An Interesting Letter from
Mrs. Lula Easley.
Naples, Italy. March 27 %.

Naples, Italy, Marcn ~, 'US.
Editor Tupelo Journal.
Dear sir:-We left Alexandria
the 23rd inst. While at Alexan-
dria, although we did no visit
ing, except in Passing through,
on account of a few cases of Bu-
bonlc plague, we thought of
Alexandria as the place founded
by the Great General and once
the home of Ptolemy, the astron-
omer, Barnabas and Apollos, the
companions of Paul; of Philo, the
philosopher, whose writings Paul
studied, and Of Hypotia, who
lectured before the Ne Platonic
School, rendered immortal by
Charly Kingsley. A delightful
voyage from Alexandria to this
place. This is a place noted in
song and story from Homer to
Horace. They all praised ''the
Bay of Naples" Vessuvius is
about Is miles south. The hills
rest in purple and green and are
dotted with villages and villas.
1t was on these magnificent
slopes that Caesar and Pompey,
Hadrian, Caligula and Nero had
their villas. On one of these
hills Virgil wrote his Aeniad and
Gorglas here he was bu-
rled. 1t was near here, on the
Island of Nisida, that Cicero and
Brutus held their last conference.
After Paul left Malta, A. D. 62,
for Rome, he landed at Puteoli,
near here. Over there, near the
base of old Vessuvius lie the two
buried cities, now partially ex-
humed. We are delighted to see
how the Romans lived two thou
sand years ago, the Aqurium
and other things. Soon we will
be in Rome. Then on through
Europe, before we 60 back home,
and as John Howard Payne said,
though he never owned home,
Sweet home"
Rome, the So-called Eternal City,"
This old city was started 7 or
800 years before Christ. The
story of Romulus and Remus and
the wolf is familiar to all. The
city which once sat upon her
seven hills and ruled the world"
has been destroyed many times,
yet it is reasonable to believe
that some of the old stones, old
walls and statuary remain with
the modern city. The laws of
Rome did not permit the dead to
be buried within the cities. The
bodies were usually burned. The
Christians desired to be buried
like Christ, hence the Catacombs.
These subteranean graves are
found by the thousands at NAL
ia, Italy, Egypt and other places.
The Appian way, which Paul
walked, is here. The Quo Va
dis" Chapel, the Aqua Vergine,
the Temple of Vesta, St Peters,
the Coliseum, the Street Corso,
the River Tiber, and hundreds
of other places full of interest
to the traveller.
Here, too, is the church Of St
John Lateran, the Mother of
all Churches" Of Romish faith.
In Rome we find The Sancta
Scala, - said to be the stairway
brought from Jerusalem, and
over which Christ walked. 1t
was on this stair, in Luther's
heart, that the Reformation was
born. He soon sounded out
the bugle call that never called
retreat. He was sitting out the
hearts of men before the judg-
ment seat"
In Jerusalem and other places
we saw many pilgrims kissing
things they regarded as sacred.
Here in Rome we see similar
things. Many kiss the toe of
the bronze image of St Peter.
Yours truly,

The governor of the State, John Sparks, was the employer, at one time, of the notorious Diamond Field Jack Davis, who while in the employ of Sparks, and upon the order of Sparks, assassinated two sleeping men, and then for whose protection for this deed the present governor of the State of Nevada and his cattle company expended many thousands of dollars.
 The Honorable CD George S. Nixon, United States senator for the State of Nevada, another leading spirit in the Mine Owners association, is a gentleman who made his start in life immediately after the bank with which he was connected at Winne- mucca, New, was burglarized. The people of that vicinity are heartless enough to say that the burglaring of the Nixon bank was planned and executed in behalf of the present United States senator, who, at any rate. dates his debut as man of means from that time.
 These are two very fair samples of the men who go to make up the Mine Owners association and Citizens Alliance of the State of Nevada, a great many of them being convicts, gamblers and thugs of the lowest de- scription, who stop at no crime to accomplish their ends. Allied with these forces are the railroad com panies entering the district, who, thu ough the efforts of the I. W. W. and w. F. of M. had been forced to pay the union scale of wages for all labor and work on the railroads. We can imagine United States Senator Clark, of Montana ill, fame, little relished the idea of paying s4.5O per day for labor on the grade of his road; no more so did the other two roads.
 The present diff ;ulty is the result of the concerted action on the part of the employing class, backed up by the subservient tool of that class, Theo- dore Roosevelt, who makes clear to the most dumb of the laboring class that the present government of this country is but committee appointed by the employing class to enforce tho dictates of that class, and it says to the working class, "My will is your law, and if you don't recognize it as such and accept the conditions that 1 am pleased to give you, all the powers of the government are behind me see that you do. y
 Members of the working class, the issue has made more clear the struggle of the classes. It is the duty of our class today to grasp the significance of these moves on the part of the em- ploying class, and to prepare to meet industrial unionism as outlined and exemplified by the Industrial Workers of the World, as the only remedy that will avail the workers in this struggle. The answer to the Goldfield situation is "Workers of this country. unite together in the organization that stands for your interests alone, which, when perfected, will make useless the use of soldiers, judges and jails. '' VINCENT ST. JOHN.

