take am inclined to believe we have
nothing to expect from them in that
line.
THE A. r. u. MEN.
just now in Idaho, and in fact all
over the country, I find the Republi-
cans and Populists are trying to work
the A. R. U. men. What is in their
favor, is the fact that Eugere Debs,
and W. L. Rodgers, both argue in
favor of the government owning the
roads. Both are warm personal
friends of mine, as well& as are-many
others of the grand officers of the diff
erent organizations and I would do
neither them nor their cause the
slightest injustice. And yet they are
not infallible. They are liable to err
even to greater extent than those in
the ranks-for theirs is mission to
look ahead on new lines for la,bor's en-
ancipation, while the rank and file do
not overleap themselves in pursuit of
new and untried theories.
While Eugene DebS writes me that
the A. R. U. was downed by the, gov
eminent, and not the railways, he is
much too honorable and truthful to say
other than this in connections: Labor
met its defeat through division in it's
own ranks. Had every employee in all
the different branches of the transport
folded their arms, and so continued to
look upon silent traffic for twelve
hours, the general managers and the
government, and all the outside gem
eral managers and governments of the
earth, would have been powerless to
move trains. Soldiers can fight, but
they can't take time card" and get
over the road. 1 say that when labor
meets Waterloo, it must be charged
yrO1r oil
get together, unified in interests
and a common and compact basis,
then do so politically. But don't go
wrong when you make tho start
Don't follow after any Twill o. the
wisp' that will lead you astray, but
exercise what mental acumen you
possess by virtue of intelligent and I'M
trammeled observation.
ANNIE MAY ABBOTT.
Annie May Abbott gave an exhibit
ton here last Wednesday evening, and
while the attendance was light, the
audience was an enthusiastic one, and
are SO still. Had she remained and
given another exhibition, there is no
doubt but the town would have turned
out Ell masse. Bald headed men and
youths of tender years still congregate
and talk over the wonderful some
thing" there is about the little lady,
and fairly glow as they tell how queer
they felt every time they touched her
on the stage. She performed all those
feats Salt Lakers are so thoroughly
conversant with. One of Pocatello's
staid citizens was fioored by her, and
in this way: he would persist in keep
ing his hand on her shoulder long
after time was called, but he quickly
put both hands in his pocket with a
crestfallen and injured air when she
turned to the audience saying He
seems to like it-don't YOU Think

way. Washington is the wickedest
place on earth. 1t is the home of the
