trench instead of increase the ex-
penses OF running the roads. Some
few CT the members of the petition
ing organizations may doubt the
truth Of the bosses assestion, but,
the well known conservatism Of the
officers Of the respective "Brother-
hoods will easily overcome the con
tenptible minority, and the bosses
will have things their own way at
the expense, perhaps, of wine sup
per or such little fees as are neces-
sary to placate honest labor leaders
on such occasions. How much more
genteel it is to petition than to issue
scale of prices, and notify their
employers that the labor of their
employees will cost them 80 and so
much after a certain date. Such
proceedings lead to strikes and lock-
outs which are inconvenient to the
employees and the public, and put
the employers in bad humor.
Let the trades unions and assem-
blies learn lesson from the gentle
servants of the railroad magnates,
and there will be no need of a labor
movement Workingmen should
always consider that their employers
know more about business than they
do. Some day they, too, may be-
come employers. and then they will
acknowledge that, after all, their
masters were right. And if they by
reason of their inferiorIty they should
never come to be bosses, they can at
least live out their humble lives in
faithful service confident of the cy-
erlasting reward freely given to the
meek and humble after they are
dead Amen.

OUR LOSS.

In the death of DIR. Adolph Douai
the Socialist Labor Party have lost
one of their most valued comrades
and counselors. lie was q stead fast
and tireess hattler against superlici-
ality and disorder, and his life was
well spent in the cause of humanity.
His Immediate co-workers in New
York and vicinity will most keenly
fee our common loss, while the
Party at large will sadly miss hiS
forceful pen.
But DR.. Douai's death is u blow
not only to the Socialists, but to the
labor movement, for his great heart
and bright intellect were devoted to
the emancipation of all proletarlans,
and his long career both in his ma
tive land and in the land of his adop.
tinn proved him fit cxemplar 70,
the younger men who are conscious
OF the duties imposed upon them by
the eternal law Of progress.
While we sincerely mourn his loss
let us ever pursue the pathway 1t
has pointed out, keeping within view
and earnestly striving for the glori
GUS goal of ial-Democracy, unde
whose benign reign The destruction
of civilization will not only be i'm
possible, but untold means of pro
gress and human happiness be IN
folded.
All honor to the memory of on
departed pioneer.

WHAT OTHERS SAY.
FREE COMPETITION.

The claim made by Henry George
in support of his land-tax scheme,
that it would abolish the evils of the
present wage-system, and by render
ing competition free and through
free competition and the interplay
Of the law Of supply and demand all
the present industrial evils would
disappear, is without doubt an erro-
neous claim. We can conceive OF
no system of taxation that would not
in the end fall upon the shoulders of
those who toll.
Society, under the present system,
may be likened to a race course, on
which all are placed, and in this
struggle for existence it is true that
cunning, craft, dishonesty and over
reaching is everywhere resorted to.
But the question arises-would the
removal of all the dishonest methods
quoted change ultimate results of a
competitive strife? Would we not
find in either case, fair or unfair,
that there would be those who would
be ahead in the race, others
filling the intermediary positions,
and just as necessarily, others
who would, from no fault of
their own, be found in the rear.
Under a competitive system, socie-
ty is necessarily divided up into up
per, middle and lower classes, and
class laws and class privileges is the
result. Free competition as a reme-
dy is a fallacy The wages system
is slave system. Organized labor
cannot be led away from this fact
The remedy for competition is coop
Grafton. How it is to be brought
about, whether by substituting the
State for the individual, or by the
establishment of cooperative branch
es of industry and gradually absorb
ing all industries is for the future to
develop.
As a valuable branch of skilled
workers, We have before us a mighty
work in building up a powerful
brotherhood of our craft. We, as
well as all other trades and
callings, are interested only in bring
ing to perfection our present natural
position in this evolutionary state.
Until we have reached full develop
ment in all that is possible through
local, national and world-combined
organizations, all political or violent
means will only result in retarding
the true movement by forcing issues
for which we as yet are unprepared.

That the special champions of
ignorance and superstition, the
"democratc' party leaders and Gre
publican" heelers should oppose the
"Blair Educational Bill" is not at
all surprising: but when the Prohi-
bitionists' organ of Connecticut
comes out against SO admirable a
measure, there would seem to be a
"nigger in the wood pile" And
what is the argument? Why, the
same that is used against Socialism
it "would check the growth of the
spirit of Self-reliance." Then why
don't the prohibitionists act consist
emily and allow the spirit of self
reliance and self-help' to assert itself
against the spirit of alcohol? lfany
body of citizens should be in favor
of the "Blair Bill" it is the Prohi-
bltionists. Socialist criticism OF the
blair Bill" would take an entirely
different standpoint.

The New York Tolkszeitung has
lost heavily by DR.. Douai's death, as
he was continually engaged with the
edltor-in-chief in the editorial de-

Party branches of New York, which
met on Sunday, all passed resolu-
tions of respect to his memory, and
the same regret was expressed in the
principal unions.

A Bostonian d. d. has written a
book endcavoring to show "Why
Priests Should Marry" We don't
think priests should marry, and the
church is quite right in discourging
it. The church might discourage
some other things, too. No, priests
should not marry, for it is bad
enough for the poor dcludcd people
to have to support the priests without
the additional burden of supporting
their wives. The church is IL sufli-
cient bride.

