At the Gas House.

There was talk the first of this week of
trouble at the works of the Denver Gas COM
pany, and to get at the truth in the case, a
reporter for The ENQUIRER interviewed the
parties best calculated to know the truth, and
found the following to be the facts in the
case:
In the first place the men emphatically de-
ny that they struck; they asked for another
man on the shift, and were told that they
could quit. There are two shifts on the fires,
a day and night shift. Each shift has to
work twelve hours every day, including Sun
day. OF course there is more gas consumed
in winter than in summer, and consequently
more labor required. A few days since all
the benches were started up, but the force
was not increased proportiOnately. Last
Sunday morning the men talked the matter
over and one of their number, Mr.. Frank
Koeher, explained to the foreman, Mr..
McElvaney, the necessity of increasing the
force. He told him they could quit then and
there, and on Monday morning they did so.
The night force brought the matter to the
notice Of Superintendent Fay, who saw the
Justice of the mems request and allowed
them the extra man. There is force of
green men employed in the places of the
men who were discharged, seven only being
able to do the work formerly performed by
five men.
Lack of space forbids at this late hour, a
full report of the matter, but enough is told
to show how unjustly honest workingmen
were treated by that man, McElvaney, be-
cause they had manhood and humanity
enough to cry out when they we're being
overworked. A time of reckoning will come
for all these matters sooner or later.

The men employed in the Ma1leable
Iron Works, Ottawa, Canada, have found
themselves compelled to strike in orddr
to prevent their wages being reduced.
Iron works of all kinds are highly pro-
tected now in Canada. Why is an at
tempt made to reduce the wages Of the
men? One of the men stated that when
they were asked to vote for the new
Parliament it was promised that they
should have an increase of fifty cents a
day. Instead of receiving this increase
they are now compelled to strike in
order to prevent reduction of from
twelve and half to twenty-five cents a
nay. The prosperity which was promised
should now be at its height-were those
promises well founded. In this case we
must wish success to the workingmen,
whose demands seem to be exceedingly
moderate.-Albany Union.

Thirty years ago Wendell Phillips was
the John the Baptist of republicanism.
Then his voice was raised proclaining
its coming in the wilderness. He otfici-
ated at the nativity Of the party. He
rocked its cradle, determined diet and
prescribed for Its ailments. He cher
ished his bantling with paternal pride.
To- day he writes of it as follows: II dis
trust and despise the republicans as
hypOcrites and time servers, as double
dealers, as soulless carrion masquerading
IN the grave clothes of their honorable
men. Let them choose fitting leader
from among the Tewksbury marshes,
those peddlers of poor mems bones"
We are curious to know what has caused
this change in the greatest living founder
of republicanism. Who has changed,
the patriarch or the party? If we will
only take the pains to investigate the
matter, we will find that nearly every
patri lot and philanthropist that assisted
to organize the republican party has left
it with loathing and disgust The neces-
sity of reforming the evils that had crept
into the government gave rise to the re-
publican party long lease of power
has developed it into a calamity that
the people must shake or lose their lib
erty.-1ndustria Appeal.

We talk Of ours becoming a govern
ment of, by and for corporations, instead
of one by, Of and for the people. What
do we mean by this, but government
abdicating its sovereign powers to cor
porations. Its power to issue paper
money abdicated to banking system.
Its power over transportation, except the
mail, abdicated to railway corporations.
The telegraph system handed over to
band of freebooters, and the military
power, while maintained at the expense
of the people, used as a posse-comitatus
to compel labor to submit to the DEGREES
of such potentates as government creates
when handing its sovereign powers over
to corporations. While government of,
by and for the people promotes justice
and the general welfare, government
of, by and for corporations defeats justice,
promotes greed and nobs industry. This
is its mission, and it fulfills its mission to
the letter.-Chicago Express.

An Albany, New York correspondent,
speaking of the rolling mills of that city,
says: The Bessemer works are running
in fine shape, and it is now stated that
these mills will not shut down unless
compelled so to do by break of the ma
chinery. At the ALL any Iron Works the
Belgian train, fourteen inch and twelve

ADJUSTMENTS.
An Unprecedented Week Of the Melo.
drama Nat Goodwin's Company
Next Week.

