Last year there was such an "overpro-
ductlon" of bodies in the Morgue in this
city that the keepers must have a new
building. The total number delivered
there during the year was 5,575, or over
100 for every week the largest number
on record. Those not needed for dissec-
ton were buried in the trenches of
Potter's Field. What tragical pictures
are conjured up by these figures 1t is
a terrible thought to most poor people,
in the presence of death, that they are
on their way to the Morsne, the dissect-
ing room, the yawning trench. But, in
a single year, in this city alone, 5,575
men and women went out of life with
this prospect. Then you must know that,
if that host-went there. another host at
least twice as great we're barely kept
from going there by poor friends whose
last dollars were thuse expended. Yet
we have splendid .mausoleums" for the
rich, and it cost $4,000 to bury Leland
Stanford's son. Oh, poverty thou art a
baleful spectre.-John Swinton's Paper.

At the state house the committee on
labor considered various petitions for
the establishment of courts of arbitration
between employers and employees.
Several labor organizations were repre-
sented, and one manufacturers associa-
ton had a representative. Charles II,
Litchman presented bill for the ap-
pointment of three persons to serve as
an Advisory board to the Bureau OF
Labor statistics, to investigate accidents
in factories, and settle disputes between
employers and employees. The same
committee on labor has also been con-
siderlng bill for the payment of week
" wages. This bill should pass the
legislature, and is one that ought to be
acted upon in every state. T.
Recently the, committee on taxation
heard the petitioners for the just taxa.
ton of all property in this state. They
showed that there was over $50, ,0O(
worth of church property that were moi
paving taxes; while poor man had tc
pay heavy tax on small bit of pro
perty. The Rev. Mr.. rockingham
thought the taxation of church property
was just, and that it would prevent the
building of such costly churches il
which the poor were even practically
excluded from worshipping There was
no opposition, and it is thought the bill
will pass the house.

With the history of mighty Rome we
are all familiar. Her iron civilization
stands clearly photographed. She grasped
all that was valuable in the accumula-
tlons of her predecessors and massed it
in her structure built of iron, founded on,
granite. At the zenith Of her real great
ness and power, eighty.fiye. per cent of
her population held titles in land and
cultivated their own. Then her people
were happy, prosperous, hardy and
brave, and her leeions were invIncible.
Then her currency was in volume 81 $780,
100000. When Rome perished her
lands AND wealth were IN the hands Of
1000 indiiyldna1s. Dr. Lord says justly,
"fhose 1000 persons owned the world.'
Her currency had been contracted by
class legislation, ito 100000, 900, Allison

heathenism and moral corruption, was

Of money gave the Insurers power to abb
sorb the lands and all values. and that
inevitably resulted in the ignorance,
slavery and and moral vileness that
caused the iron to rust, and the granite
to integrate. No people eyer became

described the disintegration of the Ro-
man civilization The people were re-
dueed to tile poverty and misery of the
most degraded serfdom and slavery.
The disintegration of society was almost
complete, the conditions of life were SO
hard that individual selfshness was the
only thing consistent with the instinct
of selfpreservation. All public spirit,
all generous emotions, all the noble aspi-
rations of man shriveled and disap-
peared as the volume of money shrank
and prices fell to pieces" Another has

> LONDON, February 1.-THE state of the
labor market generally seems improving, al
though it will take some time to become
prosperous. In the shipbuilding industries
there is a decided change for the better; and
at several yards workmen are being taken
on, although in small numbers. There also
appears a revival of trade at the Marine En-
gineering Works. Golfers generally are
busy, and with the exception Of the strike at
Denaby Main Colliery, there is no serious
dispute at present as to colliers' wages. In
the iron trade there is slight depression,
but It is believed 1t will soon pass away, as
one or two new works have just been started
in the North, and this has caused an
an increase of employment. A strike has
broken out at Halesowen and Oldhill among
the workers in the manufactured iron trade,
against reduction Of wages; but it Is thought
that it will be amicably arranged. The build
ing trade is fairly active, and the dispute
amongst the house-joiners on the Tyne has

