A COSTLY EXPERIENCE.

Colorado presents a striking ex-
ample of the disastrous effect of
labor troubles. During the past year
that state has suffered to the extent
of $50, 900, 600. This includes the
loss of wages, the decreased produc-
tiou of the mines, the cost to the
state to maintain order in the dis
turbed districts, the sums paid out
by the labor unions to mainta the
striking miners, and the loss to the
business community generally in
consequence of the decline of pro-
duction and the shrinkage of wage
earnings. This is at the rate of ten
dollars per capita of the entire pop
ulation of the state. The gold pro-
duction has fallen off six million dol
lars, owing to this cause. Colorado
is far in the lead as the most liberal
producer of the precious metals. Her
mineral wealth is inexhaustible, and
there can be no question that her
output of wealth the past year would
have far exceeded any previous rec
ord had it not been for the unfor-
tunate industrial warfare which has
so cruelty crippled her for the time
being. The state is still in the
throes of labor war It is the storm
center of strikes and lockouts. Con-
sidering the population, probably no
state in the union has ever suffered
so severely as she has done in so
short time from the same cause.
Wesat this distance from the theatre
of strife can form little idea of the
havoc and destitution wrought The
contending forces seem to have set
tied upon Colorado as the battle
ground where the issues involved
are to be fought to a finish. When
state troops are reinforced by
United States soldiers, and martial
law lis proclaimed, the situation
must be desperate indeed. No doubt
things have been done by the authori-
ties which smack of military des-
potism, denial of individual liberty
which is the proud boast of every
American citizen. The roundup of
labor .agitators, and deporting them
to distant points, with a significant
warning not to return, is un-Ameri-
can tits true. 1t cannot be justified,
except on the plea of dire necessity
in extreme circumstances.

THE LICENSE QUESTION.

The, saloon men throughout the
county have taken no steps, so far
as we have been able to learn, to
comply with the terms of the license
ordinance passed by the supervisors
some two months ago. After weigh
ing the matter thoroughly, the gen.
eral impression prevails that the
ordinance is workable; it's terms
are not adapted to a county like
Amador; that some of its provisions
cannot be enforced, and as whole
it is very doubtful whether the law
would stand the test of an appeal
to the courts. 1t is currently re-
ported that the ordinance will either
be remodelled, or new ordinance
passed along different lines by the
board Of supervisors at their next
meeting.

effort in behalf of self-constituted
candidate to capture the presidency

party to his financial bureau-and
the outlook in that direction is by no

he will no doubt continue the
same yellow" methods throughout
the campaign. The missive we re-

10 Reasons Why Chinn's Concert Hall Ought
to Run and be Supported.

1st. 1t is an orderly house. There
has never been an arrest or fight in
the house since the show started.
End. 1t is clean entertainment, and
has brought good singers and artists
to Jackson for the amusement of the
single and floating population.
3rd. 1t pays out over $4,000 per
week in salaries and percentage. A
large portion of this money is spent
right here in Jackson.
4th. 1t is benefit to jackson mas.
much as it draws an outside element to
town that otherwise would probably
spend their money in Sacramento, San
Francisco, or Stockton, where they
run without trouble.
5th. Because town of the popula-
tion OF Jackson ought to have central
place of amusement during the winter
months to accommodate the single
men, who have absolutely nowhere to
go outside of saloon, or worse, Jack
son not even boasting of public read
ing room with all its churches.
9th. The show is absolutely free,
and many men come nightly who never
purchase refreshments. No man is
either asked or compelled to spend one
cent.
7th. No performer or employe of
the Xchange-male or female-has ever
been publicly intoxicated, or caused
any trouble to the officers. If they
did, they would be instantly discharged,
Sth. The Xehange has done more
advertising for Jackson through the
distribution of programs, in letters and
separately by mail, than Jackson has
ever done for itself.
9th. The expenses of running the
Xchange and in building up trade, SO
far has cost all the profits. and the
only money made by the venture is in
the future.
10th. Let some of the taxpayers who
are taxed more than John Chinn make
the complaints and sign them, and not
have the complaints made subrosa,
then perhaps the inhabitants of Jack
son will find the true inwardness of the
attitude of the county and the town of
Jackson to the Xchange Music Hall.

OF ladies appeared before the local JUS
tice to swear out warrants for the ar
rest of four persons alleged to be guilty
OF these dOings. The following section
of the penal code was cited as the basis
of the complaint:
296. Every person who willfully
and maliciOusly defaces, breaks, de-
stroys, or removes any tomb, monu-
ment, or gravestone, erected to any
deceased person, or any memento or
memorial, or any ornamental plant,
tree or shrub, appertaining to the
place of burial of a human being, or
who shall mark. deface, injure, destroy,
or remove any fence, post. rail, or wall
OF any cemetery or graveyard. is guilty
of misdemeanor.
This is plain enough, and who will
assert that the facts as stated above do
not come within the range of this legal
enactment. There was some backing
and filling, and consultation in official
circles. The ladies would not be side
tracked from their purpose, and in
sisted that warrants be issued; thew
were eye-witnesses of the spoilers
work, Finally. pushed to the deciding
point, the justice, doubtless acting on
advice, fatty refused to issue warrants.
1t is mOoted around that few more
trees will probably be cut down, and
then peace will be proclaimed; that is
understood to mean that when the pub
lie graveyard is shorn of every vestige
of natural shade, the vandalism will
cease. Recently Amador county s legal
department distinguished itself by try.
ing to punish an editor for acknow-
Lodging receipt of feed of deer meat
for seven cats. On this exalted mission
state officials we're made to travel 500
miles-over 100 miles per cat-head.
The issue was deemed by the same
worthy tribunal of sufficient Importance
to be submitted to jury. But when
it comes to the exercise of authority
to protect the sanctity which the law
throws around the city of the dead,
justice sits bound or paralyzed. What
a spectacle of laxity and blunted sensi-
bility.

