ABOUT srHIKEs. \ Il
In the manner Ii which business

Il as5 conducted in these latter years
tits i. necessary TO employ great mum
beers Of workmen; hence contracts.
covering long periods Of time must
be entered into, and such contracts
eqpently contain clauses involving,
heavy forefeitures s. penalties for
failure Efilu of prompt performance.
This fact compels employers Is
beware of serious difficulties with
their working force. They know
/ that Y = general strike might involve
them il enormous loss. The official
reports Of the strikes show
that in many instances where
employers have conceded an increase
sof, say, 10 per cent demanded by
the workmen, the increase was fol-
lowed by q dismissal from employ
ment Of 10 per cent Of the workers.
lf this were true generally it would
mean that wages as whole were
no greater than before. They only
appear to be increased because the
men retained in employment receive
more than before. It would be
better for society as whole and far
better for the working classes them
selves if all were retained in unin-
terrupted employment, even without
increase Of wages, than that some
should, have their wages increased,
while others receive nothing ard are
left to starve.
f In order. to show that wages have
really increased, the returns should
also show that the the number of
men employed continued tobe as
great as before. Otherwise the
|laboring class as whole receive no
more money as wages. Given q
certain number of men employed at
for ease computation, say, dollar q
day. They demand a dollar and ten
cents. The employers, with heavy
contracts on hand, know not how to
resist that demand. They yield.
In a few weeks they discharge 10
per cent Of their employees; and
against this decree the men have no
recourse. The reduction of force is
made up in the shop by resort to
all sorts of small economies. Ten
per cent of the men formerly en-
ployed are sent into compulsory
idleness. Their labor is lost to
society, and themselves and their
families are brought to penury.
Yet no note is taken of this. So
long as the men in actual employ
ment are paid the customary, or even
increased wages, it is taken for
granted that all is we'll. No census
Of the unemployed is taken.

The governor has designated
Friday, May 4th, as Arbor day, and
it will doubtless be generally
observed throughout the state, by
schools generally, and by indi-
viduals. Everyone who has an
eye to beauty and comfort, and
home, should prepare to observe
the occasion, and should on the
day set, plant as many trees as he
can care for. They will require
but a little care, and care is not
an expensive commodity, and will
repay a hundred fold, in after
years, the labor spent upon them.
They lend comfort, in shade, ane
beauty, in appearance, tothe, home ON
and should be cultivated about
every house and home. x

llcan Party.
TRAITORS HAVE TO CO..
Grand Forks Selected as the
Place for Holding the i
Convention

S0nYentlOn
The state republican committee.
had an interesting and momento1s
session at Fargo yesterday. It fred,
the place and date Of the next repub-
lican state convention at Grand.
Forks July II, and III took an inven-.
tory Of stock casting about for the
Jonah that has been troubling ssthe
Old Man of the Sea" with his bilge5
water politics for some time. The
parsonage was found to be that
unique bunco statesman and poll
tical pile-driver Judson LaMoure Of
Pembina. Jud. has never forgiven
the election of Hon. Henry G. Hans
brough to the U. S. Senate, when
the legislature might have discover
ed his colored flannel waving on a
Chippewa pike staff upon the Cana
dian border, if it had only looked in
that direction. For some time it has
been limited at by the LaMourites
that the republican state committee
would be asked to investigate Jud.
LaMoure's silly charges that Senator
Hansbrough had used up $4,000
national campaign money in N.
Dakota two years ago, and not &C.
counted for it. 1t will be remem-
bered that LaMoure, after Roach
was duly elected Senator, jumped
abroad "the band wagon" and claim
he did it, and that he was as good .
democrat as Leistikow and the rest
Of them. Following in the sena-
torial train to Washington with
Benton, Roach and others, he tried
to cut wide swath there and finally
opened out his stock of half-breed
ISLANDERS on Hansbrough. He paid
Dunn, Van Antwey and others of
the seedy newspaper row-a few
terrapin soups and they telegraphed
and wrote their papers a lot Of rot.
Finally Hansbrough made q state
ment in the senate and read from
one of these soup-house sheets a
statement that the great and only
Jud was close friend Of Senator
Gorman, of Maryland.
Jud had made this Kickapoo bluff:
II am going to see Senator Gorman
tonight, and lam going to put him
on. If they do not let my friend
Roach alone I will make it hot for
the high and mighty republicans
holding officers from North Dakota.
For instance, Senator Hansbrongh
and will have very little difficulty
in the process.

weed from Pembina:. The sena-
tor from North Dakota has not
known me very long, but ! had
hoped that he and every other in
telligent citizen Of this country
would have known enough Of my

against public men. ! i OF the
