The Colorado Riots.

Riot and murder have broken out
in the Cripple Creek region. Scores
Of men have been killed, and the end
is not yet.
The fact is that both sides in this
controversy are to blame. Six years
ago the state legislature passed an
eight-hour law in compliance with a
strong demand from the people. The
courts decided it was unconstitutional.
The issue of an eight-hour day was
brought to the front in the succeed
ing campaign, a constitutional amend
ment adopted, and legislature
pledged to an eight-hour day by an
overwhelming vote was elected in
1902.
This legislature, however, refused
to enact an eight-hour law. The mine
owners and the 'smelter owners are
charged, and undoubtedly with JUS
tice, with having corrupted the legis-
lature with money to prevent the pas
sage Of this law.
This made the miners and mill men
mad, and the result was a strike Of all
the union men in the mines and
smelters The employers undertook
to fill their places with nonunion men,
who were mobbed and driven from
their work by violence Of a desperate
character.
A state of turbulence has existed
ever since. The union men are mem
bers of what is known as the Western
Federation Of Miners, an organization
which created a reign of terror in the
Occur d'Alene a few years ago and
required the presence of United States
troops to restore order. The state au-
thorities Of Colorado by the use of
militia have attempted to maintain
order in that state, but with indiffer-
ent success. The last resort to vio-
lence has employed an Internal ma
chine by the explosion Of which a rail
road station was destroyed and fifteen
men blown to pieces. -,
The situation has gone beyond the
point where the claims Of either side
In this controversy can be given any
consideration until order has been re-
stored and the authority of law effec-
tually established. When that is done
there will arise again the merits Of the
original controversy, and the corrupt
practices by which employers defeated
the will of the people thru the pur-
chase of the legislature will be re.
garded with no more consideration
and leniency than the resort to VIC.
lence by the employees.
While the defeat of the eight-houl
law is no justification for outrage anc
murder, a fair judgment will place
the first responsibility for the state
Of affairs in Colorado upon the bust
ness men who were so shortsighted
SO utterly blind to their own interests
as to conceive that they could afford
to defeat the will Of the people Of tina
state by the use of money. Briber!
and corruption have been the weapon
of the employers, the bludgeon ant
now the Internal machine are the re
sort of the miners who failed in tn,
use Of peaceable means. What a mis-
cradle social condition, indeed!

Lyceum-"The Factory FoundIlns."

An original comedy drama, "The Fac
tory Founding written by Joseph Tot
ten, stage manager of the Lyceum theater,
is holding the boards at the Hennepin
avenue playhouse this week, and is being
enthusiastically received by that popular
young actors many friends.
The plot while bearing strong family
resemblance to those of scores of melo-
dramas, is we'll devised and developed. The
introduction of several unnatural and i'm
possible events is counterbalanced by some
good comedy. It is hard to believe that
such language as is put in the mouths of
the factory founding and her sweetheart,
the factory boy, is really used in any part
Of the country, even the Bowery, but the
slang is at least never offensive
Miss Leslie Bingham, for whom the play
was written, is cast in the title role and
she won her way brightly into the hearts
of the audience. Her representation was
full Of animation and zest.
While it was the evident intention Of the
author to make Jack White, the factory
foreman, the leading male character, one
soon acquires more interest in Napoleon
Robinson, the factory boy, and the sweet
heart Of the factory founding. His wit,
wisdom and manliness, far beyond his
years, appeal to the audience, and his ap-
pearance on the stage is a relief from the
many heavy set speeches given to others
Joseph Totten played the part.

TERRAPIN SLOW TRAVELLER
Took This One Twenty Years to
Cover a Distance of Two
Miles and a Half.

Thomas S. Stadden, prominent resi-
dent of Wadesville, Clarke county and
former resident of Winchester, was in
this city recently and brought with
him a terrapin which has rather re-
markable and certainly a most unusual
history, says the Winchester (Va.)
News.
just - years ago, in 1874, Mr.. Stad-
den came across the terrapin on his
farm, and on the bottom of its shell he
inscribed the date. Every time since
then that he has seen the terrapin he
has cut the date on the shell, and the
entries are as follows: 1874, 1875. 1879,
1880, 1881. 1882 and 1884.
On the latter date Mr.. Stadden car
ried the terrapin to spot near Stephen
sons, fully two and one-half miles from
nome, and then turned 1t loose. Mr..
otadden has always held to the theory
tnat terrapln and turtles will endeavor
70 wander back to the spot of their
Oirth' and to test the theory the terrapip
was taken to Stephensons.
