EUREKA!
A Poor Mans Lucky Discovery.

Everybody will no doubt be surprised
to learn that at = distance OF about one
and half miles from town in s0uth-
westerly direction, has been discovered
what now promises to be gold mine
abounding in such quantities of the
precious metal as TO justify sinking a
shaft and working the same. By the
simplest accident the discovery was
made by Mr.. -, we withhold his
name for the present. He had been
working the mine for coal, and few
weeks ago whilst taking 4 rest from his
labors. observed small particles Of
shining metal and out of curiosity took
some of it home with him and sho we'd
it to an old and experienced western
miner . I'D was surprised to hear him
excIaim "By golly you've struck It
rich." After exacting pledge from
the miner to keep his secret and receiv-
ing from him proper directions to have
his specimens assayed, was yesterday
In receipt of intelligence that from tho
specimens sent the yield would be from
$3.50 to $50 per ton ut present.
The mine Is situated on the side Of a
mountain and it surprises everybody
that 1t has not becn discovered before
this. Several years ago the owners At
tention was called to the fact that coal
existed on his land and be went to
work developing it but was merely
ekeing out an existence at the business,
but this will now be changed, and the
poor man of yesterday will soon count
his wealth by thousands.
Specimens from the mine are now in
the hands Of several gentlemen, and
the lucky finder will soon find himself
surrounded by many more friends than
eyer called upon him in his advereity.
We are rejoiced ut so valuable dis
covery In our midst and expect that the
influx of immigration attracted thereby
will drive dull times away.

Railroads and tho People.

The Searcy Beacon thinks that
whether the strikers arc right or
wrong, the railroads ought to be COM
PEELED TO perform their duty to the
public by running trains and moving
freight. 1t says:
"When q railroad corporation asks
franchise from state, privilege
Of building and operating road
through its territory, it virtually un
dertakes and obligates itself TO re-
ccive and transport the passengers
and freight asking conveyance, with
out delay, and for fair considera
ton. The charter does not specify
that the service shall only be rem
dered when they can obtain labor at
q specified rate Of wages to be paid
to their employees. They agree to
perform their contract without delay,
unless prevented by causes beyond
human foresight or control, such as
storms, floods, FIRE, dc. They are
not relieved from the obligation on
account OF any advance in wages de-
manded By their employees. The
price Of the service that they will
have to pay for conducting the bus
mess is not made a condition Of the
charter.
The market for labor, like that for
everything else, 10 subject to fluctua
ton. The owner Of a house on fire
might we'll afford to pay ten dollars
per hour for labor that he could or
dinarlly secure for dollar day.
The emergency increases the value
OF the service, and the price would
be small consideration, as long as
the necessity lasted. An advance in
the wages required by operatives
ought not to be permitted to hinder
travel, stop the commerce Of large
sections of country. paralyxe trade,
bring want and discomfort TO thous-
ands Of innocent sufferers. The con-
tract should be filed regardless of
cost, or the charter surrendered. On
the other hand the state undertakes
TO protect all OF its citizens in both
person and properly, corporations,
as we'll as individuals, from trespass
and lawless destruction, from VIC
lence or threatened violence, at what
ever cost might be incurred in doing
90.
Ii ono man voluntarily surrenders
his employment and pay, thereby
making room for another who is will
ling to perform the service, it is
clearly the duty Of The state to afford
protection to the man at work, against
the violence, insults aud intimida-
tons OF the slisanected striker. No
man has a legal or moral right to say
that he will not perform legitimate
work himscli nor permit another to
do 80.
Railroads ought to De compelled
to run their trains regularly regard
less Of the cost, or be made TO sur
render their charter, and the state
should protect their employees while
in the discharge Of their duty. Is
tho arm OF the state too weak to do
lii? II Mr.. Hoxie really desires to
run his trains and permit the busi
ness OF the road TO continue, he can
do II by simply offering an induce
ment In the form Of wages that will
secure men enough, we'll fitted for
| the business outside OF the Knights
OF Labor, Who should be protected in
their persons while performing their
| work"

CARNIYAL CLTRs.

