fired three shots with revolver, hitting
one boy, John Alexander in the head and
Infiicting very dangerous wound.

shares taken from the earnings Of this
branch Of the road has been taken I'M
justly either from the employees or the
patrons Of the road. If the road had
been capitalized at its true cost not
only would the employees have been
paid many millions of dollars which
went into the pockets OF the New York
millionaires, but there would have
been no need for the services of a
receiver. The business of the road
honestly conducted, had it been hon
estly capitalized would have paid
handsome interest on the investment
and good wages to every man in its
service.
Those who talk of invoking the aid
Of the United States troops TO coerce-
the men that have been forced ~ work
for starvation wages by reason Of tho
tricks of the Wall street manipulators,
should remember that the power OF the
United States should have been
invoked long ago to prevent that
ubiquitous system of plundering rail-
way, companies which has been so
largely instrumental in bringing about
the present depression, and which has
built up colossal fortunes in New York
while the masses of the employees are
reduced to hopeless poverty.

The recent strike along the line ofthe
Gould system of roads, and particular.
u the Texas and Pacific Railroad,
ought to bring to the public mind a
history Of the financial management OF
those companies, and Che processes by
which these workingmen were brought
down to starvation wages. The en-
ployees on the Texas Pacific, it is true,
are naw working for bankrupt con.
Germ which It may be commended is not
able to pay higher wages. On the
other hand, it would be well for these
workingmen, and the people generally,
TO inquire how this bankruptcy was
brought about, for that is the keynote
to national legislation which tle labor
ing men should insist upon.
1t may be stated primarily that Mr..
Gould's cast of railroad was never
wrecked by the margin it paid to its
employees. On the contrary, its vital.
ity was Slapped by the "financiering"
Of Its officials.
Gould and his fellow wreckers have
plundered the company, feeced the
stockholders, and, as far as they could,
starved the employees, and when they
had squeezed all there was out of the
road, threw 1t into the Lands of the
court,
For all these wrongs Mr.. Gould and

THE DANGER Is PAST.


The fifty-seventh anniversary of the
declaration OF Greek independence was
celebrated throughout that kingdom yes
terday, and still there were observable no
demonstrations that could be construed
into determination to force war with
Turkey, or that could be looked upon as
evidence of great discomfort at the de-
cision OF the Powers which makes Prince
Alexander Governor OF Roumelia for the
next five years. Indeed, the dispatches
represent that the Bulgarian Prince has
yielded to the Powers, and the Greek
King and Ministers have so far evinced
their satisfaction with matters as they
stand as to order III The -disGGntiaGance of
war preparations.
After all, it seems impossible that
Greece should have seriously contem-
plated entering upon war with Turkey
unless, indeed, such assurances oi
assistance have been made by other
Powers as to make King George confident
of successful outcome. Lett to them.
selves, war between Greece and Turkey
could have but one result, and that would
show the Turk on top, and very likely in
possession OF Athens.
1t is to be hoped that the pugnaciou'
Greeks will now subsde for while, anc
give all Europe chance to recover iron
the fright which they have recently ex
perienced.

THE LATEST EPIsTLE.

In general conference assembled, the
Saints at Provo yesterday listened to the
reading of a lengthy epistle OF the First
Presidency OF the Church-at least, it is
presumed they listened TO it, though
there is really nothing in the document
itself, outside OF its Munchausenisms, to
forbid the supposition that they listened
to only the opening sentences, and then,
succumbing to their overpowering sopo-
rife influence, went fast asleep and
even fell to snoring.
The signatures attached to this epistle
are those OF John Taylor and George O..
Cannon-two fugtives from justice. 1t
is the same old song over again" Perse-
cution for our religions sake! " Sub
mitted to analysis, its contents are found
to be scarcely grain OF fair state
ment or trace OF truth to unlim-
tied quantities OF misstatement and
innumerable bareiaced lies, such even
as Annanias of old would not have been
ashamed to father. From first to last it
is deliberate misstatement OF nearly all
the matters it purports to treat, and
winds up with an appeal to the religious
passions and prejudices OF the deluded
masses, to stand firm in their faith and
"keep sacred the covenants we have
made with God and each other" even
though the penitentiary be their earthly
reward for so doing. All this, OF course,
is very tough on the Almighty, but from
time immemorial His name has been
so extensively used as cover for nasti-
ness and crime that perhaps he no longer
pays any attention to it.
The only effect this epistle can possibly
have on the Mormon people will be tc
intensity their feelings of hatred toward
the Government, toward the officials en-.
trusted with the duty of enforcing the
laws here, and toward every American in
Utah and everything that smacks o
Amcricanism. 1t is high time the Gov
ernment took cognizance OF the situation
in Utah as it really exists, and settled
the whole business by throttling the
Church vampire that sucks the life-bloot
OF the State and hurls its treason ant
tlaunts its nastiness in the face of loya
citizens.

