Employ the Unemployed.

While our humane society, w
R. G. and other bodies in our midst
are attempting and doing much
for those in need, there is class
that they cannot reach, for the
reason that they will not learn OF
the needs of many who require and
deserve assistance.
This is the class that as a rnle
support their families by their la
b0r, and who now by reason of the
lack of labor are forced to 60 in
debt or lack the comforts, if not
the necessities of life.
We suggest that the town furn-
ish temporary employment for all
such by some means that will be
of permanent benefit to the town.
The work may be improvement OF
streets or some other necessary
work, and the rate Of wages may
be placed SO low that there will be
no excuse for not seeking and ac-
cepting other employment at the
earliest possible moment.
If we have not the money it can
be obtained by grace of the legisla-
ture and the sale Of bonds.
This plan would benefit both the

Don't Expect Two Much.

The campaign cry ofhomes and
employment at large wages for all
is misleading.
There was a time in our history
when employment sought the lab
orer with offers ofreward and COM
petence, hut such n thing is not
likely to occur soon aguln.l
Conditions have changed and we
may AS well look these changed
conditions Ia the face, and draw
our conclusions from what we
know of the present.
A careful siatistician estimates
that there are at the present time
100000 working people in this
country without employment. Sup
pose this estimate is too large by
one third, ii yet leaves vast army
of seekers whose struggle for work
which will fill their stomachs and
clothe their bodies, will tend to re-
duce the prices of all classes of
labor.
This is not theory but a fact,
and II condition that is continually
being intensified by our govern
mental policy of free immigration.
The past will not return to us, as
individuals nor as people and it
seems to us vain to hope for time
when any class of labor will go
begging for hands to perform it.
Increasing population will have
a direct bearing on the matter by
increasing the competition and
prices will decrease in proportion
to the increase of population.
Laborers who calmly sit down to
wait for employment will most
likely remain unemployed for the
active bustler will crowd him out
and to the wall.
No policy of protection or free
trade can change the imperative
law of supply and demand, wheth-
er in the matter of workmen or la
Dor and we will be wise if we so
shape legislation as to make the
best of the opportunities offered by
existing conditions.

Work for Those Who Have no Work.

The appeal for help for the un-
employed would loose half it's eff
fectiveness if those who Can give
work should not heed. it. Helping
people to help themselves is the
most beneficial form of charity.
The society in New York which
set starving sewing-women at work
for wages in making garments for
the destitute and naked negros of
the Sea Islands along the South
Carolina coast instituted form of
giving that was twice blest.
Retrenchment in expenditure is
the order of the day. 1t has been
made necessary by a vast shrink
age in the volume of business. To
some extent the lowering of prices
has cheapened the cost of living,
and thus modified the hard neces-.
stiles of the poor but those who
depend for daily bread upon daily
wages must have work. Manu-
facturers, merchants, builders, rail-
way companies, contractors and all
employers of labor at such a time
are bound to take into considera-
ton not only their own necessities,
but also the necessities of their en-
ployees. No man or woman whom
it is possible to keep at work at
living wages should be turned out
in the cold. Retrenchment no
doubt is necessary. stoppage is
sometimes inevitable. But mercy
should guide the hand of thrift.
There should be no discharges or
stoppages that are not enforced.
1t is painful to take note of cur
tailments of work and looping off
of expenditures in very many in
stances where there is no absolute
necessity for it. No business man
believes that the industrial and
commercial embarrassments which
affiict the country will be of long
continuance. 1t would be folly to
magnify shower into the proper
tion of deluge. All experience
goes to show that in The wake of
the present depression there will
follow returning tide of activity
and profitable enterprise. There is
no elimination in the birth. rate or
in the natural resources of the
finest and freest country in the
world. There is no reason why
business men should secumb to an
attack of megrims, or let their af.
fairs drift into the region of the
doldrums. There are nearly OF
quite seventy million people in the
United States who must be daily
fed, clothed and sheltered. They
cannot subsist by sucking their
paws like alternating bears. EN-
ployers of labor should consider the
future as well as the present and
keep their wheels turning slowly
until such time as they may put on
steam and go ut full speed.

be set down to the account of the
financial incapacity and extrava-
gances of Republican leadership.
The fact that there will be no
change in the tariff that will take
effect before June 80, 1894, and that
the appropriations made by the
present Congress must come out of
the revenues for 1s94-5, fixes the.
responsibility where 1t belongs.
The fiscal situation is not of Dem
ocratic making, and can only be
made measurably tolerable by
economical management until such
time as the repeal of bad laws and
the passage of reform measures
shall make Democratic policies
effective The party which took
possession of power in 1SS0-9O with
o surplus of $1OO,OOO,OOO in the

showing is bad enough If Mr.. Car
Isle be near the mark in his esti-
mate. A private usiness conduct
ed as the public business has been
would hardly escape the imputa-
ton of malfeasance and the correct
i've sitting of legal scrutiny.
But what shall be thought of the
insolent criticism of organs that
shamelessly admit the default of "a
discredited party at the same mo-
ment they cry to put the blame
upon the Congress and the Presi-
dent selected by the people to re-
store the public credit and reform
gross abuses of administration!
Until Democratic policies shall
have been tried and shall have
faffed it would be more becoming
in their opponents to observe a
modest stiffness and hu mility.

