1I1CJI ANARCHISTS, j
THERE IS AN UNWRITTEN ZAVV
THAT EXEMPTS THEM.

From Chicago Sentinel: Some two
or three years ago it was dis
covered that a comparatively poor man
had tapped a city water pipe in such
manner that he obtained all tho water
he wanted without paying. Of course,
he was duly prosecuted according to
law, just as he ought to have been.
Now the siartling discovery has just
been made that the great packing;
houses of Chicago have for years been
Retting water in the same way a six
inch pipe, tapping the water main and
conducting water around the meter, in
the case of the Nelson Morris company.
The Armour company has been pro
vided in the-same manner, bo It Is said,
and several other prominent packing
houses in the stock yards district still
to be heard from, with the good work
of investigation still going on.
It Is estimated that more than a mil
lion dollars in revenue has been lost
to the city in this manner.
The Civic Federation lias stirred up
this hornet's nest, and the authorities
are compelled to take seme action. So
far. they are simply trying to stop the
leak nothing Is said about prosecuting
Phil Armour, or Nelson MorrU. or any
other of those highly respectable gen
tlemen of the stock yards district, who
are making so much money every year
and devoting a little of it to the cause
of education and religion.
It goe3 without saying that ro crim
inal proceedings will be instituted.
And why? Simply because the of
fenders are so wealthy and influential
as not to be amenable to the laws which
apply to poor people. In England there
is' a written law which exempts mem
bers of the royal family from prosecu
tion for crimes other than murder, and
there seems to be an unwritten law
in this country exempting our pluto
cratic rulers from prosecution for of
fenses of any kind.
Prasecnte Phil Armour? Tiie great
pig-potentate, who refused to appear
before a United States senatorial inves
tigating committee, and nothing was
done about it! The idea is prepos
terous. Tho man who makes United States
senators would not obey the bidding
of United States senators, much less
whom he or his confreres have placed
on the bench.
Phil Armour, Nelson Morris, and
other Chicago millionaire packers, may
have stolen millions from the city of
Chicago in evading water taxes, but
they will never be cal!ed.to account for
the offense. If the city- can "stop the
leak" it will be more than satisfied.
There don't seem to be any law in
this country which rich men are bound
to respect.
But there is a growing public senti
ment in this country that men
wealthy enough to defy the law and
live unmindful of law are no less an
archists than those who advocate the
abolition of all law for the poor as
well as for the rich, for the pauper as
well as for the plutocrat.
Anarchism is a dangerous doctrine
and its advocates, especially its practi
cal advocates, should be properly pun
ished. The anarchist who practically advo
cates the abolition of law so far as it ap-
. ...,..,1.1,.. ..!,. : -.
pt:u tu tot Hi'ftajiv ciumscs is i;ui(f
dangerous to society than he who car
ries a red flag.
The great anarchist breeder of this
country is the unwritten law that the
wealthy culprit shall go scot free for
an offense that sends a poor man to the
workhousR or penitentiary.
Now let Chicago inflict the same pun
ishment upon Phil Armour, Nelson
Morris, and the rest of the stock yards,
water-stealing millionaires who have
s'olen a mi'lion, that it did upon the
poor man who stole $23 from the city
treasury in the same manner piping
around the water meter.
If Chicago does this we will take
hack all we have said about millionaire
anarchists.
Th.it Chicago will do this, there is
just as much prospect as that John
Sherman will join the populists, and
no more.

