LIBERTY IS NOT LICENSE.
Men Have Right at Work With
Which They Are Satisfied.
ASSAULT WAS UPON PRINCIPLE.

Chicago, March 9a-Judge Holdon
| in decision rendered in labor union
assault case growing out of a strike
upheld in forcible language the RICH,
of any man to work at any labor with
which he is satisfied.
The case was that Of Albert Hill, oil
the Lathers' union, who was charged
with assaulting James Kelly, another
member of the union, because of his
refusal to stop work on building
where strike was in progress.
The defendants attorney pleaded
with the court that inasmuch as his
client already had served some time in
Jail, and had suffered as much as Kelly
from the fight, he should not be pun
ished any more
"No, the matter is more serious than
you think" returned Judge Holdom.
1.-The assault and battery is not so
serious in itself, but there is a great
principle at stake-the principle Of the
personal liberty guaranteed us by the
constitution. When Kelley was Mt
work on contract with which he was
satisfied, the president of the United
States nor any official nor individual
has a right to interfere with him.
True, Kelly was a member of the union
as was Hill. He had right to be, and
it was his duty to obey the rules of the
union.
when he refused, however, the
union had it's redress in disciplining
him and eXpelling him. 1t had no
right to send committee to interfere
with him and assault him.
Let us not forget these basic prin-
ciples of our liberty. We in America
boast a liberty unknown elsewhere.
Let us not make it license. In this in
stance the effect of the assault was not
on Kelly alone, but upon the princi-
Piles of our constitutional right. do

posed to unions. | believe in the
rights Of men to form unions, and |

The court then sentenced the man to
five days in the comfy Jail in addition
the time already spent there.

Topeka, March 23.-State Senator
Fitzpatrick, of Chautauqua. is here to
consult with the live stock sanitary
board. He was the author of the bill
and has been called upon to render
assistance in the reorganization of
things because he is familiar with the
intent of every provision of the bill.
He says that when the law gets to
working there will be no danger of
Texas fever because the regulations
will forbid Texas fever cattle from
coming into Kansas at any season of
the year.

TWENTIETH KANS. SCATTERED.
A Lot OF Thorn Have Money In tho State
Treasury.

Topeka, March 25,-Only sixteen Of
the lis Twentieth Kansas soldiers Nave
called for the money which the legis'
lature appropriated to them for ex-
penses in returning home from San
Francisco Tne state decided to pay
the expenses of the entire regiment
for its homeward journey from the
coast The Santa Fe got $4,000 for
hauling 500 men back in body. The
other rs men did not come on that
train. They came either before or
later on sick leave. Each of them vera
allowed $37.50 as expenses. Only six
teen of them have drawn their money
up to date. The auditor is anxious to
pay off the others, but doesn't know
where to locate them. 1t is shown by
those who have already drawn their
money that the Twentieth Kansas vol
unteers are becoming badly scattered.
One of the vouchers went to Montana,
another to Wyoming, another to Texas
and still another to New Mexico.

TOPEKA CAPITAL IS SOLD.
All OF tho New Proprletors Have Spent

All OF tho New Proprietors Have Spent
Years on tho Paper.
Kansas City, March GA special to

Washington, March 23.-Advices
from Mr.. Rockhill at Pekin are in a
more hopeful tone than of late. With
out displacing the pending proposition
the United States government has ad-
vanced another and radical PROPOSE
ton, namely: To divide the total
indemnity collected-say 100000, 600
into eight parts of which the United
States would receive one. 1t is true
that ten powers are represented at
Pekin, but at least two of them have
no foundation for claim of indemnity
and others have incurred unnecessary
expenses in keeping too large force
in China and otherwise.

'DUN'S COMMERCIAL REPORT.
Pronounced Activity of Retail
Operations in the West.
GENERAL GOOD SPRING TRADE.

New York, March 25.-R. G. Dun &
Cos weekly review of trade says: The
position of general business is satisfac-
tory, marked this week by pronounced
activity of retail operations throughout
! the west and some Atlantic seaboard
cities, which is considered the forerun-
ner of general good spring trade.
New enterprise is reflected in the
largest demand for many months for
builders hardware and general ma
terials and contracts for prompt de-
livery of all structural goods are very
difficult to place. Collections are
prompt and railroad tonnage is well
maintained. Earnings of all railroads
for the month OF March to date show n
gain OF 10. s per cent over last year and
SO per cent over 1899. The gains en-
tend to practically the whole country.
The textile industry alone does not
improve. Short time has been adopted
by Fall River cotton mills and there
are reports that some of the southern
weaving mills are about to curtail
production but this has been without
special effect upon demand for print
cloths or heavy brown cottons. Foot
wear is firmly maintained for staple
lines although high priced grades are
easier some decrease in demand does
not disturb producers as factories are
busy on contracts that will require
months to FIJI. Buyers who left Bos-
ton recently are now sending in orders
freely. Especially is this noticed in
the local market for patent and
enamel shoes.
Special reports tclegraphed this
week indicate that the winter wheat
crop is in good condition and an
unusually heavy acreage was planted
at the southwest, while ravages by
by Hessian fly have been exaggerated.
Failures for the week number 224 in
the United States against 1873 last year,
and 80 in Canada against 27O last year

OUR RESTRAINING INFLUENCE
China Could Not Pay More Than
S2OO,OOO,OOO.
ADJUSTED TO THEIR ABILITY.

