who. for number of years. were in
the service from which you attempted
to drive them.
BY what right dared you lay violent
hands upon these industrious and hon.
est laborers? BY what authority did
you assume to say they should not be
permitted to earn bread for their fam
lilies? You assaulted one of them while
carrying provisions home for their
daily meal They are good citizens,
obedient to the laws of their state, in
which you are a stranger and where
you have nor earned the right of citi-
Zenship. Better citizens than YOU they
coneede the right of competition; they
do not demand that others shall be de-
prived of their property, the right to
labor, that they may reap the bene-
fit of such injustice but they only ask
that. without interference through vio-
lence, they may have fair competition
You are a tyrant and bully, who would
forge chains on the hands of your fell
low laborers, and would imprison their
minds to conform to your selfish and
arbitrary notions.
This you attempted to do by VIC
lence and force under cover of an ex-
element due to a purpose of others
to exercise a lawful right All the
power of fhe law may be invoked to
maintain the right of free and unre-
stricted labor against the aggression of
tyranny and violence, such as yours,
and I can conceive of no higher duty
than to administer the law in such
way as TO warrant others of the seri-
Gus nature of your offending.
More such utterances from the bench
in times of riots consequent upon
strikes would have a salutary effect
upon those engaged in or who contem-
plate engaging in them Strikes are
lawful and frequently commendable,
but when strikers seek to deprive
others of their rights then the law must
step in and preserve those rights and
punish those who would infringe upon
them.

ar'KINLEY AND THE Az. A.


The A. P. A. has resolved. that be-
cause of his record as reported by the
national advisory board, we herewith
pledge ourselves to, by our influence
and efforts, accomplish his defeat
The very head and front Of McKin-
ley's offense, SO far as the A. P. A is
concerned. is his political utilization
with the Roman political hierarchy,
this utilization having been proven, to
the satisfaction of the A. P. A, by
the affidavits of reputable members of
the order" And then it is solemnly
stated that these affidavfts have never
been controverted, except by the I'M
sworn statement of Major Mckinley
himself.
This is Il terrible arrangement to be
sure. Mckinley is a member of the
Methodist church, presumably in good
standing. This very fact is sufficient
to refute any assertion that he has
been the pet of any Roman Catholic
body. And if he had what is the diff
ference? American citizens who are
members of the Roman Catholic
church have as many rights, and they
are just as sacred. as those citizens who
are members of the Methodist or Pres
byterian church or any other church,
or Of the A. P A
What the power of the A. P. A. is no
one can say though it is claimed to be
very considerable, and if Mckinley is
nominated at St. Louis it may do
much to injure his chances Of election.
If he is nominated he should not be
defeated because of the charges
brought against him by that secret,
oath-bound organization. which would
arrogate to itself the power to say
what is and what is not genuine
Americanism. No one can lay down
any hard and fast rules as to just what
it is, but everybody outside of this
secret organization will agree that it
is not a. P. Aism; in fact that A P. A
ism is the very antipodes of American
ism because it would prescribe some
millions of citizens on account of their
religious belief. And this in land
that boasts above all of it's religious
freedom. When any class of citizens
can be prescribed politically because of
their religion to that extent they are
deprived Of religious liberty.
If nominated, Mckinley should be
defeated, but because he is in favor of
a protective policy that is prohibitive,
and because his policy favors trusts and
monopolies as against the people; he
should be defeated because he is a
politician and not a statesman; be-
cause when the American people are
demanding that there shall be no
straddle on the financial question he
has not the courage to declare his
financial views. For these and many
other reasons he should be defeated,
if made his party's candidate for presi-
dent

AN INTER STATE COMMERCE. DECIs-
ION

From the press reports it is rather
hard to understand the grounds of the
decision of the United States supreme
court in the case of bennington vs.
the State of Georgia, involving the
constitutionality of the law prohibiting
the running of freight cars in Georgia
on Sunday.
The opinion of the court, delivered by
Justice Harlan, holds that the legisla-
ture had right to designate a day of
the week when all work should be sus-
pended. There is no new doctrine in
that. What is difficult to understand is
that part of the decision relating to
interstate commerce, it being held that
the law was not directed at interstate
! commerce. and it must be respected
until superseded by some national law
with which it was in conflict
If the state of Georgia has the right
to regulate and prohibit the running
of freight cars on Sunday and she
exercises the right and it is not in con-
fiict with the provision of the federal
constitution relating to interstate COM
merce. how can the United States en-
act any law that would come in con-
fiict with that law and supercede it?
Georgia's rights belong to her as a
sovereign state and do not come to her
through the constitution of the United
States
It is easy to see how Georgia may
prohibit the moving of freight cars on
Sunday within her borders when such
cars are not being used to carry on in
terstate commerce, but when they are
so used it is not so easy to see how she
can. The decision seems to be in direct
conflict with the original package de-
cision. That decision went as far as
it was possible to go in extending the
power of the general government under
the interstate commerce clause of the
constitution.
In this case of bennington VS..
Georgia, Chief Justice Fuller and Jus
tice White dissented. In the original
package case Chief Justice White de-
livered the opinion of the court

TALES OF THE DAY.
Couldn't Nuke Time.

