The Supreme Court of the
United States having refused the
application of Eugene V. Debs
and his co-labor agitators for a
writ Of habeas corpus, these con
spirators against property rights
and the peace Of the country, must
serve out their sentences in Jail.
When they have been released
from Imprisonment, they perhaps
will have learned the salutary
lesson that Uncle Sam is sufficient
ly powerful to suppress all labor
riots, which are intended and have
the effect Of stopping the regular
transis between the States OF the
U. s. mails.

THE WORKING MAN AND
FREE SILVER.

The great majority of our PEG
pIe render service for wages in
one form or another, and they are
compelled to purchase in the mar
kets everything they eat, drink or
wear, and in most cases they are
compelled to pay rent for the use
of Il home for themselves and their
families. Like the farmers, they
have no silver bullion to carry to
the mints to be coined at the pub.
lie expense; they have nothing to
dispose Of but their labor and their
skill, and as general rnle all, or
substantially all the wages they
receive must he used in procuring
commodities for the personal use
Of themselves and those depend.
ent upon them. They can not eat,
drink or wear the money paid to
them for their labor, and it is val
liable to them only because they
can exchange it for the necessaries
and comforts OF life; and there new.
er was a time in the history of the
world when the workingman's dol
lar would buy as much of the neces'
saries and comforts Of life as it
will buy now, and there never
was atime in the history OF the
world when the nottingham re-
ceived more good dollars for the
same amount of labor than he re.
ceives now in this country. Any
policy which reduces the value of
this dollar on the day it is earned
or the day it is expended, by d.
minishing it's purchasing power in
the markets, has precisely the
same effect upon the holder as if
the amount paid for labor was re-
duced.
If, therefore, the favorite argu-
ment of the advocates of free coin.
age-that the free coinage of silver
at the ratio Of 16 to l would dou.
bic the prices of all products-is
correct, the wages of the laboring
man would purchase under that
system, only one-half what they
purchase now. This would I'M
doubtedly be the case, unless wa
ges should be doubled, which, ac-
cording to the uniform experience
of the past, is a most improbable
thing. For more than a quarter
0 a century the working people of
the United States have struggled
earnestly and persistently, through
their labor organizations and 9th.
erwise, to increase their wages to
a point which would enable them
to live decently and comfortably,
by expending their earnings fol-
commodities at their present pri-
ces, and how long do you think
they would have to struggle in the
future to raise their wages to a
point which would enable them to
purchase the same articles when
their prices have been doubled I
No man in this audience will live
to see such a result accomplished,
and the laboring man who sup.
ports the free coinage of deprecia
ted silver dollars must be content
to live and support his family upon
what deprecated silver dollars
will buy. IMPOSITION OH this sub
ject is that when the laborer re.
ceives a dollar on account of hi.'
wages he has right to be assured
that it will be worth as much when
ne wants to spend it, as it was
worth Oh the day he earned it.

A POPULIsT OUTRAGE. We

could not conceive it to be posi-
BILE that the disgraceful incident
of the hanging and burning in eff
gy of Secretary Carlisle at Match
itoches, upon which we animal.
verified last week, could have been
inspired or participated in by any
considerable number of prominent,
influential or respectable citizens.
Now the Enterprise, a Democratic
newspaper published at Natchi
toches, while coudemning the out
rage, assures the public that the
dastardly deed was only perpetrat-
ed by "four or five of our most zeal
Gus populist friends" From this
we draw the inference that the re-.
spectacle element of the town of
observation-disclosures we expected and
believed-had no connection with
or participation in this most out
rageous indignity ever offered by
set of demented enthusiasts to
the good name, spotless reputa-
ton and exalted character of one
the purest Democrats, broad.mind
ed and cultured statesman and Ca
pable and conscientious officials
which our country-always prolific
of great men-has ever produced.

estinY Eastern Society.

estinY Eastern Society.
Desperation is a game Of cards
that is best described as q continuity of
sequences. regardless of suit. 1t is
played with three full packs of SO cards
each, and the most convenient number
Of players is IL. but eight or ten per-
sons will find it a very delightful way
to spend an evening. In a party of la.
dies and gentlemen the better way is fer
the six to challenge the other six
and then, sitting in couples at the table.
alternating the play.
The first duty is to select a banker,
who should also act as umpire for the
evening. The banker or dealer should
then shuttle the three packs Of cards to.
gether very thoroughly and count two
NESTS" of 80 cards each, the one to be
known as ladies nest" the other as
''gentlemen's nest" placing them at
opposite ends Of the table. Each player
then receives a hand of six cards, dealt
one at a time. These hands are placed
face down directly in front of each
player.
The play is from the banker to the
left, and each player turns up o card,
and the play continues until an ace Is
turned. The privilege Of turning the
top card of center nests is taken by the
first player of each side. When an ace
Is turned up. it is placed In the center
Of the table, and the fun begins. The
purpose of the game is to exhaust the
center nests, and the game is won by
the side exhausting their nest first. The
| sequences in the center. Of the table are
ace high to deuce, while the side Sc.
quences or partners hand are high o,
low. So that each partner plays on the
center sequences, his or his partner
sequences and his own. in effect play
ing wen hands in a IL hand game.
The fun Of the game is caused by the
penalty connected Herewith, which is;
No player is permitted by word, look,
sign, motion or suggestion to indicate
to the person playing any play or mis-
play possibls on penalty of FORGETTING
the play of said player and having the
chance. of q sequence pass to the mex
player at table. which would naturally
be al opponent
There is a great amount of sport il
this game for a social evening, and it il
very popular in the eastern cities. l

WATER AND LIGHT.
Special Session Of the City Oounoil-Prop
ositiof from Receiver Thompson to
Consolidate the Electric Light
and Waterworks.

At a special session of the city council
last evening Receiver Thompson made a
proposition to consolidate the manage
ment and running expense Of the city
waterworks and electric light plant. He
offers to move his electric light power
over to the waterworks plant and run
the latter for S75 per month with it's 81
services and for each additional service
SIS cents per month. This is a reduction
Of liz cents on each new service or a
saving to the city Of go per month on
the running Of the plant.
A committee consisting OF Aldermen
Larkin, Waskey, Dempster, Farley,
Schmidt and Vedder and City Attorney
Porter was appointed to confer with Mr..
Thompson and fix the terms and agree If
possible on q definite contract. With
what favor the proposition will be met is
uncertain, but q member of the council
committee made the remark within hear.
ing Of this reporter that the committee
as constituted was not q committee to
make the deal. Outside views are con-
ficting. Some argue that unless there
is coupled with this proposition another
to sell the electric light plant at q stipu.
lated price when the city sees fit to buy
it, the present proposition is not worth
entertaining; while others more far see.
ing in their own estimation, affect to see
a great big schame in it to unload the
electric light plant upon the city.
In conversation with Receiver Thomp.
son OF the subject this afternoon, the
foregoing views were suggested to him
by a DAILY LEADER reporter and he said
for the present he had no other thought
than that Of economizing for himself as
receiver OF the electric light plant and al
the same time doing likewise for the
city. The consolidation could be made
a saving to both in the matter Of fuel
wages Of operators and machinery. Az
regards the sale of the electric light
plant to the city the litigation in which
the plant is involved would preclude him
from making a sale Of it at present
though were It free from legal restric.
tions he believed he could make arrange.
ments with the bondholders other than
the bank who hold $4,000 of the $4,000
bonds, so that he could sell it to the city
on favorable terms. 1t was his duty to
do the best for the bank he could and he
thought the other bondholders could be
got to agree to any proposition he would
be willing to make t. the city to sell the
plant.
