TO ALL SHIPPERS UPON RED RIVER.

The Committee appointed by the
Board Of Directors of the Red River
Planters and Merchants Transporta-
ton Company having visited New
Orleans and communicated with 9th
er cities as requested, have made
their Report and submitted the pro
position made the Directors of the
Red River line, which was the best
made to Them, and which has been
accepted. Your Directory recognize
ing the fact that the Red River Line
has greater facilities for doing your
business, in The way of boats, bsrges,
and we'll trained officers, than auy
other. The Com mite desire 10 say
that they we're met in spirit OF
fairness by this Line; although they
would not consent to take your bust
ness at the Card Rates of 1880, 40 a

In conclusion, your committee left
no stone unturned to get the lowest

wish to accept Of them; in other
words, we have accomplished for the
whole people the great reduction iu

which a few individuals preferred
doing for themselves only, for it is
probable that no lower rates can be
offered to any one this season.
1t would have been a very uDcer

have bought and equipped a line Of

The Mass Meeting.

The anti-monopolists held a meeting
at East Turner hall last Saturday even
ing, the attendance being fair. J. R.
Buchanan, delegate to the Chicago con-
ference, addressed the meeting briefly,
reviewing the objects of the movement,
and pledging himself to an honest and
faithful fulfllment of his duties as rep
resentative of the people of Colorado.
Mr.. E. P. Pitkin followed in an able
and eloquent address of about thirty
minutes length. The speaker reviewed
the course of the old parties for the last
twenty years, and eloquently pleaded
with his hearers to shake off the old
barnacles and stand up with the party
of the people, the party which alone
would do them Justice and inaugurate
the much-needed reforms in the admin
istration of our public affairs. A large
portion of the address was given to sta
tisties, and the figures and matters of
record adduced by the gentleman were
strong arguments, and as such appreci-
ated by the audience +agg ID :.
The following resolution was offered
by Mr.. ]. D. Bailey, and unanimously
carried:
Resolved, That we, the anti-monopo-
lists of Colorado, are in favor of the free

KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
The Preamble and Declaration Of
Principles Of this Great
Order.

The alarming development and aggression
OF aggregated wealth, which, unless checked
will inevitably lead TO the pauperizaiion and
hopeless degradation of the toiling masses,
renders it imperative, ii we desire to enjoy
the blessings of life, that check should be
placed upon its power and upon unjust accu.
mutation, and system adopted which will
secure to the lsborer the fruits of his toll
aud as this much desired object can only be
accomplished by the thorough uni6cation of
those who labor, and the united efforts of
those who earn their bread by the sweat OF
their brow I'VE have formed the order of the
Knights of Labor, with a view of securing
the organization and direction, by co.opera.
tive effort, of the power of the industrial
classes and we submit to the world the
objects sought to be accomplished by our
organization, calling upon all who believe in
securing the greatest good to the greatest
number" to aid and assist us. ..~ .
/. To bring within the fold of organization
every department of productive industry,
making knowledge stand point for action,
and industrial, moral worth, not wealth, the
true standard Of individual and national
greatness.
2. 10 secure to the toilers q proper share
OF the wealth that they create more of the
leisure that rightfu]ly belongs to them more
society advantages; more of the benefits,
privileges and emoluments of the world; in
Q word, oil those rights and privileges neces-
ary to make them capable Of enjoying, ap.
preciating, defending and perpetuating the
blessings Of good government ,,,,t = I.,;..

ANTI I-M0NOPOLISTS.
The State Convention Selects Four
Delegates and Adopts Code
Of Principles.

Pursuant to the call of the state pro-
visional committee, the state convention
met in West Denver Turner hall Satur-
day, June %.
AT, 2:30p p. m. the convention was called
to order by the chairman of the pro-
yisional committee. The usual prelimi-
nary business was dispensed with, and
]. r. Buchanan was chosen permanent
chairman. Ed P. Pitkin was elected
permanent secretary.
After the permanent organization was
perfected Mr. Pitkin presented the re-
port of the committee on platform and
declaration of principles which was
SLIGHTLY amended, and finally adopted as
follows:
WHEREAS, The signs of the times all
point to q settled purpose on the part of
the present holders Of capital to over
throw the government "of the people, by
the people and for the people," and to
establishlin its stead q government of the
many by the few, a monarchy, either linn
tied or absolute, with q STRONG man, !" so
called, at its head, surrounded by an
aristocracy Of fwealth, with special rights
and privileges, and the reduction OF the
working classes to state little better
than slavery, such as is the condition OF
the corresponding classes in the old
countries Of Europe; and
Whereas, To prevent this ever being
accomplished; to preserve this republi'
can government from such destruction

solidity, and to protect it from all secret or

SATURDAY, April 2sth.
Augustus 81. Corson W. Maine Central r.
4. Co. Heath for plf., Baker, vose for
defts. The plf., who sues for $4,000 for
personal injuries, was freight brakeman on
deft's road. and on the evening of Sept 20,
1881. while engaged in Stacking locomotive
No. 36 to freight train, was as he claims,
severely and permanently injured by being
damned between the tender and q car. He
claims to recover. first, on the ground that the
defendants negligentlv and carelessly pro-
vided for the place Of rear brakeman, . man
incompetent for the position, and known to
them to be such, and that this brakeman. BY an
improper release of the rear brakes. allowed
the train to run upon the plf. thereby caus-
ing the injury complained of. He also claims
to recover on the ground that the defendants
negiiRently and carelessly provided unsuitable
and unsafe Stacking apparatus. At noon
the jury under the charge Of an officer, took
q view of the engine and tender in question.
The defendants claim that the Stacking ap-
paratus was safe and proper, that the brakes
Ia the rear were not released, but that it was
the slack Of the train running onto the
plaintiff and his own carelessness that caused
the accident.
