red early in the day, and shots were fired,
on both sides. The police retired and
then orders We're issued by Chief of Po-

A FEW WORDS WITH RAILROAD

The railroad men of the United States
constitute one of the most numerous and
intelligent classes of workers in any sim
gle occupation. In 1897 they numbered $780,
900 men, a recent report placed them at 92s,-
s24. and no doubt at present they exceed
100000. The number of persons dependent
on these workers is two or three times as
great. The welfare of this numerous class
depends steady employment, good wages
and good money. To be out of job TO
receive low wages or to be paid in de-
preciated money are three conditions al
most equally to be feared by railroad men,
as indeed by all workingmen. AS the
transportation business is dependent on the
general prosperity of the country 1t fol-
lows that whatever affects the latter ia
vorably or otherwise has corresponding
effect on railroad men, either throwing
them out of employment causing re-
duction of their wages. AS the railway
business of the country is far more pros
porous now than it was four years ago one
would naturally suppose that the number
of railroad employees is much greater and
the aggregate amount of wages paid much
larger. Investigation shows this TO be the
case. The Chicago Tribune publishes statis-
tics showing the increase in the number of
persons employed and wages paid by some
of the railroads entering that city now over
1896 The figures. taken from official
sources. show that the Chicago & North
western Railroad employs S,58 more men
now than it did four years ago and pays
$5S45.267 more i'm annual wages. The Illi-
nois Central employs S.73S more men now
than it did i'm 1896 and pays $. $40 more
in wages. The Rock Island employs 2.l05
more men now than II did four years ago
and pays sl.3640S6 more wages. AS pros
perity is general throughout the country
Il is probable that every leading railroad
would show like increase in the number
OF employees and amount of wages paid
now over four years ago. We are not left
altogether To conjecture on this point. The
officers OF the Railway and Telegraph En-
ployes' League have issued a statement
showing the amount OF compensation paid
To railway employees throughout the coun-
try i'm the years ended June So 1895, and
June 80 1900. 1t contains the following table
of comparisons. the last column showing
the increase:
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1900-09-05

comparison down only TO 1892 whereas 1t is
we'll known that railroad business is bet
ter now and the number of persons en-
ployed greater than in that year.
In view of these facts the. question arises
why should any railroad man vote 10 bring
about a change from the present condition
OF prosperity to one of commercial disas-
ter? Why should any railroad man vote to
bring about a condition that would not
only paralyze the transportation business.
throwing perhaps hundreds of thousands
OF men out of employment, but which
would be a step towards causing the pay
ment of wages in a deprecated currency?
Hon NJ. T. ingalls,. one of the best known
railroad men i'm the United States, says
in an article just published: Can any
sane man tell me how the laborer will help
his condition or the solution of the prob
lem so vital to him by voting TO debase
our standard of value, thereby reduc-
ing his own wages?'' The truth is the
railroad man who votes for William j.
Bryan really votes for depriving thousands
of his fellow-workers of their jobs and for
paying the remainder in 50-cent dollars.

hue. and expressed an earnest hope that
the real perpetrators of the crime might be
discovered and brought to justice. But
while nothing could justify assassination,
neither could anything Justify the whole
sale Acknowledgement OF people and the
overturning of popular government. The
unseating of Governor Taylor was charac-
terized as the most infamous page in our
political history" and that called for po-
litical punishment of the party responsible
for IT, Mr.. Yerkes made but brief allusion
TO national politics. leaving that, as he
said. to other speakers. and treated Goebel-
ism as the paramount issue-"the one SUI
preme issue in Kentucky politics to-day,
the one written on the hearts of the people
civil liberty. political freedom, the right
to fair count of the votes cast, the right
OF majorities TO control. and the right of
the majority to say who shall bear rule
over them" The speech was strong and
aggressive, and shows that the Republic
cans of Kentucky have placed a very able
man at the head of their ticket.

Giddings's Singing Retort.

TIC the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
The dead set made by the Democratic
machine in Indiana TO secure the colored
vote brings strongly to mind a circum-
stance which occurred in Anderson i'm the
fall of 1860.
During the campaign of that year Joshua
r. Giddings, of Ohio. was detained one
night at Anderson on his way TO an ap-
pointment at New Castle. The Republicans
were in those days, as is well known. very
nervous on the Abolition question. and the
party leaders did not overwhelm Mr. Cid
dings with attention. He was suffered
to hunt a hotel and TO carry his own
valise from the station.
The Douglas men put their heads to-
gether and agreed that it would be good
politics TO get up a meeting for Mr. Gid
dings and to draw out some of his extreme
views. The meeting was held and the court
room was crowded by Democrats eager
for the exposure of the Abolition tendencies
of the Republicans, and by mass of peo-
pie drawn there by the fame of the orator
Mr.. Giddings had not spoken long when
he was interrupted by the gentleman who
had been selected to draw" his extreme
and unpopular views. The man chosen was
the county recorder. He arose and said.
Mr.. Giddings, L would like 10 ask you
question"
"A question:. said Mr.. Giddings, twenty
of them If you like. You could not please
me BETTER
did you not once say" continued the
recorder, that if you were a slave you
would be free If you had to walk on dead
bodies all the way from Mississippi to
Maine?"
Yes. sir; said it. and / would do it.
and wouldn't your"
II don't want any controversy with Mr..
Giddings," said the recorder
You asked the question and / answered
it, said Mr.. Giddings. Now answer
mine.
The recorder hesitated.
Answer; yes or nor said Mr.. Giddings
The recorder said Eyes"
Il thought so, | thought So" continued
Giddings. IF you had said no, l should
have said. Abolitionist as L am that L had
found one man who ought TO be slave"
III there is one colored man in the United
States who intends to do the unwise and
servfle act of voting with the Democrats
this year. he surely merits the supreme
contempt poured by the celebrated states

of the liberty he enjoys or the franchise
he disgraces. Ii Is not 10 be doubted that
