The general opinion appears to be that
the Legislature did about right in pass
ing the witness law over the Governors
veto. In these days the opinion prevails
that a man should receive a fair remun-
GRAFTON for his time, no matter what
the labor. 1t is but right that a man
should have fair pay when called away
from his business to sit on a jury or APP
pear as a witness. Court officials and
judges are paid, why not the ordinary
witness?-News and Citizen.
The other side is the increased cost of
litigation. What show hasa poor man
to recover against a rich corporation
when his costs are practically doubled!
A prominent attorney, a corporation
lawyer, says it will practically make il
impossible for a poor nan to go to
law.

Letters from IN Illinois Newspaper Man
that is We'll Worth Reading.
AS a usual thing editors save the good
things for the columns of their own
newspaper, but the following letter
from S. II. Duncan, editor of the Sea-
ton, ILL.,, Independent, shows that there
is at least one editor who wants to help
others. He writes as follows:
ITO the Editor of the Middlebury Regis
ter:
wish you would print the follow
ing and thus help me to do a kindness
to your readers. My wife has been a
great sufferer with stomach troubles for
the past four years, and the last two
years practically an invalid. Nothing
seemed to help her until 1 procured a
box of Mi-o-na, natures cure for dys-
pepsia. This gave her so much relief
that she continued using the remedy
until now she enjoys her meals, is re-
lieved from all pain in her stomach and
has increased in flesh.
l hope you will publish this letter,
for | think there is no remedy for stom-
ach trouble equal to Mi-o-na, and the
more wide spread its use becomes, the
more good will be done to humanity.
S. II. DUNCAN,
Editor of Independent
w. H. Sheldon has the local agency
for Mi-o-na and his faith in its merits
equals Editors Duncan's. He in fact,
offers to pay for Mi-o-na in any case
where it does not give satisfaction. Nc
stronger endorsement of the merits OF
the remedy a be given than this, that
a local drug firm is willing to sell a
medicine on his own guarantee to re-
fund the money if it does not cure stom-
ach troubles and increase flesh.

The editor of the Walden, N. Y, Citi-

to the boys, which we heartily endorse;

wise there would be less leaving of the
farm for the professions of law or
medicine. Both from the standpoint
of drugery and science, farming has
the advantage. We thoroughly believe
as another has said; ''there is more
downright drugery, more absolutely
repulsive labor in the life of one physi-
clan than there is in the lives of a dozen

A Camp for Union Miners.

dispatch from Denver dated 18th states
that new mining camp will be opened in New
Mexico to receive the depored union miners,
from Cripple Greek. The Western Federation
of Miners will work the claims on co.operat.
i've basis, and will nave entire jurisdiction over
heir development. Provision will be made by
the federation for all deported miners, and to
this end, carload of supplies will be sent to
the new camp Immediately as starter.
The camp will be located near Tres Piedras,
which is twenty lies south of the Colorado
line, on the Denver & Rio Grande railroad.
There is district len miles square of virgin
ore, and the work Of mining it will be parceled
out to the union miners. They will work on
the cooperative plan, but the miners will be
supported by the federation while prospecting.
The idea of cooperative union camp was
suggested to Secretary Haywood, of the fedora
ton, by A. Royal president of the Belle ROYAL
Mining aud Milling Company of Tres Piedras,
which company owns eigty acres in the district
This property will be purchased iy the fedora.
ton for initial operations.
After all, maybe it was necessary that the
miners of Colorado should be prosecuted by
Peabody and Bell in order to teach them the
advantages of the cooperative system. 1t
seems hard that innocent men should be shot
down and others be separated from their fami
lies and driven from home in oider that the
working men may be taught lesson that all
must leavn-but maybe it is necessary-it ccr-
tainly looks that way.

They do queer things, but listen to the
queerest:
They have an Arbitration Court, you know,
in which all sorts of employers may and MUST
settle their differences in way to avoid public
disturbance.
They have extended their arbitration rule to
railroad servants, to public employees and clerks.
And what do you suppose they have DONE
what wild, insane scheme have they put into
practice? Why, this:
They say that those appearing before the ar
bitration court must come without LAWYERS, un-
less lawyers are demanded by both Sides.
The motive of this is mean, sordid economy.
They actually mean to protect the public
from legal sharks by dispensing with them,
when it can be done.
They are going to have parties interested APP
pear before just judges, and they are going to
dispense with the shrewd sharks that live on
other mems quarrels.

you call it!
