AUTHORITY.

Occasionally one hears, AMID the
general murmur Of discomfort, de-
nunciatlon of authority uttered by
some honest, sentimental and dis
gusted worker; occasionally, also,
this sentiment is ostentatousl y ex-
pressed by loud-mouthed agltators
for revenue on y, or worse.
OF the latter class were the Ger
man police spies arrested on the IN.
formation of the Socialists, who, by
their timely denuncIation, saved
themselves from being accused of at
tempted murder by these same spies,
who intended to surreptitiously place
explosives and forged compromising
documents in the houses of their in
tended victims. There Is no need
of wasting time over them, but their
tactics may with profit be taken as a
warning by American workingmen,
and men of their complexion
avoided.
OF the former there are compare
lively few, and it is a wonder, all
things considered, that they are not
more numerous. Because authority,
vested in few and most shamefully
abused by them, has been felt to be
u burden, authority is cursed, and
the opposite extreme praised. If
through the exercise of proper au-
thority these same people had been
secured "life, liberty and the pur-
suit Of happiness" overtaking a
little of the latter, they would prob
ably have little to say against author
ity. But they might as well curse
power, for the same persons who ex-
erclse an unwarranted authority
must have power to make it active.
The great bulk of worklngmen who
are capable of philosophlc thought,
have no quarrel with authority or
any other useful attribute, They
would habilitate authority, and
through cooperation create the con.
ditlons necessary to freedom. A
babe placed alone upon the land,
were it ever 80 fruitful, would not
enjoy liberty. A social being, brought
up among his kind, if placed upon d
whole continent alone, would hardly
appreciate liberty. In order to gel
more out of life than mere existence
Man must partake Of the life Of
others-share their thoughts, shar,
their aspirations, share their labors
and in so doing increase the JOY O
living.
But in the evolution of society s
system-better described as a confu
slon--has developed, which ha
placed the greater portion of civil
ICED beings under the power of ,
few; and this was the logical out
come of that individualism which
developed with great speed since tn
days of the reformation" ant
which seems to have reached it
maximum intensity in England an,
America. Along with this individ
ualism another Development ha
taken place, and cooperation ha
proved itself etfectual. During tn
requirement of wealth and powe
the ruling class has also acquired au
thority, and that authority is use,

The incarceration of the Irish agi-
tator, Mr.. Dillon, was on charge
of criminal conspiracy, which shows
that the English government can
twist law with rs much etfrontery as
some of our State governments can

One of the surprising statements
in the daily press was that the So

BERLIN, November 22.-EmperorW William
was frequently interrupted by warm ap-
plause while he was reading his speech at
the opening of Reichstag, to-day. The
passages referring to the peaceful situation,
improvement in trade and social legisla-
tion were especially applauded. Upon the
conclusion of his speech, Herr Won
Boethseher, as representative of the Chan
eeller, declared the Issichstag opened.
When Emperor William entered the
Herr Won Buhl, Vice-President OF the

an ovation, led by Count Won Lerchenfeld
Kovering, Bavarian plenipotentiary. Dur
ing the opening ceremony, the imperial
balcony was occupied by the Empress,
Duke and Duchess OF Aosta and Princess
Albrecht and her sons.
When the Reichstag settled down to busi-
ness the budget was presented. 1t balances
at 949, ,1O3, ,907 marks. OF the expendi-
lures SO6, 425 .490 marks figure as perma-
nent, and SO, ,554, ,615 marks. homecoming
expenditures in the extraordinary budget.
The estimated revenue from
TAXATION DURING THE COMING YEAR
shows an increase of twenty million marks.
Funds made over from the empire to the
federal states will be fifteen million marks
in excess OF previous years. On the other
hand matricular contributions from indi-
vidual states to the empire are increased

According to memorana accompanying
| the naval estimates, several new war ships
will be built besides those now in the course
| of construction. The addition will COM
prise four iron-clads, nine smaller armored
| vessels, seven corvettes, four cruisers, two
dispatch vessels and two torpedo boats.
The existing war ships, the budget states,
are still serviceabie, but are becoming un-
adapted to the times. 1t is therefore
urged that there be created a nucleus for
first class ships Of from 5000 to 10000
tons, expenditures under this head to be
1I6,S 100000 marks. and to be distributed
over ten years.
The increase in army expenditures
amounts to 100000 marks, mainly for
victualing purposes.

