"My little nephew was a plump and
healthy baby until year and half old,
then sores broke out behind his ears and
spread rapidly over his head, hands and
body. A physician said the trouble was
scrofula humor in the blood. The child
became one complete sore. We had to
restrain his hands to keep him from
scratching the sores. We were induced
to try Hoods Sarsaparilla, and in q short
time he had more life. He improved rap
idly, his skin became entirely clear OF
sores and he is now a healthy child. y MRS.

the emancipation of labor!
This discomfort, Pickering in the
breasts of the "mob," must newt
ably come to a crisis. Countries
have run red with blood for lesser
grievances than those of the pres

opinions be what they may, let us

but the politics of the future will
be the emancipation of labor and

EDITOR LABOR WORLD: Replying to
yours of the 21st inst, I would say:
That feel both pleased and honored to
be called upon to write letter in the in
terest and behalf of my old-time friend,
T. w. Nichols Mr.. Nichols was resi-
dent of this district number OF years
ago, and there are many people here to-
day who would gladly aid him.
He has been trusted, tried and found
true A champion of !abors cause, unre-
lenting in his warfare against wrong
and oppression, and untiring in his
espousal of the right. While here he was
a leader among men.
In 1892 he was the Peoples party can
didate for sheriff of Houghton county,
and together with the writer hereof,
made one of the grandest efforts in the
peoples behalf it has ever been my pleas
ure to witness. Mr.. Nichols at that
time held very lucrative position at
Calumet and lost it because of his zeal
and tireless efforts to better the condl-
tions of his fellow workmen. He gave
not only his time and efforts, but every
dollar he owned.
The savings of years of hard labor at
his trade were gladly sacrificed on hu-
manity's altar. Thoroughly American
in spirit, intelligent, honest and independ-
ent; he is peculiarly well fitted to be Du-
luth's next sheriff: 1t is rarely that such
man is chosen as a candidate, and if he
is elected Duluth or it's people will have
no cause to regret their choice of candi-
dates l know Mr. Nichols better per-
haps than many of his friends elsewhere,
and would not make the above state
ments were l not absolutely positive of
the position 1 take. I did all in my
power to help elect him as sheriff of this
county in 1892, and will add, that l
stand ready at any time to again help
him to the same position. If the people
of Duluth will honor him to whom honor
is due, J. w. Nichols will be the next
sheriff of that county.
You may publish this if you wish, and
will be obliged if you will send to my ad-
dress several copies of issue containing
same. Yours for the the right, D..

contentment, but the day of en-

darkened Russia. Even now about
10000 factory operatives at St.
Petersburg are battling for their
lights; something new in Russia:
They are hardly organized at all

Internationally forbidden their
doing this for fear that the strikers

The strikers are ordered to return
Immediately to work, or be banished
to their respective native places as
criminals. Shame! How corrupt
is the thing called justice meted
out by Greek. But Russia must be
awakening, and the toilers of other
countries are applauding her first
step in the direction of reform by
pouring into her lap hundreds of
dollars to aid in carrying her on to
victory. Nations are awake. Money
earned by the sweat of the brow, in
the bowels of the earth, in the
store, in the factory, are being
given in hopes that the letters may
be struck from off the limbs of a
fellow worker in a foreign land.
Labor draws no line between
natiOnalities, for all are human
beings and must be regarded as
such.
The great international meeting
of trades unions is being held in.
London. The toilers of all the
leading commercial nations are
now met together, and are laying
plans for the solution of labor
problems. The toiler Of one nation
is shaking hands with the toiler of
another, even though the gov
ernments of their respective c0un-
tries are perpetually "chewing the
rag"
Let governments wrangle; labor
is friendly all over the civilized
world. Monopoly is war; labor is
peace. The people themselves are
drawing together in the bonds of
common interest and friendship.
Tongues and seas no longer hold
the nations apart, objects Of
mutual hostility. This coming to-
gether of labor of nations fortells
the fall of that power whose creed
has ever been, "Obey the powers
that be-"
Discomfort is universal. The
people of many countries show it
by rushing over bodily to one side
then to the other side at election
times. Political parties have gone

end in an uprising of the people:
Some are assured that the day will
dawn when the mobility will rise
up in arms and that the world will
run red with blood. Others believe
that this detestible reign of money
power will meet it's death in the
ballot box. Who can say that such
things will not happen? All re-
forms we're born of the mob!!! Dis
content is progress!! Monopoly
breaches contentment hoping
thereby tC lull the advancement
of labor to sleep. Contentment is
the horse that privilege rides to
death. The contented toiler, if his
satisfaction is detrimental to the
welfare of the ma ority, is but
relic of the dark ages. If all man
kind in the ages past had said:
"COntentment is virtue; let us be
satisfied with our present condition;
let no man dare to upset our peace
of mind under penalty of DEATH
What would have been the history
of the world today? Would not the
negro, yes, and the white man have
been in chains this hour? Would
we ever have heard of Cromwell,
a Shakespeare, Washington, a
Darwin, Lincoln, a Mills, Debs
or a Gompers if our fathers had
been content? No, contentment
is retrogression. Discomfort is
reform! Privilege through all
time has strenuously resisted all
reform originating in the ranks OF
the masses. Discomfort among
the people is the prosperity of the
nation; it is the safeguard against
corruption.
What would the fate of our coun-
try be if it was to be controlled
solely by plutocracy? Why labor
would fall back to it's old level and
become the target at which snobil
ity would hurl its sneers and in
suits. Again the pillory, multi
alton of the 1aborer would be called
up to force the rebel slave into SUBJ
mission. The homes of those who
toll would become prisons, their
children would cry for bread. The
country would be sacrificed to
alleviate nabobs' thirst for gold.
Labor, the backbone of every
nation, would become mean, cow
ering brute, trained to obey the
wishes of Unsuitable greed. But
mOnOpolistic rule has not it's old
power. Once it could openly tear
from the hand of labor it's dues;
today it is highwayman, a thief
that prowls about in the dark.
The people are beginning to awak-
en-; they are becoming aware of the
fact that monopoly is robbery;
that if it is. allowed to pursue it's
course without a check it means
ruin.
Revolution! Who can read the
future? The Russian peasant in
general is contented with his lot;
he is satisfied to look up to the Car
as the cousin of God, as his own
father. Cunning aristocracy has
pushed this content and this
heathenish belief into his Uranium
and he has accepted it. What is

ements upon which the analysis is
based are mere deductions from
the tenor of the subject as it APP
pears from several of the official
documents that have been made
public touching the transaction.
On the whole, however, there is
ground for serious apprehension
that the 81 1872, 500 retained in the
hands of the government for the
purpose will not be sufficient to
satisfy all the demands that will be

THE present prospect is that the
Dawes commission will be sent
back to the territory with author
itv to make a roll OF those entitled
to citizenship in the several tribes.
This of itself is a far reaching piece
of legislation and is, as has so Of
ten been said, the beginning of the
end. When the question Of citi-
zenship in this country Is settled
finally there will be little else to
settle, especially in the Cherokee
nation. The Cherokees must first
know who are bona fde citizens to
be able to tell who are not citizens.
If the Dawes commission becomes
a citizenship court of last resort, 1t
will be for the purpose of allot-
ment of lands among those who are
entitled to share it and will of
course put an end to all mere
claims of citizenship that are being
constantly set up 10y unscrupulous
persons. 1t will also make il i'm
possible for claimants to hrlbe
their way through council, as they
have repeatedly done heretofore.
