THE SECRET BALLOT BILL.

The Veto of the Honest Ballot bill by Governor Bulkeley, although not ex- pected by too sanguine supporters of it, was the most natural thing in the world. Just as natural as it was for Demagogue Hill to veto the New York State Saxton bill. Both Bulkeley and Hill are politi- cians of the same degree of honor-one a republican" and the other "demo- crat.' Both knew that with an honest system of voting such as they would find their highest oilise near the bung- hole of the most available whisky bar rel. Bulkeley's methods of getting votes in Hartford are well known-he has a democratic" contingent which he buys with an excursion or a 'jamboree" every season. No charge for absolution.
 The fact that the Legislature passed the bill was not proof that they meant it should become law. Bulkeley may have been instructed by his party man agers to veto the bill, and thus make complications. The attempts to amend the bill after it had been vetoed were only further dishonest acts, for we'll they knew that if the bill was to pass over the Governors veto, 1t must pass in it's original form
 As we go to press, an effort is being made to introduce the amended bill, making t operative only in State repre- sentatives, etc, and Presidential cleo tions. The Senate will undoubtedly sustain Bulkeley's veto, on the ground that vetoed bills cannot be amended
 The republican" members, being in the majority, must ali be held respon- sible-the party is responsible. The fiji clustering of the "demoCrats' would amount to nothing if the republicans were honest.
 The whole scheme of the politicians thus appears on the surface. That Se- cret Ballot Bill was too much of a "corker" for the rasCals who manipu- late the elections, be they the creatures of the republican" or of the "demo- cratic" wing of capitalism.
 When will the honest voters-the rank and file of all parties, learn that there is nothing to hope for from the corrupt machine they have kept in mo. ton so long? Year after year have they thrown their votes away, and reaped the harvest of bad times and continued wage slavery or enforced idle. ness. The miserable tools of private capital well know that an opportunity for few years for honest:politics would tend to work out the peoples emancipa' ton.
 Let the Socialists of Connecticut labor harder than ever to spread the literature of our Party, and organize the best peo- pie of the State into Sections. Let them know how it is that they have been duped again and again by the anarchic practices of the political machines they have sworn by" so long.

A JUDICIAL CONFESSION.

Judge Prendergast, of Chicago, re- gently sentenced a man who had been convicted of complicity in ballot-box stuffing in that city. In delivering the sentence the Judge said: "The result of the ballot-boX stutling in the Fourteenth Ward some years ago, which the Con- mon Council refused at all times to rec tfy. was perhaps as potent a factor as anything else in bringing about the bomb throwing at the Haymarket, May 1, 1886. The people who were cheated out of their rights, being unable to ob- tain their remedy by law, then pro- ceeded by agitating force In conclu- sion he said: ''lt is unfortunate that when man commits an ofense at the instigation of somebody higher than himself a false sense of honor should keep him from revealing the identity of the party for whom he became tool. " It is not dishonor but vindication, when a man charged with committing an ollense tells who prevailed upon him to do it. Had it not been that in Chi Cago crimes against the ballot bore bad effects heretofore, the punishment in this case would not have been so severe. Men standing high in the world of pol itics have winked at and condoned crimes, while many of them resorted to such methods as forging returns, sub- stituting tally-sheets, etc., for the pur' pose of thwarting the will of the peo. l pie. - Western II 0tchmdH

COMPETITION.
overF

Now and then l feel moved to eX- press myself on the industrial an archy now prevailing, but l gener- ally suppress my inclinatlons and resume my work, which seems necessary, if l would comply with the law, and provide for the little household that looks to me for the means to "pursue happiness. There IS such an unlimited amount of stupidity on the part of the tollers wherever Christian civilization holds sway, that protest from me seems like persuading Nesuvlus when in active eruption with bar ber's spray.
 The young and hopeful merchant or manufacturer enters the race full of life and hope, cheering him self with the two old saws, "compe- tition is the life of trade," and "there is always room on top" and winds up in one of three ways in a brief period: He looses conscience and becomes mercenary robber; he steps out through the trap-door of bankruptcy, or, shamod by his inability to successfully "compete,
 he blows out his brains with 38- calibre pistol. There have been lots of the latter in the past year, but there will be more in the year to come.
 "Competition" n"-repeat the word; weigh 1t; trip 1t on the tongue what does 1t mean? What IS the
 inspiration that comes from 1t Hunt up the dictionary's definition. Does 1t mean that maN IS to enter the race with the locomotive? Oh, no, but with fingers of steel, tongs of brass that he uses. It means, as interpreted by the priests and states
 men of to-day, that the toilers of the earth shall compete with each other, to see how mnch they can produce of good things, and how lHle they will consume of what they produce, the surplus going to feed the three headed dragon of usury, profit and rent. What an inspiration Gerald
 Massey must have had when he wrote
 "The Church and State are linked as one to desolate the land" l see

 and the oily-tongucl otlice-holder, who plays so successfully on the string of patriotism. One uses su, perstition, and the other, patriotism. The object of each Is the same. If you dare mention "co-opera- tlon," or suggest a SyStcm instead o1
 the wasteful and idiotic methods o1 the prevailing industrial anarchy, the priest will put on his gown ant
