Blanoo an Amoosin' Cuss.

From the Detroit Journal.
II would be a misfortune IL Blanco
should be killed. He is the most and
only amusing Spanish figure in the war.
Without his cheerful proclamations ana
reports the war would resolve itself into
a funereal and uncanny ceremonial. Blan-
co puts life into the duller days ana
stunts the sunshine of a CHEEKY nature
into the darker aspects of the strife.
without Blanco the American soldiers
would have no ration of blithesome hu-
NOR: the American people would have no
exhibition OF superlative nerve to break
in upon the monotony. Let everybody else
perish. but save Blanco. He's an amoos-
in cuss and we want him.

Fighting Grit.

From the New York Journal.
If there is any one thing that this war
has proved up to the handle II is that our
navy is clear fighting grit all the way
through. Never once has IL failed under
any test. Not an officer or a man has
finched from any danger, but many have
wept because others were sent to face
death without them. Dewey daring inc

The BiTlow Papers.


1.-THE Biglow Papers, deserve to
be considered, says j. S. Tunison in
The Atlantic. They were not exotic.
They grew right out of the soil up
on which the struggle eliminated
that had absorbed the activities of
the whole English speaking race.
They are as real to one member of
that race as to another. Just for the
reason that in the midst Of civil
conflict with its factional and dis
persive tendencies the highest flights
of poesy were impossible, the poet
was artistically right in turning
back to the ways and language of
common life. He has given the pas
sion as we'll as the humor of his
time. He enables his readers to live
over again period which, when it
can be seen in it's entirety, without
the distractions that were merely
incidental to it, will etand out as
the characteristic part of the nine
teenth century, embodying in it's re-
suits all those individual and nation
al aspirations which were hardly
more than words when the century
began. Whoever returns to the
study of that period will find the
details wherever he may, but he
can always ,vitalize them with the
breath of Lowell's poem.

of the building, to the right, is
a square enclosure in which
will be located machinery ex-
! hibit. Here the woodworkers
will operate a lathe and the
printers will exhibit several
thousand dollars worth of
printing machinery. Every
printery in the city will be rep
resented; Christie & Collier
will also have a fine exhibit of
lithography, and it is expected
that a daily paper will be
printed during the continuance
of the exhibition. The electri-
cal operators will have charge
of the motor operating all the
machinery IN the hall, and in
addition will furnish brilliant
electrical display. The laun-
dry workers will also be in evil
dence with some special feat
ures of their craft.
The exhibits by business
houses so far are not numer-
Gus, but there will be some of
unusual interest. Among these
may be named the Imperial
Mill, NJ. S. Burrows and Cutler
& Gilbert.
The cooks and walters will
give practical demonstration
Of how to cater to the wants of

part of the room the barten-
ders will do their share at
putting said inside man in
good humor. Temperance
people, however, are assured
that nothing stronger will be
dispensed than ice cream and
soft drinks.

the scene of two popular enter

An Old Fashioned Remedy For Badness.
An old time but good remedy to
prevent the hair from falling out is
a wash made by sleeping three large
onions in quart of rum, or until
the strength is drawn from the veg
etable, and applying it to the scalp
every second day. The odor of the
onion soon passes off, but if found
disagreeble, ten drops of lavender
oil and ten grains of ambergris will
overcome the scent. 49, Woman's

The bazaar committee has
been busy all week getting
Market hall in readiness for the
industrial exhibition. The
space at the disposal of the ex.
hibitors has been partiti oned
off and while the bazaar will
not be opened until Mon day,
some of the machinery and
devices are already in place
The committee is disappointed
in notbeing able to arrange for
a visit from President Comp
ers, but the other attractions
are such that public interest is
bound to be kept at a high
pitch throughout the week.
About all of the space has
been taken, though there is
possibly room for a few more.
Beginning at the front of the
building on the east side. the
first booth will be occupied by
an exhibit by the butchers
union. Carcasses of various
kinds, cured meats, hams, etc.,
will be on display.
The second and third booths
will be operated by the cigar
makers union. In one will be
a union cigar factory, with men
working just as in any of the
first-class shops in the city; the
other will be a retail depart
ment i'm which there will be on.

made in Duluth.
The fourth booth has been
taken. by the bakers and the

taste characteristic to the max
ers of dainty eatables.
No. 8 has been taken by the
Listman Milling company; No.
6 by the brewery workers;.7 by
the shoemakers and 8 by the
broom-makers. In No. 9 the
coopers will show the processes
by which a barrel is put to-
gether. In 10 and II. the
steamfitters and boilermakers
will, by working in conjunction
show their respective arts, the
latter putting together boiler
and the former making the
connections to pipes and radia-
tors.
In No. IL the tailors will ex-
hibit a model Workshop. 13 is

And in No. II the stage en-
ploys will give an exhibit of
how they handle stage scenery
and, perhaps, will entertain the
visitors with a "big show" on a
modest scale.
In No. II the painters will
have display of artistic signs,
oil paintings, fancy papering,
etc., and the St. Germain Glass
company will occupy a part of
their booth with an exhibit of
painters and glaciers wares.

