Some one from the East has sent to
Rev. j. Y. Cowhick a paper published in
London which is called the Matrimonial
Netos, and is devoted almost wholly to
advertisements of parties who wish to
correspond with the view to matrimony.
The paper has been published with this
as its sole and only feature for more than
sixteen years, aud is certainly a curiosity
to see and read.

in replacing the white employees upon

NY informant states that he had let
ter some time ago from the scene OF
action to the effect that on August IL all
the white men were to be discharged
and Coolies put in their places, and he
declined to have anything to d with it.
Be that as it may, his statement is
worthy of consideration.
The seat of this trouble is about loo
miles from Portland. Oregon. and if it is
the purpose of the Central Pacific to dis
charge the "free American labor on its
grades and put in Cinnamon, there is a
strong probability of trouble. The peo-
ple of that section have already demon
strated that they have no love for Coolie
slave labor, or for the o-Chinese ele
ment to which the Central Pacific man.
agement belongs and, if this last story is
true, we NAV hear something drop in
the northwest before long.
1t makes no differe nee which of the
stories is true, the crime of permitting
gang of armed thugs to invade COM
munity to kill and butcher American
citizens is none the less. "Law and
order" is again dlsgraced, whether this
trouble be over rlght-of- way or the en-
ployment of Coolies.

This 'sagency' will and does send these
armed brutes to shoot down workingmen
peaceably contending for their rights;
to murder, at the behests of one rail-
road corporation the surveyors or other
employees of rival line to forcibly eject
law-abiding citizens off contested tract
of land or out of mine.
An item in Sundays Republican
stated that the manager of the Denver
branch of Thiel's detective agency had
received orders to send fifty men into
Washington territory, where there is q
contest, over right of way, between the
Northern Pacific and Central Pacific
railroad companies. The item does not
state which one Of these companies has
sent for the men; bat it does state that
"they will be heavily armed, and espe-
cially able to protect the interests OF
their employers This is sample.
Where is your boasted law2 Cannot
it decide which of these railroad COM
panies is in the wrong; or must it be
left to the arbitration of the Winchester
and Colts? How about the all sutf1-
cheney of legal authority to protect the
rights of citizens and maintain the
majesty of the law? The law is farce,
ala
In this grand country where the law
is supreme and the power of its execu-
tors invincible, fifty armed men, with
out any legal authority, without the
slightest backing of law, rush with blood
in their eyes to protect the interests OF
their employer" regardless of who that
employer is or what is his cause.
The "agency" thugs are recruited to
make money for their managers by muir
dering whoever they are paid to muir
der and workingmen upon strike could
hire them to shoot from their side If
they could pay the price. These agen-
cies are kept up by the wealthy employ
ers of labor, for the purpose of forcing
their claims, in opposition to law; and
SO long as they are permitted law will
be laughing stock, and government
farce. And while the workingmenha have
not the money to compete with the cor
porationists in obtaining the death-deal-
ing services of these assassins, they have
the God-given right to protect them
selves by any means at hand.
When the "authorities" do their duty
in breaking up these lawless, murderous
agencies" and show tnat they are "suf,
fcient" in this direction, then they will
be started on the road towards securing
the confidence and respect of the people
and not till then.

PRESIDENT GAGE, of the bankers as
sociation, put himself in rather a con
tradictorv position, at the recent con,
vention iu Boston. He frst took exCeD-
ton to Lord Macaulav's declaration that
the American constitution was call sail
and no anchor" and that in the next
century. if not in this, universal suffrage
would bring the United States to catas-
trophe in which "liberty or civilization
must perish" Mr. Gage, in answer to
this, called attention to the fact that the
suffrage had been extended in England
on acaulay's country and other E1rO-
pean countries to an almost extreme ex-
tent since Macaulay's prophecy. He
then went on to say that Americas
greatest danger lies in "the foreign ele
ments which are swarming on Its
Shores" Now, the absurdity of Mr..
Gage lies in The fact that he seemed to
forget that these foreigners are some of
the Europeans who have been granted
the right to vote during the past thirty
years Two edged illustrations will not
| work when you want to establish a one
sided truth.

QUIRER hasn't heard of anv Anarchists

the chance to make a workingman s

it would resp 9ctfullv suggest that the
courts of this section give an earnest Of

BRIBING THE JURY.

