whether these people are to be allowed
now. or at any future time, to exercise
such autOcratic powers, We have fully
sympathized with railroad workmen here
tofore in their contest with monopoly and
capital, and we believe the people have,
but the paltry grounds of the strike, and
its damaging effect on the entire inter-
ests of the state, has alienated popular
sentiment from all sympathy with the
Knights of Labor. They have pushed
the matter too far. Their own mem
bers are becoming dissatisfied, and some
of them openly express themselves to
that effect. The result or end must come
soon, and although we are neither a
prophet nor the son of a prophet, we pre-
dict that the result will be the disintegra-

"TAkE HIN TO A HOSPITAL

About the hardest expression that ever
was uttered came FROM the lips OF a
daughter in Newark the other night, when
summoned to the station house where her
fathe lay wounded, perhaps to death, by
his own hand, she was asked where he
should be taken, she answered with in
difference, He has no home; take him to
hospital"
1t seems that the family of the wounded
man, Henry W. Tobias, are wealthy, ami
that being refused admission to his wife S
residence, he drew revolver and fired a
ball near the region of his heart. and walk
ing into the station asked to be sent to
hospital. What a story
there must have been behind the indiffer,
ent answer of his daughter, He has NO
home, take him to a hospital" The man
may have heavily wronged and sorrowed
his family, but, lying there bleeding to
death. the words of his daughter must
have inflicted deeper wound. Her words
were sharper than any serpant's tooth,
poisoning the last moments of an ill
spent life, but degrading the woman that
uttered them.
1t is the sequel of many stories of fam
lily enlargement, of that separation,
like two cliffs rent asunder" that harders
hearts and calcines all the sweeter emo
tions into dust. Poor fellow, it may have
been his fault, but the sentence pro
nounced by his own daughter was infa
nous because she had no pity
1t ought to serve as lesson to husbands
and fathers to teach them never to do
anything that will estrange them from the
hospital of loving home in the hours of
an ebbing life pickering out of existence.

THE MISSOURI PACIFIC vINDICATFD

governor of Missouri, based on an alleged
violation of said agreement, and but One

This is inevitable. There is no organi-
cation in this country that can defy popu-
lar opinion. II is the unwritten and most
powerful law of the land, and the man or

of Labor--conservative law abiding

ton of citizens of Clark county, whose
section is suffering for want of provis-

case, the strikers had better get out of
the way, or they will probably encounter
the shotgun. The truth is, take a couple
OF dozen Texas cowboys, and give them
liberty to use their Winchesters and six
shooters, and like the starving Arkan-
sans, they would take any and all trains

somebody pretty badly. There would be

years, been connected with the

has been one of it's most accom-
plished and jealous workers. When
Mrs. Wells lectured in Maryville
about q year ago all who heard her

cellent sayings she uttered. No
wonder, then, that she has been
greeted with so large and intelli-
gent audiences. She has served

tured in it six times in five days,
Sunday night found a large audi
ence in the M. E. Church, South, to
listen to the lady speaker. The
very first sentences that she ut.

whole audience and the succeeding
remarks held it. The lecture was
one of the most interesting ever de-
livered in Maryville.
