was made in the constitution against the
growth and existence Of an arlstocratlc
class in this country. The American
idea is essentially democratic"
True, Mr.. Hewitt, all very true,
but it so happens that the founders
of our Republic did not complete
their work; they allowed some insti-
tutons to remain us they found them
although they were diamctricalIy
opposed to the principle they laid
down us fundamental. Among those
wrongs allowed to remain unrighted
were slavery and the English system
OF private property, or class owner
ship Of land and other means of life
and production that are social in
their use and nature. Well, slavery
we have gotten rid of and now the
other remnant of monarchic institu-
tons, the arstOcratic class govern
mcnt as it was then and is now in
Great Britain, has to 90, and our
most important public affairs, or as
Washington calls them, "common
concerns the economic affairs, the
mode Of holding property and the
method of social production and dis
tributjon Of wealth (busIncss) has to
be brought into accordance with
"dcmocratic principles. Under
such principles Land chords, Rail
road "klngs" and all kinds of rul-
mo Bosses" and classes can not
consistently beallowcd to exist. That
is 1.-THE idea that undcrlics this
movement" and instead of being "at
war with the fundamental principles
upon which our government was or
gained and rests, as Mr.. Hewitt
says, it is exactly the contrary, il is
Nr bringing iH/o uccordaurc with
those fundamental principles that
part of our social system, which has
never yet been brought into accord
ancc Herewith, namcI y, the economic
affairs.
Let us look at the facts. The
fundamental principles of our insti-
buttons are laid down in the Dcclar-
alton of Independence. There it is
plainly laid down, that the very pur-
pose Tor which our government was
instituted was to secure to all men
equal rights to life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness.
Now, does Mr.. Hewitt, or decs
anybody, mean to say that under our
present economic laws, where one
class can and does own all the land
and all means of life, any. person
born outside Of that class has an
equal right to life? Does he mean
to mock common sense and insult
the understanding of Il child by say
ING that there can be any equal rights
to life without equal rights to the
means of life?
No, no. you unworthy son-in-law
of a great phIlanthropist, you may
do 1t mconsciousIy, but you are the
one that is preaching and adyocat-
ng class rule, you are upholding the
very thing that has caused the
bloody revolution Of the past, namely,
the blind, selfish resistance of a
privileged class to the progress Of
democratic principle, to the cstab-
hshment of equal rights, If there
come any violent and bloody strug-
gle. 1t will be caused by you and
such rs YOU, who, like the Tories of

about nine o'clock last evening by the
stage entrance, after his little part had
been played The keeper was temper
arilly absent at the time, and Ell Mahdi
was at full liberty to wander about at
his own free will. Attracted by
the lights and snowy windows, the
elephant crossed the street and forced
his way through the half open door OF
Brewers Exchange saloon. The few
customers present, together with the
bartender, were frightened out OF their
wits by the sudden apparition Of the
unexpected New ears guest and inn
mediately stampeded toward the back
yard. Once safely out side, one or two

through a chink In the door in order
to observe the actions Of the little ele-
phant. which looked as big as q noun

About Going West Young Man.

Theodore Roosevelt offers in Harper's
Weekly altogether the most sensible
advice TO those thinking of going
West which we have seen for some
time. He says:
The man most apt to succeed in the
West is he. who knows a trade we'll, or
who is skillful craftsman with his
hands. An energetic, thrifty, hard
working young fellow who is . good
carpenter or blacksmith will always
find an opening, and il he labors as
hard as he'did in the East will get along
much faster. OF course I am not now
speaking of such exceptional success
as falls to the lot of few Of the men
who go West, but Of the chances open
ing themselves to the average man who
possesses both push and honesty. 1t is
always possible that a man may make a
fortune by specializing in town lots, by
striking pay gravel in mining, by hay
ing an unusual chance in cattle or
sheep; but such instance as these stand
on the same plane with the fortunes
made in Wall street. An exceptionally
able Speculation always runs a chance of
making fortune, West or East. and in
both places he also runs at least q
hundred chances Of losing everything
he.has in the world. Men forget. this
however, and those who, ii they staid
at home, would esteem themselves for
tunate il they were able to earn a COM
petence, become disconnected in the
West if they dc not rapidly acquire
great wealth. Take man who tries

The Error About Goblin City.

Students OF maps may have noticed
upon nearly all maps of Colorado i sued
during the past twenty years a settle
ment indicated Upon White River, near
the western boundary of the State, de-
nominated Golden or Goblin City. This
is curious example of the persistence
of geographical blunder. Many years
ago an army expedition traversed this
region, going from Fort Bridger,
Wy. T., to old Fort Massachu Col.
In this neighborhood are bad lands,
eroded into curious forms, which nat
urally suggest ruined city; and the
commander of the expedition gave the
locality the name Of Goblin City, which
name appeared on his map. The map
makers, in their haste to fill up the
blanks in the unsettled region, jumped
to the conclusion that this was a
Yeritable settlement, and gave Mt a
nlace on their mapsa place which it
has ever since retained. Not only have
the commercial map,makers. almost
without exception. fallen into this er-
ror, but such authorities as the United
States Engineer Office and General
Land Office have adopted it. The name
has, however, been gradually changed
from Goblin to Golden, and thence to
Golden City, while mole than one en-
map maker, reasoning, prob
ably that city cannot exist without
means Of communication with other
settlements, has constructed on paper
q road down the White River to it. IL
is scarcely necessary to add that there
is not, and never was, settlement in
this neighborhood.

going West. They would probably get
along moderately well even in the East,