The Chicago Tribune contained in one
issue several propositions to raise fund
for the benefit of the jury that con-
victed the Anarchists. The sums named
range from $4,000 to 100000, to be
equally distributed among the twelve
men "who made conviction possible >
This movement was started, says one of
the would-be contributors. during the
trial; but "it was thought best not to
give it publicity until after the verdict
was given" AS to whether the subject
was quietly mentioned to the jury, be-
fore the verdict was made, we are at
liberty to decide for ourselves.
A good deal of gush about "the close
confinement" neglected business etc.,
is INDUCED in, but the reader with the
penetrating eye" can see more effecting
the future than there is bearing on the
past in this generous" move on the part
of the business men" of Chicago. Be-
tween the lines read sonnet hing like
this:
Attention All citizens who are
qualified to sit as Jurors will please take
notice, that from this time forward, the
capitalist class will pay bribe of from
81, 900 to $4,000 to each member of every
jury which decides against the people in
all cases where Right is contesting with
Might; money to be paid after the Jury is
discharged !"
Workingmen, you poor, ragged, hun
grY, penniless, starving, shivering, cow
ardly whelps. what do you think now?
Are you still satisfied to whine at your
masters dictation II have no svmpa-
thy with lawlessness in this country,
where all men are equal, there is no use
in going to extremes in quarrelling over
labor troubles?"
Out upon you, you shriveling, driveI-
ing ours, ye degenerate offspring of the
men of 1776! Raise your voices against
this last open stab at your liberties and
rights; let the woods and the plains
ring with the shouts of an enraged peo-
pie. For if you are not mad, you are
fools.

press generally the same old tactics of

labor, by making comparisons between
different wings of labor's army with

"THE OTHER SIDE"

Above is the title of book by Martin
A. Foran, member of congress from Ohio,
and well.known to organized labor
throughout this country. The book is
"a social study based on fact" and tol-
erably interesting story runs through it.
The object of the author is to depict
"the other side'' of the boycott, and this
Is done by showing up the practice of
blackllsting workingmen by combina-
tions of employers. AS romance it is
interesting and the love story is very
prettily written; but as contri button
to the study of the social question it will
cut very small figure. In his preface
the auther shows himself to be in very
cramped attitude, from which he OBJ
tains only superficial view of the pres,
ent economic aspect. This may be due
to the fact that he has been studying
the question lately from seat in the
rich mems congress.

THE ANARCHISTS, TRIAL.

The fatal ending to the trial which
has been foreshadowed in this series
of articles has at last been reached. The
weeks of agonized suspense have found
their elimination IN a verdict of guilty,
and the eight men who were indicted
upon the charge of the murder of police
men have been convicted of the crime
of Anarchlsm and Socialism and seven
sentenced to death. Such is the result
of submitting to the justice ofa Chicago
jury. What better could be expected
from a jury composed of business and
professional men, capitalists and favored
clerks?
There Is no pretense that the men
were convicted of murder. AS one juror
saws, they were determined that no
foreign malcontents should institute So
cialism in this country. They were con-
victed and sentenced simply and solely
because thev are Socialists or Anarchists.
According the latest reports wholesale
arrests of we'll known sYmpathizers are
to follow, and determined effort will
be made to crush out Socialism. The
future will show how vain such attempts
must be.
Motion has been made for new trial,
and 1t is intended to carry the case to
the supreme court. 1t is hoped that
there the verdict will be set aside. but
as l warned comrades at the beginning
of the trial, place no confidence in bour-

KNIGHTS IN CONVENTION.
Discussion of the Proposed Enlarge
ment of the Executive Committee.

CLEVELAND, May 27.-When the Knights
of Labor convention assembled this morning
the committee on laws appointed at Wednes-
days session laid a number of propositions
pertaining to the government of the order
before the body. The first proposition was
the enlargement of the executive board by
the appointment of six additional members,
increasing the board from five to eleven. An
increase in the number of the board is rem
dered necessary by the rapid growth Of the
order, which is twenty times larger now
than when the present board was instituted.
The proposition elected a long discussion,
which continued throughout the morning
and into the afternoon. There was una
nimity of sentiment in favor of a numerical
increase of the board, the discussion being
on the number and manner of their selection.
The maximum number proposed was one
member from each State The matter was
finally reeommitted to the committee The
time consumed by the discussion being so
great, none of the other propositions pre-
Sented by the committee were taken up.
The nature Of the. other propositions is
withheld until such time time as they prop
erly come before the convention.
New committees have been appointed.
One is the fraternal committee, who was
instructed to prepare an address to be pre-
sented to the National Grange at its next
SESSION. IL lS uiiqcISIoou thdt tne opJec1 VI
this address will be to induce the farmers of
the country to enroll themselves into the
Knights of Labor. The other committee is
the committee on legislation. Its duty is to
take charge of all measures in which labor is
interested, now pending in or which may
come before Congress.
1t was 1.30 p. m. when the convention,
after having been in continuous session
since o'clock this morning, took a recess
until a. m. tomorrow to give the committee
opportunity to devote the evening to their
business.
