Why They Hated Hin.

Spies was hated by the "betteI
class" of Chicago because he
dared to expose their outrageous
villainies and criminal practices
and the following case from the
Arbeiter Zeitung will show that
the police had no great love for
him. "A young servant girl was
arrested on some petty charge,
and was locked up at the West
Chicago avenue station. In vio-
lation of all law. the girl, who was
of quite comely appearance, was
kept in the station for several
days and then secretly taken to
the county Jail. When she arrived
at the latter place she was uncon-
scious and showed SYMPTOMS of
serious illness. 1t was rumored
that something was not as straight
as it might be. Spies went to the
girl, taking her mother with him,
and to her she told a shocking
story. = =
Spies procured warrant a.
gainst the sergeant, who was iden-
titled by the girl, and ha! him
indicted.
This gentleman was acquitted
like every policeman who has ever
been put to the comedy of a trial
in Cook county. The poor girl
has never fully recovered. Is
there any wonder the Chicago
police would stop at nothing to
get even with him1"

Is Cheap Labor Prosperous! |!
Inter Ocean.

Inter Ocean.
A rather unique scheme was
put into operation some time ago
by the labor commissioner of
Connecticut, who distributed
blanks among several thousands
of working people, requesting
statements of their total wages
and income and their aggregate
expenses. From the answers re-
ceivcd in the month of October
he selected those of forty-six
families, representing all parts of
the state and embracing twenty
nine popular trades and occupa-
tions. The information thus Sc
cured must be rather surprising
to those pleasant optimists who
assure us that labor in all parts Of
the United States is on the aver
age prosperous and profitable.
The total outgoes of these forty
six families. numbering 225 per-
sons, for the month exceeded
their income by almost $500.
The amount earned for the
month was S2,475.26, of which
S,,oo6.o5 was earned by forty-six
fathers, $40 by two mothers.S3I3.4I
by fourteen sons and SII5 by six
daughters. The average monthly
income per family was $3.50; the
average daily income per family
SI.74. The expenses of the forty
six families for the month amount
cd to s.. go. 80, divided as follows:
For groceries and vegetables

political despotism more severe
than the one in this country exists,
so-called anarchism has Aourished
best. and has been transplanted to
this country by the natural force
OF events. In England also this
same school of political economy
has many supporters of the most
radical kind, and neither the club,
musket, prison, exile or gibbet
have effectually hushed them.
Force never has or can squelch
reason and truth. Christ taught
equality among men and perished.
Thousands who denied the infal-
libility of the pope we're tortured,
imprisoned and burned; and many
of those whose presumption led
them to deny the divine right of
kings died for exercising their in
alienable right-free speech, But
the good work went on notwith-
standing, and the worlds now rap
idly preparing for socialism in
spite of ridicule. contempt and the
mild persecution heaped upon its
forcrunners.
The Wwd also makes that fool
ish. silly suggestion so often men,
toned by leading journals of
to-day, to the effect that these an
archists should migrate to some
distant country in Central Africa,
Patagonia or Siberia. For my
part | would decline any such in
vitation with thanks. | have too
much interest in Colorado and, in
dividually. intend to stay here
and exert my energies in contend
ing for equal rights. This sug-
gestion comes with very i'll grace
in the light of history. The oldest
inhabitant cannot remember. but
it is an indisputable fact that the
Puritans in England followed out
such advice. but as soon as they
were well located the pirates fol-
lowed them up and continued to
oppress them in various ways until
finally the revolution again freed
them. Ii is useless to flee or try
to escape the tyrants. Colonial
ton such as'the I7M Wovid pro-
poses would at best only postpone
the revolution which is sure to
come. Moreover, it looks decid-
edly unjust and unreasonable to
expect men to give up without
compensation such vast amout
of wealth as the producers of this
country have accumulated.
The earth was made for man.

OSCAR NEEBE.
The Man Who Got Fifteen Years In
Joliet for Knowing the
Anarchists.

