TROOPS UNDER ARMS.
Expected Strike of the London
Gas Suckers.

4
Gas Suckers.
LONDON, Oct. 3.-The directors of the
London Gas Light and Coke company
to-day emphatically declined to aecede
to the demand made by the National
Gasworkers' union that only union
men be employed in the works. The
stOkerS threaten to Strikei in consequence
of this refusal. A storm has been brew
ing between the company and It's men
for months, and the number of men in
volyed is six times larger than the
number engaged i'll any of the previous
gas house, strikes. The company is
making preparations to conduct its bust
ness despite any action the men may
take. Long sheds have been erected
within the works, for living quarters
for the nOn-uniOniSts and hundreds
of beds have been provided for their
use. The authorities, too, have taken
energetic measures to suppress any dis
order. Orders have already been issued
that 800 soldiers at Chatham be in read
mess to proceed at moments notice to
protect the gas works and the men who
refuse to join in strike. Each soldier
has been served with twenty rounds Of
ball cartridges. The stokers declare
that the reports that they intend to go
on strike TO force the company to dis
penSe with nOn-union labor are I'M
founded. They say they have no such
intention. Moreover, they declare that
they made no demands upon the direct
ors. but only suggested that it would be
to the advantage of each side if only
union labor was employed in the works.
Despite the pacific utterances of the
men, the troops at Chatham continue
under arms.
LONDON, Oct. 5. = This evening a
deputation of gas men met the directors
of the gas company in conference. The
directors declared that they bore no
enmity toward the union; that they
were perfectly satisfied with the en-
ployes, and that they would always give
preference to old hands without dis
tinction between union and non-union
men. AT a mass meeting of the workmen
held later in the evening. a resolution
was adopted expressing thanks to the
directors. and declaring that the men
do not desire to strike. There had been
slight friction between the gasworkers
and the company, because the company
declined to discharge men who failed
to keep up their subscriptions to the
union. The company applied for mil
itary protection in the event of a strike,
but it seems that the men equally
feared a lockout

ment to enrich themselves by plumber
ing the taxpayers. These are facts that
are known to all, for there has been no
attempt at their concealment. The fire.
quent scandals connected with the peni-
tentiary management and with the
gross extravaganza in the construction
and management of nearly all the pub
lie institutions are all part of Repub-
lican domination in this state.
Another evil growing out of too
long lease of power is the corrupt use of
money in controlling nominations and
elections. The voice of the people has
been virtually stified by the activity of
the bOodler. In state where nomi-
nation is regarded as equivalent to an
election the temptation to use Doodle is
too strong to be resisted. Thus it is
that only those who have big bank ac-
count, or are backed by rich corpora
ton, can afford to become candidates
for public Office.
The honest elements in the Republic
an party are conscious of this deplOra-
bic state of affairs. They recognize the
truthfulness of every word we have
said in this connection, but they have
held onto the old party because of their
hope that the day would come when
they could effect reformation. 1t has
come to point now, however, that they
see the hopelessness of all endeavor to
effect reform inside of the Republican
party. That organization is too firmly
fastened to the wheels of monOpoly's
car to afford encouragement to the be-
lief that the party can be reformed.
The only way to accomplish reform is
to defeat the ring machine.
In the mind of the average intelligent
Republican voter it is now question of
patriotism or partisanship. Party ties
are very strong in this country. But
the love of country is stronger. The
masses of the Republican party. like
the masses OF the Democratic party, are
honest and patriotic. They want pure
government, pure politics and pure men
in office. AS much as they are attached
to the party name, and as much as they
are endeared to their past political affilia-
tions, they are ready to break away
from both when the good of the COM
monwealth absolutely demands it.
Such crisis has now arrived in the
affairs of our state administration. The
masses recognize it, and are preparing
for the change. A great majority of the
voters of this state are now in line in
opposition to the Republican state
ticket. Some of them are under OWENS
flag and some under WILSON'S banner
but whatever they be, they are opposed
to the Republican party.
State issues are cutting some figure in
this campaign.

lance movement is strong, the Repub-
lican managers have catered to it, and
have expressed their willingness and
readiness to take it under their foster
ing care. They have praised it and
caressed it and handled 1t Oh their
knees, in the fond expectation that the
young party would grow up to become
a SAMSON of strength in demOlishing
Democratic supremacy in those states.
But here in Minnesota they spit upon
it and laugh it to scorn, all because it
threatens the overthrow of the machine
power in Republican politics. 1t is to
the credit of the Alliance movement
that, in both Democratic and Republic
can states, in the North and in the
South. it seeks to keep itself free from
entangling alliances with either of the
old parties.
In South Carolina it was strong
enough to rid the Democratic party of
the sway of the Bourbon oligarchy and
to restore the management of state
affairs to a younger and more progress
achieved in Texas. where the ring
power which had dominated the state
for many years was dethroned by the
eXertions of the Alliance leaders.
Texas and South Carolina ought to be
warning to the dominant party in
Minnesota. The excuses of power can
not be borne forever by liberty-lov-
ing people. The expressions of an UNI
just taxation will not always be sub
mitted to under the plea of party
necessity, or of vindicating party
principle. There is great deal of
party idolatry in this country, yet an
American citizen would not be good
American citizen if he permitted party
ties to reduce him to state of vassal-
age.
1t is useless, therefore, to conjecture
as to the final outcome of this Alliance
movement. 1t is sufficient for present
and practical purposes to know that a
popular revolution is in progress, and
that its purpose is to sweep from power
the men and the party who are respon-
sible for the rotten condition of affairs
existing in Minnesota TODAY.

