The speech of Lord Salisbury at the lord mayor's banquet, on Monday even- ing, has a double interest. First, as being the first explicit and formal an- nouncement by the British government of its foreign policy; and, second, as 4ulliningan arrangement reached with the United States on the Venezuela question, the details of which are pre- sented in our news dispatches this morning In the latter affair we have e\ery reason to congratulate ourselves. No episode in Mr. Cleveland's admin- istration in connection with foreign af- fairs will reflect such luster upon it, and such credit upon his advisers, as their treatment of this, the most for- midable issue that has arisen for many a year. That portion^ the press which places commercial success above na- tional Ifonor was loud in condemnation of Mr. Cleveland's interference and the insistence of our government that Great Britain should not be allowed to ab- sorb without protest an American state. The "peace at any price" people declar- ed that the administration, for political reasons, was about to plunge this coun- try into all the horrors of a foreign war. What it did, instead of that, was to establish the rule and right of this country to protect an American republic against aggression for all time to come. The original enunciation of the Monroe doctrine and the applications that have been made of it since its origin are trifles compared with this latest signal illustration of our potency among the nations, wherever national interests on the American continent are involved. Lord Salisbury's announcement is supplemented by the news from Washington. The dispute as to the extent to which arbitration shall be applied is settled finally and settled in our favor. It has long been agreed by both governments that the question i of boundary should be submitted to arbitral----. The sticking point between them was what should be done in the case of that territory occupied by Brit- ish colonists within the disputed ground. Great Britian insisted that she could not submit the rights of her sub- jects to arbitration, and we insisted that all disputes must be arbitrated or none. The compromise that has been reached is a compromise in name only. It consists in the application of what is called in American law the statute of limitations. The principle i governing occupation within the United States is to rule in the Venezuelan dis- pute. Where settlers have been ln actual possession and occupancy of the soil for fifty years they are to be left secure. Where they have not thus acquired a title, they are to submit their claims to arbitration. Thus we have scored a double triumph; for we have received recognition of our ripht to interfere in a dispute to which we are not directly a party, and we j have settled it on the basis of the ex- tension of our system of law to the larger field. We have, furthermore, won a moral victory in that the English press, at first bellicose and blustering, as it al- ways is, now not only admits the sub- stantial justice of the method of settle- j ment arrived at, but the propriety and j necessity of our original intervention. Mr. Cleveland, Mr. Olney and Mr. Bay- ard will have a high place ln history for the firmness and diplomatic ability ! with which they have concluded these ] Important negotiations. It seems to us that the English peo- ! pU» can scarcely be proud of the attl- i tude of their prime minister in respect j to the other topic that divided with 1 the Venezuela question his attention j at the lord mayor's banquet. One has to go back a great way in English his- tory to find an English government declaring its absolute dependence upon ' the other nations Of Eumne. All that Lord Salisbury has to say of the Turk- ] ish question and the Armenian outrages la a sad reflection upon the. British name. He bases his position upon the assumed incompetence of Great Britain to do anything in this field alone. He . states openly that, if England were to | move, Turkish outrages would be ln- i creased and Great Britain would be I powerless to prevent or avenge them. What a change it is from the few short years, when another English ministry, ! by its single word, upset the proposed ; rearrangement of Europe, snatched J from Russia the reward of years of ! toil and plotting, and laid the founda- j tiens, in the treaty of Berlin, for the ! very state of affairs that now exists throughout the dominions of the Turk. According to Lord Salisbury, England has not influence enough in Europe to acquire one ally for the rectification of j Armenian abuses, and not power | enough to move, except as one member j of a combination. This is a pitiful con- I fession for the first man In a great ! empire to make. THE IMI'IDEXT ROBBERS. Of all the trusts that have been spawned in Republican paternalism we doubt if there is a more impudent and arrogant one than the vire nail trust. Corporations have no souls, and this one is without