KIDD Is NOW FREE.
Great Triumph for Organi ed
Labor.

Thomas l. Kidd, George Zent-
ner and Michael Troiber, ac-
cused of conspiring to injure
the business of the Paine Lum-
ber company of Oshkosh, were
acquitted in municipal court,
The jury was out about an hour.
The trial lasted two weeks
and was closely watched
throughout this. country and
Canada by union labor men
and manufacturers. The case
followed the woodworkers'
strike Of last summer, a strike
lasting thirteen weeks and in
volving 1900 men. Mr.. Kidd,
as secretary of the Interna-
tional Woodworkers' Union, was
prominent in directing the
strike, while Zentner was cap
tain Of the pickets and Troiber
was a picket: The case Of the
defendants rested largely upon
the Legality or illegality of the
practice of picketing, which the
state maintained amounted to
conspiracy, but which the de-
fense contended was in itself
innocent and lawful. The re-
sponsibility of the labor organ

which resulted fatally, uas also
debated. The importance Of
the case was not underrated, it
being contended that convic-
ton meant the end of strikes
and the impairment of the eff
fectiveness of labor organiza-.
tions. B.
So Wisconsin stands in the
vanguard Of states on honest.

does. Possibly a jury and a
prejudiced judge may be found
in other parts Of the state who
would decide against labor in.

LIND'S ELECTION.

LIND'S ELECTION: ~
For over forty years the re-
publican party has held unin-
.terrupted in this state the Office
of governor, and with few ex-
ceptions all the other state Of
fees have been presided over
by men of the same political
complexion. During this time
the state has grown from a
sparsely settled wilderness to
one Of the most fertile and pros
porous states in the union. By
the aid Of the patronage and the
strong machine incident to so
long a possession Of the offices,
a anomination by the republicans
was considered equivalent to
an election. For that reason the
election Of John Lind on Tues
day will prove a great surprise,
not only to the repu 5icans but
to Lind himself. Nevertheless,
it is a result very much to be
desired, as it undoubtedly
means general house-clean-
.ing,if Mr.. Lind does his duty
by the people whom he is
chosen to represent. The pris-
oas, insane asylums, reform
schools and institutions for the
blind, deaf and dumb, are all
presided over by men who. have
held these positions for from
fifteen to twenty-five years.
Every few years complaints of
nismanagement and cruelty
come from behind these walls,
and after a mock investigation
a whitewash has been given
the accused and everything
moves along in the same old
way. With complete cleaning
out of these institutions the old
ring will be broken up and it
all has tendency to purify.
There is no doubt but irregu-
larities exist in every depart
ment of the state, made possible
by close corporation, Certain
cliques in both parties have
conspired to continue them
selves or their friends in power
and these high offices have
been passed along in certain
families for nearly half a gen
Grafton, and the result is they
nave fattened at the expense OF
the state. - *'..-- -.-
The newly elected governor
is a gentleman who has always
been with the people. Once
republican congressman, he
parted company with his party
when it advocatedfpolicies that
were not in harmony with his
views, and took up the cause of
the people. Tuesday he re-
ceived his reward by being
elected governor of the great
state of Minnesota and over
coming a majority of nearly
$4,000. The people have spoken;
now let Mr.. Lind do his duty.

the ORIGIN OF CRIME
Bankers tho Victims of a
Vicious System Of Money
Loaning.
1t is a Mystery that Bank Off.
cials Should Submit to Such
4 Rufnous System.

