The following is the Courier Jour
MATS advice to workingmen: ave in
sist that the employers shall permit
union men to work we insist with
equal seriousness that employees shall
permit non-nnion men to labor. The
refusal in one case is as wrong, as IN
just, as indefensible as is a refusal in
the other. The labor organizations
must not blunder in this direction.
They have to rely on public sentiment
to sustain them in their demands, but
public sentiment will never justify a
warfare of the labor organizations
against laboring men who prefer to
stay outside. The way TO recruit is
to show those who are hesitating that
these organizations are doing good.
By their fruits shall we know them.
But every laborer must be left free to
decide whether or not be will connect
himself with labor unions"

The House Congressional committee
on commerce reported fayorably ON
Drummer's Tax Bill. The committee
comedies the right of a State to tax
its citizens engaging in any business,
but denies that the State has the
right to lay duty upon importation
from one State into another, under
the name Of license tax or penalty.
The report concludes as follows:
"The contracts for sales made by COM
mercial travellers are not consnm-
mated in the State when the order
is solicited, but the final assent there
to is given by the merchant or priDci-
pal who receives and executes the
order of his correspondent. This
trade is now carried on without OBJ
lection by postal communication and
samples by mail, and it is not per-
ceiyed why the same thing executed
by a commercial traveller in person is
in any way Objectionable"

IT is said that private papers of the late

will throw much light upon the attempt Of

to arm and organize them, and by the CO.

diversion which would relieve the pressure
upon the army at the front. These papers

ments will begin in December.
DIR. SALMON chief of the bureau of animal
industry, in his official report upon the out
break of the pleuro-pneumonia at Chicago,
details his personal examination of diseased
and infected herds and says that it is i'm
possible to say how widely the disease has
been disseminated, but as diseased cattle
have been found in nearly all the herds and
as they have browsed upon nearly all of the
open pastures around the city, infection
must be very widespread, particularly as
owners themselves practiced incubation
extensively, which, while it reduced the
mortality among the cattle had a tendency
to spread the disease over vast territory.

ages, and when the train reached certain
sharp curve when the speed was Stacked he

The Sad Accident Near Randolph.

The Elliot shows the marks of her en-
counter with that team near West Randolph
the other day. Engineer Stebbins, who
was running that trip as substitute for Mr..
Buck, was naturally much depressed by his
terrible experience. 1t appears that at the
crossing where the accident happened the
track can be seen for long distance The
ladies who were killed were driving an old
horse which was afraid of the cars, and
when they saw the train coming they made
an effort to get over the track in advance of
it, so as to prevent being thrown out by a
frightened horse. But they miscalculated
the speed of the train (thirty-fve miles or
more per hour, and the horse had but just
reached the track when the engine struck
the team and hurled its occupants into eter-
nifty. The team was first seen by the fire.
man, and one of the ladies was on her knees,
leaning over the dashboard and urging the
horse ahead. The wagon was converted to
kindling wood in an instant and the horse
was thrown up as high as the headlight and
off to the other side of the track. The train
was stopped Immediately, and waited till
the bodies could be picked up and cared for.
1t can readily be imagined that the nerves
of the engineer and his fireman were trtie
shaken during the rest of the trip to the
Junction. To be placed in position like
this-entirely blameless, and helpless to
avert the calamity-is an ordeal trying to
the stoutest eart-Nessenger.
