NUMBER OF ADDITIONAL
FACTS RELATING TO THE
CAUSE MURDER. COM.
MiTTED IN THIS
COUNTY.

There are some developments Of In.
~terest connected with the murder Of
Chas, Cause, the III Poso ranchman.
In the frst place, It has been learned
that the murder, instead OF being com
mitted in Leonard Wood county ~
was supposed, took place In San MI
guel county. but almost on the border.
Al least that 10 where Causes body
was found, and q he WAS driving
home to III Poso, which Is In Leon

no doubt the murder was committed
In the county from which he was go
Ing.
The action Of J. 8. Slane. . Leonard
Wood county ranchman, and his son,
WAS, II not suspicious, at least UNI
satisfactory. Mi. Slane reported to

the road the body Of 9 man. They
didn't 80 within q hundred yards, &C

The Passing of Ibsen.

On a bed of pain in Norway lies a
man whose place in history may not
YET be fixed. Henrik Ibsen is one of
the unhappy ones of the world That
he possessed remarkable facility
il the expression of written language
is not to be doubted. If he was a
true philosopher we do not know it
yet. That he made something of an
doubted. Whether he did anything for
humanity is a question as yet I'M
answered
Ibsen was one Of the curious ones
and to his kind we owe all that we
know. He experimental with the
onstrated some curious things. He
also wrote some brutal facts.
Whether the world is the better or
worse for his writings is a matter of
opinion, but the opinion of the altru-
istic is against the great Scandi-
navian.
That mankind is helped to a higher
ideal by the pointing out of it's weak
nesses is certain, but there is also
a question as to the method to 1be
used in laying bare unclean things.
il. spite of the great ones who have
stickled for the whole truth we do
not always tell it. We hold to theory
that there are some things that are
better left alone. The skeleton in
the closet must remain hidden if we
are to have peace.
Ibsen has been quite mercless in
using the scapel on the human. He
has laid bare sores that tester and
which spread conagion. but has he
not helped to spread the contagion
by the exposing of the sores?
He has been compared to the great
masters in literature, but there is
nothing of literary merit in his works
that would warrant the placing of
Ibsen in the first class. His work is
mpressionistic rather than finished.
He has written in bold strokes. He
has made it no part of his method
to tickle the ear but he has startled

ARBITRARY ACTION.

The committees representing the
Order of Railway Conductors and the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen of
the Great Northern railroad have
been notified by the Omcials of that
company that the organizations rep
resented by the committees will not
be recognized by the company and
that none of the demands made by
the committees will be acceded to.
This arrogant action on the part
O. the Great Northern is to be re
GREETED, because it is very apt to
bring on a strike, for even though
the employees would prefer to work
under existing conditions rather than
strike, the attitude of the company
is such as to force them to go Out

tests of the relative merits of Eng

OF some other matters along the line
OF his road. But in this matter he
may find that he has overesti-
mated his power. The Order of
Railway Conductors and the Brother
hood of Trainmen are both conserva-
tive bodies, and the day has gone by
when Mr.. Hill or any one else can
arbitrarily sacrifice the interests and
well fare of thousands of people who
must depend entirely upon the Great
Northern for railroad service. The
men have the same right to organize
and select a committee to look after
their interests, as Mr.. Hill has to or
ganize a corporation or to exercise
the power conferred upon him by the
stockholders, and when Mr.. Hill en-
deavors to deny his employees that
right he is taking backward step
that may cost him dear
The public has an interest in the
matter quite as vital as that Of either
the company or it's employees, and the
public will insist that both parties
to the controversy shall endeavor to
honestly reach settlement by all
honorable means, and the party re-
frsing to do this, as Mr. Hill seems
to be doing at present, is sure to in
vite disaster.

She's Ready to Sail.

The new cup defender is ready for

preliminary spins, the first of which

these races the RCuancG will be

SILVER As MERCHANDISE.

Ex-senator Chandler is an ardent
bimatalist, although he is repub'
lican, and many of the best argu
ments for silver are from his able
pen. in recent letter to the Wash
ington Post, he says:
Silver is the metallic money OF
more than nalf the human race and
has been slowly sinking coward its
value as a metal only and not as
money, as gold would SO fall if 1t
were demonetized. Four thousand
millions Of silver is becoming, has
practically become merchandise in
stead of money, which it had been
from the dawn OF civilization down
to 1873. This characterization is
bringing poverty and distress to half
the people on the globe. RemOnetize
ard the misery will cease and China
can easily pay.
Moreover, it is best for the United
States to be wise in time. When the
present bubble of fictitious capitali-
cation, exaggerated values and in
fiated currency bursts and a money
ranic follows. there will be mad rush
for the only real money; that which
is made of metal; and that money
has been reduced one-half in guam
tity during the last third of a CEN
fury.
"To lessen the evils of these bad
times coming. silver should be re-
monetized by a renewed cOncensus
o. the nations"

Strange to say, many of the finan
cial journals, as well as many of the
leading financiers of the country
have come to look upon the recent de
csion against the big railroad mer
ger as possible blessing Al disguise
Many of them believe that it will no
restrict legitimate railroad develop
ment. ut will benefit it by placing {
check upon the creation of new com
binations and the issue of additional
securities 1t is pointed out that the
creation of such vast amount OF
fictitious wealth brings about false
prosperity which in time must enc
in disaster.
