DEBs, CaANGN OF Front.

Eugene Y. Deb5 formally announces
that he has had enough of strikes. In
a speech at Terre haute on Sunday
evening, he said that he did all he
could to prevent the Pullman strike;
that so far as he was concerned this
would be the last strike in which he
should engage, and that hereafter he
should fight out the battle along politi-
cal lines, appealing to the ballot for
restitution of the laDorer's rights"
This is wise conclusion. but it comes
rather late In the day. The time for
him to have discovered the inutiiity of
strikes was several months ago. But it
is gratifying to observe that he has con-
Guided to lock the stable door, even after
the horses have been stolen.
United political action on the part of
workingmen will result in righting the
wrongs to which they are subject. No
other course will avail them. Hereto
fore the workers have wasted their
power, and even worse; for they have
placed in the hands of their enemies
the whips that have been used to
scourge them. A large proportion of
them, if not majority. have gone to
the polls year after year and cast their
votes for the party of high taxation and
low wages. They have permitted the
imposition of onerous duties upon every
article that they and their families con-
sumo. and the exemption from taxation
of the goods that the rich require. The
coat that the laborer wears pays duty
of 800 per cent; the coat of the millions
ARE is taxed but 20 per cent. The IRON
stone plate from which he eats his fru-
gal repast has paid tax of IS per cent
of its value; the china which ornaments
the table of the capitalist has paid but 80
per cent. The cheap carpet that covers
his floor has been taxed at about three
time its cost; the rich tapestry that his
Weather brother can afford has paid
but is per cent.
With such inequalities in our tariff
system, can any wonder exist that the
rich are becoming richer and the poor
poorer every day? Yet the working
men, 10y their voices and votes, have
sought to perpetuate these gross in
CAPABILITIES. They have blindiy obeyed
the mandates of party leaders. who.

INFORMAL AT HOME.
Seven Corners Democratic Club Is
the Host

Seven Corners Democratic Club Is
the Host.
The Seven Corners Democratic club
held an informal Sat Home" last even-
ing, which was delightful occasion.
A good many prominent Democrats
were there to inspect the elegant new
quarters of this spirited organization.
1t was an entirely informal affair and
all present had charming social time.
1t is the purpose of the club from now
on to give frequent informal events of
the character of last evening.
The club contemplated changing its
name. While the organization is COM
posed only of Democrats, it is thought
advisable to have name that mas no
political sound. 1t is desired also to
leave out "Seven Corners" from the
name, as this gives the impression that
only those living in that part of the city
are eligible to membership. whereas
Democrats from all parts of Ramsey
county are eligible. - 2
Among those present last evening
were the following:
DR.. E. H. Whitcomb, DR.. D. G. Jones,
E. j. Darragh, j. A. Campbell. T. j.
O'Leary, w. b. Egan, Fred Wilwer-

of home labor, have in reality been its
worst enemies. Under the protective
system the tendency of wages has been
constantly downward, while there has
been no appreciable diminution of the
cost of living. With a simplicity that
was truly amazing. they have believed
implicitly all that demagogues have
told them OF the blessings of protection.
failing to see that the protection afforded
was to capital and not to labor. They
have shouted themselves hoarse in ap-
plauding protection that robbed them
for the benefit Of monopolists, and that
clothed their children in rags so that
the wealthy might be arrayed in purple
and fine linen.
1t is time that the laborers of the
country should flight out the battle
along political lines, appealing TO the
ballot for restitution of their rights"
If they had undertaken this work years
ago they would not now be the victims
of so many, aud such grievous wrongs.
The ballot is more potent power than
the strike or the boycott.
SIT lightly falls
AS falls the snowflake on the SOD,
And executes the freeman's will
AS lightning does the will of God"
A large share of the wrongs of labor
will have been righted when the labor
ing men shall have ceased to sustain by
their ballots system which they now
condemn by their strikes and bOycotts.
But as long as they condemn by their
words this system and yet sustain it by
their votes they will continue to feel
the grinding heel of oppression. and
year by year this oppression will in
crease and become more unbearable,
leading ultimately to the complete sub
Jugation of the working classes to the
monopofists, or TO revolution that
shall battle the nation in blood. Both
of these dire calamities may be averted,
however. il the laboring men of the
country shall avail themselves of the
weapons which the law has placed in
their hands. Their votes may change
the direction of legislation into proper
channels. They can protest etfectually
against the Injustice bred of monopoly
and privilege, and secure such a reviS-
ion of the laws as shall relieve them of
oppressive burdens and so apportion
taxation as to compel wealth to bear its
just proportion of the cost of govern
ment. They can assert their right to
fair treatment-to fair wages and due
consideration-by electing to Office men
who will faithfully serve them, instead
of devoung their efforts to aiding the
monopolistS in forging still tirmer the
fet.ers that now confine them in sla-
very.
Mr.. Debs' determination is praise
worthy one. Let him follow the policy
he has enunciated, and he will accom-
plish far more for labor in few short
years than he could hope to attain in
century along the lines of physical CO.
ercion comprehended in the strike and
the boycott.

The chief item in the freight ira fife
of the Western roads at present is live
stock, which stock raiserS are hurryiDg
to the markets as rapidly as possible.
The scarcity of corn and the destruction
of pasturage in the Western states by
the heat form the principal reasons why
the raisers are rushing i'll the cattle. If
the stock shipped maintain their pres
ent average it will be only short time
before the price takes a tumble, as
packers have at present about all they
care to handle. and there seems to be-
no signs of let-up In the traffic.

