Sun City Union: We notice that the
Kiowa and Lake City papers are kick
ing against the courthouse and Jail.
We are not surprised at the Prairie
Dogs kick, for it is an established fact
that 1t must belly-ache about some
thing or else it couldn't exist, but we
are at loss to understand why the
Herald and Journal, of Kiowa. protest
against matter of such Importance to
our county. Every intelligent person
recognizes the fact that our county
needs court house and jail, and that it
is the true way to economist, Don't
play dog in the manger in this affair,
hut lay aside your local jealousy and
work for the good of the county at
large. We favor the court house first,
last and all the time. Anything that
will benefit Medicine Lodge benefits
the county, and that which benefits the
county benefits sun CITY.

Another serious conflict between the
police and the mob occurred Tuesday
night at Chicago. Several thousand
anarchists assembled at Haymarket ON
Randolph street, n locality surrounded
by n bad element and low dives. 1t had
been announced that socialistic and in
flammatory speeches were to be made.
and accordingly the police were on hand
TO stop proceedings when threats of
damage to property and life would be
made. When the speeches were the
widest and the crowd were being stirred
up To madness, the police ordered them
TO dispense. At that time dozens of
bombs were thrown in the police ranks
and the officers fell dead ard wounded
on every side. Others responded by
shooting into the crowd, and as a result
nearly one hundred of the officers and
members of the mob were killed OF
wounded. The widest excitement pre-
walls and the. trouble is not over vet.
though Mayor Harrison feels confident
that the police will be able to take care
Of the city.

AT Winfield. last Monday night, five
prisoners confined il Jail made a break
for liberty, and four escaped and one
was shot dead by Henry Champaign. a
deputy sheriff. Deputy Tom Harrod
had opened the door to give the prison
ers water, when one of their number
grabbed him, while another struck him
with heavy bed Stat. Champlain was
near by and fired into the crowd, and
hit and killed W. Z. Bennett, a man
who had been convicted of haying coun-
terfeiting tools in his possession. The
other four engaged in the plot escaped,
after knocking Champlain down. They
were David Virgins, half brother of the
man killed; VIM. Matney, charged with
horse stealing; Chas. Swift, convicted

TIE GREAr .SrRIEr


The strike on the Missouri Pacific
railroad and its branches has been de-
clared off, and the men ordered to apply
for work in the same positions they oc-
cupied before the strike The men have
not gained single point in the long
struggle, and after losing two or three
months ofvaluable time. are Inundated
by being forced to apply to the company
against which their strike was directed.
We believe that a very large majority
OF the thinking people of the country
sympathized with the strikers at the
outset, and hoped that they would re-
ccive an advance of wages; but when
the men began TO destroy property, and
to forcibly prevent other men from
70. ;g,publ C 5In.;mentt;Irnedag against
them. The men and the railroad COM
pany have both shown a stubborn oppo-
sition to compromise; each side has
made use of every opportunity to preju-
dice the other, and capital being the
longer winded, has won the fight.
Business in some parts of the country
has been paralyzed at the very season
when it ought to have shown the most
life and activity, and depressing influ.
ence has been felt everywhere. Capital
has fled for safety to the vaults of east
ern banks. The thousands of men en-
gagged in the strike have lived much
more economically than usual, or have
gone deeply in debt. The tens of thou
sands of poor laboring men who have
been thrown out of work by the stagna-
ton of business Lave perhaps suffered
more severely than the strikers them
selves, and every class of trade has
suffered from the loss Of the necessary
amount of money. When the American
citizen feels a sentiment, it may not
affect his action very greatly; but when
he feels depression of business, acting
directly upon his pccket-bOok, he is apt
to look INTO the matter, and his decision
is always just and always final. The
public were worn out by the stagnatiOn
of business, and demanded that the
strike should end.
\ few things have been settled by the
strike. The first is, that primarily pub
lie opinion is in favor of the laborer.
Second, that no man has right to de-
stroy the property of another, and he
loses the public goodwill the moment
he engages in it. Third, that no man
or set of men have right to fOrcibly
prevent others from working for such
wages as they see proper to accept.
Fourth, that it is an act of murder to
displace rails, or to do any act whereby
life may be destroyed. Fifth, that ev-
cry man has a right to work when he
pleases, if he can get employment, and
to quit when he pleases, If he has no
contract; but that conspiracies to take
fOrcible possession of the property OF
others, and eject men who want to work,
will not be tolerated. Sixth, that nc
great strike can be successful without
the force of public sentiment in its IA
vor. When labor becomes well enough
organized to quietly, firmly. and in a
respectful manner make its wants
known, and is able TO control the dis
orderly element in its own ranks, then.
and not till then will it begin to gain
victories worthy of mention

The congressional committee to in.
vestigate the cause of the strike, was
in st. Louis last Monday, and heard
the statements of the labor Organiza-
lions and citizens, and addressed let
ter to the general executive board of
the knights of Labor, stating that the
testimony "shows conclusively that
very serious losses to the commercial.
agricultural and other industries of the
entire country have resulted from the
labor troubles and advising a discon-
tinuance of the strike. Accordingly,
the executive board, which appeared
only waiting for an excuse, declared
the strike at an end, to take effect
Tuesday morning, May 4th, and direct
ed the members of the organization to
make application TO their former en-
ployers for unemployment on that date.

Fred Douglass, writing to the North
American Review on the future OF the
coiored race, uses the following Ian
guage: My strongest convictions as
to the future of the negro is that he
will not be expatriatei nor annihilated,
nor will he remain forever a separate
and distinct race from the people
around him, but that he will be absorb
ed, assimilated, and will appear finally
as the Ph9nicians now appear on the
shores of the Shannon, in the features
of blended race"

The cost Of Senator Millcr's funeral
10 the government, was $1,000, and ac.
tually the sergeant-at-arms of the SEN
ate feels good that the expense was Sc
small, aud accordingly congratulates
the country. This was exactly $4,000
more than the government should have
paid. The precedent is wrong, and the
congress that will fatty refuse to spend
small fortunes for burying its dead
members. aud for pensioning the wild
Ows % high officials, will live in his
tory. There is no more reason for
recklessly spending the peoples money
for swell funerals, than there would be
in spending il for private picnic parties.

The people of Burlington, n. j., ought
to come westand learn enough gallantry
to respect and protect females. A few
days ago beautiful and respectable
young lady of that city was walking
down street, dressed in Mother Hub
bard. y crowd chased her into drug
store, and even threw stones at her. A
policeman was called to take her home.
Let man throw a stone at a woman in
this country and the most ungallant in

dog-no matter whether she happened
to be dressed in a Mother Hubbard or
in the latest decolette ballroom cos
tune.

aboard a Santa Fe train at Hutchinson
on Saturday night and demanded trans
portation to Kansas City. They were
taken to Topeka and detained, but re-
leased when they showed that they had
been hired in Kansas City to work on
the railroad from Hutchinson to Kins-

rived at Hutchinson the contractors
would only give $50 per day.
