The Minneapolis Journal says that
the carpenters strike in that city is
practically over and all union car
penters will probably be back to work
again by Monday morning. The set
Element was brought about by the &C
ton of the building trades council,
which requested the wood works union
TO withdraw their delegates. This
was practical withdrawal of sup
port, and left the carpenters without
any substantial backing so that they
had to give in and effect the best set
Element they could.

The Minneapolis Journal Saturday

The Minneapolis Journal Saturday
evening contained a dispatch from
London to the effect that Germany is
preparing. for war with the United
States, and gives this as the reason for
the extensive naval preparation which
is going on in that country. 1t is
possible, of course, that Germany may
dream of future trouble with the
United States, but we very much doubt
it is any more tangible than it's dream
of trouble with any other country may
be. The cause of possible war with
this country as given by the English
press, is the extensive German colon
izatlon that is going on in South
America, and the. desire that is felt in
Germany to bring these settlements
under it's direct control. This under
the Monroe doctrine cannot be done
and it's attempt would either lead to
war or complete backdown by the
United States. The latter is hardly
probable. While Germany would nat
urally take great interest in any ex-
tensive settlements of its people which
are being made in South America, but
it is altogether probable that Emperor
William will think the matter over
several times before he will decide tc
stir up trouble with the United States
over the matter of the disintegration
of South American nations.

The Fairfax Standard thinks that
in the light of what was done by the
recent legislature, it will be extremely
difficult for any future body to prolong
its session tothe full constitutional limit
of ninety days. So it would seem. Yet
when it comes to legislative body, it
is hard to tell what it will do.

THE PRESIDENTS TRIP.

The presidents western trip which
he beganMonday will be one of the most
extensive trips ever made by a presi
dent of the United States. 1t will
carry him though tweny-four states
and territories, some of which have
never before been visited by the chief
executive. 1t will also enable President
Mckinley to add much to his knowl-
edge of the country for at its conclu-
sion there will be but two states and
two territories which he will not have
visited during his admins tration OF
previous to its beginning. These
states and territories are Ar kansas,
Nevada, Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory. The president has already
visited every state east of the Missouri
river and has even crossed the line
into the Dakotas, Nebraska and Kan
sas, He has made extensive trips to
all parts of the east, south and middle
west since he became president, an d
tulS ACW OACuLSlOu Will CdIIy Hill
through Texas, New Mexico, Califor-
MIA, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Mon
tana, Wyoming and Colorado. He has
travelled more extensively than any OF
his predecessors and has already come
in contact with more people than any
other living man. He has made
speeches in every state from Maine tc
North Dakota and from Minnesota tc
Florida and Louisiana. There has
been strong pressure to induce him
to visit Arkansas and Oklahoma and
Nevada has urged him to make a
detour into that state, while the rep
resentatives of the tri bes in Indian
Territory have petitioned him not tc
forget that unique section of the
Union. 1t has, however, been impos-
sible to arrange these side excursions
and they will have to wait for another
opportunity of securing a visit from
the president. In many ways it will
prove most valuable trip.

Washington advi ces state that Sena
tor Fairbanks of Indiana is actively
engaged in working up sentiment fav-
orable to himself as a candidate for the
Republican nomination for the presi
dency in 1904. Fairbanks friends
claim that he is the administration
candidate for McKinley's successor,
but shrewd politicians take but little
stock in this. They do not believessthe
administration is yet taking much in
terest in the next presidential cam
paign, at least to the extent of at
taching itself to the political fortunes
of any particular man. Fairbanks is
rather early in the field. He ought to
remember the fate of the early worm
as well.as the story of the early bird.

