Americas Superior Schools.

In spite OF excessive decentralization
and the lack Of a regulative central au-
thority America has, by making educa-
ton local concern, by confiding to
each district the organization and con-
troll of its schools, by insisting on free
public schools in the true sense of these
much abused words, created a system
which, in spite Of it's crudeness and OBJ
vious imperfections, may yet excite our
envy, both as it brings education, sec
ondary as well as primary, within the
reach Of all and as it is capable; of in
finite self development and progress,
unshackled by the dead hand of &c
clesiasticism and departmental routine.

rhe Young of the Sen pevil.

You may find in the sea devil curl
Gus Illustration of natures system for
adjusting reproduction. The cod lays
several hundred thousand eggs at a
spawning because nearly all of them
must necessarily be lost while floating
on the waves and those which hatch
are mostly devoured. But the sea devil,
which produces but single young one
at time, retains the latter in it's belly
until the infant creature is from four
to six feet in length. SO that when born
it is able to take care of itself and is in
no danger of being DESTROYED.

were made Of mud and were full Of

inside the lock.

Nut Foods.

Nearly all nuts contain large per-
centages of heterogeneous constituents
and fats. In the nut kernel there is
very little waste-in fact, the nourish-
ment is in concentrated form. and
for that reason nuts are best combined
or taken with other foods. They are
especially valued for their fine, meaty
flavor, which is found in no other veg
etable food product.

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube gets infamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed Deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
it's normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh which is nothing e
but an inflamed condition of the muc-
Gus surfaces.

OFFICERS REPORTS.
President Nenry Makes a Complete
and Exhaustive Report.

President Neary Makes Complete
and Exhaustive Report
To the Officers and Delegates to the
Nineteenth convention of the Mime
sofa State Federation of Labor:
Again I have the honor and most
pleasant duty to welcome you in con-
vention. I am pleased to be able to
state that the reports to be submitted
for your consideration will show that
our grand organization has made most
satisfactory progress. From the records
Of your secretary-treasurer you will
learn Of an increase of membership and
organizations, and an excellent finan-
cial condition. It is with a deep sense
of personal obligation that I take this
opportunity to express my gratitude
for the kindly and loyal support, the
fraternal and wise counsel, the hearty
and valued cooperation, which was
at all times pleasantly received from
the other officers.
One year ago, in the city of Red
Wing, the representatives of labor in
Minnesota assembled on similar mis-
sion. That our work was we'll done,
and that our deliberations were bene-
fetal to the wage-earners is proven by
the activity shown in organized labor
circles in the past year, and by this
large assemblage Of delegates here to-
day. No better proof could be had that
the trade unions are success and are
progressing, and that they are untiring
in their efforts, than this large assem-
blage of representatives of organized
labor, gathered together for their mu-
tual protection, and to further the in
terests Of the wage-earners in general.
No Apology Necessary.
The time has gone by when labor
should apologize for organizing. 1t has
been proven that we have no excuses
to offer for our organizations, first by
the grand results brought about by or
ganized labor for the wage-earners in
general, and second, by the immense
organization and consolidation Of capi-
tai. Partisan newspaper, campaign or
ators and political serfs will tell US

agitation started by organized labor has
interested a gre&t many reformers ami
public men in the question. All pro-
posed laws tending to labelling prison
made goods, or curtailing the manu-
featuring of such goods have met with
such serious opposition from prison
contractors and prison wardens that
1t mas been impossible to secure any
legislation in that direction. In the last
legislature bill was introduced by Mr..
Lane, of Minneapolis, requiring all
prison made goods sold in the state 10
bear a stamp stating that they were
prison made" The bill died in the
committee room The prison labor. COM
mittee recommended it for indefinite
postponement. The management of the
penal institutions having been changed
from local boards to state board Of
control may make it easier to bring
about some reform. I recommend that
the officers Of the federation be in
structed to communicate with or in
terview the board with a view to bring
about the desired results. -.
1t remains for you, the delegated rep
resentatives of the wage-earners of the
otdIe " cudCt SuCI1 laws, dI1U give SUCH
instructions as may guide US to further
success. Let every delegate pay strict
attention to the business Of the conven-
tion, and remember that you are not
only here in the interest of your own
particular calling, but in the interest
of all wage~earners Of the state. This
being the first convention of this kind
held in the beautiful city Of Mankato,
let us show her citizens that we are as
capable of legislating as we are of toll
ing. Remember that by your actions
the wage-earners of the state will be
judged. Let our deliberations and be-
havior be such that when we leave the
city Of Mankato we shall have shown
to it's citizens that the organized labor
movement represents the best type of
the wage-earners of this state. Let
us make our every Individual as we'll as
combined action rebound to the credit
of the noblest and most worthy organ
iZation in the state.
Respectfully sumbitted,
M. E. NEARY,
President Minnesota State Federation
of Labor.

Guiding the lady 1elegaIes The dele
gates were fine appearing lot of men
and women and represented the more
advanced of labor's cohorts.
They were a band of earnest and
active workers, in a cause as holy as
there is in the cause Of
righteousness. When the federation
was expected in Mankato, the citizens,
most of whom were born there or have
lived in the city since the great Indian
execution in the early sixties, were
afraid that the federation was compos-
ed OF a savage LOT of fellows, whose

Grafton left, the citizens were sorry.
Every person in the city, from the bell
boy in the hotel to the mayor of the
city, said that the delegates were the
best lot of fellows they ever saw.
The convention was called to order
by J. E. Reynolds, city editor of the
Mankato Review, and an old time un-
ion man. DR.. J. M. Driver offered
prayer.
Mayor Peterson warmly welcomed
the delegates and in neat little speech
turned the city over to the convention.
President NJ. E. Neary of Minne-
apolis responded on behalf of the dele
gates and thanked the mayor and the
local committee for what had been done
and said.
The following committee on creden-
tials was appointed: Lewis Hanson Of
Minneapolis, Geo. M. Davis of Duluth,
J. P. Degman of Rochester, P. H. Coo
gan of st. Cloud.
The president waived the reading Of
the minutes Of the last meeting as
they had been printed in book form and
placed in the hands of the delegates.

kato last Tuesday afternoon is now
serving the federation in that capacity
for the fifth time. Previous to his elec-
ton as president he served several
terms as vice president Mr.. Neary is
one Of the most prominent men in the
state labor movement and is calm,
cool headed conservative man. There
were some delegates who thought that
he had that office long enough, but the
majority thought otherwise and he was
reelected. Mr.. Neary is a. gas filter
by trade and is an active workman
at his trade, Last year he was in
duced by his friends to accept the NOM
ination for secretary Of state on the
Fusion ticket. This was his only ex-
perience in politics and he says will
be his last.
