CONFESSIONS OF
A JOURNALIST
Respectfully Dedicated to the
Evening Herald and the
Weekly Tribunal.

There is no such thing as all
independent daily press. We
are all slaves! You know it.,
and I know it. There is not
one of you that dares express
an honest opinion. I am paid
$3.50 per week for keeping hon.
est opinions out of the paper I
am connected with. The man
who would be so foolish as to
write honest opinions would
soon be out on the street hunt
ing for another job. The bus
mess of a journalist is to dis
tort the truth; to lie outright;
to pervert; to vilify; to fawn at
the feet of Mammon, and to sell
his country and his race for his
daily bread. We are the tools
and vassals of rich men behind
the scenes. We are intellectual
prostitutes, and. our time, our
talents, and our possibilities
are all property of other men. =

press banquet.

The election returns prove
every statement made by Aus
tin in his so-ca11ed "confiden-
tia1' interview with Findley
but one. Austin lied about
the News Tribune, for instead
of being, as he alleged, still
the puppet of Gil Hartley, it
made a manly and vigorous
fight for the entire republican
ticket-a fight that, but for the
treachery of the entire cor
poration interests heretofore
with the republican party
would have been entirely sue
cessful. The corporation in
fuences knitted Mr.. Mitchell
and assisted Mr.. Truelsen.
Not open1y-for the last two
campaigns have taught them
that in Duluth their open sup
port was a hoodoo-but indi-
rectly and secretly. The
Mitchell men were short of
campaign funds and for the
first time since the writer has
been in Duluth the opposition
had money to thoroughly work
the entire city. Their ammu-
milton, however, was not linn
tied to corporation cash. The
108 saloonkeepers who each
subscribed $25 and upwards to
the Truelsen campaign fund,
in additions continued with
equal liberality from their
stock in trade. And Elder did
his share, too. It was the tap
ping of a keg. said. to have
come from the .oily-tongued
agent of. the gas and water
company, during Saturday
afternoon or Sunday morning,
that saved West Duluth for
Truelsen and Sang. We may
suppose, therefore, that the
compact, alleged by Austin,
between the water company
and the fusion candidate for
mayor, in 50 far as it relates to
the last two elections, has been
fully carried out.
The labor world., 1898-02-05

Populists votes were abso-
lutely indispensable to the cleo
tion Of the gentlemen who won
out on the fusion ticket. The
populists are all self-sacrifcing
fellows and of course their votes
were forthcoming. But when
it came to reciprocating that's
different. Even a gold bug is
to be preferred to a rantancerous
populist. And so1the 1nnocents
played at the game of politics
and burnt their fingers pulling
out chestnuts-for the other
fellows.
The labor world., 1898-02-05

Mayor Truelsen has been tti-
umphantly reelected. The
Labor World accepts the result
in all good faith, but has no
apology to offer for it's course
in the late campaign. Our pos
ition, we know, was right; aetas;
charges based upon evidence
that was indisputable, and we
could not have been true to our
sense of duty had we done less
to bring about a different con
clusion. The people have
chosen to believe the other side
of that controversy and, as we
are quit of orr share of respon-
sibility;; any blame for the con
sequence of Tuesdays work
must fall on their shoulders.
For Mayor Truelsen and the
new council we have no person
al ill-will. If they do their duty
by the people the Labor World
will give them their merited
praise; if they betray their
trust, we shall not spare them
in the future as those whom
we believed were determined
upon il1-advised measures or
were actuated by improp-
er motives, have not been
spared in the past. But even
while insisting that our oppos-
ition was based upon evidence
that we could not possibly
doubt, we are free to express
the hope that Mr.. Truelsen and
his advisers will not carry out
the pledges to the enemies of
good government that they are
understood to have given.
Most of the people can be
fooled part of the time, but as
Lincoln said, not all the time.
And we can only hope that
having won his reelection by
such handsome majority Mr..
Truelsen may conclude to
abandon his corporation allies
and proceed, in good faith, to
carry out the promises and
pledges contained in the popu-
list platform upon which he
has been elected.
The labor world., 1898-02-05

