MONTE AND MUSCLE.
A Gang Of Gamblers Conquered by a
Cattle Drover.
From the Dcnyer Trfbunc.l

from Tue DcnNer lflDpnc.I
An. old drover from the far-off plains
Of Texas. got upon the Kansas Pacific
train at Ellsworth with the intention
OF going to Kansas City. There also
got on board the train at the same sta
ton two cattle dealers. one Of them a
short, muscular little fellow, who
Eplays'the most prominent part In this
affair. A party Of three OF those pes
tIferous thieves known to all Western
acknowledgements gamblers-soon made
their presence known, and In q few
minutes pocketed the old droyer.'s last
500 note. Il was at this juncture that
the above. mentioned little cattle-man
interfered In the old drover's behalf,
when the monte men arrogantly told
him to mind his own business. The
young man resented the hint, word led
10 word aud words to blows. The cat
tle-droyer managed to put In a series
Of scientific sledge-hammer blows,
which soon sent the monte thief howl
ing and bleeding over the seats. The
other monte-men Joined In to take a
hand, when the other cattle-drover
met them, and In q short time pun
ished them fearfully. Finding them
| selves beaten they retreated at the
muzzle Of the cattls-men's r%evolyers to
tho sleeping car, and locked themselves
| up In the drawing room. drew their
reyolvers and knives and babe defiance
to further attack.
A council Of war was held In the
front car, when 1t vas agreed that tile
monte men should be permitted to
hold the sleeping cal until the train
| reached Saliva, where a Sherlffs posse
had been telegraphed for. But this
arrangement was not satisfactory to
the brave little drover. lie had re-
solved upon recovering the old mans
money, and appeared to treat with
contempt the knives ard pistols point
| ed at the windows of the drawing
room. After washing off the blood
from his face and hands, he walked
boldly into the sleeping car, where
the three gamblers, driven to bay,
stood watch Within the locked glass
door. With a huge navy revolver In
each hand, the young mar dashed
open the door Of the den, and pointing
his cooked revolver at the astonlshed
gamblers, coolly demanded the old
drover's lost money.
Finding that he was determined to
have it, and seeing the. passengers
closing in with cooked revolvcrs, the
gamblers gave up tho money. But
this did not satisfy the drovcr. lie
now demanded the surrender Of all
the knives aud pistols In their possess
sion. After some ~parleying the arms
were given up and the monte men
held under guard until the train rolled
into Salina, where 4 Slleria's posse
awaited them with bracelets and Il
guard Of honor. They were taken
from the train aud escorted to Jail.

A CORRESPONDENT Of the New York
Tribune has collected from the census
reports OF 1870 an exhibit Of the value
Of property In the Southern States.
The comparison with tho values OF
1850. as shown by the census OF that
year, makes a startling showing Of the
Impoverishment Of the South within
the past decade. There are few men
at the present day who will care to
dispose OF the whole question by de.
Gliding the impoverishment to DO a
just visitation upon the South for the
sins Of tho rebellion. Practical men
will rather stop to consider that the
burden Of this loss falls upon the en-
tire country, and inquire into the
cause Of 1t. 1t can not be traced to
the emancipation Of the slaves. There
Is only one other cause that can ac-
count for this wholesale %impoverish-
ment aud that Is to be found In the
abuses incident to reconstruction.
These abuses may be summed up under
two general heads: ~ The diversion
Of a large proportion Of the colorod
people from systematic industry, aud
(2l the vi~llainies of carpet-bag-lsm.
But the people Of the North can not
afford to have this process Of impover-
ishment continue. The difference of
S. 900. 900, 900 In property values at the
South, including the actual deprecla-
tlon and the stoppage of natural in
crease, means n withdrawal Of that
amount of tax-paying resources. This
withdrawal OF taxes, which the South
ern States might pay under favorable
circumstances, throws just that addi-
tional burden upon the t~ax-paying
property Of the North. In this view
OF the case, the support Of the carpet
bag government of the Southern States
falls proportionately upon every AK
payer In the Northern States.

