THE CENTRE REPORTER, FRED, KURTZ, Epiror and Pror'r The possibilities of growth in the great northwest seem to be without limitations, This is strongly evidenced by the fact that the iron for over 3,600 miles of new 1ailronds was laid during the past year. ann fei : The farmersof Dakota have taken a very practical course toward wiping out the trust monopoly evil. They haye memorialized congress to remove the tariff from all articlesfor the sale of which a combination or trust has been or may be formed. If congress in the course of the coming tariff revision would embody this idea in legis lation the “trust’’ would not last long, Dakota is claimed as a Republican “state” and this “free-trade” move from that quarter may sound a litlequee to the high tariff Republicans in the east, vane m— THE SECRET OF A STRIKE. The secret of the great strikes and their lamentable failures is simple enough, and here it is, Under the inspiration of a few soulless and inflated wratches such as have got control of the Knights of Labor, an asso- ciation of employees meet and are told that they must strike, The reasvos vary, but they are often trivial and perhaps unjustifiable or fallacious. But that dosen't make any difference to the labor bosses. They are enough to inflame the spirits of their unfortunate dupes to the | point desired. Other inflammatory and | stimulating arguments, alzs mostly lies, | are heaped before them. They are told that there is an enormous fund of money | to carry them throngh the struggle, | Loud applause. A telegram is read say- | ing that the men at the other end of the | line will eat their boots before they give | up. Greatenthusiasm. The whole dis- | trict is said to be unanimous and hot for | a general revolt, and no swrrender is the watchword, Frantic cheering. All the surrounding labor organizations are | with them heart and soul, and ready to | stand by them, ifthe struggle should as- | same such proportions, to their last dol- lar. Sensation. And so on till the bos- ses’ tongues tire of lies and their imagio- ation fails to invent new incentives, and the assembly adjourns im jubilation at the prospect of putting these great im. aginary forces in motion to crush their so-called enemies. All this is the work of the most heart. less set of unprincipled impostors that have appeared in modern times. And when such knaves are driven from in fluence in the ranks of organized labor. ers, the first and most indispensable | step in progress from the present state | of decay and dissatisfaction will have | been accomplished. !

Tense HAUTA, Ind, Jan. 3.— Yesterday was an oventful day in the history of the Vandalia line, and it has ended with Presi. dent MoKoen on top, with a board of direc | tors of his own choosing elected, The annual election of the Terre Haute and Indianapolis company was called for noon, but a temporary restraining order, obtained by the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton company from Judge Wooas, of Indinnapoiis, deferred it till two o'clock, Judge Woods in tho meantime dissolving it. The Vandalia people also made a lognl move by obtaining from Judge James M. Allen, of the Superior Court, yesterday morning an order restraining Henry 5. Ives from revoking a proxy given by him last summer to President McKeon, by which the latter was to vete the stock sold by McKeen to Ives and held by McKeen as collateral. This stook is worth $880,000, and was the bone of contention that was fought over yesterday between the Vandalin and Cloe | cinnatl, Hamilton and Dayton companies, | each olslming tho right to vote it. Judge | Allen issued an order restraining the Cine | cinnati, Hamilton and Dayton from voting | this stock. i To add interest to the fight both Henry 8. Ives and Julius Dexter, the latter prosi- | dent of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Day- { ton Company, arrived here yesterday | morning. The election occurred at? o'clock, i and President McKeen's ticket swept the 1 i i i field clean, receiving all of the 15,113 voles cast. The directors clected are: W. B. McKeen, Henry 8B.

It is the same board | of directors that managed the road at the | time Ives and Stayner bought it in June | lust, except the addition of Ives. The directors immediately electod W. B. | president: J. W. Craft, treasurer, and C. | E Farrington, secratary. A semi-annual | dividend of three per cent was deciared, which was quite remarkable when the con. i dition of the road as Ives left it is cousid- | ered. !
