Chief Clark was recalled and Stone took
him in hand. The congressman asked if
it was not the desire aid purpose of these
organizations TO get in their ranks all

form trust or monopoly us monopoly
OF money or capital so as to control abso-
lutely their different lines OF work. Clark
answered in the affirmative. Then fol-
lowed here quite n discussion which Boat
ner and Stone, of the committee, and Clark
took part, in which Clark stated cxplic-
lilly just what the labor men objected to in
Judge jenkins decision.
The objections, which are two, lay
against the clause prohibiting the men to
quit work with or without notice in way
to cripple the road and the clause restrain.

MILWAUKEE. April II. The Judge Jen-
kins investigation by the house snb-com-
mittee of the judiciary committee has
come to sudden end, so far as Milwaukee
is concerned. All of the witnesses sub
penaed were examined, and as there was
no documentary evidence to go over there
was nothing else tn do and the affair will
now continue in Washington. The wit

men; Arnold, of the firemen, Clark. of the

and Ramsey, OF the telegraphers; Attorney
George =. Miller, General Manager Kend-
rick. Receiver Cakes, ex-senator Spooner.
and Attorney W. j. Curtis, oi the North

Spooner Dictated the Order.
The cnief interest was ceatered in
Spooner's testimony. He testified that he
with Attorney Miller had dictated the pc
tit;on for the first injunction which for
babe the employees of the Northern Pa
cihc from striking, and also the order
which was issued by Judge Jenkins. He
said this was customary among attorneys
in Ike cases. He said. however, that he
had nothing TO do with the supplementary
injunction. Spooner said lie took for the

decision of Judge Pardee, of the federal
court, IN the Higgins case, but Attorney
CARTS admitted in answer 10 a question

LABOR'S NEED OF CAPITAL.

The ideas sedulously instilled into the

in character. Counting in everything,

eether. and the few great fortunes that
have been accumulated in the process,
and upon which all eyes have been di.
rected, are as much the exception as the
capital prize in lottery. The people Of
this country are mainly workers and
producers. The non-producing classes
are 30 small in number and so pitiful in
influence that they are not worth consid-
ering. The capitalist is producer; the
student is a producer; the man who
works at any kind Of legitimate bust.
ness enterprise is producer, and it takes
all OF these to make country. To thoss
who believe that only those who work
with their hands are laborers, we com
mend Esops fable Of the war between
the belly and the members Of the body,
which is especially appropriate at this
time, when a struggle for determination

This is the result when labor takes to

Upon ffts Doorstep.

Mr.. A. Forbis is gentleman who owns
a ranch out on the school section. On
Sunday morning he found that he owned
things other than his ranch. He is an
elderly gentleman, about 80 years Of age,
with grown children--that is they were
all grown on Saturday last. Now he has
one which appears to be about 8 months
old--and thereby hangs tale which may
never be fully told, because Mr.. Forbis
may be unable to discover the party
or parties who could lucidly explain it.
Late in the night on Saturday Mr..
Forbis heard noise at his front door, but
paid no attention to it, because he thought
il to have been caused by a young man
who is employed on the neighboring
ranch Of Lombard & Horsley, but who
sleeps at the house Of Mr.. Forbis. The
supposed young man did not enter the
house and Mr.. Forbis got up to look out
OF the window. He saw a small bundle
lying near the door, thought it belonged
TO the aforesaid young man (who might
have carried it there and still be lettering
in the immediate vicinity, and he closed
his window and went to bed again.
Early in the morning he thought he
heard child crying somewhere in the
house, but dismissed the idea as vagary
OF the mind. At daylight he arose and
started TO do his work. Upon attempt
ing to pass the porch he saw the same
bundle witnessed in the night, and his
curiosity was aroused. He went TO it,
opened it, and nearly tainted. For there,
neatly clad, carefully tucked in thick
blankets, bottle of milk in hand and
with smile upon its face. lay what Mr..
Forbis says it would take an even 10000
to buy from him-a pretty little girl baby,
Just about months old.
He could find no marks Of any nature
upon it to give him clue TO its parents
nor does he know why he was selected as
a foster-father. His wife 10 away and he
can only speak for himself; but he says
he will never part with the baby. In
this fact its mother unfortunate woman
that she must be to be forced, perhaps,
to forsske III, may find some comfort.
The little one has fallen into good hands.
Since the above was put in type it is
learned that the m others name is Harvey.

Rev. Cheadle and party, who returned
FROM the upper Ahtanum Monday, tell q
curious story about the snow they en-
conntered in the mountains. When
about twelve miles above Soda springs.
the snow wherever they would step turned
to blush or purple shade. and few
miles further along their footsteps were
marked by a bright crimson color. For a
long time they were unable to think Of
any solution for this phenomenon but
finally some one recalled that, 10 the vi
cinity OF the higher mountains, clouds Of
minute insects are often encountered
which, when crushed, dye the snow q
brilliant color. This Is the only theory
they can advance; but they intend to
provide themselves with microscopes and
return to the snow line for the purpose Of
ascertaining definitely as to the correct
ness Of this hypothesis.

This recent most magnificent fizzle in
the strike line contains so much OF a
moral that one might almost force upon
himself the belief that out Of the evil
good can still come. II legislation upon
this subject do not soon obtain it will
not be because abundant time has not
been given. Some strong laws are need
ed. II is not enough that these inhu-
man fiends who have held life and prop
erty in such disdsin shall escape with the
mere losing OF their battle. Punishment
should come as we'll. Pretexts all tos
psltry have brought ills unbearabe dur
ing the past two weeks, and the entire
nation has suffered. MISREPRESENTATION
is the first law OF nature" The United
States would do well to bear that in mind.
One such strike as this We have Just seen
broken ia enough for any number OF Year,
to come. Let US have means to stop
them in future before they reach matur-
ity; let them be throttled in their cradles I;
let a merciless, never-to. be- forgotten ex.
ample be made Of the leaders in the A.
X. u. fiasco. Punishment OF the utmost
severity must come. sooner or later. to
these agitators; and the sooner it begins,
just 30 soon will solution OF the strike
problem have been begun. These men
must be taught that it is one thing to
stop working themselves and quite an.
other thing to attempt by force to keep
other men from working in their places.
Capital has one or two small rights as
we'll as labor, and it should be protected
in the enjoyment thereof.