bow Ms of mercy. The misery of the panic year 'ailed to touch it. In fact it was while industry was staggering under that blow that j it was formed. It pursued the usual j method of cajoling, oribing or code- j ing factories into agreement with it. | As soon as formed in sufficient strength j it began to exploit the convalescing in- i dustries by raising the price of its i product. Within a few months it in- creased the price of wire nails 228 per cent. While it was selling nails to the home trade at about $2.80, it was i exporting them at $1.40. A suit, pending in Indiana before ! Judge Baker, of the federal court, il- lustrates the high-handed methods em- ployed by this trust in establishing j its mastery- of the market. It and tta members were sued by a manu- j facturer of wire nails in Cincinnati, j who alleged that he had a contract j with the makers of a wire nail ma- I chine for forty-two machines, but that j the trust, by the use of threats and j money, induced the maker to refuse to j fill the order, thereby preventing the j complainant from carrying out his con- tracts or continuing his business. InI this way, the complaint avers, the ! trust has forced others into its com- bine and "freezes out" those who re- fuse to join it. One has to ask him- self if this is really a republic and if men in it are free, as he reads with this of the astounding audacity of the trust which comes into court and ad- mits that the allegations of the com- plaint are true, but pleads that the | court has no jurisdiction to try and decide the cause. Whether the plea j was to the jurisdiction of the court | over the person or the subject matter is immaterial. The fact that such trade conditions exist is the vital mat- ter. During the campaign Eastern papers published letters from Western busi- j ness men explaining the political con- ditions in their localities and why there was such an apparent strength of the silver movement there. One of these said that the farmers were loud j in their complaints of the nail trust i that had raised prices 200 per cent, and j added that it was precisely these ' trusts that were breeding anarchists. But a short time before his untimely | death William E. Russell warned an I audience of manufacturers that they I were "sowing the wind and were sure i to reap the whirlwind." Even I protectionists boast of the ab- I solute freedom of trade that exists ' within the boundaries of the Union, j but when such conditions exist as this j suit reveals and others have shown, i how hollow is such a boast. It is reassuring to read the emphatic language with which Judge Baker overruled the plea. "The trust de- scribed," he said, "is an unlawful combination and conspiracy to raise the price of goods and interfere with the manufacture of wire nails, and is in direct violation of an act of con- gress, of good morals and the public I weal." One of the reflections that robs j the victory of sound money of some of its satisfaction Is the thought of the probable restoration of the policy that spawned the trusts. EIGHTEEN STATES. The New York Evening Post, in summing up the verdict rendered by ' the American people on Nov. 3 presents one aspect of it which, judged by press and individual comment the country over, is destined to produce a deep and lasting effect. This is the ut- ter impossibility of any party, under any name or on any platform, ever carrying this country for free I silver. Reducing the matter to its simplest terms, it amounts to this. There are 447 electoral votes, j It requires 224 to elect. There pre 238 votes, or fourteen more than the re- quired number, assigned to eighteen I states. These eighteen include the six j New England states, the four middle j states, Maryland from the South, and Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michiga n, Minnesota and lowa in the ! middle West and Northwest. Of course, j there are others which it would be I fair to put into the list, because they have been found there this year. But the Post speaks only of those states which cannot be considered doubtful j at any time in the future when the j money question is the issue. On that Ithe list of states above mentioned is as I solid as the everlasting hills. Now, the point which the Post par- ticularly considers is the weight of ! ' these states in the nation from the point of material progress and general intelligence. It shows that these eighteen states contain 56 per cent j of the population of the United States; I more than 64 per cent of the wealth j of the nation; a very small comparative I portion of the illiterates of the coun- try, and almost all the large cities. I Thus it is proved conclusively where the j bulk of the educated, property-holding. | wage-earning, liberty-loving people of j this country have taken their stand. ' It is not of great Interest in the pres- ent campaign except as it bears upon ! the political development of the future. We