London Commonweal.
In the Carloway and Shabast
districts the cotters have demol-
ished the fences of the sheep-farm
of Upper Dalbeg which was for
merly occupied by crofters. The
cotters in the townships Of Cal
lernish and Braesclete have in.
vaded the great sheep run of
Lindshadder, in the parish of Zig,
and have threatened to demolish
the dykes and fences which divide
it'from the crofting townships.
The run includes a large area of
good arabic land formerly in the
possession of thirty-eight croftlng
townships, and from which the
people we're evicted some years
ago. News from the Ness district
confirms the reports respecting
the demolition of the fences and
dykes fMr. Murdo Macfarquhar's
sheep-farm, while the fences and
dykes of Gibson sheep-farm have
been partly demolished. Similar
work has been going on in the
districts of Ness, Barvas and

GOMPERS' LECTURE.
A Fine Audience Enjoy q Treat at the
Rink-Gompers Delivers Straight
Labor Speech.

Samuel Gompers, president of
the Federated Trades. arrived in
Denver on Wednesday. A CON-
mittee of the Trades Assembly at
once proceeded to make the gen.
tleman's stay in Denver as pleas
ant as possible and in pursuance
of that object escorted him to va
rious points Of interest around the
city.
On Thursday evening a large
audience, presided over by S. w.
Isenberg, president of the Trades
Assembly, greeted the lecturer at
the rink. The fact that the time
intervening between the delivery
of the lecture and the time of 60
ing to press is but a few hours
prevents the giving of even an in
telligible condensation.
The lecturer discussed labor's
condition at present; the great
and pressing need of organization;

showed the fallacy of trying to
build up great labor organization
on principle based on non-rec-
ognition of the autonomy of the

baker should not be allowed to
decide matters relating to the car

ishness of allowing the autocratic
power of one man to order thou
sands of men to strike or when on
strike to resume work, like a
drove of cattle; proved that any
scheme to benefit the race must
operate first on the, lowest strata
of society; demonstrated the great
good which will result from the
shortening of the hours of labor;
made it plain that the only differ
ence between the old rotten par
ties was that one was in at the
public crib and the other wanted

like, supports world of parasites;
showed clearly how wages are
paid upon the basis of how little
the workingman demands as nee
essaries-if he will live on cheap
and poor fare his wages will be
cheap and poor.
In concluding his lecture Mr..
Gompers said that while the divid-
ing line between each organization
would be rigidly observed in the
Federation, it was the fact that
that that line shall be so narrow
that we can all feel the touch of
shoulders as we march on to a
glorious victory.
After the lecture the chairs
were removed and dancing COM

SHENANDOAH, Pa, Feb. 3.-The
striking miners here have at last
overstepped all bounds and they
have been rioting up and down
the streets in full possession Of
the town.
At 5 O'Clock, when the scabs
left their work in the Shenandoah
City and West Shenandoah collier
les, lot of striking Polanders
attacked them with stones and a
squad of half a dozen Pinkertons
went at once to their assistance.
They caught one of the rioters
and were fastening him off when
this strikers rallied and rescued
him and began to handle the Off
GERS roughly.
The latter, however, succeeded
in breaking away and started for
the Shenandoah City mine, fol-
lowed by a crowd of riotous
strikers, who now numbered
about 1000, and who continued
their attacts on the men and boys
coming from the mine. The six
Pinkertons accepted the long odds
against them and returned the
attack. They made sharp attack
and took a couple of prisoners,
one of whom they landed in Mag
istrate Shoemaker's office, but the
crowd rushed for the two Pinker-
tions with the prisoner and began
to club and beat them. Finding
themselves thrown down they
drew their revolvers and fired into
! the crowd, which scattered in all
directions.
The two magistrates offices are
one on East Centre street, a square
and a half.apart. The whole space
was densely packed with people,
a large portion being Polish, who
were wild with passion. They
surrounded both officers, yelling
for the officers andsaying: Lynch
them!" "kill them" etc. Suddenly
a stone was thrown at Squire Shoe
makers window and in a minute
the fronts of both offices were rid
died with stones and their inmates
had a tough scramble for safety.
Captain Christian will move his
whole force of coal and iron men
here tomorrow, with Captain
Lynden's Pinkerton men.
WILKEsBARRE, Feb. 3.-District
assembly Io, which closed up a
three days session at Pittston this

afternoon that it was resolved to

and Wyoming valleys.
SHENANDOAH, Feb. 5.-No riot
ing occurred to-day. The Poles
say they will prevent any men
from going to work in the morn
ing. The Pinkertons are armed
with Winchester rifles and say
they will protect the miners.

