wage workers the capi a1ists have
habitually been den ounced =as pirates,
moved by4male motives, to whom BE- d
no quarter is to be shown. And now,
by 11ot-headed* employers, the unions
are being in turn publicly denounced
as revolutionary and destructive in
temporariZed with.
These two sets Of fierce partisians,
who are always wholly in the right
while their opponets are wholly in the
wrong, see only the evil traits of the
men who oppose them and are utterly
blind to the good ones. They are re-
sponsible for much mischief. They
are especially serious obstacle to
better understanding between reason
able men.
Reckless denunciation of class by
class is usually evidence of a lack Of
contact with each other. Invariably
when representatives of the two sides
get together to discuss differences
they realize that they have about the
same qualities; that all are human
beings after all, and they soon begin
to see each other in totally different
light from that in which they had
hitherto CROPPED.
1t is as important for the employers
to curb the rampant warehouses on
their side as it is for the union men.
The Jobs and Parry:; who have been
running amuck Of late ought to be
chained up by their friends in the in
terest of industrial peace. For the
rabid utterances of workingmen allow
ance can be made, owing to their I'M
fortunate circumstances of education
and condition and the expression that
is still quite common where many of
them work, but there can be no ex-
cuse for the insensate rawlings on the
part of men charged with larger re-
sponsibility and who are so situated
as to obtain a clearer view of the
large factors of social conditions.

GIVING HIM FITS.

AT this. safe distance" writes a
resident mine-owner Of Colorado who
is sojourning in Chicago, to Governor
Peabody. II dare call you un-American
in spirit and in deed. I dare denounce
you as a red-handed anarchist who
has overthrown all civil law and de-
prived our people of their constitution
al rights to a trial by jury, to bear
arms, to free speech, free press, and
every right established under our re-
publican form of government and held
sacred by liberty loving people in
America.
"You will probably not escape the
result of your own acts Of violence, as
force begets force. Your anarchist
acts are applauded by your masters
and by other tories, such men as
bowed down and licked the boots Of
old King George III, but the. great
masses great body Of thinking
men and women-are, appalled, at your,
lack of true wisdom, real patriotisn1,'
and knowledge Of craftsmanship, many
believing your ignorance has already
fired the fuse that will burn and creep
into every state in the union, melting
civil war of the classes against the
masses. The day has gone by, Car
Peabody, when men and women can
be safely treated as you have dared to
do in Cripple Creek, Victor and else
where, turning your irresponsible mill
tary out to hunt their fellowmen and
shoot them down like jack rabbits.
when this reign of terror ceases
you should be Gagged in the bull pen
at Cripple Creek, said cage to first be
papered with true copies of our De-
claration of independence, Constitution
Of the United States and Bill Of Rights.
No other reading should be permitted
you until you could recite these docu-
ments from memory. You should be
kept on exhibition that the tourists
viewing the beauties Of the Rockies
can at the same time see also the ex-

Judge FritS's HOdF.

When Police Judge Fritz is on the
bench he is dignity personified. Wheh
off he is as fond of a practical JOKE
as any man. One of his jokes recent
" caused no end of excitement for
some hours at the Hall of Justice
Colonel Cronin of the property clerk s
office had bought a turkey for MS
Sunday dinner. He took it to the Of
flee and placed it at an open window
near the corridor. The Judge hap
pened to visit the office and when
leaving he espied Cronin's turkey. He
quietly seized it unobserved and car
ried it to his chambers. He tele-
phoned to Captain Martin that some
one had stolen a turkey from the
property clerks Office and Detective
Oman was detailed on the case.
Meantime Attorney Shortall had
seen the turkey in the Judges cham
bers and thinking it belonged to the
Judge he carried it to the bond and
warrant clerks office and hid it. The
Judge had noticed him and soon had
the gobbler back in his chambers. He
rang for a messenger boy and sent
him with the turkey to Otto Heyne-
mann, stenographer in the Chiefs Of
nee A note accompanied the luAkCJS
purporting to come from Johnnie
Kreiss, saloon-keeper, and wishing
Heynemann the compliments OF
the season. Heynemann called Kreiss
up by phone and said: Il am
awfully obliged, Johnnie; many
thanks" Kreiss replied, not knowing
exactly what he meant: That's all
right"
The Judge then telephoned to Mar
tin that he thought Heynemann had
stolen Cronins turkey. Oman and
Cronin rushed into the Chiefs office
and Cronin grabbed hold Of the tur-
key. What are you doing?" yelled
Heynemann. Let go my turkey
Cronin and Heynemann hung to the
turkey. each vociferating it belonged
to him. Oman asked Heynemann
where he got it and Heynemann re-
piled From Johnnie Kreiss.' Oman
called Kreiss up by phone and Kreiss
answered that he knew nothing about
Heynemanns turkey. Heynemann
collapsed and Cronin marched proud
ly away with his recovered treasure.

pounds to the yard, will yield semi
