the embitterroent of laborers woo epeas

In order to remove the existing tragedy
. - .it tl.. AamnrmtM hold with
Carl Marx that the preeenteeoaratlon of
the laborer from the materia on wuien

mail cloee. In other words, society ie
not to conelet o! capitalists ana jaoor
m. hnt ninnlv one class, namely, labor
ere! To bring this about Marx taught
that private capital muse oe aooiwnea.
Capital Is of course dietinguisbed from
wealth, capital being simply all means
Infested for the sake of getting more
meant. All individual or private
capital Is ts be made social, owned by
the community., by the society, or the
state. That is, the eon ana tne oonwou
ni thaAArth. the Industrial plants, ana
the tools of labor shall belong to the so
m. n, the state. Each man is to work
for the state and from the state receive
'ivTcannot enter on details or discuss
the merits ol this scheme. Boeiai aomo
orats are not agreed among themsel ves
how the land and the Industries shall
come Into the possession of the state
and be managed by society. 1 1 Is clear
that the revolution contemplated Is not
only Industrial but mast affect all the
factors in the social organism.
Bo generally Is individualism now re
cognized as a failure that no enlightened
land, England and the United States
Included, hesitates to pass laws affecting
the industries. Both in England and
the United States laws abound respect
ing commerce the relation of capital and
labor, the combinations among capital
ists and among laborers, and the pro
tection of workers, particularly of
women and children. The wage-earners
usually constitute from sixty to eighty
per cent of the population; and where
they use the ballot they need but to
unite to gala every political victory,
Great as the difficulties to be over
come may be, there can be no question
that what Is reoognised aa practicolly
the most equitable social condition will
eventually be established either by a
peaceable or by a bloody revolution.
The friends of law and order and prog
ress bold that If revolution is necessary
it ought to come by means of evolution.
Not a lew fear that our culture Itself
may be endangered by hasty experiment
with impracticable theories.
The problems of municipal ownership
lie within the sphere of socialism, though
the ownership need not go to the extent
demanded by the social democrats.
What is called "state socialism" has
"been extensively Introduced Into Europe.
Bismarck had laws enacted to suppress
the social democracy, but he said that
he gloried In being a state socialist.
-State socialism stands for the theory
that the state has a direct interest in
the industries on which its own support
depends; that it Is concerned for all that
oertaiua to the welfare of Its cltinens,
the Industries Included; that no private
uonopoly shall be tolerated which is
detrimental to tbe state iteelf or to its
inhabitants; and that the weak mast be
protected against the cupidity and bru
tality of the strong. The grandest
achievement of this species of state so
cialism consists In the elaborate insur
ance of laborers In Germany.
In free countries the state has .ceased
to be an obstruction hovering threaten
ingly over the people. Sovereignity re
sides In th people and they ate virtually
the state. Where this is the oune it is a
mark of fatuity for the people to permit
the Interests of the people to be eubjoct
to private aggrandisement. The people
who vote away their privileges for Indi
vidual exploitation denerve to be ex
ploitedand they usually reap as they
sow.
The relation of a state or municipality
to the Interests immediately oencerning
the public is clear. Whatever pertain
to the publio must be managed by the
publlo In the interest of the publio. It is
no loss axiomatic that what is public
must be under publio managoment than
that what is private mutt be left to pri
vate management. The only problem is
bow undor public management the in
terests of the publio caa be bt secured.
Throe ways ars possible. Whatovr per
tains t the publio Interest must be un
der publio supervision, or nudor public
control, or It mnt be owned by the pub
lic. When MesNachustitte says that a
railroad shall not pay over eight per
eat dividend, it claims the rijibt to such
R supervision ol the road a not to per
nut the travelling public to be fl-weed.
When the sums state ei amines all la

