those instances where it appears q
successful strike would have brought
great good to both parties. 1t is not
too late, however, to stop the system.
1t ought to be done as early as practi-
cable, and the companies ought to do
it. All they have to do is to weigh
the coal correctly and pay the miner
for the exact amount on the car-no
more, no less. There would then be
no cut-throat work in market; every
company's coal would stand upon
its merits, and not upon the dement's
of the present system. There are
companies, we believe, not parties to
this evil, who ought to exert them
selves toward removing it. They are
in good position to effect necessary
movement in the interests Of right and
justice-of self-security and fair
awards to their laborers.

OUR CORRESPONDENCE.
Mount Savage Locals.

am very glad to see your CORES
pondents taking up the subject Of just
weight. We want more said and done
under that heading. Let our best men
take it in hand and expose the evil
fully-the sooner the better.
Your correspondent, "T. Nee" in
1uired last week, what is a ton {?
Well, now, it is really very hard t.
ay what ton is; the cars that used
to carry two tons two hundred light
are mostly done away with, and cars
about one foot or fifteen inches longer
cannot now carry two tons unless you
pile two feet of coal above the frame
Then you cannot swear you will gel,
your two tons until the car is weighed
Why is this? Is the coal getting
lighter, or is it done on the scales? ]
rather believe the latter; everybody
else will, too, I think, unless the bose:
can show differently, which will be
aard for them to do. But the bosses
do fix the weight to answer their pur-
| pose, and if the miners don't load t..
| suit them they must look we'll to theil
places; if they don't have to take theil
| tools out they are luckier than l wa:
last summer. l had to take my tools
out of mine not far from Frostburs
for not loading more than thirty min.
| hundred en- my car. Before the dri-
yer came after that car the boss was il.
nd told me to take out my tools. The
president Of the company was at tn.
.nouth of the mine, and l went to tall
With him. The satisfaction l got from
this honorable gentleman was he
would discharge every ID man il
the mine if they would not load more
"oal on the cars; they are getting more
coal on the hoppers down the creek
than We are getting here!"
at. Nee" says 1.-The bosses are moi
to blame, neither are the stockholders
it is middle party Of statesmen and
lobbers." Let Mr.. Nee" look at the
.bove and tell us what he thinks of it
1t is fact that can be proven by more
than one witness, if need be, that cars
loaded with thirty nine hundred
weight are foot longer than the cars
that used to carry two tons two humid
red weight. l was paid for only thir-
'y-nine hundred. But if man loads
wo tons fifteen hundred weight, o,
hree tons for two. he will be KEEP;
working.
have heard the same boss say that
any man who would go and ask the
lumpman to show the slate that h,
the miner) was locked, could tax,
ais tools out. Is such an outrage al
this to go on forever without anything
10 stop it ? If it is, it is too bad. A,
Mr.. "McC.' says, 1T is high time fol
he government to put a stop to sucl
injustice" Whatever the price fol
iigging is, give us fair weight.

All yesterday the gallant Hawk-Eye
horse-marines, protected by copies of all
the g~ubernaterial proclamations that have
been issued since the strike, were gallop-
ing and cavorting around the country, car
rying the Hawk-Eye to its thousand SUBJ
scribers. Each courier rode under the
s~trictest orders from headquarters, in case
of any assault being made on him by a
mob, to draw the proclamation of the gov
ernor Of Illinois, aim low, and fire direct
ly at the mob regardless of the devasta-
ton and bloodshed it might cause. Up
to this hour of writing only one collision
has occurred. The courier riding east was
stoppedinear Biggsvihe by an Oldham who
wanted to know the news without
paving for a paper. The courier halted,
drew himself up in a hollow square, and
then advanced, upon the old man in eche.
Ion formation, took deliberate aim at his
ear, end fred the presidents proclamation
at him; following the shot with a rafting
volley of governors proclamation. The
result was terrible and effective. The, old
man dispersed without any further resist.
ance, went off into the woods, and placing
his hands over his ears, laid down under
tree and died in fifteen minutes. Let this
be a dreadful warning to the Illinois ltrik.

and given to Brigham to SIND to his wife.
Months passed and no wife came. Again
money was sent, with like result, until the
husband had sent money four times through
the same source. Becoming, al last, very
much disguised he announced his intention
of going after his wife, still serving the
bishop until he thought he had funds enough.
Applying for his pay just after harvest he
was told TO go to the stubble field, where
almost every head of wheat had been care
fully collected, and to CLEAN his pay there"
He came to our city followed by spies, and
finally reached Ogden, and a friend there
concealed him, and with the aid of kind
hearted railroad men he found the way into
liberty again. / saw him trembling with
fear while hiding from his pursuers, and
again after he had passed beyond their
reach. How great was the change in his
+deportment ard looks. Years long past |
had often listened to the ~recitals of incidents
of the past lives Of fngitives from slavery in
the south, and had been captured by the
fugitive's simple story. With them it had
been a case of slavery for generations, and
they had rot known the sweets of freedom,
but here it was different.
This Swede, when a free man, had in
trusted all in the hands of the priesthood, in
pure simplicity and trust, and had been SC
wrongfully treated that he had almost lost
faith of their being a God. Our valleys, nc
doubt, contain thousands who are receiving
no better treatment, and yet most of our Wis
itors come here, look on the best side Of
Mormon society, and go away and proclaim
this a great, prosperous, happy, and fret
people. They know just as much of true
Mormon life as-if they had never visitee

Log Driving.

Cheboygan is not the only place suffer
ing for want Of water to drive logs. The
same cry comes from every portion OF
the state where numbering is carried on.
The Saginaw Republican says the latest
intelligence from the log drivers on the
Tittabawasse and tributaries is not as en-
couraging.as many wished and hoped.
The rivers are all low. and the jam eX-
tends from Midland almost continuously
to Dicks forks. In IFS low stage, the
driving is slow aud difficult, and the OPP
orators have been trying the experiment
of letting off all the dams to try and
move the logs down. but so far rs heard
from with Very Indifferent success. Above
Dicks forks there are % to 80 millions
on the roll ways yet unbroken. Reports
say there is also trouble OH the Chippewa
and Pine. large lots being hung up on
both rivers. We heard leading mill
man Yesterday estimate that there were
not less than 20 millions now hung up
these streams. The June rains may
bring out 90 per cent. of these though
even that calculation is a doubtful one.
The Boom Company are running the
stock i'm hand with unusual rapidity, and
making every effort TO get out every
thing within their limits TO accommodate
mills and dealers.
