The Apache Rand.

The war department on Wednesday
received the following telegram from
General Miles, dated Calabosas, June Z:
For thirty-six days the hostile Apaches
have been pursued by the troops in scat
tered bands, altogether over 500 miles
of the most mountainous region Of the
country. After an engagement with
ours and two with the Mexicans, the
party endeavored to reach the agency.
Lieutenant Wade and Captain Pierce
held the Indians on the reservation in
close control instead of getting assist
ance. What horses they had were cap
tured and the band escaped on foot to
the mountains. They joined the re-
mainder in the Cataline mountains, but
were driven out by the troops under
Captain Lebe and followed by Lieuten-
ant Bigelow through the Whitestone
and Patagonia mountains. Last night
Lieut.. Walsh, Fourth artillery, with
thirty-nine soldiers and Indian scouts,
intercepted the band in the Patagonia
mountains and captured three horses,
saddles and supplies. Since the Indians
entered United States territory they
have killed thirteen persons whom they
found unarmed in remote places They
have been given no rest, and if not cap
tured to-day will be driven into Sonora,
Mexico.

A Scheme for the Development of Cooke
Mines.

A Cooke correspondent of the Bczeman
Courier says: A private meeting of pro-
spective mlllionaires was held the other
evening in the shaft house of the Black
Warrior lode and steps taken to organize
company. The proposition which pre-
vailed, as near as could get at it, was
that the owners of the mines should bond
them to the company at fixed cash price
and the company issue stock at double
the amount and place it IN London
taking half cash and half stock, the sur
plus money to be used IN developing the
properties and erecting reduction works.
The mines represented at the meeting
were the very ores needed to insure sue
cessful operation of reduction works
iron, lead, galena and lime, which make
a combination indispensable. The pro-
jectors proposed to have out prospecting
parties during the proper season to make
new discoveries and locations for the COM
pany. One thing is certain, the parties
who own the mines have not sufficient
capital to develop them, and if they did
they would have to sell their ores to own
ers of reduction works who would make
most of the profit. BY long pull, a
strong pull, and pull altogether I hope
they will meet with success.

Serious RiOtsin Ireland,


At the Queens Island ship-yards at
Belfast, Ireland, on the 4th, Orange work
men attacked navvies employed by the
harbor commissioner and drove them into
the water. One man was drowned and it
was with the greatest difficulty that others
were saved.
The rioting was renewed on the evening
of the 9Th. A mob of Orangemen wreck
ed number of houses Of Catholics and
threw stones at the police, severely lnjur.
ing some of them. The riot act was read
and the police fired upon the mob, which
replied with revolvers. Many were injur-
ed on both sides, bnt the police finally
triumphed. Rioting continued in the
Orange districts of Monaghan. At Lurgan
several m1litlamen were wounded, some
houses wrecked and several persons shot,
some being dangerously wounded. Troops
were ordered from Armagh.
On the following day the Orangemen
were again rioting at Belfast. They
wrecked one hundred houses, two of which
they burned. They broke into whisky
stores and possessed themselves of the
contents. Several assaults were made by
the police upon the rioters, nine of whom
were killed and a number wounded. One
hundred and fifty policemen were sent
from Dublin to reinforce the police there.

The Butte SmOkehOuSe Lode.

a Washington dispatch of the 7th
says: In the matter of the Smokehouse
lode mining claim at Butte City, Mon
tana, the Secretary Of the Interior has
declined to advise that a suit be institu-
ted in the name Of the United States to
set aside the patent issued for the said
claim. Application was made on behalf

Big WashOuts in New Mexico.

A flood in southern New Mexico,
caused by the heavy rains Of last week,
washed away every bridge on the Sante
Fe railroad across the Rio Grande river
except at San Juan and Bernadillo. No
trains attempted to cross the river for
eight days and but two transfers of pas
sengers and baggage were made during
that time. The river at many places is
two miles wide. The old church of st.
Francis at Santa Domingo, over one
hundred years old, has been washed
away, but the pictures and books in the
building, dating back to the fourteenth
century. were saved.