were told by employes of the mm- | Ing syndicate and by a few persons! who would rather see the Democratic j party destroyed for all time to come j than to relinquish the temporary prom- | inence which they achieved and used i so unworthily for a few short months, that free silver is to be the slogan for all time to come. Well, Is it now? Laying aside the arguments that have been worn threadbare in the last few* months, take only the practical side of the question. As we have said once before, men will not continue to play a losing game in politics forever. You cannot get up enthusiasm enough to run a campaign or even keep an organization together unless the indi- vidual members believe that there is some chance for them to win. Now, what possible combination of circum- stances can hold out any hope of suc- cess to a free silver party in this coun- try hereafter? It is all right to talk about how small a change in the pop- ular vote would have changed the re- sult, but what are the prospects of it? Look at this solid block of eighteen states that nothing can ever reverse on the silver question, that have rolled up ! majorities for sound money against j which it is as useless to buck as it would be to propose an ordinance of secession to popular vote, and see into j what a cul-de-sac the free silver lead- era would conduct their followers. Sup- pose that they could in some future campaign carry Kentucky and both the Dakotas; suppose that they could hold all the Rocky Mountain states, together with Kansas and Ne- braska; suppose that they could win back West Virginia; suppose that they j could make a clean sweep of the Pa- , cific coast; if they could make all these j gains over this year, in which no ef- j fort has been left neglected, in which \ we believe they have polled a far I greater vote than they ever will again, j what would then be their situation? They would not be one step further ; advanced toward the presidency. Still i there would stand in the way this solid j block of eighteen states, with electoral j votes enough to elect a president and ! fourteen to spare, which no persua- i sion and no argument could change ! from their unalterable conviction. At each trial their majority against any form of fiat money will grow greater, j rather than less. To talk about per- | petuating the free silver issue In our politics in the face of such a perpetual veto on it as exists here is to talk non- i sense. It is upon this fact that we rely I for the subsidence of the silver ques- j tion. The men who have been most active in carrying it forward this year are not the speculative theorists, but I practical men of politics have thought ! that there was "something in it." Not ' more conclusively did the result of j the rebellion demonstrate the impossi- ; bility of secession than the result of ' this election has demonstrated the im- possibility of any free silver party con- trolling this republic. As the people come to understand that more thor- oughly, they will give their attention to the upbuilding of parties on new and different issues, and decline further traffic with one that has been so im- mutably settled. A GREAT PEOPLE. After every such contest as that through which we have just passed one is filled with wonder and admira- tion of the Am7>rlcan people. The mar- vel of the ready acquiescence cf a de- feated minority numbering .-nillions of voters in the will of & majority will never grow old. it is the most i tu- pendous fact in our political system. It is the mightiest influence at work mold- ing human character in the rough. It is a perpetual lesson in self-restraint. It is a teacher of those high morals that sum up the rights of others. It is a spectacle unlike any >ther in the whole world. We have l»ut to p.iss in review the bitterness of this cam- paign and the intensity of the feeling which it evoked, and -ontr i_t them with the absolute unanimity with which results are accepted, to feel in- tensest pride in our people and our in- stitutions. For weeks rival political organizations have fought a battle which each knew was to the death. It was more than a mere contest for the spoils of office. Policies and princi- ples of far-reaching consequence were arrayed against one another. What- ever leaders may have believed, a vast host of honest voters were honestly convinced that the future of this re- public lay in the balance. On each side men thought that prosperity and justice and humanity and liberty it- self had been put up as the stake to be governed by the casting of this die. And on each side it happened, as it usually does in contests so fierce, that there was some weak fool to taik about non-acceptance of the result, and to threaten that his side would seat Its candidates by whatever means might be found necessary. Now, a week has passed, and the first issues of the press all over this coun- try, commenting upon the result, have poured Into newspaper