Our readers should under
stand that articles we write on
the banking question are not
designed to reflect personally
upon bankers. Our relations
and our acquaintance with the
managers of our present banks
are nothing but pleasant. We
are simply discussing the sys-
tenn. ID
We regret that our bankers
are the victims Of a.vicious sys-
TEN of money loaning which
involves them, from time to
time, in no end OF trouble and
scandal. .ss. s
q bank may be..4,ver 50 hon
estly conducted, when through
the mismanagem ement Of a neigh
boring bank a run may be
started on this highly equitable
sound bank, which may result
in breaking it. The. sub sequent
edings may develop the
fact that the banker received
deposits after he was insolvent,
in the confident belief that the
excitement and run would sub
side and the bank come out all
right. The run did not cease,
however, and the bank failing
to get outside e hep had to go
under. Then it's that many
depositors are meerfccile i II less, prose
cutting attorneyssand juries are
relentless. The result is that
men, perfectly honest in their
intention, who happen to be the
custodians of other peoples
money, are railroaded through
to the penitentiary while their
regulations and that Of their
families are forever injured.
tits a mystery to us that our
bank officials should su bmit to
this ruinous banking system
themselves. They can never
know what minute a run on
their institution may be started
and their bank wrecked.
It makes no difference how
great the capital Of a bank may
be. The Maverick National
Bank of Boston a few years
since went to the wall having
an advertised capita of $7O,0OO,- 5.
600. Thus national banks,
which are private institutions
run for private profit, with all
kinds of supposed capital, each
up in the millions, have gone
down in the past few years and
their managers are now in the
various state prisons Of the
country. Z
This destruction is the result
of money loaning system
whereby the banker gives no
security and is thereby a con
stant object Of suspicion that
his bank may fail.
We wonder that bankers as
a class do not rise up and de-
rnand that their banks shall
pass under the control Of the
government. Then each official
shall give bond as does the
town collector and the county
treasurer. We are surprised
that bankers should not them
selves insist upon the bank be-
ing perfectly sound, so solid
that never whisper could be
made as to their stability:
What a great benefaction this
would be to bankers to know
that their position would be
ever permanent; to feel assured
that no one could ever assail
their name, and know that a
financial crash carrying loss
and sorrow to thousands OF
houses could never come

BICYCLES NOT BAGGAGE.
SO Decides an English Court and Railways
Can Collect.

A test case of great importance to Eng
lish bicyclists which. curiously enough
was the first of It's kind submitted for de-
cison, was decided at London recently.
The question was whether or not bicycle
was personal baggage and whether OF
not. accordingly. the railways We're re-
0uired by act of Parliament TO carry II
without extra charge. the passenger being
by law entitled to a certain weight OF per
sonaI baggage free. The plaintin sought
to recover the sum charged by the com
pany for the transportation of a bicycle
which II declared was extra baggage;
The counsel for the plaintiff contended
that the wheel was clearly personal. as II
was something which the traveller carried
for his own personal convenience and use.
There was no distinction. II was argued
between n bicycle and gun case case
of fishing tackle. artists easel or {,
pair of roller skates. The, railway COM
pany argued that II bicycle was not an
article which a person ordinarily took
about with him. If bicycle were TO be
regarded as personal baggage, II was
urged, then boat forty feet long would
have to be so regarded and carried free
The court held that bicycle was not per

BIG FIRE IN NEW YORK,
Upper Stories of Sky scrapers Burns-Lo..
Over q NIL ION DnlIara.


New York, Dec 4.-Fire that broke
out tonight in Rogers, Peet & Co.
retail clothing store, occupying n Ave
story building at the southwest corner
OF warren street and Broadway, utterly
ruined that building and its contents
IN n short time. Then the flames at
lacked the sky-scraper building of the
Home Life Insurance Company, ad-
joining to the SOUTH and gutted the up
per ten stories, the firemen seemingly
utterly helpless against the flames so
Iar from the ground. Next the upper
hoor of the Postal Telegraph Com
panys building at Murray street and
broadway, one of the handsomest in
tne city, burst into flames and at mid
night was still burning iiercely. There
mas been no loss of life so far rs
known.
The estimate OF the losses by Chief
Bonner, after midnight, was million
dollars. with n probability of a still
further loss should the fire continue To
make anything like rapid progress Al
that hour, however, he believed that
he had the fire under control within
reasonable limits.
at = O'Clock, however, it was still
burning tiercely in front, and although
not observable by the thousands of
spectators, was burning still more
fiercely and extending lower down in
the rear.
AT 2:3O Fire Chief Bonner went home
saying that the fire would burn itself
out in short time, and that it could
not spread and was practically out.
