Capital and Labor.

Circuit Court Judge Caldwell, at
Omaha, Neb., handed down a de-
cision sin the Union Pacific wage
schedule contest, which has attracted
wide attention. This declaration
stands out most prominently in the
decision:
"a corporation is organized capt.
tai; it is capital consisting of money
and property. Organized labor is
: organized capital; it is capital con-
sisting> of brains and muscle. What
is lawful for one to do is lawful for
the other to do. II & lawful for the
stockholders and officers of a cor
poration to associate and confer to-
gether for the purpose of reducing
the wages of its employees, or of de-
wishing some other means of making
their investment profitable; it is
equally lawful for organized labor
to associate, consult and confer with
q view to maintain or increase
wages. Both act from the prompt
ing of enlightened selfishness and
the action of both is lawful when
no illegal or criminal means are
used or threatened.

An exchange in summing up the
political situation, says: "The
truth is that the wretched system
of protection, persisted in for three
decades of constantly towering
tariffs, has produced a national
nightmare, in which the monopolies
are seen sitting astride Congress
and blocking the road to reform,
while Coxey's forlorn army, with
its crazy dreams of communistic
legislation, persues its weary way
to Washington to furnish the an
tithesis to McKinleyism. Inside
the Capitol are the protected mil
lionaries fighting for their tribute;
outside, just directly, will be mob
of unprotected paupers, a small
contingent of projections three
million victims, clamoring for Wet
uals. Corporate greed and COM
munistic folly will camp together
at the seat of government. 1t is
indeed time to lift the banner of
true Democracy higher and blazon
on its folds the sturdy declaration
of John G. Carlisle: This country
does not belong to either the mo-
nopolist or the communists, and
the people will save it from both. ~

INDIAN NATIONS.


Another Plan Proposed Looking to n
Division of Their Lands.
MUsKoGEE, Ind, May 1.-The Dawes
commission has withdrawn its first
proposition to the Choctaw and Chicka-
saw nations, and presents for the con-
sheraton of these nations another plan,
as follows:
To divide all the lands now owned by
the Choctaw and Chickasaw nations,
not including townsites, among all citi-
zens of the TWO nations according to the
treaties now in force, reserving the coal
and minerals for sale; townsites and
coal and minerals discovered to be the
subjects of special agreements between
the parties, and such as will secure to
the natives and to those who have in
vested in them just protection and adj
justment of their respective rights and
interests therein.
All invested funds and all moneys de-
rived from the sale of the townsites,
the leased district, as well as all moneys
found due from the United States to
either said nations to be divided per
capita among their citizens, according to
their respective rights under the treaties
and agreements.
If an agreement shall be reached with
the Choctaws and ChickaSaws a terri
torial government shall lie formed by
congress over the territory of the two
nations and such other of the five
civilized tribes as may have at the time
allotted their lands.

a great many people who are in

contend that the free coinage is
not Democratic but Populist doc

years before there were any Popu-

a coopershop on Rawson street, in the
northern part of the city. and led
through the business district. The first
destination aimed at was Grand Cross-

close to the Indiana state line.
Mrs. DIR. Greer and two children in

Persons who were at first inclined
to laugh at the Coxey army, which
started out with less than hundred
men, and grew by almost impercep.
tible degrees, have begun to look at
the movement in a more serious
light. And well they may, for the
crowd is fast assuming the proper
lions of any army, and about 5000
determined men are now moving on
to Washington. Their course has
been peaceful one SO far, but five
thousand hungry, idle men make a
pre- ity big number to turn loose on
a single city, even ifthey are peace
able.

coal industry from Pennsylvania to

900 men have thrown down their
tools and stopped work. They de-
clare they will not ONTO the mines
again until their wages are increas-

The strike of the coal miners has
thus far been peaceful which leads

their employees will solve the diff

Mr.. Cleveland, in his letter to the.
Hon. chauncey f. Black, President
of the National Association of Dem
ocratic Clubs, presents the duty of
the party and its Representatives,
the following forcible language:
@The National Association of
Democratic Clubs and every other
democratic agency should labor I'M
ceasingly and earnestly to save our
party, in this time of its power and
responsibility, from the degradation
and disgrace of failure to redeem
the pledges upon which our fellow
countrymen entrusted US with the
control of their government"
Gall who are charged on behalf of
the democratic party with the re-
demption of these pledges should
now be impressively reminded that,
as we won our way to victory un-
der the banner of tariff reform, so
our insistance upon that principle
is the condition of our retention of
the peoples trust, and that fealty to
party organization demands the
subordiDation of individual advan-
tages and wishes and the putting
aside of pettyland ignoble. jealousies
and chickering's, when party prin
ciples and party integrity and par
ty existence are at stake.

The following from the Wetzel
Democrat is unanswerable free trade
doctrine and we endorse every
word of it:
"There is nothing that is made
that can not be better made in the
United States than any other coun-
try. There is nothing that Is made
that is not often worse made in the
United States than in any other
country. Even smokeless powder,
recently first invented in Europe, is
now better made in the United
States than anywhere else. What
need of protection for people who
are masters in all the useful me
chanical arts, who lead the world in
manufacturing skill. What the
United States wants is commerce,
free and unrestricted commerce
with all the world. Without the
firing of gun, but in the marts of
trade the heather can peacefully be-
come our Inheritance and the ut
termost parts of the earth our pos
sessions.