THAT COLONIZATION SCHEME.

The Phoebe Record is afraid that the
Mormons are fixing up a scheme to re-
move over the line into Nevada in such
numbers as to enable them to secure
political control of that State. Says the
Record:
The report which has been going the
rounds of the press lately as to the "Mor-
mon policy" of populating Nevada by its un-
washed and unterrifjed alien law-breakers,
carries 50 per cent of truth and 8 per cent.
of sensational matter; for it is obvious to
any intelligent person in the country that
our Mormon friends, where one of their
hnmbsr fsr baa is ug gon for TO office always aooG
tile. At no time in the past,
however. has the priestly and political fist
of the willy saint been so apparent as at pre-
sent, for with the gradual depopulation of
our once tiourishing mining camps, and the
large influx during the past year of this
class of undesirable citizens, the leaders in
Salt Lake are not blind to the fact that if
they can secure the balance of power in this
State they can erect a "Sealing Temple" at
Carson City, and then laugh at all the Ed
munds bills which Congress might pass
against their pet hobby, polygamy.
The Record is needlessly alarmed. The
Saints have no particular anxiety to cul-
tivate closer acquaintance with Nevada
men, or to place themselves under the
operation OF Nevada laws, and as to Sc
curing the balance of power in that State,
the returns would never justify the out
lay of money and labor that would be re-
quired to accomplish it. The Saints are
experiencing pretty tough time in living
up to their religion in this Territory,
brt it is safe to say they will never
jump tot the frying-pan into the fire by
emigrating into Nevada, whose Legisla-
tnre would doubtless take great pleasure
in enacting laws such as would make the
State Il very undesirable place OF resi-
dence for them. The Record need have
no fear OF an influx OF Mormons into

GLOOMY DISPATCHES.

The special dispatches from Washing
ton in this mornings Tribune cannot be
regarded as especially encouraging to the
Gentiles OF Utah. Their tenor denote
strong Mormon work and influence, if
not heavy Church sack at the Capital.
A gentleman who has just returned from
Washington says less is known outside
OF Congressional circles there in relation
to Utah matters than in Salt Lake City.
That being the case, it is probable that
the Tribune correspondents information
was not obtained from official sources.
The report that Speaker Carlisle would
never recognize the member who would
want to place the WOODBURY. -Edmunds
bill on its passage, may be regarded as
especially unworthy OF credit There is
nothing in the gentleman's career as pre-
siding officer OF the House to war
rant such a supposition. He has
never been accused OF unfair
ness, or Il disposition to thwart
legislation by arbitrary exercise OF par
liamentary powers, and it is not presum-
able that he would inaugurate change of
tactics by so gross and palpable an abuse
OF his position upon measure against
which he has never indicated any violent
opposition. The Mormon attprgay,s
wager that no bill against Mormon
iawiessness w9nd leave any committee
TINS seSsion, was doubtless a piece OF
oTraaggadocio designed to discourage the
friends OF anti-Mormon legislation, Mr..
Carlisle's assertion that Governor West
would execute the laws fairly but with
out persecution, had it come from a
Mormon would be susceptible to Il more
than doubtful meaning The Mormons
regard the punishment of their crimes
by law the acme OF oppression, but Mr.,
Carlisle, not being Mormon nor
Mormon sympathizer, 10 such
construction can be reasonably given to
his language. 1t was based doubtless upon
the report circulated by the Mormons at
Washington that the laws were not en-
forced against the Genties in Utah as
against the Saints, Ii this were true there
would be just ground for complaint
by the latter. Governor West will ascer
tain the truth or falsity OF the charge
upon his arrival here, and should he fine
that such discrimination is made-which
however, he will not--it would be his duty
to exercise his Executive power for it
suppression. That the Mormons art
making death struggle TO prevent hos
tile legislation and that they have secured

Coal in the Arctic Regions.

Commenting on Lieut.. Greely's dis
coyery OF coal within the Arctic circle in
Greenland, Mr.. W. NJ. Williams express
es himself as dissatisfied with the pre-
yailing notion which demands a subtrop-
ical climate for the formation OF carbon
ferrous deposits. He has himself de-
scribed the deposition OF coal that is in
actual progress at the present time in
Norway, within degrees OF the Arctic
circle, and believes that similar deposits
may be found much further north, No
very violent alteration OF climate, there
fore, need be assumed to explain the
Greenland coal.
