Editor Labor Enquirer.
GENEsEo, Ill, Dec. 13.-The lowlands
sends greeting to the crsgs You, Col.
Danforth and Swlnton, in your papers,
dare to tell the truth about the Chicago
Anarchists. You are yindicated, not
alone by the supreme court of Illinois,
but by public sentiment. While you
have suffered from telling the truth,
you must feel elated that it has won in
this case. There must be less sho wing
ofheels to the exploiters Of our labor,
and more teeth presented 20 them, if
labor is to take possession of its own.
We are not Anarchists any more than
Methodlsts are Catholics. But the
Catholic has as much right to preach his
faith as the Methodist. The Satanic
press has already branded us all as An
archists For once they overdid their
task in their zeal to serve their masters.
The vote of November scared them
it has not converted them-so that they
are trying to regain their influence over
their dupes, by praising our organiza-
tions. But they damn as heartily as
ever our Henry Georges, Joe Buchanans,
etc., men who are tried and true IN the
cause of labor's emancipation. We as
knights must uphold these men and
not listen to the chatter of the court
fools. Brother Buchanan's paper ought
to have ten times the circulation that it
does, for there is not an abler paoer in
the United States.
Petty dissensions within the ranks of
organized labor must be squelched, and
an undivided army of the majority mar
shalied at the ballot box in '88. Your
mountains are the natural homes of
freemen. See to it, that the electric
spark that Henry George has kindled'
reaches not only to the chief of each
clan, but the heart of everv freeman
of the Rockies. ERNEST ). PAUL.

nobly to that end. ]. G. Potts, the sill
ver.tongued orator Of this district, is q
thorough conyersationalist and highly
entertaining gentlemen.
The mines heresat present are about
the same, unfortunately, as they have
been for the past year. Every new min
ing camp it seems must have its share
of litigation but Aspen has had more
trouble of this kind than all the rest of
the camps put together. This cursed
litigation has come upon US here in the
shaDe of an apex question, which has
throttled the prosperity of this camp.
1t has caused many of cur best mines to
stop producing and many of our miners
to be idle. This question of an apex
has truly been curse and an irresistl.
BILE drawback to our mines and enter
prising city, At the present moment,
the expectant ears of the entire commu-
nifty are turned towards the METROPOLIS
of this state, in hopes that they will ere
long hear of the conclusion of this ques-
ton, as it is now up for trial in the
the courts at that place.
The dignity and manhood of every
loyal workingman throughout the states
has been insulted by che mock and
sham trial that the six members of the
Pinkerton gang of do-as please rep.
robates and murderers, had recently for
the murder of an innocent workingman.
Is not such farce of law and justice as
this sufficient to goad and precipitate
good and law-abiding citizens TO desper-
alton, and a desire for revenge upon
this band of murderers, who have more
authority, it appears, to shoot down
citizen providing he is workingman)
than the settler out west has to shoot
down an Indian in defense of himselfP
l think it is high time that some form
ofjustice or retribution was applied to
this mob of murderous detectives.

A millionaire Socialist.

The New York Sun says: "a very in
teresting comparison is suggested by
Mr.. Pierre Lorilard's article in the last
North American Review. A few months
ago two gentleman, entitled to the full
limit of that courtesy which is due to
invited guests, were turned ont of the
Manhattan club because of their opin-
ions on Socialism. We do not suppose
that Mr.. Lorillard will be turned out of
any club of which he is member, and
yet he is just as much of a Socialist as
Messrs. Liebknecht aud AveIing."

B. Il 0. FIRST THROUGH TRAIN. The first
through train on the Baltimore and Ohio
road from New York leaves Saturday night
with an excursion of Knights Templar.
They will be transferred from tho Reading
to the Baltimore aud Ohio depot by coaches.
This inaugurates the new first class through
passenger route of the Baltimore and Ohio
from New York and ends the arrangement
By which the Pennsylvania road was paid
local rates TO carry them to Baltimore. The
Baltimore ard Ohio has leased pier 81, East
river, and has made application to the dock
board to lease piers SO and 81, North river,
New York, and will use these piers for its
freight business. Floats are now being con-
structed to transfer freight cars from their
piers to Communipaw, where connection
will be made with the Jersey Central tracks.
These arrangements will be completed by
the timo the Baltimore and Ohio has con-
nected in Philadelphia with the Reading
road, so that the freight business can be
pushed from the start: OF course, when the
connection IS made in Philadelphia the
transfer OF passengers in coaches will 10
longer be necessary.

The Eastern Puzzle.

The action Of England in taking posses
sion OF the island Of Thaso, iu the LEgean
sea, has created much anxiety on the con-
tlnent of Europe. Said Pasha, Turkish min
lister OF foreign affairs, has telegraphed to
Rustem Pasha, Turkish ambassador to Eng-
land, TO ask Lord Iddesleigh, British foreign
minister, whether or not it is true that Eng
land is charterirg steamers and making
other provisions against contingencies, and,
ifso, what are Eagland's reasons for this
activity; if it is direction in which Turkey
has au interest"
The Paris RcDubiquc Erencaisc publishes
telegram from London which states that
England meditates q grand coup d'etat,
aud will probably proclaim Egypt British
possession. She will however, adds the
Repubiique Froacaisc, "do nothing until she
has sufficient force ct Alexandria"
The idea OF having Il conference Of tie
powers at Constantinople 10 consider the
Bulgarian question is ripenins.
dispatch from Vienna to the London
Times says that Count halnoky, Austrian
minister fer foreign affairs, has returned to
Vienna from Gastein, furnished with the
rudlmenis Of al entente cordial between the
three emperors Oil the Bulgarian question,
at least SO far as the immediate future is
concerned. Russia" the dispatch SAYS,
recognizes the European character of the
Bulgarian question, while laying stress up.
on the special interests of Bulgaria.
The London Morning. Post says: Ger.
many has asked Russia for a pledge that
she will not interfere in Bulgaria, nor in
crease the irritation 10 the Balkans. Russia
atipulate5 that, ii such n pledge DO given,
that Germany and Austria shall not sane

"A special to Boston afternoon paper
from Clinton, Mass, says:
1.-THE interest in the sea serpent in this

the appearance in the immediate neighhor-
hood OF an enormous land snake, which is
playing havoc with live stock. The most
extraVagant stories have been told within
the past few days Of the serpent's size.

afterwards. The lost serpent was magni-

serpent that is now causing excitement has
been seen by several people, and nightly
sheep and calves disappear, it is believed
through tho inst.umentality oithe monster.
Bands o! hunters have started out from
Clinton, Charlton. South Bridge, and
Dudley to kill the serpent, but they are

it. The serpent haun.s the locality known
as Tie Dismal Swamps, TO tho northeast of