Cambridge, Mass., April 11, 1800.
flAMUSBUBO, Ta., April 20. The
seventy-ninth ballot, the last to be
taken for a United States Senator at
ths present session of the Legislature,
was taken to-day, and resulted: Quay,
03; Jenks, 85; Jones, 60. Necessary to
choice, 124. The anti-Quay men bad
hoped to draw enough votes from
Quay to defeat hlrn by putting for
ward B. F. Jones of ths firm of Jones
& Laughlln as a candidate. Jones was
chairman of the' national Republican
committee in 1884, and had been a
friend of Quay.
A letter from the ex-senator that
any of bis friends who should desert
him now might as well go oo the wit
ness stand against him bsld the reg
ular Eepublioans in line, and the sev
enteen men of the Pittsburg delega
tion who deserted bim yesterday were
the only bolters to join the Jones men
to-day.
The result of the legislature's action
is a defeat for Quay, as he failed of re
election to the United States Sonata.
At the same time be has shown him
self the dictator of his party in the state
still, as he has prevented the election
of a successor, Pennsylvania will be
represented in the next Senate only
by Senator Penrose, Quay's friend.
The legislature, by joint resolution
sarly In the session, voted to adjourn
at noon to-morrow. As no ballot can
be taken till noon, there will be a"
further voting for Senator.
THE INSURGENTS' HOPE.
Otis Seye tbe Babsl Are Belying en the
Departure of the Tolentserr.
WlsmaoTOM, April iO, The follow
ing cable has Just been received from
General Otis:
"Manila, April 20.Adjutant Gen
eral, Washington: Lawton returned
from Lake country on the 17th inst,
bringing oaptured vessela Insurgents
much scattered; retreat before our
forces and await opportunity to at
tack detachments.
'Better elass of people tired of war
and desire peace. Enemy build hope
on the return of our volunteers to the
United States. Its army is much de
moralised and loss by dssertions and
death larga Will probably prosecute
guerrilla warfare, looting and burn
ing the eountry which it occupied.
"Health and spirits of troops good.
Volunteers' return will eommanoe
about May B. Will render willing serf
vice until return transports are avail
able. Embarkation will continue
through June and July.
"Beporta from Vlsayan islands con
tinue very eaoonraglng. Inter-Island
commeroe heavy; oustoms reoeipts in
creasing. Otis."
Losdon, April sa Tbe Filipino Eu
ropean Junta olalms to have received
cablegram from General Luna,
"commanding the Manila district,"
direct from Manila Friday, declaring
that General Lawton, "whose objeot
was to proceed to Baler
and effect a junction with
the Yorktown," was inveigled
by the Filipino tactics into "peril
ously extending his line, with the re
sult that a column, consisting of ten
officers and men, on reaching a place
called IHnangonam, was ambushed by
a large Filipino force, communication
with the main force was severed and
the entire column was captured."
The Filipino advices further assert
that General Lawton, who was at La
guna da Bay, on hearing the news "re
tired to Manila, stating thai he had
besa recalled by Major Uenoral Otis
upon the ground that a native rising
in Manila was imminent
The foregoing is ssld by ths junta to
be a separate affair from the disap
pearance of the boat's erewof the
Yorktown ia the vicinity of Baler.
The Filipinos also claim tbs't they
have occupied the town of temboan-
g a, la the southern part of the island
of Mindanao, whloh was recently
evaeaatea by the ppealaiue, only a

TELLS OF HIS EXPERIENCE,
Mavila, April 80. Admiral Dewej
has been notified of the strange dis
appearance of J, C Gilmore and four
teen members of the crew of the
United States gunboat Yorktown. On
Saturday the Yorktown anchored off
Baler on the east coast of the island
of Luzon, about 200 miles from here,
where there was a Spanish garrison
of about fifty men, which hod been de
fending itself against several hundred
Filipinos for months past.
.Lieutenant Gilmore, Ensign W, II
Standley and a boat's crew were sent
up the river from llalor bay to com
municate with the Spaniards, the town
of Balor being situated some distance
inland. Ensign Standley, Who landed
at the mouth of tbto river, reports that
he heard three volleys, a bugle call
and cheers from up the river, but that
the automatic gun, which was part of
ths squlpmont of ths boat, was not
hoard firing. Standley later paddled
to the Yorktown in a canoe. :
A search was made for the York
town's boat and her crew, but no
trace of them was found and the York
town sailed for Hollo, from where her
commander cabled to Admiral Dewey
his theory that the Filipinos had cap
tured or sunk the boat or that the
Spaniards had rescued tbe American
party.. ,
WASHiiroTOjf, April 20. The oiflafsls
of the nary department are confident 1
that such of the men of the Yorktown
as escaped being killed outright in the '
first ambuscade will be well treated .
by tbe insurgents. Some time ago the
war department made inquiry as to
the number of Anierlcan prisoners held
by the Filipinos. In reply General
Otis referred to these soldiers and said
that they were fairly treated by the
Insurgents, he supplying fuuds to de
fray the cost of their food. The re
ports made to the navy department
by Paymaster Wilcox of Dewey's ofll
ceri.who made a trip across tbe island
of Luzonfrom Manila to tbe, north
coast, described the condition of the
Spanish officials who were tbe prison
srs of the insurgents as very comfort
able. Io many cases, he said, the officials
were only nominally in confinement,
being allowed the liberty of the
towns. The officials are hopeful that
Gilmore and his men will survive the
ambuscade and will some day regain
their liberty.
The department has sent no instruc
tions to Admiral Dewey as to the course
he shall pursue, believing that ha is
fully competent to deal with the situ
ation, and resting secure in the assur
anoo that he will spare no efforts to
rescue Gilmore and his men if the
are alive.