offices. It is with pride in the great profession of i journalism that we read the loyal and patriotic words spoken ever this ver- dict by those to whom it comes as a j disappointment of hope and the knell of party ambition. There are no ex- ceptions to this rule. The disappointed are not disloyal. There are, as it is right there should be, words of con- gratulation and comfort for those who | made a wonderful and vigorous, though I losing flght. There was, as it la natural that there should be, some j fears expressed as to the policies that the victorious party may inaugurate and carry out. But the prevailing tenor and the dominating note of the public political utterance since last Tuesday morning has been that of a quick, unquestioning, loyal submission to the will of the majority. It is the voice of the people, say they all. When that voice is fully and freely ex- pressed, he who hesitates for one sec- ond to obey it is a traitor and should die the death. This is a form of patriotism which we cannot prize too highly. It Is the antidote of factional strife and class hatred, the foremost foes of free insti- tutions. As long as such a spirit pre- THE SAINT PAUL GLOBff: #gfi_s£sDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1898. vails, the republic is safe. We do not find In our great" cities or mighty rail- road eystems or-, enormous productive capacity, or any tether of the evidences of wealth, su_fh proof of national greatness as in the cordial acceptance by the tremendous army of the de- feated of the will of the majority as their law for tj*e flbture. Nor is it the nation alone t^t tains, but every in- dividual who has Earned the lesson of submission to defeat, of deferring his dearest hope, because people be- lieve that the general good demands it, builds thereby firm foundations for character, is a better citizen and a better man. AT THE THEATERS. There will be two performances of "The Man in the Iron Mask" at the Metropolitan opera house today the matinee will be played at popular prices, and the engagement of this company will close with the performance to- night. Tomorrow night "The Gay Parisians," the famous comedy, will begin an engagement at the Metropolitan. This comedy ran for 209 nights at Hoyt's Theater, New York, and the production in this city will, It is said, be the same in every particular as it was in the New York run, except the change in the cast by which Miss Sadie Martinot replaces Amy Busby, who played the part of the gjiddy wife in the New York production. The famous character actor, W. J. Ferguson, is at the head of the organization. • * • McKee Rankin ln "New York as It Is" will be seen at the Grand in a popular-priced matinee this afternoon. Next week Gus Heege will appear in "A Yenuine Yentleman." WHAT ELECTION MEANS. The victory made at the polls Tuesday was a glorious one, and demonstrates the estab- lished fact that the majority of the people want sound money. It is also a rebuke to those who disregarded the advice of the old and talented leaders of the Democratic party at Chicago and placed such an unwise plat- form before people of intelligence for the ap- probation.—Worthington Advance. • * • The election is over and has resulted in a victory for the Republican party. The de- cision is so decisive as to leave no doubt as to the wishes of the people upon the issues involved, and the minority must and will accept the derision as conclusive and join with the majority in hearty co-operation to the end that the best interests of the country may be preserved.— independent Press. • * • The election of McKinley means that the American people are not yet ready to repudiate their national honor and make fifty cents' worth of silver into $1; It means, also, that they are firm believers in the principles of protection and the Republican party.—Red- wood Gazette. • \u2666 » The people know McKinley, and they also know that the best man has been chosen as the chief executive of the greatest and most progressive nation on the face of the earth.— Moorhead Independent. • » * general results of the elction last Tuesday is very gratifying. The victory achieved by the Republicans and sound money Democrats in the -election of McKinley is de- cisive and overwhelming, and the latter are entitled to their full share of praise for help- ing to bring about this grand victory. — Carver County News. • ** Though the cause of bimetallism has gone down in defeat, there is no necessity for dis- couragement, but rather for a stronger de- temination to keep the issue alive until the gold standard has been abolished. The Mc- Kinleyites have promised great prosperity; they will be held to their promise. Let them give us prosperity; we will rejoice with them. But we do not believe that the gold standard means prosperity. It has not meant it so far. We believe that it is the duty of every silver man not only to remain true, but to prepare for 1900 at once.