viii Be Tried Together.

Jackson, KY, June 9.-Benjamin
Golden, of Barbourville, arrived here
to assist in the %efense Of White and
Jett. Attorney O'Neal expressed the
opinion that Jet and White would be
tried jointly. The town is quiet,
though firing by drunken men on the
outskirts of the camp is expected as
a nightly occurrence 1t is anticipated
that the additional venire from Ma
coffin county will arrive and the trials
proceed. The troops look forward to
the time when verdict is returned
as an occasion for trouble, if an at
tack has ever really been in contem-
plation by friends of the prisoners,
and extra precautions will probably
be coincident win the close of the
trials.

Labor,s Tribute to Cummings.

The memory of the late Amos J. Cum
mings, for many years Representative
from New York. is especially honored
today by Iaboring men throughout the
country in connection with their cele-
bration Of Labor Day. 1t was by his
continued activity In Congress in ad-
vocacy of legislation to set apart one
day in the year 20 be devoted to the
exaltation OF manual toll that the
printer Congressman earned the title of
Father of Labor Day" What he did
for the cause in the House was ably
seconded in the Senate by Senator Kyle,
of North Dakota. who has also since
gone TO his reward. Their efforts finally
resulted in the enactment OF the bill
which President Cleveland signed June
2s, 1894.
Although it IS not in the power OF
Congress to make such laws mandatory
upon any OF the States of the Union,
the governors OF most OF the Common
wealths have accepted the statute in
the nature OF a recommendation and
have issued special proclamations call
ing upon the people to observe the day
as a holiday. So the work OF Mr. Cum
mings has borne good fruit. He died in
Baltimore. some days after having IN
