DSDS APPEALS TO The PEOPLE.
A NEW LINE OF kTTAok.
II. Wants the Public to Stop Patronlb-
ing Pullman Cars Until Thsir
Owner Surrendera.

Mcssrs. Debs Howard, Keliher and Rogers,
the American Railway Union officials, have
issued an address to the public, the substance
rf which is as follows:
TO the American Public
at Is almost universally conceded that the
Pullman company, through the oft-repeated
reduction Of wages, excessive rents and many
other causes, has grievously wronged tts en-
ploycs, and whatever may be said Of the
great strike whIOh resulted In consequence OF
such grievance, the arbitrary refusal of said
Pullman company to submit to arbitration In
my form (even TO decide the question, II
there was anything to arbitrate) is proof pos.
tive that said company had NO faith in the
justice of its cause; and fears the disclosures
that are certain to result from an honest In
vc&tigation, and In view Of tho heavy losses
euta!led upon the country, such obstinaoy on
the part OF the Pullman company IL deserv-
ing OF the seyerest condemnation.
ave propose that the Pullman company
hall be brought to Justice and in way that
shall not necessitato strike aud iss attend
ant ills.
I'VE have faith In the American peoplet
they uphold justice; they love fair play. And
aow, in the name of justice and fair play, We
appeal TO the great American public, to every
man and every good woman not to ride In
Pullman car until the Pullman company does
justice to Its employees. Lot tho cars run ab-
soiutely empty. No friend of labor, no friend
of humanity, will occupy seat or . berth IN
a Pullman car. Let this policy be inaugur-
atcd and we will then sec how long tho rail-.
road companies will be bound by theft con-
tracts, as they have Induced the people to be-
licve, 10 haul Pullman cars.
''Wc propose to continue this fight against
tho Pullman company through good and evil
report, and without regard TO consequences,
until justicc shall be done. There will be NO
surrender. We will use every available and
lawful means to press the contest"

TratIickers (mostly women) with

The Country Overrun With Them, -
Proved by the Census of 1890.
Marrying and giving in marriage
Is purely o personal matter in this
happy land of Independence. Per-
haps more than in any other country
in the world it is a matter OF senti-
mcnt; and so may it be until the end
OF time Is the aspiration OF all true
lovers and happy welded folks. But
at the risk of brushing of some OF
tho bloom of fancy from this subject.
says the Boston Post, it is interest
ing to regard it in the cold light OF
figures, which tells what kind OF an
aggregate is made up by the Ameri-
can people toward matrilnony. Such
figures are furnished for the hrst
time by tho census OF io9o' former
enumerations not having been con-
cerned with every important feature
of tho social condition OF the United
States.
The first thing which catches tho
attention in the tabulations OF TIE
census bureau on this subject is tho
vast number of young bachelors. At
the age OF "a years only twenty men
out of 200 are married, and even up
to thirty years nearly one-half still
remain single. The women do bet
ter. At tho age OF twenty-fonr near
ly half OF them have become wives.
and before they reach thirty years
nearly three-quarters have found
their mates. As Il rulo women mar
nv at an earlier age than men. ana
this accounts in part for the differ
encc. But the great fact remains
the vast army of young men OF Amer
lea remain bachelors at an age ut
which their grandfathers were the
heads Of families and bound to tho
the community by the strongest Ties
| known in our social system.
Exact comparison is, OF course,
impossible, owing to the absence OF
figures for previous years. but 1t Is
safe to say that this habit of bach
elorhood has increased and that tho
tendencies of modern conditions OF
life are toward its further growth.
As the standard OF luxury-which
we have come to call COMFORTS
raised, the cost of maintaining
family becomes greater and the re-
| sponsibility becomes more formid-
able The young man who can sup
| port himself in ease hesitates to as
sumo greater burdens. which must
| involve some sacrifice OF his habits
and may bring tho need OF greater
exertion as IL bread winner than he.
+, in his bachelor freedom. likes
to contemplate. And so the
young woman. seeing new oppor-
tunities of agreeable occupation
opening up on all hands for those OF
her sex who have capacity for bus1-
ness, for art, for industry OF many
kinds, may be induced to greater
Indifference to the sentiment which
leads to marriage. Yet, which Is
the better stateP If long life is the de-
sired thing. these census figures have
something of interestto tell the young
bachelors OF America They show
that OF all the American men and
women who have reached tho age or
65 years. ninety-fou out OF every
| 100 are married. All but six who
have persisted in their bachelorhood
have dropped out of the world.

RIOT AT LAS VEGAS.

s.ct nRc,rx

United States Troops Called Upon to Peo-
tect OHicars.
There was an inciplent riot at Las Vegas Oh
the night ofthe 26th, which but for the pres
ence Of federal soldiers might have been much
more serious than it was.
According to a special dispatch to the Den
yer Republican the trouble was the result OF
an attempt to arrest a desperate Mexican
named Jose Galegos, who was wanted for
participating In a lynching four months ago.
Gallegos resisted and was fatally shot BY VIM.
Green, the deputy sheriff.
This incident aroused the Mexican people
of the old town for revenge, and at clock
Thursday night several of them, armed with
warrant entered Green's house on Bridge
street, and were met by Ely Green, brother
of the party they were seeking. While he
was parleying with the officers his brothrr en-
tered and was Immediately fired upon by one
of the bellgerent parties. This was the signal
for general fusiladc, in which Ely and Billy
Green poured lead from their Wlnchcstcrs
into the crowd with deadly effect. When the
crowd retreated 1t was found that Juan San
doval was dead and several escaped with
wounds of serious nature.
The sheriff then made his appearance and
demanded that the Green boys surrender
which they refused to do, on account OF
knowing the uncertainty Of safety at the
hands of the Mexicans.
City Marshal Clay commanded the use oi
the telephone to call upon the United States
troops stationed at East Las Vegas, and the
call was responded to on double quick by
Lieutenant Crawford and detachment of the
Tenth infantry.
With fixed bayonets they quickly surround
ed the beseged house, and after spirited
consultation with the Greens, now heavily
armed. the agreement was arrived at to take
the Green brothers to military headquarters
until safety could be assured.
The Mexicans were much excited and furth'
ar violence ia feared.
