A q" PINKERTON." "
The Notorious McParlan Alias Me.
kenna FlOmrishing in Denver.

A story was circulated some time
ago that McParlan, the Pinkerton
spy who unearthed " the " Molly
Maguires in the coal regions of
Pennsylvania a number of years ago,
had sunk into poverty and was a
beggar in Chicago. Whether this
bit of romance was intended to put
imaginary "Mollies" off the scent or
not, is unknown. But McParlan is
not tramp. He is the head man
Of the Pinkerton agency in Denver,
Col.
The democratic" Governor of
Colorado cheerfully gave the Pinker-
ton band license to carry on their
Cuisines " in that State, and we
may soon expect to hear of dynamite
plots and all sorts of disorders in that
unhappy State.
Governor Adams, by the way, is
one of those "workingmen's friends"
who wags his tongue so unctuously
for the. poor downtrodden working
man. y II this McParlan, or any
other man i'll his employ, is found
trying the tricks of agents p0r0ca-
teurS, Governor Adams should have
to bear his share of the odium and
the punishment, which could not be
too severe At any rate, the work
ing people Of Colorado who look
upon Adams as II friend had better
hedge, and if they need a governor
very badly let them elect one who
is not member of u corrupt party,
and in cooperation with a notorious
gang Of desperadoes.
Workingmen Of Colorado, beware
of men Clothed in workingmen's
garments though they beg, who talk
dynamite and anarchy. "Give
them away" Immediately, as the
Socialists in Europe did Bismarck's
spies.

9riee ! Gemts

theirs after their Indebtedness to the
firm had been deducted. Some of
them had not one cent coming, and
one healthy, strapping young man
came out of the door with silver
quarter dollar in his hand, the only
returns which he had after whole
months labor. None of them had
more than 81 or 81, and the great
majority came out just about even.
Some of the men could read and
some could not What the store
keeper said or did or wrote was to
them law. If they came out IN
debt it was only dolIar..at most, for
Cooper X Hewitt are not running in
charity harness at Hewitt village.
The accounts were very generally
evenly balanced. Another month
had been worn out of their lives,
and the on y satisfaction the poor
fellows had was that it was one more
nearer the end. A more affecting
spectacle can hardly be imagined
than these brawny men presented,
lounglng about that store, realizing
that their lives were being spent for
people who used them like dogs, and
seeing not the falntest glimpse of
hope for the near future. There
they were, saddled to slavery. There
was little jesting in that crowd.
" Pay day" is an arrant cruel mock
cry. Kinder and better far would
it have been to have let the poor fel-
lows 90 to their homes than to taunt
them with the hope of pay and bring
them to an office only to hand to
Hewltt's storekeeper the money
which llewltt's paymaster had given
them.
The pay office IS upstairs, the store
is downstairs in the building. The
time occupied in coming down the
flight from the loft is the only time
in which they ever handle money.
Then it is passed over. The firm
has all--the workingman begins his
life over again, and begins it in debt,
for he must get his supplies for the
following days. One fact struck the
reporter as peculiar, and it was that
although they made purchases, none
of them ever asked the price of any
thing.
Competition for political ascen-
dancy must be getting hot when
" republican capitalist sheet will
60 so far as to print such matter
in order to bring political rival
into dlsrepute. But they would be
fools who voted with the republi-
can ring Of capitalism to "get
square" " " Democrat " Hewitt is no
better than hundreds of "republi-
can " slave drivers, and therefore the
best thing for the workingmen to do
is to organize among themselves,
and oppose both the capitalist par
ties, remembering that although the
" rogues fall out sometimes, honest
men are still wage slaves, be the ad-
mlnistration republican" " or
"democratic."
Mayor Hewitt denies the "repub-
lican" papers story, and told a re-
porter Of a democratic " paper
that he had concluded to resent it as
libellous. He has been in consulta-
ton with the District Attorney.
Nothing will dissuade me from
prosecuting the libeller," he said.
Perhaps he may even get his en-
ployes to swear that they are well
paid, and do not have to take truck
pay. 1t is to be hoped that Hewitt
will do as he says, for there may be
interesting disclosures.

PATERNAL GOVERNMENT.
How Convict Labor Could BE Made
Useful and Instructive.

HOW convict LABOR I0ulu De Maue
Useful and Instructive.
What strange infringements on
our professed individualist, let-alone
system are constantly perpetrated by
its stanchest supporters themselves.
What" is their cry, edo you
wish the State to control or regulate
production? Preposterous. By what
right dare it usurp powers that in
divlduals hold? Would you create
a paternal government, and thereby
create hordes of arrogant stepfathers
and make nation of abject depend
ants: No. We prefer to race with
others and take our chances in the
scramble for existence; for competi-
ton intensi6es exertlon. Let the
ablest grasp the prize, wealth, and
with its industrial prestige levy trib-
t,to on the unsuccessful.
A few days ago the New York
State Assembly appropriated half
million dollars for the purpose of
employing the idle inmates of the
prisons, upon the plea that man
kind, however debased, must natu-
rally work. Thus, by supplying
them with the means to labor they
can create enough wealth to support
themselves, and besides yield a hand
some revenue to the community.
While this is a crude attempt at pa
ternal government, 1t is, under our
competitive system, injurious to
labor while competing with it.
Yet is this rot a hagrant depart
ure from the o-governmental-inter-
ence-with-industry principles by the
very legislators and their constitu-
ents. If convicts are worthy of be-
ing employed and supported by the
State, how about the honest " free "
labor?
Look at the official statistics,
which verify in glaring figures the
existence of an immense army of
men, ever on the increase, mar
shaled under the black banner of
the army of the unemployed. Hordes
of brawny, intelligent beings tramp
ing about with feverish restlessness
begging for work, their haggard,
pale faces telling the tale of human
suffering. What horrible phan-
tom in an enlightened civiliza-
ton" Yet in the very face of this,
strange to say, we are surrounded by
unlimited resources, all awaiting the
magic touch of the labor of man to
enable him to live in comfort and
luxury, and that labor turned to
play by the utility of machinery,
the creation of the social labor of
ages.
In the name of humanity, in the
face of all this, why not also pro-
vide these free men, honest men,
with the means to labor to enable
them to live: Or do you wish to see
them driven to crime and prostitu-
ton in order to draw line to limit
governmental control? Or is it
design to ultimately force them into
prison for the benefit of the few con-
tractors who coin a profit from vice
and crime?
Under the prison labor system
now existing the jails are simply
huge factories, the cOnvicts being
hired by contractors, who pay them
a wage so low that a " free" laborer
cannot thrive upon. Something less
than forty cents per day is the cost

THE TARIFF QUESTION.

My friend, said tariff maniac, "do

clothes "IIow's that" With whisky
cheaper we can drink the same amount
and still have a surplus for cIOthing'
