THE GRAY COUNTY CASE,

When the result of the county seat
election recently held in Gray county
was announced, the majority in favor
of CImarron appearing to be large
enough to indicate very decided senti-
ment among the people of the county
on the subject, it was thought the mat
ter had been settled, and that tine decis-
ion would be accepted and acquiesced
in; but it seems that that pleasing antici-
patton is not to be realized just yet,
judging from the following which we
find in the Garden City Herald:
Judge Abbott Saturday granted
temporary injunction in the Gray coun-
ty case restraining the removal of any
more Of the county records from ingalls,
to Cimarron and also granted wit of
mandamus returnable March 90, requir-
ing Cimarron to show cause why the
county records should be removed to
Cimarron. The ingalls, people claim that
there was no legal election. for the rea-
son that the petition asking for the cleo
ton on county seat was not signed by
the requisite number of voters and tax
payers of Gray county,"

Antiers and Their Growth.

BY the time deer is five years old he
should have what are called his
rights" that is, the brow antler,
which is nearest the base of the horn
or burr, the bez or bay, an inch or two
higher up the beam or upright tmain
shaft of the horn), the tray or tres
above that, and finally two on top. or
two points on one of his antlers- This
constitutes stag of light points-a
runable or warra ntable deer. who
will, in another year, have two on top
on both sides and become stag of ten
points. In Scotland when there are
three on top on both sides the head
is termed royal one, but ]

used in the west Most OF these
words are derived from old Norman

A NOTEWORTHY DECISION

The decision of Judge Kicks of the
United States district court at Toledo
will startle the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers. Briefly, it declares that
the railroad is public servant, and that
managers of railroads are admittedly
amenable under the laws of the United
States for the proper performance of the
service required of them. The decision
goes step further and holds that the
employee of a public corporation becomes
himself quasi public servant and is
bound to serve the public in a proper
manner.
The immediate point in controversy is
as to the right of the locomotive en-
gineers to refuse to haul cars of freight
from a boycotted road. Upon this point
Judge Rick says:
'This court does not assume the power
to compel you to continue your service
to your employers against your will; but
it does undertake to compel you to per-
form your whole duty while such rela-
lions continue, and does further claim,
for the purposes of ascertaining whether
its orders have been violated, the right
10 determine when your relation to your
employer is legally terminated and when
your obligations to observe this order
cease"
This sweeping decision apparently
does away with the boycott among
railroad men. What the engineers will
do to combat it in the courts or out OF
them is question for the future.
Carried TO its conclusion, this decision
would seem TO disarm all forms OF rail-
road labor organizations and practically
dispossess them of the power of the
strike or boycott.
Nevertheless. as Grand Master Work
man Powderly says in speaking of the
decision, if it is good law for the corpor
atoms it is also good for employees, in
that it may be employed TO compel the
corporations to live up to their agree
ments with their employees in the matter
OF continuing the latter in service.
Public opinion may be brought up to
the point of endorsing and upholding
the decision referred to, but it cannot be
claimed that such is the case at this
moment. 1t does serve as a strong
argument. though, with the advocates
of government ownership of the rail-
roads.

CLEVELAND'S ROLE

The Kansas City Star, in a defense of
Cleveland against the designs of dis
gusted Democratic senate, declares that
'the president has not essayed the role
of director" If that be half way true
then expunge the word from the political
vocabulary of America, for no dictator
else was ever born. The truth is, and
its so simple and transparent as to be
grasped ty half grown school boys,
Cleveland is egotism personifed. He
not only believes himself greater than
his party but is convinced that he is the
biggest man in America today, and he
acts accordingly. The only thing he
ever did to warrant this self-opinion has
been his persistent use OF the power,
delegated him by his party, to crush the
men who constitute that party. The
real fear among Democrats, today, is
that Cleveland will defeat, if not disrupt
the party. His present administration
is more one of personal favoritism, and
of individual ACKNOWLEDGEMENT than any in
the history of the country, Jackson's
not excepted. The editor of the Star
may succeed to a consul generalship or
to even that of pleopetentiary, but in
the meantime he is making the average
aspiring western Democrat awful tired.

CARLISLE AND LABOR UNIONS.

! CARLISLE AND LABOR UNIONS.
Secretary Carlisle of tine treasury de-
partment has taken stand on the labor
| question that is in sharp contrast to the
policy which has been pursued hereto
fore. The president of one Of the most
| prominent organizations sent word te
Secretary Carlisle today that he would
| like to have hearing before
an appointment was made in New
York which would have more or less to
do with immigration. The secretary
answered that he did not propose to con-
suit any organization or association Of
any kind whatever in making his APP
pointments, that if they or their repre-
sentatives had anything to say or any
| recommendations to make they could
put them in writing or they could state
state them rs individuals. He pro-
posed to treat all persons coming to
him as local citizens and indi-
viduals. When it is remembered the
serious annoyance to which cabinet Of
ticers have been subjected by the de-
mands and dictations of various associa-
tons and organizations, Mr.. Carlisle's
decision will certainly meet with gen
eral approval. It will give to him the
privilege of managing his affairs and the
public interests in his own way and will
relieve him from everlasting interfer
ence."
The foregoing appeared in the Chicago
News-Record few days ago as a special
from Washington to that paper, and the
Arkansas City Dispatch, Pop organ,
uses it as text for the following blast,
which shows the kindly esteem in which
the Democratic administration is held
by the political clan for which the Dis
patch speaks.
at shows the contempt in which
labor unions are held by this plutocratic
sot at the head of the treasury depart
ment. This department has been under
the control of Wall street for over thirty
years. The plutocrats have always de-
manded that they be permitted to name
the secretary of the treasury and con-
troll the financial policy of the govern
ment and every administration since the
war has acceded to that demand. But
until this habitual drunkard and de-
bauched hireling of the money power
was placed in that position, no secretary
of the treasury has come out openly
against organized labor. The treasury
department heretofore would at least
give labor unions hearing, even though
their demands were not needed, but now
the right to be heard is denied them. 1t
is time that they make their demands
at the ballot box"
