ANOTHER SCRAP OF HISTORY.

In that bundle Of Inconsistencies misrep-
resentaticns and absurdities-the Jumbo
platform-the following little plank was
dovetailed in for the purpose Of catching
the votes of certain classes OF laboring men
who look to legislative action for the re-
quired projections:
THAT We favor such laws as will give to
mechanics, miners and laborers a first lien
upon all mines and structures upon which
they may perform labor
There is nothing in the plank that will
raise an objection from any reasonable
That is what the second legislative
assembly of Montana thought and in obedi.
ence to that sense Of justice which inspires
every purely Democratic body that legisla.
tive assembly enacted a law giving miners
the first lien upon the mines upon which
they performed labor. And that law would
be upon our statutes to-day if it were not
for Colonel Sanders. After the adjourn
ment of the legislature that gentleman went
all the way from Virginia City, the then
capital OF Montana, to Washington andby
reason OF his being a pronounced Republi-
can and in perfect political accord with the
administration. he succeeded in getting the
laws OF that session annulled, and hence
the lien law which the Republican party
now Processes to favor wen by the board
through the personal exertions of Colonel
Sanders alone.
In the light OF this history the cheek dis
played by the Republican standard bearer
nj nia ~ rfu in N0r{ono -, 49,,
this lien law plank in his platform is truly
His sincerity in putting it there
may well lie questioned. Miners should
make a note OF this little scrap of the po-
litical history Of the "war horse"

Grateful for q Favor.

A tough-looking man entered the sane
tum of a San Francisco paper recently and
said to the inmate:
"Are you the editor?'
"Yes sir" was the rep:y.
We'll, l have come to see you about a
piece in your paper one day last week
which says that my wife, who keeps a
candy store on street, is rather fond
of the society of young men"
II assure you," said the editor, as he
cast his eyes around the room in search OF
some weapon Of defense. and, seeing none,
looked out of the window to calculate the
distance to the ground. 81 had nothing to
do with the publication OF that article.
and the reporter who wrote that article
discharged last Saturday. But I will
have the false publication corrected with
pleasure"
Corrected? Why l wouldn't have it
corrected for $500. l expect to make q
fortune out OF it. Ny wife sold more candy
this week than she did the whole six
months before. and as l am not the man
forget a favor l just came around to
pay for the advertisement. Here's $25

KNIGHTS OF LABOR.

dispatch in yesterday mornings MINER
states that the strike, like the boycott,
must 60; in other words. that neither
strikes nor boycotts will be resorted to to
compel q settlement OF differences which
may arise between the employer and en-
ploye, and that o system OF arbitration
will be adopted to adjust such differences.
This declarotion is made without knowing
what action the great body will take at it's
annual meeting to be held at Richmond,
Virginia, commencing next Monday, the
4th inst.
Mr.. Powderly, who has been questioned
concerning the probable course OF the
knights upon the matter. says, according
to the San Francisco Chronicle, that the
meeting will be harmonious and that the
platform adopted will be such as will meet
the approval Of reasonable people in every
walk of life.
In discussing the subject of strikes and
boycotts, Mr.. Powderly adheres to the
view he has heretofore taken, that these
are remedies only to be appealed to as a
last resort, when all other methods Of at
tanning legitimate objects have failed. We
wish he had discussed them from the point
Of view of the benefit they accomplish. He
argues as il a strike and a boycott were
weapons calculated to injure employers,
not to iniurc employees, yet which employees
should be chary OF using from motives Of
kindness. The public would like to have
his opinion whether, on the &hole, the
strikes and boycotts of the past year have
helped or hurt the ~workingmcn engaged in
them. II, Of course, ~wase-earners are bene-
flied by throwing up employment and boy
cotting the employers Of labor, then the
weapons in question may properly be held
in terrorism over the heads OF recalcitrant
employers to compel them to yield to the
the blunderbuss which Lincoln's father
owned, which was more formidable at the
breech than at the muzEle, then we quite
see why Mr.. Powderly should insist that
they should only be used rs a last resort.
Perhaps the only Improvement on his plan
would be not to use them at all.
Mr.. Powderly says that the Knights, as
a body, do not propose to enter the politi.
cal field, but that individual members will
make themselves felt. and that they will
cooperate to accomplish their ends. This
is quite legitimate and proper. 1t will be
an improvement on present methods to
have workmen rejecting the control OF
bosses to vote intelligently for men and
measures. The danger which they will
have to guard against is the substitution
OF q labor boss for a political. Whenever
the voting strength OF the Knights becomes
a potent factor in the political field, some
boss will try to corral it and sell it out.
Against this danger it will be necessary for
the Knights to be on their guard.

Great Father knows that the Indians can.
not earn their v living he will give them
rations and blankets, but if he thinks they
are capable Of taking care of themselves
there will be no more Of the free lunch bust
