A handsome nucleus has been secured in
the Athenaum library, and there should be
little difficulty in raising some 500, 600 for
the purchase of books and the erection of a
building from private sources. This, in adj
dition to bonds authorized, will equip Ii
brary that will be credit to our city and an
unreasonable benefit to our citizens.

There is strong probability that the
three upper floors of the building which is
to be erected OH the Academy of Music site
will be leased for Masonic temple. Promi
nent Masons, who are certain to accom-
plish about anything they undertake, are
said to be strongly in favor of the plan, and
there is little doubt that it will be carried
out.

then came Mr.. Tlford's opportunity.
He hammered enough lex non scripta

This shows the action of the average
Legislator lacking the honesty to stand

To the Enslaved Dynamite Explosions
Serve as a Reminder that a Means
Is at Hand to Strike Terror to the
Hearts Of the oppressors.

Editor Labor Enquirer.
In last weeks Enquirer Zeno asks if
the policeman who had so much trouble
to get dynamite bomb to go off in his
hands was educated / don't know
whether he was previous to the e1 plo-
sion or not, but am quite sure that he
was afterward, at least to the extent of
observing greater caution when handling
packages with which he was not familiar.
Perhaps to this hired slave driver the
bursting of this bomb conveyed no
greater lesson, not SO however with his
masters. The moral it has and will
teach them is of far greater import. To
the oppressors of the people, dynamite
explosions serve as warning. a protest
on the part of the oppressed. To the en-
shaved they serve to remind them that
a means is within easy reach with which
they can strike terror to the hearts of

Developing the Country.

For The Enquirer.
1t Is prevailing idea that the COM
petltive system has been useful in
spreading civilization and in developing
new countries in fact that without such
a system this work could not have been
accomplished. Many Socialists, while
they declare that its day of usefulness is
over, acknowledge that the competitive
system with it's monopolist1c schemes
and enterprises may have been neces-
sary. This, it seems to me, is extremely
doubtful it cannot be true that an evil
or an unjust system can ever be neces-
sary, or that work done under it could
not have been much better done under
a just system. And if we examine
closely into the so-called development
of the country" we will find it has been
attended with as much waste of time
and labor, as many hardships, heart
aches, sorrows and with as little order,
regularity or natural design as can be
conceived of under any imaginary sYs-
tenn.
We have people scattered here and
there in every state in the union, to be
sure; we have pitiful lonely little towns,
trying to be enterprising, all along the
lines of presumptious railways.

SIGNS OF THE TIMES.

7 = + .
One of the most encouraging signs, at
present, is the fact that the great leaders
Of thought are losing their dictatorial
manner, and are apparently awakened
to the the fact that there is very great
deal Of independent thinking going on
among the common herd. This fact has
startled them, and the effect is mani
tested in various ways.
The press, which is undeniably the
greatest of all such leaders, being largely
under the domination of capital, is OF
course but the mouthpiece of the money
power. 1t is somewhat amusing to see
the efforts 1t makes to prove by reductio
ad absurdum that it is impossible to be
hungry in land flowing with butter
and honey, thatthere can be no suffering
and privation during the era of wonder
ful prosperity but owing to the incom-
prehenslble lack of reasoning power, OF
this same common herd, they refuse to
accept of this undenlable logic, when
such stern facts as empty stomachs and
larders, bare walls and backs, and other
conditions of wretched poverty are so
plentiful. Be it said to the credit of hu-
manity that some of the brethren of the
press have taken a manly stand in this
matter. Instead of sitting the cry of
distress, they have sought to know why
it is raised; then instead of passing by
on the other side, they are assisting
robbed and suffering humanity to arise.
The pulpit, too, is hearing Its own cry
re-echoed, Choose ye this day whom
We will serve" and is beginning to take
a decided stand either. for God or Nam
mon, for the cause of humanity Is the
cause of God. "No man who loveth an
estate, glory or honor, wealth or ease,
more than his brethren in the faith,
although he daily fast and saith a thou
sand prayers and htanies, can enter
through this open gate" And it is an
encouraging fact that the money
changers are being driven from the
rempfe, and tho ge5pel-eEs-h -haasaaisE- -sis
largely on the increase.
The politician is howIing himself
hoarse, attempting to demonstrate that
he is and has always been strong ad-
vocate of all that pertains to the welfare
and benefit of the worklngman. Me
thinks he doth protest too much" and
it will not be long until his occupation Is
gone, for the people have about made up
their minds to the effect that if they
want anything done they must do it
themselves, and will cease employing
this cheap and nasty buzzard to sell
them out.

unscrupulous body of men assembled in
any legislative capacity than the present
rotten legislature of the state of Color

are some honorable exceptions, all the
