MOSBY HITS HARD
Brave Old General Gives Some Sem
sational Evidence Before
the Grand Jury.
He Starts on Hazardous Trip to
Il Alliance and Blood May
Yet Flow.

Special to The Journal.
Omaha, Neb. Dec. 2.--Colonel John s.
Mosby appeared on, the stand before the
grand jury yesterday in the land fraud
cases. His testimony was something OF
sensation, although not at all unex-
]3pected. @.5,-: .,-i es%l.,s.. ! y. ...5.
He testified both. in regard to the Illegal
fencing and the widow scheme of the cat
| tie companies. He added several new
names to his list of cattle companies vio-
lating the law. He reiterated the state
ments he made while in. Chicago. A letter
was introduced which Colonel Mosby had
written to United States Attorney Sum-
mers here from Washington, in which the
former says that while the widows are
technically guilty the real criminals to
sbe punished are the men who hired them
to commit perjury and fraud. ,
+ The letters follows: "I have before me
a letter from one of these widows, in which
she states that Fred Hoyt, the commits
sioner at Gordon, refused to let the widows
read the papers they signed and swore to.
This was the homestead affidavit, in which
| the person swears that 'the entry is made
| in good faith to obtain a home for myself;
that am not in colusion with any per-
son: corporation or syndicate in making
[ such entry This widow says that they
were all required to sign at the time when
they filed their applications, leases, or con-
! tracts to sell their lands to somebody
{ "She does not give the name of the per-
son wha hired them. AS Bartlett Rich
ards fence is located on their claims, no
doubt he expected to be the chief bene-
| fciary in the transaction. and is liable to
! criminal prosecution. gave Richards
! notice to pull down his fence "- i
Colonel Mosby' displayed the Widows
| letter In which she told him how she, with
fifty other widows, were cheated out of
! their; lands with nothing to show for it.
| This letter was written by Mrs. Carrie L.
Carrigan from her home in Clarindan, Iowa
| and was addressed to Bnger Hermann,
| commissioner of the general land office.
| Colonel Mosby leaves for Alliance, Neb.,
to-day 1t is generally admitted that he
is going into country that will be par
ticularly dangerous for him, and blood
! shed is predicted. " >..,~.

TIN PLATE AND TRUSTS.

A tin plate factory closed down on thu
md indefinitely. 1t did so because tn,
empoves had refused to concede .;
per cent reduction in their wages in or
der to enable the factory to get an order
from the Standard Oil Company. This
should be explained. The Standard Oi
Company gets large quantities of its tir
plate abroad and brings it in two-thirds
free of tariff duty. Are We asked how
that can be done?
Under the tariff law tin plate, when
imported, pays a heavy duty, for the
purpose OF building up tin plate factories
at home and "protecting' American
workingmen. But the importer is en-
titled to drawback or recovery OF two.
thirds OF the duty paid upon the imported
tin plate which he afterwards exports.
Now the Standard Oil Company uses
much tin plate for the cans OF oil it ex-
ports, and through the drawback system
it is able to get this supply abroad. OF
course it does so, for tin plate is cheaper
abroad than here.
To get its order for this supply, how
eyer, the American tin plate factories
have been trying TO induce their men to
drop % per cent of their wages, and it is
the refusal of the men that has caused
the shutdown. Labor Indignation meet
ings were held and wonder OF wonders.
in PENNSYLVANIA itself, these meetings
denounced the republican tariff policy.
One of the speakers put the whole tariff
question in q sentence. He described it
as a system OF protection for the Stan
dard Oil Company against American
workmen." In principle that is just
what the whole wretched system is. 1t
fosters and protects trusts, which in
crease the cost of living for American
workmen; and it gluts the American
labor market, which weakens the con-
1racting power OF workmen and lessons
their independence.

GOVERNMENT BY INJUNCTION,

The democratic party aroused the op.
position of the corporations by declaring
against government by injunction both
at Chicago and at Kansas City. The
leaders of the party saw the dangers that
Turk in that extraordinary process when
invoked by corporations against their
employees. Some OF the laboringmen
rec ognized the fidelity OF the democratic
party to the rights OF the people and
supported our ticket, but many OF them,
blind to their interests, were mised by
republican promises, while others yielded
to the coercion practiced by employers.
There is an old PROV erb which says
that the wise man foreseeth the evil and
hideth himself while the foolish pass on
and are punished. This proverb in its
condensed form reads: The wise man
gets the idea into his head, the foolish
man gets it in the neck. Judge jackson,
OF West Virginia, is now diligently en-
gagged in furnishing those who few years
ago were too Indifferent to consider their
own best interests or to safeguard their
own rights. He seems inclined to decree
whatever the coal companies want, but
in doing so he is more lawless than the
men against whom he directs his stump
speeches. A judge has no legal right to
convert into a crime that which before
his decree was lawful, and even if he had
the power to legislate he would have no
authority to suspend the constitutional
right OF the accused to trial by jury.
But Judge Jackson usurps the power
mot the right to make laws and to fix
penalties, not according to the constitu-
ton. but according to his own warped
and biased Judgment. A lawless Judge
is greater menace to free government
than all the petty criminals who come
before him in lifetime.
Impeachment proceedings have been
suggested and it is to be hoped that the
matter will be brought before congress
that the people may see whether the re-
publican party will stand by the people
and their constitutional rights or by the
corporations. The strike is a clumsy
and inefficient remedy, hurtful to EN-.
ploye and to the public as we'll as to the
employer, but until arbitration comes
and makes the strike unnecessary it is
the laborers' only means OF defense and
while it is employed the judge must be
impartial and ready to protect the rights
