The Unitarian Fair.

The Unitarian fair was held in the
town hall on Thursday and Friday of
last week and was the most success
full .one ever held in the history of the
society. over $500 was netted, which
well repaid the ladies for the hard
work. ON Thursday evening a
chickcn-pie supper was served which
attracted large patronage; following
this the farce "Bachelor's Bedroom o.
Two in the Morning" was well played
and greatly enjoyed. Only two actors
were required, b. f. Field and J. w.

per was followed by dance, the music
being furnished by Leltsinger's orches-
ira of BrattlebOro. The crowd was too
great for comfortable dancing. Booths
tastefully trimmed displayed articles
of every kind to tempt the buyer. Sew
eral handsome quilts were sold. also
an electric taper. these being drawn

plates and dolls. The most attractive
feature of the fair and the one that
Melted the most money was the re-

Miss August OsgoOd. Every article
on the table was contributed by absent
friends, and about so gifts, including
$50 i'm cash. were exhibited, and the
sum realized was 1852, all expenses Of
this table being paid by Miss Osgood.
The libcrality and hearty response was
very gratifying to the society and gifts
there brought vividly to mind many
absent friends, who in former years
had helped to make the fair success.

Will OPEN MONDAY
POLITICAL CAMPAIGN WILL BE-
OPENED BY TRUELsEN.
Truelsen Will he the Asressor-The
Republicans Will Await His First
Attack-Truelsen Will Claim That
tho Administration Has Been a
Failure, That II Has Not Re-
formed-rhi. Republican. Deny.

The political campaign will open in
earnest next Monday evening, The
Republicans have not yet announced
their first meeting. Mr.. Truelsen will
open his batteries at Turner Hall, now
known as the Sixth Z avenue theater
Monday evening. It; is thought that
the Republicans are awaiting the result
of this meeting. They will be on the
defensive in this campaign, and it is
generally supposed that their defense
! will be to answer Truelsen and keep on
his trail. While the average person
imagines that the campaign will be
quiet, we venture the opinion that be-
fore February 4th rolls aruond, it will
be decidedly warm.
Mr.. Truelsen will attack the adminis-
tration Of Mayor Hugo. He will claim
that it has been a failure, that it was
false to the people, that it has not been
friendly to municipal ownership, and
that It's police department was any,
thing but good On the other hand
the Republicans will claim that they
have accomplished every reform they
attempted. That the administration Of
the city's affairs were never better
that the financial standing of the city
is first class, and that the police de-
partment is absolutely free from cor
ruption. After the speaking is ended
the voters will then know about how
much has been done, and how much
they can expect in the future. What
ever the outcome will be, for decency's
sake let both sides be free from dirt
throwing. Let it be clean campaign.

deeming itself after years OF Inactivity.
A few years ago the union suffered a
severe setback because of some 1nad-
visable actions, but since then some
newer blood has been injected into the
union, and everything indicates that
from now on the union will make a
splendid showing. At their Tuesday
evenings meeting there was an un-
usually large attendance. Six new
members were initiated. For the past
80 days the union reduced the initia-
tion fee to $500. At the last meeting
it was raised to the old figure. The
North Land was taken from the un-
fair list and placed on the list Of union
houses. The union is feeling highly
jubilant in the efforts to make every
restaurant in the city strictly union. A
committee was appointed to arrange
for a dance at Odd Fellows hall in
February. The committee consists Of
w. McComber, Bumpus, Palmer, Mar
garet Holmes and Laura Carlson. The
receipts of the meeting were $1,000.

seemed the central article of his faith.
John Swinton was ever true, laboring
as he could to give it fulfillment and
justifying his claim to be remembered
among those who have fought the bat
tie for the unarmed and interposed
their shields in defense of the defense

Il remember to have talked with him
once about Ruskin's appearance in the
literary field as a political and social
economist, his first essay in that di-
rection being series Of papers entitled,
Unto This Last published in a Lon
don magazine, Temple Bar, if I am
correct in my recollection-and 7 read
them as they appeared with an i'm
preston of their magical eloquence
which still fingers with me. Ruskin
was only known then from his early
discourse on art, the rest of his books
remaining yet to be written; I told Mr..
Swinton that an essay by Shelley on
the relations of labor and capital or
the theory of rent could not have sur
prised me more. I quoted to him a
passage from one Of the papers which
remained in my memory, it's import
being that wealth in it's visible SYM
bols sometimes stood for destruction
instead of production being thus un-
blessed and a baleful sign to the gen.
erations. Some treasures he says,
are heavy with human tears as an ill.,
and in the gathering thereof hearts
have been bruised and broken instead
of comforted and uplifted. That
which seems to be prosperity may in
deed be but the gilded index of far
reaching ruin; the wrecker's handful
of spoil cleaned from the beach to
which he had beguiled an argosy; the
camp followed's bundle of rags stolen
from the breasts of goodly soldiers
dead; the purchased pieces of Potter's
fields wherein shall be buried alike the
citizen and the stranger" I told Mr..
Swinton that while these rhapsodies
seemed to me in the highest degree
impressive I could not see that they
had much economic value, and thirty
years later I might, but would not,
have said to him something of like
import concerning his own Industrial
and theological discourses.
my first thought on reading of Mr.
Swinton's death was that after forty
years acquaintance really knew very
little of him-that our personal inter-
course had been extremely limited. His
brother William I knew much better
and maintained with him a friendly
intimacy from those early days till his
death, which took place in Brooklyn a
few years ago. John was the aggres-
sive and disputatious representative of
the family; William stood for it's gen.
tle1ess, modesty and reserve. Both
were we'll, even highly, educated; they
alike lived up to high professional sled
personal standards, and each has left
a name in New York journalism asso-
ciated with much excellent and honor
able work and worthy of respectful aid

