The May Day demonstrations in Eng
land are growing from year to year. In
Hyde Park last month not less than a
quarter Of a million people were present,
and from u platforms u speakers were
stirring up what in this free CD country is
called the "discontent of unreasonable
labor"
On the various platforms were to be
found the men misrepresented by the
lying press in this country-Cunningham
Grahame. On the same platform was H.
M. Hyndman, the most harmless looking
and respectable evolutonist the world has
ever seen; DR.. Aveling, the gentleman who
in this city corked up Prof. Folwell, of
the State University, so effectually and
made that gentleman confess that in most
the doctor said he fully agreed and the
only defense the professor had for our I'M
just capitalistic system was that Capital
was entitled to some reward for it's absti-
nence," a babysh plea that DR.. Aveling
disposed of in few words. The abstinence
of capital consists chiefly in refraining
from eating the fruits of it's own labor, and
in emitting to deal justly with it's fellow
men.
Will Steadman and John Burns were
also there. On the Fabian platform were
to be found a county councillor, a dra-
matist, clergyman, schoolmaster nov
elist, singer and several actresses. Even
the middle classes in England are not
afraid to be found pushing in the direction
In Glasgow 1900 people were assembled,
notwithstanding the weather was showery.
At Manchester the turnout was a COM
pound of grand weather and immense
crowds and the trade was good for boot
makers, orange sellers and policemen The
labor people were forbid the park, but
went there all the same. The cowardly city
fathers sent a strong force of police, but
these were soon converted into the indie
pendent labor party and as all was lovely
the police had nothing to do but join the
procession. Out of pity for his lonesome
ness one policeman was given charge OF
the literature van.
We have accounts of numerous other
gatherings all over England in which reso-
lutions were adopted denouncing the house
Of lords and demanding the eight-hour day
in all occupations. England is rapidly
moving forward toward the emancipation
of labor from the chains of the favored
citizens that have long held in their
grasp the common inheritance of man,
using them as foundation on which is
the only possibility of constructing an aris-
tocracy of wealth. How long will Ameri-
can labor consent to wear the chains woven
by corrupt legislation, interpreted by venal
courts and enforced by interested execu-
tives in the interest of individual greed
and corporate tyranny?

Blair, Stewart Lackey and Tom Davidson

CHICAGO, June 5.-All early cables gave
evidence Of a firmer tone in the Wheat
markets of Britain and the continent. Crop
news was generally bullish, most of them
asserting that the growing wheat had lost
ground during the past few days, because
of drought Reports from Kansas We're
very sensational, putting the entire crop
of the state at 100000 of bu, or about
one-sixth of what was expected earlier in
the season. More conservative statements,
although admitting great damage done,
assert that the crop will likely yield 25,00o,-
600 to 30,0000O0 blu. The apparent strength
here was due more to the absence of Of
ferings than to any active demand The
small shorts wanted to cover and found
but little wheat for sale. Armour bought
some early and a few st. Louis shorts sent
in buying orders. Later Milmine and
Schwartz were free buyers, but failed to
influence the markret much. At noon the
market was decidedly weak and indicated
a loss of all the early gain before the
close. All bids from abroad were below a
working basis The oats market was higher
and excited on reports of total failures
throughout large areas. Corn was strong
in sympathy with oats.
July wheat opened at sec, against 55k@
555sc yesterday, advanced to 561ac, lost Ac,
firmed up to 5612@565sc, dropped to 5614 c.
gained 4c, sold down to 56ls I56Ac by 1876
and closed at 56G56lsc.
September wheat opened at 53kc, against
57asG571hc yesterday, lost 1sc, sold at 5S12c
declined to Sc by 1890 and closed at 571sc
December wheat opened at 603sc, being nc
better than yesterday, advanced to Gle, lost
NC firmed up to 605sc by 1890 and closed

County Seats.
PINE CITY WINS HER CASE.
This VIII Change the Time Cards on
All Limited Trains in the State,

The people of Pine City will rejoice to
hear that the supreme court has declared
the law Of 1893 requiring railroad COM
panles to stop all passenger trains at coun-
ty seats, constitutional and valid Judge
Canty mas handed down six decis-
ions, of which this was the most impor-
tant- Pine City is really the only county
seat affected by the decision, and it was
Tor the benefit of the people there thai
Representative Anderson introduced the
bill, which is intended to compel the St.
Paul and Duluth road to stop the limited
train to Duluth at Pine City The law is
held not to be an unreasonable regulation
or an interference with interstate COM
mercc.

A STUDY
From the Constitution of the United
States.

Recommended to the various legislative
bodies and the officials of the various po~
litical divisions of the United States.
preamble. We, the people of the United
States, in order to form a more perfect
union, establish justice, insure domestic
Tranquility provide for the common de-
Tense promote the general welfare and Sc
cure the blessings of liberty to ourselves
and our prosperity, do ordain and establish
this constitution for the United States of
America"
The reason why we take the liberty of
recommending this study is because from
the general absence of justice in the for
mutation and administration of our laws
and the utter disregard on the part OF the
various legislative bodies to the general
welfare, we have been led to think this
neglect of the purposes for which the con-
stitution was established, comes from ig
norance rather than willful perjury; and
we therefore hope when the governing
powers take time to study the matter
there will be more justice and regard for
the general welfare displayed in making
and administering our laws.

people are stirred with sympathy for
people that they are powerlesss to help

despicable tyranny exists in our midst, we
