while such is the case. | must say that
the dargun is as much worthy Of being
called a language as the RoumNuan or
Bulgarian, SO long a. six millions If
people speak and write it, My advice
would he to those who suoerat tito better
aCQualnt themselves with the literature
in that language which would bring
them to higher standard ot intelligence
than Thousand lectures in temple in
the English language. To convince YOU
that the "Jewishspeaking" workers are
ripe To grapple with social questions,
will reveal 10 yOu the astounding fact
that anyone Of our members who does
not understand any language, as you
phrase it, will undertake to debate with
you on socialism, and conquer in the
bargain.
We thank you for your kind offers,
but W. cannot accept them; firstly, be-
cause we are divorced from the church
for ever, and We leave ii t. those who
profit hy II; secondly. we do not need
or believe IN leaders, because leaders
generally W,lead.
Yours respectfully.

RABBI AND "RABBLE."
The Jewish Socialists Of Boston See
Solomon SCHNEIDER.

The following correspondence is self
explanatory, and will give our readers
an insight into a corner Of the socialist
vineyard about which bat little has been
published in the English language;
To the U0rhmen'S AdUocate:
At one of the weekly agitation meet
ings of the Jewish Socialists Of Boston,
it was proposed by some of their mem
bers to invite Rabbi SCHNEIDER to address
them. We wrote him as follows:
II have no doubt that you are aware
of the existence of the Jewish Work
ingmen's Educational Club This club
has existed for the last two years. its
aim is; The propagation of socialism
among the JeWish-speaking workers.
1t was to our pleasure to see your name
affiliated with the recently organized
Nationalist Club, which is in principle
socialistic From that as well as from
many radical utteranCes of yours, we
resolved that You believed in socialism.
| was therefore authorized by the club
to consult you whether or not you
would favor us with an address on So
ciaIism to a Jewish-speaking audience
in the Jewish or German language. We
await your answer. Yours respectfully,
81. FINN"
Rabbi SCHNEIDER replied as follows;
RABBI sCHINDLER's LETTER.
Mr.. j. Finn:
l,1
Workingmen's Educational Club, | do
not believe in a Jewish" Workmens $
Educational Society. Religion or race
have nothing to do with such efforts.
The Jew ought not to separate himself
from others and have such clubs of has
OlCH. Those who, as you term it, belong
to the JeriSh-speaking workers, are not
yet ripe for any socialistic propaganda
because there is not such a thing as
Je,ciSh language. 1t is a jargOn, what
you refer to, which only the uninteIi-
gent speak. They would not under
stand me if | should speak German, be-
cause they do not know how to speak
any language, and do not know that
JelriSh language which you mention as
their idiOm. Neither am | a Socialist.
My audiences are ndtjOndiiStic. have
furthermore no time for preparing ad-
dresses for special purposes. | express
all | wish to teach in my Sunday lee
tlTes, but why does the Jetcish Work
ingmen's Educational Ciub not come to
hear them? | think it would further
their education and make them ripe to
grapple with social questions of which
they at present cannot have any under
standing, or they would not give them
selves such a narrow name, nor cling to
what they call the JewiSh language.
| wish therefore, to be excused.
First rsmove such narrowness, then pre-
pare yourself by what my efforts offer
you, show by your presence in my tenn
pie that you sympathize with me and
wish to follow my lead; then | will
gladly assume leadership and assist you.
Yours, S. SCHNEIDER.
This letter was read before the mem
ber5 of our club, and Mr.. Finn and my
self, as members, took the privilege of
answering the Rabbits letter:

THE VOTING

The active members Of the Social
list Party turned ont ON Tuesday
and did their duty. Of course it
was not to be expected that a cor
rect count would be returned, but
the acknowledged vote Of about two
hundred is sufficient to prove THat
the mon with the cred card were
possessed Of proper discipline.
The blatherskites of the labor
movement who had been schcmiug
for the past three months for pap
and place tried their "intluence
at keeping the "repubhcan' ring in
power, but they were knocked out,
and their "inAuence" isn't worth
one hundred cents below par.
The thin red line comes out Of
the battle unscarred and ujNc0red,

ist agitation, and deserving As well
as enjoying the respect of their COM

lican" candidate, Roche, doesn't feel
like augmentlng the "arguments," he
used SO unsuccessfully before elec-
ton.

WHO IS GUILTY.
Conflicting Stories of the Atrocious
Burnett Murder.
Rockwell and Black Each Charge
the Other.
Interesting Statements of the Cow
ardIy Conspirators.

Following is an extract from the Boom
erdng's excellent report of the sensational
Black murder trial now in progress at
Laramie:
Rockwell told how he and Black had
arranged to 20 to Burnett's and take
possession of the ranch on the ground
that Black had a prior right of possession.
how they had found the eccentric old man
in his cabin, how after he had refused to
surrender possession Black had shot him
three times after which they had covered
the body with a tarpulin and placing it on
their wagon had taken it to the gully and
cremated it; how they had sought to cover
up the evidence of their crime by smear
ing over with wagon greese the blood
stains on the wagon and ~tarpulin.
Mrs. Mollie Wrisinger, a s~tepdaughter
of George Black. testified that she saw
Black in Cheyenne last May, that he
said he was going on the Burnett ranch
and that he or Burnett had to ole.
Other testimony was introduced as to
threats which had been made by Black
against Burnett.
George Black was next placed upon
the stand. He was less nervous than he
has previously appeared and evidently
weighed carefully most of his answers.
The substance of his story was hat he
was an innocent man and that Burnett
had been killed by Rockwell. He de-
clared that it was at ROCKWELL solicitation
that he had gone to the ranch and that
Rockwell had prepared a mining claim to
the land. Alter they arrived at the ranch
and found Burnett in his cabin all the
talking was done by Rockwell, who said
that he had a mining claim to the proper
ty and demanded hat Burnett take his
things out. The latter refused, saying
the claim was not worth a cent. that he
had a mill site there and was going to
stay. Rockwell then drew his revolver
from his belt and shot and Burnett fell
face downward on the floor. He shot
again, but before he did so Black
Jumped outdoors" He did not go in
again until Rockwell had placed the dead
body under the bed. Rockwell said He
won't bother us now" Rockwell wanted
to take the body to Silver Crown where
there was an old well, but Black refused.
He then proposed taking it away and
burning it and the high minded Black
said that he would help place the body on
the wagon and take it off but hat be
would do no more. Rockwell gathered
the wood with which to burn it while
Black drove to the side of the hill and
watched.

