There was good deal of quiet and
rational observance of Labor Day yesttr-
day by the people for whose benefit espeo-
tally it was instituted; but in this state
at least there vera few, If any, demon
strations. We ara inclined to think that
the making of the day one of quiet enjoy
ment is much better use to put 1t to
than to make 1t ths occasion for dema-
gogical narauRues on the rights of labor
and the greed Of capital. The average
laborlng man is Intelligent enough to
know his rights, and brave enough to
maintain them when they ara attacked,
and he Is not in need of stimulation In

getting the Capital to thu Cong ressmen.
His idea Is to have the Capital moved
round letting different cities take turns
in being the Capital. He thinks the near
ness of the present capitol to the East gives
that section great advantage, and SO he is
going to have 1t taken out West for a
spell to even things up. As possible cap
itals he names Kansas City. Omaha, To-
peaka and Denver, some of them-close to

TREATED AS CRIMINALS.
Officials of Treasury Department Arrest
ed on Charge of Picking Pockets.

Washington, March S-Thc secretary of
the treasury has received from Superin-
tendent Pritchett, of the Coast and Geo
delic survey strong protest against the
arrest of two officials of his department at
New Orleans during the Mardi Gras fes-
tfv.ties in February last.
1t appears from Mr.. Pritchett's letter that
Mr.. Phelps and Mr.. Frisby, aids in the
Coast and Geodelic survey, both men of
high standing and character, were arrested
and taken to prison on the charge of being
pickpockets. Ihey were refused permission
to communicate with friends, and were sub
jected to shameful indign. ties. The cell into
which they were put is said to have been
vile beyond description. They were COM
PEELED to spend the night in company with
low criminals, and were subjected to kicks
and blows by the guards. and were treated
IN a most inhuman and outrageous manner.
Superintendent Pritchett says that these
gentlemen have a r ght to look to the de-
Partment for protection, and therefore he
asks that the matter be brought to the at
tenton of the United States district at
torney at New Orleans, and that a demand
be made for the dismissal of the officials
concerned. Mr.. Frisby and Mr.. Phelps are
on duty on the schooner Quick. Secretary
Gage has as yet taken no action, but 1t is
likely the matter will be investigated.

THE INSULAR EXAMINERS.
Colonial Board Will Proceed With
Their Work in Porto Rico.

Washington, March SIT Is said at the
war department that the insular examin-
ers, as that body Is commonly known as
the colonial board, is officially designated
will pursue their functions at all points in
Porto Rico until the attorney-generals
opinion is obtained constituting the Foraker
resolution declaring against the bestowal
Of any of the franchises in Cuba or Porto
Rico.
1t is not intended that any action shall
be taken in the matter of franchises, but
the examiners will make careful study of
the conditions and propositions and thus
the war department will have at hand all
the information necessary for its guidance
should it be decided that the resolution is
not prohibtive.
But aside from the examination of the
questions relating to franchise the insular
board has many other functions, all of i'm
portance. These relate to education, taxa
lions and generally economic and industrial
r1atters that might be properly regarded as
subject to governmental regulation SO that
the board will have many fields of work
outside of franchises

Trouble At Howe.

Fort Smith, Ark. March S-The situation
in the coal field is very encouraging to the
strikers. At Wilburton all non-union men
have been laid off by the Wilburton Coal
company and no further attempt is being
made to take coal out there.
AT Hartshorne a few imported men are
at work in mine No. l. All other mines of
the Choctow company are idle. Strikers
report that some of the guards at Hart
shrine are frequently intoxicated and act
menaeingly toward the idle miners. Trou-
BILE from this source is apprehended. At
Coal Gate the Coal Gate and Lehigh mines
are entirely idle and everything is quiet. An
to consider the question of resuming work
fell through and no meeting was held.
There is some excitement at Howe and
trouble is not unlikely there. The United
Mne Workers committee met Superin-
tendent Needham, of the Rabbit mines,
and attempted to effect a settlement The
superintendent refused to sign the scale
and has notified the miners to vacate the
company's houses. Deputy marshals and
Indian police are guarding the mines. The
trouble is expected soon.
Many of the miners have left Spadre and
have gone to work on farms in the sur
sounding country. The Arkansas Anthra-
cite company has offered an increase but
the men have not yet accepted 1t. AT
Huntington everything is quiet and no
work is being DONE

LIVELY ROW
Provoked in Texas Legislature by the
Bailey-Wheeler Resolution.

Austin, Tex, March 8.-The senate of the
Texas legislature this morning had the
livelest kind of row over the considera-
ton of the house resolution endorsing Con-
gresham Bailey in his action in fighting
against the seating of General Joe Wheeler
in congress, adopted by the house on Mon
day. An attempt was made to Kill the
resolution by referring it to a committee,
which was defeated by close vote-13 to
IA.
An amendment was then adopted provid-
ing that the adoption or the resolution
should not be construed as a reflection on
Congressman Joe Wheeler. An amend
ment setting forth that the resolution
should not be considered as allying the
Texas senate to Bailey's support for United
States senator two years hence was voted
down by the-close vote of 10 to IA After
much speech making, during which sena-
tors expressed themselves as beng opposed
to Bailey-worshippin in any such
marked manner, the friends of the resolu-
ton managed to get it adopted by hur-
ried viva voce vote, thus ending the con-
troversy at point where Bailey was get
ting the worst of it.