THE TEACHERS PAY,

The special attention of tax-resisters is
called to the fact that the salaries of the
teachers of our public schools have not
been paid in full for year or more and
that there is at present more suffering
among that well-deserving class than there
is among the proverbial New York sewing
women, the Boston factory girls, or the
Lancashire operatives. And this does not
proceed from any fault in our social or
legal system, but from the constant viola
ton of duty by those who set themselves
up as leading citizens. Men who have
not the courage to see their names writ
ten in black list of those who will not
or can not pay their honest debts. are
we'll pleased to figure in the Picaynne as
the tax-resisters, though they are liable TO
the reproach of attempting to starve the
weak and helpless. 1t may be the part Of
a 'Ligh-toned man." according to the slip
shod ethics Of modern honesty. to present
a very bright gliding Of character through
the newspapers, and that of all oppressor
of poor women through the tax gatherer.
But we can not accept these self-be-
praised tax-resisters at their own estimate.
They are guilty of species of dishone sly
all the more fragrant because the poor VIC
tins whom it affects have no redress.
/. is believed by many of our people
that the tax-resisting movement is dis
guised attack upon our system Of free
public schools. Nearly every prominent
ta.-resister is well known adherent of
that following that has inculcated pub
lie ignorance as a public blessing down
through the ages. and looks with the ut
mos. impotence upon a schoolhouse. a
Bible. or an independent. immortal mind.
But fortunately for the great cause Of CIV
ilization. this bigotry dies out when trans
planted in true American soil. There is
something in the nature of the undoubted
American citizen. especially if he has the
rare good fortune to trace his lineage back
through revolutionary stock, that revolts
at the italian policy Of keeping the
people poor and ignorant. To those thus
favored we may appeal in behalf OF
the poor teachers against the tax-resist-
ers, whether they are such from mer-
cenary motives or at the behess
Of AZ ecclesiastical authority whose de-
crees. according to their tenets. are not
subject to review Oh this continent. We
as American citizens declare neither Of
the alleged reasons fer tax-resisting 10 be
satisfactory. They are not reaonci!able
with the obligations of the citizen to tie
State. The antagonism between any class
that seeks to nullify laws and the lave
making power is SO great that both can
no: exis: at the same time. Governor
Kellogg ha, recognized thi. fact. and as
he does not wish TO permit the business Of
the State to be suspended, LIZ Las given
motto. of az intent TO move at once On the
tax-rrssters. Let those who do not wish
to incus danger get. out Of the Wa! IA
fine.

questions of how to increase the facilities
by which capital may be accumulated,
while very little time or thought is given to
the question of how the laborer can by
lessened work time and increased means
achieve that education which shall elevate
him to truer manhood. Legislation that
tends to make men better or more valuable
is in favor of labor, while legislation in the
interest of production solely is not in favor
Of labor. Sc, too, any legislation giving
additional power to capital is against labor.
Capital being strong and having the neces-
sary knowledge and power, can take care
of itself, while labor is poor and ignorant.
and therefore powerless.
Governor Kellogg has referred TO one
wrong done the poor. 1t is remedy for
an alleged wrong, which the rich may en-
ploy and which the poor can not. Let
him make this the text Of his administra-
ton. Let the poor bless Providence for
having at least given them one champion,
who sees that the care Of the poor is the
strength of the State.

noise. This man, lawyer and poll
tician, thus preached the doctrine OF con-
fusion and practiced the rudest manners
known to those who have no law aud VINO
study no politics. "What, said he' sur
render to these Radicals, with the noble
example of jefferson, Randolph, Calhoun
and Henry before me, who never tres
passed on another's rights nor allowed
another to trespass upon theirs Ihey
stood ready 10 suffer nartyrdom in defense
of the rights OF mankind. and though l
may fall in my resistance to aggression l
shall fall with the martys."
Brown thought it was time for him TO
have some sort of hearing. and he an
swered that according to his information
and experience on the subject there was
no demand extant that required any cltl-
zen to submit to any sort of oppression or
to be put upon in any way. He did not
feel any foot of the oppressor on his own
neck or that of any of his relatives or rich
uncles, and that until the enemy was
pointed out to him he would consclentl"
ouslv refuse TO be miserable about an I'M
aginary evil. Just here lame woman
stumbled over Jones obstructive legs, and
Brown had 70 rub the fur down or he
would have said something harsh to the
passenger he had injured. Brown asked
Jones to specify who had trampled on him
and when the outrage was committed,
but the follower Of the great men did not
have his indictment ready and remained
silent and miserable. while he was posi-
tive nuisance in the car.
How many of the men who muiishly re.
fuse 70 surrender TO the government by
standing for their rights. if they were
fully tested by the rule of right, would be
found in the same situation as Jones, in.
truding upon the rights Of others while
noisily pretending TO be protecting their
own. The Democratic party is made up
on this principle. that it has been outraged
because other people have been advanced.
Jones respects no right in other men. or
he would have put his feet in their proper
place. his lips in theirs, and he would
have moderated his conversation SO as to
allow other passengers to enjoy bit of
the same blessing. The Democratic party
insists that its rights consist in the right
to abuse others. and in this respect it and
Jones are equally Objectionable as stage
companions. The passenger who is the
most agreeable as companion is that one
who says the least and does the most TO
accommodate all the world as he is accom-
modated himself.
