with apologies TO Rudyard Kip

general public.)
We've met with many pugs from
crost the seas,
An some of them was brave an
some was not;
There's Mace, an Mitchell an Maher
please;
But Fifty is the toughest of the
lot.
So here's to you, Fifty Witty, and
the boys will rush the can;
You are not bowling beauty, but
first class fighting man
We will give you your certi6kit an
il you want it signed
There are Others who will romp
with you whenever you're in

He took his chance among the Zea-

An knocked six men silly with a
smile.
He gave Maher Irrawaddy chills
Aud Sharkey, he dished him up in

But what he got from such as they
Was pop 10 what Corbett made
him swaller.
He held bis bloomin' own, the
papers say,
And man for man that Fifty
knocked him holler.
So here's to you, Fifty Witty, an
the misus an the kid;
Your programme was to lick him
an of course you went an did.
He thumped you right an left an
had you in the air,
But for all the odds agin you, you
licked him fair and square.
He hasn't got no beauty Of his own,
He's very short on personal charms
But we must admit the skill he's
shown
In usin' his long, befreckled arms.
He don't spend much time a-beatin'

He's fghtin' all the time in front

A happy day with Fifty on the rush
Will last a healthy pugilist year

AS Debs says, this injunction re-
strains him from walking in any Of
the public highways leading to the
mines. We have not, as our readers
are aware, high opinion of Debs; but
we think that his view is correct in this
case. A man has a right to ask an
other to stop work; he has a right 10
speak in public subject to the ordinary
police power of stopping disorderly
meetings. Labor combinations and
labor agitations are not unlawful, and
Debs does not appear to have exceeded
the ordinary rights of every citizen to
discuss public subjects in a reasonable
manner, to ask the miners to aid their
fellows in other regions by ceasing
work. and he has not failed to use his
influence to keep them from all dis
order and restrain the strike within
legal Ines
The matter should not be allowed to
rest with simple protest on the part
of the people and the press, but a thor
ough investigation should be made by
the proper authorities, and if Judge
Jackson has overstepped his authority
in this matter he should be impeaehed.
Infringement of the inherent rights of
the people must not be tolerated in this
country, because it is no part of the
duty of any officer of the government
TO interfere with the peaceful exercise
of any of the rights Of the citizen.

PURPOSE, PRINCIPLE AND
PILLS.

Our morning contemporary says that
neither the purpose nor the principle
which actuated so many thousands of
voters last fall to cast their ballots for
the Democratic candidates is now in
evidence. Our neighbor is mistaken;
the purpose may have been lost sight
of so far as it is concerned. and the
principal for which 50 many thousands
contended then may have lost its charm
for our neighbcr, but, thank the good
Lord, the great mass Of men and women
in Utah are still true. and can be de-
pended upon. It is because of the fact
that they will remain true to their con-
victions of last fall that our contem-
porary can see so much to fear in par
tisan election. and is trying to induce
the people to bow down and worship
the non-partisan golden calf.
Our neighbor very truly says it is I'M
wise to take a pill unless you are out
of fix. That is exactly the case The
Democratic party is both healthy and
vigorous and does not need a non
partisan pill to regulate it. The brand
may be all right fer the e. o. D.. but
for well man to take a pill means that
soon he viii be out of fix if there is
any virtue in the pill.

THE PEOPLES RIGHTS.

The injunction granted by Judge
jackson. in West Virginia, is a viola
ton Of the constitutional right OF free
speech. II is such reckless use of power
that incites riot and IS often response
bic for the loss Of human life. The
striking coal miners have behaved re-
markably well, and this, too, when it
was scarcely to be expected, because
they are most all foreign born and by
training and temperament are easily
persuaded to be disorderly. Their lead
ers have doubtless profited by the fear
ful example of the Chicago labor
troubles and have counselIed obedience
to law and the preservation of peace
and good order. The men have a griev-
ance, and so long as they proceed in
an orderly and peaceable manner to
rie-ht their wrongs. they are not only
entitled 10 the respect of all liberty
loving people, but the government,
state and national, is bound TO protect
them in their rights. Last Of all should
a Judge on the bench attempt to
abridge the rights of the people in the
least degree. by giving a strained con-
struction TO law, or assume power
which is not warranted by constitu-
tional or statute law.
Judge Jackson seems to have as
sumed extraordinary power in granting
this Injunction. He forbade Mr.. Debs,
not only from molesting with the prop
erty e the mine owners, but also from
approaching the mines, and prohibits
him from interfering, by word or deed.
in the company's affairs. Thus he is
enjoined from asking a man to quit
work. although nothing but moral
suasion is made use off This is going
too far. and we are glad to see that
the press of the country. east and
west. has condemned the action of
Judge Jackson in unmeasured terms.
The New York Tribune discusses the
injunction order at length, and among
other things. it saws:

THE END IN SIGHT.

