Polk Alternately representing Har-
deman and the Hon. Noble Smith
son the railroad. Judge Jones be-
ing interested in the result could
mot preside at the trial nor could
the firm of Jones, Son d Ewing APP
pear in the case. The Hon. John
C. Lester was selected to preside as
circuit Judge. There will be found
elsewhefe in this issue a reference
to his charge to the jury. The
case went to the jury on Tuesday
morning. After being out short
time they came In with a verdict
for the defendant.
Judge Jones then took the bench
and called the docket Tor motions.
1t is to be remarked that more or
ders for condemnation of land have

many = term heretofore.
Tie next case tried was Harris
Solinsky vs.. Mason, Richardson &
Co., damage suit for malicious
prosecution and for the wrongful
suisg out of an attachment. The

injuries resulting from their con
duct? Public opinion i n free Amer
lea always settles down right let il
hurt whom it may, and until some
thing not yet known comes up the
strikers will be held responsible for
this trouble.
They have no right IN law or
morals to interfere with any man
who does not belong to their organ
izations, and a strong law should be
passed to protect men in their rights
TO work for living wherever they
can find employment and no sickly
sentimentality Should make US fail
TO do right Capital in the hands
of monopolists has lorded it over the
laboring classes of this country for
long time, making the rich richer,
and the poor poorer, but the time
is now at hand; if the conservative
laboring classes will do right we
will win, but in the name of Justice
let Us show the world that we are
intelligent thinking men and not
mob of ignoramuses trying to rule
the country by prejudice on the
basis Of one narrow idea.
With the rail roads. it is case
of lie or death. The strikers
make demands which if aceeded
to will take the control of the prop
Grey out of the hands Of the owners
and place it IN the hands OF the la
borers who already get 60 per cent
of the gross earnings OF the roads.
1t is notorious fact that rail roads
pay better prices than any other
corporations in the country. If the
business is good they are able 10
pay dividends, if cripped by strikes
or other i'll luck, they all pay
their men first, even if takes the
last dollar. This whole matter
partakes of the rule or ruin policy
a little too strong. Burning bridg
es, disabling engines, tearing up
tracks and other incendiarism is no |
way to right a wrong, and the per
petrators thereof, no matter wheth-
er they be high or low, will be Wis
tied with the anathemas of every |
honest man in the country. l am
not claiming prophetic qualities,
but if this matter is not speedily
stopped none can tell where it will
end, and both sides should Law
aside red tape and come to terms
What we need as Brother Gardner
says Is "more horse sense and
less demagogues." If all the la
Dor of the country is stopped blood
shed and anarchy will take the
place of good order, for when men
are hungry and by force kept from
work, they win become violent and
unmanageable. Let our law max
ers cease acting the coward and
-ectify this great wrong before it is
100 late. They can rest assured
hat all good people will back them
n all things when they are right.
Stop it, let him be to blame who
nay.
If we will stick to what is right
We win soon not have a convict
working at any mechanical busI-
less in the whole nation, and we
will have a law that will compel
to surrender its dishon- I
'stly gotten advantages and the
honest skilled mechanic or farm
aborer will stand up the equal of
my man in the nation, and merit
Ilone will place him there. While !
We claim our rights let us give to
'thers the same, and liye up to that
rand saying of Davy Crockett,
Be sure you are right, then go
