WARM
POLITICS
CONVENTION AT JASPER IS
SENSATIONAL.
Foster Browns Friends leave the
Convention And Have One
To Themselves.

The republican convention at Jasper
Saturday developed storm which had
bsen brewing for some time. The
Brown and Evans factions came to
clash. and while thSre we're no person
al conflicts, it was political fight of
she warmest description. just at pres
ant there are two county chairmon, two
sets OF delegatoS-at-ltrgc, and two sots
of district delegates claimed by the re-
publicans OF Marion county.
Chairman DAmO called the meeting
to order at 10 =. IN. II. L. w. Raulston,
Brown man, and D. A. Tato, an Ev-
ans man, were nominated for county
chairman. A viva voce vote failed, al
though the Evans men claim they out
numbered the Brown mon 3 to /, and
the latter admit thNy excolled them in
noise. The Evans people then propos-
ed vote by ballot. but the Brown men
wanted division of the house, which
, was done; again the Evans men appear
cd to be superior, at least in tho esti-
nation of Chairman Dano, who declsr-
ed Mr.. Tate elected. Then there was
an immediate uproar, both sides en-
desvoring to debate the question at
once.
During the disturbance Mr.. Tate had
been escorted to the chair, and when
partial quiet was restored, he said he
was willing to waive his rights to cleo
tion until the question should be set
tied by ballot, but this was drowned by
cries of mo"
Then Jim Morrison proclaimed Raul
ston elected and called on the Brown
forces to adjourn to the yard, ironically y
alluding to tho Evans men as "niggers
and postmasters, and they retorting on
him in kind advising him to ''go to the
democratic party whore he belonged. y
1t was a dramatic scene that perhaps
will not be repeated for some time. II
reminds one of Mark Twaih's export
enco editing Missouri pApor while its
editor was taking vacStion, and he
was waited on by "rabble Of charmed
and enthusiastic friends" Six negroe;
followed them to the yard according tC
the claims of some, though the Brown
men say there was not negro among
them. Neither MIR. Brown nor Mr.
Raulston left the hall at once, but weni
out afterwards, Mr.. Brown addressing
his side in the yard.
Both sides then proceeded to tho cleo
tion of delegates, Tne Evans side un
der Chairman TSto indorsod Evans
Fowler, Napier and James Jeffrioa fol
delegates-at-largs, and John T. Raul
ston and Novel Sanders for distric
delegates.
The Brown people instructed iol
Brown, Brownlow, Fillmore and Nc
Call as delegates at large and Littlstor
and Wassman as district delegates.
Tho Brown men claim that the Evani
men packed the convention with dem
ocrats who had no right to be there
This Evans men say it is not so. Th'
Brown men claim that they had hal
the white man or more on their side
Tho Evans mon claim that thoy out
numbered the Brown men three to one
and that thS colored vote was not al
for Evans. Both sides claim they arr
right and there you are.

IN FAVOR OF THE UNION.

In recent issue of the Atlanta
Constitution there was letter from
a Georgia merchant in regard to la
Dor unions in his town, which con-
tanned the highest praise for such or
CARNATIONS.
Among other reasons, he said that
since the advent of the labor union,
wages had taken a settled basis aud
were higher than under the old ar
rangement. Consequently the men
have more money to spend, buy bet
ter goods and more of them, and ar
ticles that are not altogether what
are classed as staples, thus giving
some one else a chance to earn some
thing Under the present system of
profit, the merchant scarcely gets
back the original cost of meat, flour,
sugar, coffee, &c, and where wages
are low these are about the only ar
ticles the laborer and artesian buy.
In other words it takes about all
they can make to keep body and
soul together, or, to make it still
palmer their employers would regard
them as beasts of burden, without
soul, ambition, or intelligence and
would pay them in the same meas
ure. If, on the other hand, the
laborer and artisan get higher wages
then they have enough to buy the
necessaries of life and to spare. They
may even semi-starve and semi cloth
themselves and their children ard
buy little home.
1t is a noticeable fact that the pres
ence of the labor union has always
had tendency to value the working
mans labor, his capital, at q higher
price than where none exist. Con-
sequently those localities come nearer
enjoying prosperity than those plac-
es where every man Is for himself
and not for his fellows. In this re-
spect the labor union strongly re-
sembles one prominent feature of So
cialism-the principle of fraternity.
The rise of the labor union has al
so given a deathblow to the infam-
ous contract system, which did more,
perhaps, to enslave the laborer than
any other scheme every originated.
Its principles may be briefly summed
as follows: Two profits in one mar
ket on the labor of one man. One of
the first things the labor union did
was to protest against this system
and when their protest was unheeded,
they showed that the matter was not
a whim or mere vision of disorder
ed fancy by going on a strike.
What could they have done? 1t is
true there was great loss of time
and money to make soulless corpora
tons listen to their appeals, but right
eventually triumped and the union
was strengthened thereby.
1t was trump of consolidation
A trust of labor, which can never do
the country harm, and has a thous-
andfold greater right to exist as long
as the men govern and are not gov,
erned, than any Standard Oil octopu:
or Sugar Trust.

The United States Supreme Court has re-
versed the decision of the supreme court of
the state of Utah in the case of D. P. Tar

The case is a controversy over tract of
land within the place limits Of the grant to
the Central Pacific railway of California,
the land being an odd numbered section
The case involved a claim to the land made
in 1858, and in passing upon it the court
laid down some propositions concerning
railroad land grants which are considered of
general Importance.
The opinion was delivered by Justice
Brewer, who said that in a proper interpre-
tation of case of this character 1.-The rel
ative rights of the company and an indi-
vidual entryman must be determined not
by the act OF the company in itself fixing
definitely the line Of it's road OF by the mere
occupancy Of the Individual, but by record
of evidence. on the one part the filing of the
map In the Office of the Secretary of the
Interior, and on the other the declaration or
entry IN the local land office; and while the
rairoad company may not question the va
ndity OF the entryman's claim of record its
rights ought not to be defeated long years
after its title had apparently fixed by fu-
git1ve and uncertain testimony rof occupa-

cars operated by the ST. Louis Transit Com
pany are being increased daily, with the
help of non-union men from other cities,
and deserters from the ranks of the strik-
ers, so General Manager Baumhoff says.
This the strikers deny.
The work of repairing the wires and
clearing the debris from the tracks is pro-
crossing rapidly, but 1t probably will be
several days before the lines traversing the
northern part of the city will be operated
in the usual manner A rsinhper of United
States deputies have been sSqern in for pa
troll duty along the Transit Company lines
and in the vicinity Of all Transit Company
property.
A number Of the strikers who formerly
worked on the Lindel Olive street. Laclede

lines, General Manager Baumhoff alleges,
have returned to work and whenever posi-
bic they were given their old positions
Just how many strikers had deserted their
comrades Mr.. Baumhoff could not say. A
delegation of street railway men called at
the mayors office to ask for transportation
to New Orleans. The men claimed they
were induced to come to st. Louis to take
positions on street railroads with the un-
derstanding that the Transit Company was
greatly enlarging it's facilities, and in need
of number of additional men. On this
representation, the spokesman said. seven
ty-six men came, but on finding that
strike was in progress some refused to go
to work.
There was more serious rioting yester-
day. One boy was killed and three men
and a girl were wounded The dead:

an investigation.
AT the police station Conductor Farley
admitted firing the shot which killed Zika.
He fired he said, at man who was pre-

In a fight which occurred at $50 clock at
the intersection of 18th and Herbert streets.
The riot was lively while it lasted. fully

were crowded with people, 1t is remarkable
that the number of injured was so small.
