THE MORAL EFFECT OF TRUSTS.
Whatever may be the position taken
by the leaders of organized labor towards
the trusts, there is no doubt that the
condition of the workingman has not been
improved since these large aggregations
of capital and corporate power have
reached their present dimensions The
arbitrary closing down of mills and fac
tories by the trusts, In order to regulate
production and prices, has made employ
meat so unstable that the man who works
for a trust cannot tell whether or not
on the morrow he will be allowed to
family
The dictum of a trust magnate, with
whom the workmen never come in con-
tact, and who is governed solely by the
desire to secure dividends for stockhold-
ers, regardless of the interests or neces-
stiles of the workmen, may at any time
result In thousands Of men being thrown
out Of employment, as, for instance, In
the case of the twelve mills of the Ameri-
can Steel and Wire company and the
three Joliet rod mills.
Under the reign of the, trusts there are
absolutely no, relations, either friendly or
otherwise, between the employer and the
employed. The absentee employer is a
soulless, in1personaf thing with whom the
workmen can never come INTO touch. He
is heard from, but never seen The fore
men and managers are no better off In
this respect than the laborer The skilled
artisan now feels that. however he may
exert himself and use his hand and brain
for, the benefit of his employer, there is
no PERSONAL employer to appreciate his
efforts. Faithful service may become a
forgotten virtue under this baIeful sys-
tenn, for human nature, however con-
scientious and seIf-sacrificing, demands
some measure of appreciation to sustain
it,
If the financial and commercial effects
of trusts are regarded as a national
danger, their moral effect is nothing
short of a national calamity.

A NEW OBJECTION TO EQUAL SUI
NRAGE.

Can a woman be a vagrant in the eyes
Of the law? Justice Martin of Chicago,
says not and he refused to convict
woman who was brought before him
charged with vagrancy. His decision ap-
pears to be based on the fact that there
is no law In Illinois which IS intended 10
compel woman to work to support her
family. If she has property she can be
compelled to use portion of 1T for the
support. of her children, but If she has
no property she cannot be prosecuted for
non-support of her family or compelled
to work to support her children. There
fore she cannot become a Vagrant in the
eyes of the law, as can a man, VINO may
family. compelled to work or be charged
with vagrancy.
If this decision Of Justice Martin Is
sound law. 1t indicates that woman Is
regarded by the law as a dependent. and,
as such. not bearing the responsibilities
imposed on q man. AT least this Is the
view taken Of 1t by a society known as
the Anti-Suffrage society, which is op--
posed to the extension OF the franchise to
women This society claims that
woman should not go out to work or he
sent out, and. as a matter Of fact, the
law does, not expect her to work, as it
does man. 1t has seized upon the de-
ciston. of Justice Martin and Is using 1t
with considerable effect in its campaign
against equal suffrage This society also
claims that the object of@socialisttc writ
ers in advocating industrial and polit4eal
equality Of the sexes is to discourage
monogamic marriages and to destroy the,
home life Of the nation. The arguments
1T advances are not new, but the new
phase opened by the decision of the Chi
cago court WILL add a little variety and
spice to the controversy and raise other
objections to female suffrage, which has
heretofore depended largely for its argu--
ment upon the proposition that woman
holding property and paying taxes should
be given representation and a vote.

Cannot Soff-Soap
The German Voter.
Translation of the volkzeitung Article.)
ALREADY YETI

And as expected, so 1t came. At the
very last moment, just before the voter
Is to cast his ballot in the present cleo
tfon, the Dispatch, the noble" party
organ, bends the supple hinges Of the
Knee to the German voters of the city.
and begs them not to forget their well
known and hfghly-prized political honor
and honesty and to refrain from entering
the camp OF the enemy. The Germans,
so says the Dispatch of last evening, are
recognized as the brightest, most progress
sive and able of all our foreign-born
citizens, ETC., and then draws its own con-
clusions to the effect that the Germans
will vote for no other candidates than
those indorsed by the Dispatch. What
Is the result? Has the Dispatch noticed
the flaming handwriting on the wall, in
which the German citizens have expressed
their disgust with the objectionable at
tacks made on honorable Germans-the
German people generally-a warfare in
which the. Dispatch has proved itself
an adept entitled to the highest credit 1t
almost seems so! With soft-gloved hands
1t pats the German voter on the back,
well realizing that in his hands lies the
control OF the situation in the present
contest. 1t presses to it's bosom the fond
hope that at the very last moment the
German voter may be won over by shall
| OAN
cry of 'D-n the Dutch" will again be
the slogan cry of the organ. Does the
Dispatch really believe that single
friendly CD word is sufficient to attone
for the inexcusable attacks on the Ger
man people of ST. Paul, reflected in al
most every issue of the paper during the
last week or months.
The reference to "Col. Kiefer and his
Hessian friends is not forgotten al
ready yet
The article of last evening was an in
suit from beginning to end to all the
good qualities of the Germans referred to
by the Dispatch, for it seems to imply
that the Germans would forego the pleas
ure they would find in Furnishing at the
polls the author of the insults by dis
carding in part at least the special pets
Of the organ. AS a rule, the honest Ger
man Is in the habit of drawing his own
conclusions after a due survey of the
field, and is not likely to be Influenced
by party organs, especially such as show
their friendship only "when in need.
This the Dispatch will fully realize when
the sun sets on the 1st of May already
yet"

