hand and the greed and rapacity of capital, which grows instead of being satiated by the requirement. of wealth on the other. The idea which is na- tural to the human mind that each has right to use his own in accord ance with his own will is still promin- ent, and will protest against the sug- gestion of judicial interference. But the maxim of law, "where there is wrong, there is remedy,n should be made true as to the wrongs which capital seeks to impose upon labor, or labor upon capital. That is not liber- ty which by it's exercise interferes with the exercise of a like liberty in another. The employment of labor on the one hand by capital, and the con- sent to such employment on the other by workingmen, establishes a relation so far reaching in it's consequences as to present broad and high field for apt legislation in it's regulation.
 Should these suggestions not meet with your approval l should be pleas ed to have the false factor or fallacy pointed out.
 With sincere personal regards I re- main, yours very truly,

 send streets, i" the headquarters of the Southern Pacific system of railroads Certain it is that MT. Mills is a well informed man as well as an original thinker. The following letter from him, in regard to the great strike, re- gently collapsed, is both timely and Interesting and provides food for sober thought and careful delibcration. It ia addressed to Colonel A. B. Hotch- Kiss, Attorney for the Southern Pacif- ic in Los Angeles and was, by him giy- On to the press.
 DEAR SIR:-I have your esteemed favor of July 4th, addressed to the Hon. Wm. F. Herrin, 1t having been handed me for answer l have noted its contents carefully and will give the matters therein effective attention later
 Some public misapprehension need to be cleared up. In the first place the American Railway Union did not noti- fly the Southern Pacific Company to discontinue the Pullman service. It made no proposition of any kind con tingent upon such continuance. It or tiered Its members to refuse to hand le trains to which pullmans were at ,ached. The issue was brought on by the refusal of the tiremen, brakemeh and switchtenders to discharge the duties they were employed to perform in the movement of trains carrying Pullman cars. When these men re- fused to do their duty others were asked to take their places. This they construed into a discharge, whereup- on Debs ordered the Southern Pacific Company to be tied up. Nothing was proposed t0 the Southern Pacific Com pany which it could arbitrate; nothing even in the form of request, came to 1t. A simple arbitrary interference on the part of the surbordinate employ ces in the operation Of the road was the only notice the company had of dscontinuance. Inquiry naturally re- suited in the disclosure of the differ cnces between George NJ. Pullman and the men hired by him.
 The Southern Pacific Company owns a -fourths interest in the cars it runs and enjoys a three-fourths in the profit derived therefrom. It may be competent for man in a contest wi sh another to ask the assistance Of his fellow men; but it is neither right nor just that he should force another to take his side of the quarrel by in fiicting upon him punishment when the sufferer was in no respect a party to the grievances of which he com plained and had no power of redress. The Southern Pacific Company was in- nocent of offences against the employ. ees of Pullman, and powerless to re. dress their wrongs.
 Beyond them, the orchardsts, and merchants manufacturers and all the Industrial interests in the country were innocent. To make these suffer because quarrel existed between a corporation and the men it employed in Chicago was an exhibition displaying an utter disregard of the natural rights of men. How may the shippers, who are confronted with bankruptcy to-day because their products cannot be car rIed to market, redress the grievances of the Pullman employees.
 When Debs and the American Rail. way Union entail upon them financial loss, they put themselves beyond the pale of the sympathy of all just men,

A Problem In Wizardry.

We want to know why persons who
believe in wizards, or, at all events,
consult wizards, nearly always prefer to
believe in men or women who are of q
race inferior to their own or in circum-
stances which prove that their occult
powers are of no use to themselves. The
rule is not invariable, for there have
been great wizards like Paracelsus, Rog-
er Bacon, Michael Scott or Cagliostro,
who were acknowledged by those who
consulted or feared them to be in all
ways their superiors, but it is seldom
broken. In all the letters on country su-
perstitions which we have published,
and the much greater number for which
we could find no room, the wise" man
or woman has always gypsy blood or
some popularity of appearance marking
out him or her unfavorably from their
kind. The wizard of India is usually q
naked savage, while those who resort
to him are civilized beings clothed care
fully in muslin. The reverence of the
whites for the black Obeah man or
woman in the West Indies is the SUBJ
ject of countless narratives, especially
in the French islands. -London Specta-

