Unions and Trusts.

The old whig organ of mOnopolies
tries again to force a parallel between
labor unions and capitalistic trusts.
Referring to the exemption of labor
organizations from the provisions OF
the proposed law against trusts, now
before congress, it asks: IF this is a
country of equality bow comes it that
what is punishable offense in a man
in one vocation is a permissible and
unpunished in another vocation?''
The answer is that the assumed anal.
ogy does not exist. 1t is the combina.
tion Of capital which has forced the
union of labor, capital combines tc
deprive men of their rights. Labor
unites to secure men their rights. The
right to compete for business is essen
tial to the healthful life of trade
Trusts aim to kill competition. The
right of men to buy at fair prices in an
open market is essential to their pros
perity. Trusts make prices arbitrarily
and hold the market in an iron grip
Labor unions are formed to resist op-
preston. Trusts are organized to en-
force extortion. Labor organizes to
prevent its poverty from becoming
starvation. Trusts are formed to make
millionaires needlessly richer.
These are some of the reasons why
legislation against trusts is necessary
and proper, and why the organization
of labor for mutual protection should
be encouraged rather than forbidden.
There can never be monopoly in labor
nor in wheat growing in this conntry
There are already many monopOlies in
the necessaries of life and the essentials
of business.-N. Y. World.

An Eepensiye Experience.

During the last couple of weeks
nearly, if not fully, one hundred men
have been summoned from their work,
have come to town and have been
placed in the jury box and examined
as to their qualifications as jurors.
They have lost on an average of one
day each. Most all of them have had
or hire some one to do for them. That
loss in time will not be covered by less
than $500 at the most reasonable
estimate. Out of that one hundred
men, two jurys have been selected.
They mag get so cents a day for the
time they thus served, and they may
not. Their expenses while thus Serv-
ing have not been less than $1.O0 a day
each. One conviction has been obtained,
with chance that the decision of the
justice court will be reversed in the
district court. The same men who
served as jurors and the ones who lost
their, time being examined for Jurors,
will, in all probability, have to help pay
the Gusts Of the prosecutions when they
pay their taxes next year.
With this brief statement of facts,
are our farmers satisfied with the pro-
hibitory law? Are they willing that
this thing shall 60 on indefinatelyY
Does the end justify the means? We
believe not.
The prohibitory law in Kansas is
unenforcable, because it is unpopular.
1t is unpopular because it is unjust.
It is unjust because the innocent are
made to suffer more than the guilty;
and it must be submitted again to a
vote of the people. The recent prose-
cutions, while doubles being brought
| strictly under the law, haze worked a
hardship to many citizens, and have
strengthened the desire for another
| vote on the question.

A PROMINENT republican politician
said. the other day, that the Farmers
Alliance is simply band of resoluting
fools" That man, and all his ilk, will
find out before another year that the
alliance is composed of resolute as well
as ''reseluting'' men, and that he has
been greater "fool" than all others.

LAST year the short crops was given
by the protection cranks as the cause
of hard times. In 1889 the abundant
crops in the west are stated as the
cause of hard times. All the farmer s
fault. He ought to know that if he
don't raise big crops he will cause hard
times, and that if he raises too much
he will cause hard times. That is
their way of reasoning.

Topeka on Feb. %, Hon. Samuel
Dickie, of Michigan, severely rebuked
the county attorneys of Kansas who,
while pretending to enforce the pro-
hibitory law, accepted hush money and
stood in with the jointists. He con-
cluded by acknowledging that as an
abstract proposition prohibition had
been failure in every state where it
had been tried because officials elected
by republican votes had not enforced it.

THE Register last week tries to make
it appear that the matter of $1,000
costs, in the whisky cases, to be
eventually paid by the tax payers, is
bat trifiing matter; and it tries to
commend the acts of the w. G. T. q.
in pushing to the wall poor men ''Who
were in all probability not engaged in
the sale of liquor. but were getting it
for them as friend" We fail to see
any logic in the statement that heavy
costs should be cheerfully paid by the
tax payers of Barton county in order
that men who were Mot engaged in
the sale of liquor" may he hauled up
in the courts and thus prosecuted. The
Register says, 1.-The only objection to it
in this case seemed to be that the
wrong parties were entrapped." Is not
that objection enough! Do the people
want an interloper, man who has not

