No. II, are to be congratulated up
on their new officials, who are

WORTHY OF EMULATION.

The latest move Of the Chicago

farmers in Illinois and other near

freeze ont mitldlcmcn is the decision
of the former to organize company
with $780, capital to erect or
lease ware houses and cold storage
plants. Shares will be sold at 80
each and plans are being made that
will ensure higher prices to farmers
for their products than rule com

are being taken in Detroit and q

AS TO LABOR IN POLITICS.


We are upon the eve Of the first

earners of our city i'll tho selection
of good, honest men to the various
Offices, who will govern the city in
the interest of the entire citizen
ship and not for the benefit of any
political party, ring or clique,
alone.
The trades unioniSt must no
longer have an ear of sympathy for
those politicians and professional
Office seekers who SO loudly decry
the entry of organized labor into
the field of practical politics, and
who assert that by so doing it will
be placing its vast powers in the
hands of INSCRIPTIONS leaders to
the detriment of the membership
at large and curtailment of in
dustrial conditions. Such con-
tentions are cheap claptrap, and