Chairman Donald to consider divisions
on passenger traffic between Chicago
and Baltimore and to take up several

FIGHTING THE FIRE.
The Firemen Hard at Work at
Midnight-One Casualty.

Midnight-OneC Casualty.
AT midnight the fire department was
still fighting fire. The lumber in the
extreme end of the upper yard was be-
ins consumed about as rapidly as could
be done by the flames. The firemen
were doing excellent work in keeping
the fire Within bounds, for the wind was
inclined 10 be playful and blew sparks
about i'll an eXaSperating manner.
IL was stated that several firemen had
been hurt, but this report was found TO
be erroneous. During The afternoon
Lieut.. Phil SteffinS. of Truck No. 4. was
overcome by the heat and had to be
carried TO the drug store at the corner
of Washington and Twelfth avenue
north. He Was given medical attend
ance. and was reported at late hour
as being on the way to recovery.
John Clancy, drunk and dlSorderly,
threw stones at the special police at the
fire last night. He was arrested and
taken TO the north station, where he
passed the night.
AT the time of the explosion OF the gas
house III the afternoon sparks flew over
10 Washington avenue and set tire to
eight frame houses between Fifth and
Sixth avenue and Washington and Sec
0nd street. Inspector John Morrisey
happened 10 be in the vicinity aud i'm
medlately went to work. He secured
the aid of six men and together they
put out the fires. 1t was no easy task,

VICE PRESIDENT STEVENSON, him.

ically in favor Of arbitration as a means
of settling labor disputes. II have an

result in great good to the employers of
labor as we'll as to the great army of
worKingmen throughout our country.
1t would be legislation based upon the
eternal principles of justice aud kind
ness" Mr.. Stevenson's acts harmonize
with his words, as the settlement of the
recent troubles with his miners proved.
These were on strike only during the
time required for him to travel from
Washington to Bloomington. Within
an hour after his arrival at the scene all
difficulties had been adjusted, aud the
men were at work. satisfied with their
work, their pay and their employers;
ana neither the militia nor the reg ular
troops had to be called out to suppress
disturbance.

CHICAGO, July 30.-The first of the
claims against the city for damage to
property during the late strike was filed
today.
The damages for which notice has
been served cover only the property
damaged the first two or three days in
July, and for the legal recognition of
which the time allowed under the
statutes expired tonight.
The claims aggregated $50, 3S9. They
were filed by Attorney Foster. OF the
Grand Trunk. for all the roads. Tie
claim is not complete for the property
destroyed in the early days of the strike,
but it is the best that the railroads could
present in tue hurry necessary to get
within the statutory time of thirty days.
Attorney Foster declared tonight that
when he served the papers upon Mayor
Hopkins the latter flung them across
the room, remarking that Mr.. Foster
could serve as many notices as he chose.
This statement Is denied by Hopkins
and others who were present, their
version being that the mayor took the
papers without comment of any kind.

How 1t Started.

Mr.. Shevlin was seen last evening,
and. in speaking of the origin of the
fire, he said that it caught in the lower
yard between two piles of lumber. With
the assistance of several employees. he
attempted to put it out with pals of
water, but this proving futile, he called
upon his partner, MIR. Carpenter, to
turn in an alarm.
Just how the fire started Is mystery,
but it is thought that it was due to the
carelessness Of party of boys who
were in swimming. and who may have
dropped d lighted match or cigarette.

IAN ARABIAN NIGHT"
Admirably Presented at the Met

rOpOiiCdH.
Perhaps some of the former comedies
produced by the William Morris COM
pany have been as we'll acted as IAN
Arabian Might" but certainly none Of
them, with the possible exception of
"Our Friends" have approached it in
strength. Its strength is not only in
situation. hut Ill its fines as well, and
the fun is FAST without being
undesirabIy furious" All through this
piece Sydney Grundy writing is in his
best style, Astounding in quip and turn
of rare humor. At times tine lines draw
perilously near to the risque, but they
never quite offend even the most deli
cate perception. 1t is almost safe to
say that no comedy at present bidding
for popular favor has anything like the
number of amusing and climac-
teric situations contained in IAN
Arabian Nlght.n In saying "at present
bidding for popular favor" it is not
meant to include such plays as the late
lamented ''Mr. Wilkiuson's Willows"
or kindred plays whose main strength
undeniably lay almost wholly In the
situations introduced and the excellent
companies presenting them. Every act
in IAN Arabian Night" ends in a
splendidly contriVed climax. increasing
materially the power of the play.
Mr.. Morris has part which suits him
admirably. AS Arthur Hummingtop he
is on the stage almost the entire even
ing, although he in no way so subordi-
mates the Others as to make his own
acting appear obtrusive. From begin
ming TO end his work is OF the finest.
While Miss Ada Hawkins part is
hardly second to the stars, yet since
this is her first appearance on the pro-
fessional Stage, even If only in semi
professional light. it deserves of more
extended notice. Her acting was
really of the best kind. as her previous
amateur efforts have gone to show. Her
part was that of Daisy Maitland
Miss Strong could be improved upon
with difficulty as the Mother-in-Law.
Second only to Mr.. Morris, she did a
most creditable piece of work. Mr..
Freeman was at his best. and when
attempting to prove that he had never
been married he fairly convulsed the
audience. His gestures and eX-
preston was especially geo /.
Miss Hawkins and Mr.. Mayall were a
great success as the tough pair. They
were so natural you'd have thought
they knew something Of what they
were doing" even if Miss Eta hau

Little, if any, fault could be found with
