TIE COLORADO SITUATION.

The elimination Of two years of strife
in Colorado, came week since, in the
awful destruction Of twenty or more
laboriDg men, non-union miners who
were at a railroad station The depot
was blown up with dynamite and every
thing in proximity blown to atoms,
This awful crime is laid at the door Of
organized union labor the element that
was striving to keep non-unionists out
of the mining districts The scenes in
mining quarters of Colorado have been
the worst known since the Homestead
strike several years ago. The state
militia has been on guard to protect life
and property. No sane p'fson will at
| tempt 10 condone the crimes of organic
ed or unorganized labor. That there is
much Of tyranny in the manner of ma
niyulating the organization all mus
admit who have carefully witnessed and
read Of its works, while on the other
hand the miners and other employers,
organized as they are, use unlawful and
tyrannical methods and coercion to ac-
complish their selfish ends and dominate
their workmen Nothing has been more
astonishingly tyrannicai than the pre-
sent attempt to eject from the state Of
Colorado honest workmen who have
committed no offense beyond belonging
to labor organization, separating men
from their families and leaving them IN
destitution. The mine owners are or
ganized and have complete compact
foi controlling the men in their employ,
yet we hear NOTHING of deporting them
from their homes, property, families
and the state. That both sides to the
controversy have grievances there is no
doubt Neither is licensed above the
other to unlawfully disturb the peace
and dignity of the commonwealth or
the rights of man, organized or unor-
ganized
The seat Of the whole controversy in
Colorado is said to have been laid sever
al years ago, In an act OF treachery and
bribery. The state, by a majority of
nearly fifty thousand, voted for a con-
stitutional amendment creating nine
hours a laboring day. The matter must
be ratified by the legislature before en-
forcenent. The lobby Of the miners
association and the corporations, by the
same corrupt methods employed in Wis
consin and elsewhere, to stiAe demands
Of the people, were used and the vote
and action Of the expressed viii was de-
feated in tue Legislature. Their rights
defeated by bribery &ni other unlawful
means, workmen have not forgotten the
means employed or the men responsible
for the same.

During the winter and spring and up
to the date OF the republican state con
vention, the stalwarts were hilarious
for harmony" in the party. The only
brand of harmony they sought was a
complete surrender Of the great ma iorttv

corporation lobbyists. They demon.
stratedtheir undying love for harmony
by boiling the regular republican state
convention. Now they have harmony
all by their lonesome but they don't

the fat government offices and have &C

Il have little son who sings in a
boys choir in one of our prominent
churches, and he is greatly troubled
with hoarseness and throat weakness,
and on my return home rom a trip I
gave him few of the tablets one Sun
day morning when he had complained
o. hoarseness. He was delighted with
their effect, removing all huskiness in
few minutes and making the voice
clear and strong.
AS the tablets are very pleasant to
the taste, | had no difficulty in per-
suading him to use them regularly.
Our family physician told us they
were an antiseptic preparation of un-
doubted merit and that he himself
had no hesitation in recommending
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets for any form
of catarrh.
i have since met many public
speakers and professional singers who
used them constantly. A prominent
Detroit lawyer told me that Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets kept his throat in fine
shape during the most trying weather.
and that he had long since discarded
the use OF cheap lozenges and troches
on the advice of his physician that
they contained so much tolu potash
and opium as to render their use a
danger to health
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are large

catarrhal antiseptics, like Red Gum,
Blood Root, ETC., and sold by druggists
