HE WILL WRITE, NOT TALK BACK.
The Theological Debate to Gene Off
at Guyton.

The Theological Debate to Gene of
at Guyton.
Guyton, it appears, is not to be denied its
theological debate, although it is not to get
it in the way that it expected When Rev.
J. A. Scarborough had concluded his SER
mon last Sunday in answer to one delivered
by r. V. Omer Of the Christian church. the
latter took the floor and challenged Mr..
Scarborough to an open debate on the ques-
essential to salvation Mr.. Omer afirms.
Mr.. Scarborough denies The latter ac-
cepted the challenge, conditioned that the
debates should be written out and read by
the authors. Mr.. Omer preferred an oral
debate, but he had to accept the alternative.
The Baptist church has declined to per-
nit the use of the church for the debate,
holding that as Mr.. Omer had the benefit
Of his sermon in it, and Mr.. Scarborough
the privilege Of reply the doctors of
divinity must hire hall The debate is to
come off in a hall, the details of which have
yet to be arranged.
The Guytonians will insist that modera-
tors be selected, and the gentlemen sug-
gested by the MORNING News recently
seem to meet with popular favor Col
Rawls says he will accept with pleasure,
and he thinks the others will serve, as they

THE JURY COMMISSIONERS.

1t is no secret that the jury commissioners
have had clerk employed for some time
collecting information to combat the criti-
cisms Of the officials of the superior and city
courts, published not long since in the
MORNING News, regarding the defects in
the jury list.
1t is now very probable that the jury
commissioners will soon be heard in their
own defense. 1t is understood that meet
ing has been called for next Tuesday night,
at which time a report is expected to be
agreed upon for publication. This is the
plan as outlined some time ago to MORN

CHANGE.

Harpers Weekly contains a car
toon which is suggestive. very
suggestive, of the rapid change
in public sentiment towards the
principles of socialism.
The cartoon referred to is one
which represents Columbia sever
ing the body of 1.-THE scorpion of
anarchy" while on the opposite
side "the octopus of monopoly"
remains undisturbed with listen
tacles wound securely around the
industries of the country. The
scorpion of anarchy is repre-
sented as a very diminutive and
harmless affair compared to the
creature typi6ed as monopoly.
AS small straw as this is it in
dicates a great deal. But a very
few months ago nothing of the
KIND would have been dreampt of
as appearing in the essentially
better class" journal published
by the Harpers. But public opin-
ion is actually forcing the very Or
gans of monopoly to, in a meas
ure, change their tune.
That which the labor press has
contended for and for which il
has been ridiculed and CON-
demned by the rogues of monop-
olists for years past, is now being
taken up and endorsed by the
very organs Of the Doodle classes
In this connection it might be
menti ,ned that one of the CANT
talist papers of this city { Repn6H-

AVOID POwDERLY's MISTAKES.

1t is to be hoped that the crowd
of politicians that surrounded Mr..
Powderly on the evening of his
lecture here last spring will be
conspicuous by its absence on the
evening that Samuel Gompers ad-
dresses the labor people of this
city.
He comes here as the represen-
tative of the hard-6sted toilers.
and, coming in that capacity, he
should be surrounded by his own
kind of people-the men who toll
and not, as Mr.. Powderly was,
by politicians. priests and preach
ers who have the same interest in
the welfare Of the workingman
that the wolf has in the welfare
and prosperity of the sheep upon
which he, lazy, sharp-witted
schemer that he is, lives in idle
ness and plenty.
The men who occupy the plat
form next Thursday evening with
the president of the Federated
Trades should be taken from the
shops and factories of Denver and
not, as was the case to a large ex-
tent when Mr.. Powderly lectured
here, from the Offices and pulpits.
The ENQUIRER offers this bit of
advice only for the purpose of Sc
curing good results for organized
labor from the visit of Mr..
Gompers to our city.

ItsaR> hardly be wondered at
that charges of rotteness are made
against courts and judges when
such men as District Attorney
Rhodes are part of the machinery
of the courts. The World charges
him with being grmbler, a black
leg and frequenter of "nigger
prize fights" The last charge is
based upon the fact. as alleged,
that the district attorney was a
very Interested participant in the
festivities attending the prize
fight between the negros last week
on the outskirts of the county.
And yet two "law'n'order" gang
say the working people have nc
reason to charge. as they always
do, that the whole machinery Of
our judicial system is corrupt and
rotten to its very core.

A kENrucHyboodler in congress
has introduced a bill ito prevent
combinations for the purpose of
regulating the price of stocks,

scheme to down the labor organi.

The passage of a measure of this
kind would help on the radical
agitation wonderfully. Looking
at it from this standpoint it is a
desirable consummation. The
more repressive the laws the
quicker the common herd will
awaken.

AN HONEST NAN AT WASHINGTON

The discussion in the house on
Wednesday, on the appointment
of a special committee to investi-
gate the Reading strike, revealed
the fact that there is at least one
man in Washington who dares to
hit the corporations a blow be-
tween the eyes.
The railroad employees in the
house wanted the Reading investi-
cation left to the interstate COM
merce commission. knowing that
the railroad interests would not
suffer at its hands, and that at the
most it would be pigeon-holed till
the Reading employees were
starved into submission.
Representative Rayner of Mary
land said: The Reading road
has broken and violated the SOL
emn compact which it made with
its employees. and now it COM
mands them to surrender under a
threat ofproclaiming to the Amer
lean people that this great tribu
tary to commerce shall be closed
and that not ton of traffic shall
be freighted over.its road. Con-
gress has power beyond that

that there will be passed, behind

DR.. McGLyNN charges that the
Knights of Labor treasury was
used to defray the expenses Of
Cardinal Gibbons when he went
to Rome some months ago; and
also that Gibbons went to do some
work for Powderly. Powderly
says that it is not true. The
chances are that it is true, as Pow
derby was compelled to admit at
Minneapolis that he had laid the
whole X. of l.. secret work" bare
to Gibbons and that the latter re-
ported favorably after he had
studied the matter. 1t is more
than likely that that was only the
