Eugene v. pebs, Lecture.

On Sunday afternoon next, june 70, Mr..
Eugene V. Debs will deliver a lecture
at the Grand opera house. AS Mr.. Debs
has been well received In all other places
where he has appeared, it is expected
that the people of St Paul. especially the
members of organized labor and their
families, will give him an appreciative re-
ception.
When Debs was In the East last fall
he was invited to lecture before the
students of Harvard university, and he
went fully into the subject of the great
problem of the relations of labor and
capital For two hours and thirty min
utes they listened and applauded, greet
ing the strong points with ringing cheers.
Miss Longfellow the poets daughter,
was in the audience. The audience was
largely composed of men of great wealth,
but they received the utterances of Ia
boris champion precisely as a mass meet
ing of workingmen might have done.
During his stay In Boston Mr.. DebS
spoke in historic Faneuil hall. where for
generations the great topics Of the times
have been handled by the orators Of Bos-
| ton, and where Wendell Phillips SO often
hurled his eloquent wrath against Afrt-
| can slavery. Faneuil hall has time
| honored custom of allowing no seats.
| The audience, as well as the speaker,
stands OF course this permits the larg
est possible attendance. At Mr.. Debs'
October speech there the "Old Cradle of
Liberty" was literally packed to the side
walk.
The Boston dailies made detailed and il
Illustrated reports declaring that for two
hours the great audience scarcely moved.
Prof Frank Parsons presided and John
| Clark Ridpath, the historian, was among
the distinguished men present. AS the
orator finished his address Ridpath grasp
ed his hand and warmly declared that 1t
was the greatest speech of the kind he
had ever heard. This was by no means
the first appearance, of Mr.. Debs in Bos-
ton. Many times the citizens of 1.-THE
Hub" have heard the great labor leader
and she never fails to fill. her largest au-
ditoriums when he is announced to speak.
1t would be a. mistake to suppose that
only the colleges and the labor unions are
deeply interested in Mr.. Debs economic
discussions No class of people are more
keenly awake to the fact. that his subject
is the question of the hour than the bust
ness and professional people Literary
clubs are also interested. When he visit
ed New York city in March he spoke be-
fore the Nineteenth Century club, found
ed by the millionaire Cortland Palmer,
and the richest club of it's kind in Amer
lea. The club holds It's sessions at Del
montco's, and we may be sure that in
the midst of all the luxuries gold could
command Mr.. Debs drew some word pic
lures that must have stood out for such
a setting like living fame. But he never
uselessly offends, and we may be equally
sure that he touched the vulnerable spot

some Of his associates making still bet
ter progress than himself, that his am
billions grow, he is impelled, exactly as
his employer is under similar conditions,
to take greater risks, and the labor or
ganizers find more ready listeners and
willing followers. We venture the asser-
ton that no strike of any magnitude has
taken place within the past two years
wherein the strikers have not been
prompted by confidence in their employ
ers prosperity and ability to make con-
cessions rather than by their own ne
cessities. And the number of strikes has
been comparatively SMALL not so much
because of the fear of idleness on the
part of the workmen born of their try
ing experiences in recent years as be-
cause they have found their situation
steadily improving, or have been able
to improve it without resort to the ex-
IRENE hazard. Wages have been advanc-
ing continuously in nearly all lines of
industry. Where demands for increase
have not been anticipated in the volun-
tary advances made by employers, the
latter have been as a rule found able
and willing to meet the reasonable de-
mands of their men with concessions"

Chairman Caldwell retires from his po-

A spirited contest is on to place a man
favorable to the Vanderbilt interests in

put General Passenger Agent Buchanan,
of the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Val

of the Union Pacific, into the chair. The
former is a Vanderbilt line, and by the
selection of either man, harmony will be
certain In the association. Mr.. Buchan-
nan was rendered the position at the time
Chairman Caldwell was selected, but
declined. The attitude of the Northwest

You Are Not Keeping Straight

Men and birds have much to do to keep
straight. So have most things that are
alive enough to have a nervous system
more than they are aware of. No other
act of a human being is OF more impor
tance, yet few people realize how 1t is
done. In man, for instance, hundred
nerves and muscles are at work all
through the waking hours, giving warn
3 ing or receiving orders that the body,
with its many joints and natural insta-
bility, shall preserve its equilibrium, shall
3 not stagger or double up in hopeless
heap. These nerves and muscles are a
highly organized signal service. the chief
offices of which are In the semi-circular
canals buried In the stony homework
that protects the inner ear. Were 1t not
for these canals a human being would
find 1t difficult, often impossible. to main
tain proper balance either while walk
ing or standing still. He would founder
about as though he had vertigo or loco
motor ataXia. In these diseases the
canals are badly out of killer.
The semi-circular canals are human