POINT PLEASANT.
Now Getting Ready For the Lake Sea.


son.
Mine host Barclay is rapidly getting
his hotel in condition for the enter
tainment of lake guests and accom-
modations Of a superior character will
be provided those who make Point
Pleasant their rendezvoux during the
heated term. An addition 16x3O has
been erected on the south side of the
hotel A fine hard pine floor has been
laid and the extension will be screened
IN as a protection against flies and
mosquitoes. 1t will make delightful
Longing place hot summer afternoons
and evenings and for an occasional
hop it will be par excellence. He has
also made an excavation under the
kitchen and is finishing off a large,
airy room for laundry purposes. He
has constructed mammoth refrigera-
tor that will be installed for the pro-
lection and preservation of perishable
fruits and vegetables during the sum-
mer, and is charging the kitchen and
serving room to a capacity that will
accommodate the rapidly increa sing
trade of the hotel.
The unsightly hole on the west side
of the hotel has been filled in and will
be seeded. This improvement will add
much to the appearance of the
grounds.
The cottages are also coming in for
their share of attention, and within
ten. days everything about the Point
will present a most inviting appear
ance. Mr.. B. is also putting his boats
in exceptionally fine repair, and he
will have fleet of row boats the COM
ing summer that will surpass anything
heretofore supplied to pleasure seekers
| Parties having summer cottages on
the Point are determined to brush up
a bit this season.
Mr.. Geo. E. Brett is having the
roof of his cottage repaired and will
proceed forthwith to brighten up the
exterior with a coat or two of paint.
The Meagher cottage will also undergo
some needed repairs and will be much
improved in appearance with paint.
The old walk in front of this cottage
has been torn up and will be graveled
to the stair landing. Mr.. and Mrs.
Spencer have been cleaning up the
grounds, putting in garden truck,
and preparing for summers active
outing. James says that he is not
certain that other cottagers can be
supplied with vegetables from his
"patch, as he has not yet sufficiently
developed his agricultural knowledge
to forecast what the harvest will be.
| Boat landings on the lake all receiv-
ed a severe "shock'' from the ice last
winter and not one escaped. They will
all require the services of carpenter
and visit to the lumber yard.
Most of those owning cottages on
the Point will put them in habitable
condition the present week. Mr.. and
Mrs. Owen have taken possession of
their pleasant summer home; L. P.
Hunts cottage has been cleaned and
ready for occupancy; Alba Lewis cot
tage will be renovated this week; the
Spencer and Brett cottages will be
painted and cleaned within a week !;
the Ray cottage will be formally open
ed about the middle of the month-in

tagers will be on from the first of next

The Pioneer Press thinks that the
bill board ought to be made an object
of good round tax and believes that
if the tax commission, which is now
graphing with the problem of revis-
ing the taxation system of the state,
"could see its way clear it would be
an excellent thing for the state treas
ury and for the curtailment of the bill
board nuisance if it would induce the
Legislature to impose good round tax
over and above the local license fees
collected The bill board is certainly
more often an eyesore than anything
else, and is as whole a most profit
able business and ought to pay a tax
beyond that which is paid upon the
office furniture Of the parties vino in
fict it upon the public. The idea of
the Pioneer Press ought to be consid-
cred by the tax commission.

Speech by Emma Goldman.

You want bread, but who will
give it to you? No one will
give it to you. If you want it
you must take it. If you do
not get it on your own demand
take it by force. Go out into
the social revolution. Prepare
yourselves. The capitalists
have prepared themselves with
the police, who are armed with
pistols and clubs. You can de-
fend yourselves with stones, if
attacked, l tell you again, or
ganize and go and demand
what you want, and, if it is not
given, then take it by force.
If you take bread alone if will
not help you much. Take
everything. March to the
palaces of the capitalists and
demand your rights, and if they
are not given to you, take them
by force You will be attacked
by the militia and the police.
You must be prepared to de-
fend yourselves with sticks and
stones. Either you will have
to do what l tell you or you can
go home quietly, lay yourselves
down and die Of hunger. 1t is
true you are not prepared,
while we know that the police
are with weapons, but we also
know where the weapons are to
be obtained. We are living in
a time when we must act. Now
that you know what you have
to do prepare yourselves. May
anarchy live!"-The Steno-
