impersonal basis.
Whether or not the people in their ag-
gregate capacity and through the agen>
cies of government are destined to bear
any substantial part in the operations
which will produce permanent agreement
between these two forces it is not at this
time easy to venture an opinion; but
that peaceful methods will speedily be
evolved from present conditions through
one agency or another there is no room
to doubt
To those who are not intimate with
the operations of labor organizations it
has never been quite plain why it Is
that labor organizations have refused to
allow themselves to occupy the plane
pointed out by Mr.. Clark. But that they
have refused to allow themselves to be
treated with either through the courts
or otherwise as corporate entities the en-
tire history of the movement in the Unit
ed States shows. 1t may come sooner
or it may come later; but come 1t will
that labor and capital will meet on per-
fectly even ground IN the conduct of
their negotiations, and that society will
stand in the relation at leastyof modera-
tor in the adjustment of their difficult
ties.
There will be much friction before such
conditions are reached. But the savage
method Is bound to come to an end.
Such scenes as those enacted in Albany
within the past few days simply repre-
sent a survival of the crude and print
tive methods by which alone it has been
possible thus far to adjust industrial
disputes after they have reached a given
stage of development
If Mr.. Clark and his great organization
will contribute their Intelligent aid to
bringing about the new era in such re-
lationship, as early as possible, they
will be availing themselves of the most
benehcent of the many admirable uses
to which their order can be put.

POLITICS OF THE STATE.

Despite the fact that ''the gang has
decEeed Gov. Van SAINTS denomination
there are some impervious Republicans
who are bold enough, it is said, to protest
against this plan. The head of this
obstinate faction is ait Duluth and may
be found among the Willcutts' crowd. 1t
VIII be remembered that Lee Willcutts
and his friends were pretty badly ignored
by the governor last winter in the mat
ter of an appointment and at that time
they swore vengeance on him Page
Morris, who took an active hand in the
fight OH the Willcutts' side, was also
quite abruptly turned down by Gov. Van
SAINT and now Page is said to be "agin

Mayor Cardle, of Cass Lake, was in
the city yesterday. He confirms the re-

Leech Lake and vicinity were more in the
air than anywhere else. According to
Mr.. Cardle, everything is peaceful and the
citizens of his part of the state are not
apprehensiye at present of any outbreak
among the red men. He intimates that
the reports have been greatly magnifed.
This confirms a statement recently made
in one of the hotels in this city by Mr..

active IN the troubles there two years
ago.

There are few great minds engaged in
