ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS!
Demand for Men Greatly Ex-
ceeds the Supply.
Wages Good.

minneapolis Times, Independent Demo.
crat oct. II, 1881
1.-THE labor market in this
center is ALWAYS sensitive in
dicator Of the general condition of
northwestern business. Local
employment agencies report that
the demand for laboring men is
greatly in excess of the supply.
One agent told the Times Satur.
day that he could use 700 men on
a moments notice, guarante eng
them all winter jobs in the woods
with millionaire lumber com.
panies, and advancing their rail.
road fares to destination. The
wages run from $50 to $35 p.r
month, including good board and
lodging at the camps. Woodmen
are especially in demand. But it
is impossible to fill these orders.
The supply of labor seems to b.
pretty well absorbed by the large
amount of railroad work which is
going Oh in the northwest. This
work averages the common labor
ers $1.75 per day, and the com.
panies or employment agencies are
glad to advance the railroad
fare to get men to the work. AL
the agents have orders for men for
railroad work which they
cannot fill, owing to the
scarcity.
"ln short, the conditions have
not be so favorable to the laboring
man for ten years, and seldom have
they ever been BETTER"

A SlZE-UP OF THE SITUA.
TON.

The Staples Tribune, which is a
strong supporter of the Democratic
or fusion candidates, has the fol-
lowing views to express on the
local "combine:"
The action of Joe. Meyer, E. F.
Shaw, G. Vasaly and a few others
who were the whole thing at the
Democratic legislative convention
at Little Falls last Friday, in leav-
ing the Office of senator blank on
their ticket is to be- deplored.
Their scheme in leaving the office
of senator blank is practically
endorsing Buchanan, the defeated
candidate for nomination on the
Republican ticket, for senator.
Buchanan is to run independent,
and he and his followers imagine
that he will pull a large per cent
of the Republican vote, as we'll as
q majority of the Democratic and
Populist. The men who are at
the head Of this scheme are com.
hitting political suicide, and they
will 'certainly lose the respect Of
all the honest voters of both par.
ties. Of course Buckm IN is sore
because he was defeated IN the
Republican convention, but we
had given him credit for more
sense than to make a play of this
kind. Men who will stoop so low
as to be party to such action as
this are not fit to represent the
people and should not be recog.
nized by any party. He will Ger.
talnlyi find out after the votes are
counted that the people haye no
use for man Of his calibre.

power Of Buchanan to trade them
away from their county ticket. It
is becoming 'so evident to Meyers
and Vasaly that Buchanan can
deliver them no Republican votes
that they are beginning to wonder
what they are to get for their
scheming to keep a straight Demo.

Democratic followers to Buchanan

Herald finds it necessary to devote

the Herald is going to insist that
no Republican who ever voted for
Mr.. Buchanan shall now vote for
any Republican nominee. The
Herald is a little too harsh with
its new servants. A voter may
have once favored Mr.. Buchanan
without transferring the control
of his vote to the chairman Of the
Democratic county convention.

The proceedings Of the Demo-
cratic county convention and the
comments Of the Herald show
that it is recognized among Demo.
Gratis that the county ticket of that
party is a goner. There was a
lack of candidates for places on the
Democratic county ticket, and the
only man who was defeated for q
nomination was E. F. Shaw. He
was turned down for county at
torney, but as there was no candi.
date for register Of deeds he was
placed on the ticket for that place.
And the convention program was
arranged for that contingency.
Under the call the register Of deeds
was to be nominated before county
attorney. But.th order Of bust.
ness was changed, placing attorney
before register. Il Shaw made an
effort for attorney, was badly de-
feated, then he was placed on the
ticket for register. But there were
not enough willing martyrs to fill
the ticket, and no one could be
found to 90 against Nichols for
auditor. Considering the proba.
&bility OF the election of the entire
Republican ticket it is not strange
that there were some contests for
places on the Republican ticket.

these conditions would mean to plunge
them at once into barbarism.
And yet this is what Aguinaldo is
fighting for and which may cause a
clash Of arms between him and the
United States forces. If they do come
together, however, the insurgent leader
will quickly learn that the methods of
the United States troops are different
from the Spaniards and may soon find
himself with his arms tied before a
firing squad.
He has established himself in a fine
house at Cavite, where, surrounded by
his officers, he conducts the campaign
against the Spaniards.
He has a modern desk, backed by a
huge bevel-edged mirror, a couple OF
large iron strong boxes for the dicta-
torial treasury, an abundance Of easy
chairs, an old grand piano several feet
taller than the modern make, and a
large hat rack of fanciful design. The
only signs of war are the ends of

~.Fhfse u.s. an old, old controversy re-
specting the apparent size of the noon.
To IN person the moon looks to be
about a foot across. To another it
looks about as big as a cart-wheel,
whife a third party will %rdeclare,. that
really it looks no bigger than silver
dollar. No two see it alike. AS large
as a silver dollar, as large as a dinner
plate, as large as a cart-wheel-these
comparisons are all good. provided it
is stated at what distance from the eye
the several objects! of comparison are
conceived to be. A silver dollar at
a distance of fourteen feet, a dinner
plate at ninety feet, a.cartwheel at 500
feet, the moon at a distance of 240, 900
miles, all subtend an angle of about
half a degree, and have, therefore, the
same apparent size while SO vastly diff
ferent. There is a singular optical IL
fusion in regard to- the, moon,s, appar-
ent size-and also that of the sun
which may be noticed while we are on
this subject-namely, that when rising
the moon always looks. larger than
when it has attained to a considerable
altitude in the heavens. The, expiana-
ton seems to be that when either the
sun Or the moon, is. near the horizon
we can compare it directly With large
objects, such as trees and houses,
which, of course look small in the dis
lance, and the impression of size is
heightened; but when 1t stands in'mid-
heavens there lis no object with which
it may be compared. Actually, the
apparent size of the moon is less when
it is on the horizon than When*it lis
! near the zenith. for when it is in this
latter position our idistance from it is
about 1900. miles-the carth's' semi
