LABOR CANDIDATES IN

Will the Liberal Party and the Labor
Candidates Get on Well?
(By Ca lei

LONDON, Sept. 9. The Trades
Union Congress, in session at New
castle. promises to have an impor-
tant influence on the future course
OF English politics. The large num-
Der OF labor candidates for Parlia-
ment, who are in training for the
next general election, has already
caused serious anxiety to the Lib
eral leaders, who do not favor this
sort of representation and think the
workingmen ought to be satisfied to
accept reforms at the hands Of the
Liberal party. Mr.. Gladstone him.
self is said to feel this way, and
while he does not oppose, he gives
no active personal encouragement to
labor candidates. Among the trades
unions there is strong feeling that
workingmen should be directly rep
resented in parliament, in order to
secure desired changes in the laws,
and that the Liberals ought to be
willing to receive the labor represen-
tatives with open arms.

LONDON, Sept. 9. From Kieff
comes the account of a horrible
tragedy. A Jew named Keptan,
driven to desperation by an order to
leave Russia, he having been de-
prived of comfortable business by
former decree, first shot his wife and
then, one by one, his five children.
He afterwards killed himself. Kap-
tan left note stating the motive
for his crime, which was his desire
to save his family from otherwise in
evitable misery.
From other parts of Russia comes
| news of tragedies attendant on the
failure of the harvest and the con-
sequent suffering and struggle for
existence.

SUSPECTED CANNIBALISM.

While no cases of cannibalism
have been reported, there have
been several cases Of mysterious dis
appearance that are attributed to
suspected cannibalism, and in Bes-
sarabia the police are carefully
watching for evidence against per-
sons under suspicion. Many suicides
are stated to have occurred among
the peasantry, who, owing to a
strong religious feeling, have been
as a rule slow to commit this act.
There is nothing reassuring in Rus
sian advices and the prospect for
the winter is too terrible to con
template.

He's At 1t Again.

Editor Leader: see by the last Wash
burn Mail-oh, excuse me, l should not
have used that term; 1 remember now that
the editor of that paper don't like that
name-the editor made use of the language
that if he was horse he would not like to
be called an ass. Well, sir, think "Read
err of Sod Shack at Turtle Lake, made
great mistake when he said that the editor
of the Mail had confessed his faults and
for it seems he is at it again.
This time he has a brother, it appears,
somewhere near Dickinson, which verifies
the saying that "birds of feather flock
together" The fact is, that bill of Satter-
lund's (house bill 1881 is getting away with
Britton; he will be entirely out of his mind
by the time he gets another legislature to-
gether to repeal it. But why don't he
abuse other members of the legislature
who got up bills not one-half as important
as that one was? Britton, however, must
kick at some one, which goes to show that
he is neither horse nor an ass,
but cross between the two, so
you see he must kick all the time at some
thing or at nothing. If he would stop his
kicking for awhile, the people would not
think he was such mule; but that infer
nal bill! don't see why Britton hesitates
to order the Tribune not to print it in the
popular edition of the Laws" He says
credit does not belong to Satterlund. Now,
Mr.. Editor, we'll suppose case: Sup
pose should say that the editor of the
Mail ought to be killed because he was
pie of this state would be greatly benefited
by SO doing, and that the man or body of
men who would commit the deed would
get great honor, but that possessed
neither the courage nor the manliness to
do it, and you said, ''Since you have neith-
er the manliness nor courage to kill him,
will do it," and you got some men to go
with you, and you did it, which would he
entitled to the honor, you or I, for the kill
ing of that outlaw and rebel? Most GER
tainly it would be you, and you alone
should have the honor, for it belonged to
you. I only talked or thought about it,
but you performed the act and gave the
people great relief and the country great
benefit.
Now, Mr.. Editor, that is precisely the
case of that bill. If the other man ever did
think of it, that was about all. Our men,
Der got up the bill, got it passed by both
houses, and the governor signed it, which
finished it. All honor to its originator and
to all the members of the legislature who
passed it, and to the governor who signed
it, for it will be the death of Britton sure.
If the Mail man would stop his kicking
and believing, he might live awhile yet,
though it Is disgrace to any county to
have such man publishing paper that
is always abusing people. I hope "Read-
or" in Sod Shack will try his pen once
more. hope will hear from him again,
and in the meantime let the mule kick
and below away, for don't think he can
stop it; there is too much of the M;notaur
] in him. Gnu.

COllkling.

Conkling, N. D., March 80.
Editor Leader: Please give space in
your paper for few items concerning our
Sunday school, which we expect to reopen
at Conkling on the first Sunday in April.
1t was first organized by E. P. Williams of
Bismarck in the spring of 1884, and con-
tinued in summers without any change un-
til 1887, at which time it was recognized
by A. j. Garry with a few changes in Off
GERS and teachers. In 1883 we made anoth-
er slight change by an election, and since
that time it has been running without
change. It is nearly seven years since it
was first organized, and it has been fairly
attended during all that time. We have
fair prospect of a good full school this sum-
mer, another family having moved into
the vicinity last winter with two interest
ing little girls, and with others whom we
think will join US will make it an interest
ing school. We expect to have four at
tendants who were scholars when the school
first commenced. Three of them we're lit
tie children then, but they are now grown
up, though are not tired of Sunday school
studies.
Since the school was organized seven of
the attendants have left this country and
gone from us, and four have paid their
debt to nature and gone to their long
homes. We have often felt grieved when
parting with them, after having SO fire.
quently met and talked with them in the
school room, and read and sang and pray
ed together. We felt they were near and
dear to us, and deeply regretted losing
them from the school, although their places
were soon filled by new ones. When Jen-
ny Allen left us, between one and two
years ago, thought the flower of the
school was gone, for she was admired by all,
but her loss was somewhat atoned for and
her place seemed to be filled last summer by
the attendance of Lydia Youngquist, who
has become about as much of q favOrite in
the school as Jenny. Our most regular at
tendants last year we're Laura and Oliver
Heath, Mrs. ellsworth and Lydia Young
quist. Our school was small, but interest
ing; the lessons were well studied, ques-
tions promptly answered, the reading and
singing were good, and good department
prevailed. In fact, we have never been in
terrupted nor disturbed in time of school
since the school was organized.

up his household goods and moved himself
and about dozen other hogs out Of the
city to his farm in Poverty Gulch.
Thos. Burgum left last Monday for Ar

Rev. Brownell drove to Bismarck Tues
day, expecting to meet Judge Ranard and
his wife there and bring them up to Wash
burn, but as they failed to come Wednesday
morning he left his team for their use and
returned home on the stage. The judge,
however, reached Bismarck Thursday, and
drove up to Washburn that evening.
Mrs. John Satterlund with her daughters
Hilda and Lulu took the stage this morn

Missoula, Mont, for a months visit with
her husbands sister, Mrs. p. G. Loffness.
She expects to make short stop at Glen
dive and call on several old friends living
there. The Leader wishes her and the
children safe and pleasant journey.
Dispatches to the Bismarck Tribune
state that the Yellowstone river has broken
at Glendive and the tributaries are rising
fast. The Yellowstone is not very high at
that point but the tributaries in the noun

high point.
