The Labor enquirer., 1886-10-02
It's the Same Thing.

FOr Ihe Enquirer.
Suppose the legislature should pass
laws to take half the products of all
your labor to pay themselves for their
services. Out of this robbery they
would have enough to establish police,
military and thugs to protect themselves
in it. What would you think of this
kind of justice? Now if YOU should
raise your voice in protest against this
forcible means of taking from you the
proceeds of your labor, you would hear
the cry of anarchists, Socialists, Com
munists," from the stiff -necked million
aire down to the pitiful dude,-and the
cry of claw and order," and claw and
order" is echoed from one robbers
mouth to another's and sent around the
world in one great conspiracy to rob and
oppress humanity.
Now We know that we are robbed Of
more than half of the earnings of our
labor. Comrades, what think you OF
law and order when it is discipin ed to
destroy life, liberty and virtue? Pros
tltution is law and order after a certain
age The rich to rob the poor is law and
order. The breaking up OF peaceable
meetings and the suppression of free
speech is new development of order
a soon will become law. To murder
our comrades for teaching an oppressed
people justice and liberty is one of the
latest developments Of law and order
that we have 10 day. C, NJ. STANLEY.

s5y@ Further evidence of the widespread
ruin resulting from Mr.Cleveland' Admi1iis-
tration is furnished by the leading Blaine
organ of New England. The Boston Journal
of Christmas morning thus summarized in
its editorial columns the annual report re-
garding the savings banks of the State:
"The abstract of the report of the Commits
sioners, which is published to-day, showing
as it does an increase in the deposits of $12,-
1926, and of %, ,779 of open accounts, proves
that the year 1885 has been prosperous one
for the people who make deposits in savings
banks, by which we mean people who save
small amounts annually from their earnings
or their small incomes, and put them into a
savings institution because they cannot use
them themselves in business. The increase
during the year in the number of deposits of
45, ,254 compared with the number in 1884, is
afurther evidence of the general prosperity
of that portion of our people who may be as
sumed to be wage earners."
1t would be amusing to print such ex-
trscts in parallel columns with extracts from
the ante-election prophecies in 1884 of the
distress which ''wage-earners," above all
others, would incur il Blaine should be de-
feated; but wa refrain.

~ Bryan Dcmocraf:--One Of the recent
grim farces Of newspaper criticism of Judi
eial decisions is ehargsable 70 the Ohio State
Journal, which has made victims Of many of
its contemporaries including the Bryan Press
of last week. II gave out what IL asserted
was from the language of Chief Justice Owen
in the Hamilton county election case when it
knew, If it knew anything on the subject,
that the language was from the dissenting
opinion of Judge Smith of the Circuit Court.
Judge Smith is Republican ''from way
back" and Is acknowledged to be the ablest
lawyer of that court. Upon every important
proposition in the case he is in full accord
with the Supreme Court. Indeed, the Cincin-
natl Commercial Gazette charged, with show
of viciousness, that Chief Justice OWENS
opinion was made mp chiefly of extracts from
Judge Smiths dissenting opinion.
The extract alluded to is made the text of
fierce attacks upon Chief Justice Owen by
the Chicago Inter Ocean and other papers,
and right here is where the joke Games in.-
The Jotruat gave it out as the language of
the Chief Justice, carefully concealing the
fact that Judge Smith concluded to be guided
by the law instead of the demands of Republi-
can papers and politicians.
Chief Justice Owen, in speaking OF the re-
turn about which the cry of fraud is raised,
and which Judge Smith said should be count
ed, says;
1T seems to us, however. that eonyinc-
ing reason why the canvassers should have
been permitted to count this return is to be
found in the treatment which it received in
the court below. No two of the judges en-
tertained the same view concerning il. One
was in favor of rejecting it wholly, one in
favor of rejecting two hundred votes, and the
third in favor of counting it entire. With
this division of sentiment distracting the
counsels of learned judges, it seems absurd
to contend that it was so clearly the duty of
these canvassers to reject it, or any part of
it, as that mandamus is the proper remedy
to compel such rejection"
The question naturally suggests itself: If
the Supreme Court has disgraced the state
by partisan decision, what is to come of
Judge Smith of the Circuit Court? But this
is the muddle which is in store for those
innocent newspapers which attempt to re-
view and reverse the decisions of the
Supreme Court.

