Red Lodge News,

We CLEAN the following Red Lodge
news from the Billings Gazette
On Friday the ice house one mile above
town was burned to the ground. 1t is
not known how the fire originated, but
most likely came from an adjoining
shack. Most of the ice was saved but
the building was completely destroyed.
The loss will reach $500 and falls OH
Hoskins & Co. The building was i'm
mediatcly rebuilt. -. "A great STIR has
been going on lately in the way of pros
pccting in the mountains above town.
Several very promising leads have been
discovered and it may turn out that this
may be quartz mining town as well as
a great coal town. We are near the min
eral belt that extends from Prior noun
tains through Cooke City, Boulder, and
farther west. Don't be surprised if some
thing rich turns up...... The five
months-old child Of Mr.. and Mrs. Harry
Horr died Friday from the effects OF
severe cold. The funeral took place the
next day from Geo Towns residence.
The same day Frank Emmrns, an old man
who has been IN the town for Il month
past also died. He had been drinking
hard of late which was probably the i'm
mediate cause of his death. He was
about so years of age and unmarried.
Nothing is known of his relations and his
personal history was enown to but few.

western stockmen, issued an invitation
from Kansas City to several ell-known
stockmen throughout the country asking
them to join in organizing an American
Live Stock commission. and convene for

Mr.. Charles H. Litchman has been
appointed as a special agent of the
treasury, with headquarters in Boston.
When Mr.. Litchman last fall resigned
his office as secretary-treasurer of the
Knights of Labor to take the stump for
Harrison in the Presidential campaign,
we had settled conviction that, if the
Republicans were successful, his efforts
in their behalf would be remembered at
the distribution of the spoils. With so
many hungry claimants in the field, a
real miracle would be required to make
the loaves and fishes of office go round
Yet we Were sure that "Charlie" would
get something. It might be the heel
of a loaf; it might be the tail of a
fish, but he would not find himself
passed over.
1t has been reported that Mr.. Itch
man was DESTROYS of succeeding Mr.
Carroll D, Wright as Commissioner of
Labor. In that aspiration he failed, but
he has consolation prize in the office
that has fallen to him. All, well, it is
only impractical mugwumps who break

THE GROWTH OF Discomfort.

The general outlook at the present
time cannot be very encouraging to
those who regard the present system as
the best of possible systems in the best
of possible worlds; who believe in the
eternity of capitalism, and look upon
the misery, poverty and crime it engen-
ders as only intinitesimal spots on the
otherwise resplendent sun of CONNER
cial civilization. To them, the unrest
which is manifesting itself among all
sections of the working masses, in spite
of the revival of trade, must be source
of considerable uneasiness. To US.
however, who look forward with hope
to the overthrow of class domination,
the discomfort which is growing and
spreading in our class is one of the most
hopeful signs Of the times The agitation
among the gas-stokers OF London, the
seamen of Liverpool, London and Glas-
gov, the tram-car men of England,
Scotland and America, and the cab-driv-
ers of Paris, shows us that the period Of
apathy which we have SO long de-
plored has come to an end. Men are be
coming discontinued with present condi-
tions-that is the first step toward chang.
ing them. Further, this discomfort 10
shaping itself in organization and
combination; and organization is the
weapon with which the final victory
will be won.-LOndon Justice.

A MODEL LAW.
The New York Amicable Adjustment.
etc, Law.

One of the --LATEST, stalest and most
Improbable Ito the public-not to the
otficials) laws ever enacted for the bam-
boozlement of the "sturdy workingman'
is the law known as IAN act to provide
for the amicable adjustment of griev-
ances and disputes that may arise be-
tween employers and employees, and to
authorize the creation of State Board
of Mediation and Arbitration.
Well, the people have received no
benefit from it, if we are to Judge by
the report of the Board of Mediation
and Arbitration. They tell us about a
number of strikes, and at the end of
many reports are words to this effect:
agreed upon an amicable settlement"
Not word of what the basis of the set
Elements were. Probably the workers
took reduction when they were not
strong enough to resist, or the capitalist
conceded something he could not help,
because business interests demanded it.
Who knows? That is, who that reads
the report?
There is one thing which the report
gives us that is valuable, and that is
copy of the law creating the very useful
State Board. Paragraph 70 reads:
IS u. Each arbitrator shall be enti-
tied to an annual salary of three thous-
and dollars, payable in quarterly install
ments, from the treasury of the State.
The clerk or secretary shall receive an
annual salary of two thousand dollars,
payable in like manner"
The horny-handed voting cattle of
the democratic" and republican par.
ties must feel proud Of such law, and
of the legislators whom they elected to
make laws in the Interest of labor"
1t seems that the good politicians mis-
took the meaning intended to be con-
veyed IN the words sin the interest of
labor" They evidently thought it meant
in the interest of few Labor" politi-
clans of the democratic or ''republi-
can" label.

THE CORRUPT PARTIES.

