"Farna Gordyeef' is the longest
and most considerable effort.
"Orloff and His Wife," "Kons-
voloff," and "Varenki Olesoff''
are among the longer tales.
To give an idea of the general
character of his work, the follow
ing are the headings that various
writers have given to their
articles on Gorky: "In Quest of
the Measuring of Life" "Beauti-
full Cyuisisni," Philosophy of
Sansoulottisni," Pictures of the
World of Ragmuffins," "A Heart
sick Talent" "The Singer of Pro-
testing World Sorrow" "The
Philosophy of Heartache and
Thirst of Freedom"
Numbers of his own titles have
the heartbreak in them, as
"Heartache," THE Procession of
Shame" Creatures That Once
Were Men,"
OF education Gorky had prac-
tically none. His grandparents
taught him to read and sent him
to school for a short time, his
own parents having died while he
was yet in tender years. He took
a dislike to learning, but had a
taste for lurid literature. Among
the varied employments in which
he engaged was that of a steamer
cooks helper. This man,
Schmoary by name, had a trunk
filled with a motley assortment
of literature, and took an interest
in the intelligent and friendless
lad. These books awakened an
Unsuitable craving for knowledge
within him and when he was
fifteen he made his way to the
university town of Kszan, think
ing that such a wonderful thing
as the training of the schools
would be for all who would apply
themselves. His cruel disillusion
implanted hatred for the cul-
tured class that never left him.
In "Konavoloff" he says
There is no ulcer that cannot be
found in the trangled and COM
plicated physical organism called
"the intelligent man."
After his bitter disappointment
in obtaining an education he went
to work in a miserable bakery
cellar, for one dollar and a quarter
a month, whose horrors he has
described most realistically in
"Twenty-Six and One" The
"Twenty-Six" were the slave
bakers, and the "One" was a
bright little milliner, at whose fall
they connived and then jeered at
her heartlessly, running her happi-
ness and theirs.
AT nineteen the shadows fell
hopelessly over his life, and he at
tempted suicide, but he recovered
from the wound, although the

MAXIM GORKY.
The Voice of the Russian Revo-
luton.

There lies to-day in military
prison in Russia the greatest lit
erary artist, the most fearless,
original and titanic thinker OF
that tragic and unhappy land.
When, in 1892, he handed his
first manuscript to an editor in
Tihis, he gave his name as Maxim
Gorky, "the bitter one" His real
name is Alexei Maximovitch
Pyeshkoff, variously spelled.
Commanding genius spoke even
in the selection of the name, "the
bitter one" Truly, the dregs OF
this system that boasts of human
ity, the one brand snatched from
the burning where countless OF
the earth's rarest and noblest
have perished.
Here is what he says of HIM
self: 81 have come from below
from the nethermost ground OF
life. where is naught but sludge
and work.
/ am the truthful voice of life,
the harsh cry of those who still
abide down there, and who have
let me come up to bear witness
to their suffering"
Gorky was born at Nishing
Novgorod, in 1869. To-day he is
thrity-hve years old. He was
abandoned by his relatives at an
early age; was earning his living
at nine; early developed the
habit of running away from mis-
treatment and overwork; became
of the drift of life, to its most de-
grading manifestation, and to-day
the literary critics admit that his
popularity has overshadowed
that of all other Russian men OF
letters living or dead.
One critic says of him: "He was
hailed as an immortal genius
shaping a world of beauty from
the nebulous masses of chaos"
His style is huge, like the out
pourings of the soul Of the uni
verse. He had a passion for free
dom, and the rare and exquisite
gift of being profoundly moved
by whatever was magnificent and
beautiful about him. His nature
paintings are unexcelled as prose
poems. The lonely and solemn
Steppe, the changing beauties OF
the sea, the sky, and the stars are
marshaled forth in the majesty
of primal splendor.
Gorky's writings consist OF
forty-four works, mostly short
stories. though several of them
make quite a booklet. Seventeen
of them have been translated into
English.

Helena, March "a, 1905.
To All Members of Organized
Labor and their Friends:
Brothers and Sisters: Causes
have arisen of late which make
it imperative upon the part of the
Executive Board of the Montana
Federation of Labor to defend
one of the most vital principles
which organized labor at all
times advocates-that of defend
ing the union label. When the
present management of the Hell
ena Independent assumed charge
it made the Independent the
mouth-piece of the nefarious Citi-
zens' Alliance, and the first act
was to remove from the paper
the union label-the insignia OF
fair conditions. Following this
the union mailer was discharged
because he refused to leave his
union, he being informed that II
he left the Mailers' union he
could continue at work for the
Independent. Being true to his
union he was forthwith dis
charged.
The Mailers' union, affiliated
with the Montana Federation OF
Labor, placed its grievance in the
hands of the executive officers oi
the Federation. Members of the
Executive Board of the state or
ganization called upon the man
ager of the Independent, Mr.
John s. NJ. Neill, but all over
lures for a peaceable settlement
of the trouble were refused, Mr..
Neill declining to either rein
state the discharged union mailer
or place the Union label on the
paper.

DRAWS A COMPARISON.