Special Dispatch to the Leader.
RAwLINs, Wyo., Nov. sheriff
Sparahawk left for Lander this morning
with the five men charged with the ruth
less murder of a companion on the Sweet
water Oct. 26.
The mystery enveloping the tragedy is
unfolding underline skillful manipulation
of Sheriff Sparahawk. He intimates that
one of his prisoners has ''squealed." He
takes no stock in the story of the stolen
$40 as the of the murder. but in
clines to the belief that Fordman's muir.

A BAD SEASON.
Carbon County CattIemen Suffered
Last Summer.

According to Frank Earnest, who
talked to a LEADER reporter on the sub
ject here the other day, the season just
ended was in Carbon county extremely
u~nfayorable to the range cattle business.
The drouth was unprecedented. Streams
which have watered great areas from
time immemorial were dry as drawing
room floors after July and the luxuriant
grass growth induced by spring rains was
blasted as if a devasting desert simeon
had swept across the prairie. This was
due entirely to the absence of snow
storms during the winter of 1859.
Mr.. Earnest mentioned instances of de-
sertion OF ranches on account Of the
drying OF watering places.
While the cattle growers of that re-
sion are discouraged the sheepmen
are jubilant, for never have they had a
better season. The hardy fleece pro-
ducers thrived where cattle suffered.
The profits OF the cattlemen next year
will be great. There have been two I'M
usually heavy snow falls already and the
streams will overflow their banks the bet
ter part of neXt season. Prices will be
better, too.

Four Dispatcher, Here.

By the transfer of Trainmaster Par
sons to Laramie the Union Pacific dis
patcher's Office at this place gains numer-
ical strength instead of losing it. A pair
of expert dispatchers arrived yesterday
and with two local men were assigned
to duty in this Office. This addition gives
Cheyenne a clear gain of four dispatchers.
Train sheets will again be kept here and
from present indications the force will be
increased before long. For some time
Cheyenne has had not a single dispatcher,
but this system was found impraticable.

MODERN IMPROVEMENTS.
Prospects of Electric Light and Steam
Heat at Fort Russell.

The next series of improvements to be
made at Fort Russell will startle the ma
tiyes. As is well known contracts have
been awarded for water and sewerage sys-
TENS to cost in the aggregate S3S. 900 and
to be finished so soon as possible. Nearly
5000 of the sum mentioned will be ex-
pended for labor.
The innovations will be steam heating
and electric lighting systems of the latest
approved patterns. These have been in
troduced at one eastern fort and a promi-
nent military authority says plants will be
placed early at the bost permanent military
posts throughout the United States.
Introduction of modern heating and
lighting systems at Fort Russell will be
easy of accomplishment. They already
have steam power there and fuel is cheap
and becoming constantly less costly.
When steam is placed heating stoves will
be consigned to the IC storerooms and
only ranges will find places in the quar-
tiers.
A move should at once be made to Sc
cure a Fort Russell appropriation for
these purposes.

THE c NIGHT.
With Splendid Features The G.. A. r..
Fair a Grand Success

The second night of the G. A r. relief
fund fair Twas successful beyond the
fondest expectations of the promoters Of
the project and surpassed the opening
evening in every particular. The attend
ance was surprisingly large. Keefe hall
being crowded from 7 O'Clock until mid
night with generous patrons bent on en-
ioyment of the festival to the limit.
Gen. Fisher presided during the open
ing and later made a pleasing address.
Judge Carroll, the G. A r. poet
recited his lines on the Last Roll CALI
with fee effect These verses did service
at a gathering of the veterans several
months ago and were published at that
time.
Vocal music was furnished by Messrs.
Powelson, Cowhick, Henderson, Whit
comb and Inman, who rendered spirited
airs ringing with patriotism.
Capt. N. ]. 0'Brien was presented by
Gen. Fisher as a rhetorical Frenchman
and with ready Irish wit kept the audi
ence in a wide grin during his address.
Capt. O'Brien said the rumor that he
once resided in Iowa was foundationless.
hat he came from Missouri.
Rev. d. L. RAIDER. a Reynolds post
protege who has been called the fighting
parson, assailed in his pleasing style Capt.
u Brien's aspersions on Missouri and
then made a few remarks appropriate to
the occasion.
Now came gallant company K. with
Capt. Sitter in command. The intri-
cate m~aneuvering of the young ladies
aroused the greatest enthusiasm and they
received the highest encomiums for their
proficiency in drilling. Several 18th in
fantry officers seated on the stage pro-
nounced the exhibition of the charming
troop perfect from a military standpoint
and simply superb as an amusement feat
ure. In the limited space the wonder Is
that a mistake was not made.
These are the pretty members of
Co. K:
Emma L. O'Brien. Kate Kelly, Mary
Davidson, Gertrude Morgan. Lulu Max
well, Alvenie Gloy. Gertrude Ellis.
Mamie p. Horrie, Eva Smalley, Iona

the dining hall, filled her portmanteau
silver half a dozen times.
Tonight the stunning cut glass and sill
