Aftermath of the Fourth arnica and epllnts. _ Senator Allen will undoubtedly know better next time. The dummies In the council arc still danc ing to the tune of Wiley , Wiley ! Daniel was a wise man In his day and generation , but he did not pasture pigs with Hascall. The senate has at last done something. We shall soon learn whether or not It lm.i done the right thing at the right time. Give the cnlf rope enough and he will strangle himself while trying to reach the crib. That 1ms no application , of course , to Ike Wheeler and Dan Hascall. Three reports on the senate sugar scandal investigation will give the senators the de sired opportunity to choose that one which Is the least severe upon themsejvcs. Russia proposes to take a hand In the Japan-Korean controversy. If It were given the proper encouragement the Russian boar would probably end the matter by Itself , swallowing Korea. "Legalized lawlessness" Is the latest aphorism that has crept Into newspaper English In the last few days. "Legalized lawlessness" Is about as comprehensible as "sensible nonsense. " Prendorgast has again been sentenced to bo hanged , this tlmo on Friday , and the 10th of the month. If this Is not enough to hoodoo him It must bo confessed that he bears a charmed life. Compare the senate tariff bill with the pledges contained In the democratic plat form and see how the democratic party keeps Its word. As a tariff for revenue only the new measure Is unique. A very Indiscreet councilman made the re mark In the mayor's office yesterday that the Impeachment charges would never have been filed If Bcmls had signed that $17,000 war rant for Wiley. That councilman ought to take out a license as a. mind reader. The postmasters' brigade was out In full force In the Michigan democratic state con vention In splto of Postmaster General DIs- 8ell's express command for them to refrain from appearing as delegates. Postmasters In other states will probably disregard the order with the same Impunity. It Is remarkable how the school census enumerators of Lincoln have this year dis covered the 1,200 children of school ago which their predecessors lost In 1S93. As each of these foundlings gives an additional claim In the distribution of the school fund tUcro must be great rejoicing at the return of the prodigals. ta What a calamity them would be If the tr present strike should trpr Interfere with the po pr litical conventions that have been called to fr malta nominations In the different states. frA Just think of th delegates- being unable to ha use the passes kindly furnished them by the at railroad managers.

Such a contingency hipe would have been unusually Interesting , al be though there could be na question that Vlco Its President Stevenson would bare gladly berne Is the renponirOillHy and pruntlfo of casting the Issti ducIJIng vote. It has been a long tlmu stiwl tlnce the vice president lias been called nc upon to determine according to his constitu the tional right the fate of a really Important pe meisure that has been blocUed by a tie vote. peTt LOST Tha populist ( onators have lost an op portunity for building up their party which is not likely over to preient Itself again. TO every IntelilBont obnarver it must bo mani fest that the democratic party Is ore the verge of ! going to pieces. It has reached the pwltlon occupied by the whig party after It hml fttiBhl Us lust ttattto for the presi dency. Tha opportunity to push tha old wreck- over the pivclpico and gather up the fragments cumo with tlio struggle * over the Wilson Mill. Tha doCcat of that bill In the senate wtmlil have been the finishing stroke. There could have been no resurrection for a party str. demoralized and disorganized as would have been the dsurocracy after fnlluro to patch up ths tariff and repeal thu Mc- Kliiley lnw. It would have been4 a masterly stroke on the part off the populists to throw the democratic party and let It suffer the consequences of Its own Imbecility. Such a policy would naturally luivo met with favor within the r.ink and fllo of populists , as it would have placed It within their reach to Inherit the kingdom lost by the dominant party. Kvlchmtly this idea either did not occur to tha populist senators from Ne braska and South Dakota , or else they ex pect that the democracy wilt voluntarily nuilio an assignment of Its effects to the third party without a struggle. la tills they are destined to disillusion before they are twelve months older. Democracy , wrecked ami distracted as It Is. will not give up the ghost without another dcsparato struggle , backed , ns It will be. by the claim that It has fulfilled the pledge of tlio Chicago plat form to the best of Its ability and In splto of the Intervention of populists , rather than with their aid and co-operation. The perfidy of Iho democratic contingent In the sonnle In dealing with Senator Allen should have been an eye-opener , but oven that flagrant breach of faith does not seem to Imvc convinced the populist senators from Nebraska