THE COMMUNE FESTIVAL.

The anniversary Of the Paris Commune
of IL was honored in this city by the
German Section of the Socialist Labor
Party last Sunday evening. There was
IN entertaining musical program, in
GLIDING choruses by the lIarugari Lied
ertafel, Baritone Solos by Mr.. +. Woehl-
ert, Bandonion Solos by Mr.. l.. Soltau,
and Violin Solos by young lady pupil
of Edward Balck, the accomplished vio-
linist There were also declarations by
Messrs. Gutzeit and Baumann. The pro-
gram was well carried out, save that the
speaker $. Schewitsch, of New York
who was engaged failed to put in an
appearance. The committee should not
be blamed for this, as they had the as
slrance, printed in the l0iks4eituag that
he would come A number of letters to
him remained unanswered and at the
last moment, the committee requested
Paul Zimmerman to make the memorial
speech. This he did in such an accept
able manner that, aside from the desire
to see IA person who has been talked about
considerably, the audience lost nothing
by the disappointment. Mr.. Paul Zim-
mermann skillfully reviewed the history
of the events of n and applied the lesson
to the people of this day and nation,
holding the close attention of his audi
ence, and eliciting hearty applause IA he
ended. The festival was in every way a
success.

The organ of the american system"
of protection. the Giobe-Demoerat, de-
clared, short time ago, that the works
at Carondelet had shut down on ac-
count of tariff agitation, and, in the
sa me article, stated that with a capital
of S125, 900, they had. in the past year,
cleared from S250.000 to $500, 900. Un-
der the administration of Mr.. CIeve-
land the times have been more pros
porous and more has been manufa ctur-
ed than in the five years preceding his
inception to office. When Mr.. Jones,
a man of intelligence, asserts that the
message of Mr.. Cleveland is .'free
trade document" he asserts what is
not warranted by the facts;-he asserts
what is not true. We answer his
charge by asking him to clear his or
gans of vision. and read the portion of
the Message bearing upon that subject.
Read it carefully dispassionatly, and
it will do you good. 1t is the truth,
and truth is mighty aud will prevail!
Here it is:
These interests constitute the leading and
most substantial element of our national
greatness and furnish the proud proof of our
country's progress. No demand is
made that they shall forego all the benefits of
governmental regard. 1t is not proposed to
entirely relieve the country of this taxation.
1t must be extensively continued as source
of the Governments income, and in the
REIMBURSEMENT of our tar # the interests of
american labor engaged IN manufacture
should be carefully considered, as we'll as
the preservation of our manufactures. 1t
may be called protection, or by any other
name, but relief from the hardships and
dangers of our present tariff laws should be
devised with special precaution against
inaperiltng the existence of our naanufdctur-
ing interests. ALI will acknowledge
the force of an argument which involves the
,oe!fdre and liberal compensation of our
idbOring people. Our labor is honorable in
the eyes OF every american citizen; and as it
lies at the foundation of our development
and progress, it is entitled, without affecta-
ton or hypocrisy, to the utmost regard. The
standard of our laborers' life should not be
measured by that of any other country less
favored, and are they entitled to their full
share of all our advantages. But
the reduction of taxation demanded should
be so measured as not to necessitate or
justify either the loss of employment by the
workingman, nor the lessening of his wages;
and the profits still remaining to the manu-
facturer after IL necessary readjustment
should furnish no excuse for the sacrifice of
the interests of his employees either in their
opportunity to acork or in the diminution of
their cOUaDeus1tiOn

The Tariff and the Strike.

There are nearly or quite 100, 900
iron-workers now on strike in Pitts
burg. and surrounding coke and iron
centres, and the strike has been pre-
cipitated by demand from the highly
protected employers that the working
men accept reduced wages. The ques-
ton is SO clearly stated by the Evening
Telegraph of this city, Republican
journal that is supporting the election
of Harrison, that we print it:
There appears to be a good many
sides to the tariff problem and men of
ordinary intellectual capacity may well
be excused if they give up the solution
of it in despair. This contention of
the operators and operatives of the iron
mills has some exceedingly perplexing
complications and obscurities; it even
seems to suggest that the very highest
duties which can be imposed for the
protection of an infant industry which
has grown quite venerable as to years,
does not protect at all the wages of
labor.
The highest protected of all our in
dustries is that of iron and steel; it is
the most coddled and petted and wrap
ped in lambs wool protection of them
all, and yet here are the capitalists and
laborers employed in it contending
about the question of wages. Labor is
not asking for more, but capital is ask
ing-insisting too, by shutting its mills
against labor-that it shall take less,
as much as one-tenth less.
Mr.. Jones, eX-chairman of the Re-
publican national committee and a
cast-iron and steel capitalist, one of the
largest in the country, says that the
continual agitation of the tariff ques-
ton ami the prospect of the reduction
of the duties on iron and steel have in
duced buyers to withhold their orders
until the reduction takes place, when
they can buy their supplies cheaper.
This is exceedingly tiresOme, drearily
stupid, senseIess driveI; for when was
there not tariff agitation? When, dur
ing the last eight or ten years, was
there not a bill before Congress to re-
duce duties and extend the free list?
Why do the iron employers, who are
highly protected not only by the pres
ent tariff but also by the provisions of
the Mills bill. insist upon reduction
of wages to workingmen when they
not only demand, but contribute mon
ey literally to maintain excessive taxes
upon the neeessaries of life which are
consumed by labor?
Why not come at once to common
honesty with labor and propose to end
the wanton robbery of workingmen by
exacting from 40 to so cents of each
dollar they earn when expended from
what they most need in their homes?
This robbery of labor can't last, and
the more money contributed by en-
ployers to debauch elections and main
tain monopoly taxes, the more over
whelming will be the revolt of labor
against its oppressors. Honesty will
command the trust of labor; oppression
i'm taxes and corruption in politics will
surely breed labor revolution.-Phila-
delphia Times.