Washington, March 95.-Furthcr in
luiry into the indemnity question
makes it appear that the sum of $780,
100000 which our government con-
levied upon the Chinese as tax,
represents absolutely the limit of
Chinese ability, according to the calcu-
Aations of the officials best informed as
to the resources of China. The figure
named does not represent the aggre-
gate of the indemnities claimed. The
United States fixed upon the sum of
Sa5, 900, 900 as a suitable indemnity to
be claimed, Notwithstanding that Off
.cials of the various departments are
satisfied that this sum will only pro-
vide for the payment of percentage
of the items claimed because it was
felt that this was as much as we should
claim proportionately of the total of
5000, 600, 900. 1t is not the intention to
divide this O,00O, 900 into as many
equal parts as there are powers, but,
while dividing it into eight or ten
parts, to see to it that these parts are
so proportional as to compensate the
powers in accordance with the outlay
they have been put to in suppress
ing the Boxer troubles.
This government would be willing
to abate the SIS 5000, 900 claim if the
other powers would reduce their
claims in the same proportion, even to
the extent of reducing the total esti-
mate to 100000, 900 if by so doing the
Chinese government could be relieved
by having the tax adjusted to their
abilities. But although in grave
doubt whether China can pay more
than 100000, 900, our government feels
itself bound to secure compensation
for it's citizens and itself to the same
extent as is secured by other powers,
and is resolved to do this because of
the conviction that q total abandon
Inent of our claims or even heavy re-
duction, without corresponding action
on the part of other powers, would
rather iniure than help China by de-
stroying whatever of restraining in
huence the state department has been
able to exert upon less sympathetic
powers

Registra tIon in Topeka.

Topeka, March 25.-The registration
was the heaviest on record. The total
figure is 1928; 1884 men and 6,324
women. Fully 5000 we're registered

In addition to the election commits
sioner's office there were fourteen
places for registration open most of the
week. At the general election last
fall the registration of men reached
10, ia which is somewhat in excess ol
the present registration of male voters
but there never were much more thar
half as many women.

Wheat Crop Renefitted.

Guthrie, Okla, March o2.-The rain
fall of this week was the first in more
than a month. The hail which came
with it did no damage to orchards
Unusually heavy winds and dust
storms had prevailed almost daily
for three weeks. 1t was feared that
the wheat crop would be injured but as
wheat got such fine stand last fall it
could not blow out. There was enough
moisture in the ground to have carried
the wheat safely through for another
month of dry weather.

Chicago, March 25.-Fire totally de-
stroyed large warehouse. The build
ing and everything inside was ruined.
Three outer walls collapsed while a
number of fremen were inside fighting
the fire. They dropped their hose and
run for their lives. Several were bad
ly bruised by falling bricks. A panic
was created among spectators and in a
rush to escape injury many women
and children were knocked down and
trampled upon. The loss is 5000, 900,
equally divided between building and
stock.

Effect Of Botha's Refusal.

London, March 22.-The Westmin

accept the peace terms offered by Lord
Kitchener, and connects this refusal
with the situation in China. 1t says
the powers are at skies and seyens in
the far cast and that any day may see
the commencement of a struggle from
which the Beers may recover their
own. The failure of these negotia-
tions means that the military position
in South Africa is not vet decisive.

He doesn't want to be bothered with
it now and the applicant who is too in
dustrious in urging his claims now will
iniure his own chances.

Greatness is never thrust upon man
who leads an aimless life.

EBEN HOLDEN, by Irving Bachelor,
is as unique and even more interesting
than it's predecessor on the same lines.
David Harum everybody has read by
this time, and none of its readers can
afford to miss "Eben Holden" The
best of the newspapers are praising it
and the best of the critics eulogize it in
unstintcd terms; for instance, John d.
Long, secretary of the navy, says: II
have read it, with great interest in the
honest and homely character which it
describes with so much humor and
naturalness. The Pittsburg Times
says of Eben Holden, "It is American
to the core, and one of the best ex-
amples of recent stories illustrative OF
American life" Amelia f. Barr writes,
al congratulate you on having given
the world apure, strong, natural story.
1t is as far above David Harum as
uoondav is above dawn"

while the others gathered in groups in

ton the new indemnity proposition
formulated here and presented to the
negotiators in Pelkin. That plan does
not meet with approval in diplomatic
quarters.