and South Dakota that they were throwing pearls before swine , to use a rather coarse metaphor. TIIK 1'llKSIDKXrS SALAlir TAXAULE. In rejecting the amendment adopted In the committee of the whole , exempting the salaries of the president nnd Judges of the federal courts from the operation of the proposed Income tax , the senate has taken the view that the constitutional prohibition against reducing those salaries does not extend - tend to the ordinary burdens of taxation. This 1st a complete reversal of the theory upon which the original amendment was adopted. The language of the federal con stitution is that "The president shall at stated times receive for his services a com pensation , which shall neither be Increased nor diminished during the period for which he shall have been elected. " The provision regarding the compensation of federal Judges Is Just as explicit with reference to the diminution of their salaries , but Is silent with reference to any increase that may seem advisable to congress. The point that wo have urged , particu larly with reference to the president's sal ary , is that if the constitutional prohibition extends to the Imposition of an Income tax , then the statutory exemption would be en tirely superfluous. On the other hand , if the compensation Is not exempted by virtue of the constitution , then the attempted stat utory exemption would be unconstitutional , because It would practically amount to an Increase of the same In direct violation of the constitutional provision. The senate then , In reversing its former decision , takes the only logical course , leaving the point of constitutional exemption of these salaries to bo raised , If raised at all , by-the parties In terested and before the regularly constituted lourts. , The Importance- the senate's decision w lies In the fact that It Is a decision by a aj disinterested bcdy of men , most of whom are sc well versed In constitutional law and perfectly - fectly competent to give an authoritative opinion on the subject. The action of con gress , while only a tentative determination , must have great weight for another serious reason. Should the- question come before the federal courts for adjudication the judges se will find themselves in the delicate position to of hearing a casa In which each of them is It directly Interested. They will bo really de- elding whether they themselves shall bo pr exempt from federal taxation. In such a be situation they will be prone to defer to the th judgment of the legislative- branch of the gc government , or , at any rate , will hesitate ag to take a view directly opposite to that of th congress. As a result of this peculiar aspect tonc of the case the Issue may never bo raised' nc before the courts and the determination of fo the senate may secure the force of a final tr decision of the question. an at \rnisKi' \ su'.i.mtr , . Pi' Pi'wl The Internal revenue schedule ot the new wl tariff bill promises to enrich the Whisky do trust to nn extent oven greater than the en profits which the Sugar trust hopes to reap thmi from Its differential duty on refined sugar. mi Against | the sugar schedule a fierce onslaught thwe ; has been made in the press and In the sen we , ate , which has opened the eyes ot the people th' ple to the enormity of the trust's demands ha : and : which has forced the scnato to > try to en : clear Its skirts of the mess of corruption by sa means ot a committee to Inquire Into the Im charges ot corruption made in connection CO : ivlth the matter. The Incrensod tax on dis COl : tilled spirits and the prolonged bonding to period , however , have been Incorporated Into poi the tariff bill with but little protest and so liilotly that the public has not had Us atten tion directed to the fact. Every changa proposed by the senate bill the existing Internal revenue tax Is In bo Interest of the Whisky trust and there tn several such changes. The tax on dls- dc tllU-d spirits Is raised from 00 cents a gal ills to J1.10 a gallon an Increase of 20 cents. as rhls Increase Is , of course , to bo tacked on , ) r the price at which the product is sold , so til' ; that In no case will It bear upon tha trust. cu the same time , all the whisky now in hi ! bond and all that can bo produced between ha this time and the tlmo when the new law gr sees into effect can be brought through at qu existing rate of taxation and sold at P ° advance of 20 cents. The gain from this bo operation has bean estimated as high as po fS.000,000 and must certainly mount Into tin millions. Then thera Is an allowance to leakage under tha now bill that is not tin made by the existing law , by which the tax tin to bo paid In tin * future'upon the quantity ele taken out of bond Instwid of upon the quan 1 put Into bond. The saving llgureu up a me considerable amount In fact makes the now bci really less burdensome to tha distiller US ! than the old , and less productive of revenue tin the government , although imposed at a otl higher rate. The- extension