Any one who considers the state of
Europe must see that the war is immi-
nent, and that the chances of England
| being drawn in are great. Why else
| does every nation keep a standing army
millions strong, eating out the vitals Of
the.tax- payers? When war comes the
Irish will be prepared for it, and then
the torch will be lit that will cover Eng
! land with pail of smoke-St Louis In

America is broad There is room for
one hundred yea two hundred mill
! ions-of tie worlds oyercrowded mill
ions but they must come wher they
get ready-not crowded in-in the in
terests Of selfish, grasping capital to ell
able it to pile up wealth by cr6wding
down wages. America is for free men,
for all who desire to come of their own

In all cities, organization is being
made among laborers in all the leading
branches of trade, and it is right; and
therefore good comes of it. Here in
| Dayton the situation is peculiarly favor
able. A number Of labor unions ase
quietly but aggressively at work. The
| Trades Assembly, the recognized need Of
all, is a power; for both of the great po-
| parties placed prominent members of
! the society in nomination for office at
the spring election and some were cho-
| sen. And these men, conspicuous in
| labor interests active in the agitation
Of questions aifertiug the wurkingmen,
| true to the solemn obligations to Their
! fellows, frue to the interests of the city,
the working classes and the manutac-
turerS, will be found battling for the
right.-llayton Gazette.
Every intelligent observer of events
cannot fail to see that signs Of disturb
ance in the political situation are'muItI-
plying among the people with increus-
| ing rapidity. The public mind grows
more and more sensitive to this unset
| tied condition Of affairs brought on lV
mismanagement in the hands of unSrru-
pulOus men; hence politicians are lat sea,
parties we're never more disOrdere4, and
never in Dur history was there a deeper
anxiety tpuChing political developments
Of the future. Politics to the npOHIe has
become to mean really what it i$-tbe
science Of food and raimtnt To the
| honest public man the question lis one
of serious study. TO party leaders it re-
mains a problem Of serious pCrpieNity,
and in order to secure faithful and e--
fcient officials We must have leaders
who are beyond question as to the hoE-
esty Of the motives which prompt them
in taking the active steps they do in any
measure. Cleveland MESSENGER