1te nar0 Place I0r one OF tne nOu-
union men to work now,p said Jones, in
conversation with 4 reporter. The
truth Is that the syndicate was glad 10
have the miners come back. Every one
of them will be taken back, with the ex-
ception of q few ringleaders who were
spotted. The non-union men are not
being discharged, but it is made very
hard for them by the others. They are
called scabs and blacklegs. and the old
men will not have anything to do with
them"
do you think the strikers will go out
again 2"
1T would not surprise me to see them
go out inside of a year. They we're not
beaten, and with the help they were re-
ceiylng could have held out six months
more. The operators couldn't. The
men they were importing were half of
them utterly worthless. / worked in
the coal mines along the Monongahela
river for fourteen years and know some
thing about mining. and I'd rather have
three Of the old men than dozen of the
imported ones. The latter will all be
crowded out or. that is, the majority.
The syndicate will keep number of
them to hold the others down. In mine
No. IL there were 100 Hungarians and
other inexperienced men. These have
been transferred and put on day work
outside at different points, and about
fifty Of the strikers put in their places"
sWere you forced out z"
No, but it isn't much of place for a
white man to work who doesn't belong
to the union"
aDid the strikers sign the cast-iron
contract p
"a few of them did who went back at
first, but every one who has gone back
within the last two or three weeks re-
fused to sign it, and was taken back just
the.same"

Emil Dorner, the foreigner who supplied
the Hooking operators with blacklegs,

is also under arrest for voting illegally

The coke syndicate has started up
more ovens, and now bas 70 per cent at
work. A month ago only 42 per cent
were working. About 1900 men are
thus given work. The iron trade is i'm

trade.

is its dire results. The other great civil
lsations we're wrecked in 4 like manner.
i have used the language Of historians
rather than my own for this purpose.
No one can say that is . picture drawn
by ireenbacker. Wealth is mainly
centralized by means of controlling
money. The Capitalization results in
moral and physical degeneracy, which
invariably ruins nations and forms of
,civilizations Such is the teaching of
universal history. The process is now.
being exhibited in the drama of the
Christian civilization. It lis passing over
the stage with the amazing speed of
the forces this civilization has found
and harnessed. In Europe the curtain
is about to be lifted for the last act. In
the United States the Capitalization of
wealth and It's main sources is being
accomplished with accelerated speed.
Twenty four years have developed re-
suits that under Roman enterprise re-
CURED many centuries. First, let US
notice the centralizatlon of wealth, per-
force 81 our IA load Which y
controlled BY less than IAN one per cent Qf
our peopl6. This vast, grand system
has cost actually no less than 81 .70O,-
100000.
Snidth puts the claimed cost At $4 ,000,-
100000, O'Brien at $4,000 900, At
the lowest figure ofthe claimed cost and
the highest of the real cost, the law has
accumulated for the owners 81, 800. 600, 900,
over their Investment, and on that they
draw dividends. Law has given railroad
magnates between 2O0.OOO,0OO and 290,-
100000 acres OF land. To enable us to
rise to some conception of the immense
area of the public domain thus passed

nlo LOT t,cS mak q a camnariSon.

Legislative Report.

Legislative Report.
The new charter for Denver was
amended in the senate to increase the
board of supervisors from seven to nine.
Senate bill No. $50. to prevent unlaw-
full assemblies, is still in the hands Of
the committee, where there is no doubt
but that it will be smoIhered, asit should
be. It's twin brother, No. 259 of the
house, was recommended to be indef-
nltely postponed. by the committee who
had it under consideration. That kills
that bill.
The committee on constitution, that
had house bill No. 37e under considera-
ton. reported that it be indefinitely
postponed. This bill was to amend the
constitution so as to make arbitration in
labor troubles compulsory, 1t is neces-
sary to amend two sections Of the con.
stitution in order to have such arbitra-
ton effective, and as that document
provides that not more than one, section
can be amended at any one session, of
the general assembly, hence the indefi-
mite postponement of bill No. 379.
House bill No. $40 does not appear to
have any opposition, and no doubt will
become a law. -
House bill No. 210 will be reported
upon adversely because the laws already
provide that 1000 pounds shall be ton,
and it is believed that bill No. 210 is
already covered by those laws.
House bill No. l64 is still in commit
tee. The general belief is that it will
get no further.
The resolutions adopted by the work
ingmen at their meeting on the twenty
second are having effect. : They were
printed in a neat form and placed upon
the desks OF the members OF both houses
of the legislature. The members are
having better understanding of the
several bills mentioned in the resolu-
tions.
The war between the people and the
railroads has fairly begun in the house.
1t seems to be the tactics of the railroad
party to delay or stave off action on any
ofthe railroad bills now before the house.
They appear to be in the minority SO far.
House bill No. 176, which gives the
employe the same right to recover dam
ages for personal injuries that other per-
sons have, was reported favorably to the
house. 1t took some work for the legis-
lative committee of the Trades Assembly
to convince the gentlemen who had
that bill in charge that it was a just
measure.
The legislature has been in session
forty EIGHT days, and has only passed
seven bills. 1t does seem as though
there was great deal of time wasted,
and that our lawmakers would take a
tumble to themselves and try to do
something, or adjourn and go home.
