MORE RAINBOW CHASING.

. Congress has adjourned and
the eight hour bill, the sea-
mems bills and other measures
pushed by the A. F. of L. were
hung up in committees. This
means that we are to have
another couple of years OF rain
bow-chasing for "remedial leg
is1ation." Of course the poll
ticians do not fear the labor
vote; they do not respect labor
because labor does not respect
itself, but is willing to be count
ed as chattel by bosses. Only
when men get angry and revolt
do the bosses become fearful
and attempt to stay a stampede
by granting concessions.

We are in receipt of an anon
ymous communication signed
"Laboringman" which does not
appear in the columns of the
Labor World for the reason
that it was not accompanied by
the writer's name. AS is usual
with anonymous letters it con-
tains nothing good of anyone,
but the writer is short on cour-
age or does not believe what he
writes to be true. In any event
he does not come out in the
clearing but like the willy Span
lard he prefers to fire from am
bush. No, dear "Laboringman"
if you have anything mean to
say of your neighbor and are
afraid to say it to his face don't
us to do it for you. It
savors of bad faith when you
strike from the dark. Be man
ly, sign your name and face the
person you accuse.

SUPERIOR IN DARKNESS.

Our neighbors over at Supe-
rior are having some trouble
with their franchise sharks.
The Electric Light company
and the mayor are very much
at outs and in consequence the
city is in darkness so far as
electric lights are concerned.
The company want $126 per
light per year and the commit
tee made a contract at that
price but Mayor Dietrich
promptly vetoed it and says
the city shall pay but $50 per
light, and thus far he has been
sustained by the council. For
once in it's existence Superior
has an honest and able mayor,
with a city attorney in the per
son of Mr.. Mcintyre, at his back
who is equally honest and able
and if there is not rafting
among the dry bones before
their terms expire the indica-
tions are very misleading. Su-
perior, like Duluth, has been
plundered by a: lot dishonest
reprobates, who, if they had
their deserts, would be behind
the bars for their country's s
good.

CONGRATULATIONS ]. J.

Married-Miss Marie Ger

June Goth, 1898, at Fargo, North
Dakota. At home after August
1st.
We received the above an
nouncement through the mails
this week and our heartiest
congratulations are extended
the newly welded couple.
Mr.. J. J. Jordon is one of the
editors of the Daily Argus, pub
lished at Fargo, North Dakota,
and one of the pioneers of that
state. He is one of the ablest
writer's in the northwest and
for many years published the
Fargo Daily Republican, the
oldest paper in North Dakota.
May J. J. and his bride see
many, many happy days is our
most earnest wish.

most greedy combines which

most greedy combines which
was ever suffered to exist on
the face of the earth, viz: the
telegraph and express co,npan-
les. According to statistics
from other countries telegraph
messages can be transmitted at
a profit for less than one-half
what the Western Union and
North American telegraph COM
panies charge and it is a motor
ious fact that the tariffs
charged by the express COM
panies are exorbitant beyond
description, and that annually
these gigantic corporations rob
the public out of millions of
dollars. Yet they dodge the
pa1try sum of one penny on
each package which the gov
ernment has levied to help de-
fray the expense of the. war
with Cuba. These are the
people who shouted so loudly
for national honor two years
ago. Where has their patriot
ism gone so suddenly?

DEMANDING RIGHTS.

The members of the labor or
ganizations in Denver are prov
ing themselves to be not only
enthusiastic but practical in
the struggle for upholding their
rights. Just now they are en-
gagged in an effort to so fortify
themselves in the new charter
which is now in course of prep
aration for their city that all
efforts for their future oppres-
sion may be void. They have
secured representation on the
commission of the new charter
in charge and these representa-
tives have been chosen from
among their most able and
most Influential friends. In
addition they have adopted a
platform setting forth the prin-
ciples they wish to have incor-
porated in this important docu-
ment. and this platform has
been referred to the commits
sion, where, with the backing
of labor friends among it's
members it is sure to receive
thorough consideration. A
mong their demands are abso-
lutte local self-government, the
elimination of all property
qualification as to offce-hold-
ing, the substitution of days
labor for the contract plan in
all municipal work, the adop-
ton of an eight-hour day with
a two-dollar minimum wage,
the power to establish muni-
cipal printing office, and the
right of the people to vote on
the revised charter bill as a
whole. In addition to these,
they demand the total prohibi-
tion in the future of all public
franchises and the public own
ership of all the means of pub
lie service. It will be seen at
a glance that this is a very
comprehensive bill of rights,
and if, as now seems probable,
any considerable number of
these provisions are incorpora-
ted in the new charter the COM
mon people of Denver will be
we'll protected against many of
the wrongs from which the
denizens of other cities of. the
same class suffer.

