The assassination Of Ex-Governor
Steunenberg Of Idaho, the arrest OF
Harry Orchard and his alleged con-
fesslon OF the awful deed, recall the
sending out broadcast over the entire
west, the highly innammatory pro-
nunclamento of the Western Fedora
ton of Miners IN May, 1902, IT was
dated IN Denver and at the time caused
a vast amount of unfavorable and
other comment For a time II was
called the marked victims" circular
and was looked upon as an exceeding
ly dangerous piece Of literature. How
ever, as time wore on It was thought
that the spirit 1t breathed had been
extlngulshed and that the so-called
members Of the Inner Circle had for
gotten in measure the troubles of the
Bull Pen days. But If the charges
now openly made by detectives are
true, it has only been slumbering and
waiting patiently for the time when II
could strike. In this connection II
Is interesting to note the text of the
circular which IL just now causing a
great deal OF discussion IN union and
antl-union circles. IL Is as follows
TEXT OF THE APPEAL
Members OF the Western Federation
of Miners aud friends in Idaho We
appeal to you as members of organized
labor and citizens, to protect your
rights from men who have in the past
proved to be your greatest enemies,
resortlng TO methods unknown In his
tory TO deprive people of their liberty
In defiance of law and justice, at the
bidding OF corporations. These men
are aspirants for office and IL remains
with you to say whether they shall be
elected to positions where they can In
the future carry on their work OF per-
secution against the miners and other
workingmen I'm Idaho and elsewhere
who are members of organized labor.
Workingmen everywhere are watching
your movements to see whether you
will elect any Of these nen to office
now or In the future, and we trust
you will prove 10 them that no enemy
OF labor win be elected to office by
your votes.
TO USE EVERY INFLUENCE.
We believe 1t is your imperative
duty to use your influence morally
financially and politically against those
men who have been I'm the employ OF
the mining corporations Of Idaho, car
rying out their diabolical schemes to
destroy organized labor in the state.
We invite you to make a thorough
investigation of the acts OF those men
In their official and private life, and
learn how antagonistlc they have been

to the interests of workingmen, and
when you are satisfied with the truth
Of our statements we cali upon you TO
do your duty at every opportunity. and
bury those uncompromising enemies Of
yours with your ballots, regardless Of
party or political influence,
IN substantiation of this appeal we
herewith submit for your consideration
the record OF those men to show cause
why We ask you TO take this action
sTEUNENBERG THE FIRST.
Beginning with Ex-Governor steun-
enberg, who was on account OF his
false assertions that he was a member
of organized labor, nominated and
elected by the votes Of the working
people of the state. When he was
nominated he publicly declared that he
would do justice TO all people regard
less Of their position or calling In life.
How he regarded this statement is well
known by his Imprisonment OF twelve
hundred men in the Bull Pen. When
nominated he stated that he sould not
pay his campaign assessment, but In
four years afterwards his properly
and holdings increased sufficiently to
place him among the rich men Of the
state.
HAWLEY THE NEXT.
James Hawey in 1892 was retained
as assistant counsel with Mr.. p. Reddy
TO defend the Occur d'Alene miners
and other innocent men, When those
trials We're ended Mr.. Hawley received
81 800 to fight the injunctions issued
by Judge Beatty. but he never APP
peared In court afterwards in behalf
Of his clients. In 1899 Mr.. Hawlcy re-
verscd his position and became coun-
sci for the mineowners, where he
could use the Information he had OBJ
tanned while counsel for the miners in
1892. TO send them to the penitentiary.
When asked by Attorney Reddy why
he did Nhs. he was unable to answer
because he knew that he had played the
part OF a traitor and detective on men
who were his former friends.
JUDGE STEWART ARRAIGNED.
Judge George A. Stewart. a bitter or
pOnent OF organized labor, was selected
by Steunenberg and the members %
the Mine owners association To leave
his judicial district and go to Wallace
and hold court, presumably for the ex-
press purpose of cOnVicting men select
ed by the Mine owners association.
The court records prove how well
he did this work IN the removal OF the
sheriff and county commissioners and
sentencing Paul Corcoran to II years In
the penitentiary for a crime he never
committed. All his rulings were IN ia
vir If the prosecution regardless of OBJ
jections raised by counsel for Sheriff
Young, the county commissioners and