of the bonded of period to eight years likewise Inures to the poi benefit of the trust by giving It tlio use of to money until the lime when tbo whisky pCI ready for tha consumer. The government lot stores the whisky three years longer , for 1 which , deducting leakage. It gets only a ind nominal murn. If any return at all , while utl owuer la divested ol all care or ox- thi ense on account of it during that time , this U a privilege for which he would pay ho tlio government llbarall ? It It could ba ob tained In no otlicr war , but thla bill glrei U tn him Tor the asking. These advantages are already being quietly turned to account by'nlt street manipula tors , who hope to share In the profits of a rise In Whisky trust stock. They fear to do anything that wilt arouse tha public , nnd' therefore the stock has , been hchl In reserve. According to a Wall street authority. Its friends say that It Is not desired that thera Hlmll he any advance for sonic time to come nml that as soon as tariff matters- have been settled the stock will bo ready for an old- frtshloned , rise ? . The same authority states that the fcennto In Its tariff schedules has done for the trust moro Ulan Wall street anticipated. It has been conclusively proved that what the senate did for the Sugar trust was In return fora consideration-pahl In advance vanceLi It reasonable to believe that the whisky men have bten able to get their huge concessions by any less devious method ? If the Sugar trust had to pay for Its favors , why not also the Whisky trust ? The discrimination In favor of the one is no less a scandal than that In favor of the other. 1UB SnA'ATK TAHIFV UILL. The thorough discipline of the senate dem ocrats was shown In the final vote on the tariff bill , which for three months had been under consideration in that body. Every democrat except Senator Hill gave his sup port to this remarkable measure. The New York senator , having the courage of his convictions , cast hla vote against the bill , proclaiming to the last his protest against tlie income tax proposition and characterizing the bill as a "botched compromise measure , " acceptable to no one , and which surrenders or barters away democratic principles. Never before In our history has the platform" declaration of a party been so completely stultified by representatives of the party In congress as has been done by the democrats of the senateIn this tariff bill. Never be fore has a revenue measure been passed by either branch of congress which contained so many Inconsistencies , contradictions and absurdities as this one. Novcr before has a tar iff bill gene through the. house or the senate with such scandal hanging about It as this measure ' carries. What shall the bill be called which Is part protection , part free trade ; which takes care of the most exact ing monopoly In the. country , the Sugar trust , while It proposes to strike down the wool Industry that employs hundreds of millions of capital and a vast army of labor ; which opens the American market to the agricultural producers of Canada and asks nothing In return for this great boon to the competitors of American farmers ; and which , to gratify the spirit of sectionalism , Imposes an income tax , nearly all of which will bo collected from the people of the north ? Surely no such monstrosity In the form of revenue legislation has ever before been at tempted In this country. It cannot fairly be called a compromise , for that term carries the idea of an equitable arrangement , and no one will pretend that any principle of equity has been observed in the framing of this measure. The question now is , what will the house do with it ? There have been numerous ex- diPI s prcsslons of opposition to some features of PItl ° the bill , and particularly to the sugar schedule - ule ! , from democratic representatives. It is c reported that Chairman. Wilson of the ways . reai and means committee will antagonize the aisi sugar schedule as It now stands and that ho siw will have many of the house democrats with him. It Is also said that the house will de mand that coal and iron.ore be put on the free list , and a prominent member of the ways and means committee Is quoted as giv ing the opinion that the democratic senators will be willing to trade oft coal and iron ore and other things In behalf of the sugar schedule , so that It may turn out that the Sugar trust will got what it wants and that " some of the industries , like coal and iron ! ? ore , will be sacrificed for the benefit of the monopoly. There Is not much doubt that some concessions will have to be made to the house on. the bill as It has passed the senate , but the feeling that it is necessary get through some bill and the desire that S shall pass as early as possible makes It v probable that the house will show less back feat bone In opposing the senate amendments atb than would have been the case bad the bill It gone back to the house a month or more ol ft ago. Democrats who want to get among their