Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1890-10-06

Knights of Labor, are at the head of the
Republican Labor league of Pennsyl-
vania. These men have been employed
by the politicians under the impression
that they have influence with the work.
ingmen. Turner did good service in
labor's cause for the several years he
was secretary Of the Knights Of Labor,
but Carlton was always mountebank.
Neither Of them will be able to earn the
price Of his purchase by the political
machine. There's one encouraging fact:
So called leaders may sell, but they are
never able to deliver.
It is gratifying to learn that such
eminent legal authority as Roger A.
Pryor agrees with the position taken in
this correspondence two weeks ago. Mr..
Pryor says:
IL do not concede that the company
has authority 40 to punish its employees
for the exercise of an indisputable pre-
rogative Of American citizenship, name
ly, the right of association. The right
of labor to organize for self protection is
recognized and guaranteed by the law,
but of what avail would be that right if
its assertion be legal justification for
the deprivation of labor Of the means Of
subsistence? No man has the right to
infringe the rights Of another-the i'm
memorial maxim Of the law being that
each must so exercise his own right as
not to violate the right Of others"

"PUBLlc SENTIMENT" AND MORAL

One Of Them Balks and the Other Is
Constitutionally Weak-The New York
Central Strike Replete with Lessons for
Laborers-Other Things Of Interest.
In my last letter gave the results Of

pulls no Increasingly because he can't.
He sticks up his ears when the band
plays and rattles the bangles on his &C
coutrements. but, like his mate. he fails
to bulge the load behind them an inch.
And this is the team the Knights of La
Dor looked to to help pull them out as
winners in the race with the New York
Central Railroad company. Powderly

but the latter knew he had the best of it

It was impossible for the Federation
of Railway Employees, without altering
its constitution, to give assistance to the
striking Knights; so it did all it saw its
way clear to. pledged moral support.
That was the tune the strike died on.
Until constitutions and fraternity travel
the same road it is not likely that labor
can do much in contests with railroad
corporations. and it would seem that no
further reminder of the need of a more
complete federation of railway employees
was necessary. Arthur and his footboard
brotherhood will not federate. They
mind their own business" and here
after labor must count that organization
with its enemies and the one to be first
sat upon. say this after FIVE years of
close study of the question. and two or
three bitter experiences in dealing with
these men of whom Stephenson prophe-

then they'll not be good for anything
else on earth.

place their reliance on such frail sup.
ports as public sentiment and moral
support"
The New York daily press. with the
exception of The World. voiced the senti-
ment of the powers that be all through
the New York Central STRIKE. Such a
campaign Of falsehood and vituperation
has never before been witnessed. The
workingmen were misrepresented and
the public deceived. The Mail and Ex-
press. son-in-law of the New York Central
octopus, took the lead in the dirty work
That sheet even went so far as to say
that T. V. Powderly was an exbartender,
but it hadn't the nerve to run that lie
through the day. for it was taken out of
the last edition Such are the Protectors
of public sentiment" and this is what
strikers are advised to court.
Webb has done one good thing for the
state of New York. He has convinced
the people that the time to wipe out, 80
far a. New York is CONCERNED. Pinker-
tons gangs of hired butchers has come.
If the next Legislature is not compelled
to pass a law prohibiting the employ
ment by corporations Of armed thugs
under the guise of guards" then mis-
take the temper Of the people Several
states have already taken this step. and
the outrageous conduct of the hireling
assassins during the Central strike is
likely to attract the attention of the law
makers OF other states than New York.
1t is disgrace that this band of cut
throats has not long since been COM
pletely abolished Pinlserton has no
more right tn urn and mass men than
has any other citizen. and railroad
company has no more right than labor
to use them for purposes of
intimidation. The fact is that labor
could get their services as readily as cap
itaI if it had the money to hire and the
brutality to employ them.
Several papers have. during the Cen
tral strike. taken occasion to drag into
the discussion the name of Martin Irons.

Democrats Who WIN Serve In the
Next Legislature.

