The ENQUIRER publishes the speech Of
DR.. De La Matyr, and goes to press at 10
o'clock on the morning following its de-
livery. But, then, johnson (he's my
composing force) and 1 don't mind a
little hard work IN good cause. 1t
might be in order to mention that this
is the only paper in Colorado that has
the space nerve-to print such
truthful and fearless sentiments. Can
you afford to let this one friend suspend
for lack of few dollars? think not.

A Londen dispatch reports of another
startling seizure of revolutionary literature
from st. Petersburg. The police have just
seized a large quantity of pamphlets entitled
"Penal Servitude and Tortures-The Dead to
the living" The book describes ir vivid Ian
guage the sufferings of political prisoners in
Siberia and elsewhere, under which, it says,
many innocent victims have died, leaving
secret records of their tortures, which are
now collected and published to point out to
the living the duty of vengeance. turges a
general rising for the purpose, first, of res
cuing the prisoners, and then of organizing
an armed and open revolution.

any expense for halls and advertising,
and no constitution or bylaws or other
ormality is at all necessary. The time
usually spent in society meetings in what
is called regular business" is entirely
saved. AS the meetings are quite in
formal, and probably held near the home
of each member, there will be no lhcon-
venience in attending them. Another
advantage is--and this is an advantage
the tbelongs only to very small associa-
tions-namely, that as each club will
probably be composed of persons of
about the same class and habits and
quite familiar with each other, there will
be no timidity about the expression of
individual opinion; instead of half a
dozen takers and fifty listeners, every
one will be a talker and every one a
listener, and of course all will be thereby
more interested and become more intel
ligent, and a real friendship will be
likely to spring up between them. The
reciprocity of thought will produce that
effect. Another important advantage is,
that there will be little likelihood of any
one member assuming such authority as
to become 'boss," a selfconstituted in
carnation of the society, making /. in its
name all sorts of arrangements, bargains
and compromises. Nearly all the pres
ent political associations are pestered
and damaged by such ambitious or un-
principled individuals, and it is an evil of
the first magnitude.
Each man is member of one group
which is under the chairmanship of it's
organizer. He is simple member here
but if he desires himself to become an
organizes he can do so by going out and
organizing group of his own.
Among the chief objects of the Inter-
national is the ascertaining of the indi-
vidual opinions of each of the members
upon all questions of interest, Each
member is expected to forward his views
and thoughts and all information he OBJ
tains to headquarters. f.
In this way, if every sympathizing
reader of this article will set to work, it
will be readily seen how quickly and
successfully -supposing the ideas to be
correct and the time ripe for them-the
party may spread. like the ganglions of
the nervous system, throughout the whole
of this broad land, preparing public
opinion, in advance of the crisis. for the
new social order, and thus serving not.
only to mitigate the violence of the
transition, but also to make the outcome
of the new system of society more sure
and satisfactory. x T.. ...as. ..F5l
And, be it observed, that with this
system there will be no necessity for any
centralized authority or arbitrary regula-
ton. Every little group will be inde-
pendent and self-regulating, and will
have the benefit of connection through
it's first member or founder with group

WENDELL PHILLIPS.