constituents as soon as possible in order look after their political interests will not be disposed to make a prolonged fight ni -concessions. . The deslro of the administration oltti tti tration is also to bo taken Into account as ttias important Influence , and It is the understanding e sa standing that Mr. Cleveland has been dls th pleased ' with the delay In the senate and th ivlalics the bill passed with as little further Ikgc lolay as possible. That the "president Is not si su entirely satisfied with the senate measure there is good reason to believe , but In com mon with his party ho feels the necessity for ho passage of. some sort of a tariff bill and oh vould doubtless accept the one passed by in lie .he ' senate rather than run the risk of not po mving any tariff bill passed by this demo- CO fri ratlc congress. It Is undoubtedly entirely pe safe ! to say that with a few minor and un- be po mportant changes the senate bill will be- ut oino I law , so that the industries of the eu ce ountry can make no mistake In preparing tope ; adjust themselves to the conditions im- pom losed by that measure. th ; 1111 tir : I'EIllKll'S PATRIOTISM , pa > ru Caslmlr-Perler , president of France , Is SC justifying the opinion that he ls a man of tw Jec joth courage and patriotism. His conduct Isl connection with the funeral of his pre- thi ati lecosjor was evidence ot the manliness ot : character as well as of hla proverbial istutenoss | as a. politician.

Dut Perler felt called upon tin attend the funeral. Ho was the friend of murdered president and desired to show me th ! last homage of friendship. Although In InAn ilevatsd to the proildoncy , ho still owed as An citizen of Franco an obligation to the tin se\ nomory of the distinguished man who had sewti icon stricken down by the dagger of the OOC issassln , and ho was not to bo deterred from mo fullflllnient of this obligation by any f * ither demands of duty or any consideration nd possible danger. Moreover , It was an opt OXf lortunlty to more strongly command lilmsult bee > the the rasped and confidence ot the French Ing Kjople , and It would have been a mistake luc to Improve it. nd President Perler'i message to the Senate hey ' FIJ the Chamber of Deputies la a patriotic by ittoranco which will reassure all friends of the republic at home and abroad.

Ho had a worthy ambition to become president of the j republic. Ho has attained that and ho an nounces to his countrymen that he wilt bo content with the one expression of their confidence. The new president ot Franco probably has a more trying and perplexing task before bun than now appears. There Is evidence of an undercurrent ot political and social nnrest and discontent which may become troublesome In the not far future. Dut there seems- every reason to bellevo that President Perler will be found equal to every demand upon him and that , so far as courage and patriotism are concarned , the republic could not have a safer head. The appointment by the senate of a con ference committee on the tariff bill before the amended bill had reached the house Is a most extraordinary departure from par liamentary usage. Such a thing as appoint ing a conference committee before the other house has had a chance to concur or dissent Is without precedent In legislation either In this or any other country. The senate bill passed after the house had been adjourned from Tuesday to Thursday. The house could not concur or refuse to concur In the senate amendments to the Wilson bill until It had an opportunity to hear them read. In alt legislative bodies the motion to appoint a committee of conference Is only entertained after the house has voted to disagree to amendments ottered by the other houso. How any legislative body could assume In advance that the co-ordinate house would reject Its amendments to a bill is Inexpllc- able on any theory that can bo advanced. With the same propriety either or both housoa of congress could put a bill on Us passage over an expected veto before the bill had been presented to the president for his approval. The contest over the election of a sue- cessor to President Caslmlr-Perlor today , who has been promoted from the position of president of the Chamber of Deputies , will be considerably more animated than that over the election of the French presi- dent last week The presiding officer in the Deputies has ajn lnmiense Influence over the conduct of leglsfatlon. In that body , and stands second only to the premier himself. It ( Is a position greatly coveted by ambitious Frenchmen , and ! moreover the great number of ' political parties'represented { In the lower house ' of the French legislature makes pos sible a host of Jpomblnatlons. The president of the Chambetf ofjJJeputles Is generally of the same party as the ministry , simply be cause both require the same majority to keep them In flo'tier1. On this account the ministry may be expected to hove the decisive . cisive word In Oiling the position. Never Too Lnto lo Do Good. .

