tisans, representatives OF the Union or
mganiged labor shall be organized la
for shall be entitled to equal considera-
tion with union men, and that workmen
hereafter employed who today struck,
shall not be refused employment here

pressed purpose of the council that or
ganized labor, as such, shall not be dis
criminated against; and further, that
there shall be paid every artisan em-

present controversy; that the men who
have gone on strike shall return to
work at once, and that the provisions
and stipulations of said resolutions
shall continue in force and be operat-

exposition. These resolutions were at
cnce signed by all the members of the
strikers executive committee, repre-
senting eight or nine thousand laboring

majority Of the men were unwilling to
strike and only went out when ordered
by the walking delegates and most Of
them very unWillingly,.

Washington, April 1O.-In the senate
today the recent decision of Judges
Taft and Kicks, in Ohio and Speer in
Georgia, in relation to the rights and
duties of railroad employees came up
in connection with resolution in
structing the commission ON inter-
state commerce to inquire into that and
other subjects. and long debate re
suited.
which had been a good deal criticised
by labor organizations would be ap-
proved by them when they came to
understand better it's scope and view II
in all its fullness. Pfeffer believed that
it would lead to a final adjustment OF
all differences between employees and
employers of carrying corporations
The resolution was referred.
Jones offered resolution instructine
the committee on Indian affairs to con,
tinue their Investigations heretofore
ordered, with power to visit the Indian
reservation and Indian Territory
Sherman remarked that investiga-
tions ordered two years ago should bt
terminated by this time. 1t seemed to
him that there should be an end to
such investigations, Unless there was
public demand for them and some
public usefulness to come out of then
popular opinion would condemn then
and say they were mere pleasure par.
ties organized at the expense of the
government Of the United States. Tho
debate drlfted to a discussion of re.
cent judicial decisions.
German said one matter to be in
quired into was the recent decisions OF
the United States courts, and whether.
in view of the Interstate commerce
law and antitrust law the judges had
a right to determine not only what e
railroad employe should do but wha,
he should not do. These decisions were
the first great step on the part of tho
judiciary to make serfs of the men EN-.
ployed by railroad corporations.
Platt said he believed the employer
of railroads had no more right to en-,
gage in determinations of commerce
than their employers had and he die
not believe there was anything either
in the Interstate commerce act or ir
the antitrust act that was not an af
firmation of we'll considered and wei
established common law.
Mr. Vest said Judge Speer in his de-
cision had only affirmed what every
lawyer knows to be common law.
Voorhees, said the most dangerous
question that the country was facing
today was the encroaching OF corpor
ate power or colossal wealth against
those who were helpless in its power
and whom it wanted to have chained
to it's car He therefore felt 1t his duty
to introduce resolution directing In
quiry as to what action might be nee
essary for the better protection of la
boring people. their greater security
from the encroachment OF corporate
power. The question went over till to-
morrow.

Plenty OF Music !

No Such Demand Made.

The Cedar Papids Gazette told the
other day that Ex-Governor Carpenter,
Maurice d. O'Connell and George E.
Roberts had, on the third day of this
month, held meeting at the editorial
rooms of the Register and insisted on
the withdrawal of Mr.. Jackson's name
from the ticket. This statement the
Gazette has again and again repeated
in answer the Evening Messenger, of
Fort Eodge, Mr.. Roberts paper, pub.
fishes the following:
NEITHER GOVERNOR CARPENTER NOR MIR
OCoSNELL HAVE BEEN IN DIES MONIES sINCF
JACKSON WAS NOMINATED. The editor OF the
Messenger was in Des Moines on the evening Of
October ., on his way to Chicago, arriving BY
the 80 Fort Dodge train and departing by the
Rock Island main line couple OF hours later
He called at the Register Office as he usually
does when In Dcs Moines. No injecting" wa.
held there. What he talked about while he wa.
there does does not concern anybody, for it wa.
only private and social call. We will say
however, since so much importance seems to at
lach 10 the occasion, Thar he did NOT demand
anything Of anybody,
This disposes of one-half of the con
stituents of the meeting and all of the
story is to the demand for withdrawal
The Messenger further says:
Messrs. Carpenter, U'Gonneil and Robert
, from many years Of personal acquaintance will
Frank jackson, not only think him an homes
man but believe he would make a faithful abb
and excellent governor of this state. Will tn
democratic papers please give wide currency T.
this opinion?

RALLY NOV. 3.

