We may shudder at the thought
but must face the fact that a Re
publican hitherto considered strict
ly honest, has confessed that he
was one Of a number of Republi-
cans who had conspired 10 xiii
Senator Goebel. Did he tell the
truth? Would he wilfully weave
story in consideration Of money
when he knew to do so meant
death. Is not his testimony in
his physical condition very much
akin to dying declarations If it
is true that Powers, Taylor, Gold
a. Davis. Culton and others did
conspire to and murder Senator
Goebel, what then.
Men who would commit such
crime, would they not fraudulent
w disfranchise the honest voter?
Is there any crime so dark and
heinous they would not commit?
The same men that are under
the charge of murder, by one of
their own, aye the men who fgur-
ed in the November election and
are causing trouble now.
Justice Justice! Let only JUS
tice be- done.

Anent Mr.. Sheldon's attemp

Anent Mr.. Sheldon's attempt
to run newspaper d la Jesus
Christ, we would like to say that
we believe the whole thing was
blasphemous. Mr.. Sheldon S
phrase "what would Jesus dor"
is misleading and impractical. II
Jesus were here he wouldn't run
a newspaper at all. He would
not accept an election to the Pres
idency or take the position OF
Prime Minister Of any govern
ment. He wouldn't do any one
of a thousand things that it is right
and proper for us to do. There
is wide difference between the
phrases "what would Jesus dor"
and what would Jesus have us
dor" 1t is as wide as the distance
between the work of the Savior of
the world and of a mere man.
Someone has written book enti-
tied IF l were God. !" Such ban
dying of the Holy Name is BIAS
phemous. Sheldon's phrase is
little better. But reverence has
well nigh played out anyhosS'::'
Cheer up! Wen al he dead soon.

Dogs Work Blacksmith's BelloWS,

"Talking about the labor that train ID
animals, and especially dogs. are cap
able of doing for men. there is over on
the East Side of my city" said a New
Yorker recently. "a blacksmth's shop
in which the bellows of the forges are
worked by three Newfoundlands. In
one corner of the shop there is a wood
en- wheel about eight feet in diameter
and wide enough for a dog to stand in.
When the wheel is at rest the dog
stands in much the same position as
the horse in a child's rocker. with it's
head always turned toward the forge,
awaiting orders. When told to Go
ahead the beast on duty at once starts
on brisk trot. which makes the wheel
turn around rapidly. and by means of
a crank and lever the power is con-
veyed to the bellows.
The dogs work willingly aud with
such intelligence that people passing
the shop are never weary watching the
animals to keep the smithy's fires
bright. Each dog works in the wheel
for one hour and then rests for two.
They cost the proprietor Of the shop
about 50 a week each to feed, and he
estimates that they save him S12 per
week, as otherwise it would require
at least the services of two men or a
small engine to Go their Work.-Wash.

A well-dressed gentleman, whose
bearing indicated standing, refinement
and wealth, chung to strap in a Penn
sylvania avenue car a few days ago.
1.-THE car was crowded. When he was
approached by the conductor and his
fare requested, he ran his fingers in
the little change pocket of his over
coat.
His hand sought his right trousers
pocket, the left and those Of his vest at
last, going through every pocket in his
clothes.
A blank look of amazement over
spread the gentleman's face, followed
by smile, in which the passengers
near him joined.
Really" he exclaimed to the con-
ductor, whose smile had not yet ap-
peared, really am very much en-
barrassed. I find to my chagrin that
haven't any money whatever upon me;

BRAINERD. April q 1eOC

DAs<A44~GAlD, April Il, lSUU,
Bro. McEWen:-At the last regular
meeting Of the Retail Clerks union, To-
cal No. POS, we had the pleasure of ini-
tiating three clerks, and made good
union clerks of them. The boys stood
the test we'll. Our goat, which had not
been used much. Of late, was in good
condition for the work. Sam has rid
den good many goats, but he will
never forget the clerks union goat. He
says it is dandy. And Willie-it was
his first experience, but nevertheless
he did remarkably. At one seige of the
ride where the path was stony and
rough, we had to revive him. with a
little water, which seemed to straight
en- him up so as to go on the rest of his
journey nicely. But Jimmy took it all
in his usual good natured way, and
said he had the worth of his money.
After the military work we got down to
business. A committee of three of our
young lady members were appointed to
wait on the business men to ask them
to close their stores at $50 every night
Of the week except Saturday night and
pay nights, for the summer months,

chants also to breathe the pure air for
an hour or so each day. The commit
tee consisted of Miss Sadie REILLY, Miss
Sophia Moe and Miss Anna Swanson.
The committee started their petition
going and met with remarkable sue
cess. Only three merchants refused to
sign. Of course this means a failure,
as we could not ask them to close their
places of business regardless of those
other three. We will circulate a pc
tition asking the citizens of Brainerd
to sign, requesting the merchants to
close, as some of the ones who refused
to close stated that they had been
asked to keep their places open at
night, to enable some of their custom
ers to do their buying after they got
through work.
"A committee of five was appointed to
make arrangements for our third an
nual ball, which will take place soon.
The date has not been set as yet. -
The Trades and Labor assembly at
their last melting adopted a resolution
to the effect that every member of a
local union should require his family
to deal with members of the union in
making purchases at stores, and refuse
to be waited on by non-union clerks
and further resolved that any member
detected smoking non-union cigars or
getting shaved in non-union shop,
should be fined so cents and remain
suspended from all privileges Of the or
der until such fine was paid. The. as
sembly recommended the passage Of
similar resolutions by the various local

