IN A TRAP.
An Adventure With Three Indians
 and Two Bears.

had been camped for a mouth
 in the Wind River Mountains, Wv.
 oming, near the headwaters ot
 Green River, before l got an m-
 dian alarm. l had come up from
 Fort Brldger with pack mule
 and plenty of traps and provisions.
 and by travelling mostly at night
 and taking every pain to hide my
 trail l had escaped the attention
 of the redskins. Having gained
 the upper end of the valley, I found sate spot for the mule and
 plenty of game for my traps. For the first two weeks l did not dis charge my rifle once. 1 was trap ping for far, and what fresh meat
 1 needed l killed with the bow and arrow. In twenty-five days l had a mule load of furS. l had but to set my traps and wait a little. It
 must have been years since any one had hunted or trapped in that valley, for the hares would scarce
 ly run away, and on three or four occasions black tailed deer Stopp. ed at half pistol shot and gazed at me as il they had never seen hu- man being before.
 The discovery which so vexed and alarmed me was made early in the morning. l had my camp close in to the base of the noun tains on the east side of the val ley, while the mule WAS hidden on the west side. about opposite. l 1 had incloSed him In about half an acre of ground, on which there WAS a spring, by building up a light brush fence. and hopplng hIm, and it had been my custom to visit him at least every other day. My furs were stored in cave forty rods above my camp as fast as accumulated, and l had neg lected no precaution which eXpe rience could suggest. Each morn ing it was my custom to climb to a ledge of rocks overhanglng my camp and take a careful survey ot the valley through q field glass which had carried for years. On this occasion l had scarcely turned the glass down the valley when l discovered three Indians, each mounted, and a pack horse follow ing. They were not in war dress, but three bucks who had come m to the valley on the same errand as myself.
 Iw was boiling mad over the ad- vent of my visitors. All my luck was gone in a moment, and l might consider it a great stroke oi fortune if got out alive, and lett my mule and furs. The fellows were ten miles away when l first sighted them, and l had llttle time to reflect on my courSe.- They would certainly come mp the valley as high as my camp and if was certain that l would have to move. The idea Of giving up all I had gained and sneaklng off emp,y-handed was too rep"g- .uant to be acted on, and alter had spent ten minutes watching the trio. I descended the ledge with n firm determination not to leave the valley. haa nov 9c' lighted fire to prepare my breaN- fast. gathered np all the brands. covered the ashes with leaves aho dirt, and worked for quarter "iah hour to obliteratc all signs ot the camp. My furS in the cave must take their chances. It was well hidden spot, and the Indians might or might not discover It. My destination was gnlch or co"- yon, a mile further up the valley and on my side of it. l had twice ,assed the entrance, but had never explored the guIch. It doubtless oonta;ned some hiding place or

