KILLED BY A BAD NEGRO.
4 Tramp Printer Gets a Load Of Indi-
eestible Lead.
Other Local News Caught by Tribune
Experts and Branded With the Iron
of Truth.

Ed. Hayes, of Emmett, tells the
TRIBUNE of a killing scrape near
Falk's Store last Tuesday. He knows
little of the particulars but the trouble
in general way was follows: A negro,
whose name he did not know, had been
in the employ of VIM. Stewart, and in
company with other laborers had occu-
pied small house on the Stewart farm
for sleeping quarters. Subsequently
the house was rented to a tramp printer
named Leeper, who in company with a
"soiled dove" took possession. There
had undoubtedly been bad blood be-
tween Leeper and the negro, and the
latter refused to give his up sleeping
quarters and started for the house with
his blanket and shot gun. Leeper
met him at the door with revolver,
and told him he could not enter. Some
reports say he fired over the negro's
head to scare him. and others affirm he
did not shoot at all. At any rate the
negro emptied the contents of his shot
gun in Leeper's abdomen. The unfor-
tunate man lived about twelve hours
in great agony. The murderer was ar
rested and at last accounts was in Jail
at Emmett. Leeper was a tramp
printer often seen at this office. The
writer met him on Wood River several
years ago, where he worked on the
Inter Idaho" and "News- Miner" We
believe he has relatives in HALEY. He
was morphine fiend, and although a
great bore, was inoffensive. He was
probably 30 years old and unmarried.

IGNORANCE OF OUR INsTiTUIioNs'
tew d.va back resolutions passed ov
District Assembly No. 40 OF the hnientS Oh
Labor were presented in the United States
senate INV Mr.. Manderson. These state that
.ha recsnt labor troubles at Homestead arc
tbs outcome OF the wage system. and they
demand that Congress shall pass an act pro
,iding that Pinkerton detectives shall DO
.raatsd and dealt with as pirates, to be IN
d;cted tried sentenced and executed as such.
The Ignorance characterizing the average
o;,;zen If the powers aud rights which the
Constitution oonfers upon the Congress OF
ths United States is amazing and 1t mas
never been brought into clearer view than
NV these resolutions. The Government OF
tho United States has jurisdiction over all
matters relating to piracy. but that Is Do
cause the Constitution provides in express
terms that the judicial power shall extend
TO all cases of admiralty and.marti me Ju-
risdictions." Under this provision Congress
NAV lerislate 90 that the United States
courts shall have power to try and condemn
pirates. But piracy is crime commil'eu
on the high seas. and the intervention oi
the sea is absolutely necessary to the CRIME
Whatever else the Pinkertons may nave
been guilty of at Homestead, they were not
guilty Of piracy. and it is not within tue
mower of Congress to convert any OF TUG
acts performed there by them into piracy.
Another branch of the resolutions. while
inst as absurd in fact. is not so palpaoly ao-
surd. Yet it just as plainly discIoses the
ignorance of those framing and passing II
concerning the powers which Congress
Possesses under the Constitution. 1t asks
that Pinkerton detectives be declared
national nalefactors and punished as such.
The mind which could suggest such
measure as this is absolutely ignorant OF the
theory Of our government. The Cons'itu-
ton of the United States confers upon
Congress full power TO enact every possible
statute necessary TO preserving ana pro-
tecting its dignity and authority linen u
may pass laws for Furnishing treason against
the United States. for Furnishing counter
feiting Of the coin Of the United States Ior
furnishing him who commits murder on
the territory Of the United States used Tor
Forts and Arsenals and for other such OIL
lenses as are offenses against the peace ana
dignity of the United States. But 1t has no
power whatever to enact statutes providing
for Furnishing acts which amount to no de-
fance of United States authority. but
are only and solely violations OF the
authority aud dignity of the State. Now
what right or authority conferred by the
United States is interfered with by Pinker-
ton when he carries a body Of armed men to
Homestead? None whatever, and there
fore no occasion has arisen in which Con
gress could possibly enact any statute what
ever. The offense. if it be an offense, Is an
offense against the laws of Pennsylvania,
and we have taken the trouble TO point this
distinction out because knowledge OF 1t Is
absolutely necessary TO any understanding
of our institutions, and without just this
knowledge no man can possibly know his
full duties as good citizen.

AN ARISE OLE Law.

