THE BANQUET LAST NIGHT.

That there was a feast of gO0dfellOW-
ship and a flow of genlality at last
nights Commercial club banquet, is
sufficiently clear to any st. Paul man
who glances over the list of participants.
That there was likewise feast and
flow of more material and tangible sub
stances of the very finest flavor expert
stewardship could provide, is also clear
TO those who are familiar with the fact
that the Commercial club is run on the
principle that whatever is worth doing
at all is worth doing we'll.
1t was very well worth doing, this
banquet, and it was done well. 1t was
in honor of the Business Mems union,
represented by its executive committee.
The recognition of this committees
work for st. Paul was timely and we'll
deserved. Without emoluments or rec
ompense other than their share in the
city's prosperity, these gentlemen have
labored diligently, indefatigably and
very effectively for the advance
ment of st. Paul's interests. They
have contributed themselves and
collected from others many thousands
OF dollars, which they have judiciously
expended in locating new industries in
st. Paul and in improving and enlarging
industries already in operation here.
The enormous industrial progress which
this city has made, even in these recent
times Of general depression elsewhere,
is largely due to the efforts of this Busi
ness Mems union and its executive com
mittee.
Long life and vigor to the Business
Mems union! Vive the Commercial
club! And long live pleasant memories
of last nights festive occasion.

THE PRO AND THE CON OF 1T.

Republican papers are unanimously
of the opinion that there should be a
special session of the Fifty-third con-
greSs to deal with the tariff question.
The fact that they fail to suggest that
the Republican senate at the coming
short session take the Democrats at their
word and pass the several free trade
bills which the house sent over, and
which the senate finance committee
pigeonhOled, robs their suggestions of
any seeming of sincerity. They should,
as they will have to, possess their souls
in patience, for this is question the
Democrats will settle all by themselves,
and they will go about it in their
own way, at their own good pleasure,
to execute the commission entruSt-
ed to them by over half a million more
than half of the voters of this country.
But it is question worthy of the seri-
Gus consideration of Democrats them
selves, and their opinion in interviews
and editorials is being freely expressed.
The arguments pro and con have been
stated. and are no doubt being consid-
cred by the one man who will have to
decide. The country has learned to
rely with confidence on his good sense
and sagacity, and Democrats will cheer
fully accept his decision when made.

CHICAGO, Nov. 19-W. P. Rand, the
widely known coal dealer and producer,

extreme disfavor. Mr.. Rand declined
to express any opinion of the Home
stead difficulty, saying that he had been
dealing with Mr.. Frick continuously
for twenty years and it would be lndeli-
cate for him TO do So.
Roosevelt NJ. Miller, the next witness.
president of the Chicago. Milwaukee 81
st. Paul, stated that during strike of
yardmen he employed Plnkerton men
for short time, but discharged them
as expensive and futile. Thomas J.
Morgan. the labor leader, gave his views
concerning arbitration of disputes,
forced and voluntary, and the employ
ment of detectives by corporations,
after which the committee went into
executive session to consider the tesii-
imony which had been taken since the
Investigation began.

THE ORGAN PEAL.

Written for the Globe.
An old man sat by the blazing hearth
And sadly snook his hoary head
AS he fondly wished he owned the earth
And need not struggle for his bread.
Tomorrow the mortgage would fall due
Which he had placed in an evil Eour.
And he and his lovely daughter Sue
Would ousted be from Boffin's Bower.
Here came a loud knock at the doo-;
The old man rose with tottering gait
Said he. 1T is that villain Moore,
Who will not for his money wait
80 what is your wish, kind sir?'' said he,
As haughtily in the house Moore slrLde,
Holding aloft his snickersnee.
The more the old mans wrath to goad.
''fhe hand of your daughter in marriage, y
said he,
/.'Or payment in full without rebate
The old man scratched his hoary mead,
And down they sat in tete-a-tete.
Now to the keyhole low was bent
The shell-like ear of dainty Sue:
The whispers to her brave heart sent
A chill that comes to very few.
'.My father shall be saved, Z" she cried,
Although my heart be split in twain,"
And swiftly to her couch she hied
And sobbed in anguish and in pain.
At last the fatal day arrived
When she her wretched fate must seal;
"Oh, who Will save me?" Susie cried,
And Tommie slipped on the organ peal.
High in the air his heels they flew,
As he struck the floor with mighty thud;
Then gaily smiled the lovely Sne,
And said 10 herself, His name is mud"
Back from Asia came Edward Kent
Laden with pearls and gold galore.
''Oh, will pay your papa's rent,
Dear Sue, he cried with d mighty roar.
The church bells merrily pealed once more,
s And ali was music flowers and light.
AS Susie and Ned waltZed through the door,
But the organ peal was out OF sight.
Again by the fire the old man sat;
A gummy grin DER his face did steal.
AS he gently murmured through his hat
Saved at last by an organ peal"

Rush of Mechanics to the Home
stead Mill.


stead Mill.
HOMESTEAD. Pa, Nov. 19.-Notwith
standing the statement made by the
Carnegie officials last evening that no
more applications for work would be re-
ceived until Monday, early this morn
ing the large crowd of mechanics and
Iaborers assembled at the mill gates and
patiently awaited the coming of
General Manager Schwab. Mr..
Schwab was finally prevailed upon
to give the men an audience.
and about fifty of them were passed
into the mill. What proportion OF them
were successful is not known, but from
their detected appearance and evidences
of disappointment manifested when
they came out, but few of them re-
ceived any announcement. or the 960
who filed applications yesterday, not
more than one-third were accepted.
OF the total number of about $500
mechanics and laborers, it is stated that
not more than one-fiftfl-possiDly one
third-can be given work. This will
leave from 1,50O to 1,SO0 men, many of
them with families dependent upon
them, without any source of reve
nue. whatever. By their action
yesterday in deserting the Anal
gamated association, the mechan-
les and laborers have forfeited
all claim upon that organization for aid,
and today find themselves without pos
sible chance of securing work; without
dollar in their pockets and not one
cent of income from any source. To
day some of the mechanics are
trying to reinstate themselves
with the Amalgamated association,
but are being coldly received.
The present situation is more desper-
ate than it has been at any time. Stary-
alton for themselves and families stare
them in the face, and from many the
light of hope is fast fading. That the
end OF the struggle has not yet been
reached, and that the wors t remains is
evident.