THE ALLIANCE PARTY.

The Pioneer Press maintains its repu-
tation for inconsistency in yesterdays
issue by claiming in its editorial columns
that the Democratic managers are try
ing to give to the Alliance movement
"the resemblance of a real affair.""
while in its news columns it details the
marvellous growth of the Alliance in
Otter Tail and adjacent counties, in
which the Alliance is demonstrated to
be a real affair of proportions so huge
as to strike terror to the souls of both
the Democratic and Republican man.
ayers, and that it owes its origin to in
fuences entirely Independent of either
of the old political parties, and has
passed beyond the control of both.
Observant politicians, who have care
fully noted the progress of political
events in this state, have for some time
past been predicting that the time was
near at hand for a popular uprising, and
that the state would be swept by revo-
luton the like of which has never been
known in the history of Minnesota.
Whether or not the Alliance move
ment is to be the fulfillment of this
prophecy remains td1be seen. Ithad its
beginning in a section of the state of
which Otter Tail county is the center.
and all reliable advices from that quar-
ter seem to indicate that the beginning
of the end has come The political
foundations are loosening, and the
tremor of the coming earthquake is al
ready being felt in every quarter and
every section of this state.
Whether it signifies good or evil for
the Democratic party, it is the unerring
sign of the destruction of Republican
domination in this state. 1t means that
the people are in openrevol against the
powers that be, and that they do not in
tend to cease the struggle until the last
vestige of corruption, of bossism. of
boodleism, and of the tyranny of cor
poratiOn power shall be eliminated from
the administration of public affairs in
the state of Minnesota.
1t may be this year, or it NAV be some
other year, that these revolutionists will
succeed inpurifying state politics. Their
earneStneSs and their sincerity ought
to convince the leaders of both of the
old parties that this Independent move
ment on the part of the farmers and the
working classes is not thing to be de-
Spised OF ridicuied. 1t is already enough
of a reality to convince even so great
skeptic as the Pioneer Press that it is
not the unsubstantial shadow or the
chimera of a dream which that paper
affects to believe it. Nor is this Alliance
movement the annex of the Democratic
party, as the Minneapolis Tribune at
tempts to impress upon its readers.
In many essential particulars the
Alliance platform is in accord with
Democratic principles, and III some in
stances both parties are moving on paral-
lei lines, but there is nothing in either
organization to justify the impression
that there can be fusion OF organic
union between them.

AGREED IN THE MAIN.
British Churchmen Go on Record
Against Gambling.


LONDON, Oct. 3.-The Congregational
union, in session at Swansea, and the
church congress. sitting at Hull, have
both placed on record their solemn con-
demRation of gambling, which they de-
plore as one of the greatest and most
widespread evils with which Christian
ity has to cope. But while thus agree
ing upon the main question, the two
ecclesiastical bodies develop a marked
variance in their judgment in regard TO
certain practices which are generally re-
garded by the laity as coming under the
general definition Of gambling, namely:
The lotteries which are SO common
feature of entertainments gotten up for
the benefit of churches and their aux
iliary organizations. The congrega-
tiOnal union includes these trials of
chance III its category of forbidden
things. and urges lis churches not to
bring scandal upon religion, and cherish
a cause of stumbling by sanctioning
them. The church congress, on the
other hand, throws the mantle Of charity
around such lotteries as are conducted
wholly with pIous object in view, and
in connection with which no profits ac-
erue to individuals. They are treated
simply as amuSementS, which harm
lessly attract revenue to the good cause
and do not give rise to the nhoIy pas
sions and the disastrous consequences
involved in ordinary gambling.

have been named as candidates.
In addition to these names we have

who have peculiar fitness for the
various positions for which they have
been nominated.
1t is the duty of the Democrats of
Ramsey county to elect their ticket. 1t
is furthermore the duty of Demo-
Gratis to stand together and to work to-
gether in behalf OF the whole ticket.
This is not a good year for scratching
or trading. The latter is always de-
vice of the minority to defeat the major
ity party's candidates. Let US keep
clear of all doubtful politics this year
and march to victory in solid column.