The to legraphic reports of Homestead
matters represent Mr.. Lovejoy, the Sec eta
ny of the Carnegie Company, as making the
following statements concerning the arrests
that have been made there:
The best cases will be brought first. We
shall push them TO trial just as rapidly as
they are brought. Should we come across
the case of man who was not engaged IN
the shooting and who had no hand in the
mischief whatever we might make no in
formation, provided the man showed his
repentance for participating as much as he
did and by coming TO us for his old position.
But the law is very broad. and if q man was
only present and did not even lift his finger
he would be considered implicated as much
as any one, for the reason that his presence
implied his consent and moral influence in
favor OF what was going on"
If Mr.. Lovejoy said this, and il is just like
one of his set to say it and to feel it, we
hope his efforts to put the Machinery Of the
Criminal Law in motion against the strikers
will end in disappointment and disaster to
him and all his associates. 1t is just like
thorough paced pIotectionist 10 think that
even the majesty of law in the Cri minal
Courts may be perverted and enforced to
give him a money advantage in any contro-
versy he may have. But he has got to know
that the spirit of the criminal laws takes no
notice whatever of his controversies. and
it does not care snap whether he gets the
better in a bargain of his opponent. or
whether that opponent beats him Mr..
IIoyejoy will, however, be amazed TO learn
that the Criminal Law can be 80 Indifferent to
the all important matter (as he views it, of
money making and getting the best of bar
gain. He has got to learn that the machin-
cry of the criminal law is provided TO bring
that offender to justice who violates the
sanctity of public authority. and that it is alb
solutelv indifferent 10 schemes of money
jobbing. 1t is for the prosecution of those
who have broken the law. whether they
show repentance by being willing to work
for him again or whether they do not, and
if Mr.. Lovejoy hopes to have any sort of
public support in his prosecutions, he must
abandon all idea that the process of criminal
law is TO be used TO compel the strikers to
work for Mr.. Carnegie.
The bare suggestion is revolting-it savors
of slavery
Punish the evil doers-but punish them
as freemen.

WE published in our columns yesterday
the sensible and patriotic resolutions passed
at one Of the district meetings of the ALI
snce in Lunenburg county, in which the
ground was taken that it was entirely
foreign to the purposes for which the order
was organized to precipitate it in the field
of politics. Such course the resolutions
declared was subversiye of the prosperity
of the Alliance and destructive of the good
which il can accomplish as the guardian of
the agricultural interests of the State. A
determined protest was offered against the
attempt of the legislative council of the
State Alliance TO control the political
action of its members. These resolu-
tions of the Lunenburg Alliance are
fully in accord with the position of
the Farmers Alliance of Botetourt in
reference to the Third party, as shown at
their meeting at Blue Ridge Springs on the
sth instant. Like the Lunenburg Alliance.
the Botetourt Alliance condemned the en-
trance Of their order into politics as calcu-
lated to defeat the objects for which it was
formed. and they decided that no advantage
whatever was to be gained by supporting
the Third party. The Fincastle Herald.
commenting on the action of the Botetourt
Alliance, declares that it reflects the opiD-
ions and feelings of a very great majority
of the farmers of that county, and there is
reason to believe that the very great major
ity of the farmers throughout the State en-
terrain the same views even now, when the
political situation has not been as fully pre-
sented to them as it will be hereafter. when
the Democratic speakers shall appear upon
every hustings in the State.

ONE of the most remarkable of recent
converts to Republicanism is Colonel John
A. Cockorill. who like most apostates is dis
posed to OUT erod Herod in his oondemna-
ton of his old party. AS Colonel Cockerill
was for many years actively engaged in de-
nouncing the principles of the Republican
party and its course of action. it is mat
ter Of some interest TO know what is the
real secret of his change of front If be is
acting on conviction, he is convert at a
very late day. If he is influenced by the
price of his apostacy il is hard TO see what
that price is, as all the chances point very
strongly to the defeat Of tho Republican
party IN the approaching election. Proba-
bly, the Colonel has taken INTO considera.
tion the fact that a majority of the great
dailies Of New York are supporting Mr..
Cleveland and that the pecuniary interest
of his paper requires that he shall catch
some Of that Republican wind which is
restricted at present to the sails of the
Tribune and the Mail and Express. In the
Republican field he has fewer competitors,
and apostacy may therefore prove more
profitable than loyalty TO his old opinions.