— Little Falls Herald. • ** It was the agitation of the old states rights doctrine that was wiped out by the blood of the braves and best of our sons over thirty years ago. This time the people buried the heresy so deep in a deluge of ballots that the monster will never dare show his head again. And, then, again, when it was proposed to debase our currency by the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, it Invited the con- sideration of a condition that would inevit- ably bring panic and ruin to our people. The war is over and now we may reasonably ex- pect to see good times in the near future. — Renville Star Farmer. . SEE THE WHEELS GO ROUND. Hard times are not over by any means, and those who think that the result of this election augurs a sure triumph for the Re- publican party in the many years to come will find that theey are badly left. There- are many threatening dangers to be encoun- tered in the no distant future, and the party which happens to be in power when they occur will be held responsible for them j whether guilty or not guilty. We will, for the present, watch the turn for the better- watch the wheels of prosperity go round. — Kittson County Enterprise. • « * We look for a ' speedy return of apparent prosperity. Whoever was elected president, j there was bound to be a reaction after elec- i tion. The tremendous- latent energies of our j people, idle so long, must soon have sprung ' into activity. Bu. we _o not believe that re- turning prosperity under the gold standard ! will be an enduring and real prosperity. | That $1,&!7.000,000 r of (Jebt and $600,000,000 of ! gold are figures jb&t prlecton headlines can- i not blot out. We are, 'still at the mercy of ! the money changers. But let us see what ' Willllam McKinley is going to do about it. : Having fought for his country, we know he j loves his country? Let us hope he will use j his power as president to the end that the I rights of labor do; not 'suffer at the hands of j capital. — Hutehinstm Leader. '• * •• Now let us forget the past and pull' to- ] gether for the upbuilding of our community. Let U3 now march' in the same industrial par- ade and wear the same badge. — St. Peter Herald. • * » McKinley Is elected, and the country will now prosper as it never prospered before, according to our Republican brethren. We are all anxious for prosperity, and the ed- itor of this paper has alreday hung his stock- ing on the outer wall, and will be glad if he finds a nice bundle of prosperity in it some fine winter morning. — Brainerd Jour- nal.

The Loyal Legion gathered, around a sumptuous table in the ordinary of the Ryan hotel last evening and dipped deeply into the fount of convivialty and j fellowship. There were over 200 veterans | there, each of them a General This, ;a Major That, a Captain This, or a i Colonel That, while around the fringe : of that titled galaxy of warriors, a few l favored guests were permitted to im- j bibe that which was offered, to eat, Idrink or hear. A number of companions present were | from Minneapolis. Among the guests j of honor for the evening were Capt. E. S. Dudley, U. S. A.; J. H. Allen, "tt alter Driscoll, Capt. J. J. McCardy, H. L.

Prior to the social session a j business meeting was held, but no busi- : ness of public interest was transacted. It was announced that Feb. 12, a meet- ing of the Legion would be held at the i West hotel, Minneapolis, to commemo- j rate the birth of Abraham Lincoln. Capt. H. A. Castle delighted the Leg- I ion with his paper upon the "Boys in | Blue Grown Gray." The address was | an hour in length, and it was notable I for its abandonment of battle statistics | and detail. It was a glowing eulogy of j the old soldier, but the speaker manag- j ed to weave some original humor and j simile. The captain has a way of ele- I vating his hearers upon the pinnacle j of his eloquence, causing them to hang j in anxious suspense for a final burst of | syntax, and then dropping them with j a dull and sickening thud at a wholly ; irrelevant but fetching simile. For in- j stance, after eulogizing the glory of j personal self-sacrifice in the defense of j one's country, the captain closed the pyrotechnic flight of imagination by j saying: "And so companions, honesty and honor is always the best policy, when there is not too much at stake." The captain started off with a refer- ence to the late campaign. He said- . It is generally admitted that we have just narrowly escaped (if we have escaped!) a vast hemispherical catastrophe.

