RESOLUTION.

To the Honorable, The presi-
dent and congress of the United
States of America:
! Whereas. Thousands of miners
in the copper regions of Michigan,
as well as in other parts of the
United States. have been for
months engaged in a terrific strug-
gle with the mine owners; and
Whereas, In this struggle the
workers have encountered atroci-
ty and outrage, have seen their
members murdered, their proper
ty destroyed. their homes rava-
ged, their children killed, the edi-
tors and publishers of their pa
pers arrested and trown into Jail
and refused release on bail; their
leaders shot, violently assaulted,
dragged trough the streets of the
city, and driven out of the Sta
tie; and
Whereas. In all the copper re
gion all semblance of right. and
justice is suspended and a reign
of violence and terrorism prevails,
while labor and industry are pa
ralyzed; and
Whereas, This events demon
strate conclusively the utter inca
phcity of the present mine owners
to operate the mines of these re-
gions, either in justice to labor
or in safety to the community, or
in harmony with the welfare of
the people of this nation. There
fore be it
Resolved, That the undersigned
hereby demand of the congress OF
the United States to take steps
as follows:
First - That a thorough con-
g%ressional investigation of the
whole strike situation be made
immediately, and the findings
be published at the earliest pos
sible moment;
Second That the government
take immediate steps to acquire
POSSESSION Of the copper mines,
and operate them under union
conditions.

A SOLID TRAIN LOAD OF
CORNO FEED.

The Greenwood Grocery Com.
pany received the largest ship.
ment OF feedstuff on Wednesday
of last week ever brought to this
city.
This mammoth shipment con-
sisted Of Como Feed from the
|Corno Mills Co., st. Louis, repre-
scented in this territory by our
esteemed fellow-townsman, Mr..
John P. Nets. s
The trainload started out from
st. Louis with about SO cars Of
Como Feed-some for Memphis,
Meridian and Greenville, but 20
cars for the Greenwood Grocery
Co! Every car was a brand
new one, Just from the Southern
Railway shops, each one exactly
the same size, and presented a
splendid picture. A large Como
circle banner was tackled on both
sides OF each cara large stream
er extending across the top Of
one car reading: Solid Train
Load Como Feed For Greenwood
Grocery Co." A large panorama
picture was taken Of the train as
left East st. Louis, which will be
used BY the Como Mills CO. as an
advertisement.
The Commonwealth congratu-
lates the Greenwood Grocery
upon their rapidly in
.reasing business, as well as Mr..
upon the enormous sales Of
Feed, not only here but
throughout his territory. All con
.erned in making up this trainload
shipment are entitled to wear 4

s%UBLIMATED CALL.

The Jackson News says that The
> queerest damage suit ever instituted
/, against a common carrier in this state
!. has been docketed in the circuit court
Of Pike county. A. M. Newman filed
|, a declaration against the Illinois Cen.
trail Railway asking damages in the
sum of ~, 800 80, the amount being pu,
at that odd figure to prevent a transfer
Of the litigation to the federal court.
Seyersl months ago Newman killed
Jack Ansley, conductor on an Illinois
Central train at Summit. The two
men had engaged in a fight. and New
man claimed he acted in self-defense.
The tragedy aroused much bitterness
between friends OF the two men. New
man belonging to a prominent family.
while Ansley was n Of the most pop
ular conductors on the system.
Newman was indicted for murder and
acquitted after a hnrd-fought trial.
Ordinarily it would be expected that a
man would be satisfied with an out
come Of that sort, but not so with
Newman. He wants So, 800. 50 in per
fectiy good money from the railroad
company's exchequer. not for any dam
ages received in the fight with the con-
ductor who fell victim to his bullet,
but because of the annoyance, en-
barrassment and humiliation the tragic
incident has caused him, and also to
pay a fee of ~. 200 which he pledged to
the attorneys who defended him.
Newman does not explain why he
wants the additional 5000. 80, unless it
Is for mental anguish, or % q balm to
his conscience because he slew a fel.
wheeling. Ordinarily, a mar with the
gall TO ask for damages under such cir
might be expected to file
itemized statement. For instance,
he might include therein the cost of the
bullets he pumped into the body Of his
a per diem for the brief period
spent in jail while held under the muir
charge. and speculative items on
the sums he might have made in var
Ious ventures during the interval be-
tween the tragedy and the acquittal.
The circuit judge who would give
heed to such q damage suit
,ught to be taken off the bench and
'ored for the simples. We opine that
Mr.. Newman's damage suit will be
promptly thrown out Of court on a pre-
'mptory instruction. The railroads in
his state have been buncoed and film
damned in shameless fashion, but we