The Los Angeles Examiner,
under the caption of Eugene V.
Dcbs and Ogden Armour" has
put forth the following editorial
query:
Are there two kinds of justice'
I'm 1894 Eugene V. Debs and
some others, men or leaders of la
boring men, were enjoined by the
federal court from speaking, writ
ing letters or receiving letters and
from some other things, leaving
them free, if they chose, to eat
their meals.
Mr.. Debs was charged with
having violated this injunction
and the federal authorities swept
to the vindication of the law like
aycnging archangels.
First, Mr.. Debs was cited for
contempt of court, that form Of
prosecution where the offender
never sees his accusing witness
and has no chance to cross-ex-
anime them; where the court is
legislator, judge and executioner I;
where there is no jury trial, and
where the tactics of the Star
Chamber of Charles |. have full
play.
"Of course Mr.. Debs was con-
victed. He went to Jail for one
year. He aso was indicted for
the same acts for which he was
punished in the contempt case
But the indictment was dismissed
by the district court because
there was no evidence to support
it. And the authorities knew that
a jury would not convict him.
That was in 1894.
1T is now 1905.
Behold the difference! Mr..
Armour and the members of the
beef trust were enioined as Debs
was enjoined. They violated the
injunction repeatedly. But they
are not cited for contempt!
"A grand jury is solemnly con-
voked to investigate the question
of their conduct. If that body
finds that they have violated the
injunction they will be indicted.
And they will have a chance 70
meet their accusing witnesses, to
cross-examine them with the aid
of astute lawyers and to have a
jury trial.
Let us rejoice that constitu-
tional trials of men accused of
offenses are sometimes awarded.
Let us not begrudge Mr.. Armour
and his associates the lawful but
slow and tedious procedure of a
jury trial.
But do not forget the lawless
and summary trial which was ac-
corded Mr.. Debs and the lawful
but tardy trial to be accorded Mr..
Armour.
"The discrimination in these
cases proves conclusively that
there are two standards in this
country, one for the rich and one
for the poor. And even we'll
meaning people look with abhor-
ence on that in Mr.. Debs which
they condone in Mr.. Armour.
Moreover, suspend judgment
"Mr. Debs was punished.
will Mr.. Armour be punish
ed ?"

Nothing Personal in CaStrO's
Statement.

ATTEMPT AT EVASION.
Diplomats Hold Reply as Somewhat of
bubble - Asphalt Case Taken
Up to Establish
Precedent

Washington, D.. G., April 13.--While
officials here decline to make public at
this stage the text of President Cas-
tro.s reply to Minister Bowen's arbi-
tration proposal, it may be stated that
there is nothing personal to the American
minister in President Castros state
ment. So that if it should be eventu-
ally held to be undiplomatic and even
rude, then the injury win be sustained
by the state department rather than
by the minister, and therefore it Is
the former alone that will be concerned.
This is particularly true Of an inquiry
from the Venezuelan government as to
whether the United States presumed to
question the integrity of the Venezuelan
courts, the inquiry being couehed in rath-
er vigorous terms.
1t also appears that there is dispo-
sition on the part of Venezuela to local
ize the issue by concentrating atten-
ton upon the 0lcott case, which was
the subject of arbitration in 1908, thus
evading the attempt by the state de-
partment to rest its case principally
upon the asphalt controversy.
The state department has never been
particularly strenuous in its efforts 70
force settlement Immediately of tho
Oleott case, or any other minor pending
claims, being willing to allow all q
these to be adjusted at some future
date through the usual agency Of an
international mixed commission.
But it has pressed the asphalt case
principally because the Venezuelan gov
ernment in that matter may establish
a precedent that will inyahdate every
| foreign concession.

SECRETS IN THE TRUNKS,
Sensational Revelations Expected in the
Beef Trust Investigation.

Chicago, April 13.-An investigation
by the Federal grand jury, which is
inquiring into the working methods OF
the alleged beef trust of much deeper
nature and wider scope, it is asserted,
ii to result from the examination of the
contents of the eight trunks taken from
the safety vaults in the First National
Bank building. When these trunks were
opened, it is said, the entire secret
transactions of the Aetna Trading COM
pany, corporation through which the
alleged secret business of the packers
was transacted, was revealed to the
jurors, and as consequence many new
witnesses will be subpoenaed. The trunks
and contents have been impounded on
an order by Judge Sanborn, so that
no one by legal process can obtain pos
session of them. Among the names
of the new witnesses subpoenaed Tues
day are said to be those Of G. I'll. God
frey, alleged secretary and treasurer of
the Aetna Trading company, and r. II.
Cowan, another official Of the company.
The initials r. ii. G. appear on each
of the eight trunks taken from the de-
pository vaults, and it is believed they
belong to Cowan. Godfrey and Cowan,
it is asserted, left Chicago the day the
investigation by the jury began. They
recently were in Toronto, Canada, where
it is said all trace Of them was lost.
Delavan Frazeo, manager for the Ma
tional Packing company, was one Of
the most important witnesses before the
jury Tuesday. He was on the stand for
nearly two hours, but refused to say
what information he had given to the
jurors. Another witness who testified
yesterday was J. A. Howard, connected
with New York packing firm.