The alleged campaign of lungs lar- ceny and lunacy is ended. The wind-weaver* and phrase-coiners are dumb, and we have escaped (if we have escaped) from the desper- ate situation of one whose incurable disease has been attacked by an infallible remedy. Herr Most, with a string of trans-Atlantic gutturals foaming from his lips, and Herr Altgeld, brandishing his gold-clause lease before our blinking eyes, entered into the very sinew and substanqe of our recurring Inightmares. We scorned them, and our scorn bites, usually. But this time it fell harm- less, as one of Chauncey Depew's quadren'al four-track, block-system presidential booms. The nightmare raved and ravaged, even as a wildcat in the mountains, until the ballots came down like an avalanche and smothered it—ballots called "snow flakes" in the old chestnut, but now each six inches wide thir- ty-two inches long and many-hued, that way- farers need not err. We accept the result with a smile that is childlike and grand. The country' is safe— again. In fact, we begin to suspect that the nightmare was. after all the fond, familiar flea-bite of antiquity. The country is safe again— safe as a fire risk on crude asbestos stored in a vacant lot. And now the resonance of Wyoming's new, be- witching anl lady-like, female electoral vote, splits fame's blazon trumpet into hair pins! carrying the assurance that henceforth presi- dents are liable to be nominated by Intuition and elect 5d by instinct. The country is safe again. The men who helped to save it once before and are still willing to admit the fact, have rather enjoyed witnessing the excitement attendant upon the operation. We have inst been told, in a magazine article, by the philosophic son of a rebel sire, that the rebellion was put down principally by its own pestiferous, irredeem- able Confederate currency. Three weeks ago we would have swallowed this revelation with- out a qualm. Now we have leisure to turn it over and cross-examine it We also have leisure, and, I trust, a disposition to recur to some features of that old. old story of dar- ing and devotion and sacrifice, ln the days when the country was saved once before — in the days of the deeds that shaped up a country worth fighting for. worth saving, wor- thy to be saved again ia these gallant, golden days of 1896. As lending a variety to that old, old story, making it, perhaps, not quite so old. and bringing it. so to some- what up to date, I will tonight talk a little about the adventurer and achievements of | the Union soldier since the war, under the title of "Tbe Boys in Blue Grown Gray." Capt. Castle then followed with a semi-humorous address upon the career of the soldier since the war. He opened as follows: "There were no giants in those days which tried men's souls, and stored their bodies with unpensioDable ailments. Giants, mostly apochryphal. fought battles single handed, in periods of antiquity now remote and malo- dorous. The last samples perished some cen- turies ago, painfully regretted. Their spears were rust, their clubs were dust, their souls are with the saints (we trust) long prior to 1861. "The men who put down the slave holder's rebellion were mostly boys. It is estimated that the soldiers of the Union averaged only nineteen years of age when the roar of the first gun broke upon Fort Sumter's walls and echoed down the aisles of time, besides shat- tering a large Invoice of miscellaneous crock- ery. No such burden ever fell upon the youth of any era. No such Imperial manhood was ever developed ln a single generation. Greece moulded countless heroes of her own, and has thrust her hand into every mass of mortal clay that has been fashioned into beauty, or power, or glory, since the days of the demi- gods. "But Greece can boast of no more perfect heroism than that which made our golden age illustrious, conspicuous, lurid as a trolley car in a thunder storm, for all ensuing years." The captain continued in the same strain for an hour, and evoked the heartiest laughter and applause. Short addresses were also made by Benja- min Appleton and one or two others. After the speaking the members of the organiza- tion clustered around the piano and sang, "1 Am a Loyal, Loyal, Loyal, Loyal Leglonler," until they were weary in the l^rnyx. NOTHING BIT TALK. Yesterday's Union Depot Loop Con- ference Waa Fruitless. The second conference between the joint council committee, the representa- tives of the Commercial club and chamber of commerce, and the street railway companies regarding the pro- posed union depot belt line, took place yesterday afternoon at the office of Gen. J. W. Bishop. 'There were present As- semblymen Kirke and Thompson and Aldermen Shepard and Kenny, Vice President Goodrich and General Super- intendent Heild, of the street railway company, and Gen. Bishop, Herrman Scheffer, Charles H. Waterous, Charles Schuneman, R. A. Kirk and Luther Cushing. The proposition of the street railway ccmpany submitted at the first confer- ence, offering to operate the Grand avenue cars from Robert and Fifth streets, southerly on Robert to Third street, down Third to Sibley, up Sibley to Fifth, on Fifth to Robert, thence to Seventh, and up Seventh to Wabasha, was discussed. Other propositions were also suggested by different ones, but nothing final was decided upon. Vive President Goodrich's proposition relative to operating