WAIT FOR THE CAR.
The Cheyenne Street hallway Opened
Yesterday at Noon,

Car No. l, of the Cheyenne Street
Railway company, a substantial and beau
tifully decorated piece of rolling stock was
placed on the track near the Inter Ocean
yesterday forenoon and was carefully in
spected by several hundred people and
enthusiastically praised for its fine finish
and beauty of workmanship.
Promptly at u o'clock, David Creath,
of Abney's stable, attached a horse to the
car and it was drawn to the terminus of
the line near the cemetery. Mr.. j. G.
Baird of the company, and several other
persons were passengers in the first
street car to make a trip in the Magic
City.
Although the track has been in place
for several months the contractors per-
formed their work so thoroughly that no
difficulty was experienced by spreading of
rails or other disagreeble features incident
to first trips.
During the entire afternoon the gaily
decorated car attracted a great deal of at
tention. 1t was the subject of many re.
marks and a never ending source o amuse-
ment to the boys, who insisted on riding
in defiance to the provisions of the inter
state commerce law.
During the first five hours the line was
in operation the fares paid amounted to
$ll.00.
That the line will pay is now certain,
that additional rolling stock will soon be
required is assured. j. G. Abney and
the company operate the line jointly.

A HINDU JEWELER.
Bangles of the Choicest Design Manufac,
ured from English F1orins.

Bangles of the Choicest Design Manufact-
ured from English F1orins.
One-of my companions, having made
a bargain with the smith, handed him
three English florins which he desired to
have manufactured into one bangle of
the choicest East Indian design and
workmanship. The coolie man heated
the coins, cpt 1eep into narrow pieces,
of which lRn OF 1ed the ends together,
using hammer and anvil, thus making
a bar four or five inches long, and,
as l remember, two or three lines in
width and thickness. Covering one
end of this strip of metal with damp clay,
to protect his fingers from the heat, the
bangle maker stuck the silver into the
diminutive charcoal fire, which he set
aglow by blowing through a tube similar
in appearance to q glass blowers pipe.
When the metal was at a dull red heat he
beat 1t soundly, forging it round and
smooth to the diameter of telegraph wire;
then, carefully bending it in a circle,
Joined the two ends, welding them to-
gether neatly and with dispatch. This
done, and the joint having been covered
with n rough mass of hot silver fashioned
into o ball of the size of a small cherry,
the Hindu held out the half finished
trinket for our inspection and approval.
He next smoothed and polished the sur
face of the ball by hammering; then he
graved and stamped it with various dies,
cutting simple, conventional patterns of
irregular design.
Next, having selected a small silver
serpent from an assortment of ready
made devices and charms which he kept
in a cocoanut shell, he plunged it into
the fire, and blew through his blowpipe
until the cobra became blood red. Pinch
ing the reptiles tail between two bits of
moist clay, the Hindu drew it from tho
fire, and before 1t lost its angry hue,
deity corkscrewed the emblem of i'm
mortality around the wire of the bangle
in four complete coils, all the time tap
ping the snake here and there gently
with his mallet, in this way fastening it
securely in its place. Plunging the orna-
ment into n calabash of cocoanut oil, he
waited till the serpent ceased kissing,
and the Indian bracelet was then ready
to be clasped en- the wrist of whomso-
ever gallant gentleman had in his mind
when he found it in his heart to give the
order for it.-William Agnew Patton.

Four Democrats and Five Republicans
In the City Council.

"We have met the enemy and we are
his'n" sadly mourned a local Democrat
last evening after the smoke of the battle
had cleared away and it became known
that the Republicans had captured every
thing in sight.
IRIS WARD.
In political parlancc Mr.. Griffin, the
Democratic nominee, was''snowed under"
receiving but S5 votes as against 1874 cast
for MI. Roberts, leaving a margin of 100
ballots for the latter. Mr.. Griffin takes
his defeat gracefully, saying that after serv-
ing in the council six year another term
was undesirable.
SECOND WARD.
There being no Democratic candidate in
the second ward, very little interest was
taken In the election. Mr.. Hebard re-
ceived sc votes.
THIRD WARD.
The contest of the day was the success
full attempt to defeat MI. Murphy, the
Democratic nominee in the third ward.
McGregorgor defeated him by twelve
votes.
The Judges and clerks of election were
as follows:
Firit ward-Judges, L. B. Spoor, l..
w. Warlaumont and L. G. jerks; clerks,
Frank Bon and Mr.. Stevick.

Ida Riner and J. D. Corey.
Third ward-Judges, Thos. Conroy,

II. L. Warner and Owen Mckay.
A Jew more than SOL votes were cast,
several being of the character denominated
scattering.
The election was quietly conducted and
good feeling prevailed. The day was
pleasant and a much larger vote would
have been polled but for the neglect of
many to pay poll taxes last month.

RAwLINs, Jan. 10.-At 3 o'clock this
afternoon Scott Vermillion, the passenger
conductor whose mysterious disappearance
Immediately after the wreck yesterday
morning caused so much anxiety, was at
Edison station, and said to be AL right"
Last evening two kilograms were re-
ceived in this city by friends OF the Yer

tanned more particulars than given above.
OF course Mrs. Vermillion, who held
up bravely in her great trial, was over
ioyed to learn that her husband was
found. He will reach Cheyenne on the
eastbound passenger train this morning.
One very remarkable fact in connection
with the dreadful accident is the premo-
milton of VermIllion. Several days be-
fore the catastrophe he stated to Mrs.
Vermillion that he felt that some dire
calamity was impending. He was some
what ailing at the time, and has not been
entirely well for several days.

MANGUVREING.
No attempt to permanently organize the
house was made. A pair of dissatisfied
Democrats had bolted the caucus nomina-
tons. To sum up the situation, there
were too many candidates for the coveted
speakership. The Republicans desired
that an adjournment ensue until 10 o'clock
this morning in order that they might
have an opportunity to create more dis
cord in the ranks of the opposition. A
motion for adjournment to the hour men
toned prevailed; but the schemers will
doubtlessly be disappointed.
The law makers are greatly pleased
with the comfortable quarters and many
c~onvenlences provided for their comfort.