Davaka, April 20. Now that tbe
Cuban army ie on the point of melting
away ana the political agitations have
been effectively quieted, little re
mains to check a rapidly growing
aensd of public tranquility throughout
tbe island, In the last ten days much
has been made of certain clashes be
tween the police and the American sol
dlery here and of various reported
outbreaks of brigandage in this and
other provinces, but these disturb
ances are purely of minor and acci
dental importance. Two American
soldiers have been killed ia the riot
ing which has taken place in Vedado
and other suburbs where United
States troops are quartered, It has
uniformly been found, however, that
in case where American soldiers
I have bad conflict with the police the
soldiers have boon clearly 0 blame.
There have been hundreds of in
stances in Havana in which drunken
soldiers have resisted arrest and com
mitted all sorts of offenses against tbe
municipal law, and such conduot has
been aggravated by the common feel
Ing among the troops that tho local
guardians of the peace bad sot the
courage to use their arms against
American offenders. '
As to the recent alleged appearance
of brigands in this province, the mili
tary authorities remain more or less
skeptical In an open country like
that around Havana profeeslonal bri
gandage is Impossible One regiment
of American cavalry could stamp it
out In a week. In Santiago province
the home of professional banditti for
generations, the wild and inaccessible
character of the back country lends
itself to all forms of lawlessness. '
At Ilolguin, two weeks ago, there
was a serious outbreak of brigandage,
but, under General Wood's skillful
management disorder was suppressed
in seventy-two hours by putting a few
American officers at the bead of the
rural guard. The band of robbers
was quickly brought to bay and eight
bandits were killed and forty cap
tured. The rest came to Santiago and
asked to be put in jail, offering at tbe
same time to turn state's evidence
against one another. No Cuban bri
gand cares to carry on his business in
the teeth of a well organized rural
guard.
It is thought that a further consol
idation of departments will be made
in Ae eastern end of tbe island, Puer
to Principe being joined with San
tiago, under Genoral Wood.
POISON IN A GIRL'S LUNCHEON
"A Woman I Illsok" laspeeted of Trlng
to Harder s Cbloag oan't Daughter.
Chicago, April SO. Ida Peters, the
19-year-old daughter of William
Peters, a wealthy North side coal mer
chant, is furnishing the police with a
new mystery. Some one attempted to
murder her by placing poison in the
milk whloh she drank for her lunch
eon. Interest was added to the case
when It was learned that Miss Peters
is a niece of John Shoepfie, the florist,
against whom Henry Romann, a pris
oner at tbe police station, is alleged
to hava planned murder.
The young woman says she was
alone in her father's coal office when
an old woman In black entered and
asked permission to wash her hands.
Bhe waa granted it Tho lavatory is
behind a screen, and close to it and
hidden from view Is a shelf on which
Miss Peters kept her lunoh, including
a jar of milk. An hour later she
started to eat her lunch. After drink
ing a glass of milk she noticed the
taste was peculiar. Almost imme
diately she became violently ill. rihe
waa taksn home and a doctor sum
moned. He says the girl will re
cover,
Tho physUlaa has notified the police
that an analysts of the milk revealed
that lleontalnsd carbolic add.
1Mb the young woman and her par
aata believe that the effort to take her
life waa planned by the aged woman
who eatered the ottlee shortly before
the girl drank the milk.
