The defeat of the Union Pa
cific funding bill may result in
that railroad passing into the
ownership of the government.
While that is a result devoutly
to be desired, it is one too good
to be expected. The capitalis-
tic interests in the United
States have already taken
alarm at such accessibility and,
as a result of the defeat of the
Powers bill, scheme is al
ready on foot to organize a syn
dictate and pay off the govern
ment claim. Such a result is
something. Payment is away

A Tough Outlook.

The city campaign seems to
have developed into a series of
contests in which personal am
bition is the only incentive. The
mayor on the one side is intrigu-
ing for the election Of a council
that will stand in with his ad-
ministration; the republican
machine, on the other, is maneu-
vering for the recovery of it's lost
prestige. The only principle ap-
plicable to a city election at this
time-other than the personal
character of candidates-is city
ownership and operation of city
franchises, and this has been
completely lost sight of: The
issue of personal fitness unac-
companied by a principle of adj
ministration always has and
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1897-01-16

from the nature of things, always
will prove delusion. There
being at stake no principle
around which intelligent and
Conscientious citizens can rally,
a scrap for a good place at the
pie counter is inevitable, and in
such a melee only rogues stand
any show to win.
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1897-01-16

carefully denied anything like
conclusive evidence as to cor
ruption among the city officials,
but the miserable dilly-dal1ying
of Duluth' common council, with
matters of vital concern to the
people, can be traced only to one
of twocauses-corruption or un-
para1leled incompetence. And
the business ability displayed by
a majority of the aldermen in
private affairs is against the
latter assumption.
AS to gambling, there used to
be in the days of Mayor d. Au-
fremont, regular higera of
amateur sports from Duluth to
Superior on every pay day. Any,
body, convers@nt with such peo-
pie and their ways can tell you
that such pi1grimages ceased en-
tirely after the first week of the
highly m oral administration that
followed, and they have never
since been renewed. The fact is,
so far as gambling is concerned,
thatsave on spasmodic occasions
and after due warning, few peo-
pie in duluth at all inclined to
that vice, are aware that there
is any law against it.
Judge Moeris to be commended
for his vigorous instructions.
There is great occasion for them,
and it is to be hoped that the
grand jury will follow his adj
vice faithfully to the bitter end.

A bill was introduced last win
ter in congress, and is said to
be still pending, ITO establish
a bureau of military drill in the
public schools of the several
states and territories" Special

pleas are put forth in behalf of
the measure. One is the benefit
to be derived from the point of
exercise. But much more &C.
tual benefit can be obtained by.
regular gymnastics and calls
themes. Specialists declare that
military drill is defective in
meeting the requiremets of
boys in the growing period.
Some military officers are op-
posed to such a movement. But
above and beyond all the pos
sible benefits or defects that
may arise, it should be opposed
by every lover of humanity. 1t
developes in the child-mind
the spirit of murder. He soon
looks upon human life as cheap.
Instead of cultivating a spirit
of love of an enemy, it will lead
to his destruction. The gift of
life is already considered of far
too little value, as evidenced by
the annual increase of murders,
without introducing measure
of this nature into our CON-
mon schools. Let the people
everywhere, in the interest of
humanity, protest against its
adoption. Let the young mind
be filled with higher aspira-
tons than that of becoming a
soldier, being filled with the
war spirit, and learning to
shoot his fellow man. 1t is
useless to hold peace conven-
tons, while at the same time
we foster and encourage the
war spirit in the minds of our
children.

A Champion Record.

A Champion Record.
If the country got another
dose of confidence like that adj
ministered by the republican
victory in November, there
soon wouldn't be solvent
bank left in the country. In
casual reading we note over
thirty banking institutions that
have gone to the wall within
three weeks and this number
does not include them all by
any manner of means.
And so it goes. The "best"
banking system of late seems
to have been making a champ
ion record. A recent issue of
the Chicago Express enumer-
ates nine that had gone under
on the preceding Monday.
Duluth alone has had four sus-
pensions since the middle of
August, to say nothing of
eight additional during the
preceding few years.
It cannot be said that the
agitation of free coinage has
caused these failures for out of
the thirty, only elk occurred
in states carried by Bryan in
the late election, and they are
all small institutions. Besides,
all these failures have occurred
since the great endorsement of
confidence, Mark Hanna and
the gold standard at the
November election. IF this is
what our republican and gold
democratic friends mean by
prosperity, won't they please
take it away and bring on the
other thing?

he Must Study Long Hours Every Day In
The Chinese school children have in
stilled into them at an early age habits
-of hard. steady study, saysan exchange.
At the age of five boy begins his
schooling. At daylight he rises and.
after dressing as quickly as possible.
he starts breakfastless to school. He
Is given task and after it is completed
he is allowed an hour for breakfast.
Again, later, he has an hour for lunch
con, but he is at his study nearly IL
hours day, seven days in the week.
All this time when he is not receiv-
ing his lessons he is studying aloud at
the top of his voice. He is under the
eye of his master both in school and on
his way to and from school. The lad
n taught rudimentary astronomy,
physics and natural history, butgreater
stress is put upon writing and his lit
erary studies.
"A Thousand Letters" poem. is the
study that forms the backbone of his
literary education. In it are taught the
duties of children to parents and all
such matters. Whatever the study may
be-history, classics or science-every

New York, March 27.-Dun's week
ly review of the state of trade for the
week just ending will, to-day, say:
Rarely have markets sustained such
surprises as they have received of late
with so little loss. Foreign conditions
and London alarms, the collapse of the
iron ore combination, the destructive
foods in the Mississippi valley, and the
decision of the supreme court against
railway associations, have been used to
the utmost, but not even in railroad
stocks has the result been important.
Were all associations of railroads to
cease, it would yet be in the power of
capital controlling important lines to
stop serious rate-cutting if it chose.
With confidence that better times and
larger business are coming, men are
less disposed every day to throw away
good investments. and the very fact
that prices of products are low is re-
garded as a guarantee against much
further decline. In all industries,
also, the number of mills and shops and
hands at work gradually increases.

side
Whose love, in all its fullness. is thine

That love is changeless. and whate'er

bright day
He'll give them to my longing sight
again:
So Faith and Hope shall cheer me all the
way,
And Love. their sweetest sister, soothe

Thus, taking Gods full cup of comforting.
Let me give thanks! and, pouring out
most free
MY life in loyal service vet me bring
To other lives the Joy God giveth me.