There are men more brilliant , moro eloquent. more i conspicuous In the public eye , but re publicans i turn to MacColl with a confidence that t he strikes the calm level ot business , social and political Integrity , and that ho will have no considerations except the In terests of the state If chosen for the gov ernorship. Wahoo Wasp : There ought to bo this thought uppermost In the minds of every delegate to the state convention : The candi dates nominated should bo men of good standing among the whole people , men whose character and official record will need no defense and whose integrity cannot bo questioned. If these rules are strictly ad hered to in all the nominations It will relieve - lieve 1 the press of the party and those who 1t go forth to labor for the ticket of much hard work , and perhaps unsuccessful bicker ing , to meet the statements , slanderous or J1o otherwise , which come up in every cam paign. This Is not the year when repub licans 1 wish to be on the defensive , but on the aggressive side of every movement. Re publican principles defend themselves this year. Let us have candidates of the same quality and the victory shall be ours by the largest majority In the history of the state.

Oakland cele brated the great national holiday much the same as hundreds of other towns through out the land. There was a largo crowd In attendance. Judge Ambrose of Omaha de livered the principal address , which was highly appreciated. Following Is In part his address : On the morning after the assassination of 1'resldent Lincoln. April II , IMG , James A. Oarllcld WIIH In the city of New \ork and WUM awakened by the news of the terrible deed of the night. He wandered out upon the streeta. Hills were early posted for a meeting In Wall nit eel at 3 o'clock. Kitty thousand men were In the sttcets. It was not a holiday , tint busi ness wa suspended. Th wnr-heatcd blood of that city was frozen with horror and the people were waiting for more news. The musa w.is crazed , tuilmlent , ready for any deed of violence. All at once , as If by muglc. the cry went np , "Thuorld. . " Anarchy , demniellon of life nnd property was In that word. The mob meant punish ment for the nntl-unlon sentiment of that ereut dally newsiwipur. Garlleld appeared upon a balcony. Tlie great suothlng mass recognized his commanding form and waited for an announcement of news. His clarion voice wiia hwnil f.ir and wide as ho said : "Clouds , mid datkness nivund about him ! Ills pavilion In dnilc waters and thick clouds his sklea ! Justice nnd Judgment are the establishment of his thruiifl Merey and truth should go before his fncel God reigns and the government at Washington still lives. " Thu almost agonized crowd was first startled and then H tilled .at his words. The unrest and vengeful spirits of the people were quieted. New York city was saved. The patriotic blood not onlv of Wall street , but of the whole country waa stirred. New lines of thought stnited and the whole people took up anew the struggle to piesorve the heart h stones of the common patriotic fireside. Sa today I quote the words : "God reigns and the government at Wash ington still lives , " but 1 supplement the expression with the question , not for how long , but what shall we do to- preserve that government ? "The woild will little note nor long remember" what we do here today I , but nevertheless my duty Is done , If I can be the means of Impressing some thought Into some mind' from which may be evolved in some measure an answer to the question , and I shall have done much to aid in the formation of a better , higher and holler citizenship than now exists. The elder Adauls when ho laid down , at the time of the adoption of the Declara tion of Independence , the mode and manner of the celebration of this day , by the firing of guns tind the tinging of bells , little thought of what would be the growth of this country duilng the 125 years next following that memorable event ; but he , ns well ns all the founders ot the govern ment , were men of thought , as well as action ; and 'with the thought that pyrotechnics nnd glad songs of praise would for all time acclaim this day , they kenw that with the rejoicing would come Ihoughts , deep and earnest , of what steps were necessary , If any , to be taken to preserve what they had so dearly pur chased for our