Certainly, looking at the matter from a

much worse. Mrs. Cleveland seems 10

Daily Tombstone epitaph., 1886-04-02

The EPITAPH cannot be driven into the proposition of defaming the business men of this community. The futile threats of the Tombstone fall harml
 at our feet. Our position upon ,h
 Chinese question has never undergo,, any change since its inception. We firmly believe, that had the business men named in the so-called black list been approached and asked to patronize white labor. that they would have gladly done SO. Mir. Woods tells an EPITApH re. porter that the committee of the anti Chinese League has never spoken to him upon this subject. Further 1t seem, a little strange that few gentleman should have been selected from this large community to make targets of, when so many others are in similar cir. cumstances. There is some splendid feelings in the human heart that rebels against all forms of tyrany. In this brood land of America where floats ,he ensign of freedom, the glorious stars and stripes, all men are equal. The soft tender voice of love can approach where the tyrant fears to tread Constitutional government and equality before the law are the enduring principles upon which this nation is established. So we say emphatically that we are in favor of free white labor and unalteraby opposed to the Chinese. But we are not in favor of beycotting our nsighbors because they happen to disagree with our policy. It is unjust, ,yranncal and,unamerican and will only resul, in making hosts of friends for the Chinamen. There is not a man, woman or child in Tombstone who would not rejoice to see the Chinese leave our city, but you cannot coerce a man or set Of men into your belief.

CHICAGO, April IA special dispatch published here this morning asserts that Gabriel Dumont, who was connected the Riel revolution last spring in the Northwest, is Tn Montana and, it is feared, is inducing the tribes of Territo- rial Indians to joln the intended insur- rection of their Canadian brethren. He has, it is said, been visiting each Indian camp, making friends of the chief of the Crees, the Cheyennes, Crows and other tribes. He has been visited by chiefs of Canadian tribes, and everything is nearly ripe for action. Dumont IS credited with the statement that Crowfoot, of Canada, was ready and willing to put 1000 war riors in the field at any time, and that the time was not far distant when he would be invited to get out his forces.