ty Of failure. He is making lovers Of
baseball pay the penalty this year
But it is not alone as to baseball that
the lovers Of outdoor sports are suffer-
ers. The horse races which were the
glory of the sport-loving fraternity in
ST. Paul are no longer held. The Twin
City Jockey club meeting is thing Of the
past. True, there are races at the state
fair, but they have not been the kind
that attracted the sport-loving communi-
ty. There is golf, and bicycle races. la
crosse and cricket; but golf is exclusive;
bicycle races are all very well-in their
way-for people that sell bicycles; Ia
crosse, though fine, exciting game. is
not yet acclimated, and cricket does not
attract many except the players them
selves.
The boat club does not seem to do as
much as it might to amuse the public,
although it has a magnificent stretch OF
water available. But, for some reason
or other, it has not popularized itself, de-
spite the victories 1t mas won IN 1oreiSn
waters.
Altogether St. Paul does not enjoy as
full a supply of popular outdoor sports
as it might, and it is hoped that, III the
interests of every one, some effort will
be made this year to give the people
more exhilarating open-air amusements
and more pleasures. One feature that
the Globe would like to see revived
is the open-air band concerts in the pub
lie parks on week nights or Saturday
afternoons, and, considering their snail
cost as compared with the amount of en-
joyment they furnish, they are well
worth the money.

FRIDAY, APRIL q. 1900.
EDDY IS FIGURED OUT.

EDDY IS FIGURED OUT.
Tie Minneapolis Journal gentleman
upon whom has fallen the mantle Of po-
IltfcaI prescience formerly worn by that
seventh son Of a seventh son, Jerry Jay,
cast the political horoscope Of the Repub-
lican candidates for congress in the Sew
enth district the other day, and according
to his calculations Congressman Frank
NJ Eddy has small chance of securing a
denomination. The Journals political
seer gives to Eddy the counties of Ros-
eau. Norman, Big Stone Pope Douglas,
and probably Swift, but he is not quite
certain about Swift
To Ezra C. Valentine, one Of Eddy's
opponents for the nomination, he gives
the counties of Kittson, Polk, Clay, Will
kin. Grant. Stevens and Kandiyohi.
To DR.. Cole he gives Otter Tail county,
and he considers the counties of Red
Lake. Becker and Traverse either doubt
full or without preference.
If the figures of the Journals prophet
are to be accepted as correct, or nearly
correct, Congressman Eddy is more likely
than not to be beaten in the convention.
In fact 1t is not easy to see how he can
win under such conditions The Seventh
district Republican convention, which will
be held at Moorhead on Tuesday, May Is,
will be composed of 1873 delegates. With
the six counties the Journal gives to him.
Eddy would only have 81 delegates, this
number including the 10 delegates of
Swift county, which it is claimed is not
safely for Eddy. If Eddy secured the
delegates from all four of the doubtful
counties, he would secure the nomination
with only one vote to spare, but the Jour
nal holds out no hope that Eddy could
capture all the doubtful counties. and TO
lose any one of them would leave him
short of the 95 votes necessary for a nom
inat:on.
Mr. Valentine shows up in the Jour
nails list with seven counties sure. which
would give him 7s delegates, and he
would need three of the doubtful coun-
ties to help him to the nomination. If
there was straight th-ee-cornered fight.
But DR.. Cole is given Otter Tail county.

ENSEN'S LAME EXCUSE
HE HAD LITTLE TO OFFER FOR
HIS CONDUCT.

