The ATTITUDE OF Mr.. William Jen'

ont yariableness or shadow of turning

would. aud the most powerful republic
on earth would then have been placed
10 imminent peril. Ia other words, the
commander.in-ch of the army and
navy OF the United States, vested with
unlimited power, would be an avowed
enemy to capital and sympathizsr
and certainly an abettor of discord be-
tween employer and employee. Thai
such a condition of affairs would have
produced its natural results needs no
proof. Capital, sensitive as 1t is, resl'z'
ing it had an enemy in the executive,
would have sought other countries for
safe investment, mills and factories
would have closed and 10 a short time
many people OF the country would be
partaking OF barmecide ieasts in at
tempting to exist on theories, the prac'
ticsbility of some of which is seriously
questioned. 10 the meantime the grea'
msjority would be clamoring for food
in the absence of employment, and dis
order would be inevitable.

THE SPECTACLE Of minister OF the

menter of trouble between labor and
capital has several times been alluded
to. It Is true that the world is full Of

BRYAN FAvORs THE sTRI

Mr.. w. J. Bryan, 10 this weeks
"Commoner," urges labor generally TO
back up the fight OF the stee! workers.
He says:
"The conquest, while apparently
over an abstract principle, really in
wolves the right OF the laboriDg men to
rganizs. 1t Ia undoubtedly the pur-
pose Of the trust to destroy labor or.
CARNATIONS, and the purpose will be
relentlessly pursued II the time seems
propitious. II is strange that any la-
boring man should fail to understand
the nature OF private monopoly or
give auy support whatever to the enof-
nous consolidation Of capital which Is
now going on. 1t means death to the
wage Garner ss we'll az destruction OF
industrial independence. Unless eli
the mills are completely unioDized she
trust can run the non-unioD shops and
keep the union ones closed indefinitely.
The trust can afford to lose years
dividends IL necessary, but the em.
ployes cannot afford to lose q years
work. The strike Is at present the la
boring mans only protection, but II Ia at
present a costly and ineffective one.
The ballot box affords the only per-
manent and complete remedy. If the
laboring men would march to the polls
and vote with the party that fsvors
arbitration and opposes government By
INJUNCTION and the black list they
would be able to protect their interests
without a resort to strikes and lockouis
While the strike lass let it be con-
Quoted within the law. When the

DISPUTE OVER REWARD
RIVAL DETECTIVES WANT
CREDIT AND PROFIT.
Winters Still Detained But Belief
Prevails That He Will Be
Leniently Dealt With.

San Francisco, Aug. 12--It was stat
ed at the office of the Selby Smelling
company today that force of divers
under the management of a detective
agency had today taken $65,O00 worth
Of gold from the spot where it was
hidden by Winters, making nearly
100000 already recovered. 1t is ex-
pected that the remainder of the stol-
en- treasure amounting to $4,000 will
be recovered inside of "a hours.
Winters is still detained by the Of
ficers in this city but has not been
formally charged with crime. The
fact that he has not been charged
with any crime lends additional weight
to the belief entertained in some quar-
ters that he will be leniently dealt
with by the officers of the law, for con-
Tossing the crime and locating the
spot where he secreted the bullion.
There promises to be lively fight
between detectives over the reward
money and the matter may eventually
be taken into courts for settlement.
Detective Morse, who it is stated, def
nitely fixed upon Winters authorship
of the crime states that he obtained
his first information from Donaldson,
an employe of the works, who former
ly roomed with Winters. Acting upon
this information, Morse gathered sui.
ficient evidence against Winters to
warrant the arrest of the latter.
Morse, who is detective for the Selby
people does not claim any of the re-
ward, but states that large portion
of it should be divided between Dom
aldson and Sheriff Veal of Contra
Costa county. Lawyers of the last
named are drawing up papers setting
forth claims of Donaldson and cal.
Their claims are opposed by other
detective agencies in the case.

Washington, Aug. 12-Speculation
has been INDUCED in lately at the
navy department as to whether Ad-
miral Sampson will be represented by
counsel in the forthcoming Schley
court of inquiry apd whether Judge
Advocate General Lemley will call
upon the government for legal as
sistance in handling the case. Inves-
tigation into the law in the case
elicits the fact that Admiral Sampson
is not entitled to legal representation
at the hearings of the court. From an
official point of view Sampson does
not figure in the inquiry at all. 1t is
impossible also that Lemley, leading
advocate for the prosecution of the
inquiry will ask the governments as
istance in handling the case.
