Truth About GOldfieId

From letter received in this city from Carl G. Boone, who formerly lived at Calexico, some sidelights are thrown on the great Nevada gold craze. Mir. Boone is at place named Rhyolite, which is in the Bullfrog district, and writes advising all those contemplating a trip to the Nevada goldlields to speed fly change their minds. He says RhV- olite is town of about 20OO people, that the mines are employing very few men, and almost all the working men are idle That business is very much overdone in all lines. That Rhyolite has forty-fve saloons and only three stores, that everything is wide open. Water is S2. 50 per barrel, wood $35 per cord, meals seventy-tive cents and beds one dollar It can be seen that life on that plain is entirely too strenuous for most of us.

THE BIG STRIKE IS ENDEDa
The Textile War at Fall River, Mass,
is Settled Through Gov.
Douglas Efforts.

Boston, Jan. 19-The strike of the
cotton mill operatives at Fall River,
which affected about $4,000 persons
and has been in progress for six
months. to the great hardship and
suffering of Fall River people, was
settled yesterday through the media
tion of Gov. William l.. Douglas.
Under the terms of an agreement
accepted by both manufacturers and
operatives at a conference held at the
state house, the strikers will return to
work at once under the 12h per cent.
reduction, against which they struck
last July, and with no discrimination
because of the strike. No rate Of
wages was established. but it was
agreed that Gov. Douglas shall inves-
tigate the matter of margins between
the cost of cotton to the mill owners
and the selling price of the cloth and
submit his conclusions as to an aver
age margin upon which the manufac-
turers are to pay a dividend of per
cent. on wages earned from the pres
ent time to April /.
Both sides regard the outcome as a
victory.
Fall River, Mass, Jan. 19.-The
news of the settlement of the long
pending mill strike was received in
this city with great enthusiasm.
The mills affected by the strike
have a combined capital of $25,0OO,000
and have 100000 spindles. During
the months the II mills were shut
down the operatives lost $150,00O
weekly and the corporations about
$4,000. The aggregate direct losses
to all interests is estimated at fully
S5,O0O,00O The indirect losses were
also considerable.

THECOLORADO STRIKE
Carroll D. Wright's Report to Presi-
dent Roosevelt Has Been
Made Public.
BOTH PARTIES LAWLESS.
Commissioner of Labor Says the Char
acter of the Mobs that Conducted
Deportations Was Such as to Dis
gust the Best People of the State

Washington, Jan. 2S.-President
Roosevelt sent to the senate yester-
day the report of Carroll D. Wright,
commissioner Of labor, on the strike
troubles in Colorado. The report gives
an entire history of the labor troubles
in that state.
Commissioner Wright says there
can be no doubt the cause of the
strike was to establish the Western
Federation of Miners in the smelters,
including reduction and refining mills,
as it already had been established in
the mines.
In summing up the situation, the
commissioner says: 'Lawlessness
accompanied the strike as a labor
weapon, and it accompanied the ac-
tions of the alleged law and order ele-
ment as a weapon against the strik-
ers.
THE faults in the organization Of
the union, by allowing strikes to be
determined by committee instead Of
by a referendum, and the faults in the
organization Of the Citizens Alliance,
by allowing irresponsible mobs to
represent it, have disturbed the peace
of the counties in Colorado in which
the conflict had been waged to such
an extent that people outside of Colo
RADIO wonder if there is any law or
any law abiding citizens in that state.
1t is fact, however, that order is be
ing restored. for there is third party
now interested which is claiming the
adherence of the best elements in
Colorado, and it is insisting that de
portations, whether by the Western
Federation Of Miners, or under the in
structions of the Mine Owners asso-
citation or Citizens Alliance, shall
cease"

A GAMBLERS CRIME.
He Shot and Killed Three Men and
Then Committed Suicide.

Tucson, Ariz., Jan. 2S.-A tragedy
in which four men lost their lives oc-
Cured Friday in the border town Of
Nogales. Ferdinand Walters, a gam
bier, entered the Palace saloon, owned
by NJ. NJ. Conn, walked to poker table
and, without a word of warning, drew
a revolver and opened fire on the
dealer, known as "Cowboy" Johnson,
firing two shots through his head.
Walters then turned on Conn, the pro-
prietor, who was making his way to-
ward the door shooting him through
the head and heart. The murderer
then turned his weapon toward the
monte dealer shooting him through
the back of the head. He fired a shot
at George Bendle cattleman, which
grazed the latters face, and then
sent a bullet through his own brain.