the Grand avenue cars around the proposed loop and issu- ing transfers to all other lines, was met with the objection that the Grand avenue cars did not run often enough to afford adequate service. Mr. Good- rich said that the company would run enough cars to amply accommodate the public. Mr. Schuneman suggested that a better route for the proposed loop would be from Sibley and Fifth streets westerly on Fifth stree _ ciear back to Wabasha street and thence on Wabasha street to Seventn and out Seventh. This Avould accommo- c*ate the retailers and the hotels on Wabasha street from Fourth to Sev- enth streets. Another route suggested was as fol- lows: Beginning at Wabasha and Seventh streets and following the same streets as in the other cases, that is, Wabasha, Fifth, Robert and Third, as far as Sibley street, to Seventh street, c r.d ..thence westerly on Seventh street Io Wabasha and thence out Seventh. This proposition met with the most favor, as it outlined a route crossing cli the street railway lines and em- braced all the retail district. C. H. Waterous then submitted a proposition which contemplated the same route as the foregoing, but dif- fered radically from the offer made by the street railway company, in that Mr. Waterous suggested that only in- dependent cars be operated over tho loop and be run in opposite directions lor instance, people arriving at the union depot would take one of these tprs at Sibley and Third streets. Th.? car would cany them up Sibley to Seventh street, and thence up Seventh J-treet to Wabasha thence on Wabasha to fifth. If they boarded the car going in the opposite direction, the route would be from Sibley and Third up Tnird street to Robert, along Robert to Fifth, up Fifth to Wabasha and on Wabasha to Seventh. If their destina- tion was Seventh and Wabasha streets a car going in either direction would be equally convenient in point of time. If the destination of the passenger -•hould happen to be the corner of Fifth and Wabasha or any intermedi • ate point, then the car ninning up Tnird street would answer. The prop, osition provided of course for the issu- ing of transfers from the independent cars to all lines. Mr. Goodrich saw difficulties in the way of Mr. Waterous' suggestion. He said it would involve the construction of additional switch tracks at Seventh and Wabasha which would cost In the neighborhood of $5,000. While the discussion as to the ad- vantages and disadvantages of the various propositions was in progress Assemblyman Thompson, who had been engaged at the city hall, arrived. Mr. Thompson diverted the discussion into another channel. Solicitous for the Broadway loop, he wanted to know what its fate would be, if a union depot belt line or loop were constructed. Wouldn't it kill the Broadway loop ordinance? Mr. Thompson addressed this question to Vice President Good- rich. Mr. Goodrich said that the union depot question had nothing to do with the Broadway loop. "But, in case this Union depot scheme goes through, you don't ex- pect to extend the loop to Broadway, -io you?" persisted Mr. Thompson. "I fail to see that this has anything to do with the other question," replied Mr. Goodrich. Then Aid. Kenny, who also wants the Broadway loop before and above any- thing else, tried to induce Mr. Good- rich to commit himself, but Mr. Good- rich returned the same answer. Aid. Shepard and Assemblyman Kirke assured Messrs. Thompson and Kenny, that the agitation for a union depot belt line was solely in behalf of the retail district, the hotels and the people having occasion to go to and frcm the union depot, and was in no way connected with, nor conditioned upon a Broadway loop or no Broadway loop. The Broadway loop was not un- der consideration and cut no figure in the present discussion. Gen. Bishop said that that was also his understanding of the matter. Mr. Thompson declared that there was a different understanding on the part of some of the assemblymen, who had announced that they would not vote for the Broadway loop, if they could get the union depot belt line. Gen. Bishop replied that if that was the case the assembly-had better dis- pose of the Broadway loop first, and then take up the belt line. The discussion closed at this point, and an adjournment was taken until 2 p. m., Tuesday, when the conference ! will be resumed in the council cham- j ber. Just before adjournment, for the sake of obtaining an expression of opinion, I a vote was taken on the proposition to 1 operate a loop extending from Seventh j and Wabasha, to Fifth, thence to Robert street, thence to Third, thence to Sibley, up Sibley to Seventh, and I thence on Seventh to Wabasha. Four of all those present favored the pro- position and three opposed it. Others did not indicate their views. UNION LABEL LEAGUE Proposes to Promote Its Work by Petitions. Last evening's meeting of the Union j Label League was attended by about j forty delegates representing half that