The following editorial appeared in
the Daily Evening Post, of Louisville,
Ky., (a strong Democratic paper) o few
days ago.
"Mr. Hardin (Democrat) is trying to
steal the thundir of Mr. Thomas S. Pet
tit, Populist
"Mr. Pettit has a higher claim to tho
support of so-called free silver demo
crats than has Mr. Hardin.
"Mr. Pettit is a better democrat than
Mr. Hardin. He is loyal to the princi
ple of representation in the conduct of
party affairs. He left the democratic
party by the front door, because he be
lieved tho party wrong. He bad the
courage to surrender the Tiope of polit
ical advancement rather than surrender
his convictions.
"He preferred to leave the party to
having the pnrtv leave him. We may
differ with Mr. Pettit, but we must re
spect his firmness), hli loyalty to prin
ciple and respect for fair play.
"Mr. Pettit, moreover, is a better
rpcaker than Mr. Hardin, and a far bet
ter debater.
"If the committee desired to have Mr.
Rradley's (republican) arguments In be
half of a sound currency answered, they
should have named not Mr. Hardin,
who knows nothing on either side of
the question, but Mr. Pettit, who has
the arguments of the populists at hia
tongue'n end.
"Still further, Mr. Pettit would maka
a better governor than Mr. Hardin.
His judgment Is sounder; hia views ar
clearer; his reasoning powers stronger,
and he knows how to express himself
so his auditors can understand him.
"Give Mr. Pettit a chance. He has
had great experience in legislation and
knows enough to know that many of
Cen. Hardin's vagaries are utterly ab
surd. , "It Is true that Mr. Pettit is the can
didate of tho populists, but he is not
their victim; r.o one has hypnotized
him, and he would lead his folowers
and not surrender to them.
"Mr. Pettit is a man of many ideas;
Mr. Hardin is a man of one. Mr. Pet
tit stands bv his platform: Mr. Hardin
repudiates his. Mr. Pettit was the
choice of the party; Mr. Hardin was
forced on the party against its wish.
Mr. iv.ttlt v-nuc ta the will of the ma
jority; Mr. Hardin's own will is a law to
him. Mr. Pettit at Frankfort would be
prudent, cautious, painstaking, indus
trious; Mr. Hardin would be obstinate,
indolent and dangerous to all interest.
"Altogether, it would, in our judg
ment, be far better for the state and
for the democratic party to elect I et
tit than to elect Hardin."
NOT WAITE'S FAULT.
Colorado' Ki-Uovernor V.cta lSaelt
the "Keilecmnr" III tireikt Stylo.
Chicago Sentinel.
When Davis II. Waite was governoh
of Colorado, his activity in stirring up
things got him into a number of contro
versies, from which he usually emerged
triumphant. At times he beat the ene
my with argument, and when they
"tried to be funny" the shafts of wit
he hurled at them showed them they
had "caught a Tartar." In the campaign
which resulted in his defeat the one
cry was, "Waite must bo beaten and
the state redeemed from populist mis
rule!" The banks that had failed during
his term of office were dwelt upon, and
the promise given that no more banks
would fail and prosperity would return
if the populists were whipped.
Waite was said to be ruled by his
wife, and it was said she was the real
chief executive. In his paper, Our
Nation's Crisis, he comments on a re
cent bank failure in Denver and exon
erates himself and wife from blame in
the following happy manner:
"In the matter of the failm-3 of tin
Union National bank.
"Plea in abatement.
"And now comes Davis II. Waite, a
citizen of Denver, and over the age o(
I til years, and affirms in his own behalf
that h ought not to be held responsible
I for the failure of said bank for the reas-
i ons following that is to say:
"First Affiant denies that hebrokc
the said bank, either on purpose and
J with malice prepense, or accidentally.
j and he alleges that he never learned of
the failure of said bank until Monday
of the present week and was consider
ably astonished thereat, because affiant
i had been informed on several occasions
within the past six months that 'the
state of Colorado had been redeemed;'
that immediately on hearing of said
failure this affiant hurried homo to as-
i certain if he had in his possession any
i bills of the said bonk and found after
I minute examination that he was pos
sossed of no bank bills on the said bro
ken bank, or any ether bank.
"Second -To the current report that
the failure of said bunk was caused by
the withdrawal from the said bank of
! 'a generous confidence,' this affiant
! solemnlv avers that he withdrew nary
j confidence from the said liable.

