A MATTER OF SYMPATHY.
Fears Expressed of a General Tie-up All
Over the Country

DENVER, March 15th.-The Superintend.
ent of the Santa Fe Company tonight
stated that he had no information as to the
exuct hour the engineers and fremen on
his road would go out, but he understood
it would be some time tonight He had
been informed that the men are not strik-
ing on account of dissatisfaction with their
wages or the policy of the company, but
simply in sympathy with the Chicago
Burlington and Quincy strikers.
The Chicago express and all freights left
here as usual tonight, but it is not known
whether they will be run through or not.
The opinion among railroad men seems
to be that the new move upon the part Of
the Santa Fe will be extended to all the
roads in the country, and result in a gen.
eral tie-up.

KANSAS City (Mo.). March 15th.-The
engineers and tiremen on the vast system of
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Company
went out on strike at 4 o'clock this after
noon. The strike created intense excite
ment and SUI prise, for the reason that the
road has not been handling Burlington
freight.
That the strike was ordered by some one
IN authority, there is no doubt, but in this
city the men profess ignorance of the issu-
ing of any such order, and say they have

PUEBLO (Col.), March 15th.-The strike
of engineers and firemen on the Aichison,
Topeka and Santa Fe is on hand, and, it is
understood, goes into effect at II o'clock
tonight on the whole Santa Fe system.
The men are not striking against moving
Burlington cars, but for standard wages.
From what can be learned from the men
themselves, their grievance is the same as
that of the Burlington engineers.

EMPoRIA (Kan), March 15th.-The
Brotherhood engineers on the Santa Fe
system at this point abandoned their en-
gines to-day at o'clock. No explanation
is given for such action, but it is supposed
to be on account of the Santa Fe Company
taking Burlington freight.

ANOTHER REASON GIVEN.

ALBUQUERQUE On. NJ, March 15th.-It
is understood at this point that the cause OF
the strike on the Santa Fe was because the
company requested the men to haul Bur-
lington cars. A committee of engineers
waited on the Manager of the road and in
formed him of their determination. The
officials told the committee that the inter
state commerce law compelled them to
haul Burlington cars. This the engineers
refused to do, and about 1000 engineers
and tiremen on the Santa Fe and 900 on
the Atlantic and Pacific quit work.
All passenger trains which started before
this evening will be taken to their desti-
nation.

THE TIE UP AT NEWTON.

NEWTON (kan.), March 15th.-At foul
o'clock to-day all the engineers and firemer
of freight trains and switch engines on the
Sente Fe at this point left their cabs and
went on strike. All passenger trains are
still running, but it is not known how Ions
they will continue
Newton is the headquarters of the Middle
Division of the Santa Fe, and the railroad
yards are fast filling up with engines and
freight cars. Everything is quite and
orderly, bat the engineers are reticent and
give no reason why they are out
1t is understood that they received orders
from the Brotherhood this morning notify.

soon thereafter as they should reach the

was sent out because of Judge Gresham:

authorities have but little to say.

THE HE-UhLucAN RETREAT,

The Republican Senators in Caucus
have decided unanimously to pass at
this session n tariff reduction and re-
vision BILL"
For months the Republican press and
orators have been hurting the epithet of
"Free Traders at the Democrats, be-
cause they introduced and have now
passed through the lower house bill of
revision bill" Are not tho Republi.
cans therefore with equal fairness open
to the same charge?
The Republican platform, too. de-
clares that the party will entirely repeal
the taxes on whiskey rather than yield
my part of the protective system. Yet
here, only one month from the time that
declaration was made, the Republican
Senators unanimously ngree upon tar
if reduction bill.
In thus tardIly confessing that Presi-
dent Cleveland was right as to the
pressing need of the country when he
wrote his famous nessnge, the Republi-
Gun party betrnys its fright. It's NTH
tude of hostility to any reduction of
taxation Is meeting with such emphatic
popnlnr condemnation that the leaders
In Washington have hastily resolved
upon retreat. So, the Republican flank
ia turned, and the incorporating war
tariff advocates are already on the run.
They must be kept in full retreat from
now to November.
II the Republican Senators were sim
cere i'll their sudden conversion to tariff
reduction, we could rejoice that at last
there is prospect of securing some re-
lief for the people from oppressive in
direct taxation. But their insincerity is
TOO pluin. There is no intention of
uniting with the Democrats on any
pleHsure Of real reform. The new plan
unquestiouably il to cook up some bill
that shall seem to tighten the peoples
burdens without really relieving them;
some bill which. while seeming to re-
duce taxation shall in reality be per-
[ectly satisfactory to the trusts and CON-
biues, whose ready tool the Republican
organization has become. Free trade in
sugar will of course be the chief feature
OF the bill; 70 that the Republicans will
have the cry of free sugar to oppose the
Democratic proposal of free wool. But
it will be easy for the Democrats to
spike that gun by showing how, owing
30 tho peculiar circumstances of the
case, free sugar will play directly into
che hands Of the sugar trust.
The Republicans are too late with
their tariff redu ,tion bill. In so far as
it is aincere it merely gives them place
at the tail end of the procession Bos-
ton Globe.

