1t seems to be impossible for the con-
tending parties to the meat packing
house strike to settle their differences.
1t looks like there might be a gen.
era strike of all the allied unions in
the western cities. This would be a
terrible calamity. 1t would aus much
suffering all over the country. The per-
sons who would be caused the greatest
inconvience IND loss would be the con-
sumers who are in no way responsible
for the unfortunate condition of affairs.
AS a rule public sentiment is with the
strikers because there is almost al
ways a general feeling that working
men will not voluntarily abandon their
work unless they have a real grievance;
in this case as in the great coal
strike of last e the general public,
and especially that part Of it which
can least afford an advance in the pri-
ces of necessaries are the ones who will
suffer the most and have the greatest
interest in an early settlement of the
strike. They cannot be expected to be
great sym%pathizers with either the
strikers or the plant owners while they
see the price of meat soaring skyward
as will surely be the case should the
strike continue much longer.

KEEP COOL.

In three days we are to hold a cis-
pensary election. The campaign has
been one of the most exciting we have
had in our city in years. 1t is natural
to suppose that for tomorrow n next
day and on Wednesday the excitement
will become more intense than it has
been at any time in the past. The Mes
senger hopes that the people will keep
their heads; that there will be no UNI
due excitement or rash action on the
part of anyone. Let every man make
that will rouse the anger of any one
on the opposing side. This question is
one that should be settled by the exer-
else of cool and deliberate Judgment
not in the heat Of passion. Every man
should vote according to the dictates
Of his own conscience, without bias.
without personal prejudice. On this
question, as on others that are brought
before the public, men differ. Where
there is honest difference Of opinion
men should not blame or find fault
with each other for their differences.
There are as honest, upright and moral
men on one side of this question as on
the other. 1t is not a fight between
morality and immortality. 1t is purely
an economic question-as much so as
hat of the tariff or any other politico-
economic issue. 1t is largely a ques-
ton of revenue. Under the law regulat-
ing the sale Of spirits in ase he city
goes for the dispensary it will be more
of a question of revenue than anything
else. No one claims that the dispen-
sary will stop the sale of liquors. In
fact, if the d~ispensary Is voted in il
will be to the financial interest Of the
city that the sales should be large. The
larger they are the greater will be the
revenue Of the city and the more sue
cessful will be the ~dispensary expert
ment from the standpoint of those who
claim that as a financial measure it i:
preferable to the saloons.

Russia seems determined to force
some of the powers of Europe to take