and who may move from it tomorrow
bag and baggage, by packing his collar
box and calling the dog, to be in
strumental in putting the county to
heavy costs, laying the stigma of
''jointist" upon men who have never
intended an Infringement of the law?
Will the Register persist in saying that,
''Even if the costs in these cases
amounted to S2O. 900, II there is merit in
them, the lawabiding people could not
afford to sit idly BY" etc.? "If there
is merit in them" The Register itself
doubts there being merit in the
prosecutions, but still upholds them.
The people also doubt there being any
merit in such a manner of procedure,
and they are going to be heard in
defense of their rights. AS a matter

case also and should the same be
granted he is confident of obtaining a
reversal of the judgment. In the mean
time he will continue to try minor Of
tenders until the Supreme Court decides
that he has no jurisdiction over them, as
it has already done in the felony case
he says he has consulted several proml
nent attorneys and they concurred in his
opinion and advised him to hold on to
his position.
Police Judge owens, however, is un'
willing to commit himself one way or the
other, but as he has dismissed most OF
the State offenders who had been brought
up before him, it would appear that he
was prepared to abide by the decision.
For the present, at any rate, all State
offenders arrested by the police depart
ment will be taken before Justice Austin,
and in q great number of cases, those
persons who have been already arrested
and taken before the police judges, have
been rearrested on new complaints filed
in the Justices Court.
City Attorney Mcfarland is of the opin-
ion that the decision takes the police
courts out of existence, and states that
no more complaints will be sworn to
before the police judges. He remarked
yesterday that the Supreme Court had
passed retrenchment ordinance which
will save the city $500 per year.

SAFEGUARDS.
Those Planned by the Street.Car
Companies.


Some time ago the City Council passed
an ordinance requiring all street.car and
cable companies to equip their cars with
guards which would prevent people from
being run over. The ordinance required
that the companies should file plans of
such safeguards with the Council, and at
the last meeting of that body the Los
Angeles Gable Company and Main Street
and Agricultural Park Railroad Company
presented plans. The Los Angeles Cable
Company sent in diagram CT the safe.
guards now in use on it's cars and
stated that, owing to the grades, it
would be impossible to prepare any safe
guard that would be nearer the ground.
The Main-street and Agricultural Park
r. r. Co. presented plan in which the
safeguard is wooden fender four inches
in width extending around and under
the car. 1t will be cone-shaped in front
and at the rear, and there will be a pipe
six inches above the fender running
around the car, fastened with iron rods
to the fender. Both companies request
that their devices be approved by the
| Council.

THE CITRUS FAIR.
Hazards Pavilion Rented-A Large
Guarantee EWMd.

Eugene German, who has been cirCu
lating the petition for subscriptions to the
guarantee fund for the citrus fair, has
50, 100 represented on his liut, and he
proposes to 60 on and work up the entire
required sum irrespective of the amounts
raised by the other committee that is al
work. He goes on the principle that the
larger the list of subscribers the more in.
terest will be taken in the undertaking
There will be no harm in making the
guarantee fund $1,000 or $4,000 instead
OF So 500-the latter sum having already
been raised.
The premium list has been completed
by the committee, and was sent north to
Sacramento to the State Board OF Agri-
culture for their approval. After it has
been accepted, the sum of 81 500, which
is allowed by the State for premiums,
will be turned over to the committee,
and the State Board will concern itself
no further in the undertaking. AS soon
as the premium list is returned to this
city it will be published, in order that
producers may know what prizes will be
offered for their displays. Fruit may be
entered for exhibition purposes by COM
mission men and others, but premiums
will be awarded only on fruit displayed
by producers. The first prize of $500,
which will go to the county making the
finest display, will be divided equally
among all the exhi bitors from the county
that wins it.
All the members of the committee and
the Superintendent, F. Edward Gray,
are hard at work, for there is plenty to
do in the short time that will elapse be-
fore the fair is held. Hazards pavilion
has been secured, which will give ample
space for 8 grand display, one which has
probably never been equalled in the
State. The committee proposes to ad-
nit miscellaneous fruits and other pro-
ducts of the section, vegetable and min
,ral, which are worthy of exhibition, but
premiums will 60 to citrus fruits only.
1t will be remembered that there was
much opposition manifested to the hold
ng of the fair by some of the orange
growing sections of San Bernardino
county. In justice to these it might be
said that since the fair has become q
of the future the people and
he prees of these sections have turned
n to give it hearty support, and the
is that some fine displays will
come from the orchards OF the men who
were at first inclined to give up the effort

decided upon they desire to see it sue