Brooks & Dickson, during the past two
seasons, have earned reputation for
producing the melodrama and spectacu-
lar in a manner never before equalled
by management. Their attractions,
which have succeeded each other, have
been presented in manner and style
which has won for them the title, "Kings
of Managers" AS each new piece has
been presented by them to Denver au-
dience it has been voted superior to all
predecessors. And the universal verdict
has certainly been correct with reference
to their last production in this city,
"Romany Rye" which has been pro-
duced at the Tabor Grand during this
week, is unquestionably the superior of
all former productions in its line, and
the crowded houses it has drawn are
proof of the excellence of the play. The
story of "Romany Rye" as given in last
weeks issue of THE ENQUIRER, is smooth
reading and full of exciting interest.
The company presenting it is of the very
best people of the melodrama school,
there being no particular stars, but all
ranking close together as delineators of
the life-like and thrilling characters and

by the company is the finest ever pro-
duced in this city, and there is little
question that it excels anything ever
shown on any stage before the introduce
ton of "Romany Rye" The arranging
and handling of the beautiful and real
istic settings requires the steady and
careful attention of score of machinsts
and stage hands, and the pictures pre-
sented to the audience at each rising of
the curtain evidences the work ofa mas
terhand. "Romany Rye" will be produced
for the last time this evening, and those
who have not seen it during the week
should not fail to avail themselves of this
last opportunity. Prices are as usual.
Next Monday evening the old favorite,
Nat Goodwin, opens for week with a
new list of plays anu an excellent com
panv, including his talented wife, Eliza
Weathersby. Mr.. Goodwin has world
wide reputation as a humorist and imi-
tator, and needs no special introduction
at this time. Those who love refined
humor, interspersed with music ofa high
order, should not fail to visit tho Grand

Trades Assembly.

The Trades Assembly met in regular
session last Sunday afternoon, the at.
tendance of delegates being fair.
Messrs. Elias Jauch and Fred Weider
presented credentials as delegates from
the Tailors' Protective society, and were
seated in the assembly.
The routine reports were not charac-
terlzed by any distinctive features, and
the only matter eliciting special interest
during the meeting was the report of the
special committee on the purchase or
erection of labor hall building. The
committee reported the scheme as thor
oughly practicable and one which would
meet the approval and receive the sup
port of the various trades and labor So
cieties of the city.
On recommendation of the committee
a committee of three was appointed to
investigate the matter in detail and pre-
senta full report of their inquiry and
calculations at the next regular meeting.
On motion the committeeman were al
lowed So per day each for the time em-
ploved in their labors. The committee
appointed by the president consists of
Messrs. C. L. Merritt, NJ. Ford and }. j.
Smith.
The reports of the officers show the
assembly in excellent condition, with a
growing treasury.

A squad of regular infantry,
In the Commune's closing days,
Had captured crowd of "rebels"
By the wall of Pere-la-Chaise.
There were desperate men, wild women,
And dark-eyed Amazon girls,
And one little boy, with a peach-brown cheek
And yellow clustering curs.
The captain seized the little waif,
And said, "What dost thou here?"
"Sapristi Citizen captain
I'm Socialist, my dear!'
Every WE'LL Then you die with the othersr

But first let me take to my mother,
Who lives by the wine shop there,
My fathers watch. You see 1t,
gay old thing, is it not?
1t would please the old lady to have it;
Then I'll come back and be shot"
THAT is the last we shall see Of him."
The grizzled captain grinned,
AS the little man skinned down the hill,
Like swallow down the wind.
For the Joy Of killing had lost its zest
In the glut of those awful days,
And Death ,writhed, gorged like a greedy
snake,
From the Arch to Pere-la-Chaise.
But before the last platoon had fired,
The child's shrill voice was heard:
"HOup-la! The old girl made such row

A button was lost from his ragged blouse,
Which showed his soft, white breast.

throughout the state to recommend for
passage at the next session of the Ohio
legislature, and insist upon its becoming

such employees or laborers to withdraw
from membership in any Trades Union

It is loaded with compressed air, and by
simple motion of the arm of the

New YORK, October 14.-At meeting
of the Central Labor Union, to-day, a
recommendation was received from ad-

an ovation that seemed to make the
heart of the old man glad.
After speaking here three-quarters Of
an hour, he rode to fremont Temple and
concluded his speech. The crowds in

AT the entrance to each boys and old
men were busily engaged in selling cop

also huge ballot called the "Tewksbury
skin ticket" This latter contained the
names of imaginary candidates for the
several state offices, being mostly former
officers at the almshouse and prominent
republicans who were connected with
the Tewksbury investigation. The bal
lot is copiously illustrated with skulls,
cross-bones and other things supposed
to be emblematical of Tewksbury and
the reign of the Marshes. 1t is printed