~ 1t is a matter Of some importance to
persons purchasing real estate to remember
that the Ohio legislature last spring passed
law declaring all land conveyances which are
not recorded to be fraudulent, which law
went into effect on July 1st last. The Ian
guage of the statute is:
Conveyances shall be recorded in the office
of the County Recorder in the county where
the premises are situated and until so re-
corded or fled for record the same shall be
declared fraudulent so far as relates to a sub
sequent bona jide purchaser having at the
time of purchase no knowledge of the exis-
tence of such former deed or instrument.

s893 Gov. Hoadly delivered his message to
after organization. The message opens with
expressions of gratitude for prosperous year
and fitting allusion to the distinguished
statesman and patriots who have died since
the adjournment of the last Legislature. He
also aIludes to the political change which has
taken place in the State and to the crimina-
tions and recriminations growing out of al
legged election frauds. He says it was unfor-
tunate that the registration laws for Cinoin-
natl and Cleveland were found unconstitu-
tional, and recon mends a registration law,
SO framed as to obviate the objections of the
Supreme Court, applicable to Cincinnati and
Cleveland, land which may serve as a model or
precedent for adoption by other cities.
The adoption of the Con stitutional amend
ment changing the elections to November,
will make Ohio hereafter free from the es-
pecial dangers of corruption of the elective
franchise and the intimidation OF voters,
which her position as pivotal State, vo-
ting in October prior to the Presidential cleo
tions, involved. This is cause of congratu-
lation and thankfulness, and will materially
assist in redeeming the elective system from
the reproach, which, Justly or unjustly, the
elections af 1884 and 1885 have been sub
jected.
He recommends such changes i'll the Con-
stitution and laws of annual state and coun-
ty elections.s He recommends the repeal of
the laws discriminating between citizens on
account of color, and advocates the restriction
of the liquor traffic and favors license clause
in the constitution.
The Governor fayors a general encamp-
ment of the National Guard, believing it
would result in much benefit to the service.
A lengthy chapter on pardon and paroles is
given and number of suggestions made.
He urgently recommends that provision be
made in all iails for the separate confinement
of prisoners waiting trial; that the associa-
tion Of prisoners be prohibited, and that no
Jail be built until the Governor has approved
the plan.
The Governor calls attention to the necessi-
ty for the revision of criminal procedure.
The escape of the guilty from punishment is
facilitated by the technical requirements of
the present system. tits as important that
guilt should be detected and punished as in-
nocense protected
He points out the laxity of the divorce
laws.
He says the annual loss Of toll, which has
been constant since tho State resumed posses
sion Of the public works, has not been ar
rested, and shows no signs of abatement.
Tho receipts from the five canals of the
State were S119.5o9.77 and the expenditures
$246, ,362.47.
Other interesting matters are treated by the
Governor, such as the Penitentiary, inspector
of shops and factories, inspection of oils, the
swamp laws, fish commission, State debt,
taxation, &c. AS d whole the message is an
interesting State paper and reflects credit up
on the retiring Democratic Governor,

~, President Cleveland has written the
derstand that movement is on foot to erect
monument to the memory of the late Vice
President, and that it is to be tribute to his
worth and services on the part of his friends
and associates. This projects SO fitting and
appropriate that it seems to me that it must
meet with general approval. My relations
with Mr.. Hendricks, both personal and of
fetal, were such that it would be source of
much satisfaction to me to see this good
work promptly begun, and at the proper
time hope I may be allowed to aid in the
undertaking."
