Captain RayT. Lewis, that old salt,
who enjoys the distinction OF: being
elected mayor with the largest majority
ever given candidate in this city. The
people could do worse than elect the
captain. He is absolutely fair, and
would pay close attention to the office
and work in the interest Of the city, be-
cause he has heavy property interests
here.
A. r.. Mcdonald is also spoken of in
this district. He was a member of the
school board here once, and served with
credit. He is a. thoroughly capable
man, and we have often regretted that
he is Republican.
IT we were to select two Democrats in
this district we would want no better
men than David Nelson of the Sixth
ward, and Harris Bennett of the Third.
In the Fifty-first District Laybourne
appears to have it all his own way for
! the senate, yet Senator Daugherty may
be heard from almost any day. We
| will listen to no one else but c. O.
Baldwin in this district. All he has to
do is to say the word, and ne will be
handed a certificate of election. The
people of that district know when they
have good thing.
N. F. Hugo and DR.. Budd, of Two
Harbors. have been decided upon by
the powers that be-" for the lower
| house. But the Democrats with Frank
| Crassweller, and James Kellogg,
| member Of the Locomotive Engineers,
from Two ,Harbors, would make them
look like thirty cents half spent. Would
not that be a combination that would
do credit to any party,-Baldwin Grass

GENERALS OF INDUSTRY AND
EVOLUTION.

The fiscal year which closed with the
month of June has brought great pro-
fits to the railroads of America as well
as to other Industries and corpora
tions. The revenue, according to the
report, is six per cent, gross. and when
the fact is kept in mind that this means
six per cent Oh the value of the stock
after the same has been inflated, and
then inflated, and then inflated, 1t IS
certainly enough to satisfy any ordln-
airy multi Millionaire. The magnates
are smiling, and the prophets are as
surfing them that with the crop years,
they will have reason to smile more dur
ing the coming year. The business OF
railroad building is also brisk, and taxi
en- altogether these are piping days OF
prosperity for the owners of American
land and labor. If only there were no
demands by the workingmen for short.
er hours of labor and for more wages,
demands occasionally enforced by
strikes, capitalistic bliss would be COM
plete No wonder Morgan, SchWab,
Carnegie, Rockefeller and their kind
hate the trades union and preach to
workingmen to stay out Of unions, for
they, by killing off initiative among the
workers, retard the advancement of the
workers. We are sorry that we cannot
agree with the generals of industry,
also sorry that strikes and boycotts in
terfere with the serene pleasures these
gentlemen enjoy while Fleeing the dear
public. but we in all seriousness note
that these strikes and boycotts are the
potent factors of growth and civillza'
ton, and even our multi-naillionaira
and Millionaire generals of industry will
have to admit that they are powerless
to stop the evolution of mankind-as
tvrants and kings Of old had to admit.

MEDITATION.

woman walked alone one night
Along the seabeat shore
And sadly turned her eyes to"aro
'Shall I. shall give up this mortal lie
And be no more.
''shau I throw off this cloak OF grief
And from my aching heart
Thrust forth the dagger that eacn day
Sinks deep it's piercing dart;
All! shall I, shall | close my eyes
And from this life depart?
ooh! waves! oh! waves that toss about
Can I upon thy breast
Law down my weary. aching head
And find sweet rest.
Speak out! Speak out! We heartless
For | am sore distressed"
"Oh! woman. woman softly spoke,
Each tossing. restless wave,
"Dost thou not know thy life belongs
Alone to Him who gave,
IT'S only He can bring the rest
Thy troubled heart doth crave
Then down she knelt upon the sand
And Whispered softly, lest
Perchance the stars might know that
she
Whose heart was sore oppressed
Had laid her burden on the Lord
And found sweet rest.

The Duluth unions which have taken
en- the stand for eight hours, are not
the gamers from financial standpoint,

if they are honest and understand what
they are talking Of; but they will hold
to the demand as firmly as ''grim death

will be the gamers in every way
in the long run, and especially morally,
physically, mentally, and last but not

ARTIST NOT APPRECIATED

From the New York Tribune:
A sorry is going the rounds in New
York studios which deals with the ex-
perience of a French artist who is not
unknown to fame in his own country
and who recently visited New York
He has since returned to Paris, and the
story can be told, though the artist
must remain nameless.
He dined alone one evening at hotel,
and he was we'll Pleased with his din
ner. While lingering over a cordial he
decided to show his approval Of the
meal and service by drawing an elobor-
ate sketch on the immaculate linen
cloth which covered the table.
A waiter discovered him and protest.
ed mildly. The Frenchman waved him
to one side and continued to draw
It was a Paris cafe scene he was doing,
and he was interested.
The waiter went to the head waiter
and complained that the artist was
spelling the tablecloth.
You must not mark UP the linen,"
said the lord of the dining room. 1T
is agaist the rules.
II make you very fine sketch, to
which I attach presently my own
name," replied the artist, continuing
to make lines.
II tell you to stop spelling the table,
CLOTH" repeated the head waiter.
In vain the Frenchman explained that
the hotel was welcome to cut out the
sketch and have it framed. He said
any cafe in Paris would prize such a
tribute and would have it framed for
hanging on the wall Of the dining room.
AS he explained he kept on drawing,
until the head waiter could stand it no
longer, and had him deposited on the
sidewalk.
The Frenchman was sadly offended.
Indeed, if the whole truth was told,
he was angry, as angry as he had
ever been in his life.
He crossed Fifth avenue at the risk
Of being run down by the stream of
abs. When he was safe at the opposite
curb he turned and faced the hotel.
His rage hardly permitted him to
speak, but at last he succeeded.
"Pigs!' he cried, and he spat at the
hotel through his teeth.

From Harper's:

Increasing Prevalency of Govt.

From the New York Tribune:
Doctors report that cases Of govt

country in proportion to the population
than in days of less diffused luxury;
In simpler times, in days of plain liv-

The postoffice department has de-

by the publisher of an electrical jour-

London, Feb. 13. - Descriptions Of the

now being made emphasize the fact that
the coming pa geant will be the richest and
most magnificent on record The model
exhibited at Norfolk house for the bene-
fit of the Deeresses has embroidered her
aldic devices on the kirtle. The license to
introduce coats Of arms and convert the
coronation into an heraldic garment i'm
plies an enormous increase in expense

The diplomatic set has been informed
that invitations to the coronation cere-
mony will be restricted to ambassador
and wife and that no other officials resi-
dent in the embassies, much less their
wives or daughters. will be admitted.
An exception undoubtedly will lie made
in the case of Henry White on account of
