murrer of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company in the labor injunc-
ton case Of Boyce ct al, against the

reason deemed sufficient and that q

other reason than that they are on the
list of union. The plaintiffs took
fifteen days to amend their bill.

A COMMON.SENsE PLAN.-The Chi.
cago Employers Association has struck
a harmonious note in settlement of the
labor troubles. While organized to
resist the arbitrary measures OF labor,
they seem disposed to meet actual Ia
borers halfway in adjustment of con-
ditions. They have received a report
from corps of experts concerning the
prices of commodities in districts
where complaint has arisen, and found
that it costs fully Is per cent. more to
obtain the necessities of life than it
did few years ago, and they have con.
coded that the wage.rate should be in.
creased in a corresponding ratio. In
many cases, the advance has already
been made; in the future it will be the
basis of adjustment OF rates. Whether
or not the labor organizations accept
it, the employers intend to put the
plan in force at once. 1t is thought
that it will be the basis of a common
sense adjustment of labor troubles.

No USE FOR THE WALKING DELE
GATE."-The Haskell & Barker Car Co.
at Michigan City, Ind, lately made
quick work of the effort of walking
delegates to unionize their labor. Mr..
Barker, its President, addressed an as
semblage of 5000 employees and citi-
zens, and stated that rather than 10
allow an organization which would
virtually place bis business affairs I'M
der direction from walking delegates,
he and his associates would dismantle
their shops and retire from business.
He said he was ready at any and all
times to listen to suggestions of men
OF his factory in their individual capac-
ity, but that he proposed to be master
of his own business. The assemblage
enthusiastically endorsed the position
taken by the company, refused to or
ganize and ordered the delegates to
leave town.

ADAPTING TO CONDITIONS. - The
State Board of Control in Minnesota
have adopted the plan OF pleasing the
wards of the government, as far as
possible, in selecting their supplies.
The deaf mutes, for instance, are pro-
vided with blankets and bed-clothing,
calculated to please the individual eye !;
and their clothing is of a cut and
make which meets, as far as possible,
with their appreciation. The supplies
for the blind are wholly different.
They are designed to please the touch
and no thought 10 given to color. It
has been found of the utmost import
ancs that the clothing have q glossy
or soft appearance to the touch, and it
making absolutely no difference wheth-
er the colors blend harmoniously or
not. The goods are judged by the
sensitive fingers of the blind and not
the sharp eyes of the deaf.

Another Big Government Scandal

The national administration faces
another fraud which dwarfs even the
postal scandal with its multitudinous
ramifications, and this involves far
greater turpitude from the fact that
the swindles have been perpetrated
upon wards OF the nation, the Indians.
Ample evidences of these frauds have
been furnished Attorney General Knox,
and there is no excuse for any delay
in prosecution unless it be on grounds
urged against exposure of the postal
corruption, that it will damage the
party. The transactions involve mil
lions OF money and hundreds OF thou
sands OF acres of land; names and
dates are given. The matter duplicates
officials much higher than district at
torneys, agents and others in direct au-
thority. The complaint and evidence
has been submitted by S. NJ. Brosius,
Special Agent Of Indian Rights Asso.
citation. The administration had jus.
about begun to congratulate itself that
its feathers had only been singed by
the scathing blast of public opinion,
from the fact that few minor officials
had been punished and the statute OF
limitations had been allowed to lapse
on the larger offenders; but now
greater trouble looms in sight from
Indian Territory and Oklahoma's wide
domains which must be met, and met
at once, at the most inopportune time
for the machine politicians. Those in
authority cannot even interpose the
plea Of ignorance, for the facts we're
known to them and hints have been
made of colossal frauds, and one wo.
man in the General Land Office and
one agent have been dismissed and
threats have been made against a law
firm of Minneapolis to quiet inquiry
and make believe that something is to
be done, but the great effort all the
time was to tide over the affair till
after the national campaign.
Mr.. Brosius asserts that the plan OF
the land sharks is 10 take lease of
the lands Of the Indian owner which
include a contract OF sale, without ad.
ditional consideration. The price paid
is from Is cents 10 IS cents per acre.
The lands are then sublet to farmers
or cattle owners at from 81 to $3.50
per acre. The extensive field for en-.
terprise is shown by the fact that the
Creek reservation alone embraces g.
OOO, 900 acres held in allotments. The
speculative companies, Mr.. Brosius
says, have been organized by the score
and cover every field of the five tribes
open to investment.

REMEDY FOR LoCKJAw.-Dr. S. A.
Matthews, of the University OF Chi
cago, has demonstrated the efficacy
of his remedy for lockjaw upon hui
man being with entire success. Hith-
erto his experiments have been on
Belgian hares, inoculated with the
lockja germ. His late trial was on a
boy who had had his toe crushed to a
pulp by a bicycle chain, whence lock-
jaw resulted. He was given up by his
medical attendants when DR.. Mat
thews was called. Two injections of
the remedy had been made when its
effects became apparent in dropping Of
the pulse to the normal beat, while the
temperature showed like decrease,
within a few hours, and his recovery
was steady and rapid. The doctors
formula is sodium chloride, sodium
sulphate, sodium citrate and calcium
chloride, used in certain proportions
by injection into the veins. The rem
edy it is claimed would be likewise
beneficial in cases of blood-poisoning.
There were thirty deaths from lock-
jaw in Chicago during June and July.

FORAKER MAY Be THE REPUBLICAN
NOMINEE.-Senator John T. Morgan,

be Joseph Benson Foraker and not
Theodore Roosevelt. He says he is
willing to risk his political reputa-
ton on it, but whether that is q
high throw or low one, only. those
who know the gentleman's prophetic
reputation best can tell. Foraker is a
Senator from Ohio. and . Republican
leader in that State, whose prestige is
equal TO that OF Senator Hanna.
There exists a rivalry between them,
but they sometimes unite, and al

PEELED him to yield an unwilling assent,
it may be that this change of deal will

mood for the nomination seems proba-
