Where Labor Falls Down.
he Union, minneapolis, Minn.

From The Union, minneapolis, Mnn
Workingmen, like other people, sometimes
make mistakes, and we believe that one of the
greatest mistakes they make is in being too
ready to give credence to their enemies and to
mistrust their friends. They are, in most
cases, ready to believe tine best of the ones of
whom they have the most reason to be suspic-
ious, and too ready to turn their backs upon the
ones who have proven themselves their friends,
upon the slightest evidence, or no evidence at
all. Let one OF their own ranks make mis-.
take, or do an act which they do not thorough
ly understand or approve, and they will at once
jump to the conclusion that there is something
wrong, and chat they are being betrayed by the
one who has, perhaps, sacrificed all his best
years and energies in their cause. 1t is ser
ious mistake and one which the workingmen
should correct. They are apt to 60 to the two
extremes-they make either idols or martyrs of
tieir leaders. The popular leader of to-day,
whose every word is listened to with the great
es. respect, because he has as yet made nU mis-
takes, may be the hooted outcast of tomorrow,
because he has thought or spoken differently
from what the masses of the organization
would have him speak or think. Workingmen
must learn to trust their friends, and to stick to
them until they ale proven beyond doubt to be
in the wrong, if they expect to make progress.
No army could ever expect to win battles by
spending their time and energy attempting
to hnd some fault in their commanders or their
comrades, to the neglect of the more important
business of watching 10 see what their enemies
were doing. Neither will the spirit of mar
rowness and jealousy which prompts the
workingmap to attempt tc drag down one
OF MS companions who may, perhaps, be
little better fitted for leadership than the
majority, ever bring the workingmen to a
condition where they can be force for
their own betternent. Workingmen must learn
that it is necessary for them to look to them
selves and their own class tor any progress they
make, and that until they learn to trust and
.e oyal to their class for any progress they
make, and that, until they learn to trust and be
loyal to their class, they will be kept broken
up and divided, and will be the victims of the
"ruling Glass;" which rules because 1t is true
to its own class and to the interests of that
class. Let us not be too swift to condemn a
fellow workman, nor to believe everything we
hear in regard to him. Let us believe our
brothers are honest and sincere in their inten-
tons, even though we may not always think
Just as they do Remember, there is just a
possibility that hey may be right and we may
be wrong.
The above is applicable to reformers along
all lines. We are too prone to criticize the re-
former who does not adopt our plan OF bring
ing about certain reforms, although both are
aiming at the same object--ED. AGITAToR.

Rev. Goodheart having put up his
own money for the construction of
the building and will also ebuip it
himself. 1t is stated, however,
that If the public sees fit to donate
anything for running expenses, such
donations will be gladly received.
Rev. Goodheart's idea is to provide
an attractive place where men can
spend their evenings surrounded by
wholesome influences, who otherwise
might be tempted to saloons and evil
resorts.

BROTHERS RIVALS For You've GIRL.
Two brothers, both Of them married and
seeking to elope with pretty Mary b.
Baulone, Is years old, Monday, resulted
in the arrest and punishment Of both in
the Maxwell street Police Court in Chi
capo Yesterday. II was an odd state OF
affairs which presented itself when JUS
tice Dooley took up the case. Pasquale
Sanandro stood before the court and con-
fessed that he had proposed that his own
stepdaughter elope with him. AT his
side stood his brother Joseph. He, too,
is married, having wife and three child
rem in Italy. Both brothers admitted
that they had been rivals for the hand
and affections of the girl, and each said
he had proposed that she elope with him.
The brothers realized that they were
rivals in love, but kept on good terms.
Each was determined to win the hand of
the Young woman and each did his best
to force his attentions on her. Affairs
became so disagreeable, however, that
the girl finally went to. Justice Dooley
and begged for protection, with the result
that warrants we're issued for the arrest
Of her stepfather and his brother. Each
of the defendants was fined $50 and costs.

Columbia Fire Company

The meeting of the Columbia Fire
Company last night was well attended.
Considerable routine business was trans
acted. An invitation was received by
the company from the Maryland State
Firemen's Association to be present at
the celebration in Frederick on June 9,
10, and II, and it was accepted by a
unanimous vote. The fire adjoining the
company's house last Monday night was
the main theme of discussion. The
members are convinced that the fire was
the work of an incendiary, and they are
making every effort to establish that
fact. The Fire Wardens have turned
over to the company the remains of the
reel which was partially burned, and it
will be rebuilt and taken to Frederick
when the company visits that place in
June. About fifty uniformed men will
60, accompanied by band of music.

Saloon Entered.

Mr.. James Kelly's saloon, on Duke
street near the Stone Bridge, was entered
by thieves last night. The entrance
was effected through an east window,
the glass of which was smashed. The
thieves evidently entered for the purpose
of robbing the slot machine, but were
unable to get at the money that was in
it. They broke the glass in front of the
machine and otherwise defaced the
device. The thieves then secured what
they supposed was quart bottle OF
whisky, but which was colored water.
Nothing else was missing. Officer Allen
was notified of the burglary and he is
endeavoring to identify the parties.
Two men were seen to leave the premises
at eleven o'clock last night-about an
hour and half after the saloon had been
closed.

The Washington Ferry.

The announcement in yesterday !
Gazette that officials of the Washington
Steamboat Company had gone to Nor
folk for the purpose of negotiating for
the purchase of another steamer for that
line was read with satisfaction, not only
by the travelling public but by mer-
chants and others. Many people from
the back country make trips to Wash
ington in their wagons, carrying pro-
duce thereto. In unpropitious weather
they make the trip between this city
and Washington via the ferry boats,
and returning by the same route pur-
chase supplies in this city. 1t is hoped
by all that the steamer the officials are
examining will prove satisfactory and
that q purchase will be effected.

Poor Facilities.

To the Editor of the Ale San lra Gazette
Apropos of the article ofthe Sd instant
concerning transportation facilities be-
tween this city and Washington, permit
me to say that you do not speak as
strongly as | might have done, and yet
you do well for the interests of this city
to call the attention of the parties inter
ested to the miserable and inadequate
accommodations to which the commutirs
and general travelling public of Alexan-
dria and vicinity are subjected on the
transportation lines running out of this
city. 1t is very plain to me that, I'M
less something is done in the matter,
and that very soon, there will be an
exodus from this city of those whose
business takes them to the capital city,
for the mutterings are loud and deep
and the condemnation most severe of the
present facilities. | should think that
the real estate dealers of this vicinity,
who certainly ought to possess some
weight and influence in this community,
would have taken this matter up long
ere this, for it is most absurd for them
to spend money in advertising and
booming their property so long as the
present intOlerable conditions exist. In
conclusion, will frankly state that for
various reasons | would much rather
reside here than in Washington, but
that doesn't prevent me from telling the
truth to those who ask my advice re-
garding a home here, and that advice is,
stay away from Alexandria if you value
your peace of mind and your religion.

Alexandria Free Kindergarten.

At a meeting Of the board of managers
held Tuesday night, committee was
appointed to arrange for an entertain
ment at the Opera House the latter part
of April. The kindergarten has come to
be recognized as an important step in
education as it takes the child at ten
der age and by easy and pleasant meth
DDS imparts ideas Of morality and pre-
pares the young mind for its first year in
school, thus greatly aiding the primary
teacher in her work. In nearly all cities
these kindergartens are maintained at
the public expense but in Alexandria
the work has been done entirely by pri-
vate subscription. The entertainment
will doubtless receive the hearty support
and patronage it deserves.