Mr.. True1sen owed his for
mer election to the people,
How he betrayed them every
well-informed citizen of Du-
luth, whether he admits it or
not. knows only too well.
This last election he owes to
the franchise ring. If he will
only carry out his pledges to
corporations with the same de-
gree of faithfulness he has
heretofore exercised towards
the people, Duluth can afford
to forgive him most of his past
shortcomings and when his
second term expires, favorably
consider him for a third.

superintendency OF the water

the outlines of Mr.. Austin s

The two candidates for
judges on the republican ticket
received a trifle over one
thousand majority. The fusion
candidate for mayor was
elected by a slightly larger
majority. Several hundred
populists voted for Mitchell
that stayed by the remainder
of the fusion ticket. The re-
turns, therefore, show conclu-
sively that from 1,20O to 1,50C
republicans voted for Mr.. Tru-
elsen. A slight allowance
must be made for the few busi-
ness men who were deceived
by Mr.. Truelsen's assumption
of credit mainly due to the
city council and his predeces-
sors. The remainder repre-
sents pretty accurately the cor
poration and saloon controlled
elements heretofore training
with the republican party.
This is always an independent
vote and, if it suited it's inter
ests could be cast for the
devil. Only when good citizens
are equally independent can
it be counteracted and kept
from debating in it's own dis
interests the man.

the most part, too, it is an in
telligent vote. 1t catches on
with a tenth of the facility of

while the latter, because of ig-
or indifference, half
the time vote against their
own personal welfare, the for

The Labor World makes no
claim to be a populist organ. It
has never expressed any opin-

People laughed at the man who
said that the fish he had hooked
kicked up such q dust in the wa
ter, Perhaps they will laugh at
the heading Of this article, but there
will be sea dust nevertheless. i
We have heard of waterspouts, of
showers Of fish, of salt rain and
many other curiosities which pre-
sent themselves in the atmosphere.
but to assert that there is such a
thing as sea dust is to transcend all
reasonable bounds. The evidence,
however, in favor of its existence is
exceedingly powerful - indisputa-
ble, il fact and this is the story
told by eyewitnesses. ).
They say that in certain parts of
the world, notably about the Cape
de Verde islands, there are constant
" met at sea, several hundreds of
miles away from land, thick, yel-
loWish red fogs, not unlike London
fogs in November. These fogs OBJ
acure the atmosphere and are very
injurious to navigation, but they
have not the baleful odor of their
London prototypes, nor do they af-
feet the breathing in the same way.
While sailing through them it is
found that the ship, sails and rig
ging are covered with a fine, inn
palpable powder, which falls as dry
rain and covers the surface on which
it falls sometimes to the depth of two
inches. In color it is Of a bright,
brick dust hue, sometimes of a light
yellow, and it feels between the
teeth like fine grit, such as might
be blown into the mouth on a windy
Jay in March. :.
No place is free from it's presence,
its tineness giving it power to pene-
trate everywhere. The sea while
the dust is falling looks as though
it had been peppered and is discolor-
ed for some distance down. Some
times the dust comes in shower
and passes off again. The fogs are
nothing but vast quantities of the
dust suspended in the air.
It is not only in the vicinity of
Cape de Verde that this wonderful
dust is seen. In the Mediterranean,
in the northern parts of Africa and
in the middle of the Atlantic it has
been reported. It is invariably the
same in kind and appearance, and
examination under microscopes has
proved the identity of. say, Cape de
Verde sea dust with Mediterranean
sea dust. All this is very remarka-
ble-dust falling in clouds, no land
within some hundreds of miles,
nothing visible which could possibly
account for the curious phenome-
non.
Sand spouts there are in sandy
deserts and showers of sand taken
originally from spots whereon the
carrier wind has left its mark, but
here there is no desert from which
the sand can be drawn, and the
wind, so far from being boisterous
or disposed to play whirlwind
pranks, is light and steady, blowing
ships along at calm five knots an
hour.
I: It is believed by scientific men
that tie dust clouds of Central
America are, in all probability,
closely connected with the phenom-
enon of sea dust. Los Angeles
