New Orleans has had bloody riots
which practically amount to a race
war. The white stevedores and long
shoremen have determined that the
colored men shall not work in their
places, and are making daily on
slaughts on the negroes who dare to
make the attempt. Several black
men have been killed, and reign of
terror exists. The police may not be
in league with the rioters, but they
manage to 'arrive on the scene' after
the firing is over, and the roiters have
fed. They are useful in finding the
dead bodies of the slaughtered negro
es, and they help more or less in car
ing for the wounded, but they afford
no protection whatever to the living
colored people, and apparently make
no effort to prevent further blood
shed.

The action of the Virginia jury
which acquitted Capt. Goodman of
the murder of Col. Parsons is mex
plicable on any ground consistent
with justice. The crime was commit
ted in cold blood, and the moral of
the verdict seems to be that the life
of Northern man, if a hot headed
Southerner sees fit to shoot him, will
not be protected in Virginia courts,
nor his death avenged, if his wounds
happen to be mortal. The Richmond
Times and the Richmond Dispatch,
both Democratic papers, condemn the
verdict in plain terms, and the former
says:
''It is useless to publish handbooks
of Virginia, when we publish along
with them the verdict of jury of
Virginians upon such a crime as the
murder of Col. Parsons.''

A scheme of canal construction
which completely dwarfs the Panama
and Nicaragua projects is that pro-
posed by the Maritime Canal company
of North America, which seeks incor-
poration by the New York state legis-
lature at Albany.
It is proposed to connect the great
lakes with the Atlantic by a ship
canal, beginning at the mouth of the
Welland canal, on Lake Erie and util-
izing and connecting Lake Erie and
Lake Ontario, the St. Lawrence river,
Lake Champlain, and the Hudson. 1t
involves the construction of a canal
capable of receiving vessels of ocean
draught from a point near Albany,
on the Hudson, to Lake Champlain,
the deepening of that lake, a canal
from the head of Champlain to Lake
St. Francis, on the ST. Lawrence river,
the broadening and deepening of the
present Canadian canal system
along the ST, Lawrence and the con-
struction of practically new canal
from Ontario to Erie across the We'll
land Peninsula.
1t is difficult to give a close estimate
OF the cost of this stupendous project,
but it may be roughly stated as some
where in the neighborhood of the pro-
posed capitalization of the company
that is to say $3.50, 1000, ,O0O.-States-
man.

SAW-DUST BREAD.

A proposition has been made in Chi
cago, and it emanates from a charita-
BILE society,". to feed the poor upon
bread made partly out of wood. It is
asserted that in Berlin there is is q
great bakery where two hundred
weight Of wood bread is turned out
every day for popular consumption.
The bread is made out of sawdust and
rye-four-three-fourths saw-dust. A
chemical process, it is said, takes away
the texture and the taste of sawdust
and liberateS the Sacharine and nutri-
tive elements, and. with little rye
flour the compound makes nutritive
bread, which is sold very cheaply!
What is wanted now is series of
leading editorials. from the Pioneer
Press, to demonstrate that the poor
mans preference for wheat bread is
merely a cultivated prejudice, grow
ing out of an era of drunken specu-
lation," when every workingman had
work at good wages; and that really
sawdust is a very fine and substantial
article of diet, and the best use we
can make of the lumber yards is to
grind than up and make johnny-cakes
for the people.
Let the good work go on;-sawdust
bread and the single-gold-standard!

and go elsewhere, but she could not
destroy us. The organ of $1,000 voters
is indestructible. If we were pro-
scribed for opinions sake it would
hurt the Flour city thousand times
more than it would us; for it would be
said that her merchants would not
tolerate freemen, but wanted only
serfs; and that honesty must crawl

Heretofore we have had our press
work done by the Minneapolis Tri-

of our weekly expenditure by going
into the building Of the Penny Press,
and using their presses. The type
used in the Forum, it will be seen, is
larger; and this change will be well
coined by most of our readers.
And so, with the first number of the
third volume we greet you all, with
best wishes for your happiness and

The end of this volume will find us
plunged into the greatest presidential
campain ever fought in this country.
Upon its result, as we solemnly be-

throughout the whole world. Never
did a more momentous era press upon
the human race. Let all base thoughts
drop from us as the tree sheds it's

altitude OF the hour and it's high ne

DEANS ANDREWS" FIRE WAR
DEN,

That elaborate old humbug, General
Christopher Columbus Andrews, has
been appointed state fire warden, to
prevent the kindling of fires anywhere
in Minnesota, at $1,000 year. The
general will look wiser, after the fire
is over, than any other man ever
looked before it.. His manner is orac-
ular; and before he speaks he moves
his mouth in a preparatory fashion,
which a distinguished lady authoress
once said reminded her of the move
ments Of q hen just as she is about to
lay an egg. Our country friends would
appreciate the comparison if they
could see the GENERAL work his lips.
The General could earn his $1,000
year very easily, if he would reissue
his great essay, which he put forth to
his command, during the war, on
"How to Bake Beans" The General
got no thanks for his philanthropic
attempt. Some irreverent scoffers
even called him, forever afterwards,
"Beans Andrews"
A new edition OF that great work
is needed now. II should be printed,
at the expense of the state, and spread
broadcast in the regions where the
men live who are in the habit of kind
ling forest fires; for if they could only
be induced to eat plate of the Cen
erals beans they would never kindle
any more tires-at least not in this
world.
Bring on your beans, General. Send
a plate to Harry Hayward, and an.
other to Bill King.

family. by striking, or refusing to
work. The object being clearly de-
fined there will be no trouble in find
ing the means to reach it,
And the Pioneer Press-the Devils
Advocate Of the corporations-ap-
proves Of the constitutional conven-
ton. That Is enough to settle ali
doubts. 1t says:
1T has been period of enormous rail-
road development, resulting in an enor-
nous increase of the relative population of
cities. 1t has brought into play the stu
pendous power and possibilities of asso-
ciated capitalists and organized labor.
These great changes have evolved new So
cial problems They have widened the
field of governmental activity. They have
made necessary corresponding changes in
the organic law of the state"
There again you see the cloven-hoof
sticking out. Associated capitalists
and organized labor"
Organized labor is to be suppressed.
1t will probably, as usual, help in its
own suppression! 1t is way it has.
The taxpayers will spend 5000, 900:
but the corporations will be more
firmly entrenched than ever.
This is really the boldest and most
radical attempt to override the peo-
pie that has yet occurred in the his
tory of this state. Think Of it! A
Legislature, without any request from
any part of the people, in time Of
unprecedented suffering of all classes,
asks the poverty-stricken citizens
now paying thirteen million dollars of
taxes every year, to spend hundreds of
thousands of dollars more to provide
securities against red-hags and con-
fiicts Of labor and capital, which no
sensible man in this state fears; or
which, if they come, existing laws are
fully adequate to suppress.
And they will spend another $500, 900
to carry the proposition before the
people in 1896. And think of the
vistas d.at opens up!
The pscpie of Minnesota-th hon
est people-had better get down on
their knees and pray to the Almighty
Ruler OF the universe to save them
from the doom which is slowly closing
in upon them. Only the power of God
can successfully fight such tremen-
dOus enemies.
