AGAINST PlNKERTONS.

Important Declarations by Special Com.
mittee of the Senate.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11-Mr. Gallinger
from the select committee appointed
by the senate to investigate and report
the facts in relation to the employment
for private purposes of armed bodies
of men or detectives in connec-
ton with differences between workmen
and employers su bmitted the report of
the committee Friday. The committee
found that even the proprietors of the
detective agencies admitted >that the
presence of the so-called Pinkertons at
a strike served unduly to in
flame the passions of the strikers,
and the employment of detectives in
the guise OF mechanics impressed the
committee with the belief that it was
an utterly vicious system. responsible
for much of the iil-feeling and bad
blood displayed by the working
classes. The committee declares that
the employment of a private armed
guard at Homestead was unnecessary.
There was no evidence, they say, to
show that the slightest damage was
erty on the part of the strikers. At
the same time there seems to be no ex-
cuse for the strikers; laboring men
should learn the lesson that they can
not better their condition by violating
the law or resisting lawful authority.
The committee reached these conclu-
siOns:
l. Rights of employers and workmen are
equal
Z Employers have an undoubted right, pro-
vided they fulfill their agreements, to employ
and dismiss men at pleasure
3 Workmen can legally organize for mutual
protection and improvement.
L. When dissatisfied with wages or hours
they should attempt to arbitrate.
5. Failing in this they have right to discon-
tinue work either singly or in a body.
6. Having discontinued work they have no
right legal or moral, by force or intmidat ton,
to keep others from taking their places or to
attempt to occupy, injure or destroy the prop
erty of their employers.
z. In all controversies, arbitration having
failed, reliance should be placed upon the power
and adequacy of the law.
8. Employment of armed bodies of men for
private purposes either by employers or en-
ployes should not be resorted to, and such act is
! an assumption of the states authority by prl-
vate citizens.
Q. States have undoubted authority to legis.
late against the employment OF armed bodies
Of men for private purposes: but the power OF
congress to so legslate is not clear, although it
would seem that congress ought not to be
powerless to prevent the movement OF such
bodies from one state to another.
In conclusion the committee says
that its Investigations have lei it to
| conclude that the fault is not wholly
| CD one side; that middle ground seems
! to be in the direction of arbitration.
Without making any recommendations
the committee closes with plea fol

A GREAT Apo NTNIENT

Telegraphic dispatches seem to con-
firm the appointment of Judge Walter
Q. Gresham as secretary of state un
der Mr.. Cleveland. The appointment
of Judge Gresham to the premiership
will be a magnificent as we'll as re-
markable one. 1t will demonstrate
that President Cleveland is bound to
have the very best timber in his cab
met, even if he must appoint man
who but four years ago was an active
candidate before the Republican con-
vention for the Presidential nomina-
ton. Judge Gresham is brainy man,
possessing powerful perception into
political affairs and wonderful
knowledge of the wants of the Amer
lean people. The best proofs of his
manhood are his railroad decisions,
which have made the railroads his
enemies, and their officials declare
that he will never be President. The
appointment will also prove that Mr..
Cleveland is going to do just about as
he pleases, the advice of party bosses

NORTON is ENvIOU>.

The editor of the Morton Enter
prise, in common with the business
men of that town, have sufficient in
sight into future railroad facilities to
see that when the Minneapolis Il St.
Louis railroad runs a direct line
through this city that a fatal blow
will be struck at their interests. They
can see the end of the division, the
railroad eating house, and other divi-
sion facilities moved from their midst
to this city, and they can see Red
wood Falls drop her swaddling city
apparel and spring into the arena OF
cities young giant as strong and
stately as an Achilles. They can see
our population jump from 1900 to
$500 inside of year; our home in
dustries fostered, new industries
springing up, and practical absorp-
ton of their business interests by
Redwood Falls merchants. Consider
ing these things it is no wonder that
Morton looks at us with envy; that
her paper boasts, without producing
figures, that her traffic is as great as
Redwood, and that soon the narrow
limits circumscribed by the banks Of
the Minnesota, will be unable to hold
her wealth, her population, and that
the latter will be compelled to take
up balloon residence over the town.

FOUND GUILTY..

Ferdinand De Lesseps and Other Panama
Officials Must Go to Jail.
PARIS, Feb. 1O.-The sentences in the
Panama cases have just been delivered.
M. Ferdinand de Lesseps is sentenced
to be imprisoned for five years and
to pay fine of 5000 francs.
M. Charles de Lesseps is SEN
fenced to imprisonment for i've years
and to pay a fine of $3.50 francs. NJ.
Marius Fontaine and NJ. Cottu are each
sentenced to Imprisonment for two
years and to pay fine of 3,750 francs
each. NJ. Eiffel is sentenced to impris-
onment for two years and to pay a fine
of 20, 900 francs.
The defendants are found guilty of
swindling and breach of trust. The
decisions have made a profound sensa-
ton and are regarded as severe, partic-
ularly in the case of the elder De Les
seps, who is 81 years of age. Much
sympathy is expressed for the aged
man, who is very feeble. 1t is believed
that he will not long survive the dis
grace.
Charles de Lesseps was calm during
the recital of the decision, but burst
into tears when he heard the sentence
passed upon his father. NJ. Fontaine
was Frustrated. Charles de Lesseps
sent NJ. Lacheshaye informing Nine.
de Lesseps of the result of the trial.
Nine. dc Lesseps probably will not
communicate the news to her husband
unless compelled by circumstances to
do so. The general belief is that the
sentence will never be executed against
him.
PARIS, Feb. 11.-Public, opinion is
substantially unanimous to the effect
that the ignominious judgments passed
upon Count Ferdinand de Lesseps
went beyond the requirements u
justice. The newspapers consider
the sentences very severe
and especially that of Ferdinand de
Lesseps. The c1amor for his uncondi
tional pardon is heard on all sides an6
the judges are condemned. by many fol-
having done something which they i'm
agined would be received as an act o.
! great bravery.