The Dead Line

In sentencing the Anarchists to be hanged. Judge Cary of Chicago said: Tt is nowhere asserted or claimed tLat these prisoners threw the bomb, but their doctines, ideas opinions and teachings prepared way and led to the throwing of the bOmb.o
 With the sentence for text, the Indianapolis Sentinel declares that the time has come for draw ing tine dead line in doctrines. ideaas, opinions and teachings.
 It has come and passed. The line is drawn. Whatever sacrifice was necessary has been made. If further sacraiices: :are required they will Ee made also. The decision of the supreme court of Illnois. stripped of all its technicalites and reduced to,the naked princpi. pie, is simply the hard loglc of John Locke-that private war against society is outlawry aud murder. fla single man becomes convinced that existing society is wrong; that it's laws are uu ust'and wicked, he must not attemt to ear. ry on war against it, for society connot accord him the rights of a belligerent. When small minor ity attack society with violence, the names for the embers of such d minority, which usage and the common consent of mankind have sanctioned, are "thieves," "rob- bers," "outlaws,' "murderers. When the minorty is large enough to organize government of it's own but not strong enough to maintain it. the individuals composing il are "rebels and traitors" Belligerent rights cannot be accorded to any minority unless for the social and political order against which it reb. els it substitute social and poliii- cal order of its own.
 Whether they be few or many, those who appeal to "the supreme arbitrament of violence must be prepared to pay the costs. lf, in the nature ot.things, they have no basis for the appeal, and conse. quently no hope of winning it, il will not lie. They nave no right to it. They are not "belligerents;" the crime they commit Is not sedi ton, treason or rebellion, but out. lawry, theft, robbery or murder. according to it's degree.
 This logic is old, while anarchy is new but tried by it's own doe trines under this logic, its own doctrines condemn it. It does not propose another scheme of so- ciety and government instead Of the one il violently assails. It does not claim the right of a majority to make changes by supe- rior force in ihe final appeal. It assaults government and society as society, and virtually in so doing it assumes for itself the "wOlf's head" The one man thus assail- ing society is necessarily murder CT if he takes life or makes a con- vert to his ideas whom he induces to take life. He cannot be recOg- nized as a rebel or a traitor, be- cause rebels and traitors take arm against an existing order in favor of some other of that please tlftm better. When John Most alone, or with any minority back of him undertakes to destroy society because 1t is government. obvious. ly they can have no belligcrent rights in whole or in part. If they make war on property by appro. priating it by violence. they are thieves and robbers. If they take the hum an life, they are murder CTS. This is the dead line.

Mr.. MORTON AND CANADIAN
PACIFIC.

The telegraph reports that L. p. Nor

President of the United States, has re-
signed his dictatorship in the Canadian
Pacific Railway, al English corpora
ton in which MI. Morton is largely in
terested. 1t is said, and with good
cause, that Mr.. Morton resigned from
the directory of this gigantic English
enterprise to overcome the unfavorable
effect his being connected so direct
ly with the management would have
upon his candidacy before the Ameri-
car people. The Wall Street Daily
News, an authority on railroad inter-
ests and corporations, says of this Eng

The Canadian Pacific is a govern

inion and by Great Britain too. Its
dividend is guaranteed, and with its
enormous land grant it is only called
upon to earn ordinary expenses. With
this advantage, it is in a position to sap
the life blood out of American railway
systems by doing business at any figure
that it chooses, while American roads
are prohibited from meeting its rates,

THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR FAVOR
TARIFF REFORM.

The action of the knights of Labor
conventions throughout the country, in
which they favor tariff reform is sug.
gestive of the strong support the Dem
ocratic position on the tariff is receiv
ing in that quarter. The report of the
statistician of the Michigan Assembly
of the Knights of Labor, gives a canvass
of 43 assemblies on the tariff issue. 1t
shows only nine assemblies in which
over 20 men favor high protection tar
if, while in "a assemblies none favor it.
Six are for free trade and all are strong
for tariff reform. The conclusion may
fairly be drawn from this, that the
workingmen of the country cannot be
cajoled into the high protective tariff,
free whiskey and dear clothes camp of
the monopolists. What the working
man wants is protection for himself,
and he is beginning to see that the best
protection he can get is to have the
necessaries of life placed upon a basis
where he can get them for the least
possible outlay. He cannot be vince
dledinto the belief that cheap whiskey is
as essential to his welfare as cheap liv-
ing and cheap clothes.

so doing. 1t has already doubled up
four American roads and is sharplycom.
peting with roads which are not earn
ing dividends. How long will the Coy
eminent permit this to go On?
If Mr.. Morton were not an English
nan at heart, is it likely that he would
be so largely interested in an English
corporation, which lis in a position to
sap the life blood out of American rail
way systems by doing business at any
figure which it chooses? ?" Does the
American voter need any stronger argu-
ment than is embodied in this Cana
dian Pacific episode. Mr.. Harrison "of
China" and Mr.. Morton "of England
would be pretty figures as President
and Vice President of the United
States, wouldthey not?
