MAJOR STRAIT, a Minnesota con-
gresham, being asked what he
thought of the argument between
the House and Senate on the bill to
forfeit the entire Northern Pacific
land grant west of Bismarck, said:
"The situation is just this: The Sen
ate has passed bill which declares
that the lands granted to this corpora
tion which have never been earned
shall revert to the United States. The
upper house recognizes the right OF
the company to the lands which it has
earned, but which it has earned after
the date fixed upon for the expiration
of its charter. The House committee
took up the Senate bill, struck out all
after tie enacting clause and inserted
its own bill, which proposes to forfeit
every acre of land granted to the rail-
road which lies west of Bismarck,
Oak In other words, the House COM
mittee says in effect that because the
road met it'll reverses and failed to
carry out the terms of the charter
within the prescribed time although
il has subsequently done so) therefore
the land must revert to the United
States. The Senate will never agree
TO this. but | think the House will
eventually conclude to pass the bill as
il came from the Senate"

The decision of the Oregon district
court evicts the Wells-Fargo express
company from the Northern Pacific
railroad. The Wells-Fargo company,
assuming that the Northern Pacific
railway company, as a common car,
rier, was compelled to transport their
express matter, established their line
on that road. The Northern Pacific,
having an express line of its own, con-
tended that its duties as common
carrier did not compel it to sacrifice
its own business to accommodate u
rival concern. Upon this issue the
case was made up and carried into
court. The decision is favorable to
the Northern Pacific and will shut the
Wells-Fargo off from that line unless
an appeal be taken and the decision
reversed by the supreme court.

The Trodden Worm Will Turn.

New Castle Democrat.
How Democrats of the Sixth congressional
district are encouraged to keep up the hard work
of party organization has quite recently been
practically demonstrated. Some weeks since q
coiored postal clerk on the l.. B. & W. run, be-
tween Columbus and Indianapolis, rendered his
resignation. AS this was somewhat of home
run" to New Castle Democrats, they were mott
fed of the prospective vacancy by friends on
the inside, and one or more made application for
the place. They were informed that the ap.
pointment belonged to another district-that of
southern Indiana Yet when the place was
filled another colored man was called to the
front; but, 10, from the Indianapolis district
This was not pleasant to those who soughtgthe
place; yet no great amount of kicking was in
dulged in. The circumstances, with all its at
tendant injustness and unfairness, was
almost forgotten, when the suspension of VIM
E. Livezey, of the Vandala route, was reported
with an Ohio man to succeed him. Now, here
is a man who does not only belong to our dis
trict but to our own city, and yet the rule Of
supplying vacancies from the district wherein
they occur does not apply; but whosoever may
have control OF patronage in this section has
permitted an Ohio congressman to knock him
ont" and perpetrate another outrage upon our
Democratic boys. It would seem, in the light
of these facts, that the Democrats of the Sixth
congressional district have no rights that any,
one must respect They may sometime turn
and sting the hand that smites them.

Getting Ready for a wallopinr.

Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
The Democratic party of Indiana is in train
ing for the best walloping it has had for many
years It is following the infamous example of
the party in Ohio, and preparing schemes of the
vilest sort to defeat the will of the people in the
recent elections. Why should Democratic lead
ers of experience be so shortsiehted as to at
tempt an outrage on the highest principle of our
government, and seek by fraud to set aside the
verdict Of a majority of voting citizens2 They
must know that disaster is sure to overtake them
sooner or later, and that temporary advantages
gained by illegal means will react against them
and sink them 80 deep in the mud that they will
be years crawling out and getting their clothes
cleaned.

A Fraudulent Judge.

Letter in Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
To-day man is occupying the bench Of the
Criminal Court whose election was procured by
the most eiaring fraud and forgery of the re-
turns. He, himself only q few months ago. in
an attempt TO perpetrate fraud on the ballot
box, couseled and assisted in bursting open q
ballot-box with Ratchet, in violation of all law.
Yet he now presides at the trial of those charged
With oftenses against the penal laws of the
State. His very nomination for the Office was
brought about by the most persistent law
breakers In the land. He was their candidate,
their political chattel, and when he was de-
featea by the people, he was counted in by for
geries perpetrated by the same lawless gang
that procured his nomination. What a travesty
on justice, law and order it is to see him upon
the bench

The Republican party of Indiana has made cer-

an honest effort to carry out these pledges and
should it fail do so, it will be useless for it to

plead the excuse that its hands were tied by

fort, an honest and untiring effort, to SECURE

failure follows. the responsibility will rest where
it belongs-upon the Democratic party. Any

Congressman Matson does not reflect the
views of the Indiana Democracy when he says
there is no hostility toward the administration
in this State. 1t would be far better for Sena-
tors and members of Congress to tell the Presi-
dent frankly and honestly what his party think
of him, rather than continue this masquerading
for the purpose of securing a few parry Offices
which the President grudgingly gives them.

ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. 22-Iu the recent State
election the Knights of Labor succeeded in
electine several Of their number to the Legisla-
ture, the most prominent of them being Mr..
Schofeld, of Bib county. Mr. Scne6eld has in
troduced and will press for passage in the Legis-
lature, bill to regulate labor, which derives
importance from the fact that it is the demand
of the Knights of the State The bill has shree
things in view The most important is the one
to fix the hours of labor which shall be exacted
of employees in manufactures. The word man
ufactories does not relate to railroads and sim
liar corporations. 1t is proposed that the hours
Of labor shall be restricted to ten. The second
thing the bill has in view is the pre-
vention of black-lsting Of employees.
The manufactures have system
of black-listing which prevents discharged
employees from obtaining employment The bill
proposes, in the event that an employee is pre-
vented from obtaining employment after being
discharged, except on the grounds OF lncom-
potency bad conduct, to make the employer
liable for damages. The third thing relates to
notices to omit At present employees are re-
qured to give notice to employers of their inten-
ton. Employers are not required to give such
notice. The bill proposes to place employer and
employees in this matter or the same legal foot
ing; that is, it proposes to require notice from
either or both Mr.. Scho6eld says bill will be-
introduced to create Bureau of Labor Stats

maintaining it will be but little. Mr.. Schofeld

The Vote on the Convict Labor Amendment
Will Be Canvassed.

SPRINGFIELD. Nov. 22-Judge Creighton
rendered his decision on the convict labor con-
stitutional amendment to-day He denied the
application of Howard ct al. for an injunction to
restrain the State canvassing board from can
vassing the vote cast for the amendment at the
late election. He held that the bill did not con-
tain sufficient reasons to warrant the granting
Of restraining writ at this time. In other
words he was of the opinion that the bill was
premature; that If the amendment was uncon-
stitutional that fact could be sseertained later
on. and by other methods. The petitioners, by
their attorneys, gave notice that an appeal
would be taken.