Inheritance. If the ciops fall one year they always come with In creasing bounteousness the next. Not so with governmental affairs. If this free and God-venerating government falls from any cause the like will never return to the people of this earth. No merchant or other business can long be sustained unless at stated periods It Is looked over * and an Inventory taken * to see where have been the mistakes of the year past. So for the whole mass and body of the people It is not only fitting but necessaVy that they should get together nnd take an account of patriotism. For that purpose we are here today. ANARCHISM AND CAPITALISM.C Prior to 1SCO the conditions which now thi eaten us as a people did not exist. During the war the Hood gates of Im migration were wide open , the paupers and criminal classes of Kurope were wel comed , provided they enllaled. They came In droves. Prison doors In this countiy were opened. Thus this clement was spewed out upon the land the only condi tion being that they Join the army of the north. They did this , attracted by the large bounty. None of them made good soldiers such is the history of war but they became deserters , going to other parts of the country and re-enllstlng for another bounty. They not only did not I make good soldiers , but they never made good citizens. Out of that class has grown our anarchists and communists , and today the spirit of this class of people Is rampant In the land. Only a few days since a professor of a college In a sister state had the audacity to deliver an address to the young men of our state university , by means of which he sought to Inculcate In their minds the Ideas of communism. He calls himself a collectlvlst that Is , he be lieves that all property should be owned collectively. The world may perhaps be brought to this Idea , but never until nil men and women have the grace of ungcls and the energy of the devil. These com mune hordes teaching these doctrines are always looking for a soft Job and big nay. They would be the last ones to do an equal amount of work and receive the equal pay of the collective mass. Such men are not good American citizens. Another condition which now exists did not exist prior to 1SCO : The necessities of the Government and the consequent specu to lation laid the foundation for the great fortunes which now dominate and control the financial affairs of the country. The power which great wealth gives rules and In controls all avenues of trade , of fieight and passenger rates , controls the law-making power of the country , tind rules In fact the whole land. \nd this avarice tor great wealth has made possible and In a large degree brought ibout the terrible Industrial condition In which we are today. You men up here , lu four peaceful homes , and amid your quiet . ivocatlons , do not realize these conditions so much of their dire effects ns do hose who live In the great cities , who : jvery day are brought In direct conlllct : vlth not only the conditions brought upon n by the greed of criminally acquired vealth , hut also the conditions brought upon by the unrestricted Importation of the > f aupcr nnd criminal class of Europe. Jteat corporations and mining Interests uro he ones who cause these criminal and mupcr Immigrations. MUST BE UP AND DOING.

Men tro the score , hundreds and thousands , are poi all earnestness repeating the Lord's cor rayer , "Give us this day our dally bread. " the iod has not deserted his people.

A aper published In the metropolis of this tiite , which pretends to represent the labor iteresU of that city , announced editorially following monstrous doctrine ; "The mjorlty of worklngmcn will not become lucnted to any principle broader than the jles of every man for himself , nnd under resent Institutions the only avocation In hlch : a iimn'H economic Intercuts do not inflict , la that of the trump : hence thu ecesslty for universal poverty.

In thus that ho contributes from out of ! great store to political xuccesn. How must the American people endure this of thing ? How long will they permit men who represent them to nit check Jowl with the agents of avowed and un- ushlng corruption ? When will there bu a awakening of that stern , moral HCIIHO banishes from public honor and public for all time to come , the men upon hose Integrity even the breath of HUU- clon blown ?

