GOMPERS EXPECTED IT.
He Foresaw the Acquittal of Sheriff
Martin.

New York, March 11.-SamueI Comp
ers, president of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, denounces the decision
in the Lattimer trial. He said to the
Washington correspondent of the Her
aid:
IT am in no way surprised at this de-
cision. I had predicted it from the
first. The result could not be surpris-
ing to anyone who had followed the
case and knew how it was presented to
the court.
THE sheriff and deputies were the
hirelings of the mbined influences OF
the mining corporations. Judge Wood
ward himself, through his family is so
connected that any closing of the mines
means to him a loss of considera bic
part of his income. Under these cir
cumstances the result reached could
not fail to be manifestly unfair.
THE companies, sheriffs and the judge
and counsel for the defense, seemed
moved by one motive, that this verdi
let should show that workers have no
rights which corporations are bound to
respect, and that their mercenaries
have the right, if it is deemed necessa-
ry to take even human life at their
employers caprice, especially when that
life belongs to a foreign worker"
Mr.. Gompers declined to discuss the
probable action of the large labor Orga-
nizations as a result of this decision.

PTNGREE,s LATEST.

Governor Pingree has attacked the
railroads of Michigan on both TANKS.
In addition to his unending fight for
lower rates he is determined to make
them pay more taxes if he can. With
this end in view he has called the state
legislature to assemble in extra session
March p.
His reasons for his action and what
he expects to accomplish are embodied
IN his proclamation which is as follows:
by section of article of the con-
stitutiOn of the state of Michigan it is
provided that the governor shall take
care that the laws are faithfully exc
cuted.
BY section I of the same article he is
given the power to convene the legis-
lature on extraordinary occasions
BY section Il of article IA it is made
the duty of the legislature to provide a
uniform rule of tax.
by section u of the same article all
assessments hereafter authorized shall
be on property at its cash value
These provisions have been a part
of the fundamental law OF the state
since 1850. In violation of the spirit if
not the letter, of these provisions of the
constitution laws have been passed
from time to time by which railroad
companies, express companies, tel
egraph and telephone companies
now owning, according to their
sworn returns, at least One-third
of the property of this state, are re-

sixth of the taxes levied for state,
county and municipal purposes, leaving
their just proportion of supporting our
schools, asylums and other public in
stitutions and defraying the public ex-
penses to fall upon the farmers, labor
ers and manufacturers and other prop
erty owners of the state.
Taxation has, in many parts of the
state, become in the nature of cOnfisca-
ton, the amount levied being greater
than the property taxed can be made to
produce. regard the situation as ex-
traOrdinary and one that demands an
immediate remedy, which can only be
given by the legislature.
1t is the duty of the governor, under
his oath of office, to see that the consti-
laws faithfully executed, and to sub
NIT to the legislature, from time to
time, his views upon existing mischief
so that a remedy can be provided.
In obedience to this duty, hereby
call the legislature of the state to meet
IN extraordinary session on Tuesday,
March p, 1898, at noon of that day to
consider the question of the taxation of
railroad companies, express companies
and such other matters as shall be SUBJ
mltted by special message"
Governor Pingree may not attain a
realization of his hopes but this move
of his will stand as another advance in
the commendable effort to compel all
corporations to pay their just proper
ton of taxes and to compensate the
people for valuable franchises often
given with little thought and without
just consideration.

BY WIRE AND WATER.
Power Will Be Conveyed to San Fran
cisco From the Mountains.

San Francisco, March 11.-Prince Po-
niatOwski is at the head of a company
which proposes within a year to bring
at least 10000 horse power from the wa
tiers now running to waste on the west
ern slope of the Sierra Nevada noun
tains in Alpine, Amadore and Calveras
counties, by means of an electrical line
no miles in length, to this city.
The water supply embraces the Blue
Lakes Water company's system in the
above named counties, which consists
of various natural lakes and artifcially
constructed reservoir basins, ranging
in altitude from 8,109 feet to $50 feet
above the sea level
A system of canals will convey the
water to the point of its conversion into
electrical power, which will be convey
ed through a heavy copper wire. The
wire will cross San Francisco bay at an
elevation of 325 feet over the shallow
waters opposite San Leandro, where
there is not much traffic, and on it's
way here will pass through five coun-
ties.
The cost of the plant is estimated at
81 .OOO, 900. Many prominent electricians
and capitalists are interested in the en-
terprise.

First get an idea. It's a good thing
to have about you.
Don't call on the MUSES. to befriend
you. They are too busy attending to
others whose requests are in ahead of
you.
Tt is advisable to procure a rhyming
dictionary. Although this will blast
your hopes, it will be merciful to your
readers.
Avoid the temptation of copying Mae
ternick and Verlaine. If you must write
morbid verse, create a shudder of your
own.
Remember people like things they
can't understand. Preciosity is a good
pose.
Don't lie around in the woods in the
snow looking at nature. It's foolish.
Try to get some other occupation.
It's better in every way.
