SEN.4TOR HILL MIX rs 4 SPEECH.
He Expresses Himself on the Currency and

Labor Questions.
UTICA, n. Y, July Ex-senator Hill deliv-
cred an address today at Sylvan beach before
the Hop Growers association. His subject
was personal Liberty" and, in part, he
spoke thus.
"In the realm of labor and in the domain
of industry the principle involved in per-
sonal liberty cannot be too frequently as
serted. The fact cannot be too strongly
emphasized that every mans labor is his
own and that he can do with it as he pleases.
He has a perfect right to name his own
wages, his own hours his own duties and
all the other terms under which he is
willing to be employed, and if they
are satisfactory to the ono who hires, an
agreement is reached and there is an end of
the controversy between them. The con-
tract is n personal matter, with which no
other workmen or employees have right TO
interfere. 1t is bargain between two COM
petent contracting parties and it is nobody's
business but their own. They are free from
the restrictions OF any employer or employe,
and are not subject to the control or die
tation of any association or organization to
which they do not belong, and to which
they owe no allegiance. The consideration
of relatiye rights of individuals engaged in
labor pursuits, about which there ought not
To be any dispute among well Informed men,
do not conflict with the obligations which
workmen assume when they voluntarily Join
labor organiza tions, except in the matter Of
personal honor which may be involved and
which may require submission to the con-
clusions of the majority.
"The legal rights OF such individuals un-
questionably remain the same irrespective
of the question of such membership. They
always must be deemed to reserve the alb
stract legal right of repudiating such men,
bcrship whenever they prefer to do so, their
withdrawal only occasioning-such minor for
FIXTURES or penalties us reasonable bylaws
might intlict Their personal rights cannot
be jeopardized
"In that view fail to appreciate the anx-
iety of a certain learned iurist of another
state who, in a recent address, seemed to
apprehend serious danger to the peace and
welfare of our free institutions, occasioned
by the manifestations of power and alleged
defiance of authority on the part of certain
labor organizations in the western states.

PEPPERING HIGHWAYMEN.
A Fort Scott Citizen Givos Ideas on Train
Robbers.

A prominent citizen of Fort Scott,
Kan, who evidently believes in the utter
determination of train robbers and has
some ideas as to how it should be done,
has given those ideas to the Missouri
Kansas & Texas railroad in the hope
that it might make an experiment along
the line of the ideas advanced. The
letter is out of the ordinary, and with
view of making known the advantages
OF the system of train robber warfare
contained in the letter the Missouri,
Kansas 81 Texas has consented to its
publication. 1t reads:
To THE GENERAL MANAGER OF THE MIS-
SOURI,, KANSAS x TEXAS RAILROAD: Dear
Sir-Some weeks since i was passenger on

and apathy OF the ordinary to-berobbed pas
senger disappear and the American public
will take care not only OF itself, but OF any
stray robbers caught in the act" along the
line of the Missouri, Kansas Il Texas
The average travelling American thinks no

ants (women and children) being hurt in the
weapon in his hand and the ma ajority of him
will act on his man"
Add the more mercenary and, perhaps
more desperate fellows, who would be de-
lighted To kill train rObber and make a
hundred or two, and you Will have ample
protection on every train. Why / would not
be much surprised to learn that many train
robbers had quit the road ana gone gun

there may be something new To you in my
suggestions, and assuring you that IT does
make man mad to be robbed, and beliey-

81 look in vain in the literature OF the

gage smasher, such as were current
thirty or forty years ago, which used to
interest me very much. Who that is
old enough cannot recall the story of tho
baggage master and the circus mans
snake? The circus mans trunks, it
will be remembered. had been at one
time and another pretty roughly
handled, and so one day he got rather
himsy trunk and put in it boa con-
strictor twenty-five feet long, and he
marked on the outside OF the trunk:
Don't break! Boa constructor inside
"'Oh, I've just been waiting for some
body to ship boa constructor by this
line said the baggage smasher, and he
grabbed the trunk by one of its handles,
intending to toss itover his head, but no
yanked with such sudden energy that no
pulled the handle of. Then he kicked
the trunk over the other end up and
grabbed it by the other handle, lifted it
and dropped it and smashed it wide
open, and there was snake in 1t, and
the snake came out and uncoiled himself,
and when he coiled himself up again ho
was around the baggage master, and
'lhc baggage master never checked
any baggage after that.
Another story told Of the tribula-
tions OF u traveller whose trunks had
been smashed and how iinaily.he filled
big trunk with dynamite and marked
Handle with care. Dynamiten
Dynamite said the baggage
master, with fine scorn, and he pulled
the trunk down from the top of high
pile and let it fail on one corner and
HE never returned,
Then there was the story about the
angered traveller who placed upon the
corners of his trunk patches of some
material 80 elastic and springy that il
you dropped the trunk hard il bounded
INTO the air thousands Of feet. This
trunk came TO the station on the sum
nit Of great load of trunks and the
baggage aster seized it by the handle,
braced one foot against the load and
pulled the trunk OF and let IL fall on