Such mi Idea Is a grave mistake. If any such constitutional right existed It would ho within the power of u dlssatls- Hod political party to obstruct , at their pleasure. the IcKlslatlon of congress , by Its members appearing In reat numbers for the purpose under the pretense of exercis ing their constitutional right to petition. And the result would be such civic demon- Htratlons that the % > ry foundations of the Ruvcrnment would become subverted aim worse than the eli.ios of the French revolu tion In 1J3 would exist In this country. These principle ? are sustained by the high est constitutional authority. The times are- hard , but that It no cxcusa for crime. The severest test of manhood Is never found In good times. It Is not the man who has success when others are doing , but It Is the mnu who Keeps up his courage and strug- Klcs when everybody else Is wavering or going down who Is the hero In the night of < ? od and man. We should have courage. Do not be afinld to speak. I demand In the highest Interest of good cltzi ! > n hlp that corporate power and greed shall be eon- trolled and regulated by law. I demand of Uie Ncbiaskii legislature that the power of forming every private enterprise li\to a corporate existence so that the Incorponi- tor. shall escape personal liability from the debts Incurred In their attempt to rob pri vate citizens shall be taken away and the power to Incorporate limited to those busi ness enterprises which are formed In the Interest of the public and have the right of eminent domain. I demand that It shall bo rendcied Impossible for any man to trans mit to his heirs moro than a limited sum of money , say $3.000,000. Such a sum Is mtlll- clent to stimulate any man In the acquisi tion of wealth. The man of llfty ycara ago waa n Croesus who was possessed of S100.000. Now $20.000,000 and JIOO.000,000 la possible never earned , but acquired , out of the honest earnings of others. Wn have always supposed that the law of primogeniture geniture does not exist In this country , but It does , based not upon a long line of heri tage , and blood of the blue order , but upon dollars. Homier It Impossible for any man to transmit more than a certain sum , and If he dies possessed of more , provide that It shall go to the state for the use of great public charities and the common schools. I demand that when a laborer li working under contract for certain llxed wages. If a. lesser amount by the employer Is demanded , before the employer shall discharge be ft * cause the employe shall refuse to recelvo such wages , or before the employe shall n cease his work go upon strike as a mem ber of an organized body a petition shall bo addressed to the courts setting forth all the facts and be given a speedy hearIng - / Ing , and the matter nettled and adjusted on equitable principles , recognizing nt all times the right of the employer to dis charge and the employe to quit Ids labor. Some such a system would do away with strikes. No agitator , or walkjng bossci would then be necessary. LET REFORM BEGIN AT HOME. It Is possible for this state to bo the first to Inaugurate some such reforms na these. All of them It In possible for the state to control. Do not let us wait for reforms to begin elsewhere The templa of perfection has not yet been erected , but It Is In the design of the universe. It never will be erected anywhere than at home. It Is not afar off , It Is possible for you to erect and maintain such a temple In the right doing and thinking of every day. There Is none too high or too low but that some good may be accomplished. If you or t have gone wrong In our thought or action for the common good , let us re trace our steps. It will save others from the same error.1) . . The light may never come which will enable us to see what Is the right thing to be done and the right way to do It , but for one I am wuttlnir for the light , and I am anxious to see It , and I am anxious for It to break In upon the countenances of others. The way wilt be pointed out. The light will come. This government will not fall for the people and by the people. In the present you and must act not In selfishness , but In tha spirit of the greatest good for the great est number. Thought upon these lines wilt enable the light to come Into the minds and hearts of men , whereby the evils which now beset us may bo cleared uway and ths future bo lighted up by our combined effort and wisdom , so that these who now surfer and are oppressed shall be made glad with Joy and bo enabled to thank God that they live In a free , Independent and enlightened century. COMMON PEOPLE THE FOUNTAIN HEAD. Ever since the days of the lowly Naza- rlne every movement originating superior lines of thought has came from the com mon people. The student of history may trace this great fact through tha day lending up to , and In which was accom plished the great reformation and the adop tion of the Magna Charta , down to th abolition of slavery In this country. Tha common people have originated and carried successful completion ull great move ments looking to the betterment of man kind. Hcllglous , civil and economic llb- prty have each ami all been brought about consequence of the dealrea and heart Imrnlngs of the fathers and mothers of Europe and America expressed each to the jther at the family firesides , and as each thought has been uttered It wan laden ivlth prayer to Almighty God for his blesg- ng. So today In the tnldBt of thla great mlustrlal depression , the same * great thoughts which are tending to the down- .hrow of olllclal and economic corruption ind the consequent uplifting of mankind , ire from the hearts and minds of the ommon people. The leaven Is working In ho whole lump. Corruption sltH unpunished our publla places. It has for years , not inly In the legislative halls of the nation.