Another Suicide at BOzeman.

On Sunday last Mrs. Smith, who kept
restaurant on Main street, Bozeman, took
an overdnse of morphine with the evident
intention of committing suicide. DR..
Monroe, who was summoned, attempted
by every known means to save the woman S
life, but without avail, she dying at eight
o'clock the following morning. Mrs.
Smith was former resident of Glcndive
but had for the past two years lived in
Bozeman with her husband, worthless
character, where she had by hard labor as
laundress secured comfortable home.
The probable incentive to the rash deed
was the abuse of her husband who, when
intoxicated, had been in the habit of NAL
treating her. This is the third suicide in
that vicinity within three weeks-the 9TH
er two being Kate Doughty and Private
Theodore Krowl of Fort Ellis.

Almost q Serious Accident.

Courier: Mr.. J. L. Holmes, who came
over from Livingston on Saturday. came
very near having serious accident on the
way. While driving along the road east
of Muir his horses took fright at porta-
BILE engine that has been standing by the
wayside during the past twelve months or
more, and dashing at almost lightning
speed against fence the buggy was made
almost a complete wreck and Mr.. Holmes
was spilled out, and holding on to the
lines he was dragged on the ground a con-
siderable distance before the scared steeds
could be persuaded to stop. Mr.. Holmes
then returned some distance, procured a
heavier wagon and drove into town with
out any further mishap. His injuries are
slight.
The engine above referred to has been
public nuisance altogether too long and
the authorities should see that it is moved.
It is of such character that the most gen.
tie horses become frightened at it. Not
day passes but some one has trouble in
getting their team by it.

PreDaring for an Outbreak.

An Edmonton, n. w. r., dispatch
says: "A rumor is current among the
Indians of the district from Victoria to
Lac Ste. Anne that the Indians from
the south are preparing for an outbreak
in the near future, in which they will
be assisted by the Fenians and others
from south of the line. The Indians
from this district are expected to join
them, and it is said that the Bobtails
had left their reservation. The plan is
to attack Mcleod, Calgary and Regina,
leaving the Saskatchewan country to be
taken at leisure.

BosToN, Dec l1.-As an earnest So
cialist who desires the progress of the
cause, l claim the permission to display
my views on very important subject,
relating to the future welfare of Social
ism. 1t is known to the readers of 80
sephus" that the cause of the Jewish
defeat with the Romans wus due to the
differences which existed between their
various sects, that instead ofunlting and
with their united strength fighting the
enemy, they exhausted their strength
by fighting each other.
The above statement ought to serve as
lesson to us Socialists, Anarchists and
Communists. 1t is painful to see the
discord between the different sects, how
one attacks the other, and how each
one pulls in different direction. Can
anyone suppose that with such action
we will ever reach that for which we
strive? Is it reasonable to dispute as to
how the fish shall be cooked before they
are caught?
We find among US State Socialists,
Revolutionary Socialists, Christian So
cialists, Anarchistic Socialists, Ana rch.
lists. CommlnistiC Anarchists, ColleCtiV-
| lists, each one of these denounclng the
others. DR.. Aveling denounces the An

we unite when We disagree in mea IS

such differences between Socialists and
Anarchists, for which they should be 81
antagonistic, especially between tht
minor sects. 1t is only owing to the
ambition of idealists who desire to show
their ideas superior to others. 1t seems
that you all intend to spend your time

