sUPT. kIEHLE's LECTURE.

In the evening every available seat in
the Central Presbyterian church was oc-
cupied to hear the address of Hon. D. l..
Kiehle, of st. Paul, state superintendent
of pu bile instruction of Minnesota. His
subject was The Educational Basis of
Our Civilization and be began by draw
ing comparison between the Indian in
habitsnts of this country one hundred
Years ago, and the present inhabitants.
The Indians had the same sun sky. earth,
air, forests, lakes and beautiful water
falls that the inhabitants of today have,
but they have not been trained to utilize
them. The process of training which
civilizes people is education. Iron in its
raw state is worth about five cents a
pound; when made into horseshoes it is
worth considerably more; when worked
by more skilled workman aud made in
to cutlery the pound of iron has still
greater value, and when worked upon by
still more accomplished workman and
made into watch springs it Is worth
thousands of dollars. Education does the
same for the mind, increases its
worth and usefulness. To illus
trate: An example of two boys was
given, one of whom. at the age of fifteen,
left school and engaged in the butcher
business; the other pursued his studies
for thirteen years and became q skilful
oculist. who with the use of his knife for
q half hour could earn fee of thousand
dollars, while the butcher had to use his
knife month for forty dollars. To an

commenting at length upon its preamble
and demands. When Hugo Vogt, who
occupied the chair, concluded with
eloquent remarks in English and German,
delivered with profound ea,nestness,
the hall was AS full as ever and the
people present appeared reluctant to de.
part when they were finally dismissed.

UOfhJtu lhDoT organization that may
elect to be represented therein; and like.
wise, our Assembly District organiza-
tions are open to every honest man who
earnestly desires "to use his political
franchise in such manner" as to bring
about the emancipation of labor Qntel-
lectual as well as manuaD from the
dominion of the plutocrahc class.
Of course they would not, under any
circumstances, be open to such men, for
instance, AS John McMackin of the Anti
Poverty Society, or James p. Archibald
of the Central Labor Union, who are
the notorious agents of plutocratic
parties; or to any organization in which
such men are recognized as leaders or
known TO possess controlling influence.
Nor could the idea be entertained for a
moment, that we might under any cir
cumstances confer with such men and
such organizations.
No one is more aware than we are of
the necessity of uniting the working
class into one compact body as the first
requirement of its emancipation We
hold, in fact, that union is now tn
actual labor problem-the probem for
we have no doubt of what the working
class will do when united. 1t will, of
necessity, carry out the fundamental
principle of Socialism, which may con-
cisely be defined "the substitution of
the collective power of the people for
the collective power of the plutocracy.'
Therefore, union is what every Socialist
has preached, above all things, for the
past fifty years or more. But the solu.
ton of that prob m Is not 80 simple as
il seems d prtori. 1t involves the elimina-
tion Of every element that is, by igno-
rance or knavery, attached to the pluto
cratic class and its political parties.
1t was not by compromise with Eng
land that the founders of this Republic
established its independence. 1t was
not by compromise with the sIave-hold-
ing power that Wendell Phillips, VIM.
Lloyd Garrison and their friends brought
about the abolition of chattel slavery.
1t was not by compromise with heartless
plutocrats or nalf hearted liberals" that
the Socialists of Germany consolidated
her proletariat into solid mass of | ,500,-
600 voters. And it is not by compromise
that we propose to abolish wage slavery
in this country.
All of you who think as we do are
welcome in our ranks, They will find
us to morrow where we stand to-day;
where we always stood; ready to endure
any amount of Misrepresentation, scorn
and abuse, but strengthened by the OBJ
vious fact that, in the words of our
platform, "the time is fast coming when,
in the natural course of social evolution,
the wage system, through the destruc-
tive action of its failures and crises on
the one hand, and the constructive ten.
denotes of its trusts and other capitals
tic combinations on the other hand,
shall have worked out its own down
fall"

THE TICKET

We took occasion to say in our
last issue that the responsibility Of
the delegates to the republican coun-
ty convention was great The peo-
pie looked to them to solve the diff.
cult task Of nominating a ticket that
would be looked upon with favor by
every republican voter in the county.
AS difficult as such n task would APP
pear to be, it was certainly accom-.
plished by the delegates to that con-
vention. We take pleasure IN con-
graduating them upon the successful
manner in which they did their work.
A republican who cannot vote for the
ticket nominated could hardly have
been depended upon to vote any
ticket. W. look upon it as being an
exceptionally strong ticket, and be-
lieve, with proper work, it can be
elected in November.
The nominee for the legislature,
Mr.. l.. v. Dix, is a gentleman of
most exccpticnablc character. He
has resided in Cole county for a
number Of years, and has devoted
his time and energy to the industry
of farming, in which he has been en-
gagged as long as he has resided in
the county. In this nomination the
farming interests have been given the
recognition that vas refused them at
the hands of the democratic party.
Mr.. Dix will make a good member
and every republican should vote for
him.
The candidate for sheriff. Mr.. Geo.
w. Spur, is also q farmer. lie is
popular and generally recognized as
n "hustler." He is in every way
qualified to fill the Office, and de-
serves the support of every republi'
tan in the county. Geo. Spur was
a union soldier and served his coun-
try with credit during the late re-
bellion.

S12, 2SG, 900. There is a discrepancy,
according to official report of only
S7,OSl, 900, as will be sect by the
statement below given; he also rs
serts that the republicans levied ex-
cesslve taxes while in power. lie has
not the honesty to state that the re-
publicans did not come into power in

that when the republicans came into
power they found the credit Of the
state loaned TO half q dozen bankrupt
railroads, all done by democratic leg
islation passed between 1850 and
1850.

ocratic administrations.

A vERIrABLE LANDSLIDE.
The Bay States Vehement Protest
Against War Tariffs,

Boston, Nov. 5.-With only half a
dozen towns to hear from in Mass achu
sets, Russell, DEM, for governor, is
leading by over 10000 votes. The DEM
Ocrats probably have the largest major
ity on record in the lower house, having
not less than 100 members against sew
enty-eight last year, and from seventeen
to nineteen senators against eleven last
year. Lieut.. Gov. Halle gets through
with 3,409 plurality. but Auditor Ladd
is beaten by William T. Trefry by 6,555
plurality, the first Democrat chosen to
any of the lesser state offices since
the first year of Republican admin
istration. Governor-Elect William E.
Russell, speaking of the result in Mas
sachuSettS, said: "rhe one supreme
question was the tariff. and the result
means that Massachusetts stands abso-
lutely opposed to the high tariff pol
icy of the Republican party as en-
bodied In the Mckinley bill. and de-
mandS its revision so as to give free
raw material for her industries. The
wonderful gains made in the congress
Sl0nal elections means that Massachu-
sstts repudiates the action of her repre-
sentatives in congress. l think it not
only her protest against the Republic
an tariff policy. but against the Lodge
force bill and the conduct of the Re
publicans in the house of representa-
tives, and her criticism upon the na-
tional administration of President Har-
riSOn."