Slave Catching In YaMquin,

While in most parts Of the world, ex-
cept Africa, slave catching is becoming
a thing of the past, the practice is still
carried on to some extent in Tonquin in
spite of the efforts of the French to put
an end to it. The practice of exporting
them as slaves came about in this way:
In 1885 the Chinese soldiers who in
vaded Tonquin, which was in revolt
against China, found themselves encum-
bered by prisoners, but at last decided
to ship them to China and see if they
could not sell them. 1t was at this time
that emigration agencies were recruit
ing in China thousands of workmen to
toll on the guano islands of Chile. The
hundreds of male prisoners were easily
disposed Of to these emigration agents,
and the women and children who were
among the unfortunates were sold to
we'll to do Chinese.
This opened a new trade, although at
first it was not easy to sell the women,
because wealthy families did not wish
to have servants with black teeth,
caused by their practice of chewing the
betel nut. So small price was asked
for them, however, that all the women
were finally sold Today these women
are in demand in some parts of western
China. AS servants they are gentle,
obedient and laborious and are so high
ly esteemed that they command a good
price. Exchange.

THE A. r. U. STRIKE.

Scarcely is the coal strike ended, than
another labor difficulty, which bids
fair to exceed the coal miners strike
in it's far reaching effects, is Inaugural
ted. The big dailies come out with
great headlines, "All traffic stopped
"All trains tied up" And the reason
for it, which is not reason at all, is the
strike of the workers in the Pullman
car shops. The Pullman workmen,
dissatisfied with their wages, quit
work, as was their right. The Pull
man company refused to acceed to the
demands of the workmen, as the COM
pany had right to do.
And now comes the labor organiza-
ton known as the American Railway
Union trying to prevent railroads
hauling Pullman cars. The Railway
Union has no personal grievance
against the Pullman company. 1t is
solely sympathy" strike, which will
do more toward turning sympathy
from organized labor than any other
thing which they could possibly do.
The strikers are proceeding with the
utmost defiance of public rights and
contempt of law. Mail trains are de-
layed and passenger traffic, if conduct
ed at all, is at the risk of life and limb.
The idea that every time few
workmen cUnnot dictate wage scale
to their employers, business must be
stagnated throughout the whole coun-
try is wrong and should be corrected.
In the present case the Railway
Union is interfering with someone
else'S business.
The trouble between the workmen
and the Pullman company can only be
settled by the parties concerned. The
railroad strike will not help matters in
any way, and the lawlessness and mob
violence INDUCED in by the strikers
will SO arouse the public mind against
labor strikes" as to cause the ruin of
organized labor.

THE Rev. Sam Jones has been talk
ing about the populiSts and says they'll
never get to Washington. He says
they want the government to loan them
money at 2 per cent, when the govern
ment is borrowing money at per cent
to maintain credit. Here is what the
Rev. Sam says: "They want to borrow
money from the government at 2 per
cent when the government is now Dor
rowing money at 3. We hear great
deal of fool talk about the rich getting
richer and the poor poorer under our
present law. There never was a great
er lie and I'll prove it. There's nothing
the matter with the law. Its the man
that's at fault. There's a lawyer on
that side of the house makes twenty
thousand year. Here's little petit
logger whose family is starving. The
law is not to blame. Here's a physi-
clan making ten thousand year.
There's little doctor over in the other
corner that can't make his salt. The
law is not to blame. l preach nearly
every day to eight thousand people,
and here's little preacher sitting be-
hind me that can't average two hun
dred. The trouble is not in the law,
brother, it's in your noggin. The diff
ference is organic. If all the wealth in
the United States were divided out to-
day each man would get about 81, 100,
and in less than six months some fell
lows would be riding in palace cars
and others would be walking ties
and bowling for another divvy."-Cres-
