SELF SACRIFICING" TACTICS.

The Fayctte Journal. one of the
mouthpieces of the "sclf-sacriGc
ing' Samuel. has the following
editorial ding at John Mitchell in
its issue of last week:

source that Mr.. John Mitchell is
coming into this coal field. for the
purpose of cttccting his miners or
ganlZatlOn. There is 10 reason to
believe that his effort will be met
with open arms. Organization
under the terms offered by Mr..
Mitchell is not desirable in the
West Virginia field. 1t gives no
advantage either to operators or
men, and its promotion is desired
only for the purpose Of lettering
conditions in other states where
Mr.. Mitchell has large interests. =

ENOUGH IS PLENTY.

Alteration of wealth-which
seems to be the commonest vice of
our time-is curious perversion
of sound and sensible instinct.
The possession of property means
independence and more-the best
safeguard human being can get
against the meanest and most
harassing and most dreadful ills of
life. Not to appreciate that the
man who has a competence is in SO
far enviably situated is to be lack
ing in common sense. But it shows
an equal of common sense to lose
sight Of the real and only purpose
of property-just as if one, APP
preciating that a suit Of clothes
was good thing, should erect it
into a deity, or should go about
wearing a dozen suits Of clothes,
one over the other.
The man who keeps himself use
fully employed at that which he
does best is an intelligent and
satisfactory citizen, whether he
gets rich incidentally or DOESN'T.
The man who makes employment a
means to the and of getting rich is
pitiful and ridicu, ous-but neither
so pitiful nor so ridiculous as those
who worship him as his habit Of
wearing Il dozen suits at time,
where one would adequately cover
him.

PINKERTONS FOILED.

charing that Charles II. Meyer,
president of the Western FEEDER
alton Of Miners, was during the
year of 1856, an inmate of Joliet
prison in Illinois, having been con-
victcd upon the charge of burglary.
In very secluded portion of the
story was a denial by Mr.. Meyer,
in which he stated that he worked
in South Dakota in 1856, giving
the name of the mining company
for which he was employed.
Some Of the more sensational
newspapers of the country have
produced in adjoining columns
photographs of Charles S. Meyer,
the convict and Charles II. Meyer,
the president of the Western Fed.
Grafton Of Miners, with the sug-
scStiOn that there was remark
able likeness between them.
AS the Associated Press has
taken no steps to prevent the
spread of poison set by it's sen
Sational story, it is left to the
labor papers to produce the truth.
SO many people are unwilling to be-
licve anything good of Il labor
"agitator.' Too many are willing
to believe everything bad of him.
The most unfamiliar are willing to
believe the very worst, because
some very damaging stories have
been printed about the lives and
characters of the unfortunate
officials of the Western Federation
of Miners in the capitalistic news
papers of the country.
1t now can be stated upon re
liable authority that Charles Ii.
Meyer, president of the Western
Federation Of Miners, is not
Charles S. Meyer, who served a
term in the Joliet penitcntiary.
Mr.. Meyer is Il member of the Odd
Fellows, and when being admitted
his life character was investigated
from the time Of his birth, and the
records show where every year of
his life was spent.
No better evidence of Mr.. Movers
career in the year of 1856 can be
furnished that the statement of his
friends and ncighbors in Dead
wood, S. ID.
The editor of the Register, the
leading newspaper in the Black
Hills, took the pains to interview
Il number of the old-timers in re
gard to Charley Meyers residence
in the Black Hills. This is his
story:
owe found many people who
knew Mr.. Meyer in the Hills at
some time during 1856. One man,
a resident of Deadwood, is positive
Charles Meyer and family lived on
Miller street, near where the Bur
lington round house now stands.
The house where Meyer lived was
torn down i'll 1887. so he does not
believe he can be mistaken about
the date.
''George Butler, the Deadwood
jewclcr, lived next door to Mover
ON Miller street at the time the
Chicago Journal says he was in
Joliet. Meyer was living at home
at that time and Mr.. Butler saw
him frequently.
"Harry Damon had a contrac,
grading out the site of Chinatown,
during lSS4-5-6. at Deadwood, and
he knows that Meyer worked fol
him Il portion of that time. but
could not say which wear. Tn,
contract was finished in 1857
From the evidence so far obtained
1t is quite evident that either Their,
are two Charles II. Movers or thai
the corporation owned newspaper,
have overstcpp2d themselves il
trying to blacken Meyers record. ;

then never forget and never doubt the
truth of the lessons learned. The
strongest reason for the object les
sons in agriculture is that they direct
the pupils to a life of observation.
The most important steps in the edu-
cation of a child is to open his eyes to
things. The highway of knowledge
passes through the eyes. Persistent
and accurate observations r the
foundation of scientific knowledge.
A great jurist once said to me, "A
| lawyer with close observation and
| some knowledge of law is more sue
cessful in winning cases than q great
law student without the observation
Teaching q child to observe will do
more towards making a successful
farmer than sny amount of book lore
memorized. l am, therefore, in favor
of the school garden and the educa-
ltion derived from it. l am not so con-
fdent that the teaching OF agriculture
in the common schools, eve accord.
ing to the best methods, will accom-.
plish all that some anticipate in the
way of lettering conditions IN the
farm. The strongest influences thai
shape . life are the home influences.