The local committee has been very
fortunate in securing two splendid
speakers for Audubon on the evening
of Nov. g. Hon. A. B. Cummins is a
speaker second to none in the state;
logical and polished, he delivers very
convincing argument on the issues be-
fore the people. Genl. j. c. Caldwell,
of Kansas, has been in Iowa during
two campaigns and creates great en-
thpsiasm wherever he appears. To ac-
commodate all who come the opera
house and the court house have been
secured, and both speakers will appear
at each place, so that all will be equal
ly pleased.
In addition to the feast of reason
and argument, there will be an abund
ance of music, grand display of fire,
works.
The fireworks display will be made
at Z o'clock p. m, and the speaking
commences at s sharp. Everybody is
cordially invited to come and partici-
pate freely.

The election this year is of the ut
most Importance because the legisla-
lature chosen Nov. 7th will elect a
United States Senator. That senator
will have as much influence in con-
gFess as have one.half of the Iowa rep
resentatiyes. We want a republican
senator who will vote for Protection,
Sound Money, Free Ballot, and fol
the return of Good Times. The cleo,
ton of democratic senator would in
vite the repeal of the Mckinley bill
untried money legislation and the per
petuation of Hard Times. Remember
that when you vote for representa-
tive in the legislature you vote directly
upon these issues.

The eliminating Atrocity.

The people have little comprehension
Of the vicious work now going on in
the halls of congress in the attempt to
repeal the elections law which has been
on the federal statute books since 1869.
1t has been truly said that the greatest
dangers threaten a republic when its
constituents are enjoying the peace and
repose of prosperity. 1t seems incredi.
BILE that there is any section of country
in this broad land where law so inno-
cent and so harmless to well meaning
and honest citizens is regarded with
such disfavor, but the fact is that in
many localities of the south this law is
looked upon as menace, at least by
that class of gentry who hold the bal
ance of political power with a minority,
and indeed small fraction of votes.
The law referred to is very inoffensive
and Intellectual except where fragrant
and violent fraud upon the ballot box
is practiced. 1t provides simply that
upon petition signed by hundred
voters being presented to the Judge of
the U. S. court, he shall appoint two
citizens, one from either party, to at
tend each place and merely observe the
methods and practices employed at
such election and report their findings
to the court. Who is afraid of such a
lawp What honest man with honest
purposes would not favor such law to
protect himself from fraud? Has any
body in the north ever felt it's infringe
ment or oppression, or heard COM
plaint2 We dare say that not one in
ten of the inhabitants of Iowa have
even thought of its existence. But in
the south, where the dirty work of the
heelers is depended upon to defeat the
will of the majority it is n nuisance
and an encroachment upon their liber-
ties. Since the last triumphant cleo
ton of the democratic administration
the south has been embolGened to work
for the repeal of this law, and the south,
sir, finds ready help at the hands of the
forces now in controlin New York and
Illinois. Its repeal would make the
machine run more smoothly in Hells
Half Acre, of New York City, and
would pave the way for the anarchists
of Chicago. The south, aided by these
forces in the north, all unrestrained,
would grind out nearly all of the desir-
ed electoral votes, and have to get few
of them by honest processes. This mi
quitous repeal bill is now before con-
gress, democratic congress, in which
attempt, we are sorry to say, the demo-
Gratis have the unitel support of the
populists.
The federal elections repeal bill is
the eliminating atrocity of all legisla-
ton that has been in congress since
ante-bellum days, and threatens our
cherished and boosted safeguard, free
ballot. 1t is the most dangerous class
of legislation attempted in modern
times, and the people should enter a
vigorous protest before it is too late,
for it is well calculated to perpetuate
the party in power by fair means or
foul, even though vast majority
might object. Its purpose is to defeat
the popular will by fraudulent ballot
and machine count.

EX-Gov. FORAKER, of Ohio, made a
strong point in his Des Moines speech
in recalling the difference between the
tariff plank on which Cleveland was
elected in "a, and that of '92. The first
one promised to regulate the tariff
taxes" with due regard for labor and
capital involved, and with apurpose to
preserve the difference between wages
in Europe and the United States. The
second denounced protection as uncon-
stitutional and promised to wipe itout,
root and branch. Capital and labor
were duly notified that they would be
slaughtered, and CONSERVATION and
distrust were fully established as soon
as it was known that Cleveland was
elected. Then the panic began!

THE Army of the Unemployed now
numbers three million! Think of it,
reader! Three million people have
gone out of the business. They have
quit buying flour and provisions and
clothing, and have become penniless
patrons of the soup houses of charity
Instead of being producers, they are
dependent, This means a decrease
of about 20 per cent in the domestic
demand for everything a well-to dc

effects the business and prosperity OF

ALL of the argument and sophistry
conceivable cannot relieve the demo
cracy of responsibility for the hard
times. Every man knows that the laws
worked all right when administered by
republicans, and knows equally well
that the hard times came hand in hand
with the democratic party. The party
has soWn to the wind and must reap
the WhirlWind.
