Anent Railroad Strikes.

A federal court arrogating the power
to compel a strict discharge of duty by
an employe to his employer, and decid-
ing boycott to be illegal, criminal, and
deriving the law for the same by strict
adherence to, and a somewhat aero
batic Interpretation Of the letter of
the law. and that law the interstate
commerce act. A law which has been
the tin-rattle of the corporations who
are now SO clamOrOus for it's sectional
enforcement. Their demands are con-
siStent with their nature. But their
present OStenSible respect for the law,
viewed through the medium of their
past disregard of its observance, be-
comes burleSque. 1t is an instance
showing how man exercising the
prerOgative of his office can saddle a
law, or policy having the force of a law,
upon the people when it is doubtful if
there is legislative body that would
or could enact such law. 1t is mo-
mentOuS decision. While it does not
deny the right of labor to combine it
nullifies the purpose of union by illegal
izing its most potent factor. Strikes
and boycOttS are viewed askance these
UdyS, UuC L CIllIlk tIldC dS lOIS DIS COIl-
Quoted without violence, they are justi-
fable and there should exist no power
to prevent them. IF you would have
peace prepare for war;" is an old saying,
and the principle is applicable to the
relation between employees and employ
ers And if the right to boycott and
strike is denied then it not only strips
them of their only offensive weapon,
but multiplies their vulnerability.
There will always be strife between
employees and employers: their interests
are opposed and that opposition has for
it's fountain head the most powerful of
all incentives, self-interest. If there
exists more potent incentive than
self-interest, there is none that approach
es it for the number of it's devOtees.
Men who are guided by every virtue are
led by self-interest. 1t is the balance
by which all our actions are weighed
and decided. History records some
magnanimouS instances of self f-Sacrifice,
but it's pages are monuments to the
potency OF self-interest, and the nara
tive of the most consequential events
in history is but the biography of self
interest. j. F.

A Land of Pl enty.

Never in the history of the world was
there a nation enriched with such
plenteOuS supply of natural treasures as
the people of the United States pos
sesseS. The natural resources of this
country are boundless and give conclu-
sive evidence of future prosperity. The
vast undiscovered stores of riches that
lie secreted beneath the rocky surface of
the western mountain ranges, are of a
value too great to be estimated. and
will at some future time increase our
opulence. The boundless plains of the
West await the coming OF tOllerS to de-
velOp their rich resources, and even the
arid territory would, if irrigated, repay
with plenteOus increase the efforts of
the sower. Here is plenty for all who
will toll for it. None need suffer, none
need want for the comforts of life in
country like this. From over the seas,
from far away lands, comes the tale of
distress Our brothers are suffering
and we are living in land OF plenty.
They ask to be admitted into the gar
for Sustenance. Shall we restrict their
coming? Have we right to rights
that are not the rights of all? 1t mat
ters not in what cline or country we
are born, we are all creatures of one
nativity, mingling together in one COM
mon existence. Therefore, let us not
deprive others of that which we cannot
use ourselves Old mother Earth owes
every one of her children living and
holds it in store for them, and if the
fairest portion of her domains are al
lotted to free and independent people,
it is placed in their keeping to be divid-
ed among the children of the earth, in
such portions as will satisfy their
wants. Exclusiveness is not the creed
of humanitarianS, it is the selfish ar
rOgance of warped natures that live for
and within their own narrow confines
and never go abroad to cultivate mag
nanimity. A foreigner is but an indi
vidual whom destiny decreed to be born
in another portion of our natural hOme
the earth. Why deny him the right
which nature has made hereditary, that
of following our natural instincts, US
ing our liberty as the means for making
an honest living and the right to settle
where we choose?
| would have these barriers of race,
caste and nationality, broken by the
march of progress and swept into obliv-

How to Get q Free Farm.

In the United States the term public
lands" is applied to all Government
land in which the Indian title has been
extinguished.' These lands may be
open to settlement or they may not be;
when they are, they become known as
vacant" and Offered" If any part
of the public lands has been set apart
for special purpose, whether by treaty,
law or Presidential proclamation, it be-
comes reservation" and is no longer
open for settlement, says Ella S. Leon
ard, in Kate Fields Washington.
How much land the United States
has virtually given away in it's brief ex-
istence, or even during the eighty one
years in which it has possessed Land
Office, have been unable to determine.
In the last eight years it has disposed
of 89,741, ,12O acres. At that rate the
billion acres still unclaimed will last
about eighty eight years. Two-thirds
of the eighty-nine millions of acres have
passed from the Governments hands
in the last four years. At that rate
there would be no vacant land in less
than sixty years-unless the Govern
ment buys or anneXeS more territory.
AS the various new States were ad-
mitted to the Union much of the public
