VINO Is RESPONSIBLE I'm equity as
well as morals, it is a debatable ques-
ton, who is the responsible party-he
who twits and provokes an attack, or
he who executes the injury.
In the exercise and under the intlu-
ence OF human passion,it is very difficult
to determine in all cases the ones of
guilt.
The relationship between capital and
labor like that OF brains and muscle,
seems so intimate and dependent, as to
be inseparable 1t is true to separate
them does dwarf either, but we think it
is demonstrate that labor can live with
out capital, as well as muscle without
brains, when you reduce them to nor
NAL state.
What is it that capital can produce
without the aid Of labor, or can you
have capital (money) without labor to
produce it? Now the creator is certain
Iy greater than the creature. The ge-
MUS of brains may invent and direct the
movement, but you must have muscle
to create the motion!
Some may pride themselves upon
their great brain power, and claim
distinction in mentality, overlooking the
combination that made ii great. We
are under the opinion that there is Vi
tai muf"nl dependence of brain upon
muscle, as well as capital upon labor,
that it would be well for the arrogant
to respect.

LOOK AFTER Your CoNGREssMEN =
Year after year has Congress made
grants Of millions of acres of the peo-
pies land to build up vast and arrogant
railroad monopolies, This has been
done under the plea that it develops
and enriches the country. This spe-
cious pleading is done to divert the
mind of the people from the real result,
which is the enriching the few at the
expense of the many. Give these lands
TO the laboring mass and you will soon
have blooming land contributing to
the support OF the government by being
tax payers and larger consumers, but
also by being larger producers and there
by contributing to cheaper the support
of the millions.
The next aim will be to increase the
army Every soldier is estimated to
cost $1,000 per annum. Give this to
the poor and You will not need all army
to keep them in subjugation. Which
is the most humane. to pay TO shoot
them or to pay 10 feed them? Better
than either, give them little homes to
work. The individual has more claim
than corporations.

COMMUNICATED.

WHAT'S AT THE BoTToM ?-TENDENCY
TO GENERALIZATION close observ-
er of events cannot fail 10 detect, in
the occurrences of the times, tendency
to the Capitalization Of the monetary
and political power.
So long as the States were left free in
the exercise of their political power
there was nothing like strikes, except
where a collision occurred between cap
ital and labor. The late strikes and
the rapid appeal for federal interference
might create the suspicion that there
was deep design at the bottom. The
evident waning in the public estimation
of the necessity under republican gov.
eminent of large standing army had
so plainly manifested itself that it had
become evident the people were to be
relieved of this incubus of power in the
hands of bad or designing rulers.
The B. g. o. r. r., who rushed to
the aid of federal power to crush out
Southern slavery, was quick TO seek its
aid to subjugate the white laborer.
Combinations are forming which look
threatening to free government.
WHY APPEAL TO FEDERAL PRoTEc-
TON ?-The citizen who conducts him
self in proper manner, by treating his
neighbors with respect, and their rights
with due regard, has nothing to appre-
bend; he is sure of their sympathy and
assistance in times of trouble and their
protection against assaults. Upon the
other hand, if he is arrogant and defiant,
destroying his neighbor in person and
property, he soon torfeits all their re-
spect and sympathy, and in case of mis-
fortune or assault, is left to sadly realize
the fruits Of his bad conduct So with
the B. & o. r. R.; by its bad treatment
of the citizens of Maryland, the Valley
of Virginia and West Virginia, along
the route through which it passes, in its
discriminating charges on their freights
and travel, and destruction of property,
it has forfeited all claim upon their sym
pathy or protecting aid.
Had the mass-s of the people along
the line of the road felt that their friend
had been attacked, they would have
swept the strikers like chatf before the
wind-there would have been no neces-
sity for calling for federal protection.

count Of Hobart Pashs running the
blockade at Galatz, in his steamer, Ret
taima The Admiral left Rustschuck at
night and approached Galatz, which was
guarded by torpedoes and heavy bat
teries, commanding the river lights. On
the steamer were extingushed several
rockets from the Roumanian shore. The
steamer was discovered coming abreast
the batteries. Heavy guns began to fire,
but the Rettaima was SO close to the
shore that the gunners were unable to
press their guns sufficiently for the shots
to take effect. The Admiral fred only
one shot, and the Rettaima passed into
the Black Sea safely.

would give them food aud take care Of
them, and after getting them in his
power be slaughtered them in cold

John D. Lee that if be would surrender
to him full confession concerning the
massacre at Mountain Meadows that he
(Howard) Twas q man Of his word and
would take care of him (Lee), and after
securing Lees confession he took
especial care to see him executed. John
D. Lee obeyed the orders of his master,

Did Attorney Howard obey the same

The growth OF taxation in New York
presents an interesting study. In 1880
the levy was only So per head OF popu-
lation; in 1850 it had risen to S. per
head. and in 1876 it was 800 per head.
exclusive of the interest on the debt. In
1886 the rate of taxation was 35-100 of
per cent; in 1850 it was l.l3 per cent.
in 1860 the valuation of property had
been doubled and yet the rate was 81 60
in 1870 it was 2.l7 per cent; in 1877 i.
is 2.67.

Beaver, Rachel told me that he expected
to be at his old home on the Colorado,
making his garden inside of three weeks !;
and l believed from what Howard had
said to me, and from Lees compliance
with Towards requests that Lee never
would be executed, but that he would be
first reprieved and then pardoned.
I was astonished at his execution. I
make this statement from the fact that I
consider Lees death An outrageous
breach of faith and promise to a man
about going to his execution, and to
show that acted in good faith in obey
ing the orders'of my superiors.

Howard, Of Utah, employed him to see
John D. Lee and obtain a confession

msnt appears very plausible and, if true,
of which there is hardly doubt, places
Attorney Howard in a very bad position