ISill Ari. Ooltlliiiff Writer, iot Cou.
vrrteil l.y "Coin I to Dine" iin.l
Tell Ills rrifinln I hat They 'itiinot
Meet It nllli Aix.ioi. lit.
I have Just finished reading Coin's
fast book "Cp to Date." If somebody
doesn't answer it and prove It a lie it
will shake this country from center to
circumference. The bankers and spec
ula tors and money kings will bo over
thrown and the danger is that the
masses wii". o too far in revenging
their wrongs and, like Samson, pull
down the temple and crush all alike.
When ho shows up the Inequalities of
taxation and how the rich escape, it
makes the blood boil with Indignation.
Aside from the silver question, he gives
a certificate of David Core, tho auditor
of public accounts for the state of Illi
nois, which shows that all that the
bankers and brokers of Chicago were
assessed for taxation was only $44,000
of money, while farmers of that county
were assessed 51,000 for agricultural
tools and implements. Tl ink of it! The
farmers' tools are assessed nearly twice
ns much as all the money credits and
securities of all the banks, bankers and
brokers of that great city. And all the
diamonds and jewelry in Chicago were
assessed at $17,750, when it is known
that single families live there who
own diamonds and Jewelry ten times
Ibat sum in value. The money of these
bonks amounts to hundreds of millions,
but through the manipulation of muni
cipal poiitica the rich control the as
sessors and escape taxation. Can this
be true? If it is false, why doesn't Ell
Perkins say so. I ec that he has taken
the field against Coin, but I can't tell ex
actly from his last piece whether he is
lying or joking. He closes it by saying
that after he had shown Coin his errors
and fallacies Coin gave It up and teara
rolled down his cheeks and he dis
missed his school and declared he
wasn't gwlne to teach any more. I like
Ell. I like any lie that is funny and
ha' T less. I used to like to read Baron
Munchausen, and I like to read Eli now.
I confess that it strains my credulity
.o believe what Coin writes about the
Chicago banker's tax, but there is the
certificate of the state auditor. Surely
there is some explanation of all this.
We know what. Solomon, and Paul and
the Savior said about rich men, but I
never believed that our rich men were
that bad. We poor fo!l;.i whose income
waa under the mark, believed that in
tax large incomes was the right thing
to do, but it seems that we can't do it.
We a:e taxed all the time on the outgo
through the operation of the tariff a
tariff for revenue only, with lncnie;,!;,!
protection. It is the incidental that
sets us. An American sewing machine
or a mower or reaper can be bought in

FARMERS AND EICYCLES.
ay In Which 1'rollli or Agriculture
I live l)liiiliiihril.
The extension of the trolley and cable
systems of traction for street car linos
has greatly reduced the demand for
horses, and as electricity and steam
power has 'jeen substituted for horse
power, the market for the cheaper grade
of horses has grown worse. Recently
the farmers who dca! in horses have
met with still another disaster which
has diminished the demand further-:
the bicycle craze. This strikes at the
horses of the better quality, ordinary
carriage horses, and not those devoted
to the humble and laborious task of
drawing street cars for their board and
lodging. Livery stables throughout the
country, and more especially in the
smaller towns, are now feeling the sin
ister effect of the bicycle craze. In coun
try hotels or boarding houses where in
previous summers it was the custom of
the guests to go driving, this year there
has been very little demand for car
riages, as bicycles have furnished an
adecjunte substitute. Not only have the
livery stables suffered in respect of
transient patron3 desiring "to go for a
drive" over green hit's and through
winding valleys In tho country, but the
regular customers as -.veil havo gone
over to the bicycle contingent very
largely. Country doctors, u a rule, have
been among the best customers of livery
stables, but they are so no more, for
many country physicians now use bi
cycles for their professional visits, and
this is true of many oth"r former pa
trons of livery fatables. The big bicycle
factories are turning out hundreds, of
machines every day, and tip to a few
weeks ago could rot si'pp'y the demand.
As the number of machines increases
the demand for horses falls off, and one
of the results of this has been the
cheapening of good carriage hordes and
the reduction of the number of such
carriage horses raited by farmers. In
Mill another way the farmers of many
states have suffered from the effects of
the bicycle craze, the wheels need no
fodder. Tho fewer horses, the less de
mand for hay and oats; and It is be
lieved In many quarters that a shortage
in the New York hay crop this year is
all that prevents a big f.;ll in the price

SENATOR PEFFER ON BONDS.