ATTACKED BY SQUIRRELS.
A Hoosier Attacked and Driven Out of the
Woods in Very Lively Manner.


Col. J. L. Culbertson of Edwardsport.
Ind, tells a story of his experience about
the year 1854, the time of the great mi
grafton of squirrels from the East to the
West. He was quite young man then.
and one day took his rife and went about
q mile from town to hunt He was going
through the woods when he met the army
OF squirrels They became so thick around
him and seemed so fearless that he stood
in amazement.
Finally he struck one with stick The
squirrel uttered a sharp squeak, and in
stantly myriads of squirrels from all di-
retiOns rushed TO the defense OF their as
sociate and attacked Mr. Culbertson, who
kicked them off and dubbed at them with
his gun. They climbed up his legs.
jumped upon his back and on top of his
head.
He fought desperately, but the more he
succeeded In hurting, the louder the chat
tering and screaming around hiWbecame,
which only brought greater numbers of
the infuriated little animals to the attack.
They bit his legs and arms and gnashed
his face and neck, and lacerated his hands,
fairly scrambling over each other in their
fierce assaults. He dropped his gun and
retreated as fast as he could, fighting des-
peTately as he went. Blood streamed
down his face and neck and hands. They
bit him through the ears, and held on un-
I'll they actually tore their hold loose. He
got out OF the woods, and still scores fol-
lowed him and chung to him until they
were pulled off by the clerk and others in
a store into which young Culbertson
rushed for assistance. Some of the friends
who helped to pull off the squirrels, and
who saw him come into town literally be-
set with them, still reside at Edwardsport.
His friends washed his wounds and
stayed the flow of blood, which trickled
down his legs and back and gushed from
his face and neck, and with good care and
attention he slowly recovered.

rocks;
In every direction we find stumbling blocks.
There are too many people and too many things
That forever are making US wish we had wings
Or that they had provided Of course they would use
Fly to some distant planet and there quickly lose
'em.
There are too many people without strict sense
OF justice and truth, though they make much pre-
tense
To what they call "honor''-a sort of platonic
Devotion TO Right, which is too often chronic.
There are too many homes IN which ignorance
thriYes;
There are too many people who all through their
lives
Are aye and eternally needing lift;
There's too much oxtravagance-tool little thrift
There are too many women who live just for dress,
Keeping too many households in constant distress.
There are too many spendthrifts who elbow in"
their cash,
Or somebody's else, trhieh they don't care a.
There are too many hoodums in gentemen's guise,
There are too many manhoods of minimum size.
There are too many actors attempting 10 "Star,"
On the stage too much horse-play and nonsense by
far
There are too many bores keeping always in view,
And ditto professional beauties by two.
There are too many writer's of doggerel verse
But that doesn't matter; it might be still worse
There are too many critics who write only gush,
For justice and judgment not caring rush.
There are too many pugilists, too many tramps,
Too many fakirs and all sorts OF scamps.
There are too many statesmen" whose motto is,
Pelf,
And "slick" politicians legislating for self.
There are too many lawyers, OF justice a dearth,
And too many "trustsn that are bleeding the earth
There are too many partisans mentally stunted
Their honesty warped and their conseences blunted.
There are too many schemers for power and gold
Financiers of the Gould and the Huntington mould,
And more who'd be like 'em if only they could.
Yet in spite of them all, there's great deal of good
In this whimsical world and the hearts of mankind,
And the farther seek it the moro we shall find.

heard two good stories to-day of Petit
grew, of South Carolina, the great lawyer
and unionist, which / have never heard
before. He was practicing at one time be-
fore Judge who was apresbyterian of the
straitest sect and very Woodworking
officer. 1t came to be Maunday Thursday,
and Pettigrew and the episcopalian and
Roman catholics thought they would like
an adjournment of court over Good Friday.
Pettigrew was selected to make the motion.
"Your honor" he said, 81 desire to move
that the court adjourn over tomorrow. I,
"Why should the court adjourn over to-
morrow, when the docket is so crowded ?"
asked the judge. Because" said Petit
grew, tomorrow is Good Friday, and
some of us would like to 90 to church"
NO." said the judge, decidedly, after a
moments thought, "the court will sit to-
morrow, as usual" Every well, your
honor. replied Pettigrew, adding, as he
turned away, "Iknow there is precedent,
for Pontius Plate held court on the first
Good Friday"
The same judge was great stickler for
etiquet, and when one day hot July day
Pettigrew came into the court room in a
black coat and yellow nankeen trousers
the Judge took him sternly TO task, asking
him whether he did not know that the
rules OF that court required the counselors
to appear in "black coat and trousers"
"Well, your honor" said Pettigrew in
nocently, 'I submit that am within the
rule, for l have on black coat and
trousers" Insisted the judge: black coat
and trousers means that both shall
be black. ''Then," said Pettigrew, 81 call
your honor's atten ton to the fact that the
sheriff Of this court is in contempt of its
rules, for they require him to attend upon
its sessions in cooked hat and sword,
and while his hat seems to be cooked his
sword certainly is not" The judge said
no more about trousers.
