A SAD DEATH.

Monday morning. Frank Neller,
of Lansing, was found dead. shot
through the head. lie was young man,
Of about rs years of age, and the son of
Francis heller, who is well known to
the old residents of this part of the
county. The young man had been in
lo,r health, and was confined to his
room. His father had taken in his
breakfast, and had gone out to his work,
when he heard the report of gun. He
hurried to the house, and found his son
lying on the floor. shot through the head
the shot entering his eye. 1t seems that
he left his bed. and went to an adjoining
room, where he took a shot gun from a
shelf and either by accident or design
had shot himself. The many friends of
Mr.. heller and family will sympathlze
with them in this sad misfortune.

restrain any threatened violation OF the
provisions of this section"
This means that every railroad will
have the assistance of the judges Of the
United States circuit court, who can fine
and imprlson men during railroad

Jay Gould's associated press has never

innocent lives are lost such loss may
be looked upon as sacrificial offering
to the Deity who has declared that He Is
the enemy of the. oppressor and the
avenger of the oppressed. Thus by a
smaller sacrifice of life and property
than is involved in one great European
war, all the grand palaces, costly struc-
lures and equippages of the English and
American aristocracy could be blown to
atoms, and in moment the grand re-
suit be accomplished which neither rea-
son, logic, eloquence, tears or 'groans
could accomplish. Us
We have thus clearly and honestly
stated the dynamiter's creed. tits certain
thatin any considerable CITY in the union
there are organizations of dynamiters
whose numbers and power are rapidly
increasing. These men are cold, heart
less, relentless foes of society; they are
perpetual menace TO the established
order of things; most of the riots, mobs
and explosions are the work of these
hands; they teach doctrines which if
carried out would extinguish in flames
millions of property, endanger the lives
of thousands, and revo!utionize the
structure of social and moral order. An
important question, therefore, which
should be speedily answered is, what is
civilized society going to do with this
creed and its adherents?
I The Rev. DR.. Abbott, one of the most
prominent and learned clergymen of
this age, recently published in the Cen
tury magazine an exhaustive treatise on
the Dagger Ahead" for American So
clety, in which he gave due prominence
to the dangers involved to the Ameri-
can republic by the great mono. olies
and monied corporations which exist
here. He pointed out also that the dan
gerous classes who believe the dyna-
mlter's creed are necessary conse-
quence of the condition of our society.
1t is imperatively demanded by the
exigences of American society that con-
gress should inaugurate some wise, pat
riotic legislation to disarm the wide,
spread discomfort. 1t is better to
disarm discomfort than to suppress
mobs; better to make concessions to the
just demands Of the people than to put
down Revolution. Where the people
govern themselves, as in this country
the majority is supreme; vet where
there is large minority even who have
Just cause for discomfort it is als avs
wise to give due consideration to theil
grievances. |. M. FREY.

SAMPLE ARGUMENT.

Cl4ssing Knights of Labor and Social
lists together, the Chicago Times says:
They declare that the doctrine of the
free and unalienable right to life, liberty
and happiness includes the equal and
unallenab,l ,le right to the use of the ele-
ments from which life must be sup
ported This was a favorite assump-
ton of Owen, Fourier, and all the philos-
ophers Of Utopia that found, or pre-
tended TO find, the premises of their
arguments in the writings of r )sseau
and Bentham. By their asserted equal
right of men to the use of the elements
from which life must be supported they
did not mean equal liberty of men to
support life and pursue happiness bv
exercising their faculties; but equal
right to possess the things that they
think would make them happy without
struggle and labor and sacrifice to gain
them
This is sample of capi talistic argu-
ment. The Times is too great paper to
be ign; rant, hence it's only hope is to
tell lies to say to opponents that their
meaning is exactly opposite to what
their words commonly imply. 1t is en-
couraging to see our enemies reduced to
this extremity.

belonging to different organizations
could wo k in harmony together 1.-The
card of any member Of this order admit
ting him to work in any union shop and
the card of any union man admitting
him to work In any Knights of Labor
shop.
We further believe that upsn de-
mand for increase of wages or shorter
hours of labor, made by either organi-
zation, a conference should be held with
the organized labor men employed in
the establishment where the demand
for increase of wages or reduction of
hours is contemplated; action upon a
proposed reduction of wages or other
difficulty to be agreed upon in like man
ner, and, that in the settlement of any
difficulties between employers and EN-.
ployes, the organizations represented in
the establishment shall be parties 10 the
terms of settlement. Trusting that the
method proposed herein will meet with
your approval. and that organized labor
will move forward and onward in har-
mony of effort and of interest, we are
yours fraternally.

JAY GOULD'S BILL.

Those who have insisted all along that
the issue between capital and labor will
be settled finally by blood, seem to
gather additional arguments as time goes
on. The latest point they MAKE to
prove the correctness of their predic-
uons Is where they show that sub rosa
Legislation" has been commenced by
the money power to abolish trial by
jury.
The railroads centering in Chicago
have ''p"oted their issues" and the rail-
road kings have issued a secret circular
to congressman instructing them 10 pass
some law which will stop railroad
strikes
Congressman Adams of Illin~ls has
introduced bill in the house making 1t
crime to in anyway interfere with the
running or operating of railroads. The
punishment will be $500 fine or one
years Imprisonment, or both. The last
sentence in thu bill is where the pith of
1t all lies. 1t reads thus: The circui,

AFTER printing statement that pota-
toes were shipped to the United States
from Europe, the Chicago Tribune adds
Were it not for the blind, greedy over
charge of the Vanderbilt roads Mlchi-
gan and Western New York would
gladly produce all the potatoes New
York City could possibly consume, of a
first, class quality, and sell them at very
moderate prices. But the over reaching
extortionate freight charges of the Van
derbilt road management in confiscating
two bushels for carrying the third one
to New York leaves too email a price to
the producer to pay for his labor; hence
the New York market for potatoes is
supplied from Europe. Such railroad
rapacity is little short of criminal This
is short Socalistlc sermon. The Tri

IT is astonishing the amount of good
things the republican party would have
done had the election of 1884 been favor
able to them. The Sentinel says in some
comments upon an article published by
The Oshkosh Times, that if the ''people
had elected republican administration
and congress" there would be reason to
growl because of failure to 10 certain
things. The wicked peoplei They had
been electing republican administrations
and congresses for years and still the
needed legislation was not secured. But
just az the republicans had got through
getting ready to do something, they were
ousted, and now when the democrats in
two years, and through the apostasy of
certain democrats, have failed to do what
the republicans did not do in twenty
four years, The Sentinel with arms
akimbo remarks, "see what you have
lost by failing to elect republicans. =
Surely the people will appreciate the
force of this argument and return to
power the party of such pure and good
Intentions when it is unable to do any
thing.
