Wears Long Locks as Result Of Be


James -Ciawson, one of the proni-
nent men of Southern Illinois, has not
had his hair cut since Cleveland made
his second race for the presidency and
was defeated. Uncle Jimmy" as
everybody in Coles county calls him,
IS seventy three years old, but the fire
OF youth is in his eyes and his step
IS quick and firm. He is as straight
as a West Point cadet and takes an
active part in public affairs
Uncle Jimmy was a firm believer
IN the success of Cleveland each time
that the New York man ran for the
presidency. After the second nominal
ton Clawson made bet with some
OF his Republican nieghbors to the eff
feet that he never would have his hair
cut until Cleveland should be elected.
The Democratic candidate was beat
en- that time and Uncle Jimmy let mis-
hair grow, as he had promised. He
was pleased with the result So much
SO, that when Cleveland was elected
again four years later he did not sac
r1flce his locks, but let them grow.

appealed to Wall Street-that is to say,
Washington-as the late Mr.. Pullman,
Mr.. Marshall Field and others did in
Chicago in 1894?
The bill now under consideration by
the senate is designed to meet such
emergencies.
In view Of the matter in which it
is to be offcered and the territorial
scope Of it's possible military service,
under any conditions. this proposed
force has every essential characteristic
of the regular army. The effect Of the
provision If enacted, would be to give
capitalism a regular military estab-
lishment, in active service, of from
army reserve of 100000, the total force
may direct, together with a regular
army recerve of 100000, the total force
OF trained soldiers at the Presidents s
personal beck and call being no less
than 100000 men.
And in order to bring into existence
so large an army in the United States
the prime movers of the scheme. are
cunningly attempting to impose this
additional force Of 100000 upon the
nation in a guise of volunteer s'nail-
itia", reserve.
It is indeed weak administration
which can be induced by capitalist in:

such contemplate indirection.

right, and that it will be the best way
to hurry the public ownership: of an
electric lighting plant. The proposed
franchise is so well surrounded with
guards, that in our opinion the
people have nothing to lose in grant
ing it. There is, however danger of
wood chuc<s" being put in at the last
moment. But he who succeeds in put
ting one in, will be very slick indeed.
If the aldermen really believe in pub
lie ownership, there ought to be num-
icipal lighting plant we'll under way
before the Great Northern Company
installs it's system in Duluth. The peo-
pie voted $4,000 for the building of
street lighting plant three years ago.
They are ready to vote again OH any
kind of a like proposition. While we are
talking about legislative needs for Dull
nth, why not prepare. bill securing
from the legislature the right to issue
bonds for the erection of modern
lighting plant. Take time by the fore
lock and act now.
Last week an employe of an employ
ment office was arrested and convicted
for obtaining money under false pre-
lenses. The police and license COM
mittee OF the council have been instruct
ed to make investigation into this GER
tain case. This is not the first time
that this committee has been instruct
ed to investigate employment agencies.
We only wonder what their finding will
be. Previously they have reported to
the effect that the private agencies
were as pure and honest as little in
nocent children. Now that conviction
has been secured it is expected that
the committee will report that the
guilty clerk merely fell from grace. as
any ordinary man is liable to do. Any
old kind OF a favorable report, will do,
just to prolong the life of that parasite
class who ride upon labor's back.

TRIAL or THE SERPENT; HAS
WARNING COME TOO LATE?

There has been devils work at Wash
irgton.
A. bill has pa ssed the house and is up
for consideration in the Senate that is
defiled by the slime of official cunning.
1t provides, beyond the reorganization
Of the militia, for a volunteer reserve
Of 100000 men, which it is not contem-
plated should be. and by no means is,
a militia organization at ALL
Although it is to t \esident within
the states none Of its Sers are to be
appointed by state authorities and no
governor will have the slightest con-
troll Of that portion of it resident or
quartered in his state. It is to be ab-
solutely under the control Of the presi-
dent, and subject to his call, for service
either WITHIN or without the limits of
the territory Of the United States.
The constitution. for which capital
ism processes such an inordinate regard,
expressly reserves to the states the
power to appoint the officers of the mill
itia. This volunteer reserve there
fore, cannot be any part of the organ
lied militia Of the country, and to place
it in bill designed to effect reorgan-
izatiorf Of the militia is to creep up un-
der cover.
1t is evident that the present secre-
tary of war, by and with the consent of
the President and his cabinet, is. ae-
tempting to do by stealth what the
people would frown upon if boughtshon-
estly and direccly before them. The bill
does not contemplate militia reserve,
but it is In effect 100000 increase Of
the regular army. It is designed to give
to the servants of capitalism in each
state a body Of armed men that can be
used locally against the working class
in it's effort to free itself from economic
tyranny particularly at such times as
the governor, who may recognize the
wrongs Of the workers, refuses to call
out the militia at capitalist mandate.
President. Cleveland at the request
Of the Chicago capitalists sent a de-
tachuent of the regular army into
Illinois during the Pullman strike de-
spite the protest of Gov: Altgeld.

In all probability the council will
srant to the Northern Power Company
franchise to occupy the streets and
highways Of Duluth for the purpose of
distributing power and light, by water
power on the condition that the High
land Canal Company surrender the
franchise granted to it last spring. We
opposed theHighland Canal Company
ordinance last spring because we did
not believe in giving away a valuable
electric lighting franchise under any
conditions at time when the people
were talking of building a municipal
lighting plant.
Since then the Highland Company has
temporarily abandoned the Duluth
Heights plan and has concluded to first
develop the recently acquired Cook in
terests along the dalles of the st. Louis
river. The latter plan appeals to the
average citizen as being more feasible
than the former.
ing plant. SO long as there is talk Of
water power development, the people
will not feel like building a steam pow
er plant. We believe then, that before
q municipal lighting plant can be erect
cd We must first secure the development
.of our water power. No company can
be expected to spend a large sum of
money in the development Of water
power, unless it receives reasonable en-
,,couragement from our people The
Great Northern Company, which is off,
cered and controlled by well-known
local men, asks for the right to use the
streets and highways, so that it may be
permitted to do business. AS the city
has no immediate desire to go into the
power business there ought to be no OBJ
Election to granting a power franchise

never heard of much opposition from
even the most enthusiastic municipal
Ownership advocates, to a strictly pow

pinch when a lighting franchise was
granted.
r.: In view of the fact that the city may
|declare the electric lighting portion OF
,the franchise null. and void, at any
time it desires to go into the lighting
