ton came to ar end. The session was in
the history of the association, in that the
attendance was unusually large and the
interest manifested of the most encour-
aging type. The occasion of the tenth
anniversary of the Standard. and the
festivities connected Herewith. being
made a part of the associations meeting,
had much to do with making the event a
great success. 1t brought the editors

That the annual meeting just brought
to a close will prove of great benefit to
the craft nno be doubted. The work
OF the association was well performed
and the exercises were interesting from
start to finish, thanks to the energy and
ability OF the retiring president, Mr.. w.
w. Walsworth and his able and untiring
coadJutOr. secretary McMurray The
election of the latter to the presidency
for the ensuing term meets the enthusi-
astic approval of every wspap man
in the state. AS secretary of the ~associa-
ton for a number of years, Mr.. MuMur-
ray has been active and Jealous in build

welfare of it's members. He has earned
every honor that is within the power of
the association to bestow, and he win
make a presiding officer who will rank
second to none in the faithful and able
management of the duties Of that posi-

in the newly elected secretary, Mr.. Aitkin

acquainted with that talented young
newspaper man.
The association begins another year of
its history well equipped for future work.

Public sentiment in Helena is strong
against the efforts of the city adminiStra-
ton to repudiate debts of that municipal
ity, ON the grounds that the limit OF in
d%ebtedness had been reached when they
were incurred. The honor of the capital
city is at stake, and it is to be regrttted
that some of it's officiary seem bent on the
destruction of it's good name at home and
abroad. The best way for the good peo-
pie of that enterprising city to maintain
the reputation acquired in more prosper
GUS days is to turn down the gang and
put better men on guard.

SUBJUCATION OF AFRICA.

IT the strained relations between Great
war in which the ava tribes of South
Africa join, it is not unlikely that the be-
ginning Of the ~subjugation of the dark
continent may be undertaken. That Afri-
can tribes have escaped the fate of the
American indian in the inward march of
modern civilization is due more to the
unpropitious character of the climate
than to any other cause. The wealth
embosomed in the interior of that great
country is beyond the computation of
man. and the cupidity Of the present day
would find constant expression therein
did not climatic agencies so largely inter-
fere.
But then maintenance of the ground al
ready acquired by the whites in South
Africa may compel a war of subjugation
fa~r-reaching in it's character and scope.
Were the savage tribes of the interior to
align themselves under the leadership of
some competent Matabele warrior, as the
Indian tribes of the upper Mississippi
valley once attempted to unite under
Tecumseh, the most extraordinary con-
Hict of modern times would AXE place.
A contest. between civilization and say
agery would be inaugurated with the
final result that the great powers of Eu-
rope would divide up Africa and institute

That Africa a much longer remain

The progressive tendency of the white
race which swept the red Indian off he

way of progress in new lands has always

is builded upon the ashes of the red man.

At the expiration of the holiday season
1t is anticipated that there will be a
healthy revival of interest and activity in
labor circles IN st. Paul. Nearly all the
trades unions are on q good basis fnan-
cially and numerically. The year 1899 has
witnessed a large increase in membership,
particularly among the carpenters, paint
ers and iron holders Several of the
unions have made satisfactory arrange
ments with the bosses for an increase Of
wage schedule in the spring. The molders
have already received it and the leather
workers on horse goods, at the shops Of
Konantz Bros, will receive a 10 per cent
increase beginning Jan. l, 1900. 1t was
understood that this advance was not to
take place until spring, but the firm
named saw fit to anticipate this by few
months voluntarily.
There is apparently the best of frater-
nal feeling pervading the members of all
the St. Paul unions and a hearty en-
Geavor to cooperate with each other for
the good of all. Quite number of the
unions have recently employed business
agents on salary for the purpose Of
watching the interests of workmen on
various jobs In the city. This movement
had been attended with good results
There will be four union meetings tonight

Philadelphia Telegraph.
Not long ago Capt. Andrew Dunlap
now commanding the hospital ship Sol
ace, endeavored to conduct his naval
housekeeping to suit himself, and for q
while succeeded so well that any house
keeper might have told him that such a
state of affairs was too good tc last.
The captain was stationed on the re-
ceiVing ship at the Washington yard
and, IS is usual with such a command,
had his family with him Also he had. as
the naval regulations provide, a man as
a cook. What that cook did not know
about cooking would have filled a large
library.
Mrs. Dunlap was in despair and the
captain was lining as frequently as pos
sible at his Tub Cookery was a tabooed
subject in the Dunlap family.
Such was the state of affairs when one
DAY one of the enlisted men-he may be
called Brown-went to the captain, said
he understood the captain was having
trouble about his cook, and announced
that he, Brown, mad a wife that was a
fire cook. Wouldn't the captain like to
have her?
Emphatically the captain said he would
But then he hesitated. He was certain
that to have woman cook aboard ship
was a most unusual proceeding But
weeks of bad dinners at home, and coffee
in the morning rot calculated to make a
person start the day happily, made him
reckless. He told Brown to bring his
wife, and straightway Mary was Installed
in the galley.
What Brown had said about her was
true. She cooked as one to the stove
born. and the Dunlap family ate once
more together in good nature toward all
mankind.
