At the nineteenth annual conference
of the American Federation of Labor
which met on Monday at Detroit, Pres
ident Gompers presented his report in
which were a number of items which
should start the trust organs of the
country to denouncing labor unions
again. Referring to the wholesale cor
railing of 1,200 miners by General Mer-
RAM and the enforcement of the anti
union edict by federal authority, Mr..
Gompers said: The whole proceed
ing is SO outrageous as to bring a
blush of shame to the cheeks of every
liberty-loving American. If. as al
legged. the imprisoned men are guilty
they at least should be given a fair
trial before jury of their peers, con-
fronted with their accusers, and, if
guilty, punished; if innocent, they
should be given their liberty, and their
wrongs should be redressed. This. con-
vention in no mistaken terms should
express its keen indignation and en-
phatic protest against this outrage
upon human rights

1t is gratifying to learn that Ben
Hur" is dramatic success. 1t doesn't
meet the requirements of all the great
critics, some of whom confess that they
never read the book, but it is a draw
ing play. 1t suits the people, just as
the book did. For eighteen years Gen.
eral Wallace refused to. allow the
dramatization of his story, but when
THE Christian and other novels made
so much fame and fortune for their
authors after being staged. he seems
TO have seen another star in the east.
If the best parts of the book are in
the play there will be enough of thrill
ing interest to keep an audience on
the alert for three well spent hours any
night. The only danger was whether
or not the religious flavor could be
maintained without shocking the pre-
JUDGES of some, but we have heard no
criticism of this feature.

amy Judge Baslxin named the men
President Mckinley had appointed un-
der these circumstances. too.
The Tribune's reply is that this state
ment lis most contemplate" 1t also
tries to shield the president and excuse
the fact that Republican polygamists
are holding office in Utah by saying
that this charge is alike skulking and
insincere. Maybe President Mckinley
appointed to petty offices some men
who had been polygamists. But the ap-
pointments were long ago, before any
excitement was sprung and when we all
believed that the manifesto was being
obeyed"
Talk about being skulking and insin-
cere. Think of one who advised the
Mormon people to practice deceit in or
der to obtain statehood referring 10
such man as Judge Baskin in that
way. Look at the cowardly shutting
for President Mckinley, the covert ex-
oneration, the sneaking defense of
poiygamist postmasters in that quota
ton from the Tribune-examine it in
the light of its denial that there is any
craftsmanship in this fight against Rob-
ertsl Maybe President Mckinley ap-
pointed polygamists. Tut, tut.

attended many political meetings,

ing the truth of this charge, and
from the information then and since
obtained there is no doubt in my
mind but that such marriages since
MILFORD Woodruff, as president of the
Mormon church issued the mani
festo prohibiting polygamy, plural
marriages have ceased and the mass
es of the MorInons understand
that such marriages are no longer
sanctioned by the church. While
such is the case, it is true that some
of the old polygamous relations are
kept up, not, however, by permission
or connivance of the church author
tiles.
Here is the Tribune's reply to the
foregoing:
polygamous marriages have been SOL
emnized under the sanction of the Nor
mon authorities since the Woodruff man.
ifesto he directly charges the Tribune
with falsehood. We hurl the charge back
into his teeth, and tell him that he dis
graces the manhood which we all once
thought he possessed, and dishonors the
erfnine which he officially wears. for no
one better than he knows that We couid
make no such charge unless ii was true,
without being overwhelmed by libel suits.
Instead of going over the state and
investigating for himself Judge Baskin
should have asked P. H. Lannan, per-
haps, and yet this gentleman has never
claimed the 500 reward offered in this
state for evidence establishing a case
of plural marriage since the manifesto
was adopted. When Judge Bartch was
in Washington not long ago he was
asked about these charges of the Trib-
une and he said that there had been no
plural marriages since 1890, but our
partisan contemporary failed to assail
him and call him "a skulking liar"
Still it says there is no partisanship in
its fight on Robertsi

MR.. ROBERTS AND CONGRESS

Boston Herald: We are inclined 10
think that many. both among Repub-
licans and Democrats. knew better than
they voted, but that they were con-
strained to their action by the fear of
their votes being misunderstood.
New York Post: The situation is made
the worse by the fact that the investiga-
ton which has been ordered is to be made
by a packed committee. 1t is always the
custom in a legislative body. as it is the
! obvious dictate of justice. that the minor
ity should be allowed representation on
every committee. Nearly sixty members
voted with Mr.. Richardson of Tennessee
the Democratic leader. TO let Roberts take
his seat and refer the charges against
him TO the judiciary committee for inves-
tigation, but not one of these men was
given a place on the special committee
which was finally ordered.
Omaha World-Heraid: No one would be
surprised to learn that Roberts stated the
truth when he declared that known
polygamists were appointed TO federal
office by the president. 1t has come to
pass that nothing done by Mr.. Mckinley
is accounted wrong by his advisers, pro-
viding the thing done rebounds TO the
advantage of the &. o. p. in general and
the kitchen cabinet in particular.
Louisville Courier-Journal: Without 60
ing into the merits of the Roberts case. it
is clear that the house has set danger
Gus precedent in declining to recognize
his regular credentials and refusing him
his seat pending an investigation of the
charges against him. 1t looks very much
as if the action of the house Tuesday was
10 avoid the methods prescribed by the
constitution.

The taking of testimony in the Bierman
inquest was resumed yesterday morning
at the Hennepin county morgue. The
most important testimony was given by
DR. Erdman who assisted In the post
mortem examination. He was called to
throw some light upon the clot of blood
found on the dead mans brain. 1t was
the intention of Attorney Nye, who rep
resents Henry E. Jones, who is alleged
to have struck the fatal blow, to prove
by the doctors testimony that Bierman
might have dropped dead at any moment;
that the least jar or misstep might have
ended his life. The doctor was closely
questioned upon this point, and gave it
as his opinion that Bierman might have
dropped dead at any time.
The examination of his brain showed
that it has evidently been diseased from
alcohol, and that a jar of the slightest
kind would have ended his life. This was
the most important testimony taken to-
day, although the evidence of two ped
dlers who had seen the row was taken
Nothing new developed, and the story of
the fight remains the same as first made
public
After hearing the testimony the jury
found that Bierman came to his death
as the result of a rupture of a blood yes
sci III the brain shortly after being struck
by Henry E. Jones, but that that blow
was not sufficient to cause death