STILL A DARK SECRET.
No Trace Of the Body OF Rogers,
So the Reward is
Doubled.
JEFF Smith, of saltwater. Thinks
He Saw the Body in the
River.

Yesterday was the eighth day of the
search for the body of Charles S. Roy
ers. who suicided by jumping from the
Smith avenue bridge on May 10. For
the last~week the main efforts of the
searchers have been confined to that
part of the river from the scene of the
fatal jump to the bend at the foot of
Delos street. Yesterday the steamer
Della. having on board the two divers
and quantity of dynamite, left for
Hastings, and will prosecute the search
from that point up the river. The reIa
tives of the deceased yesterday increased
the reward for the recovery of the body
from $500 to $1,000, with tine hope that
the offering of this sum would increase
the number of searchers and multiply
the chances for the recovery OF the re-
mains.
\"There is no question in my mind
relative to the suicide of Charles S.
Rogers in st. Paul a week ago." said
jeff Smith, who is connected with the
st. CroiX Lumber company at South
Saltwater. Il approached the BRIDGE"
he said, "and saw crowd gathering,
and asked man who was leaning
over the railing what had happened.
He asked me if had not seen a man
dive from the bridge, and l replied that

1.-THE man who advocates damming the
Mississippi river and utilizing the wa
ter for furnishing free motive power to
new manufactures would make strong
candidate for mayor Of this city," re-
marked Hon. c. N. Bell to group of
city politicians in the Windsor hotel
lobby. Enlarging OIL the idea. Mr.. Bell
said his plan would be to have the city
of st. Paul set aside quarter OF mill
ion dollars, the city of Minneapolis set
apart a like sum, and citizens OF each
city to make up the remainder of a mill
ion dollars for the purpose. Let stock
be issued, and the cities and citizens
sion or board of directors to carry out
the scheme. Then say 10 manufactur
erS that they could have free power for
a series of years, provided they would
establish some new enterprise in the
district between tine cities. Provision
could also be made to furnish the cities
with light at small cost by the placing
of an electric plant at some convenient
place. Mr. Bell declared the plan FEAST
IDLE and practical with the outlay of
S1,000,000
Another scheme proposed by Mr.. Bell
is for the city to do its own paving and
thus save large proportion of the cost
of such Improvement. He suggests that
it may be practicable to go to the woods
and cut large quantity of cedar and
store it for a year until dry, and then
saw it into blocks to be used for paving.
He would also purchase other materials.
working large saving in the cost of
cedar blocks and other material, and
then have the work done i'll small
pieces Of part of block where needed
the most, until in the course of few
years the WORKOUT paving, besides addi-
tional paving, may be accomplished.
He alluded to the fact that another saw
ing over the present contract system
might be made by utilizing such of the
old blocks as are fit.

SOLDIER LIFE PALS.
Enthusiasm Dies and the Rolls

Officials Kept Busy Supplying
Officers for the Mill
tia.

: 1t is evident that the enthusiasm of
the youthful aspirants to military fame
who identify themselves with the na-
tiOnal guard of the state sooner or later
tires of the pomp and display that at first
allure them. They resign and drop out,
and the ranks are then filed with other
eXuberant candidates for glory in the
field and encampment. For illustration.
the April report of the adjutant general
shows the following designations and
discharges, and the May report will
probably include no lesser changes OF
the same sort:
Resignations-First infantry. William
&. Bronson, captain Company K; George
p. Roedler, captain Company Il: H. G..
Braden, captain Company G. Second
amt Company F, April 10, 1893.

Iice-Fitst Infantry, John A. Taylor. A..

G. King and Frederick Thompson, Com
pany F.; &. II. Thompson, Company L,
all for absence from drill Second in
fantry, Denver W. Wade, Company G,
for absence from drill, April 80. 1898.
I Perhaps there was good deal of good
sense in the arguments make by Capt.
! Davis, of st. Peter. in the state senate
/ last winter when he urged the passage
I of his bill eurtailing the state national
guard to two regiments and the light
artillery and mounted troop. He insisted,
lit will be remembered, that the COM
panles In good many instances are be-
coming weak by designations and hon
orable discharges, and he ayerred that a
smaller and more compact organization
would tend to the advancement of the
guard.
These constant changes mentione
keep the executive busy selecting new
officers. Yesterday several commits
sions were issued to fill the vacancies
occasiohed by the designations given
above. They are:
Noyes Clark Robinson, commissioned
nrst lieutenant of Company C, First
regiment; Benjamin Ward Rising, COM
missioned captain of the same company;