The strike of the Chicago
stereotypers has caused to be
formed a combine among the
bosses that is invulnerable. It
will stand as a stone wall

FANTASTIC TlMEPIECES.
Old Fashioned Watches Were Made IE
Many Curious Shapes.

Old Fashioned Watches Were Made Iz
Many Curious Shapes.
Since timepieces have come with.
in the reach of everybody and
watches are made large enough fo1
bicycle bars and small enough fo1
the lady's ring it is curiously inter.
esting to recall some of the old fash
ioned ones that served our ancestors
SO well generations ago. Long be.
fore our time or that of our grand
fathers watches were made in such
fantastic fashion that it is a marvel
that their owners managed to carry
them about.
No one seems to know the exact
date of the first timepiece, but the
middle Of the fifteenth century
seems to have been the period when
'portable clocks'' began to appear
in the different collections of anti
quaries there are few specimens of
the Nuremberg eggs,' or watches
made in oval shapes and coming
from the town after which they
were named.
In the possession Of Lady Fitzger-
aid of England there was one watch
which was shaped like an eagle
which had a small boy on its back.
This odd ornament was made to hint
at the story of Jupiter and Gany-
mede. The breast of the bird open
ed to show the dial beneath it, and
the works were most elaborately or
namented. When the fair owner of
this treasure did not wish to wear it
on her girdle, she could stand it on
her table.
Gold and silver smiths seem to
have let their fancy run riot during
the sixteenth century, and watches
made in the form of ducks, acorns,
of cockleshells and of all possible
things made their appearance. Most
of them struck the hour, and one
notable invention fired a diminutive
pistol at certain intervals.

THE RAZOR TRADER.

Working q '.First Chair"
A barber who for many years was
connected with one of the big up
town establishments has lately quit
the place where he worked SO long
at the "frst chair; and has gone
into little business venture Of his
own that is paying him better than
his trade ever did. The scheme he
is now operating is an original one,
and if business continues to increase
doubtless others will follow his ex-
ample. The ex-barber not only car
ries on his trade in this city, but on
certain days in the week invades
Brooklyn and Jersey City. He car
rjes his stock, which consists Of a
dozen or 50 razors and several homes.
Some of the razors are new, but
many of them are old ones which he
has 'touched up,'' and these are al
ways preferred by a knowing bar
Der. He enters a shop and starts
conversation on razors. This results
in each barber producing his "pet"
as we'll as those that he is getting
tired of and which he is always
willing to sell or trade. This is the
ex-barber's opportunity, and he pro-
duces his stock. Then he makes a
dicker, and generally before he
leaves he trades one Of his razors
for the one the barber is dissatisfied
with, but the barber always has to
pay something. The usual price in
the transaction is from 25 to SO
cents. It often happens, too, that
the barber will take fancy to one
of the new razors, and in such cases
he exchanges, but of course pays
more than if it were just swap.
Thus this man travels from place to
place, and sometimes razor given
in exchange down town and pro-
nounced by its former owner as no
good will be exchanged for another
up town, some barber becoming i'm
pressed while handling it with its
ring and good looks.
All BARRIERS have an idea that a
razor when used too often becomes
what they call "tired, " and they be,
lieve that homes, straps or anything
else cannot bring it around all fright.
These "tired" 1azors are the ones on
which the ex-barber clears his big
gest profits, and he gets them for al
most song. He fixes them up at
home nights, and these form the
bulk of his stock the next day.
"Tired" razors are peculiar things,
he says, but if you know how to
handle them they only need a nights
rest.
This man does not confne himself
alone to razors, but carries other
ba-ber's tools about with him. He
will sell or swap anything, but there
must always be a small money con-
sideration. Frequently razor swap
ped by him finds it's way into his
hands again, and in many cases he
has swapped it back to it's original
owner. Of course the old owner rec
ognies it and hesitates to make an
exchange, but he is sure of his own
skill in fixing the razor up and
leaves it on trial. He says they sell
dom fail to prove all right, and on
his next trip to that shop the barber
gives another razor and pays the
difference. York Sun.
