The stage fever is prevailing to an
alarming extent among our young peO-
pie. Quite a number of young ladies
and gentlemen in the Twin Cities are
seriously maturing plans for adopting
the stage as their profession. In addi-
ton to Miss ADAH HAWKINS, who has
already joined the profession, it is as
serted that w. K. COCHRAN, of the Min
neapolis Tribune editorial staff, has
been wooed from the field of journalism
by the fascinating glare of the foot
lights, and will make his debut at the
Peoples theater in this city next week.

that she could return home whenever
she would leave the stage. ''Mr. POT
TER never made such remark" she
continued, land you have my authority
for it. On the contrary, he has given
his consent and approval to all my
dramatic plans. l cannot imagine how
such an absurd statement could have
been made. Mr.. POTTER was with my
family to see me Off, and is perfectly
reconciled to my plans and projects for
the future"
When asked how much longer she eX-
pected to continue in the profession
Mrs. POTTER snapped out: Until the
day of my DEATH" Mrs. POTTER eX-
poets to be abroad about six weeks. She
will open her next seasons engagement

SUNDAY SALAD,

. The Rev. JOHN JASPER is in Chicago,
trying to convince the people of that
wicked city that ode sun do move"
Mr.. JASPER is not having the success
that JONAH had at Nineveh, for he has
more unbelieying people to deal with.
The ChicagOanS laugh him to ScOrn, but
the old man breaches away and tells
them the time is coming when they will
get the reward of their unbelief.
~"
The Rev. JAsPER'S famous astronom-
zeal dictum has proved a little fortune
to him. 1t brought him into notoriety.
and was consequently the means of at
tracing the attention of managers of
lecture bureaus to him. He has been
much sought after in the lecture field,
and the old darby has been shrewd
enough to put his figures away up. He
gets good pay for lecture, and usually
draws good crowds through CURIOSITY to
see the old African who has the courage
to defend his pet theory in opposition to
science.
The famous old preacher is now sew
enty-siX years of age, and splendid
specimen of the physical African. He
is over six feet. has deep chest, and in
general appearance is an ideal ''Uncle
Tom" His skin is ebony black. He
wears short, stubby white beard, and
cOmmingling of firmnesS and benevo-
lence. He is the pastor of a colored
church in Richmond, Va, and attends
strictly to his ministerial duties. He
has often been urged to make speeches
in political campaigns, but invariably
refuses. When recently waited OH by
one of MAHoNE'S committee with a re-
quest to attend political conference,
he replied: 81 am Republican, but
don't know much about politics. When
ebber the Republicans bring out good
man and l am notified, l goes to de
polls and vote for him and den retire.
If dey don't bring out a good man den
votes for the fust good man dat l find,
no matter what party he b'longs to. MY
business is to preach de gospel as God
wrote it, and not as man explains it.
Politics don't come in my line"
Old JASPER may not succeed in con-
vincing this generation of the correct
ness of his pet theory that ''de sun do
move" but if more preachers would ac-
cept his rule of action as theirs, and
preach the gospel as it is written and
not according to mans explanation of
it, there would probably be more con-
NcItS W SullStlalilby. NOlulLS Is ever
made by lodging an issue, even in

''God bless the man who invented ice
WATER" is the involuntary ejaculation
of the crowd of thirsty SanchO Panzas
who tramp up and down the streets
these hot days. Business men are
always quick to catch on to t popular
desire, and consequently barrel of ice
water with tin cup attachment placed
in the street in front of the business es-
tablishment is becoming popular form
of advertisement. 1t may be an adver-

able mention for the charity that is in it.
These are times when the planets con-
junct and severe electrical storms are
the natural result. For the benefit of
nervous people who are afraid of light

