ALL MEN Equal.

In the settlement of the difficulties
arising out of the recent lockout at
Cripple Greek, the Editor of the
twentieth Centuary) says:
"The mine owners, when they found
what action Governor Waite was de-
termined to take, consented to arbi-
tration, and though they backed out of
the first agreement made by their re-
representatives., they consented to a
second, and the strike or lockout was
ended, with victory on the miners
side. Three dollars a day is again to
be given for eight hours work, and no
discrimination between Union and
non Union"
As concerns Union and non Union
employees this settlement was per-
fectly right. True it was not such a
settlement as the Union men wanted.
But considering the workingmen as a
whole the settlement was GER
tainly equitable and just. By what
right, or by what principle of JUS
tice, do Union men insist on boy
cotting and discriminating against
non-Union men simply because they
do not belong to unionl Where do
Union men get the authority to say
that none but Union men shall la
Dor in certain place, or perform a
certain piece of work? Is not the
life of the non Union man just as
precious as that of the Union MANI
Do the Union men through the simple
act of organization acquire rights and
a quality of justice from which the
non Union men are debarred? They
surely do not, and it certainly is
wrong that there should be so serious
a division in the laboring forces. A
comparatively few men have, through
illegal, or at least unjust means sue
ceeded in getting under their control
eighty per cent. of the wealth of this
world. They seek to own not only
the product of of the laborer but the
laborer himself. Labor has this great
money monopoly to combat 1t has
the great money aristocracy as its foe,
and cannot afford to have its ranks
divided. If it hopes to maintain its

Suit Against the Southern Pacific.

Los Angeles, July ia most i'm
portant bill was filed in the United
States Circuit Court to-day by Dis
trict Attorney Dennis and Special
United States Attorney Call, under
special direction of Attorney Gen
eral Olney. It is bill in equity
against the Southern Pacific company
of Kentucky.
The bill asks that all corporations,
which have combined with the South
ern Pacific company, be separated
from that corporation, and that the
agreement under which they are now
working be annulled and Cancelled.
If the government wins it means
that the Central Pacific of California,
of Arizona and of New Mexico and
the Santa Monica branch, Long Beach
branch and in fact all the lines which
go into the make up of the Southern
Pacific system will be separated and
operated by their own set of officers.
The combination forming the South
ern Pacific of Kentucky is alleged to
lie in a conspiracy to retard and re-
strict commerce. The bill is brought
under the same U. S. statute under
which proceedings against the South
ern Pacific striking employees were
commenced as combining to retard
commerce.

of Illinois and Missouri, calls In ques-
ton the Justice of law which places,
as they believe SO arbitrary, and un-
der favorable circumstances, an ex-

institutions. zone of the fundamen-
tai principles of our government is
that except in times of war the mill
tary shall be subordinate to the civil
authority" but under the present law
the President has the power to re-
verse this principle and make civil
authority subordinate to Military, at
his discretion.
The propriety of placing the Mill
tary power, in the hands of the exc
cutive was question which was re-
garded as of vital import by the franz
ers of the constitution and after due
deliberation it was decided that plac-
ing so great a power under the ex-
elusive control of the President was
regarded as dangerous, and was &C
cordingly placed with the congress.
It was afterwards found that in order
that the Military power might be call
cd into service with more promptness
and dispatch than the slow processes
and stiff formalities of the congress
would permit, and in 1895 the law was
passed giving the President power to
call the military force into service
whenever necessity required. Wheth-
er President Cleveland exercised good
judgement or was justified in calling
out the Federal troops at Chicago, is
a question upon which there is great
diversity of opinion. Suffice it to
say, he certainly had the power so to
do, if the disturbance was of sufficient

A TRIPLE MURDER NEAR LOVE-
LOCK.

Lovelock (Nev.), July ID. "A triple
murder tragedy occurred last night at
8 o'clock about twenty miles from
here.
Robert Logan and wife of Cotton
wood had quarreled and divorce pro-
ceedings were instituted by the woman.
Other men had written letters to her
and Logan often threatened to kill
some of her male friends.
A few days ago the stage left for
Cottonwood and Mrs. Logan was a
passenger and Dan Lovelock driver.
While at Cottonwood Logan, who
slept in the same house, made night

attack on Lovelock while the latter
was asleep and cut deep cash in his
head
Loyelock was unable to return here
the next day, and Mrs. Logan drove
the stage back and returned with it to
Cottonwood Wednesday to bring the
wounded Lovelock to town.
She had passenger out, Fred Sui
Ivan. On the return trip here Mrs.
Logan drove. Dan Lovelock, very
weak, rode on the front seat and Sui
Ivan inside. At dusk Logan armed
with rifle rode up on horse and de-
manded that Mrs. Logan come with
him. She refused, saying that she
was coming to town, and he said that
he would come too.
About o'clock, as the stage was
ascending slight incline, shot was
heard and Sullivan in the back seat
fell forward with bullet through the
heart.
There was another shot, and Love
lock fell into Mrs. Logan's lap dead.
Logan then rode up to the stage, jump
ed in, wheeled the horses, and declar-
ed that he would throw the two men
in deep well five miles from the
scene of the tragedy, cut up the wom-
en- and send her after them.
She persuaded him to water the
horses. While STOPPING to get buck
ct under the wagon she took pistol
from Lovelock's pocket, and when
Logan arose shot him. He cried for
mercy, but she shot again, and he fell
behind the stage dead She sent one
more bullet into his body.
She threw the bodies of Sullivan
and Lovelock in the wagon and COW
cred them She took Logan's horse,
changed the saddle to stage animal,
pulled the harness and halters from
the other horses and turned them
loose.
She rode to Lovelock and gave her.
self, up to the officers at l o'clock in
the morning, told her story and teams
were sent to the scene. The bodies
were brought here to-day.
Lovelock and Sullivan were shot in
the back through the heart. Sullivan
was an entirely disinterested party.
Lovelock was the stage proprietor,
and as far as known there was no in
timacy between him and the woman.
Before the woman shot Logan he
had declared his intention of killing to
other male friends of hers. Love-
lock and Sullivan where both young
men well and favorably known here.
The people here denounce Logan as
coward, and praise Mrs. Logan's
courage. She is a small woman and
about 26 years old. The excitement
is great.

Mr.. EDITOR In regard to the
falrest way of carrying on elections
under the prese Mt law, | suggest that
the Peoples party men in each
township meet together and petition
the county commissioners to appoint
certain good men for judges and re-
gIstrar, and if they do not appoint
good men let these men 60 to the
ones that have been appointed and
tell them they intend to have fan
election and fair count tell them
they mean to have it. \ rascal can
not stand to be watched. Let these
men see that every name Is right on
the books, go to the polls, and let one
Of these men attend to the tickets
and the other two see that the votes
are put IN the right box. Let the
boxes be counted one at time il It
takes until midnight. Send one of
the three men to the county seat with
the returns. That will give one man
from each township. Think we can
have a fair election by this method.

AGO.
In the New York Press is a re-
markable prophecy by Thos. H.
Benton nearly seventy years ago,
taken from Crockett's Life of Mar
Tin Van Buren," in which Senator
Benton said:
We must look forward to the time
when the public revenues will BE-
doubled, when the civil and military
officers of the federal government
will be quadrupled, when its infiu-
ence over individuals will be multi
piled to an indefinite extent, when
the nomination of the President can
carry any man through the Senator
and his recommendation can carry
any measure through the two houses
of congress, when the principle Of
public action will be reduced to this:
The President wants Ny vote and |
want HIS patronage. I viii vote as
he wishes and he will give me the
offices | wish for. What will this
be but the government of ONE
man:
