When the late n Vlllemessant, the
proprietor OF the Paris Figaro, died he
left the paper to the three men who
had done the most to aid him. But
there were many old contributors on
the paper, men with well known
names, who made an cutlery at this
division of property. They insisted
that they ought to have been consult
ed, and they threatened to found an
opposition paper to Figaro
This alarmed the three principals,
and they made proposition to the eff
feet that they themselves should take
each 1900 out Of the concern yearly
and that the other men should each
have salary Of E1,5O0 for the work
they were to do and Mt the end Of the
year draw like sum out Of the prof

M0YER- HAYWOOD TRIAL
IS AGAIN POSTPONED
Prosecution Spars for Further
Time and Wins Decision
From Court.
Great Conspiracy Becomes More
Ubiquitous as Time
Wears on.

Once again the trial of Meyer, Hay
wood and Pettibone is postponed by the
prosecution. The latest pronounce
ment of Chief Prosecutor Hawley Is
that the case would "proba bly, be
called for trial "about'' the middle of
April. OF course, the dillydallying Is
perfectly fair in the eyes of the con-
spirators' who are plotting to railroad
the three men to the gallows. Meyer,
Haywood and Pettibone were kidnap-
ped and rushed into Idaho upon the
pretense of saving time and being tried
Immediately for committing crime
Yet they will have laid in Jail four
teen months when the case is called
if it is called. The defendants were
ready for trial the day after they were
thrown into prison, but the unhanged
brutes who are plotting their death,
despite their boastings, have never had
the evidence to convict the men and
whenever they manufacture alleged
proofs they are exploded. In all the
annals of crime this case stands fore
most as one Of the blacklist in Amer
lean history, and while the organized
workers the country over have been
waiting patiently for the coming Of
the day when the accused can face
their villanous oppressors in open
court, it does seem as though patience
is ceasing to be virtue. Does any,
one believe that Guggenheim or any
of the other greasy Standard Oil plut-
ocrats who are standing behind the
Goodings and Hawleys would be kept
in prison for fourteen months land
on the fimsy proof of an alleged con-
fession Of a self-confessed murderer?
1t is almost beyond belief that such in
famies can be practical, by the political
crooks in power in Idaho. 1t is the
Goodings and Hawleys and their mas
tiers who ought to be in Jail instead
Of enjoying the honors and emolu-
ments Of public office. Men who per-
form honest labor in Colorado and
Idaho ought to hang their heads in
shame for electing such a disreputable
gang to make a force of every form Of
Justice. And on top of the whole mis-
cradle burlesque upon justice comes
the announcement that the legislature
of Idaho has voted $4,000 to continue
the persecution and fatten the po-
litical grafters and Pinkerton hirelings
mixed up in the case.
