THIS is BUT AN INQUIRY
Into Railroad Troubles, and
the Pullman Strike Is

JUNCTION.

CHICAGO, Aug. 25.-Strike Commits
sioner Carroll ID. Wright was highly in
censed today over the publication of the
story that he carries Pullman pass.
He said that that fact and the Iact thai
he was personal friend of MIR. Pull
man have no bearing whatever on his
conduct in the present inquiry.
IL have done all i'll my power to get a.
the bottom OF this strike" he said
"And my friendship for George NJ
Pullman has not nor will not effect my
bearing in the case. The pass was
given me in return for certain literary
work l did for MI. Pullman. ]
have used it while travelling fol
the government to get accommodations
for which the government would other
wise have to pay" MIR. Wright added
that he was friend of organized labor
but that that should not Interfere with
the performance of his duty and should
not disqualify him from hearing the
case; so his friendship for Pullman
need not disqualify him on the other
hand.
That this was commission of in
qulry, and not arbitration, and that
hence his friendship for Pullman need
not and could not affect the result.
That the president had appointed the
commission not 10 investigate the Pull.
man strike, but to investigate the strike
affairs of two certain railroads, and that
the Pullman strike was merely an in
cldent o. the inquiry.

No doubt the money lenders and the

those who create all wealth-the wage

such condition of affairs is wrong, but

from what they earn fIom their pro.

here. Every dollar they earn is
again spent in the city, and
is it any more than justice that
if they can furnish as good music as any
band in the country. aud in the past
they have shown that they can. they
should be engaged? The ST. Paul bands
have furnished music for the different
parks in the city for the last twenty
five years to the entire satisfaction of
the general public. and not until this
late date have we discovered that our
music is too classic for the common
people. and is not understood. If any
one will take the trouble 10 glance back
and compare the different programmes of
the two foreign bands who have played
at Como with those of ours, they will
see that our programme has been as
varied as either one of them. All we
ask is that the park board should show
more justice and local patriotism to our
home talent, and we as musicians will
do our utmost 10 cater to the musical
wants and tastes of the st. Paul public.

A ST. PAUL BIGAMIST.
His Wife After Him With Sharp
stick.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. ga strange
story of one mans perfidy has come to
light i'm the divorce court here. Mrs.
Annie Allis. an employe of a New York
publishing house, has begun an action
for the annulment of divorce which
her husband. Edmund c. Allis, obtained
from her in San Benito county, this
state, in April last. The proceedings
reveal another chapter In a domestic
episode that startled society in st. Paul,
Mimi, in 1885. At that time Edmund
c. Allis was au attorney in that city
and pillar of Christ church. He
disappeared mysteriously. and at
first it was announced he had de-
faulted with funds of which he was
treasurer. 1t TRANSFERRED that he had
eIoped with girl named Sophie Sam
derson, who had been friend of Mrs.
Allis in Philadelphia before her mar.
rage. Mrs. Allis traced the guilty
couple to Louisville. There Allis de-
serted the Sanderson girl, who went
back to her home in Philadelphia, and the
wronged wife finally forgave Allis and
went to live with her husband in Bos-
ton. She was doomed to disappoint-
ment, however, according to the CON-
plant filed today. Her husband de-
serted her again in 1888, running away
with girl referred to in the complaint
as Emma" whose ruin ne had ac-
complished. This girl, it is alleged, was
deserted in the West. From 1883 until
the present year, Mrs. Allis heard moth
ing more of her recreant spouse.
Her first information was received in
April last, when she heard of the di-
vorce granted in California, under
allegations of desertion and extreme
cruelty. AlIis. it is charged, represent
ed that his wife was resident of New
London, Conn.,, and caused the sum-
mons TO be mailed there, knowing that
it was not likely to reach her. Allis has
since married an estimable young lady
named Stevens, whose parents reside at
Santa Rosa, this state. His discarded
wife is out for revenge. 1t is her inten-
ton to secure the annulment of the San
Benito county divorce, and to prosecute
the recreant husband for bigamy.

Help for the Money Lenders.

To the Labor Editor of the Globe.
At the mass meeting the other night
in Market hall to discuss the question of
relief for the unemployed, the interests
of the poor. downtrodden, starving
money lender were taken care of. 1t
was suggested that money could be
borrowed by the city from the banks to
relieve the unemployed. OF course it
could beat the ''legal'' rate Of interest.
Under our present money system the
spectacle is here presented of men
starving, aid no relief in sight unless
the money lender gets his rake.off. Is
the money in the banks any better than
money the city might issue? Not one
whit. Is it not time that the super
stitious worship of this monopolized
money" cease? Ii the city Of st. Paul

through the organization. This ben
eft has accrued through the fair
dealing of the clerks belonging to
the union. When a customer buys Of a
clerk having union card he knows
that there is responsibility fixed upon
the clerk, and that not only the mer-
chant, but the union. will see that any
grievance or complaint will be inveSti-
gated. \ clerk belonging to union
must, of necessity, preserve Il good
moral tone. The public long since has
found it advantageous to deal with
union clerks. and this led to an estab-
lishment of confidence between the
union and the public OH the one hand
and union and the merchant on the. other
so that all three classes of people now
give tile union their hearty support and
announcement.