VINCENT ST. JOHN
 ON c0LDFIELD STRIKE

The attention of the working class should be at this time directed to Goldfield, Nev., the scene of the latest attempt on the part of the employing class to subjugate the workers. The camp at Goldfield, Nev., has long been thorn in the side of the employers by reason of the conditions enjoyed thereby the working class, gained by them through their organization in the I. w. w. and the w. F. M. These conditions briefly stated, were gained at the foundation of the camp, and are the universal eight-hour day and the minimum scale of wages of s4.50 per day. With the inception of Goldfeld as mining camp, labor was recog- nized as the prime factor in develop ing the camp, and by reason of this fact the union was recognized without any attempt on the part of the em- ployers of labor to antagonize it.
 The statement by emissaries of the mine owners of Goldfield, to the effect that the mine owners are be- coming tired of the repeated exact Ions of the union and are determined once and for all to break the power and influence of the union at this time, is false. The entire struggle in Goldfeld, as elsewhere, has simply been a conflict occasioned by organ ized labor resisting the encroach- ments of the employing class.
 In the beginning there was no question as to the influence of the Miners Union of Goldfield. Every struggle occasioned since the begin ming has been brought on by the mine owners in their efforts to lessen the influence and power of the miners organization.
 Stories of attempted violence, dynamite plots and the finding of hidden rifles, emanate from the per jured brain of the mine owners press agency, and are given to the public with the sole intention of prejudicing the miners in the eyes of the country at large in order that the people will have a suitable state of mind for them to perpetrate any fresh outrages that they have in view on the mem- bers of the Miners Union of Gold field.
 If any rifles were found by the of the Mine Owners asso. citation, they were first hidden by the same people, and were part, no doubt, of the contents of two piano boxes that were unloaded at the Ccmbina- tion Mine two days before the arrival of troops. The alleged dynamite out rage is too childish to be given any credence by even the most unsophis- ticated. The story of the miner at tempting to explode frozen giant powder is too absurd to be repeated, and proves conclusively that were such plant found it was the work of detectives.
 When we take into consideration the personnel of those who are at the head of this fight against the Western Federation of Miners and the INV. w. of Goldfield, we can readily under stand that they would stoop to even worse than alleged dynamite plots to gain their ends.

 Jack Kemball, who has been pros pecting around Solomon during the winter, is in Nome for q short visit. Jack is well known among the union boys, he having been one of the prime founders of the Longshoremen' $ union. When the longshoremen S union become so infested with the fakirism which has been blight to it and which has caused all self respect ing working men to align themselves with the genuine labor movement of Nome, namely the W. F. of M. and the I. w. w., Kemb ball took his stand with the rest of the boys who saw that in order to have genuine union, they must emancipate themselves from the labor fakirs who have now so long disgraced the longshoremen's union and the So called Federal Labor Union.

Jolly Fellows Entertain.

The skating party given at the Col
osseum Rink, Thursday night, by the
"Jolly Fellows" Skating Climb was a
most enjoyable affair, fully twenty
more couples being present than at
the first party given by the Club two
weeks ago. The hall was tastefully
decorated and lighted by japanese
lanterns, and the whole forenoon of
that day had been spent in sandpaper-
ing the floor until it was per-
fectly smooth and in excellent condi-
ton for skating. The session COM
menced before eight o'clock and lasted
until eleven. affording more than three
solid hours of amusement for the
large throng of guests that had been
invited.