The Biggest Meeting or the Year Held
at the Academy.

at the Academy.
Every seat in Warren's dancing
academy was filled on Sunday
evening with interested spectators
who desired to hear the socialists
The absence from the city of the
regular chairman, Miss Mccarthy,
necessitated the election of a tenn
porary presiding officer.
The choir sang labor song,
after which Mrs. Cochrane and
Mr.. Emmons gave the second
lesson OF the socialist catechism,
"The Capitalist System"
Arthur Cheesewright gave, in a
well-prepared paper, the objects
of the League. The prime object
was to tell the truth regarding the
causes of and remedies for pow
erty. Poverty, misery and degra-
dation are unnatural conditions,
and, being so, it is the duty OF
honest men and women to find
out if possible the proper reme-
dies tor these diseased conditions
of the race. The speaker paid
some attention to the unchristian-
like sentiments of some of the
Denver ministers regarding the
agitators who were hung in Chi
cago.
]. II. Jack followed Comrade
Cheesewright. taking for his sub
ject the Catholic church and its
antagonism to progressive ideas.
The speaker maintained that that
church had always stood as a bar
to the advancement of the race;
had taught its priests to keep the
ignorant in a thralldom made pos
sible by the density of their blind,
unreasoning faith in a mass OF
dogmas and heathenish supersti-
tions born back in the centuries
when men we're servile slaves.
Father McGlynn had taken the
side of the people as against the
rich robbers. consequently the
Catholic church, true to its record
as the ally of power, wealth and
corruption, accommodated him
He taught that the land belonged
to the people and that did moi
please the rich nor the Catholic
church.
The speaker used copious ex'
tracts from writer's, all of which
made telling points. But the
very bitter-to the verge of fool
ishness-character of the com
ments" upon the extracts made
use of in a great measure spoiled
the effect on the mind of the
listener and weakened the point.

Raynor Of Maryland.

York Star writing from Washing
ton gives the following interesting
account of the fight made by
Raynor of Maryland in the house
on the question of referring the
Reading investigation to special
committee of the house:
Mr. Raynor reused the enthusi-
asm of the house and galleries in
his opening sentence, and round
after roundgreetedhim although.
When he concluded the applause
was renewed and the speakers
gavel could not bring the house
to order for FIVE minutes. Mr.
Raynor had his hand grasped by
forty men and the request of the
majority of the commerce CON-
mittee was doomed beyond per-
adventure.
Mr.. Clardy (Mo. }, the chairman
of the committee, in presenting
the majority report said it was en-
tirely within the province of the
commission to investigate it.
Then Mr.. Raynor arose. "When
money combines to drive labor to
starvation's point" he cried, ia
Dor has the God-given right to
battle against it by any and every
means within its power. If we
track this trouble to its fountain
head we will find that a lordly
clan, that an Infamous trust, has
alone provoked it. Why should
we politely request the interstate
commerce commission to take up
a matter which is clearly in our
province to investigated Let US
at once probe to the bottom of
this crying evil, and it will be the
forerunner offhat which will break
up these terrible landings to-
gather of organizations called
trusts which threaten the destruc-
tion of our commercial fabric.

terrible to encounter, but have

demanded the course taken by
the gentleman.

Mr.. Grosvenor said that if the
Reading company were acting un-
constitutionally relief should be

warranto proceedings.
Mr. Raynor said that it was we'll

did with such applications.
Mr.. O'Neill (Pa.) said he re-
sented such suggestions. He
wanted to know if there was any
evidence that the Reading COM
pany sought to prevent the inves-
tigation. He knew that it did not.
why not pass the resolution,
then," said Mr.. Raynor.

Cries of''Vote! Vote!" arose.
Mr.. Davis of Massachusetts re-
ferredto the failure of the investi-
eating committee on the Mis-
souri Pacific railroad strike.
Mr.. Burns of Missouri reminded
him that twenty-four hours after

Treatment of Young Trees.

Professor Goessman, of Amherst,
Mass, calls attention to the Importance
of the after care of trees newly trans.
planted. He says:
1t often happens that trees received in
good condition and very carefully planted,
fail to grow. from want of after care.
This, for the first season, consists in see.
ing that sufficient supply of moisture is
present about the roots.
In time Of drought, watering may be
avoided by covering the ground for sew
eral feet about the tree with mulch, five
or six inches deep, or by stirring the sur
face soil once or twice each week. Trees
planted in turf are especially liable from
the moisture being taken up by the sur
rounding grass roots. This. can only be
prevented by covering the ground with a
mulch of any waste material, like corn
stover, old hay, straw, shavings, sawdust,
fine brush, cider ponace, meadow mud or
peat
The same result may be obtained by
packing the loose stones often found
about the tree. Mulching material of any
kind should not be in contact with the
trunk of the trees from Nov. to May /,
unless they are protected by banking up,
or by tin or tar paper band about them
to protect from injury by mice.

Celery is often grown as a second crop

SEN6LIsH METHOD OF HURDLING SHEEP.
The above engraving shows how
these hurdles are made and the method of
using them. A row of these hurdles is
placed across the field. The field in which
they are used consists of six acres. A
strip of ten feet wide is thus set off, upon
which 400 sheep feed. They eat up all
the grass upon this strip and that which
they can reach by putting their heads
through the hurdles. The hurdles are
then turned over. exposing another strip
rather more than four feet wide at each
turn. When this is fed off, the hurdles,
are again turned over. The sharp points
presented by the hurdles prevent any
trespassing on the other side of them, and
by using two rows of hurdles the sheep
are kept in the narrow strip between
them. Their droppings are very evenly
spread over the field, and it is richly fer.
tilted by them. At night the sheep are
taken off. The growth of the grass con-
tinues under this treatment, and when
the field has been fed over, the sheep are
brought back again to the starting point
and commence once more eating their way
along.
