Concerning the New York tailor
trouble, president Gompers. of the
American Federation of Labor, "lets

The reason the Manufacturers Association
favored the Knights of Labor was because
it is cheaper to buy their leaders, who are
clothed with absolute power than to pay
higher wages to the employees when they are
combined with trades-unions.

II Hasn't Happened Yet.

One day last week the Ledgey
borrowed some trouble by asking
If an artesan well is bored and cased, how
long will it be before the sulphur water on
the outside eats through the casing?
Alb ut that time the Ledger thought
a point could be made for the Cit
liens Ticket" by keeping up the deep
well scare-even after the Water com
mittee had defantly announced that
there would be nothing to bore with.
There is very little to dread, there
fore, from sulphurous corrosion of well
casing.
But if there were any
There is very little trouble
That threatens us to-day;
1t is the sorrows of tomorrow
That drive ourjoys away.
We sometimes sit and wonder,
And stew and foam and fret,
For fear something may happen,
But it hasn't happened yet.

Further Objections to the Proposed
Location ofthe Electric Road.

FRosrBuRG. Mp, April t. 1893.
To the MINING Journal.
In the reply of "Pnblica" to the
writer's last letter he says (see Lonacon-
ing Star, March Both. y
Every one knows that roadbed in these
mountains must have fills, and a few lines
further on there wont be any fills on the
road as proposed SO there 'front.'
If he proposes these two PROPOSE
tons to stand together, nothing
further need be said to the intelligent
reader. If not, it is useless to waste
your valuable space until he declares
for one or the other.
The grant to the Electric road only
calls for II feet to be left for the use
of the public, with no assurance to be
given that this will be observed. This
is not enough space for two wagons
and one must climb the ''T" rail when
eyer two would pass.
Pubhca' knows full well that the
writer has yet to say one word against
the Electric road on its own ground.
What he objects to is giving the right
OF way on tn" public roads to cor
poration of foreign capitalists as
against the hundreds Of citizens who
own and use horses, many of whom
are poor meE who have invested all
their hard earned savings in this way
and are depending on tie labor of
their horses for a living.
The writer expects to use the Flee
tric road and derive no small benefit
from it as Il matter of convenience. if
nothing else.
AS to the danger of these Flee
trio roads on public highways. Il matter
which has previously been under dis
cussion, the Baltimore american, their
staunch friend and advocate, saws
editorially in the issue of March IL,
1893.
Bostons new trolley system increased its
street car accidents tiye-fold within a wear
Chlcago'S cable system more than trebled Its
street car disasters. We have had more deaths
from the cable and electric cars in Baltimore
within the two years they have been running
than in any five years of street car accidents.
Rapid transit necessarily means greater
danger and there is every reason why all
possible precautions should be taken to
render it intinitesmal.
This is the writer's idea exactly, and
he can see no reason why the high.
ways should be used for railway pur-
poses except where no other route is
practicable. OBSERVER.

Yesterday morning CASTOR entered

but advised tho reporter not to enter

boldly entered, and, walking up TO the

10 retire.
The reporter refused, saying that the

The reporter again declined to leave,
and the governor took hold OF him TO

and took hold Of tho reporter. AS soon
as it was possible for Castor to free
himself he struck out right and left, his
Clonched fist coming in contact with the
governors and his nephew's faces.
They both staggered back, then made u
rush upon their offender, striking him
with such force that he fell over q chair
