The waukee was 11,731 out of a total of $8,611. The party claims 15,000 votes in Minnesota, 2000 of them being cast in Minneapolis and 1,600 in St. Paul. It is also claimed that the socialistic vote in California will be more than double that of 1900, The strong hold that the party is gaining in labor politics appears in the fact that the socialist element came within 430 voles in a total poll of about 9,000 votes of controlling the convention of the American Federation of Labor at New Orleans. There is some ground for the conservative opinion that socialism as a political party is destined to be the beneficiary of the current agitation in labor circles.

The Argonaut lias received, for review, from Malli. Mohammad Sadig, of Quadian, Gundaspur, India, a pamphlet by Mirza. Ghulam Ahmad, of the same address, who, we glean, holds the position of Chlef of Quadian. . The brochure is printed in English-very good. English, too-and is entitled, "An Answer to Dr. . Dowie's Prediction of a General Destruction of All. Muhammadans. " This work, mixed in, on the reviewer's desk, with commonplaces by Bangs, historical novels by. Indiana school-ma'ams, and dry-looking ventures in economics by pale, aspiring, young professors, strikes one as a weird and wildly strange anachronism. And that vivid impression is confirmed by persual of its page. . For Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, according to his own modest admission, has been faised by Almighty God in these latter days to redeem the world. . About a hundred thousand persons," says Mirza, "have already been converted by me from the ways of evil. God has shown more than one hundred and filty heavenly sigus and wonders at my hands to which publication was given before their occurrence. I ans the very Messiah, the promised one. " Like a good Mussulman, our Indian friend casts reflections on the divinity of the author of Christlanity, “That reilgion,” he says, “is one that aan not make it stand for a moment against the strong currant of reason. " More than tile, indeed, for he devotes two pages to showing, conclusively, that the Christ did not dia upon the cross; that He was resuscitated by Joseph of 'Arimathea; that He then "thought it advisable to bid adieu, to his native land and travel castward," spending his remaining days peacefully in the Valley of Cashmere. And to clinch his argument, the Messianic'Ahmad of Quadian presents to the reader's astonished gaze's half-tone illustration of an imposing structure, with the legend, · modern praying contest, however, differs in some respects from that ancient one between the priests of. Baul and Prophet Elijah. For the invocation is not to be for fire from heaven, but (they are Ahmad's italica) "that the prayer of God shall be that of us too whoever is the liar may perish first"! Surely 'tis a proposition, fair and most bold; and the further specifications are equally reasonable. Ahmad's idea is that Elijah Dowle (if he assents) shall publish the prayer for Ahmad's. Blfare with the signatures of at least one thousand men affixed to it, whereupon lie, Ahmad, will do likewise. This militant prophet of Islam further points out that the chances all favor his opponent, since. Dowie is ten years younger than himself. The only restriction he imposes in that death shall not occur through human hands ( crafty and suspicious provision, that), but shall be the result of "a disease, a stroke of lightning, or snake-bile. " 'Tis a consummation devoutly to be wished that John. Alexander assent to this proposition from Mitza. Ghulam, Amid dry discussions of the tariff, scraps over Alaskan boundaries, difficulties with an Isthmian canal, or what not, a praying contest between the. Elijah of Cook County, with his petition in English, signed by Joneses, Johnsons, Smilles, and Drowns, and the Chief of Quadian, with his document in Arabic signed by Hindbads, Sindbads, and Ali Babas, will be altogether refreshing. In fact, with Doukobos crusaders rampant in Canada, with dusky Virgin Marys persistently being discovered in the Philippines, with. Friar John making it hot for the Russian Government, with Katherine Tingleys and Mother Eddyą, a. Mormon renaissance in Uie United States Senatejand an Anglo-Arable praying match, the winter of 190-3 will take on a fine, glamorous, mediaeval aspect. . Well, it's up to you, "Lige. . UNION AND. THE MICITIA. . William Potter was, mutil lately, member of the. SENAXACTADY. Painters' Union, of Schenectady, N. Y. . He had served in the Spanish war when volunteers were called for, and when his regiment was ordered to Glens Falls to preserve order in a railway strike, recently, he was in the ranks. For this the union expelled him, the president: of the trades assembly of Schenectady explaining that "he had been warned to leave the National Guard, and had chosen to go to the front, and must take the consequences. " At the same me, he added that "there will be other expulsions until not a guardanian [e} mains who is a member of a union. " The right of,. William Potter to work and to serve in the National. Guard is the subject of an investigation ordered by. Governor Odell. The question whether the action of i the union is treasonable is a mooted one, but it is