DIG AT BORAH.
w. h. Borah. an attorney OF small
caliber, from Boise, Idaho, was em-
ployed by the Mine owners association.
presumably for his INSCRIPTIONS char
acter, and upon his arrival in Shoshone
county, in stead Of acting in his profess
sional capacity as an attorney, he en-
gagged with Bartlett Sinclair in sys-
TEN Of bribery and intimidation to COM
pei witnesses to give false testimony
against Paul Corcoran.
FRANK MARTIN BERATED.
Frank Martin, the present attorney
general Of Idaho like his predecessor,
was one OF Steunenberg's lleutenants.
and counseled him i'm all things in his
persecution OF the men IN the Bull Pen.
and from his earliest record in Idaho, II
is well known that he Is an meom-
promising enemy OF organized labor. He
Is a deceptive politician, and will re-
sort TO anything TO accomplish his ends.
When nominated for the position of at
torney general. in making his campaign
IN the mining camps he went to the
miners, unsolicited, and told them that IL
elected attorney general he would see
to It that martial law was abolished In
ShOshOne county. and would vote for
Paul Corcordn's pardon when an april
cation was presented TO the board OF
pardons. He even went into Shoshons
county aud asked the miners to sup
port him on those grounds To show
the deceptive character OF this man We
can say that he opposed the abolition OF
martial law in Shoshone county. and
was the only man on the hoard OF par
dons who voted against the pardon of
Paul Corcoran.
SULLIVAN AND QCARLES.
Judges sullivan and Quarles of the
supreme court have taken an uncom-
promising position against organized
labor in the state, and II is matter

UNION LABOR WINS
IN ENGLISH HOUSE
Exciting Scenes During De-
bate; Breaking of Pledges
Openly Charged.

LONDON, Aug 3.-The trades dis
putes bill, which is a direct outcome Of
the Taifvule decision that trades unions
funds arc liable for the illegal acts OF
individual members of 4 union, passed
the committee stage in the House OF
Commons this morning and was report
ed to the House amid ministerial cheers.
Considerable excitement marked the de-
bate. during which several amendments
opposed by the Government were dc"
feated by narrow maJoritics, IN one
case the Government being saved from
defeat by few Unionist votes.
There was n somewhat extraordinary
scene after midnight, following Prime
Minister Campbell Bannerman s refusal
to accept Lord Robert Cecil s motion to
report progress, Lord Robert saying
that the Primo Minister had pledged
himself that the debate should not con
tinue after IL o clock, When the mo-
ton was defeated by a Government
majority of 2l2 Mr.. Balfour accused
the Primo Minister of deliberately
breaking his pledge. He declined TO
take further part in tho proceedings,
and invited his followers to leave the
House.
The invitation of the former Prime
Minister was accepted by all Of the
three score of members of the opposi-
ton present, amid ironical Ministerial,
Nationalist and Laborite cheering. a
few of those who left the chamber re-
turned subsequently, but the front op,
position bench remained empty and
several Liberals and Radicals took seats
on it amid Radical cheering.
The debate then proceeded without
interest to its close,
In place of the clause III the original
bill exempting the funds of 4 union
from damages when illegal acts have
been committed without the authority
of the union, clause was adopted Civ
ing trade union, whether Of workmer
or employers, complete immunity from
claims for damages for illegal acts com
mitted during strike.

dealing in obscene literature in circu-
lating the league fall catalogue, con-
tanning pictures in the nude, given out

"That a school of this character
should be subjected TO the sensational
attacks Of Mr.. Comstock is outrageous
and the league had not the slightest in
timatlon that its publication could be
considered Objectionable until Mr.. Com
stocks sudden arrest of an entirely in
nocent and unprotected girl employee.
"Concerning the pamphlets, copies of
them were. transmitted through the

that the league will push tho fight Wig

ICEMEN ARE NAILED
Trial Court Fully Sustained by Decision
on Appeal.

TOLEDO, Ohio, Aug 3.-Judge Bah
cock, in common pleas court today
handed down his decision in the ice
cases, sustaining Judge Kinkans in
every particular, and exonerating him
of having made any promise or sug-
gestion Of lenicncy as claimed by the
attorneys for the ice trust.
Were it not for the fact that the ice
men 8 attorneys succeeded in getting
into Circuit court on error the defend
ants would at once have to go to the
workhouse. Technically, their cases
are yet pending in the upper court, al
though Judge Babcock S decision re-
moves the case entirely from the Cir
cult court. The court, however, is ad.
journed until the middle of September,
and sentences are suspended until the
court meets and 1t has nothing further
to do with the cases.
Should the attorneys for the icemen
appeal from Judge Babcock TO the Cir
cult court, which they are likely to
do, that court will either send the cases
back for rc-hearing in common pleas
court, or by declaring there is no er-
Tor, cut Off the last hope of the ice
men to escape Imprisonment.
