Stuff and Nonsense.

Bellamy is accused of taking his book,
Looking Backward" from an old Ger
man author named Bebel, who wrote a
novel on the same lines entitled "Wom-
en-, Present ard Future" Bellamy meets
the charge with the statement that he
cannot read German and never heard of
Bebel.-Daily Paper.
Bellamy never said any such thing,
for he has certainly read the English
translation of Bebels book. And any
one who has read "Bebel's Woman" as
it is called, knows there is not the slight
est suggestion in it of the doctrine laid
down in Looking Backward" Thus do
newspapers generally ''refect the public
mind"

POVERTY AND PLUTocRAcY.
A Glance at Our Present Strained Social
Condition.

A Glance at Our Present Strained Social
Condition.
Because wage earners, as q class, en-
joy today more of the good things of life
than ever before, by some it is argued
that in their condition there is nothing
of which they may reasonably complain.
But the question concerning the wage
earning class that is up for discussion,
as fair minded persons will perceive, is
not whether they enjoy more of the
wealth they produce than heretofore,
but whether they enjoy all they are en-
titled to-
Economically the situation is unstable.
Oar present system of holding land, IN
der which probably three-fourths of all
the land in this country, for speculative
purposes, is held out of use, thus produc-
ing rent and u powerful class of nom
laboring rent takers; our present system
of issuing money, by which the circulat-
ing medium of the country is monopo-
lized for the benefit of the bondholders
and the creditor class generally, thus
producing interest and another powerful
class of non-laboring interest takers, and
the complete subserviency of the law
makers, editors and clergymen, as rule,
to these two powerful classes, resulting
in multitudinous laws intended to favor
the cunning operations of those who live
by plundering wealth producers by
means of the legal manipulation of cap
ital and the fostering of public opinion
favorable to such legislation, have
brought nearly to elimination social
system that must end in benefcent
change, the complete enslavement of
wage earners or war.
What the outcome will be no man
can prophesy. Economic education may
be so rapid that needful notifications
will be made, or stupid Indifference may
lull the mass of the people into q care
lessness that will be punished by COM
plete industrial servitude-a mighty
plutocracy living in unparalleled splen-
dor, with millions of human drudges
providing them with whatever their Vi
tiated tastes may demand; or an increase
of the power and impudence of the cap
italists may lash an awakened and out
ragged people into fury that will express
itself in bloody and dreadful war. n
Will there be any considerable change
in the situation by which the next gen.
GRAFTON will benefit? believe there will.
1 think the industrial system will not
last fifty years longer. 1t will be peace
fully improved or violently overthrown
to give place to a better. That our civil
ization, like some civilizations of the
past, will be utterly destroyed is not
probable. What changes come are
likely to be improvements, and some
great accomplishment for the social bet
terment of men will probably occur
within the next fifty years. The only
question is whether the improvement
will come through evolution or revo-
luton. Through evolution, hope;
through revolution, I fear.-Hugh o.
Pentecost in Arena.

Pushing Things.

A dispatch from Washington says:
Senator Ingalls,, by request of the Wage
Workers Political Alliance of Washing
ton, has introduced bill to establish an
executive department of communication
"for the purpose of transmitting the
communications of the people at cost"
The bill creates secretary, whose duty
it shall bo to seize, condemn, purchase
and operate at cost all telegraph and
telegraph systems in the United States,
and SO to extend and perfect the system
of communication that each house, vot-
ing precinct and public park will be
coined as in IL whispering gallery" No
person shall be employed in this depart
ment who is not member of the Grand
Army of Labor. The money necessary
to carry out the proposed legislation is
appropriated by the bill. The bill also
merges the postofice system into the de-
partnent of communication.

Unions of brotherhood Carpenters.

New York state heads the list with
95 unions; Pennsylvania comes next
with 80 unions, and Massachusetts, is
third with SO unions. Illinois also has
so unions and Ohio has 40 unions.
The reports show over half the local
unions charge S. or more initiation fee
some charge as high as $25. In rs per
cent. of the unions the dues are so cents
or more per month, while the large pro-
portion hold weekly meetings and pay
sick benefits of 81 to So per week for
period of from ten to twenty-six weeks
per year. The wages range from $1.75
to $3.50-the general average is $3.50 to
50 per day-anS most of our unions now
work either eight or nine hours per day.

DemOcratic CussednaSS-

Consistent with its usual practice of
glorying in its undemocratic position
(while the Republican party tries to
hide its infamy), the Democratic party
of Nebraska thus declares itself on the
pending Prohibition amendment:
THE Democratic party has record
of opposition to all sumptuary legisla-
ton. 1t does not believe that the social
habits Of the people are proper subjects
for constitutional provisions. High
license and local option, however, have
been tried in Nebraska and have given
satisfaction to majority of the people.
AS between them and Prohibition the
Democratic party is unreservedly in IA
vor of the former, and attention is here
by called to the hypocrisy of the Repub-
hcan party, which, having caused the
questions to be submitted to a popular
vote, thereby creating uncertainty, in
juring business, unsettling values and
depressing trade, purposely lodged the
issue in the last convention and neglect
ed to say where it could be found as
party on these questions in the coming
election.

To Remedy the Noise of Engines.

Many suggestions have been made for
remedying the vibration and noise at
tendant on the working of the big en-
gines which are employed to run dyna-
mos. A plan which has given great salts
faction is to build hair felt into the
foundations of the engine. An electric
company has just had one of its ninety
horse power engines removed from its
foundations, which We're then taken up
to the depth of four feet. A layer of felt
five inches thick was then placed ON the
foundations and run up two feet on all
sides, and on the top of this the brick
work was built up. The cost of the alter
ations was about $500. New Y ork Letter.

One of the Mysteries,

This world is full of inexplicable mys-
teries. Helpless children are crying for
something to eat and growing up In ig-
norance because they have no clothing
in which to go to school and no money
to procure books. Yet some men who
say their prayers three times a day go
and pay 81 900 for dog. The children,
poor things, can go to the bad for all
they care, but the dog must be paid for
at any cost A cur is of more value in
their eyes than many children.-Farm-
ers' Friend.

Democratic Evidence.

The Democrats occupy tenable and
firm ground as to the liquor question.
They are opposed to sumptuary laws,
and are against Prohibition. The Re
publicans have played fast and loose
with the temperance people until the
great German vote is gone from them
forever.-Henry Watterson in Leslie's
Weekly of July 10.

John Burns says that it is mistake to
think that the strikes of the police, post
men and military of London are over.
The discomfort is greater than ever be-
fore, and there will be no permanent
peace until the government heeds the de-
mands of the men. John L. Mahon, for
merly lecturer of the Social League
and the Democratic Federation, is secre-
tary Of the Postmen's union.

A correspondent of The New York Sun

A correspondent of The New York Sun
suggests that sheds be constructed by
employers so that their workmen may
nave sheltered place in which to eat
their dinner. The Sun says that if the
workingman sits in the rain or sun to
eat his monday meal, and swallows his
cold grub without wine, beer or lemon
ade, it is because he prefers so to do, and
he is envied by the dyspeptic capitalist.