The people were promised by the
Democratic party that if they were en-
trusted with the government of the ma
ton, that reform would be the order of
the day; that money would cease to be
a political factor, and that the govern
ment should be of the people, by the
people, for the people. The argument
was used extensively that the Republi-
can party was rotten from its long ten
ure of office, and that nothing could be
effected in the way of reforms other
than by placing the Democratic party in
power, Well, the people believed the
statement, and invested the Democratic
Party with the reigns of government.
What was the result? The evil that the
people suffered under Republican con-
troll, namely-the monied power-sim-
ply increased under Democratic rule;
combinations were made, and for the
first time in the national history trusts
were formed, and the manufacture of
millionaires and paupers progressed at a
more rapid rate than ever before. Last
fall the people again essayed a change
in th0ir rulers What have been the
results so far: Was the country bene-
fitted by it, Every impartial observer
will answer no!-Aidbdnld Sentinel.

A DEMOCRAT" ABROAD.

The redoubtable democratic" party
man and single-tax specialist, II.
George, has had some more experience
recently. He went to Paris with the
intention of advertising his nostrum
and having single-tax convention.
He went to the wrong country for that
purpose when he went to France where
the small farmer is still in his glory.
The London Times makes merry over
the convention" and says that while
there were not five hundred Americans
present, as was expected, since the an
nouncement in some of the Partisan
newspapers that George would be the
next president Of the United States, his
country was pretty we'll represented.
The Berlin OlkSbloHt reports that "be
sides II. George and Mr.. Fluersheim,
there were also a few Englishmen and
Belgians present, and many, many
FrenChmen, the latter consisting of
Radicals and Socialists of various shades;
and since they were in the majority,
the French Socialist, Longuet, Marks
son-in-law, was elected president Of the
conference, fact that was hardly edi-
flying for George" The next day the
same paper said "Mr. George had a
great failure with his conference.
Firstly, as we have already reported,
the presidency fell into the hands of
Socialist; secondly, he had poor success
with his speech, which was Immediately
translated into French; and thirdly,
the conference adopted a purely social
istic resolution. So Mr. George did not
work potW le rot dc lJruSSe, but what
must disgust him more, for the Social
lists instead, for whom he can hardly
entertain friendly feeling since his
American tiasco."
But all this will not disturb the little
democrat" George, if he can only
make the managers of one or the other
of the great political parties believe
that he has great pull and can con
troll votes. Single tax and free trade are,
after all, minor considerations.

WHAT OTHERS SAY.
THE COMING STRUGGLE.

The lines of battle between American
contestants have been entirely changed.
The division is no longer sectional, but
capitalism is attacking the industry of
every section. A federation of all in
dustrial organizations, both North and
South, will close the era of sectional
strife and inaugurate struggle between
the entire body of American freemen
and tyranny and unjust usurpation.
The time has come to prove that Amer,
lean unity is not an empty boast The

JULY 6, 1850.
GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.

Under this head the Fum0'S' Voice
enters into the live question Of the day,
and we take the opportunity of having
little symposium over the matter with
our agricultural friend
''ln what business may government
justly and safely engage2 If it may own
and operate the railways and telegraphs,
what business would be Legitimate
and unsafe
To start with, let us give ii as our
opinion that a government, meaning
thereby the public administration of
the peoples affairs, could and should
take upon itself all the functions which
are now in the hands of employing
capitalists as such in any useful occupa-
ton. Only those would be Legitimate
which are against the laws enacted by
the people. And the same authority
would decide as to the matter of safety.
School houses are both public and
private. Court houses, jails and bridges
are strictly public, Only those things
that are properly public should be con-
Quoted by a government. Stocks in
public bridges, public school. houses, are
not exposed to sale at the counters of
brokers and stock gamblers.
Long lines of railways as private
enterprises could not be built Any
one man owning land in its route could
block its progress by simply refusing to
give or sell the right of way But the
State steps in and says: BY virtue of
the right of eminent domain. must
take your land for the public good.
The railroad is established as an instru-
ment of commerce by authority of the
State or government
Now, we can agree that "only those
things that are properly public" should
be conducted by the public administra-
ton; but if the people come to consider
that the lumber supply should be under
the public control, would not the lum-
Der department be property public:
And, by the way, would not a scientific
department of forestry be a great boon
to the people, and prevent the enormous
waste of our forests by unscientitic,
private umbermen? And would not
the supplying of lumber be a natural
adjunct to the department?
To be sure, the State helps build rail-
roads by exercising its right of eminent
domain in favor of railway corporations,
or any one man, if he is rich enough to
build and run a railway. But as soon
as the corporation or individual gets
possession, our farmer friends will agree
with us, the road is run for the pri-
vate interest of the owners of the railway
primarily, and only incidentally for the
public good. And the same reasoning
whic., induces the State to establish the
railway as an instrument of commerce,
would hold good in the case of any
other industry.
The question seems not to be how
may the government own and operate
railways, but how such eminently pub
lie institutions became private ?
Correct, brother. And so we might

character of a fixed law, and this law