Most of the Wickedness of the BOu-

It is common for tourists to regard
a brilliant, snowy life to be seen on
the Partisan boulevards and in the
swell places of amusement as typical
of French gayety. There could be no
greater mistake. If one takes the trou-
BILE to analyZe the crowd which is so
conspicuous in these resorts for its
grooming, it's lavish expenditures, and
it's questionable dissipation, he will find
that it is not French. 1t is cosmopof
itan, hybrid-made up of the rich and
irresponsible. the declasse. of dozen
countries. The fast life Of the boule-
wards, of the great and famous cafes
chantants, Of the race-course, of the
great drives, is largely foreign. It in
cludes the golden youth of America,
who busy themselves squandering what
their sires have shaved to save; it in

ropean countries-Spain, Russia, Bull

ury and wantonness. This is what the
superficial travellers call gay Paris, but
itris not real aPris. have frequently
heard French people regret that for
eign visitors regard this kind of life
as representative French gayety, and
protest against the practice, so COM

circle for the purpose of seeing how
the French enjoy themselves. =.
There are no doubt many French peo-
pie In these throngs; there are many
who furnish the amusements, clever
people who know how to administer
to fast tastes and to charge roundly
for what they furnish; there are other
clever people who are neither tastid-
ious in their tastes nor scrupulous in
their dealings, who systematically ex-
plot these wealthy foreigners, drawing
from their generosity q handsome liv

men who seek fortune or amusement
IN this SET but would scorn the idea

there is nothing really representative

NEGRO LAD INvENTs NEW GUN.
Eugene Bufkin- Of Chicago Con
structa a Rapid-Fire Machine
WQannn. ~ "a

strUctS n Rapid-Ffre Nachtne
Weapon. 80" NJ .
Eugene Burkin, a colored boy of 19
years, who lives over on Chicago's great
West Side, is the inventor OF a RAPID
fire machine gun which he claims IS
the most effective weapon of its KIND
in the world, and is destined to thro"
the invention of Maxim and Norden-
feldt, now in general use in the arma-
ments of the world, into the scrap heap'
Several experts who have seen the
model of Burkin's gun pronounce 1t. a
marvel of ingenuity and terrible
weapon. The boy is said to have re-
fused an offer of $4,000 for his inven-
ton through motives of patriotism, ne
being DESTROYS that the United States
government. should have the first OPP
portunity to test and purchase the
weapon.
Burkin is a source of pride to the
colored population of Chicago, who are
jubilant that one of their race should
develop the creative power. The boy
has never had any mechanical train
ing, yet all the work on his model has
been his own. The first idea of the
weapon came to him during the Span
/ lsh- American war, when the magni-
11cent work of the American gunners
directed his thoughts to guns and their
improvements. He constructed his first
model of wood, his only tool being a
jackknife.
The lack of funds then threatened tC
put stop to the young inventors work,
but he finally obtained enough money
| to get into an iron works on the West
Side, which gave him the use of its
tools and machinery for SIS a day
Here he constructed the model, which
he sent to the patent office at Washing
ton. which has already allowed seven.

Gov. Lind spoke at the State Capitol
Sunday afternoon at the last of the Sc
ries of labor mass meetings arranged
by organized labor and st. Paul minis
tiers. The attendance was larger than
usual.
Gov. Lind's subject was Capital: Its
Uses and Abuses His definition Of
capital was that part Of wealth en-
ployed in the production of things for
the maintenance and improvement of
men. Labor was not the only factor,
as some seemed to think, in the pro-
duction of capital. Natural resources
and capital previously accumulated al
so entered into the production. Fine
residences were not capital; only build
ings such as stores, factories, tools and
improvements employed directly in pro-
duction.
Money is never capital" he said.
1T simply commands capital. If every
dollar in money should be destroyed
the world would have just as much
capital as before, but those who now
have the money would lose their pow
or to command capital drought that
medium. If this conception be correct,
then capital is always good, and never
Il menace to the people, although its
improper use may become so. We can
not have too much capital, and it would
make but little difference who owned,
if only the results of it's use were fair
~ divided between those who owned
and those who performed the labor. 1t
is the use of capital that is of vital i'm
pOrtance, and not it's ownership.
THE great problem is to secure for
labor a larger share of the joint pro-
duct of labor and capital. AS it is now
capital takes more than it's share. How
to remedy that is question I cannot
discuss in detail at this time. A little
over year ago l made a suggestion
to the legislature in the line of COM
polling little more equitable distri-
button by taking more from capital
for employment in public capital
through the medium of taxation. The
only hope Of reaching a solution is by
the organization Of labor for standing
and acting alone in the individual is
poWerless.
Concentration of wealth in so far as
it means more economiY system of
production might be a blessing to all
the people, but the monopolies have be-
come so powerful that they defy pub
lie control and are not responsible to
the people at all. They should be
made amenable to the law. To discuss