All accounts daily point to large ac-
cessions to the ranks of the strikers
and instead of losing ground, the dis
affection extends over a greater area
of territory They are even leaving De
Arnitt and the property of which he
is at the head. So far no violence to
cause alarm or to invoke the arm of
the state in interference has occurred
and if such order prevails to the end
even if that end be no better wage and
no better condition for the miner, it
Will raise him in the estimation of the
American people and lead to the insti-
tuition of inquiry into the lives of men
working for wages and supporting fam
lilies which very few people of wealth
have given attention in the past.
The ordinary capacity of the bitumi-
nous coal mines of the country is con-
siderably beyond the regular demand.
If the number of miners actually on the
ground and dependent exclusively on
these mines for livelihood were kept
steadily employed. the total output
would undoubtedly exceed by a great
deal the total consumption. Therefore
what follows is the natural tendency
of owners and operators of coal mines
to engage in q ruinous competition
that compels them to keep down wages
and makes the life of the miner pitia-
bIe
Hence the only protection for the
miner is his union. In like manner the
mine owner finds his salvation in union,
or rather in agreeing among them
selves as to output, methods, prices and
the like. The miners Of the union and
the operators. by their spokesman. have
come together at times and agreed on
certain prices to be paid for the extrac-
ton of coal. But of late these agree
ments have not been lived up to and
wages have been cut down, so that the
position of the miner today is more
deplorable than ever before.
1t appears all along that the position
taken by De Armitt was the chief OBJ
stacle towards reaching arbitration. He
declared there was nothing to arbitrate
and his miners worked under contract.
He boldly said that the worst evils in
the coal mining controversy arose from
the dishonest methods Of many of the
owners, who used false weights and
false screens. in paying their men. This
is a grave charge made by one mine
owner Of others. certainly, and per
haps it can be substantiated. De Ar
mitt also charges that in mines other
than those under his control the miners

in coal mining districts, and |

THE STATESMAN'S BATH.
After He Becomes Accustomed to 1t,
He Likes Tt.

He Likes It.
New York Press: Be it known that
there are baths in the basement of the
capitol at Washington for the use Of
senators ard representatives. The SEN
ate baths are directly underneath the
senate library and the office of the
clerk of the supreme court of the
supreme court of the United States
They are for the personal use of SEN
atOrs, and are constructed of white
marble. And strange to say. there is
also water-cure apparatus hardly, 1
have never been able to understand
what senators want with a water-cure.
AS for baths, why they are for cOnstit-
uents y senator can offer to one of
his home political helps no higher COM
pliment than the use of his marble
bathtub. l have known men to go all
the way from Mississippi to Washing
ton for the privilege of bathing in Sen
ator Georges tub The senator himself
never used il.
The house baths are directly under
meath the hall of representatives. and
are for the use of the members of the
house. I have never heard of one be-
ing used by an outsider as in the case
of the senate baths. The explanation
is that senators can afford baths at
home, while many members of the
house cannot. The congressman who
can battle at home would never think
of taking a bath in the basement of the
capitol. The house has eight baths
four ordinary and four of Partisan
marble-ftted up with all the elegan-
cies of modern times. 1t is said that
there was once a member of the house
who had not bathed in 30 years until he
had struck one of the tubs in the
capitol. and that after he became ac-
customed to it he never appeared on
the floor without the assistance of the
sergeant-at-arms.

THE NEW TARIFF.
Officials of the Grand Trunk and
Canadian Pacific Not Disturbed.

Montreal, Que. Aug. 1.-THE officers
of the Grand Trunk system and the
Canadian Pacific railroad are not dis
turbed by the threatened upheaval to
be caused by the enforcement of the
new tariff laws. Assistant General
Manager Long of the Grand Trunk
railway system, when spoken to about
the matter, was quite surprised and
somewhat amused when told that it
had just been discovered that the new
tariff would require the breaking of
the seals on, and the inspection Of all
freight from foreign countries coming
into the United States by either his
railway or the Canadian Pacific. He
said:
we have not heard anything of this.
We have had no trouble thus far and
l do not expect any. Our bonded cars
have gone through all right and 1 think
the entire matter is greatly exagger-
ated'
When asked if such state of things
as referred to would not cause great
loss of time and money to his road, he
said: Il have no doubt that it might
Inconvenience us somewhat but as we
do not really know what is going TO
happen L cannot tell What we would
do about it and it is no use borrowing
trouble before hand"
At the Canadian Pacific offices at
Windsor station, President Sir William
Van Horne could not be seen, but his
private secretary, Mr.. Howard, spoke
authoritatively when he announced
that the officers of the company had
not heard anything about the rumored
change in the way of doing business
He did not think that it amounted to
anything and had not given the slight
est thought how to meet such a Situa-
ton. which had never been looked for
ward to. He said the road had expert
enced no trouble thus far.

G. A. R. ENcAMPMENT.
A Lot of Trouble Among the West
ern Roads.

Chicago, Aug. 1.-THE trouble
among the western roads over rates to
the Grand Army encampment at Buff
falo is on the increase The chief cause
of the decentralization seems to be in
the use of tourist sleepingcars, which
some of the roads are granting as a
concession. The Union Pacific has an
nounced a low rate from Denver for
the encampment, and this brings into
the trouble all the territory east of the
Rocky mountains. The western roads
which We're desi-Ju of keeping the
trouble out of their territory are feel
ing rather warm over the action of the
Union Pacific, and there will now be
a general scramble for the business.
The western roads have enlarged the
territory from which they willfrun ex-