He Has Two Wives and is the Proprietor

BUFFALO, NJ November 21.-A divorce
case OF peculiar interest has just been ended
in this city. The unusual circumstances In
the story are marriage under false name
and the fact that the husband, the defend
ant in the action for divorce, led dual
life, ran two domestic establishments, had
two wives, two families, and kept up the
deception for three years. Then came the
explosion.
John f. Knippel is tie hero of the ro;
mantle tale. He loves horses as well as
women, and is a trainer and driver by pro-
fession. Nearly six years ago he mhrrleti
Carrie Miller under an assumed name. Two
weeks ago she discovered that he was living
with another woman. Pretending to be
busted with horses he divided his time be-
tween the two women, having an equal
number of children in both homes. The
woman's name was Mrs. Pauline Kline,
supposed to be a widow.
1t was found that John had lived with
Mrs. Kline seven years, that he had been
living with her bef.re his marriage to Car
rie Miller and that he lad lived contlnu-
ously with her in the relation OF husband
and wife up to the time of the beginning OF
the divorce suit. Two children were born
to them-the first in October, previous to
his marriage, and the second three years
later. Mrs. Kline is 81 years old and quite
good looking.

opened United States District Attorney
Smith entered nolle in the cases OF all but
five men, namely, E. R. Park, J. d. Haight,
Charles Decker, Louis Smith and Mike

were held in $500 bail to await the action
OF the United States Grand Jury. In all
NINE PERSONS WERE HELD.
About half OF them were able to give
bonds. About ten witnesses were held in
$500 recognizanc9 to appear AMI testify.
The case has created considerable stir
and some ili.ieeling here. The editor Of the
''Missoulian" made an unwarranted and
scandalous attack on Sheriff d. j. Heyfron
for making and swearing out the complaints
against these parties, and it is altogether
probable that the matter will be resented.
The office of the DAILY Item," Repub-
lican sheet, has been closed since Monday.
No paper has been issued since that time,

first OF July last, and it was generally con-
ceded that it would die natural death at
the end OF the campaign.

the following mention OF the fact 1.-THE
Daily Item office VAS closed Monday.
The dead-beats who run the paper have
paid nothing except whisky bills, and none
of these that could be avoided. The

Votes than Hill--Curious Computations.
New York Herald: An interesting ques-
tion has been started in regard to the re-
cent election ia New York state by a bet
made by Shed Shook that Harrison's vote
exceeds Hills. AT first sight tins seems
very improbable. Sust look at the plural
tiles. Harrison has a lii tie more than l3,-
600 over Cleveland; Hill has about lS.ooo
over Miller. In the twelve counties Cleve-
land carried he has p!uralities amounting
to about 70, 900. In the thirteen counties
Hill carried he has pluraIlties amounting
to $4,000. Ia the 10, ty-seven counties
carried by Harrison he has total plural
;tv of about $4,000. In the forty-six
counties carried by Miller he has ahnutSO
0nO plurelity. 1t will be seen that Hill
not only has plurality of $4,000 over
Miller. but an apparent plurality Il 9,OOt
over Cleveland and Of 5000 over Harrl
SOD. u, ,r.
Yet in the number Of votes po!led Hill
comes third instead OF first aarrIsoI
| leads, OF course, and then comes Cleveland
Hin is some 27 900 votes behind CLEVELAND
and 10000 behind Harrison. Harrison
| has some 10000 Or $4,000 more 'hai
| Miller.
| In forty counties from which the tui
| vote has been received, iand these lnclud
both Kings and New York;, Cleveland ha
i517,l66 votes; Harrison, 511, ,113; Hill
4G3 ,543, and Miller 427,653. Clevelan'
Heads with $3.50 over Harrison, while Hal
risen las AZ $50 more than Hill. In tn
remaining twenty counties Cleveland ma
| tI:4;a-, ,,f ,,ni,, ohnnf 2 600 while Han
rson has piurealities OF $4,000. Hill ha
pluralities OF about 10000.
All of which seems strange when tilll
plurality over Miller is $4,000 and Clev'
land runs $4,000 behind Harrison. Th
study OF the figures shows clearly enoug
that thousands OF voters cast ballots lc
the electoral tickets, but did not take I'll
) trouble to vote for any OF the gubernatorli
| candidates. Hill, victorious as he wa
failed to get 1000 votes that went to Nj
Cleveland.

ment OF Balfour that the League was a
thing of the past. Formerly a writ could
be executed by sheriff with the aid OF
four policemen, but now four hundred sol.
diers were required. Since 1850 the Earl
OF Kenmare had expended f17,3O0 in the
Improvement OF his estate. His bill for
labor now amounted to $500 weekly.
Only such rents were taken from poor ten
ants as they could afford to give. Witness
did not seek to collect rent from persons
blue with hunger. The law was never en-
forced against tenants OF that class.
The court then adjourned.
Harrington intends to question the right
OF the commission to impose fine of $500
which was assessed against him.
