JUDGE DALLAS DECISION.
Tacoma Ledger
If men who work and who are willing
to do a tair amount of work for fair
amount OF pay would shake themselves
clear of these meddling demagogues who
call themselves leaders: who organize
labor under various forms, and who use
the organizations thus formed for their
own selfish purposes; who are continually
organizing strikes and other disturbances
without regard to what they cost strikers,
they would advance their own interests
more than they can advance them i'll any
other way. In ruling against these DOM
agogues Judge Dallas has rendered every
industrious, honest worker genuine
service.

LET THE GUILTY SUFFER.
lBenicia New Era.
During the great railroad strike sympa-
thy was naturally with the strikers and
since the conviction OF Worden Tor wreck
ing the train near Sacramento express
sions Of regret have been heard on all
sides at his conviction. Ii Worden was
not guilty, then 1t is to be sincerely re-
GREETED and deplored that he or anyone
else should be judged so. Under the new
State law train wrecking is a capital
otfense. It is the most cowardly way Of
committing wholesale murder and the
lawmakers of the State have deemed it
necessary to put capital punishment as
the penalty. The evidence against WOr-
den was almost conclusive and the jury
did commendable thing in finding him
guilty as charged. His associates are now
Oh trial and the same medicine should be
administered TO them az was given their
leader. A few such convictions and the
carrying out of the law to the fullest ex-
tent would tend to put speedy termina-
tlon TO train wrecking.
I'm A MINORITY"
Yreka Union.l
It's a grand mistake to suppose that
California in its late election wrote itself
down Repu blican State. The figures
prove otherwise. It's true that the Re-
puDilcanS gained temporary victory
over the Democrats, but the fact is that
the Republican party is a minority one
to-day, all the same.
WHEAT FOR FEED.
Fresno Republican,
The wide-awake people of Kansas ap-
pear 10 have made an important discovery
outside the realm of politics, in which
field they have achieved more notoriety
than fame. 1t was in that State that the
farmers first began systematically feed
ing wheat to stock instead of selling it at
prices which barely paid the cost of pro-
duction.
The Kansas farmer has found that when
wheat falls as low as 80 cents bushel he
can feed it to livestock and get 20 cents a
bushel for it. In 1893 Kansas
raised nearly 25.0O0,0O0 bushels OF wheat.
The price fell so low that agriculturists
began feeding it TO their horses, hogs and
cattle. Sixteen and four-teuths per cent.
of the crop Of the State was disposed of
thus. This year the market Tor wheat
was duller still and the crop larger, but
3O.4 per cent. of all the millions of bushels
will be fed to farm animals.