Complaint is made that the members Of
the various tOboggan and snOwshOe clubs
who propose 10 take part in the carnival
exercises are not taking sufficient interest
in the matter. The complaint is that the
members are not regular in their attendance
at the various meetings Of the clubs, and
that great many of them are not provid-
ing themselves with uniforms. IL these
complaints are well founded one excuse for
the apparent Indifference is that the weather
has been so open great many people were
not satisfied In their own minds that We
were going to have an ice palace. Now that
doubts on that score are removed by the
present condition of the temperature, there
will be more interest manifested. Another
trouble has been that some persons of lin
tied means VINO have joined these clubs
find that the cost Of uniforms and equip
ments is more than they feel justified in
expending This difficulty can be over
come. it is not necessary that the uni
forms shall be- made by tailOrs. The snow
shoe uniform is made of the common white
wool blanket, which can be had for ST. so
or So. The suit is easily made, and can be
manufactured by any lady who is familiar
with the use of sewing machine.
Inasmuch rs it is desirable that
these clubs shall De composed Of
a numerous membership in order
to add to the interest and effect of the cani-
val, and it is also desirable that the mem-
bers shall appear on each public occasion in
full uniform. Several suggestions have
been made relative TO securing these ends.
One suggestion that has been submitted TO
the GLOBE is that the ladies OF the city
who are willing TO contribute TO the success
of the carnival shall organize a sewing circle
for the purpose Of making uniforms for the
various clubs. Another suggestion is that
the CLUBS arrange 10 let the work Of making
their uniforms to the poor sewing women
of the city, who would be glad 10 get the
work at reduced rates. As these sug-
gestions have been made to us, the GLOBE
submits them TO those who are interested
in the matter for what they are worth.

THE MoRMoN QUESTION.

Senator MORGAN of Alabama solved the
whole Mormon problem in his speech i'm the
senate on Thursday when he said Mormon
ism is an establishment of vice and not of
religion. Ii might possibly pass for a re-
ligion in China or the Congo, which is
doubtful, but 10 attempt to dignity il in
that way in enlightened America is an alb
surdity. Senator TELLER only makes him
self ridiculous when he talks about having
sympathy for their religious belief. The
Mormon church is nothing more or less
than a shrewd temporal organization which
has arrayed itself in hostility to the
authority of the United States. and
there is only one way for the
government to deal with it, and
that is to strike it out of existence. There
is no room for the play of sentiment in
handling the Mormon question. The govern
ment only lowers its own dignity and lessons
respect for its authority when it undertakes
TO handle the subject with soft-gloved
hands. Instead of appointing a commission
to manage this establishment of iniauity
congress ought to give il the cancer treat
ment, cut it out root and branch. Ex-Sec-
retary TELLER's theory of handling Nor
monism with yelvety touch lest the govern
ment expose itself to the criticism of per-
scouting religious sect is little too far
fetched to strike the average American
with force. He thinks that the Mormon
church can be reformed of the crime of
polygamy and makes the plea that
the government ought TO convert
itself into a reformatory school for
the purpose of educating these deluded
people up to better life. He forgets that
so far as the government is effected by the
existence of MormOnism in this country,
polygamY is only one of the many Incl
dental vices connected with it. He over
looks the fact that the Mormon church is n
powerful political organization, being or
ganized within the limits of the United
States government for the express purpose
of defying its authority and of building up
an oligarchy independent of this government.
Mormonism is not fanatieism. There may
be deluded fanatics. and plenty of them,
who are inveigled into church connection
with it. But the leaders of the Mormon
church are shrewd, ambitious and unscru-
pulous politicians. who are thirsting for
power. and who have brought to bear
wonderful amount of organizing yigor

owing to the late hour when the speaking
began. He said:

An old Democrat was present and said they
had Deen poktng about into the wounds 70

been selected TO respond to that toast,
and maybe he would find that thing.

milk OF kindness in him said.

hope to make it the entering wedge
by which final separation shall be
accomplished. There is so much relief
for Ireland in the GLADSTONE measure
that it will be accepted By the Irish people
with feelings Of profound gratitude. 1t is
in effect picking up Ireland from the dust
in which it has been trOdden for centuries
and placing it on the foundation OF national
manhood. 1t gives to Ireland the power
10 crush out all the systems of land tenures.
OF landlOrdism and all the relics OF feudal
times, which have been left 10 curse the
Emerald isle. 1t is noteworthy in this con-
nectiOn that in formulating his measure for
an Irish government Mr. GLADSTONE has
taken the state governments of this cOun-
try as his model. 1t is probable that the
great English statesman is looking still
farther ahead. He is probably looking for
ward to the time when not only Ireland,
but the whole of Great Britain shall have a
government constructed on the principles
of our American institutions.