,octhi 'CituCt.
Oscar Neebe. now in Joliet
prison, under a sentence for fifteen
years. was born in Philadelphia,
of German parents. Both his
father and mother are still living,
Neebe was at the time of his ar
rest not wage-worker, but we'll
to do business man. Yet his
heart always was with the toiling
vesses, xsnd he did magnificent
y tice% an organizer of trades
unions. and stanch supporter of
socialistic ideas. He is now a.
bout thirty-nine years old, a fine
looking man cf German cast of
features. He was happily mar
ried and has two children. His
unfortunate wife. who adored him,
died of a broken heart while he
was imprisoned in the Chicago
Jail. His only crime, as far as can
be seen, is to have been promi.
nently active in the ltbor move
ment and thus to have incurred
the hatred of the ruling powers.
He had nothing whatever to do
either with the Haymarket meet
ing or with the throwing of the
bomb.
Neebe bears his undeserved fate
like a true, brave man. We give
extracts from a letter of his writ.
ten few days ago from Joliet
prison to a close friend of his:
The prison is kept very clean, the
sanitary conditions are good. We
get meat twice day, and several
kinds of vegetables. The air here
is far better than in Cook County
Jail; neither are cockroaches and
bed-bugs here in such impudent
multitude as they are there. The
discipline here is very strict, yet
! can see the necessity of that.
He who complies with the rules
gets along well enough, and be-
comes used to them. f."
There is good library in the
prison, comprising about 5000
volumes of antique and modern
literature. Tell my
brother Louis not to bring my dear
children here. nor my father or
mother; for their own sake ! don't
wish to see them here. Only he
himself may visit me. My cell
mate is a young Pole. a nice
young fellow. My best regards to
all friends and comrades"

Every political economist with
whom | have had opportunity to
become acquainted appears to
have spent the powers of his mind
in endeavoring to so arrange the
apparent difference between labor
and capital that they could con-
tinue to exist, if not in peace ex-
actly, yet in state of truce,-to
be broken from time to time by
the outposts.
These political economists cam
not be considered ignorant men,
they are simply the special
pleaders of the cause of capital.
Henry George. for example, can
not be ignorant of the fact that
should his free trade principles be
established in this country, that
instantly the laboring classes OF
the land will be forced to the ex-
act grade of the corresponding
classes of the, old world. / con-

The definition of the term capi-
tai by the photographers, all of
whom it would be easy to prove
are in its employ and consequently
devoted to it, is that it is some
thing not necessarily money, but
something into which money may
be converted; thus says Wor-
cester:
"Cabital-The stock invested in
any business, company or instit,,
tion.
.'C Cdpitalise- To convert into
capital; as money"
A perfectly true definition Of
the term would be:
Capi1olLA term used to dis
tinguish method of multiplying
the power of money to an almost
unlimited extent in favor of those
using it. Second, a legal form of
robbery.

Now, as no law bears equally
upon capital and labor, and as nc
law has ever been conceived thai
would or could be made "tosbeal
equally upon capital and labor
it follows that they can only be
equalized by divesting them both
of all law, or by the abolition OF
capital itself And yet. you will
hear Knights of Labor denouncing
the anarchists.
All written laws relating to the
existence, in peace, of capital and
labor are written in the interest oi
capital. These laws are sustained
by unwritten laws which are even
more powerful than the written
ones.
One especial edict of mammon
if propounded in biblical language
would read as follows:
Beloved, | am the lord thy god,
and will have no fooling with the
cards. Thou hast electedto serve
me all thy days and there must be
no monkeying.
Go, now, and from henceforth
let neither pity, mercy, truth, hon
esty or any relatives of the tribe
of Justice approach the precincts
of thy mind; for l thy god, am a
jealous and vindictive god and
don't you forget it.
Thou shalt hire for pay with
poor money, the laborer. In the
cheapest marts Of the world thou
shalt find him prepared for thy
work by my faithful servants.
Gaunt, ignorant and crammed
with superstitution shalt thou find
him. and few sheckels, yea few
shall buy him. Hovels and hovel

servants; his wife and daughters
also to be thy handmaids and ser.

forty years of my life tobacco has been a
deadly poison to me. loud cheers from
the anti-tobacconists In my youth as "a

smoked that cigar-it was delicious.
[Groans. From that moment was changed
man and now l feel that smoking in moder-
alton is comfortable and laudable practice
and is productive of good. [Dismay and
confusion of the anti-tobacconists; roars of
laughter from the smokers.] There is no
more harm in a pipe than there is in a cup
of tea. You may poison yourself by drink
ing too much green tea and kill yourself by
eating too many beefsteaks. For my own
part consider that tobacco, in moderation,
is a sweetener and equalizer of the temper. !"
Total rout Of the anti-tobacconists and
complete triumph of the smokers.
