PAUPER IMMIGRATION.

Wehold ourselves ont TO the world
as the refuge Of the oppressed and
downtrodden OF all nations, but the
limit OF that charitable principle is
reached when il comes 10 the impor-
tation OF pauper slave labor under
the guise OF beneticcnce. This is u
principle OF the Democratic platform,
that our farmers and artisans shall be
protected in their labor,and the Dem
ocra.ic party means what it enun.
.ciates in it's platform. BY Il strange
perrersity the Republican platform
contains plank against foreign i'm
migration: "For the protection OF the
quality OF our American citizenship
and OF the wages Of our workmen
again 1t the fatal competition oi low
priced labor. we demand that the i'm.
migration laws be thoroughly eniorc.

from the United States those who

b'abhhi IiS Dhu Dub NDHt utteSn
count. Tho way the Republicans
are carrying out this plank in it's
platform Is by killing the sugar in
dustry OF the United States with
cheap labor OF Cuba, Hawaii and the
Philippines. Tho tobacco, rice and
multitude OF other industries are to
be ruined by the millions o; savuges
and the cheap labor, paupcr labor
and slave labor. How does this pro-

party can honestly say that this Is
not foreign immigration: it is only
expansion. III the American work.

little whether it is brought about 10y
expansion or immigration. Tho dis
tinction ia not ns wide as door or

method OF expansion and for Tint it

A FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT,
Willie GrInin's DIsob edIence Nav
Cost Him His life.

Willie Grlnin'H DIsobedience May
Cost Him His life.
Willie Griffin, the l3., car.old son
OF MIR. and Mrs. Thomas Griffin OF
Carlin, met with an accident Sunday
evening that has already cost him
his left foot and may cost him the
other. il not his life. From the in.
formation given us, it seems that
Willie made II practice OF jumping on
and of the cars while il motion in
the Carlin yard. lie had been re-
pentedly warned Of the danger by his
father and others, but it had no effect.
Sunday evening about G:3O, rs the
yard engine was switching freight
cars, Willie followed his favorite pas-
time and fell under the wheels OF a
moving car. His left foot was caught
by the wheels and every bone crus he'd
SO badly thnt the flesh clung to the
shoe when taken Off. The wheels
passed over the heel OF the right foot,
crushing the bones and breaking
both bones of the leg between the
ankle mud the knee. In addition To
this his skull is crushed His little
brother WIS with him at the time and
remained with him nearly an hour
until lie was fOund by some OF the
yard men. Willie was unconscious
all this time, but when the men who
found him want"l Ia carry him home
hc told them To take him to Mr.. Rut-
lcdge's us his father wOulI severely
punish him for his disobcdicncc If he
WAS taken home. lie was taken to
Mr.. Rutlcdgo's and his parents mott
fled. DR.. Hood WIS sent for and
went down on freight train Sunday
night. When he got there he had the
boy removed to his home and made
him as comfortable rs possible. Yes.
tcrday he amputoted the left foot at
the ankle. The shock to the boys
system is so great that il ia doubtful
il he RECEIVERS from his iDjuries and
the effects Of the operation. He may
yet lose his right loot, as the heel is
SO badly crushed that il is doubtful
il il can he saved.
We have given the particulars fully
III the hope that the boys OF Elko
who make practice Of jumping on
and oil moving traiDs, will read it and
profit by the misfortune md suffering
that have befallcn poor Willie Griffin.
Ii he lives he must endure months OF
euifering and he hopeless cripple
all his life. When giving us the pnr-
hculars this morning DR.. Hood asked
us to write them up fully and remark
cd: at you could only wrItc il up as
! saw it yesterday the boys Of Elko
would never jump on and Off moving
trains again" We have rDdeavorcd
tn carry ont the Dr.. wishes and
hope the boys will heed the lesson.
There ia no blame attaching to the
railroad company on account OF the
accident. rhe boys father and the
trainmon had repeatedly warned him
OF the danger he WIS running. Had
he obcycd he would not now be how
ering between lie and death.