DEVELOPED GREAT SPEED.
The Armored Cruiser Maryland Was
Able to Run More than %
Knots an Hour.

Boston, Jan. 2S-The armored crui-
ser Maryland, which was built for
the United States government by the
Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry
Dock Co, attained on her official trial
trip yesterday an average speed of
22.3OG knots an hour, thereby exceed
ing her contract requirement of %
knots. The Maryland is the fourth
and last of a type of fast cruisers to
have a trial off Cape Ann. OF the three
which have preceded, the Pennsyl-
vania, the speediest, averaged a speed
of 22.43 knots an hour. 1t cannot be
said, however, at this time that the
Pennsylvania is queen of her class,
for it was announced by the trial
board that the tidal corrections for
the trial of the Maryland are in the
ships favor by from II to Is one hun
dredths of knot.

NO ASSAULT ON BUSINESS.
Revision of Tariff Schedules at Pres
ent Would Bring On
Panic.

1t is well known that if congress un-
dertakes to revise the iron and steel
schedules there will be such stopping
of everything that iron and steel will go
down in price and the iron and steel
mills will stop. 1t will not be necessary
to do anything more than to have pro-
traCted debate in congress on the tar
iff Not a rate of duty need be changed
The debate will do the work, says the
Des Mones Capital But what if the
United States Iron & Steel company
were driven to the wall. resulting in a
collapse of everything connected with
its business? There would probably be
a general panic in the United States
such as the country had not had since
1893. The stock of the company are
much below par, demonstrating the diff
Guilty of paying dividends on an over
capitalization.
But suppose overcapitaliZation were
sufficient ground for assaulting business.
How many institutions would have to
go? Take it locally in Iowa and if
every corporation doing business on fic-
titious capital were compelled to go out
Of business, how many corporations
would be left and what would become of
some of the newspapers owned by cor
porations?
The president and congress realize
the difficulties in the way of tariff
changes. therefore they are not much ex-
cited on the subject. All the tariff rip
returned somewhat discouraged at the
outlook. Foss, it is true, returned to
Massachusetts and gave out a story
about what the president said, but the
country is used to Foss' hot air.

DEMOCRACY AND RADICALISM
Party Leaders Still Trying to Explain
Away Their Disastrous
Defeat.

Some of the democratic leaders now
ascribe the party's defeat last year to the
platform. They assert that instead of
being conservative, the deliverance
should have been radical. 1t was mis-
take to bid against a party on its own
grounds. The republican party had be-
come too strongly intrenched as the
party of conservatism to make success
for a rival on that line possible. The
democrats should have gone in boldly for
new and advanced things and asked for
support for untried policies, says the
Washington Star.
What would these men offer as a rad
ical platform? Take the tariff question.
The St Louis platform declared that
protection was the robbery of the many
for the benefit of the few. That should
pass as rather a radical deliverance.
How could it be made stronger unless
coupled with a promise for immediate
and unconditional free trade? And what
party would make such a promise and
then figure on success at the polls?
Take imperialism. Scuttle was prac-
tiCally the promise last year, and. while
the Philippines were particularly re-
ferred to, that policy could not very we'll
be entered upon as to one of our new pos
sessions without being sooner or later
extended to the others. Why withdraw
from the Philippines and remain in Ha-
waii and Porto Rico? Why not return
to the old boundaries everywhere? Ii
would be difficult to go further on that
subject than did the St Louis platform
in substance did.
Take the question of national eXpendi-
lures. The ST. Louis platform charged
that we were spending too much money
and should retrench. The thrust was
understood to be at the navy. That was
pretty radical when we consider our new
obligations, and our greatly increased
trade relations all over the world.
This list might be extended. Only on
the money question was anything re-
sembling conservatism shown, and even
on that question the conservatism was
simply negative. The difficulty with
the democracy last year was not so much
in its platform as in its record. And il
these men who are now shouting for still
more radical measures have their way
the same difficulty will be confronted in
1908. The country will regard the party
as simply a bidder for office; as con-
structing its platform merely as daZ-
zlers. and as willing to use any device to
capture votes
