The Russian government Is slow TO eS-

The reasoning would be wrong but it
would probably appear conclusive from
foreign point Of view. The fact IS
that, all over the world there Is un-
rest. A struggle is on between Glasses
rather than between subjects and
government, and this class struggle Is
as intense in republics as IN countries
with autocratic governments, But the
republics should be first to find the cor

We notice thai the leaders or the
strikers in the disturbed district dis
claim all responsibility for the murders
that have occurred. They say the riot
took place in utter disregard Of the
teachings and principles Of the Mine
Workers union, and they call upon the
laborers to aid the police in maintain
ing the law. If this Is correct the oc-
currence only shows how dangerous 1t
Is to resort to the strike as a means Of
settling a labor dispute. II Is easy to
call for a strike, but 1t is not easy to
control the course 1t may take. 1t Is

THE ELKs' DISPUTE.

The dispute between Mr., Mulvey and
the Elks Of this city appears to be stlll
in progress. That gentleman has agreed
20 change the date OF the boxing con-
test which he had arranged for August
"A. go as to have It take place on the

der his direction, VIII not interfere

right Of the lodge to exercise any au-

tanned a license for the exhibition he
announces his intention to go on with
Il on that day,
But the lodge does not see the matter
exactly IN that light, and has passed a
resolution condemnng the attempt to
give the exhibition during the week IN
which the Elks convention Is to be
held, and appointing committee to
take steps to prevent the contest, even
TO the extent Of appealing to the city

"Grand Exalted Ruler and pre-
vent even the appearance Oh

Whatever may be the outcome Of the
controversy, 1t cannot be fairly charged
that the Elks lodge in this city is as
ISOLATED with the fstic encounter that
has caused so much discussion,
It Is pertinent TO the subject to mem
ton once more, the necessity of liber-
ality on the part Of our business houses
in subscribing toward the expenses at
tending the great gathering to take
place on the dates mentioned. The fin-
ance committee is still short, several
thousand dollars OF the amount re-
qulred to make the affair successful
Our business people will receive the
greatest portion Of the pecuniary bene-
fits arising from the influx of visitors
II Is q great mistake to suppose that
the local lodge will profit by the hold
ing of this convention.
The visitors expected will be largely
tourists. taking advantage Of the EIks
convention to obtain cheap rates on the
railroads They will obtain such I'M
pressions Of our city and our people as
will be made by their reception. They

profits will go to the business portion Of
