st. Louis nicle:-"Western rail-
roads can afford to haul freight short
distances, pro rata for the miles trav-
eled, at the cheapest through rates now
existing if they will run their roads
economically and wipe out all watered
stock. On a legitimate business on
their actual cost the western railroads
can comply with every provision Of the
Reagan bill and still declare dividends.
The people should not be deceived by
the paid advocates of the discriminat-

THE HOOKING VALLEY THE BAT
TLEFIELD OF CAPITAL AND
LABOR.

COLUMBUS, o., Jan. 17.-Assistant
Adjutant General Dill says trouble in
the Hooking Valley is evidently brew
ing. but he cannot say where 1t will
strike first. The miners are securing
tirst-class arms from some source andthe
indications are that an outbreak is cer-
tain soon. He believes it may be de-
ferred short time, or until the legisla-
tive committee appointed to investigate
and report on the cause of the trouble,
when troops will be ordered to Hocking
Valley. The mining districts are re-
garded as the battlefield uf capital and
labor in the United States and tnat itsa
result will settle matters. Governor
Hoadley has decided on Dill's report
as to when troops shall be sent.

NEW QUININE.

Prof. Fischer, of .Hunich, is said to
have obtained from distilled coal a
white crystalline powder which, in its
action OH the system cannot be distin-
guished from quinine. Its efficacy in
reducing fever heat is thought to be re-
maikable, though one of our wholesale
druggists saws that the amount of the
drug "equired to produce this effect is
SO large as to preclude any rivalry be-
tween it and genuine guinine.

this season there are SO many ways OF

the pointed back and square front with

ings with or sympathy for the Chinese
Such associations as that of the Knights
of Labor, which is secret in its workings,
and whose commands to its members are
issued as ukases, are a danger, and they
have departed from the legitimate object
of being protective associations to those
of aggressive ones which assume the
powers of sovereignty; and il law or
relation does not suit them, they at once
proceed to trample it under foot, holding
the theory that as all law and AUTHORITY
in this country come from the people so
the people can override that law and au-
thoritv how and when they choose. They
forget that for them to so proceed is Tor
them to proceed lawlessly and to induce
anarchy; and if the laboring men as
electors have the right to exclude the
Chinese from the United States they must
do so through the law and not through
mobs. The safety OF all classes is in the
supremacy of the law and not the supre-
macy of the people as mob.

T'rotting i'm Two Minutes.

Professor William H. Brewer, OF Yale
College, has made the evolution of the
American trotting horse the subject OF
much careful research and study "Dur-
ing the past decade" he said to report
er yesterday, "the records have been
steadily lowered, and Mr.. Bonner is
authority for the statement that he
expects Maud S. will surpass her time OF
a day or two ago before the summer
closes. 1t is my firm opinion based on
many years of deep study OF the evolution
of the trotting horse, that before another
generation passes We shall hear of trotting
horses that can make mile under two
minutes. Horses are bred nowadays for
the single purpose Of bringing out their
trotting qualities, just as in England they
are bred solely with reference to running.
Now, if lot of thoroughbred horses are
bred within themselves, without admit
ting any mongrel blood, and if they are
trained solely for trotting, there is no
question that man can bring the record
down to two minutes and under. Mr..
Robert Bonner, who owns Maud s., ridi-
cules such an idea, and he may think
this an impossible result. l am aware,
as he says, that trotting is an acquired
gait for horse, and that running is his
natural gait. But still my theory holds,
and if the thoroughbred trotter is carried
through one generation after another, we
shall one day see horse which can trot
in two minutes "-Ne1c Hdren NeuS.

ATTACKING THE CHINESE.

The recent attack upon the Chinese at
Rock Springs by coal miners was both
unprovoked and unjustifable The China
men were simply minding their busi-
ness and performing their work, two
things very characteristic of Cinnamon,
so far as our observation goes. What
California's troubles with the Chinese
have been and are we do not pretend to
know, but in Utah no such trouble has
arisen. The Chinese have become so
unpopular on the Coast that it is almost
deemed a high merit to wrong China
man, and this spirit seems to have
spread to Wyoming. The problem of
labor and capital is one that has always
agitated civilized countries, and always
will. That the laboring man has his
rights is true, but his rights do not ex-
tend so far as to say who shall and who
shall not labor in America, and upon
what terms. If the laws of the United
States permit Chinaman to enter this
country, then that Chinaman is entitled
TO the protection of the laws, and he has
ii right to enter the market and COM
pete with the white man. LAYING
aside the question as to the policy Of per-
mitting the Chinese TO come to this coun-
try or of their exclusion from it, there is
no question rs to the policy of protecting
them when here. 1t is a duty owing to
the Chinaman and to the Government
No one pretends TO justify the attack on
the Cinnamon at Rock Springs, yet it is
doubtful if any of those engaged in mur-
dering them will be tried, not because lhe
Wyoming authorities will be lax, but be-
cause Cinnamon have no friends in the
West. There is another thing TO be con-
sidered in connection with this attack.
Only short time ago there was an anti
Chinese meeting held in Ogden, at which
General Heed spoke and denounced the
Chinese in unmeasured terms, and called
upon the people of Ogden to eXpel the
Chinese, although what business it is of
Heed's, who lives in Idaho, what the
citizens of Ogden do, is hard to explain
Following on the heels of this meeting,
advertisements were placed in some of
our local papers calling upon all knights
of Labor to boycott all who had any deal

4 London Editor and His Brother.

4 London Editor and His Brother.
While William Stead at the age OF
forty has risen to the editorship OF the
Pail Mall Gazette, his brother, who pos
sessessed equal ability, sleeps in name
less grave in the little town of Clayton,
Ala. It was in 1872 that Stead made his
appearance in Clayton. He was tramp,
but gave evidence of having seen better
days. Penniless and friendless, he
gladly accepted odd jobs, and soon went
to work as landscape gardner. To Pro
lessor Johnson, then teacher in Clay
ton, Stead confided the story of his life.
1t was the old tale of drink and the train
of evils following it. Rum had robbed
him of family, fortune and friends, and
made him a vagabond upon the face of
the earth. Again the demon seized him,
and this time death put an end to his
struggles and temptations. Professor
Johnson wrote to the great London editor
informing him OF his brothers. sad fate,
and in due time reply came acknOwl-
edging the relationship and giving the
history of brilliant but uncomfortable
man. The prosperous editor begged the
Professor to communicate anything OF g
pleasant nature he might know about the
outcast, but not to write any unpleasant
ltidings.-Atlantd Constitution.
