Why is|it that Butler is the favorite of
the people of the whole country? Be-
cause he is honest. Because he under
takes to faithfully redeem the pledges he
makes to the people, Nearly all the
governors elect in 1882 were pledged to
reform movements, and Butler was the
only one who had the courage to conduct
his administration in accordance with
his pledge. 1t was because he unearthed
the mass Of corruption at Tewksbury
and exposed some of the peculiar work
ings of the moneyarehy, that the whole
money power of both republicans and
democrats was brought to bear against
him. Labor Yindicator.

The following Declaration of the
Rights Of Man"is ordered published to

If it should be found, after careful
trial thereof, that any form or system of
government or society fails to maintain
the rights of man, then it is not only the
right but the most sacred duty of the
whole people to alter or abolish the said
system by any and all possible means,
The Labor enquirer., 1884-02-02

Whatever rights belong to one man
belong to all men equally, whatever diff
ference there may be in their physical,
mental, or moral force. Equality Of
rights is established by nature. Society,
80 far from invading it, ought justly to
constitute security against the abuse of
force which would renderl 1t illusory.

In every Just government the law
ought above all to defend public and in
dividual liberty against the authority of
those that govern. Every institution
that does not suppose the people good
and the magistrate corruptible, il vicious,
The Labor enquirer., 1884-02-02

Men of all countries are brothers, and
the people of each ought to yield one
another mutual aid, according to their
ability, like citizens of the same state.
He who opposes or oppresses one peo-
pie is the declared enemy of all. Those
who make war on people to arrest the
progress of liberty and to annihilate the
rights of man ought to be pursued every
where, not as ordinary criminals, but as
social outlaws, assassins and robbers.
Kings, aristocrats, tyrants of every de-
scription are beasts dangerous to the
welfare of mankind, and against them
should be raised the hand of every man.
The Labor enquirer., 1884-02-02

Governments, as at present existing
are machines used for the purpose of
enslaying the people. Such machines
should be abolished and society be per,
mitted to reorganize upon principles of
equality. The people being too much
governed, all statute or common law,
except broad and simple declarations Of
principles and rights, should be abolish
ed. These principles should be inter
p1eted not by infamous precedent, but
by the light of common sense, to secure
Justice to all.
The Labor enquirer., 1884-02-02

Society can deny to those who do not
consent to this system of society any
share of the benefits produced by the
cooperation of those who do consent.
1t is but just that those who will not CO.
operate should receive none of the ben
etits of cooperation.
The Labor enquirer., 1884-02-02

Liberty is the power which belongs to
a man of exercising all his faculties at
pleasure. 1t has justice for its rule the
rights of others for its boundaries, nature
for its origin, and the law for its safe
guard.
The Labor enquirer., 1884-02-02

That the just end OF all political asso-
citation and the only permissible reason
for their existence at all, is the mainte-
nance of the natural and imprescriptible
rights of man and the development of
all his faculties.
The Labor enquirer., 1884-02-02

Every individual is entitled to an equal
proportional share of all the natural ad-
vantages of earth. The whole people
should hold the land, light, air and water,
together with other of natures re-
sources, rs the natural heritage IN COM
mon of all mankind, and of his propor-
ton thereof no man should ever be de-
prived.
The Labor enquirer., 1884-02-02

Debt, profit, interest, rent and the COM
petitive system of industry are hereby
formally declared proved instruments of
degradation and tyaranny, and cancers
upon the social body. So also are the
present methods of furnishing crime
rather than preventing it; the present
monetary system the present method of
suffrage the present method of educa-
ton; and the present systems of juris-
prudence, church and military.
The Labor enquirer., 1884-02-02

Every individual is entitled to an
equal proportionate share of all the accu-
mulated wealth created by past genera
tions, and that wealth should be held by
society as the natural heritage in COM
mon of all mankind.
The Labor enquirer., 1884-02-02

The right of private property can
Justly be based upon no principle except
that having been produced by the per-
son in possession of it, or upon the pos
SCISSOR having rendered for it the full
equivalent to the one who did produce
it. This rule can have no exceptions
save those created by the unanimous
consent of all members of society.
The Labor enquirer., 1884-02-02

The right of fife, which belongs equally
to all men, carries with it the right to
the means of living. Chief among these
subsidiary rights is the right of each in
dividual to receive the full product OF
his own labor, without tithe, tax or dim
mutton, upon any pretext.
The Labor enquirer., 1884-02-02

So long as members of society shall
fulfill their portion of the social contract
they have right to demand of society
that it provide to them the means neces-
sary to provide for their subsistence. So
ciety is bound also to insure the means
of existence to those who are incapable
of labor.
The Labor enquirer., 1884-02-02

The right of peacably assembling; of
manifesting opinion, whether through
the press or by any other means; of the
free exercise of religion; of bearing
arms; of security of person against un-
reasonable search or seizure, and of COM
plete liberty of thought and speech, to-
gether with the right of association, are
such necessary consequences of the prin-
ciples of mans liberty, that the necessity
of declaring them presupposes either the
presence of, or the resent remembrance
of dasnotlsm

BORN TO THE BUSINESS.
a Practical Railroad Man and HIS
work.


