that this was the ground Upon which the
act of 1882 wss held to be invalid. But
with great respect for the opinion of the
maj ,rity. l must be permitted to say
that this is very misleading. We never
had in this State prohibitory liquor
law. The act of 1882 permitted the
sale Of liquors for medicinal and me-
chanical purposes, and that act was pro-

persons who failed to comply With it's

Standard OIL Gas Monopoly.

The Standard oil company is not sat-
isfed with the Illuminating oil monopoly
of the world, but it has turned now to
the gas companies, and one by one they
are being bought up or controlled by
this mighty octopus,
Within few months past controlling
interest in the Manhattan gas company,
which supplies the city of New York
with artificial light, has been bought up
by the Standard syndicate, and more re-
Gently the Brooklyn gas company, has
passed into the hands of the same. Thus
a private manufacturing company, Gre
ated by the laws of this state, controls
the light Of the largest center OF popula-
ton, wealth and industry on the CONT
nent. Not, however, content, 1t IS now
negotiating and arranging for the owner
ship and control Of the gas works Of
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Boston, Wash
ington City, Pittsburg, Chicago and st..
Louis. 1t has already bought the Nash
vile, Tenn, works, and we venture the
opinion that, unless the aw-making
power interposes, it will within five years
own every considerable gas company in
this country. 1t owns and will utilize a
new process for the manufacture of gas,
made BY decomposing steam and uniting
it with petroleum oil, under intense heat,
thereby producing hydrogen gas for illu-
minating and heating purposes.
The secret of its manufacture has been
known to few chemists for a short
time, and is recognized as one of the
great triHmphs of science. The Stand
ard oil company quickly perceived the
untold profits that could be realized
from this discovery, and with their
wealth, and already having control OF
the petroleum industry, they seized the
opportunity to buy up the gas compa-
nies of the country and compel the peo-
pie to pay them whatever price may be
fixed for the gas to be manufactured and
supplied by them to the consumer. 1t

Senator John A. Logan, as one OF
senate committee, recently had an inter
view with Sitting Bull, the Indian chief.
Now Sitting Bull was hero among his
people; he fought for them, defending
them against invasion and destruction,
and defeating their enemies with great
loss. He was forced, in time, to surren-
der, and is now really a prisoner of war.
Brought before the senate committee,
great chiefs as he supposed, he showed
his courage, according to Indian custom,
by telling them what he thonght of
them, defying them to their teeth. Had
they ordered him to be shot or tortured
to death, he would have died defying
and taunting them. But, alas for poor
Sitting Bull, the great chiefs were only
political warriors, and Black Jack Logan
threatened to have him "tied," and
tainted him with his fallen fortunes.
Was there no oId-fashiond "Injun-fighter"
there who could have taught those sena-
tors little true politeness? Was there
no one soldier enough to treat con-
quered savage, once dreaded foe, with
the respect which his fame and captivity
and the customs of his race demanded ?
1t seems not. A friend suggests that if
the two had been alone, armed and
mounted, on the open prairie, Black
Jack would not have been 80 quick to
threaten and talk back.-Hayes Valley
Advertiser.

Thus another yoke of the monopolist
will be fastened ON your necks. and
while it is taking from you and your
household yearly tribute for artificial
light, you will be contributing to make
the Standard stockholders each the equal
in riches to the Vanderbilts and Goulds.
Thus, step by step, noislessly and un-
perceived by the people, this mighty
octupus is fastening its tentacles in their
vitals. Will you consent to contribute
your earnings to make the monopolists
richer? IF you buy their products you
add that much to their gain. Refuse to
purchase their products, and thus by
your acts you protest against them and
their iniquities.--Cleveland Messenger

Colorado and adjoining states anc terri

The anthracite coal supply is controll-
ed by syndicate of highway robbers,
who plunder both their employees and
the public. AS population increases and
presses against subsistence, no one can
predict the prices these cormorants will
charge for the coal we must have. Here
is monopoly that calls loudly for re-
dress. The miners are paid 40 cents a
ton for mining this coal, and we are
charged from $3.50 to 81 ton for it. A
class Of money-lords have grownup out
of this monopoly whose INSCRIPTIONS
conduct is menace 10 our government.
The people, thank God, can yet vote,
They outnumber these thieves 100 to l.
With intelligent organization they can
down every monopoly in the land. They
must do it or be slaves, and they must do
it without any help from the subsidized
press or the political bosses-Exchange.

Charley Kee, Celestial who has Angli-

cation for the position Of deputy sheriff,
and his petition is indorsed by States
Attorney Mills. The occupation of office
holding has hitherto been supposed TO
be safe from the incursiOns of the Mon
gol hordes, and that may be given as the
reason why the politicians have taken
so little interest in the discussion Of the
question. But if John" begins to en-
croach upon that field of labor he will,
in very truth, have to "go."-Western

LcndyiIIe TRiIors, Strike.

There have been rumors and counter
rumors from Leadville during the tailors'
strike in that place. One report has
been positive denial that there was any
strike at all This idea is wholly ex-
pfoded by the following letter and tele-
gram, which must certainly be accepted
as a correct statement of the situation:
Thomas Hamlin, Secretary, Denver.
LEADvILLE, CoLo., Sept. 1--we deem
it our duty to inform you in detail Of the
the trouble we have on hand. Mr.,
Crachan has left the shop and is working
at home, which is disapproved of by the
shop rules. He was requested to come
inO the shop and work, but refused.
The trouble grew until the shop notified
COnoVan that unless he came inside to
work they would 90 out on strike on
Monday. Immediately, Hogan tele-
graphed for five coat makers. We also
informed you by telegram of the matter
We desire you to use your best efforts
to dissuade all tailors from responding
to the call for men, as We feel assured
the object of the movement is to reduce
the bill of prices. Please inform all the
shops Yours fraternally,
THE Committee.
The following is the telegram which
has been received:
Thomas Hamlin, Secretary.
LEADyILLE Sept. l7,-Society reorgan-
lied. Stop tailors from coming. Wea
on strike until further notice
COMMITTEE,
The language of the telegram is en-
couraging, and if tailors in this and other
cities do their duty, the Leadville broth
ers stand good show for victory.

While the money lords and their allies
the subsidized press, and the political
bosses, are ready to impugn the motives
of real political economists, we notice
theynever attempt to answer their reason
ing They fondly imagine that the appli-
cation of such epithets as "blatherskites," "
communists" "agitator," &c, will de-
stroy them. Well, this is in keeping
with the central idea of monopolists, that
workingmen have no brain, that real
arguments would be wasted on them, and
that nonsensical epithets will attract
their attention, and have the most intiu-
ence with them-Toledo News.
