THE LABOR QUESTION.
Abolition Of Government BY Injunction
Ia NANaasapv.

Abolition Of Government BY Injunction
IL Necessary.
Several planks Of the labor platform
are devoted to questions in which the
laboring classes have an immediate
interest. but which more remotely af.
feet our entire population. While what
is generally known as government by
Injunction is at present directed chief.
ly against the employees Of corpora
tions, when there is disagreement be-
tween them and their employer, it in
wolves a principle which concerns ev-
cry one. The purpose of the injunc-
ton in such cases is to substitute trial
by judge for trial by jury. and is
covert blow ct the jury system. The
abolition of government by injunction
is as necessary for the protection of
the reputation Of the court, as it is for
the security of the citizen. Blackstone
IN defending trial by Jury, says:
"Tne impartial administration of
justice, which secures both our per-
soDs and our properties is the great
end of civil society, but If that be en-
trusted entirely to the magistracy,
select body of men, and those selected
by the prince such as enjoy the high
est offices Of the state, their decisions
in spite Of their natural integrity, will
have frequently an involuntary bias
toward those of their own rank, and
dignity. 1t is not to be expected from
human nature that the few would be
always attentive to the interests and
good Of the many"
If the criminal laws are not sufficient
for the protection Of property, they
can be made more severe but citi-
zen charged with crime must have his
case tried before jury of his peers.
The blacklist as now employed in
some places enables the employer to
place the employe under practical du-
ress, for the skilled laborer loses his
independence when the employers can
not only discharge him, but prevent his
securing any similar employment. The
blacklist enables employers to secure,
by mutual agreement, that control
over ihe wage earners which private
monopoly exercises without contract.

BIC REPUBLICANS
TALK TOGETHER
And it is Believed They Discuss
ed the Fifth District and
State Generally.

A number of prominent Republicans were
in the city yesterday and Saturday, and
though they would not discuss the matter,
1t Is generally believed that a conference
was held to discuss the ACCESSIBILITY of wag-
ing a vigorous campaign in the Fifth Con-
gressional District. Colonel Milstead, the
nominee in that district was here Satur-
day, but whether on business or politics
could not be learned.
Among those here were Judge F. B. Nor
ton of Fayette, nominee in the Sixth Dis
trict; Congressman W. F. Aldrich of the
Fourth District; L. ]. Bryan, United States
Marshal, Montgomery, and N. L. Steel of
montgomery, chief deputy marshal.
L.. is also understood that plans were
made for making fight in various dis
tricts and that prominent speakers have
been invited to take the stump for the
Republican ticket in Alabama.
BY the division between Democrats IN
the Firth the Republicans hope to secure
enough votes to elect Milstead, or in case
the certificate is given to a Democrat 10
have enough strength to back a contest,
which would in all probability follow.

Scarcity of Chickens, Lighter
Supply of Eggs, Sweet Pota-

The Birmingham produce market was
fairly active yesterday. There was a

any time during the past four or five days.
The straight run brought 13c and candled
eggs 15c.
Irish potatoes were active at Coo per
bushel, but sweet potatoes were slow at
last weeks quotations. Only the choicest
lots brought s1,75 per barrel, and toward
evening sales were made at $1.50.
The market was bare of grapes, but Nc

LOSS is APPALLING
Report from Dallas Confirms First
News

Chicago, September 10.-The following
statement of the situation at Galveston
and all the coast was received tonight:
Dallas Tex, September 10.
ITO Charles S. Diehl, General Manager of
the Associated Press Chicago, Ill:
From the latest reports, which are con-
sidered reliable, the disaster at Galveston
and along. the coast has not been exag-
gerated. The bay and gulf met covering
the island to a depth of six to twelve feet.
During this sudden flood a most terrible
storm was raging; the wind blew about
an hour. Many Of The dead have been re-
covered; others are still under the debris;
others were carried out to sea. It is i'm
possible to give at this time a reliable re-
port as to the number of deaths From
reliable person who has just come from
Galveston it is believed that rot less than
13O0 and possibly as many as 5000 people
were destroyed. OF course, the wounded
and broken are numerous. The damage to
property is most shocking.
1t is safe to set this down as one of
the greatest disasters that has ever visited
the United States. The loss OF property and
the loss of life is appalling

DETAILS LACKING
Fears That the Story Has Not Halt
Been Told

Chicago, September 10.-The following
statement of the storm situation addressed
to Col. Charles S. Dichl, general manager
of the Associated Press, was received at 10
o'clock tonight from Houston, Tex:
up to the present time, no full or ac-
curate details of the destructiveness of the
storm of Saturday have been received here,
owing to the prostration of the wires de-
struction of every bridge, etc. The damage
In Houston from wind and water was COM
paratively light. One life was lost here
from falling wires. All bay-side resorts
about Is miles from Houston were mostly
all blown away and five or six deaths are
known, while Is or 20 persons supposed to
be drowned are yet missing.
West and south of Houston for so miles
the country has been swept and losses are
heavy, but few deaths are reported Big
sugar plantations at SatartiA and sugar
land are greatly injured, and the mills are
in ruins Cotton has been widely injured.
The losses on the mainland in an area of
so square miles are considered over mil
lion dollars, with probably a score or more
deaths.
Galveston is yet isolated The bridges
from the mainland to the island are de-
stroyed, and it may take a month to prop
erly repair them. The boats available are
few, so that unless q relief party and news
paper men succeed in going to the island
this afternoon no one has been able 10
cross since the storm.
1.-THE Posts correspondent at Galveston
made his way through the storm. He
reached Galveston last night. From his
hurried view of the disaster yesterday,
Galveston was one vast wreck. Water was
ten feet in parts of the island and houses
were washed away by hundreds. Eight
large vessels were wrecked. The greatest
suffering is for water, as the cisterns were
destroyed and the water works wrecked.
. A relief party with water and provisions
and small boats were gent from here this
morning, but no word has been received
from them. Houston is dreading to hear
the full details from Galveston, as the
story will be one of the saddest for many
years, even at It's best. The party from
Galveston estimates that half the property
of the city is destroyed. This is brief
outline of all that we have been able 10
secure up to this time, after a strenuous
and persistent effort The need of assist
ance is urgent.