ptt.liii'itttt.
Topcka, Kan., Sept. 1 .'!. "If anothc
:-Mio of bonds is made without the au
thority of cornices:-; I shall advise their
repudiation."
These a re the words of Unites States
Senator Pcffcr, used to-day in speaking
ut the probability of another bond
Issue. Senator Pefl'cr has kept his eye
on the figures ". hlch toll of the condi
tion of the gold reserve. None have
watched It slitling down below the
$100,000,000 mark more anxiously than
he. , it was he who objected very em
phatically in the United States senate
when the first and subsequent bond is
sues were made.
"I consider the bond issue fraudulent,
and I hnvo not. changed 'my position
since then. 1 still think the govern
ment has no authority to Issue bond:)
without the concurrence of congress."
said he. "I am satisfied that there will
b" another bond Issuo before Oct. 1, be
cause tho syndlcato has been given the?
privilege of taking nil tiie bonds issued
before then. There Is only one thinn
which may prevent a bond issue, and
that Is the fear that it will weaken the
democratic strength. They are mak
ing hei die, efforts to strangle the f'-co
silver sentiment in all the states, and
have to a considerable extent suc
ceeded. Look how they squelched it in
Kentufky, Atkansas and Iowa, and
nearly all the other states where a test
has been made. They arc compelling
the silver men to go cutsido the demo
cratic party if they desire to adhere to
that principle. The leaders thing that
the voters can be whipped into line, and
If they find out that they cm. then look
out for another bond issue before Oct.
1. Th,c people will be given all they
will stand, and r.o questions arc sup
posed to be asked.
"At the last session ; of congress 1
was called Impertinent because I asked
to have the names of the bond purchas
ers made public. If there be another
bond i:;::e without authority of con
gress I intend to Introduce a resolution
advising the repudiation of the bonda.
They were issued without authority,
and are fraudulent, and the people
should r.ot be compelled to pay them.
Thi3 may not sound well, but there lw
no use of allowing the people to be Im
posed upon any longer.' When the first
bond issue was proposed Secretary Car
lisle came to both houses of congress
and asked legislative authority for the
Issue, lie went so far as to prepare a
bill for that purpose and presented P :o
the committees of both the senate anj
the house. Congress refusing to act,
tho secretary gave notice that if hi
were not authorized by special act he
would issue bonds without such au
thority, and he did so. I called atten
tion to these facts at tho time; chnrged
that the bonds were issued illegally,
and also introduced a resolution in
structing the Judiciary committee of the
senate to examine and report whether
the recretary had such authority under
existing law, and the committee dared
not report because they knew there ia
no such law."

Young men are the hope of new rdeas.
They are sincere, earnest, unpieju

They have the energy, the courage,
the ambition and determination tr do
something in tho world.
They pine over no regrets and fear
not the untried future. '
Their lives are before them. They
long to conquer the world.
Their ancestors have been swallowed
up in tho whirlpool of competition, and
many fathers have become reconciled to
the lash and the blind of party and giv
en up the struggle. But these young
men will not give up without a fight.
-These young men may not now be
statesmen -heaven knows there are too
many of what the world calls "stLtco

hearts and manly aspirations ami op
portunities to pursue the right.
They may be hooted at by their ei
ders, but they were born in a fortunate,
ego, and will live to manage the affairs
of tho tuition long after their elders,
with oil their egotism and prejudice,
are under the sod.
The old men who have had their n-
litical eyes opened just at the physical
nge when nature stands waiting tn
close them again forever, have learned
by a life's experience, and we should
refpect them as teachers but upon .n
young men of to-day will fall the work
of practical reform.

existed but to this generation Is the
revelation of tho progress of all the
past ages and this or a future gen?ra
tion are the only hope of utilizing the
wisdom of the ages.
It U but natural that the great West
should ler.e; the reaction against iho
encroaching restraint of liberty which
drove humanity westward.
Hero the eye and the mind havo
looked upon an unbounded prospect.
Imitation of the Kast grows fainter aa
people scatter westward and away from
tho centers of custom and tradition;
bold strokes of nature assert themselves
as man is t'.'.rov.n upon his own resour
ces, and Isolation snows him the mean
ing of liberty and independence.
He forgtta the fashions and methods,
laid down in the books , and conditions
force practical ideas into his head.
Ho learns simplicity find directness.
Ho sees that the complications of "fi
nancial legislation" are composed prin
cipally of formulas to enable "finan
ciers" to squerzs a living out of labor
ers without toiling themselves.
The young nan growing up in th
West learns Nature's laws first they
are a part of his being and no peda
gogue In th? world can persuade him
to exchange real ideas for artificial
ones.
The young man of tho West poGsessc
as a birthright that healthy Indiffer
ence which tries things on their merits,
and accepts nothing until he sees what
kind of etuff there is in it.
Call him a savage if you will, but he
sees through your flimsy ceremonies,,
and scorns them.
He Is ti"d to no formr.lity.
Give h'.in only facts fairy stci!e
don't go.
The yoving men of tho mast ore sur
rounded by environments the justice of
which they will not Quest ton as long as
they are well-fnd, well-clothed and edu
cated in aristocratic schools--but the
poor anlong them are born with their
eyes open to the glaring injustice of the
situation and as they hear the hope
ful voice of the great West and South
proclaim tho comins day of "equal
rights to all and special privileges to
none", the courage of youth and fc.070
responds: "Hurrah! boys, we are com
tng."