Colonel A. Pope, the general passenger and
ticket agent OF the Norfolk & Western Road, 10
n Georgian by birth. At an early age no on.
tered the telegraph service and became an
expert operator. His railway life began with
the Montgomery West Point Road, before
the war, as local ticket agent at Montgomery,
Ala. After serving In that capacity some time,
no resigned and became connected with the
Western Atlantic Road, and was assigned to
duty In the freight department.. He displayed
such proficiency and energy in this new
branch OF railroading that when the Atlantic
Coast Line was organized he was invited by
the president OF that company 70 become Its
general freight and passenger agent, which
position he accepted ana fllled with satisfaction
for several years, until the consolidation Of
the railways OF Virginia and tho CarOllna5.
He then became general passenger aud ticket
agent OF that organization and tho Richmond
& Danville system.
Two years ago, wncn olonel Henry Fink
took charge OF the Norfolk Il Western system
as general manager, no selected Colonel Pope
passenger agent 10 take charge of the pas.
senger depot OF that system as general pas
senger agent. His reputation as successful
passenger man ts uneXcelled by any one In the
South. He presides as general passenger
agent over one OF the most delightful routes
the tourist can take during the spring and
GUNNER months going and returning from
the South, passing as IL does through the
picturesque mountains of East Tennessee,
Virginia aud North Georgia, presenting a view
of mountain scenery of unsurpassed grandeur.
Tho air Is pure and bracing, the roadbed
smooth and free from dust ana the passenger
coaches are models OF comfort and case.

The Star of nrtniehcm.

Providence (R. ~ journal.
The Theory concerning the "Star OF Bethle-
hem" Is based on poetlcal foundation,
having little TO support 1t. In tho year 1872
Tycho Braho, a Dutch astronomer, discovered
new star near Caph in the constellation
CGsslopea. II Increased In brilllancy until
II was as bright as Venus, and could easily be
seen at monday. 1t continued to shine
brightly for a month, then gradually grew
dim, and In 16 months disappeared from
view. II was looked upon as a new creation,
or a sun on fire, and the general opinion WAS
thnt II would never again shine In the star
depths. Forty years later the telescope was
Invented. When II was turned to the position
In the heavens occu pied by the blazing star II
minute star was found near tho Identical pot.
This telescope star i5 still there, and is
doubtless the same one that blazed forth In
1872, Tho discovery that II existed led as.
trOnOmers 10 search astronomical records. and
II was found that similar bright stars had ap-
peared in tho same region of tho sky In 0i5
and 1864. Counting blck threo periods from
9l5 we are brought 10 the near vlcluity OF tho
bllth Of Christ. Observers gifted with poetic
fancies have naturally connected the two
events, and have Inferred thGt the Star IN tho
East, pointing 90 the place OF the Nativity,
was sudden outburst of this wonderful star.
For this reason 1t has received tho name Of
tho star OF Bethlehem. About twenty.four OF
these temporary stars have appeared In the
last 1000 years, subject, like the star In Cas-
hiopea, 10 sudden outDurst5 followed by re-
turn TO their normal insignincance. They are
now caasod as variable Stars, subject to sud
den outbursts due to eruptlons of blazing
hydrogen, and which arc followed by long
periods Of Quiescence. According 10 this theory
the star Of 1872 is II variable star, with a
period Of u few more than 800 years. The last
period was sos years, II the bright star OF 1864
wos one and tho same; we may therefore hope
for repetition of the incomprohenslble
phenomenon in the immediate future. Tho
star was due in 1880; II 1t appears at all 1t
Will surely blaze forth by 1885. There IL Il
possibility, therefore, that the lonElost Star
OF bethlehem, the Pilgrim Star, tho star OF
1872, or Tycho Braho's star--for It is known
by all these namos-will once more become n
shining wonder In tho sky. Such n celestial
visitor will be warmly welcomed by astron-
omers, and lar more acceptable than n great
comet epannlng the heavens with Its gOssa,
mer tail.

CHARLES O'CoNoR, whose death at Nan
tucket is announced to-day, occupied dis
tiDguished position among the great lawyers
this country has produced. His prominence
was increased by the success with which,
in conjunction with Mr.. Tilden, he prose-
cuted the ring cases against the municipal
officers of New York in 1873, breaking up
the Tweed regime and accomplishing a
peaceful revolution in the government Of
that city. Born in New York in 1904,
soon after tho arrival of his parents from
Ireland, he obtained tho elements of u
classical education, and taking up the study
of law, was in 1924 admitted TO the bar
He was employed in the Forrest divorce
case the Lennon slave case and other inn
portant cases, some Of which involved very
large amounts. A Jealous Democrat, he
has been frequently urged to accept nomi-