j number of unions. The meeting was : presided over by Temporary Chairman O'Toole. After deciding to make the organization permanent, a constitu- tion and by-laws, reported by the com- mittee appointed at the first meeting, were adopted. The second and fourth Tuesdays of every month were decided upon as regular meeting dates. Pro- vision was made for revenue by the payment of monthly dues by the af- filiated unions. Officers were elected j as follows: President, Frank Hoffman, j Trades and Labor assembly; vice presi- dent, C. F. Miller, bookbinders' union; secretary- treasurer, W. J. Francois, Typographla No. 13; sergeant-at arms, John O'Toole, Trades and Labor assembly; executive board, Kate Keat- ing, garment workers; James Morrow, retail clerks; Robert Jarden, Typo- graphical No. 30; Charles Lick, back and cab men. The executive board was instructed to prepare petitions which will be used to initiate the work. They will be circulated among the members of organized labor, and theii friends will be approached in a similar manner with another petition, by at- taching their signature to which they will pledge themselves to handle union made and label bearing products, thereby securing the patronage of the consumers whose names appear on the first mentioned petition. Michael Raphael, business agent of the New York cigarmakers' unions, ad- fi^ff d the leaßrue briefl y on the results similar movements in the Bast had at- dVm^i+J 1 fte r„ whi eh he spoke of the difficulty existing between the organi- ?h!i^ 8 A core o re £{? Bented and Krebs - e-- -2 80 -. l "^' Cigar manufacturers of New York city. He explained that tha report that a settlement had been arrived at was incorrect, and the old conditions still existed. He urge! the necessity for a strong demand for union label cigars, in order that the evils of child and tenement house labor in his city might be overcome A i committee consisting of Frank Hoff- , man, Martin Igo, Frank Jellneck, F. j VViosky and T. A. Harvey was ap- pointed to assist Mr. Raphael in this city. Delegate Morrow called attention to certain retail establishments that insist on remaining open evenings, and urged those present to use their influence with those they represent to patronise only those merchants who are suffi- ciently broad-minded to observe the advantages of early closing. \u25a0____\u25a0* SOCIETY'S NEEDS. The Public Advised of What Io Re- quired. *u Th f s*! Pai)l Relief society has issued the following to the public: The usual demand for aid will be made again this winter upon the St. Paul Society for the Relief of the Poor; not as grrat per- haps as the winter before last, but far great- er than usual. We shall need the willing and generous as- sistance of all charitable cittern, and espe- cially the support of the city pastors and churches in the furtherance of our great and growing work of relief of needy and worthy poor. We therefore respectfully re- quest that the Thanksgiving service collec- tions In all the churches be again given to tnis society. Will you so arrange that after the service the proceeds be sent to the treas- urer, Mr D. R. Noyes, Sixth and Siblev streets, or handed to some officer of the so- ciety. To the principals, teachers and scholars of the public schools the following has been issued: In presenting our annual greeting we re- member with gratitude the generous dona- tions sent to this office in past years for our poor, and we would again respectfully re- quest, as we did last year, that in making your Thanksgiving offering, instead of bring- ing in bread you send flour in quarter and half sacks, and all the clothing, shoes,, etc., it is possible to. not forgetting that apples, potatoes, hams, jtllies, canned fruit, etc., etc. j are always acceptable. We would suggest j that the packages of tea, coffee, sugar, rice, oatmeal, prunes, etc., be well tied and labeled as last year. On account of the present necessities of our poor we need your aid again. We have mada arrangements to store in our cellar all that may be brought to us, and we would again suggest that every sehojl provide among their pupils conveyances and a sufficient number of boys (and girls if you choose) to accom- pany the wagons to the Relief society, as we find this arrangement has given enlarged ideas to the boys who have superintended the work, and ha-s been to them, as to us ,a source of great satisfaction. Will you please so arrange that the turku-ys and whatever else may accompany them for Thanksgiving dinners be delivered at this office at least two days before Thanksgiving, as it will give us a chance to sort and de- liver them to needy and worthy poor. If there are any helpful suggestions which I can offer you, I should be pleased to have you call upon me. Kindly send me a list, at once, of the poor in your district, indicat- ing any you prefer helping direct from the school. By so doing you will greatly oblige. LADIES' WHIST TOURNEY.
