when it is, nothing will come Of the

A BOLD H0LD-UP
All Ontario Saloon Man the Victim to
the Extent of $500

Report was received here yester.
day of bold hod.up which occurred
at Ontario on Tuesday night.
From the information so far given
1T seems that as Sharp Horn was
locking up his place of business, the
reception" saloon, at Ontario, on
the night mentioned, two men GOV
cred him with revolvers and he was
told to fall in line and march as or
dered, which instructions he prompt
~ obeyed The hold up marched
Mr. Horn up the track about mile
where they relieved him of 5000 and
turned him loose. He immediately
returned TO Ontatio and gave the
alarm, but MS yet nothing has been
heard of the robbers and as there is
no clue to their identity it is more
than probable they will escape the
vigilance of the officers.

Another striking exhibition of the
effect of strikes is that the Omaha
smeller has closed down. Reason
given is scarcity of coal, and this is
caused by recent strikes of the Iowa
coal mines Several thousand pco-
pie are prevented from earning wages
in consequence. 1t does seem as
though human ingenuity that can in
vent so many physical improvements
would be able sooner or later to adopt
some method of instituting a rule of
common sense and interest in place
OF the present one of stubborness
and destruction.

here he served Fremont county in the

STRIKES AND LOCKOUTS

Of course there is no difference in
the meaning OF the above words used
to express an industrial condition
In strike labor goes against capital
and quits; in a lockout capital goes
against labor and refuses to give EN-.
ployment. One feature is lust as
bad rs the other and followed by Just
rs many desolate homes and hungry
children. These evils have become
The blighting curse of the age and in
the majority of cases neither has the
semblance of common sense. 1t is
safe to say that the evil is largely
due TO the idiotic action of state
legislatures more than to any other
cause. Without further discussions
we will point TO the present condi.
tons in Colorado as the result of a
law passed and perfectly uncalled
Tor. Let alone all the industries of
Tie state were prosperous as could |
be desired. Now every line of bust
ness is paralyzed; smelt,rs closed

ONLY 32 YEARS.

The controversy between the Brit
sh and American Commissions re-
g;r,ing the Alaska boundary is sure
y queer example Of how near ma
tional affairs are brought down to the
very commonest level Of personal
differences; and the inability of these
wiseacres, citizens of two nations
protesting the most sentimental re-
gard for each other, to arrive at q
conclusion on so simple matter is a
very satircal commentary on the pro
fessed friendship Of the two coun-
tries. By private negotiation, Sec.
of State, VIM. II. Seward, purchased
for the government all the Russian
possessions in North America for the
sum of 1920, 900 and the treaty
fully ratified the transactions ex-
changed in 1867. Some diplomatic
reasons that have never been made
public are supposed to have been at
the bottom Of the deal; and the sud
den appearance Russian war ships
in the north Pacific at time when
our relations with Great Britain were
not so gushingly friendly as at pres
ent, gave good reason for this opin-
ion. Nevertheless the transaction
was most heartily condemned by
Democrats generally, and goodly
portion of the railing party as well
the whole territory being denounced
rs worthless and only fit for the abode
OF polar bears, seals and an occa-
sional Esquimaux. Only 80 years
have passed and now with It's sealing,
fish, timber and gold mining posi-
bllities, the simple question of the
proper dividing line between the Eng
fish and American territory in these
hyperborean regions cannot be adj
justed without a difference that it
seems impossible to reconcile. For
that agitating question, gold, now
comes in and must be considered.
"l'he lust of gold succeeds the rage
of conquest; that last corruption of
degenerate man Altogether pro-
baby more than the original amount
paid has already been paid in differ
ent diplomatic attempts to settle the
seal fish and boundary disputes be-
tween the two nations, and now even
war is remote possibility The NOR
al Is that If Americans and English
men are so tenacious of their rights
as to fight over an uninhabited strip
of ice and snow, what excuse is there
for clndemning or criticizing another
nation whose people are fighting for
their homes and the right to govern
themselves; in fact are simply apply
ing American principles as enunc-
ated in lT76 to their condition in
1899, and If any other nation on
earth was attempting the coercion
that is now being done by the United
States, every man, woman and child
in America would be in sympathy
with The Fillipinos and quoting the
Declaration of Independence.

high type of the self made Ameri-

his life is above criticism. If the

doubt develop the fact that the at

ouses than any actual incompetency