During the prevalence OF the terrific
thunder shower early yesterday afternoon
the lightning played some very bold
freaks, One of these was manifested
quite forcibly at the city hall. The light
ming came in on the electric light wires,
melted out a portion of the fastenings,
and several drops of the melted metal
falling on the table set some Of the papers
on fire, and had it mot been for the fact
that Judge Kuykendall was there the
building would probably have been set on
fire. The lightning also partly democrat
lied a telephone pole in another part of
the CITY.

a FURIOUS STORM.
A heayy Rainfall Which Flooded the
Streets.

Two exceptionally heavy thunder storms
visited Cheyenne early yesterday afternoon
and for a time it seemed as though we
were to have a young flood on our hands.
The rain poured down in perfect torrents
and between the city and Camp Carlin
occurred during the prevalence of the first
storm what in Common parlance is denom-
ina.ed a cloud burst" the effects of
which began to manifest themselves in
the western part of the city very soon,
and the streets in the vicinity of the west
end school house resembled rivers OF run
ming water.
Hardly had the first shower cleared
away when the second one came, and
this fairly deluged everything right and
left, and as the result great streams of
water ran down the principal streets, and
some lively work had to be done, espe-
cially on Eddy street to prevent the base
ments along that portion of the city from
filling with water. The thunder and
lightning during the time when these
storms ragged was absolutely terrific and
the wind also blew with considerable
force.

RAILROAD LANDS.
The Board of Equalization Adjust
Their Valuation.
The Amount of Railroad Lands in
Laramie County.
More Than 800, 900 Acres---The
Clerks Work.

Yesterday County Clerk Jeffrey en-
tered upon a new branch of work which
by the action of the county board of equal.
ization late on Saturday afternoon has
been ordained for him to do in addition
to the ordinary duties of the county clerk
in connection with the work of the board
Of equalization. This work thus entered
upon is to remotely land owners all
through tie county that the valuations
heretofore placed on that class of lands
known as railroad lands have been
readiusted by the board. The valuations
were fixed heretofore by the board and
the proper notice given, but as the law
provides that if at any time the valua-
tons on PROPERTY are changed in any re-
spects the parties interested shall receive
notice.
1t should be explained here that what
is meant by railroad land is land that
has been acquired of the Union Pacific by
purchase and all of this land is to be found
within a twenty mile limit north and
south of the line of road in this county.
The original land grant to the Union Pa
ciic included each alternate section within
twenty miles of the road on the north and
south side respectively and for a long
time because the company had not OBJ
tanned patents for these lands they were
exempt from taxation. Now however
the case is different. The company has
not only obtained the patents but has
sold these lands to third parties and they
are now subject to taxation as are other
lands in this county.
The valuations originally placed on these
lands by the commissioners we're $I.25
and IS cents per acre but by the action
of the board on Saturday these values
were changed to 81 and 60 as being the
respective value per acre of these two
classes of railroad lands, the di ference in
value being regulated to a large extent by
the location.
There are now IN this county about
'S75,000 acres of this railroad land and
there are several individuals and compa-
MES who W large bodies-as for instance
the Bay State Cattle company nov OWNS
and holds nearly 1877, 900 acres OF this land
and there are several other companies
that WI and control quite large bodies
In some instances counting up into the
tens of thousands of acres.
The territorial board of equalization,
consisting Of Governor Moonlight, Audi
tor Grant and Treasurer Voorhees,, and
which meets in this city on the second
Tuesday in August, will fix the valuation
on railroad property, that is on the rolling
stock and road beds, and will e~qualize the
valuations placed on all railroad property
but will not as some suppose have any
thing to do in fixing the valuations on
these railroad lands, of which mention
has here been made.

A new idea has materialized in Chey-
enne, or, rather, it materialized before it
got here. 1t is an apparatus which can
be attached to a stove and with a water
tank and a small oil can partly filled it is
so arranged by means of pipes, valves,
etc., that when the combination reaches
the stove where a fire is kindled it be-
comes water gas, which can be turned on
and off at will. 1t is claimed that six
cents will cover the cost of keeping an
ordinary sized stove running for most of
the day.
