Government railroads and telegraphs," +"
say the political conventions of labor
parties. Public markets, workshops,
railways, stores, mills and mines" says
Mr.. Ward. He speaks boldly; the con-
ventions palter. His demand is COM
munism. Their demand is the cowardly
halfutterance of exactly the same pur-
pose So the question comes: If we are
to throw away individual capital and
individual selfdenial, from what other
source is to come the saving of capital to
support labor and multiply its earnings?
Or are we to rush back to barbarism
because not satisfied with what civiliza-
tion has yet done for u.s.

After AndersOn's admissions, yesterday,
that be testified falsely before the Senate COM
mittee for purpose, not a particle of Gre
dence can be given to his present testimony
except where it is sustained by unimpeachab!e
evidence. 1t is evident, further. that no reli-
ance whatever can be placed upon his test
mony as to the construction to be given to the
documentary matter; especially as he is quite
evidently acting upon the determination to
"get even" with the Administration for its
centemptuOus treatment of his claims His
flippant admissions of his perjurieS before the
Senate committee show that he has not the
slightest sense Of moral responsibility.
The Ten Miles Square," history of the
District of Columbia, published al bout the year
$50, shows that there were at that time six fire
engines in Washington and two in George
town. Now, with more than four times the
population We had then, We have only four fire
engines in Washington and one in George
town. To be sure the steamers now in use do
more and better work than the old hand
engines, but this Is offset by the fact that the
houses now are built higher, many of them
with mansard roofs, and that they are far
more valuable. Washington is behind the
smaller cities throughout the country in this
matter, and the numerical weakness of tile de-
partment may yet lead TO heavy loss. Congress
should, for protection Of the public property
here, make appropriation for at least two more
steamers and hook and ladder truck.

the supreme bench are not quite as good as

Temperance Wave at Plattevr1lt

Ediror Tribune: - Premit me
through your columns to address o
few words to your patrons as to the
present status of the temperance
movement in Platteyille.
Ten months ago the temperance
movement commenced here. 1t was
then branded by its enemies, as q
fanatical and short lived movement.
It was but the passing breeze of ex-
element whose effects would scarce
ly be discernible in the calm that
was sure to follow. Indeed calm
has followed, but it is the calm OF
the mighty river whose onward flow
to the vast ocean no obstacle can OBJ
struct. 1t is the calm of presidency
and determination. 1t is the calm
OF patience to wait as well as to do.
It must be patent to every re-
flecting and logical mind, that the
demon Intempe rance can not be dis
lodged and driven from his strong
hold by q single stroke. Years OF
continuous effort will be required.
Obstacles must be surmounted. Dill
culties must be overcome. Sacrifices
must be made. But be assured that
victory will finally perch upon the
banner Of temperance.
The temperance people OF Platte
vile are persistent in their efforts.
Every appliance that can be used
is being used for the suppression Of
the liquor traffic. Every Sunday
afternoon since the movement COM
menced, has o temperance meeting
been held under the auspices Of the
Ladies' Christian Temperance
Uniou." Every Wednesday evening
has temperance meeting been held
under the auspices of the Reform
Club at their rooms. And now, ar
rangements are being made to seat
the public square that meetings may
DO held there when the weather will
Admit of it. Can it BE- said that the