as soon as the celestial bones get to
running on schedule time again. the ele-

CHICAGO, July 7.-There was no news
to be obtained around the Chicago, Bur-
lington IL Quincy offices to-day. Gen
eraI Manager Stone was mot inn and
Assistant Manager Williams was smil-
ing and courteous, but uncommunica-
tive. II cannot tell yet what will be
done. l do not know whether any
further arrests will be made, but there
may be some news this evening""
said Mr.. Williams. ''When are
you going to arrest HOge?" was asked.
"His circular, if authentic, woAld seem
to be sufficient for such acton" II do
not know what may be determined on"
was all the opinion Mr.. Williams had.
Paul Morton had just got back after
weeks trip and did not know anything
about the affair except what he bad read
IN the papers. Regarding the circular,
all connection with which Mr.. HOge de-
MES, Mr.. Morton said: "That circular
was sent by Mr.. Hoge from 81 of the
Grand Pacific hotel. 1t is photograph
circular.
AND BEARS MIR. HOGE'S SIGNATURE,
Which can be proven when necessary.
MIR. Hoge may deny it, but just tell him
That one OF his own engineers says that
he got the circular from Chairman
HOge, and see what he says" .'WilI
you arrest HOge?' Il do not know what
Mr.. Stone may see fit to do"
MIR. Hoge was seen, and said: 81 do
not know anything about such circu-
lar. l never wrote it nor authorized it.
L never signed nor authorized any ore
to use my name, and the 90 people can
not prove that did, and they know
they cannot. If they could put any
hold on me don't you think would
have been the first one they would have
arrested? Do you suppose they would
go around arresting tiremen if they
could get me?
I'M TIE MAN THEY'RE AFTER,
and you bet they have nothing on which
they make preteXt for my arrest"
The four men i'll jail had no callers to-
day.
Alexander Smith, the fireman who
was arrested i'll Aurora on Friday in
connection with the alleged dyna-
mite plot, was taken before
Commissioner Hoyne this after
noon and formally bound over in
$4,000 bonds for examination on the 18th
inst. Speaking of General Manager
Stones statement of yesterday, Daniel
DOnohue, attorney for the alleged Bur-
lington dynamiters, said to-day; "When
you come to examine the statement
critically there is very little i'll it. 1t
won't bear investigation. Stone
makes the point that Bowles
was receiving brotherhood funds
through Bauersen. OF course he
was. So were all brotherhood
engineers in that division. The BROTH
erhOod never make any secret of that,
in fact they wanted the public to know
they were supporting the men on the
strike. Then as to the numerous eX-
ploSions, how is it that nothing was
ever heard of them till now? We claim
it is put up job on the part of lot of
hungry detectives, who have to make a
case to keep themselves at work.

CITY PARKS.

Though the park commissioners are
exhibiting cOmmendable activity in
pushing their plans to conclusion, and
are conducting their operations on as
comprehensive scale as possible, it is
much to be regretted that their field is
not broader one. A continuous inter-
urban system of boulevardS and Separ-
ate small parks here and there is very
we'll in its way, but it furnishes nothing
like general suburban resort for the
mass of the people.
No cities in the world are so favorably
situated as st. Paul and Minneapolis for
the establishment of grand park which
would rank with those whose names
are almost household words. In the
great interurDan district, with the
frontage on the river, and taking in
woodland, bluff, dell and prairie,
magnificent park could be established
by judicious cooperation which would
have no superior in the country.
If TO this grand natural resort easy ac-
cess were afforded from the two cities
by the extension of cable and motor
lines, something like breathing spot
would be given the people. 1t would be
boon that would not fail of apprecia-
ton, either in the present or in the fut-
ure. While now such a scheme is en-.
tirely practicable, in the near future it
will be virtually impossible.
An excellent beginning has already
been made by each city. 1sit not pos
sible to bring about consolidation of
interests and efforts which will conduce
to result of which both may be justly
DrOud?

common law, no ceremony of any kind,
either civil or ecclesiastical, is neces-
sary to constitute a legal marriage. A
mere verbal agreement between the
parties interested, even without wit
nesSes, constitutes valid marriage in
all countries of Christendom, except
where the common law has been abro-
gated by the statutes of the state or
country; and according to the opinion
OF so eminent an authority as
the late Chief Justice STORY, where
there are statutory provisions regarding
ceremony the only object is to facili-
tate proof of the transaction. 1t was
not until the council of Trent, some 800
years ago, that there was any authori-
tative ecclesiastical declaration respect
ing the marriage ceremony; but since
that time the Catholic church, with sim
gular devotion to the principle that
what God has Joined together cannot
be sundered by human agency, has re-
fused to celebrate the marriage of per-
sons who have been divorced.
1t is according to ones religious faith
and teaching whether the marriage rite
should be performed by civil or ecclesi-
astical authorities. The tendency of
modern ideas is in the direction of hav-
ing some sort of ceremony performed.
The age has outgrown the civilization
of the Scottish period, when confession
OF marriage in the presence of witnesses
was binding. Leaving the moral and
religious aspects of the case out of view
entirely, the necessity for protecting
the rights of society and properly guard
ing property interests not only requires
that our marriage laws should be clear
i'll details and strict in their provisions,
but that there should also be uni
fOrmity.

SAID BY SARGENT,

The Chief of the Firemen Con-
dennis Acts OF Violence, and
Manager Stones Charges
Against the Brotherhood.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, July 7.-Grand
Master Frank p. Sargent, of the Broth
erhood of Locomotive Firemen, was
found at the headquarters of the order
here last night, preparing to start to
Georgia. In regard to the dynamite
conspiracy against the Burlington road
at Chicago, he said: 81 will say, in the
most emphatic meaning of the words,
that the Brotherhood condemns all acts
of violence. We believed we were right
in quitting the Burlington's employ, but
the Brotherhood does not believe that
itself or its members had any right to
interfere with the running of trains, or
to commit any depredations on the COM
pany'S property. AS to Wilson, the
fireman arrested, l have looked through
our books and can find no such man on
recOrd-that is, no John q. Wilson, as
given in the dispatches. l do not I'M
derstand how it happens that these
men have been at work for the Bur-
lington, since the strike began in Feb
ruary, as it is declared they have been,
and Mr.. Stone ought not to make the
charge he does against the thigh of
ficialS" unless he has proofs to back it
up with. The officials are all cOnserya-
tive and oppose and condemn radical
measures OF any kind"