MURDERED MARTYRS
A Glowing Tribute to the Mar
tyred Apostles Of
Labor.
Written by Eugene v. Debs
for tho New
Time,

The century now closing is
luminous with great achieve
ments. In every department
of human endeavor marvellous
progress has been made. By
the magic of the machine
which sprang from the inven-
tive genius of man, wealth has
been created in fabulous
abundance. But alas, this
wealth, instead of blessing the
race, has been the means OF
enslaving it. The few have
come in possession of all, and
the many have been reduced
to the extremity of living by
permission. A few have had
the courage to protest. To
silence these 50 that the dead
level of slavery could be main
tanned has been the demand
and command of capital-blown
power. Press and pulpit re-
sponded with alacrity. All the
forces of society were directed
against these pioneers of in
dustrial liberty, these brave
defenders of oppressed human
ity-and against them the
crime of the century has been
committed. I.
Albert r. Parsons, August
Spies, George Engel, Adolph
Fischer. Louis Lingg, Samuel
Fielden, Michael Schwab and
Oscar Neebe paid the cruel
penalty in prison cell and on
the gallows.
They were the first martyrs in
the cause of industrial free
dom, and one of the supreme
duties of our civilization, if in
deed we may boast of having
been redeemed from savagery,
is to rescue their names from
ca1umny and do justice to their
memory.
The crime with which these
men we're charged was never
proven against them. The
trial which resulted in their
conviction was not only a dis
grace to all judicial proceed
ings, but a foul, black, indeli-
BILE and darnning stigma upon
the nation.
It was a trial organized and
conducted to convict-a con-
spiracy to murder innocent
men, and hence had not one
redeeming feature.
It was plot, satanic in all
it's conception, to wreck ven
geance upon defenselesss men,
who, not being found guilty of
the crime charged in the in
dictment, were found guilty of
exercising the inalienable right
of free speech in the interest
of the toiling and groaning
masses, and thus they became
the first martyrs to a cause
which, fertilized by their blood,
has grown in strength and
sweep and influence from the
day they yielded up their lives
and liberty in it's defense.
AS the years 60 by and the
history of that Infamous trial
is read and considered by men
of thought and who are capa-
BILE Of wrenching themselves
from the grasp of prejudice
and giving reason its rightfu1
supremacy, the stronger the
conviction becomes that the
present generation of working
men should erect an enduring
memorial to the men who had
the courage to denounce and
oppose wage-slavery and seek
for methods of emancipation.
The vision of the judicially
murdered men was prescient.
They saw the dark and hideous

snauOW OF coming events
They spoke words of warning
not too soon, not too emphatic
not too trumpet-toned-fo
even III 1886, when the Hay
market meetings were held
the capitalistic grasp was upor
the throats of workingmen anc
it's fetters upon their limbs.
There was even then idle
ness, poverty, squalor, the
rafting of skeleton bones, the
sunken eye, the palor, the 1iv-
ing death of famine, the crush.
ing and the grinding of the re-
lentless wills of the plutocracy,
which more rapidly than the
wills of the gods grind their
victims to dust.
The men who went to their
death upon verdict of a jury,
1 have said, were judicially
murdered only because
the jury was packed for the
express purpose of finding
them guilty, not only because
the crime for which they suf-
fered was never proven against
them, not only because the
judge before whom they were
arraigned was unjust and
blood-thirsty, but because they
had, in the exercise of free
speech, declared that men who
subjected their fe1lowmen to
conditions often worse than
death weresunfit to live. In all
lands and in al ages where the
victims of injustice have
bowed their Dodies to the earth,
bearing grievous burdens laid
upon them by cruel task-mas-
ters, and have lifted their eyes
starword in the hope of finding
some orb whose light inspired
hope, ten million times the
anathema has been uttered
andaw1ll be uttered until a day
shall !. dawn upon the world
when the emancipation of those
who toll is achieved by the
brave, self-sacrificing few who,
like the Chicago martyrs, have
the courage of crusaders and
the spirit of iconoclasts and
dare champion the cause of
oppressed and demand in the
name of an avenging God and
of an outraged Humanity that
infernalism shall be elinin-
ated from our civilization. And
as the struggle for justice pro-
ceeds and the battle fields are
covered with the slain, as
mother earth drinks their
blood, the stones are given
tongues with which to de-
nounce mans inhumanity to
man AYE, to women and chill
dren, whose meanings from
hovel and sweat-shop, garret
and cellar, arraign our civiliza-
ton, our religion and our ju-
diciary-whose wailings and
lamentations, hushing to
silence every sound the Gre
ator designed to make the
world a paradise Of harmonies,
transform it into un inferno
where the demons of greed
plot and scheme to consign
their victims to lower depths
of degradation and despair.
The men who were judicially
murdered in Chicago in 1887
in the name of the great state
of Illinois, were the avant
couriers of a better day. They
were called anarchists, but on
their trial it was not proven
that they had committed any
crime or violated any law.
They had protested against
unjust laws and their brutal
administration. They stood
between oppressor and op-
pressed and they dared, in a
free (?) country, to exercise the
divine right of free speech, and
the records of their trial, as if