JOHN B. 0'REILLY, IN IRISH WORLD.
What shall we mourn For the PROSTATE tree
that sheltered the young green wood ?
For the fallen cliff that frontsd the sea, and
guarded the fields from the flooda
For the eagle that died in the tempest, afar
from its eyrie's brood ?
Nay, not for these shall we weep; for the
silver cord must be worn,
And thegolden fllet shrink back at last, and
the dust to its earth return; @
And tears are never for those who die with
their face to the duty done; # ~
But we mourn for the fedgling left on the
waste, and fields where wild waves run.
From the midst of the flock he defended,
the brave one has gone to his rest; tg,
And the tears of the poor he befriended their
wealth and aff1iction attest. .,... y.
From the midst of the people is stricken a
symbol they daily saw, .,i' a.
Set over against the law books, of Higher
than Human Law; t~.| g I,
For his life was eeaseless protest, and his
,s; voice was a prophets cry a,- ~.-~
To be true TO the Truth and faithful, though
( the world were arrayed for the Lie. .
From the hearing of those who hated, q
threatening voice has past; ..
But the lives of those who believe and die
are not blown like leaf on the blast.
A sower of infinite seed was he, woodman
that hewed to the light, .1'~
Who dared to betraitor to Union when Union
was traitor to Right!
'Fanaticw the insects hissed, till he taught
them to understand a.. -
That the highest crime may be written in the
highest law of the land. g.,
"Disturber" and Dreamer" the Philistines
cried when he preached an ideal creed,
Till they learned that the men who've chang
ed the world with the world disagreed;
That the remnant is right. when the masses
are led like sheep to the pen;
For the instinct of Equity slumbers till
reused by instructive men.
1t is not enough to win rights from King
dllu WIlGt Illcil uUWH III
New men, new lights; and the fathers code
the sons may never brook.
What is liberty now were license then; theil
freedom our yoke would be-;
And each new decade must have new men tt
determine its liberty.
Mankind is marching army, with broad
ening front the while;
Shall it crowd its brook on the farm-paths, o.
clear to the outward file
Its pioneers are areamers who heed neithe,
tongue nor pen
OF the human spiders whose silk is WOW
from the lives of toiling men.
Come, brothers, here to the burial! u. Blu
weep not; rather rejoice,
For his fearless life and his fearless death
for his true unequalled voice,
Like silver trumpet sounding the note O.
human right; ,.'
For his brave heart always ready to enter th'
weak ones fight;
For his soul unmoyed by the mob's will
shout or the social sneer's disgrace;
For his freeborn spirit that drew no line be
tween class or creed or race.
Come, workers; here was teacher, and tn,
lesson he taught was good;
There are no classes or races, but one human
Brotherhood;
There are no creeds to be hated, no colors O.
skin debarred;
Mankind is one in its rights and wrongs
one right, one hope, one guard;
By his life he taught, by his death we lear1
the great reformer's creed;
The right to be free, and the hope to be just
and the guard against selfish greed.

THE poem by John Boyle O'Reilly, on
Wendell Phillips, taken from the last
issue of the Irish World, will be found
to be the sweetest, truest song ever sung
in these columns. The editor of the
Irish World pronounces it worthy ot
the subject, which is saying great deal,
for no greater subject has ever fallen
under the pen of historian or poet than
the noble life of the great humanitarian
Wendell Phillips.

GREAT CONSERVATION was caused among
the tinsel-worshipers the other day, by
the telegraphic announcement that the
house in which general grant was born
was in danger of being washed away by
the Ohio river food. The fact that the

away from his birthplace at the time Of
the danger, defeats any little temporary
pleasure the news might otherwise afford
me. However, grant was never noted
for hanging around where water was the
predominating liquid.

suffering is confined to the poor-they
who bear the burdens of all mankind.

Owing to the length of the address Of
DR.. De La Matyr, and to the fact that the
work on the paper has been very hard this
week, the column devoted to labor notes
is unavoidably omitted. 1t requires more
time and labor to properly edit that coll

and troubled this week that it has been
impossible for him to attend to it, He

Ifitcheil'S tVhent Deal

MILWAUKEE, May 1.-THE past winter the
Minneapolis Millers' association has stopped

chasing it outright. The withdrawal of tho
association from the market three days left

orders to II. b. Kellogg & Co. to buy all they
can. This will start a grand exodus CT wheat
MilwaukeeWard Wheat along the central belt
of the Hastings d Dakota district is now sell
ing at 70 cents per busle Mr.. Kellogg was
asked about the matter, and admitted that his
agents in the great belt had been instructed to
buy all the cash wheat they can get He would
neither admit nor deny that Mr.. Mitchelrs
millions were to pay for the cereals. Mr..
Mitchell denies the rum0r. When the story
got out it created a great sensation on the
board. 1t was remarked that Mr. Mitchell
never went into anything unless to win, and
that his purchases were not for the purpose Of
speculation, but merely to start the wheat out
of the producing dist1icts over his own road.
