THE United States government nev. CT extends aid to anybody fighting tc establish the principles of representa- tive government. We stood by and permitted Spain to choke the life out of the p,tri1ts of Cuba; we had no word of sympathy for the people of Brazil when they threw of tho yoke ot the empire; we sent no comfort to Mexico when she broke the bonds of tyrant Spain; we lend no helping hand to the Chilians who are strug. gling to establish genuine republic as against brutal family oligarehy. The United States government sets a beautiful example to people yearning for liberty everywhere: but that's all. IN Y Advertiser.

What constitutes free coinage, is a question but little understood. The Deming Headlight in summing up different ideas upon this q ,estiou, gets about down to the proper understand ing when it says:
 What the government or anybody else who may want to buy silver bull lion may have to pay for it, is no part of the free coinage issue. Strictly construed, the government has no constitutional authority to buy silver bullion for coinage purposes, or gold either, for that matter. It's bushes. is to coin gold and silver into money when taken to its hints, and fix the ratio of values in the coinage. That is all it has strictly legal right to do. That done, it has exhausted its consti- tutional power over the subject. That, too, IS all the free coinage people ask it to do.

THE HUAcHUCA SENTINEL in we'll wri't'n and sensible article on the military affairs in Arizona, says that 1t believes that Apaches and not citi- zens. attacked Major Whan. and es. cort on that occasion in which the major was relieved of $2O,OOO or more while on the road to pay off the sold. iers at Camp Grant. This acknow- ledgement is most significant as the gentleman who makes the statement is not given to random talk and is highly respected by all who know him as man of undoubted veracity and cool judgment. There is a proverb which says "murder will out" and it looks at this late day as though justice were to be done to the citizens who were so ruthlessly taken from their homes and subjected to the inconven- fence of tedious trial but subsequent acquittal. The jurymen who set them free have been Maligned, and the attorneys for the defense vilfed and accused of all manner of nefarious acts to free their clients. But at last just ice Is to be done, by the candid ac- Acknowledgement that the crime was committed ty Apaches, as the PRos- RECTOR always maintained was the case.

The police thought itmuch more likely
that the man was insane, and they trans
ferred him to the King street police sta
tion, there to be closely watched for any
ev dence of insanity Minister Lincoln ap-
parently believed in the insanity theory,
for he insisted that Thompson should be
released if the police did not consider that
there was evidence to justify his prosecu-
tion. OF course the butler. upon either

THE LABOR FIELD.
Lively Debates at the Fedora.
ton Convention.
REPORTS ON THE EPITTsBURG STRIKE

Injunctions Against WOrkingmen On
Strike Hotly Denounced, but Mild Res
olutions Adopted and No Money Ap-
propriated to Fight the Matter-In-
diana Asks Aid-Boycott ON "A Brewery
Photographers Win Their Strike-Op-
posing Federation.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Dec. 17.-Yesterday
was the third day of the American Fedora
tion of Labor convention. The most i'll
teresting matters in the session were the
reports of the committee appointed with
reference to the Pittsburg job printers
strike. and the matter of donating 5000 to
aid the strikers in carrying their cases
through the higher courts. Majority and
minority reports We're submitted. The
majority declared that the judge of one cd
the courts of Pennsylvania, has in the judE-
ment of the convention exceeded his
authority and violated every principle Ct
justice in enjoining printers engaged in a
contest to maintain and defend their in
terests as wage workers, who have COM
mitted no action involving a breach of the
peace or violation of laws.
Resolutions Rejected and Adopted.
1t is therefore resolved that this is an IL
legal interference, that shall be chal-
lenged up to the highest tribunal, 5000
being appropriated to carry the case up.
and that if it is not so carried the sum
shall he used to test the validity of the
conspiracy laws These resolutions were
rejected. The minority report set forth
that conspiracy laws exist in many states
and it is evident that the courts persistent
ly construe them in such a manner as to
pf bo Iay I,i off of
labor organizations. Resolutions were
submitted declaring that the Federation of
Labor enters its solemn and emphatic pro
test and that the executive council be in
structed to take steps to have the repeal of
such laws. No appropriation was recon-
mended
Got an Overwhelming Vote.
The minority report was adopted over
whelmingly after many speeches and
very warm discussion. The com.
mittee on resolutions condemned the
secretary of the treasury's decision IA
TO the alien contract labor law
excluding musicians from the penalties
thereof. A communication was received
from the striking miners in Indiana ask
ing for aid. The special committee re
ported favorably on seating the three Pa.
cific coast delegates. The report was
adopted. Another report to seat Delegate
:. c. Pomeroy, of Illinois, failed.
Other Matters Considered.
Vice President Mcclure said that crcr-
lars from the New York district. Knights
of Labor, attacking the president of the
federation and other bodies affiating with
that organization had been circulated in
the hall. He called for an investigation CT
the matter. The committee on boycotts
and labels urged the passage of laws to
close barber shops on Sundays and at S p.
M. during the week. The harnessmakers
of Illinois, Tennessee and Missouri, in
which states convicts make harness. were
authorized to use labels 4 resolution to
boycott George Ehret's beer of New York
was adopted.