He was general superintendent of a
big Northwestern railroad system, and
whenever his trains got to running late
the clerks in his Office always scented
trouble. Word was Immediately passed
around that ''bhe old man" was liable
to have another mad fit if So-and-So
hauling No. =, didn't pull into the end
of the division on time, and everybody
got out of the way who could.
When the morning overland train,
which pulled out just about the time
the superintendent reached his desk,
arrived at the end of the first division
it was reported twenty minutes late
He Immediately wired the conductor
to know the cause, but got no answer.
Several divisions were passed over the
same way each report showing the
train losing time, and repeated tele-
grams as to the cause failed to bring
any response from the train conductor.
Finally the 'old man" could stand it
no longer and sent a rush message:
For Gods sake, why don't you make
timer
This answer came back from the
conductor:
How in can with three car
loads of receivers on board ?'-Chicago

The Cincinnati Enquirer publishes
aker CtJoey B. is devilish sIy') and
Mark Hanna as to who shall control
the patronage in Ohio in the event that
Mckinley is elected president.
The compact between the senator
elect and the candidate is purely bust
ness arrangement. The first part of
the deal was carried out when the Nc
Kinley faction, in spite of the split up,
gave its support to Foraker for the
senate. In return for this Foraker did
what he could to boost McKinley's
nomination in the state convention
Mark Hanna, so runs the story, again
goes to the senator-elect and solicits
his aid. He was asked what there was
in it for him F'oraker). All the way
through it was business with all senti-
ment left out. Hanna replied pledging
him the patronage of the state of Ohio
in the event that Mckinley should be
nominated and elected by his aid.
This was satisfactory, but ]. B. was
TOO well acquainted with the market
value of talk and verbal pledges to neg
lect to have documentary evidence
CT the bargain. The end of all this was
that papers were drawn UP and the
state of Ohio given over to Foraker
as it's feudal lord. This touching story
ends with these words: Foraker has
this little document, and if there is
anybody that doesn't believe it, all he
has got to do is to turn Forakers peck
cts wrong side out and he'll find"
The whole story is full of interest
and great detail The defect in it all
is that it comes from man who is in
close relations with Quay and Plat
interests.

THE WORLD MADE NEW.

When Spring, with maiden tenderness,
Steals shyly hither to caress,
To gladden. with her pretty mirth,
Our happy, fiow'r-bedizened earth;
My dear, my dear, what pageant days
Will greet us IN the country ways.
When Eden joys come back again,
When hawthorns whiten down the lane.
The little wistful moon. my friend.
VIII peep above the gable-end,
And see the hillside orchard white
With blossom all the fervent night;
The cottage panes will glow at dusk,
The darkness gather. sweet with musk.
And weary kline, with tagging feet,
Pass lowing down the village street.
And then. at daybreak, bark, oh, hush.
Beneath the stars the early thrush
Piping, while heaven glimmers gray,
His morning carol. clear and gay.
He sang the self-same song, you know,
In Paradise, long years ago
And keeps, estranged from all regret,
His warm, brave heart, unvanqWshed
yet.
For him, for US, the world is new
When daiSied meadows CLEAN with dew;
All not to rs the time seems late
Who come but now to love and mate!
Content to deem it is most wise
To watch life out with tranquil eyes,
To kiss warm lips, and win thereby,
A little comfort ere we die.

The Provo Enquirer says: Opposition
to the address of the late general con-
ference seems to be confined alone to a
few formerly active Democrats. In
Sprirgville James E. Hall, county as
SCISSOR and bishops counselor, voted
against the document last Sunday. The
address is being accepted, however, as
binding rule ol' the church by the
great majority of the Latter-day
Saints. 1t is d good rule and ought tc
have been in force long ago. That it
should have been in force long ago OF
at all is not certain. The future alone
can determine its wisdom or unwisdorns

great as for good.

THE RAINEs LAW.

When the Raines liquor law was I'M
der discussion in New York it was gen.
orally opposed by the press of New
York city. It's friends claimed that as
a revenue producer it would be great
success; that the revenue the state
would derive from it would be wonder
full; that it would be so great that ether
methods of taxation would scarcely be
needed. Such has not proven to be the
case. 1t seems to be a failure in all
respects
Up to the 14th instant the total
amount of moneys collected in the
state for fhe issue of tax certificates
under the Raines law, exclusive Of
moneys collected in Otsego and Schuy-
Ter counties. is SS,546,S7O, of which one
third, or s1,182,12S is the states share
1t was anticipated. or at least stated,
by those who favored the bill that the
amount of revenue that would come to
the state from this source would be
about three times this amount.
The law has been failure so far as
putting check upon the liquor traf-
nc is concerned. 1t has been the ex-
cuse for turning saloons in New York
into hotels and clubs for the pur-
pose of avoiding the Sunday provi-
sions OF the law. In one respect it has
been a great success. 1t has furnished
Tom Platt with patronage to more than
quarter of million.
