Labor Day IS not closely observed
in country towns where small enter
prises make the majority OF laborers
| their own boss. But in the ccnters Of
industries and big pay rolls, Labor
Day promises to be one OF the most
beloved Of all holidays. In this eco
nomic age, one day q year should be
dedicated at the shrine OF labor, The
god OF toll is often hard taskmaster,
but kind father always. And the
sons OF Toll should do him homage on
theholiday hehas grated them. Labor
witaout capital is q giant in distress;
capital without labor is fruitless.
AS figs cannot grow on thistles, labor
and capital are barren, unless united.
To produce the best industrial results
efficient labor must cooperate with in
telligent capital. The two factors
should labor hand-in-hand and to
each be given 9 just share of the pro-
fits. The state legislature in setting
aside the first Monday in September
as q legal holiday had, we believe,
two objects. They sought TO give the
followers OF industrial labor q respite
from work in this most pleasant time
OF the year; also to furnish time, q
kid OF anniversary honeymoon be-
tween the laborers and the capitalists
- - ~f ~ :.
On this day the employee and employer
should meet and ming le on the mutual
grounds Of appreciation, and to dis
scuss their relations for the good Of
society. "a, ss,.,

WHAT OUTSIDERS SAY.

The Republican nominee for Judge
in the 10th District, w. S. McClena-
han, is putting up a brilliant and tell
I ing fight against Judge Holland and
from q distance it looks as though
Holland will at last get the small end
OF the vote. Holland's unfitness for
the high position was the direct cause
OF Wadena county getting out of the
18th District and into the camp where
presides such men as Searle and Bax-
ter. Verndale Sun.
There is lively campaign on up in
the 18th judicial district. Judge Hol-
land who has occupied the bench since
the formation OF the district is cam
didate for reelection and w. S. Nc
Clenahan has been nominated by the
republicans as a candidate for the
place. For a number of years there
has been considerable dissatisfaction
expressed with Judge Hollands work
as Judge, but six years ago he was
elected over p. v. Coppernoll after a
warm campaign, though it is claimed
this was accomplished by manipula-
ton OF the returns in remote precincts.
1t is stated as fact if we remember
correctly that more than half the de-
Icisions OF Holland that have been car
|ried up have been reversed by the
higher court. McClenahan was for
merly the law partner Of Judge Hol-I
land and Is one Of the able lawyers Of
the district. Over here in this, the It'll
district, we do not know what it is to
have 9 poor judge as the cases where
the higher court has not sustained
their decisions are very rare. Todd.

ate paramount issues.

u 44
In 1896 the country was in a terrible
condition, hard times everywhere,
business failures right and left, idle
men in front of US, idle factories be-
hind US. It was then that people did
the hardest thinking Of their lives.
The democrats declared that free
silver alone would save us; the repub-
licans assured us that confidence,
born of tariff wise leaders and gold
standard would bring back prosper
ity. A people, driven desperate BY
want, eagerly listened to all parties
which offered a speedy relief. They
listened to the argument on both
sides, heard all the testimony, and
then went thoughtfully into the jury
room the polls and cast their ballot
for Mckinley, the advance agent Of
prosperity.
The issue is the same today. When
the republicans claimed the power to
open the mills, restore good times and
generate prosperity, were they lying
or were they not9 Has prosperity

President Kruger In Paris.

Paris, Nov. 25-Paris, while giving full
vent to her pent up feelings of sympathy
with and admiration for the Beers in its
reception to Mr.. Kruger Saturday, com
ported herself with wisdom and prudence.
While a few isolated instances of anti
British vociferations were noticed only
once throughout the day was there any
semblance of an organized demonstration
against England to mar the reception.
But especially reassuring was the char
acter of the reception, and it was with
feelings of relief that the authorities went
to bed after the gloomy forebodings in
spired by the unfortunate incidents which
had marked previous welcomes given to
Mr.. Kruger en- route to the French capital.
1t is true that NJ. lie Pine, Paris project
of police, displayed his iron hand in a
way that rendered even partial success of
any discordant outbreak impossible, yet it
is but fair to emphasize the fact that no
disposition was ever evinced to create trou-
BILE. The only difficulty experienced was
in keeping the throngs from sweeping over
the line of the route in their eagerness
to secure a glimpse of Dom Paul. The
most troublesome task was met with at
the outside in front of the dillon, when
Mr.. Kruger's landau, drawn by four white
horses decked with roses of the Boer colors,
and driven by coachman wearing a sim
liar favor in his buttonhole, started.
Despite the double line of police and
municipal guards, aided by mounted repub-
lican guards, the crowd, which was massed
at the approaches to the station, numbering
thousands, swept over the Gordon, and in
the twinkling of an eye 2O00 police and
guards were mingled in inextricable confu
sion among the multitudes. M. Meline,
who was preceding Mr. Kruger in a car
riage, however, took in the situation at
glance and shouted to Mr.. KTuger's
coachman to break into a gallop, and es-
corted by the mounted guards and a swarm
of police on bicycles he dashed ahead into
the boulevard, where a hedge OF municipal
guards kept the crowd in bounds. A
squadron of horse guards with trumpeteers
and drums then assumed the honors.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 25.-The Official
Messenger says that in consequence Of tn.
termination of military operations in the
province OF Pe-chi Ii orders have been issued
to begin returning the Russian troops to
the Kwan-tung and Amur territories. The
paper adds that it is hoped the detachments
for the European Russia will all return
during the first half of 1901. 1t is further
asserted that the condition of Manchuria
necessitates the retention there for the win
ter of three brigades of Siberian rifles, in
addition to the usual forces, guarding the
railroad.

TRAGEDY in Oregon.

Portland, Ore, Nov. ga special
from Jacksonville, Ore. says: G. w.
Traynor last night shot and killed j.
Hardenbrook and then killed himself.
Hardenbrook was engaged to be mar
ried to Miss Sarah L. Beeson, sister
of Mrs. Traynor, but Traynor objected
to the match, and it is said had threat
ened Hardenbrook's life. Last night
about II o'clock Miss Beeson, Harden
brook and Mrs. Traynor were sitting
around the fire when Traynor walked
out on the porch and few moments
later a bullet came crashing through
the window. 1t struck Hardenbrook
in the head and he died in an hour.
Traynor was found shortly afterward
near the house with two bullet holes
in his head.