The result of the recent conference in
New York city, about which there
seems to be more or less haziness OF
understanding, appears to have been
the establishment of a high court of
arbitration for labor and capital 1t is
not compulsory court, as is that gov
ernment managed department in New
Zealand, but is one which stands ready
to mediate between employer and en-
ployed whenever it's good offices shall
be accepted.
The court comprises thirty-six men,
bers and is composed Of twelve CAPT.
talists, twelve labor leaders and twelve
public citizens.
The province and scope of the COM
mittee as announced by the conference
are to promote industrial peace, to
be helpful in establishing rightful re-
lations between employers and work.
ers, by it's good offices to endeavor to
obviate< and prevent strikes and lock-
outs and to aid in renewing industrial
relations where a rupture has occurred.
1t was the expressed opinion of the
conference that employers and work.
ers, organized and unorganized, should
ences before an acute stage had been
reached and thus avoid strikes and
lOckouts.
The committee, as whole, or a SUBJ
committee by it appointed, shall, when
requested, act as forum to adjust
and decide upon questions at issue be-
tween workers and their employers pro-
vided in it's opinion the matter is one
Of sufficient Importance, but will as
sumo no powers of arbitration unless
such powers be conferred by both par
ties to the dispute. Abstract industrial
problems will not be considered.
The makeup of the committee would
seem to indicate that a long step has
been taken toward better UNDER
standing of Industrial controversies
In the division representing capital
are Senator Hanna, President Schwab
of the steel trust, John D. Rockefeller,
Jr., and other large capitalists. Such
we'll known labor leaders as Samuel
Gompers, John Mitchell and Theodore
shaffer appear for labor, while Bishop
Potter, Archbishop Ireland, Grover
Cleveland and President Eliot of Har-
ward college represent, the type Of citi-

zItS IL generally considered that thee
highest wisdom and best thought Of
both capital and labor are represented
on the committee and that men Of
such caliber and character easily can
be brought together on common ba-
sis for the promotion Of the best inter-
ests of both sides.
Senator Hanna acts as chairman.
Samuel Gompers and Oscar Straus are
vice chairmen, and Charles A. Morse
is treasurer.

John swinton, the great journalist,
He parted from this life, after having
lived three score years and ten in the
full possession of all his faculties.
By his death humanity has lost a
lover; the working people have lost a
friend; organized la Dor has lost a
staunch advocate and counselor
The greatest tribute to his memory is
the quiet sorrow which wells from the
hearts of his friends who learn that
this man of men, this brave brother in
labors fraternity has passed away
The following from the pen Of T. c.
Evans may be of interest to our read
ers:
John Swinton's death came after a
little more than forty years of journal
istfc service, and in that long period he
had ample opportunity to utter forth
all that was in him, and display to
the full his many-sided views of the
world and human life and destiny. He
was a reformer born with a generous
thought for his fellowman everywhere
and willing to labor and spend himself
to the uttermost to the end that the
necessary and inevitable burdens which
life must bear might be In some meas
ure mitigated.
This spirit appeared in him early
long before he had begun his labor
harangues and set forth avowedly to
rectify what was amiss in the relation
Of the laboring man to his employer
and society at large. The bud appeared
in the green tree which, perhaps broke
into no flower Of realization and with
cred away in the dry. 1t was an early
article Of his creed that in the dis
tribution of its rewards destiny was
blind and capricious, and in most cases
cruel-and that but for the corrective
of generous and humane endeavor and
active working sympathy between man
and man the race would wither away
and perish-a lot which ultimately
awaited it in any case-and which
would have overtaken 1t long ago If it
had not been for the appearance now
and then of an apostle with the Gospel
ready in his heart as we'll as on his
lips, "Thcu shalt love thy neighbor as
thyself," and thou shalt give him al
ways honest work and honest reward
and lay no stone in the fabric Of thy
prosperity in the mortar of his suffer-
ing or oppression. TO this, which