SEATTLE, Nov. G.--Complete returns
from Adams, Clarke Columbia, Kittitas,
Thurston and Walla Walla counties and
incomplete returns and estimates from
all the others except Asotin, Douglas,
Okanogan and Skainania, give Wilson
lS,0S0, Carroll l3. 02t.
Wilson's majority now exceeds 5000,
and will PROBABLY reach 1900. The
counties yet to be heard from will cut
no figure, while those which have not
reported fully will swell the majority.
The latest returns show democratic
gains In the legislature.
The senate will stand thirty-one re-
publicans, two dem ocrats and one tie,
and the house sISty-one republicans
and seventeen democrats. On joint bal
lot, republicans ninety.two, democrats
nineteen. the republican majority is
seventy-one.
No definite returns have yet been re-
ceived from Okanogan, Skamania,
Yakima and Franklin counties and re-
publlcans have a fighting show to elect
repre- scntatiyes in all four. II they do
they will have seyenty-tve majority on
joint ballot. Skumania will probably
give democratic majority.
At last accounts Snively and Young
we're running neck and neck in Yakima,
with chances IN favor of the former.
Neither Gray nor Fiummer.elt had
the advantage IN Franklin,
Okanogan is also close.
IL was thought that Forsythe, rep,
had been defeated for joint senator in
Cowlitz, Wahkiakum and Pacific coun-
ties. He ran behind III Cowlitz, but his
majority in the other two will elect him.

DESPERATE DUEL
Neighbors Settle an Elec-
tion Quarrel.
BOTH COMBAT TANTS ARE KILLED
Terrible Struggle of DR.. Lilly
and John Wilson in Estil
County.

LEXINGTON, Ky, Nov. 7-The terrible
election day duel in Estil county, KY,
of which only meager mention was made
in the dispatches Wednesday, turns out
to have been one of the most desperate
encounters ever witnessed in Kentucky.
The men engaged in the affair were DR..
Lilly, n prominent young physician, and
John W ilson, commissioner of common
schools in Estil county.
Lilly is Il republican and Wilson
democrat. Lilly brought up negro
to the polls to vote, when Will
son challenged him. The judge
coincided with Wilson, and the negro
was rejected. This fired up Lilly, and
hot words ensued, resulting in the draw.
ing Of pistols by both men. Lilly got
his weapon out readily, while Wilson'S
hung in his pocket and was accident
ally discharged before he could level it.
In the meantime ho received two balls
from his antagonist, both lodging near
the heart. The wounds. however were
not Immediately fatal, and the dread
ful combat continued. Wilson got his
weapon free and fired two shost, one of
which struck Lilly near the heart.
About this time Wilson's brother in
terfered and succeeded in Wrestling Lilly's
weapon from his hands, Nothing
dnunted him, however and almost in
the throes of death he drew his knife and
made severel fatal stabs In his enemy's
body. Both iell to the ground, but the
terrible duel was not over.
With his last ebbing strength, Wilson
raised up and fired the last load in his
pistol at Grant Lilly, brother of DR..
Lilly, who had appeared on the scene,
intlicting fatal wound. Not satisfied
with this, Wilson crawled over to where
his antagonist had fallen, and buried the
hammer of his pistol in his head.
Lilly died in few minutes, while
Wilson fingered until the next noon. In
addition to the men already named as
having been shot, three outside persons
received balls, but were not seriously
hurt. Altogether the affair was the
most desperate that ever occurred in
Estil county.

Ribot, minister Of foreign affairs, de-
clared that France was penceably IN

that she was placing her armies IN n

means OF obtaining the eimmedi1te evacu.

for England TO fulfill her promises.
The proposal to reject credit Tor the
embassy to the Vatican was rejected oy

eyes ON behalf OF the committee ON war

France amounted to only 2OS, 900, w

CALIFORNIA.

SAs FRASCIsco, Noy.6. Late this after.
noon complete returns have been received
from more than half the precincts in
California outside of San Francisco, and
from about two-thirds Of the precincts
in the city. These give Markham, rep,
for governor, more than 10000 plurality
over Pond, DEM, and also shows that
the republicans have carried the entire
state ticket by generally similar plu-
rality. The entire republican ticket III
this city, with the exception ofone minor
office, Is undoubtedly elected. Returns
from precincts heard from give Sander
son, rep. Tor mayor, plurality OF 25NO
over " Donnell, ind. There seems to be
no doubt the republicans have elected
five out of six congressman in the state,
and the indications are the entire con
gresional delegation will be republican,
though the contest In the First district
will be close.

New York, Nov. Ex-senator Sher-
man, in an interview to. night, said that
Major Mckinley told him before the
election that he did not expect to sue
coed with such odds against him. The
senator said:
But shall not be surprised ifit
makes him governor of Ohio next
year"
As to tho general result OF congres.
sional elections Sherman said; II have
seen such commissions dozen times or
more. but they have had no permanent
effect. 1 do not regard the present
situation with apprehension. Tho
country will be wiser by next year and
better able to pass upon the issues.
"Mckinley's Is measure that Is
greatly misunderstood. 1t really re-
duces taxation, and while 1t increases in
some instances, its general effect is to
greatly reduce the amount collected
from customs. think it will be found
to be beneficial to the country, and when
the people find it out, as they are likely
to do before the next congress Is chosen
and the next president elected, they will
cast their votes accordingly"