Chairman James c. Michael, of the
Democratic party, and City Clerk Matt
Jensen. had a duel Of words this morn
ing IN front of the court house, and an
Interested group Of politicians enjoyed
| the bout.
| 1t all turned on the action of the city
clerk In recognizing the Bell candidates
by giving them the second place on the
| printed ballot
Michael remarked that Jensen's con-
duct In this behalf was g. high handed
outrage.
Il did what I thought was right"
| said Jensen. None from your party ever
| spoke to me in the matter. Evidently you
thought that l would do just what has
been done"
] Il was satisfied your office would give
us the worst of It,, Just as 1t al
ways has" said Michael, with consider
able severity. Two years ago we had
to drag you before the court TO have you
undo just such a dirty piece Of business
Il thought L" stammered Jensen, bad
| ly ratified
| You knew our nominations were filed
first did you not?' inquired Michael
| yes, that is true
| You knew also that these nominations
| represented ninety-nine hundredths of
the Democratic party?' continued MI
chael.
| No answer
| "Yet in the face of all this you have
the hardihood to give these Bell candi-
dates second on the ballot?"
Il used my best Judgment, whimper-
ed Jensen.
you used the judgment of Woodruff
and Markham, together with your own,
for you three have been consulting with
| one another for some time," said Michael
How the representative of a party that
prides itself on having majority of the
brains, intelligence and conscience Of the
community could pull off such bastard
| ly piece of business, I cannot under
stand"
This last shot was too much for the
plant tool of the grand old party, who
skunk away and joined his old pal, Kirke,
on the corner.

He Is Engaged as Counsel for Pott-

The effect Of the decision Of the SUI
preme court was that the judges of the
district court had the authority under
the section to order City Clerk Jensen
to appear in court and show cause why
the names of certain persons which he
had placed wrongfully on the official bal
lot should not be stricken off Applica-
ton had been made to Judge Bum on
Tuesday by attorneys representing the
Democratic City and County organizatfo
and an order issued requiring City Clerk
Jensen to appear and show cause why
the names of persons alleged to have
been nominated in a convention, and after
whose names the word Democrat appear
ed, should not be stricken from the of
fetal ballot. In order to await the de-
cision of the supreme court on the ques-
ton of the legality of the section, under
which application was made to the dis
trict court, the hearing on the order in
the district court had to be continued. 1t
was set for hearing in the district court
yesterday morning at 10 o'clock, and
when the hour arrived the news of the
decision of the supreme court sustaining
the constitutionality of the law was con-
veyed to Judge Bum by John H. Ives,
one of the attorneys who argued the case
in the supreme court.
Pottgieser and other candidates who had
been placed wrongfully on the official bal
lot by the city clerk, was promptly on
hand when Judge Bum took his seat on
the bench In court room No. g. at 10
o'clock With Woodruff was Attorney
T. r. Palmer, who, addressing the court,
said he had been called upon to assist
in the case, but had not had the time
to give even a cursory examination Of
the papers. Unless it would work hard
ship, he requested the court to grant a
continuance until o'clock. John H
Ives said he had no objection to a
continuance, but suggested that a de-
lay might prevent the printing Of the
official ballots in time for the election.
City Clerk Jensen, who was present
stated that the work of printing the bali
lots would have to be commenced Fri
day morning in order to have them ready
for the judges on Monday. He said he
had been so advised by the printer.
Judge Bum asked as to the decision OF
the supreme court on the writ of prohi-
bition, and the censtitutionality OF the
law and was informed as to the decision
by Mr. Ives.
Mr. Woodruff was particularly anxious
to know if the court had passed on the
constitAtionalit of the law, or whether
it had simply denied the writ asked for.
Mr. Ives assured Woodruff that not only
had the writ been denied but that the
supreme court had held the section con-
stitutional.
With the understanding that Mr.. Pal
mer would be ready at 2 O'Clock to pro-
ceed, Judge Bum adjourned the hear
ing to that hour.

with its 19 delegates, and the Journal
prophet says that If Coles chances for
the nomination are seen to be impos-
sible on the first ballot, the 10 votes of
Otter Tail will go to Valentine, giving
him 92 votes, with his seven "sure coun-
ties" or only three short OF the num-
Der required to nominate. And It Is rea-
sonable to suppose that he would have
many more than three delegates from the
four doubtful counties
These are figures for Congressman
Eddy to cogttate over. They are drawn
from Republican sources and from a
Republican newspaper as impartial as the
Minneapolis Journal. True, the writer OF
the Journals article did not give the ac-
tual figures, but he gives the actual
counties. and the delegations to which the
different counties are entitled are taken
from the official call for the convention.
Perhaps if the writer OF the Journals
article had stopped to weigh his predic-
ton and digged up the figures he would
not have defeated Mr.. Eddy so rudely
and thus prematurely Out of considera-
ton for a brother Republican, he might
have softened the blow somewhat and
placed few more counties in the doubt
full column. But there it is. and 1t can
not now be withdrawn. Eddy is already
defeated, for the Minneapolis Journals s
political prophet says So and he knows
The Clio b e thought something serious
was going to happen to the Seventh dis
many letters. Letter writing is fatal
symptom in politicians.
