TIE OASIS can recall quite a number that have been so turned down, by eminent mining talent, including Cananea and some of the mines at Bisbee.

SNOW in the Rocky Mountains has not been so deep in many years. The cold and backward spring has kept it all there, without any of the usual melting and consequent running of waters throughout the early months of the season. Now when the hot weather does come there will be rush of waters unprecedented, that will be away beyond the carrying capacity of the streams and rivers. Floods will do great damage in the valleys of the Mississippi basin, and the Colo rado. The supreme test of the work done to check the flow of that river into the Salton sea will be in June and July.

f slave formerly COntluueu 70 VP eratc io deny him all but the very smallest share of what he pro duced, and bis new condition was but little better than slavery. Bu gradually the condition of the worker has improved. There has been steady advance ali along the line. And under the beneh. cent institutions of the United States that improvement has been the most marked and substantial.
 In securing the general amelior- ation of the condition of the work ing classes which is marked feature in the social polity of the United States, trades unionism has been most powerful and po- tent factor. It has improved the condition of the worker, and 1t has improved the standard of his work and its product as we'll. In that way has trades unionism appreci- ably advanced the material, social and moral welfare of the American people.
 In the relation between the em- ploying and the working classes there come inevitably times when there are differences, and friction. Frequently such differences cannot be settled without trial of strength between the opposing forces. Were all the workers of the same mind it would be only question of whether the worker could go longer without subsistence or the em- ployer could go longer without profit. Right there Is where the problem complicates by in- lection of another factor he who is willing to continue to work at the conditions imposed. Under free l institutions it Is his right to do SO And he is entitled to protection IT that right If one form of govern. ment will not protect him another will. And organized society vii select that form of government
 which best protects. The trade unionist has undeniably the righ
 to refuse to work under conditions
 he dislikes. He has likewise th'
 right to dissuade all others iron
 working under the same condi
 tions. But when he resorts t' 1 violence to prevent another iron
 taking his place, organized so
 ciety adopts the violence of mil itary despotism to protect the oth CT; and in the end to compel botI
 of them to work under condition intolerable to each, but escap
 from which is impossible.

TRAoes uH,oM,sm Axo FREE LABOR.

Touching upon the great problem of the rights and relations of workers and their trades unions the New York Herald of recent date presents this clear statement of fundamental truths:
 "In this country labor cannot remain half slave and half free. If Union men are to remain free to organize and to Agitate and to quit work if their de- vhands are not complied with then .sltber workmen must be equally free to step out of organizations and to sell their labor where and when and on what terms are acceptable to them selves. Unless this right is maintained, and at any cost, our institutions are doomed and free popular government must be pronounced a failure
 The foregoing goes to the very root of the problem of free govern Fnent. It was the disorder and the violence attendant upon adjust Eneat of labor conditions that sounded the death knell of some of the earlier republics. The fierce ness of workers in demanding a fairer share of what they produced and the violence visited upon those who opposed those demands, tor toward those of their own class who aided in opposition and their mastery of the government, con- sisting of men elevated by their suffrages, giving them protection in their violence and excess, made conditions of anarchy to escape which organized society welcomed readily the military despot who cured the despotism of the mob by suppression.
 Of itself unionism has been a far reaching and influential factor ir the improvement of the condition of the working classes. Under any form of civilization that division of labor which precedes civiliza- sion, and without which develop .ment would be impossible, render: by the very operation of natura laws classes and distinctions among workers-principals and depend ents. And their respective share! tn their common production have been always subject of frict o and trouble between the two classes Tn the early stages of civilization when everything was crude anC general intelligence was upon ; low level, the dependent was tht chattel of the principal, and hi' share of the common production very limited.

come in and fill the hold. When per-

latest being a battle in the streets of
the capital city between the factions
of thevictorious Honduran rebels who
few weeks ago helped Nicaragua
overthrow the government A letter
which escaped the censorship and ar
rived here says that the troops Of the
Junta opened hostilities among them
selves on April s. The fighting was
brought on because of a somewhat I'M
usual kind of government which the
leaders had tried. Three Of these lead
ers-Rosales, Bustillo and Castro
agreed to take turns as president, each
serving fifteen days.
That Is What He Was There For.
1t developed, however that each
during his term attempted to strength
en- his party by dividing up the patron
age where it would do him the most
good. Finally the friends Of Pellcarp
Bonilla proclaimed Bustillo provisional
president without ar $3.50 fifteen-dav
clause and the opposing factions did
the same for Rosales Then fighting
began. Troops Of both sides occupied
what Is known as University place
adjoining the palace Rosales from a
window of the presidential palace
shouted to his partisans to open fire.
The other side replied, merchants shut
their shops and a battle was on in the
principal business streets Of Teguci-

upon the houses, but caused only sew

legged marriage of the priests was
made. Father Kranjec is rector of St.

the absence of an order of arrest, and
on the overrruling of this motion, to
quash the entire proceedings. This
