Monday evening at Staples. A dry
goods box turned bottom up served
for a speakers stand and an en-
thusiastic silver meeting was held
in the open air. Speeches were
made by Messrs. Smith of Virginia
and Austin and Forbes of Duluth.
The crowd was not wanting in

audience and at Staples are said to
be in a ratio of not much less than

w. w. Butchart.
The Labor World this week presents to
it's readers the very excellent likeness of
w. w. Butchart, the present sheriff of St.
Louis County and candidate for re-elec
ton on the silver ticket.
During Mr.. Butchart's term of office he
has demonstrated the fact of his compe
tency to manage the affairs of the county
to the best advantage of the taxpayers
and to the entire satisfaction of the people
generally.
The sheriff's office is one of the most
important in the county and requires the
strictest attention to the details and
management of it's affairs. Mr.. Butch
art, realizing it's ardious duties, sur
rounded himself with a coterie of able,
courteous and efficient deputies, who
have been ever ready and willing to dis
charge their duties with fidelity. Mr..
Butchart, during his official career, has
always been a friend of the common
classes, he consequently early realized
that the cause of the people was on the
side of the free silver movement. While
he was elected by the republicans and
mated by that party, he Withdrew and
was honored at the convention last
week.
"Bill'' Butchart is known throughout
St. Louis county for his good nature,
generosity and charitable feeling toward
the unfortunate No deserving person
ever appeals to Mr.. Butchart in vain.
At the age of eighteen years he came to
the United States, locating in the copper
country of the Upper Peninsula of Michi-
gan, where he worked for a while in the
copper mines. Upon the revival of the
mining business subsequent, to the panic
of 1878, Mr.. Butchart removed to the
Marquette iron district and for the next
five years he followed the business of
contracting in connection with the char
coal blast furnaces of that region. In
1878 he came to Duluth and obtained
the position of foreman at the Duluth
Iron Company's blast furnace, that used
to stand on Rice's Point, about midway
between Elevator / and the Imperial
mills Here Mr. Butchart worked for
over two years.
After serving for a period on the police
force of the city, Mr.. Butchart was elect
ed county commissioner of St. Louis
county, serving continuously through
several elections for over six years, and
finally resigning, two years ago, from an
unexpired term of office to assume the
duties of sheriff of St. Louis county, to
which office he was elected, after a. hot
campaign, by majority of nearly four
thousand over his three opponents.

or who take this means of getting
from one port to another.
On other boats on which the work
is not nearly so hard, the fremen
have shorter hours, working three
hours on and off, or four on and
eight off. They work this way on
all of Jim Hills freight boats, and
on all passenger steamers except
the North Land and North West.
Their fremen are also badly pro-
vided for in other ways. Their
dining room, in which poor food is
served, is about 12x12, and many of
the men are compelled to stand
while eating, and those who are at
all sensitive cannot eat because of
the stencil from water closets and
wash rooms, which are only separ-
ated from them by a thin board
partition. These rooms are not
taken care of and are reeking with
filth.

Two other fremen became i'll and

they were told if they got off they
would get no pay, so they went to
Detroit where they were put off and
money refused. Four others also

painters, who lasted for about an
