Died Of His Wound.

Coroner Caskey went to Halle
Gold Nine Monday to hold an in
quest over the body of John Leach,
the negro who was shot in the
bowels at the Blackmon mine On
Tuesday of last week by Walter
McMaDus alias Arants. Leach
was carried to his mothers at
Halle Mine after the shooting
where he could be attended by
Drs. Gregory and Twitty. De-
spite the skill of the physicians he
died Sunday afternoon. The
shooting, we learn from the Era,
was the outcome of difficulty
between the parties on the Sunday
previous and that Leach was sit
ting down when shot.

OUR IMMIGRANTS.

1t has been pointed out that the

to the great increase in immigration
from Italy and other Celtic countries,
the character Of the American people
as "a race is slowly being changed

change is not for the better

ROOSEVELT AND UNION LABOR

Much comment has been occasion
ed in the public press by President
Roosevelt's action in re-instating a
discharged non-union employee of the
government printing Office in Wash
ington, and almost without exception
the president has been praised and
commended for his action.
While few labor organizations
have tried to explain or excuse the
presidents action the great army of
union workers of the country have
looked ON in silent condemnation, and
whether sucn silence has been due to
lack of newspapers or spokesman to
properly present their side the fact
remains that union men have felt
keenly the injustice of the position in
which they have been placed before
the country
Organization has done much to
improve the condition of the labor
ing man both in raising the standard
of wages and shortening the hours of
labor and it is unreasonable for Ia
boring men to demand that all those
who share in those benefits should
also share in the burdens and respon-
sibiities of the union?
When a foreigner comes to the
United States he is not permitted to
enjoy the privileges of our land laws
or other benefits of citizenship with
out first taking steps to become
citizen and have not the unions the
same moral right TO require allie
glance from those who enjoy the i'm
proved wages and hours secured only
through years of effort and sacrifice
on the part of organized labor?
While the letter of the constitution
requires the recognition of every citi-
zen without discrimination. the real
value of both the constitution and
the law is determined by the spirit
in which they are enforced, and if Mr..
Roosevelt will be as liberal in his in
depreciation Of the law as it affects
the laboring man as he is in cOnstru
ing the law against trusts. union
workmen will have no cause to CON-
plain,

SPECIAL MEETINGS.

Washington, Feb. 10. - What is
known as the Philippine extradition
bill has been signed by the President
and is now a law.
1t has been decided by the Senate
committee = that the Panama canal
treaty shall be taken up in advance of
all other executive business. This de-
cision is believed to ensure its ratifica-
ton this session and before the opera
zion ON March H. of the option now
held by the United States to purchase
the property Of the French company
for $40, 600, 600.
The Senate committee on judiciary
decided to hold special meetings for
the consideration of the trust question
beginning today. The committee will
use the Littlefeld bill as a basis but
will at the same time consider all anti
trust bills which have been introduced
in the Senate. 1t is expected that the
committee will take several days to
complete the work.
The House committee on ways and
means has favorably reported the bill
providing that all registered brood
animals be admitted duty free, wheth-
er they are to be retained as the prop
erty of the importer or brought in to
be sold Senator Harris introduced a
bill authorizing the free importation
of thoroughbred live stock for breeding
purposes