The Chicago News affects to be afraid
the labor press may do some harm, be-
cause. as it asserts, it only presents one
side of the question in discussing the in

there would be no danger of misleading
the people, from want of argument, on
the capitalistic side. For centuries books
have been written, sermons preached,
and newspapers printed, to teach the
toiler to be contented with his lot, to
convince him he was born to eat bread
unmurmurlnglY In the sweat of his brow;
to show his obedience to those In power

duccr's PRICE. The speculator thus be-
comes owner of the goods, and the con-
sumner is obliged to buy from him at q
ruinous price. Every workman is trib'
utary to the profit monger without
knowing it in almost every relation in
life. Every mouthful of bread he con
sumes has paid toll to the proft7mon'
ger, though the toiler knows it not.
Profit is simply the science of unequal
exchanges. and is neither more or less
than downright swindling. The value
of an article is determined by the aver.
age amount of labor measured by time,
necessary to produce it. When, there
fore, A receives from B an article which
cost four hours labor in exchange for
one that cost only two, A defrauded B
to the extent of two hours labor.
Such are the three great devouring
monsters to which society is prey,
What then are the remedies? First,
the nation must resume possession of
the land, abolish all rates and taxes, and
in place thereof cause all rents, whether
urban, agricultural or mineral, to flow
into the public Golfers, to be expended
by democratic local councils for the
public veal.
Secondly, we must repeal all laws that
guarantee the collection of interest or
increase, not forgetting the Divine in
junction, "Thou shalt not lend upon u.s..
ury to thy brother, usury of money, us.
ury of victuals, usurY of ANYTHING that is
lent upon usury."
Thirdly, the existing banking system,
whose essence and outcome are fraud
and enslavement, must be wholly abol'
ished, and Labor Note issue substi-
tuted.
By these and other means, which the
limits of our space prevent US from in
dicatlng, the idle classes, without ex-
ception, will be forced into the ranks of
honest industry. Three hours work
per head day will then, it has been
calculated by the highest statistical au-
thority, be found ample to provide the
whole community with the comforts
and even the elegancies of life.

Reduction OF the Hours of Labor,


Reduction OF the Hours of Labor.
For The Enquirer.
Machinery has increased so enOr'
mously, during the past forty years, that
it has become vital necessity to reduce
to six or four day. Otherwise there
will always be a large number of unem-
ployed people; some suffering by desti-
tuition, and others by surfeit of goods )
both existing at the expense of the
workers.
Every able-bodied person should earn
his living, by labor that is useful to the
community. The hours of labor should
be reduced until all who are no poor are
remuneratively and honestly employed.
One of the consequences wonld be that
those who are now rich and idle woul d
not, easily, get menial servants, would
have to live less extravagantly, and
would have to do some work.
1t is the policy of the usurers and
their agents to have, always, a large
number of people unemployed and des
titute. These surplus" workers are
used as means to keep wages down to
their lowest rates. The hours of labor
should be reduced until there is no sur
plus left. Then wages will rise to their
natural rates and not until then.
The interests of employer and en-
ploye are identical in this reform.
Artists, architects, merchants. and all
who earn their living by honest labor
would be great gamers by its adoption.
Why must one man work twelve
hours day, while two other men are
(unwillingly) Idle? Why cannot the
three work four hours day, instead of
one working tWelve2 The answer is
that the two men are the surplus
whose necessities are used, by the ex-
tortloners, as q means of keeping wages
down to the lowest possible rates. 49,
All wealth is produced by labor; )
gold, paber money, bonds, railways
ships, buildings, books everything. 1t
follows, then, that those who labor sup
port all those who do not labor-rich
and poor. Thus the one employed man
supports the two unemployed men-di-
rectly or indirectly. 1t is low wage has
to support the three. Let the three
join at the work, and the surplus labor
will be gone, and wages will surely rise
Let us secure a large and general re.
duction of the hours of labor. and an in
crease of wages-for both employees and
employers-w inevitably follow. Il
will, therefore, be unnecessary to wran
gle over the rates of wages when we are
negotiating for the reduction of working
hours, or, in other words, for mere ra-
tional and equitable division of labor.
There never will be an equitable divi-
sion of property until there is an equita
BILE division of labor and leisure.
