the mum Der of dead will be increased
when all 10 known, is the record Of the
first day OF trouble here. although real
fighting has not yet begun. as the dspu-
ties are awaiting reenforcements before
beginning active operations
At 10 o'clock yesterday morning IL men
started TO work In the Strong mine on
Battle mountain. Shortly afterward .
large party OF strikers blew up the shaft
house with powder, causing = loss Of

OF giant powder down the shaft, which
was also exploded, killing all the inmxtea
Not more than 500 yards from the
strong shafthouse, 16 men who had been
engaged to 90 to work In the Independ-
encs mine, were surrounded In their
bunkhouse, and after long parley
agreed 70 surrender. Each one was
armed with rifle aud brace of re-

the Anaies mine, overpowering the
guards, after which they blew mp che
shafthousc, but the rumor has not bssn
verified. When the deputies are nnsIly
massed and the two forces come together

Senator Hill, on Monday last, II
a speech ON the Tariff Bill, deliv
cred himself of the following in
regard to the income tax clause
of the bill: against such q
scheme, unnecessary, ill-timed and
mischievous, suddenly sprung up
on the country in the hour of its
distress, undemocralic in its na.
ture and Socialistic in it's tenden
cies, ! enter the protest of the
people of the State Of New York
They utterly dissent from any pro
posal to get revenue for the gener
al government by taxing incomes
Their dissent is practically unani-
nous and altogether lmplacable.'
When Senator Hill first became
prominent as a politician he was
with "the masses against the
classes" but since his advent into
the Senate he appears to be drift
ing farther away from the ''people''
all the time.

SYDNEY, N. S. W., April 1O.-In
response to a general demand that
the government should afford as.
sistance to the unemployed, scores
Of deputations representing them
have waited upon the premier, Sir
George Dibbs, during the past two
mouths, the Cabinet by a majority
vote has given it approval to a
scheme of state aid by which the
government will bear the expense
of the clearing of 1000 farms of
100 acres each, and which will be
leased out to skilled people. 1t
is estimated that an expenditure
of 81, 100000 will make the land
ready for the farmer, and that the
state will make a goodly interest
on the investment by leasing the
land for wheat growing at the rate
of S1.25 pet acre per annum. By
adopting the system of small con.
tracts for clearing the land over
10000 people can be given EN-.
ployment.

EDITOR OF THE PRESS:
Perhaps you and your readers
would like to have some news
from this section of the county.
There is no news of particular in
terest outside of politics. There
is some dissatisfaction here with
the ticket put ont by the P. P.'s
last Saturday. There are several
of the leading Republicans here
who will not support it. They
consider that it is scoop and
that they and their party are being
used by a few dissatisfied Demo.
Gratis and ignorant Republicans to
put the P. P.'s into power. They,
of course, are on principle opposed
to the Democratic party and its
principles but will not be hood
winked into such a political trick.
They would vote fora straight Re-
publican ticket if one was nomina.
ted, but, as things now stand, they
will either not vote Al all or else
vote for the straight Democratic
ticket headed by Neal and Com
stock.
The farmers are all busy plant
ing and getting ready for the sum.
mer. We had a good rain. Vege.
tation is looking well for this time
of year. All the apples are not
killed as was first thought, tho the
peaches are all destroyed.

OlyDhant Robbers Hanged,

NEWPORT, ARK, April 6.-The
last hours on Thursday of the
doomed Olyphant train robbers,
Thomas Brady, James L. Wyrlck
and Albert Mansker, were cheer
ed by many Christian men and
women who came to offer the
doomed men all the consolation
they could.
There was no display of senti-
ment. Hill, better known as Mans.
ker, made heroic efforts to bear
up manfully. Brady gave way to
his grief in lamentations loud and
long. His terrible cries ofanguish
were heartrending. Again and
again would he eXclaim. with ter
rible emphasis, "Oh, my God, save
me from the eternal torments of
hell - ''Then he would cry: "Oh,
good God. take me as am; take
me as l am ~
The doomed men awOke about
8 o'clock this morning and poor
Brady began his supplications for
mercy again. At 6 o'clock they
made their toilet and then prayed.
A few hymns were sung and then
the death warrant was read. Hill
prayed aloud and fervently. He
prayed for his condemned brother
Brady, for the court officials, the
prison officials, both here and at
the penitentiary. The song, ~ am
glad however, no matter what the
world says" was sung and the
procession to the gallows was
taken up.
The prisoners mounted the scat.
fold with firm and steady steps,
and in a few moments more the
murder of conductor McNally had
been avenged.

Victory for Labor.

OMAHA, NEB., April 5.-Organ-
lied labor o-day won its greatest
victory when in the United States
Circuit Court Judge Henry q.
Caldwell handed down his decis-
ion in the Union Pacific wage
schedule contest. In the long
legal opinion this declaration of
the court stands out most proml-
nently:
"a corporation is organized cap.
ital; it is capital consisting OF
money and property"
"Organized labor is organized
capital; it is capital consisting Of
brains and muscle"
"What it is lawful for one to do
| it is lawful for the other to do"
at is lawful for the stockholders
and officers Of a corporation to
associate and confer together for
the purpose of reducing the wages
of it's employees, or of devising
some other means of making their
Investments profitable; it is equal
ly lawful for organized labor to
associate, consult and confer with
a view to maintain or increase
wages"
"Both act from the prompting
of enlightened selfishness and the
action of both is lawful when no
illegal or criminal means are used
or threatened
AS the opinion proceeded the
faces of the Union Pacific officials
heightened while those of the en-
ployes grew roseate as they saw
the drift of the decision and began
to realize what a remarkable vic.
tory was in store for them.
At it's conclusion the silence be-
came oppressive and until Marshal
White declared a recess not a
movement was made on the part
of the spectators TO break the spell.
AS to the far-reaching character
of the opinion the utterance of
Attorney Geo. L. Hodges, who
represented the engineers, is most
timely. SIT is the greatest judg-
ment in vindication Of the rights
of men pronounced by any court
since the historic judgment of
Lord Mansfield in the Somerset
case"
The opinion continues in force
the present rules and regulations
governing the roadmen, except
where different organizations vol
unfairly agreed to modify the over
time features of the present sche-
dulles. 1t modities the orders of
Judges Dundy, Reiner and Hallett,
made in the wage cases, the former
ordering the receivers to put the
new rules and regulations in force,
the latter restraining the enforce
ment of the new schedules pend.
ing a hearing between the receiy-
ers and the men,
1t lays down stringent rules as
to intoxication on the part Of the
employees who are held to be SER
wants of the court. And it lays
down new principles of arbitration
between the contending forces of
wages and capital, being in direct
opposition to the opinion of Judge
Jenkins in the Northern Pacific
wage matter. Scholarly and dig
nifed, it eXhausts the questions
which have been bitterly fought in
many instances since the century
began and is a complete victory
for the rights fthe toiling masses.

We are no admirer of Senator
Hill, but, while Governor Of New

any measure of benefit to the
masses. Bad association and op.

anything else.

The Bureau of the Mint has
made its estimates of the gold pro-
duction of 1898. which is $3.50, ,OO0,'
600. During the previous veal
the gold production was $138,
S62, 900. In the United States the
gain is $4,OO0,OOO, and in South
Africa, s6,OOO,000. This year the
production of the yellow metal
will exceed that of last year. The
low price of silver has turned the
attention of miners to the gold
fields, and there are more persons
now engaged in prospecting for
and mining gold, than ever before
In Colorado, especially, is this the
case. Before the next Presiden
tial election Colorado is liable tC
be one of the greatest gold bug
States in the Union.
