The list might be extended Indefinitely.
When q capitalist oppresses labor he
first becomes a monopolist. His power
to oppress comes through some kind Of
a monopolistic special privilege con-
ferred upon him by unjust legislation.
TO be a monopolist one need not neces-
sarily possess great wealth, though the
greater his possessions the more power
he has. There are petty monopolies as
we'll as those of gigantic proportions.
One need not go beyond the limits of Los
Angeles to find monopolizers of natural
resources who possess the spirit of
greed to such an extent that they are
ready to take advantage of unjust laws
established by stupid or corrupt legislat-
ors so as to deny equal rights to the
many and confer special privileges upon
the few. With all laws framed in con-
formity with the demands of justice
there could be no permanent monopoly
of either natural resources or labor pro-
ducts.
Under such conditions labor and capi-
tal hand in hand, would move along
without friction in the peaceful develop
ment of the diversified and inexhausti-
BILE resources with which our matchless
country is provided.

Republican tendencies seem to be
much the same in Philadelphia as in Los
Angeles. The Ledger, in speaking of the
Republican factions in Philadelphia
that have been quarreling over the dis
tribution of municipal spoils says:
"Now that they are apparently making
arrangements to again occupy the same
nest it behooves the taxpayers of the
town to have a care of their pocketbooks.
The animosity of the factions has been
source of public security. When two
dogs are after the same bone, to which
neither one can show any indubitable
title, there is some chance for the real

! The New York World cannot quite
bring itself to the support of Bryan, but
it is not blind to the grievous faults and
Misrepresentation of the other side. In
his letter of acceptance Major Mckinley
asserted that the present tariff law is a
failure and must give way to a law con-
structed after the manner of the Nc
Kinley law of 1890. Commenting on this
statement the World says: wherein is
it a failure? 1t Yields considering the
depressed condition of trade, all the
revenue that was expected from it. The
shortage comes from the nuillifcation of
the income tax, which would have pro-
duced $4,000, 900, while last years de-
ficiency was only $26,000,000 But with
the big hole knocked in 1t by tax dodg-
ing plutocrats the law yielded in the bad
trade year just closed $160,000,000. This
is $29, 900 more than the Mckinley
law produced in it's last year, and within
$17, 10000 of that laws yield in 1892. AS

extravaganza of second billion dollar

The name and fame of Bryan have an
extraordinary attraction for the public
and have drawn the entire population
of many cities in the middle west to see
and hear him. His presence and his
speech invariably confirm the attraction.
At South Bend, Indiana, crowd of 25,-
900 people assembled to hear him, but
the fact, as other facts, was dismissed by
Republican newspapers with insignific-
ant headlines. The greatest significance
of the present campaign really lies in the
intense desire of the people to listen to
their champion, and his magnetic influ-
ence converts any curiosity into deep
interest.

Troops Were Called Out TO Prevent q
LyuchinG.
Roseburg, Or. June 23.-Upon the
request of the mayor, Governor Lord
ordered ont the militia here last night
to protect prisoner James Dixon, who
shot and killed Charles Rice, ON the
l4th, from mob violence. The order
had the desired effect. The mob,
hearing that the Jail was we'll guarded,
did not come. Sheriff Cathcart took
the prisoner to Eugene for safe keeping
on the north-bound overland. Having
walked a short distance, Cathcart sig
nailed the train, and getting on board
with his prisoner, was soon beyond
the reach of the would-be lynchers.
The first intimation that an attempt
would be made to lynch Dixon was
last night, when John Dixon, brother
of the murderer, rode into Roseburg
and informed the sheriff that large
mob was forming at Blakesley's, the
scene of the crime, with the intention
of proceeding to Roseburg and demand.
ing the prisoner.
The sheriff and his deputies at once
made preparations for defending their
charge. but at last, fearing that the
mob would be too strong for chem TO
cope with, consultation was held
with the mayor of the city, which re-
suited in request being made upon
Governor Lord for aid.
The Grim for which Dixon is await
ing trial W; the murder of Charles
Rice at ba game near Blakesley's,
on last Sunday.
The two young men were old ene-
mics, and their quarrel was reopened
over decision concerning the game,
when, after few hot words between
them, Dixon drew a revolver and fired
twice at Rice, both shots taking effect,
and resulting in the instant death of
the young man.

Atlantic City, N. j., June 2S.-

attempted to beat the approaching
Camden express train across the track.
The train was running at the rate of
sixty miles an hour. The Hubers
were thrown under the wheels and
ground to pieces. Henbeler was thrown
against the station, with horse upon
him.

Fishermen's Union Has Formally Voted
to Go to Work,
Astoria, June 23.-At meeting of
the fishermen's union, held tonight,
under call made for that purpose by
the executive committee this afternoon,
the strike was formally declared off, by
a majority of 81, in total vote of 45O.
In anticipation of the action of the
meeting, the men have been applying
all day at the canneries for their nets.
The militia have left for their homes.
1t is asserted by all the fishermen that
the compromise comes at late day, as
few, if any fish have been coming into
the river during the last few days.
The catches last night were uniformly
large, one of the Scandinavian Packing
Copmany's men being paid $182 for
his nights work, while few of them
delivered less than 1900 pounds.
The appearance of the fish indicates
that they have been in the river for
some days at least, and it is predicted
that as soon as all the boats are out,
the river will quickly be cleared Of
fish, and small catches will be the rule
until the July run comes.

Leadville, Colo, June 22.-As a re-
suit of discomfort and fruitless efforts
for an adjustment extending over sew
eral months, 800 miners tonight walked
out, owing to the refusal of certain sill
yer mine managers to increase their
wages from $3.50 to So per day. The
situation is peculiar. Three large en-
terprises, known as the Smith. Moffat,
the Small Hopes and the Welden, can
not afford, they say, to pay higher
wages, but can afford to employ large
force at $2. 80 per day. Some other
silver mines are paying So per day,
and the miners want all to pay this
figure.

MORE ATROCITIES.
MurderOus spaniards Continue Their
Deadly Work.

New York, June 24.-The American
three-masted schooner Mabel Hooper,
which has just arrived brings news of
fresh atrocities by theSpanish troops in
Cuba. The Spanish commander of
Sagua had orders from Havana to see
TO it that all the tobacco planted near
that place should be taken to that city.
A large plantation near that place is
owned by Mr.. Gonzales, said to be an
American citizen. The tobacco from
his place had not been moved for the
reason that all his horses had been
stolen by the Spanish soldiers. He
was sumomned before the commander
and asked why he did not move his
crop He gave his reason, which the
commander said was satisfactory, and
turned him over to lieutenant with
instructions to return him. The lieu
tenant did so, but ON arriving at his
plantation the lieutenant ordered him
in his house and then set fire to it.
The smoke soon compelled Gonzales,
his wife and five children to leave the
house, and as they walked out of the
rear door, the front of the building be-
ing in flames, all were shot Gown.
Gomez, the insurgent leader, arrived
on the scene few days later, and
when he was told how Gonzales and
his family had been murdered, he be-
came furious.
