Qualified to Act as Judge.

Buffalo Bill once gave show in Carson
City New, and on the opening night the
house was packed to the doors. The audi
ence. however, went away dissatisfied Le-
cause Mr.. Cody himself did not appear. The
celebrated cowf oy when the time came for
him to startle the audience with his deeds Of
daring, was not to be found. SO the good
people of Carson dubbed the show fake
ana after the first night only few attended.
Charles B. Locke, the manager of the show,
brought a suit against Buffalo Bill to recover
damages. 1t caused great sensation
in Carson for. according to the
san Francisco News Letter, the resi-
dents of that town knew very little
of the merits Of Thespians of any kind and
there were few, If any. who could honestly
tell whether or not il was more gratifying to
the audience for an intoxicated actor to APP
pear on the stage and make a fool of himself
or remain behind the scenes in the arms of
Morpheus. The judge OF the court did not
like to decide the case between MeSsrs Locke
and Cody, and it was impossible to find jury
with sufficient intelligence to understand the
matter. Finally 1t was agreed to let sam
Davis decide the case. SO the sage
bush humOrist was brought before the tribu-
nal and was closely questioned by the judge
who wanted to see how much Mr.. Davis knew
about the drama.
Have you ever been in a theater, Mr.. Da-
vis.' asked the Judge
Yes. sir"
do you think you can tell the difference
between man who is intoxicated and
man who is SObert'
Most assuredly," answered Mr. Davis.
Did you ever hear of theater where the
play drew largely on the first night and con
tinued TO draw largely during the run of the
play"
Yes sir"
Where"
In London. 1t was tragedy"
who wrote TT"

Now, Mr.. Davis, did you ever hear OF
theater whtfe the play drew largely on the
first night and only eight or ten people on
every night thereafter
Yes sir"
"Where:'
In London 1t was a tragedy also"
And who wrote that tragedy"
Il did"
Mr.. Davis was unanimously selected to de-
eide the suit, which he did in favor of Buffalo
Bill.

I think so, jackson. had considerable
experience with cyclones that summer
in Kansas. But l learned to handle
myself so that ! did not nina
them much. I soon saw the fallacy OF
depending on cyclone cellars and that sort OF
thing. The fundamental dif1culty OF all such
things is that you try torhOld yourself hrmly
in one place. 1t is as if ship IN
a gale should tie up to post sup
posing midocean posts for the time
being, instead of driving before the
tempest. The first cyclone that summer, Of
course went down cellar, like other folks
MY horse was soon blown away. The next

Progress Of the Boycott.

The strike ordered by the railway
union to enforce the boycott against the
Pullman cars in order to force the Pull
man company to make terms with its
employees in the town Of Pullman hasn't
the sympathy of the public, and the
chances are that it will fail TO accomplish
its purpose. Sympathetic strikes are
seldom successful. Even the strikers
recognize the folly of such strikes, an
hence engage in them in a half-hearted
way.
The members Of the railway union
have no complaint against the railroads
which they have abandoned. They have
struck simply because they have been
ordered TO do so by their officers. Few
of them probably know anything Of the
merits of the trouble between the Pull
man company and its employees. And
yet, at the command of the officers of
their organization, they have tied up the
railroads Of nearly half the continent.
1t is apparent that the railroad com
panies viii never consent to the demand
of the union, namely, to abandon the use
of Pullman cars. They cannot afford to
do so. They need the cars for transporta-
tion of passengers. Other sleeping cars
are not obtainable Besides, they are
under contract with the Pullman company
to use the cars. If they should break
their contracts they would be liable for
heavy damages.
The main reason, however, why they
cannot afford to yield to the strike is that
if they did 50 they would practically have
to abandon the control of their roads
The railway union would run the roads It's
demands would have to be complied
with, however tyrannical and oppressive
they might be. A refusal would be fol-
lowed by a strike on all the roads whose
employees are in the union. The president
of the union and his few advisers would
be in position to dictate to the roads
Their power would be enormous, and
they would not be able to use it wisely,
even if they were disposed to do so, be-
cause in so large a body of men there are
always many who have a grievance of
some kind, and If the union was not used
as they desired, they would demand a
change of officers. 1t is clear, therefore,
that the railroad companies, if they are
to retain the control of their property
have got to defeat this strike.
Chief Arthur, of the locomotive engi-
neers, is a level-headed man. According
to our dispatches he has ordered the en-
gineers to stick to their engines. He does
not see that the engineers have anything
to do with the trouble between the Pull
man company and its employees in its car
shops
1t is regrettable that there are not heads
Of other organizations of railway employees
who are gifted with as much Judgment as
Chief Arthur.
When the strike is over there will be
thousands of men, who were earning good
wages, out of employment They will have
only Mr.. Debs, the president of the rail
way union, to blame for their unhappy
predicament.

newspaper containing a report OF Mr.. BRYAN
speech at the Omaha silver conference last

struck him with especial force. 1t read as
follows
The desire for money is as universal as
the desire for food. We must use silver
whether 1t is mined in Colorado or in Aus
tralia, or whether it falls like mama from the

second shot was fired by the train robber

Helping the Populists.

The republicans of the north are help
ing R. F. Kolb, of Alabama, in his cam
paign for governor. Kolb is the head of
the oppositio, TO straight democracy.
Under the Kol banner are popuiists, re-
publicans and = few dissatisfied demo
Gratis
The northern republican leaders are
helping Kolb because they want the dem
ocrats beaten. They would like to see
the democracy beaten in every one Of the
southern states. They are not partial TO
the populists, but are willing TO use them
TO accomplish the object they have in
view, namely, the breaking Of the solid
south They think if they can wrest
some of the southern states from the dem
ocratic party their chances will be i'm
proved for getting control of the govern
ment. l. is not improbable that they
even entertain the idea that if the democ-
racy should lose control of any Of the
southern states the Republican party
would eventually capture them.
We do not know whether the republi
cans are helping the populists in this
state or not. If they are not it would not
be surprising if they should. II would be
in accordance with their wishes if the
populists should elect two or three con-
Rressmen from this state, and it would
CRAFTY them if the populists should elect
their state ticket.
In view of the fact that the republicans
are trying to lessen the strength of the
southern democrats in congress and plot
ting to get a foothold in the southern
states no true democrat anywhere in the
south can afford to be Indifferent to the
success of the democratic ticket.
Those democrats in this state
who are threatening to boycott
MIR. Atkinson are making a mistake. He
is a man of ability, and there is no reason
to doubt that he would make good gov
ernor. If he should be nominated every
democrat should do his best to elect him
by a big majority. If he were incom-
petent there would be some excuse for
being Indifferent TO his success.
Knowing what the purpose Of the re-
Reblican party is in respect to the south,
democrats in every southern state should
do their utmost TO increase democratic
maiorities over those of previous years.
Let the democracy fight for its organiza-
ton and its principles In fight of this
kind there should be no difficulty in over
looking differences in respect TO men.