Skull Fractured.

A serious accident happened at the
granite quarry, six miles north east of
Jackson, yesterday afternoon. The
men were employed in getting out a
granite slab weighing about a ton.
They were using a windlass for hoist
ing purposes. An Italian workman
named DOnkO Franatovich was at the
windlass at the time this weight was
suspended. In some way which we
cannot explain, the windlass got away
from him, and in the effort to recover
control, or get out of the way, the
handle struck him in the head. The
blow fractured the fore part of the
skull; also crushed the bone. over the
left eye, and injured the left eye so
badly that it is feared he will lose the
sight. DR.. Endicott went up last night
to attend to the case. The victim is
very dangerously hurt, and what the
outcome will be cannot be told at pres
ent. The victim is Sc years of age,
and brother of A. Franatovich, the
proprietor of the marble works in
Jackson.

The Calaveras Prospect says re-
garding the republican nomination
for Assemblyman of this district:
"Amador is talking of two men, C.
IL. McKenney, the present incum-
bent, AND. H. w. Wood of the Anna
dor Record" We in Amador coun-
ty were not aware that much "talk-
Ing" was going on. Certainly this
statement of our cotemporary is the
first blast we have heard on this
subject. The Ledger INDUCES the
hope that the republicans will put
up man for the legislature who will
pay more regard to the in introduction
of remedial measures = measures
tending to relieve rather than in
crease the burdens of taxpayers.
The idea that the usefulness of a
statesman is gauged by the amount
OF money he gets from the public
treasury to be expended in the terri
tory which he represents, is losing
popularity. 1t has been shamelessly
abused. What we want now, more
than at any time in our past history,
is a broad-minded representative
who will vigorously apply the brakes
to the ruinous ''get-all-you-can"
policy. The good fellow well met
is all right in his place, but Just now
we need a man of nerve to oppose
the many schemes foated from
motives of self interest, rather than
public good.

Indigestion Causes
Catarrh of the
Stomach.

For many years II has been supposed that
Catarrh of the Stomach caused Indigestion
and dyspepsia. but the truth is exactly the
opposite. Indigestion causes oatarrh. Re-
peated attacks of Indigestion inflames tho
mucous membranes lining the stomach and
exposes the nerves Of the stomach, thus caus-
ing the glands to secrete mucin instead OF
the juices of natural digestion. This 10
called Catarrh OF the Stomach.

JAChSON, Mafcn 81.
Editor Amador LEDGER
Be kind enough to allow a small
space in your valuable paper to express
my opinion regarding Amador county
affairs. The reason 1 say valuable
paper is this: 1 consider the Ledger is
the only paper that ever prints or pub
fishes one word in the interest of the
taxpayers. Unless there is more
economy practiced by our county Of
iicials in the near future. our property
will have to be assessed still higher, or
the tax rate raised another notch above
what it is at present, and the Lord only
knows that our taxes are too high
already. In looking over the bills al
lowed by our board of supervisors at
their last regular meeting, 1 thought it
was shame that the taxpayers should
be called upon to pay some of them.
The expenses for the month of Feb
ruary, outside of schools, and most of
the county officers salaries, was close
on to $4,000. We paid S25 20 for tele-
phoning. which don't think that we
ought to pay for. In fact, one instru-
ment in each building ought to be quite
sufficient to do all the county business
that is done in our court house, and
don't think that we ought to be called
on to pay any more. The idea of every
county official having telephone is an
outrage on the people and ought to be
discontinued. We used to get along
with county affairs before we had any
telephones, and our officers get more
salary now than they did then. We
also paid bill for travelling expenses
of $93-quite a big item. We have
plenty of legal business to attend to
right at home If our officers would
carry out the recommendations of the
grand jury and stop all gambling and
illegal games and devices.

investigation found that they We're

Summoning a physician it was soon
learned that one of the men was near

with the ENLIGHTENMENT of about two
thousand dollars from the Singer Sew
ing Machine Company while he was
its managing agent here a few weeks
ago. He placed the money in a bank
here, secured a cashiers check for it
and absconded. A reward of 500 was
offered for his capture and he was
finally located yesterday in Blooming

The Singer Company secured an at

now believed that Summers never
realized any cash on the check, and if
this should prove true, the Sewing
