THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE

Sing inward, @, gates of the future!
Swing outward, We doors of the past!
For the soul of the people is moving
And rising from slumbering at last.
The black forms OF night are retreatiug,
And white peaks have signaled the day,
And Freedom her long roll is beating,
And calling her sons to the fray.
Swing inward, o, gates! till the morning
Shall paint the brown mountains in gold,
Till the life and the love of the New Time
Shall conquer the hate of the Old.
Let the face and the hand of the Master
No longer be hidden from view,
Nor the lands He prepared for the many
Be trampled and robbed by the few.
The soil tells the same fruitful story,
The seasons their bounties display,
And the flowers lift their faces in glory
To catch the warm kiss of the day;
While our fellows are treated as cattle
That are muzzled when treading the corn,
And millions sink down in LIES battle
With q sigh for the day they were born.
And woe to the robbers who gather
In fields where they never have sown,
Who have stolen the jewels from labor
And builded to Mammon throne;
For the snow king, asleep by the fountains,
Shall wake in the summers hot breath,
And descend in his iage from the mountains,
Bearing terror, destruction and death.
JONES II. CLurk

not only the principles but the exact scope
and Language Of the law by which they
are TO be governed and regulated, but fur
thermore that he is to Be their agent IN
presenting and forcing it through the legis-
iature.
There have been many brazen and
shameless aspects Of official life and Of
legislation in this country, but for au-
dacious cffrontery on the one hand, and
meek acceptance of disgraceful role on
the other hand, this proceeding caps the
climax. II with such . record-official
and beyond contradiction--staring them
in the face, the Prohibitionists Of New
York keep up an organization which can
only inure to the benefit of Hill and his
party, they must confess that they do so
with stubborn and reckless disregard for
the principles not only of temperance but
of decency. But for their course hereto
fore this association would not have dared
to proclaim, nor Hill to tacitly admit, the
disgraceful relations revealed by the above
quoted report.

OUR MILITARY STRENGTH.

The Secretary of War has just issued his
annual statement Of the militia organize
tion of the several states, together with es-
Inmates Of the number available for milf
tary duty. Some features Of the report
furnish matter for surprise, and the whole
will attract general interest. The whole
number available for military duty, with
few states failing to report on this point,
foots up 1906, 242 OF these but surpris-
ingly small fraction--only o60, 269-are en-
rolled in the organized militia.
The number thus organized in each Of
the states 10 reported to be as follows:
Alabama, 1854; Arkansas, no returns; Califor-
dia, $40; Colombo, $50: Connecticut, 2,627;
Delaware, 564: Florida COS: Georgia, 40l1; Idaho,
3os; Illinois, 3,722; Indiana, 2,l66; Iowa, 2,521;
Kansas. 1,s59; Kentucky, l,SlG; Louisiana, 1,66S;
Maine, 1.094; Maryland, 2,cs6; Massachusetts,,
$3.50; Michigan, 2,49l; Minnesota, 1907; Missis-
sippi, ISIS; Missouri, 2i6l; Montana, 677: Ne
braska, 1,sSl; Nevada, SIS; New Hampshire,
lilo; New Jersey, 1901; New York, 1910;
North Carolina, Las; North Dakota, SIS; Ohio,
5,l10 Oregon, 1,70l; Pennsylvania, S,444; Rhode
Island, 1,3xe: South Carolina, 5,clS; South Da-
kota, 49s; Tennessee. no return; Texas, 1851;
Vermont, 5s4; Virginia. 2,S0s: Washington, Jas;
"css siIBsnlAs osos "iscousius >sooS, "yoSs1u6s
24s
From this it will be observed that the
state Of Washington takes the lead Of
Maine. New Hampshire and West vir-
ginia, and is close upon the heels of Kan
sas, Kentucky, Minnesota and North
Carolina. But the largest enrolment in
proportion to population is in South
Carolina, which goes to show that the
military spirit has survived the war down
there, and this is still further shown by
the fact that irrespective of population
she heads the list of states with the larg-
est cavalry and artillery forces, The former
numbering 1,413 and the latter 532 men.
Massachusetts,, in which survival of
revolutionary spirit probably accounts for
it, is next to South Carolina in enr0llment
proportionate to population, with her
total of 5,2S9-235 cavalry, 1888 artillery
and 21S in naval battalion. New York
falls away behind these, having but 1876
men in cavalry and artillery combined,
and Ohio. although reporting 500 artillery
men, has but GO cavalry.
But with a nucleus of more than one
hundred thousand enrolled and drilled
militia, and an available force of moro
than seven million to draw upon in case Of
an emergency, it is perfectly safe to claim
that ours is one of the most formidable
military powers the world has ever seen.
And the quality excels the quantity.

By request we republish Mr. Cleveland's silver
letter in full, as follows:
Ny Dear Sir: have this afternoon received
your note inviting me to attend tomorrow even
ing meeting called for the purpose of voicing
the opposition OF the business men of our city
to ''the free coinage of silver in the United
States" shall not be able to attend and ad-
dress the meeting as you request, but am glad
that the business interests OF New York are at
last to be heard on the subject 1t surely cam
not be necessary for me to make q formal ex-
preston of my agreement with those who be-
lieve that the greatest perils would be initiated
by the adoption of the scheme embraced in the
measure now pending in congress for an I'M
limited coinage of silver at our mints If we
have developed an unexpected capacity for the
assimilation of largely increased volume OF
the currency, and even ii we have demonstrated
the usefulness OF such an increase, these condi-
tons fall short of insuring US against disaster
ii in the present situation we enter upon the
limited and independent silver coinage.

From New York comes the suggestion of
a plan for working miracles in this West
ern country by putting to use the genus
'.hobo" in a manner that would be bene-
fetal to the community. DR.. Allen, dean
of the New York homeopathic college and
hospital, recently published an offer of
$40 per week to persons willing to take
poison systematically in the interest of
science. His demand has been fully sup
piled, mostly by young physicians of either
sex, and in one case young doctor and
his wife made a joint engagement. 1t
would be pity if the experiments should
result fatally in these cases, which makes
obvious the superiority of the hobo propo-
sition. In the latter case it would be
simply question of a contribution TO
science or to social order.

In the city of New York, few days
ago, a revelation was made which might
well have brought a flush to the cheek Of
Governor Hill, even though it be as i'm
pervious to such manifestations as is that
Of the venerable sphinx in Egyp's sands.
That revelation made it evident that the
Governor of the chief state in our Union
and prominent as Democratic candidate
for the presidency, is q recognized and
subservient tool of the Liquor Dealers
Association of that state, whose sub
serviency they do not hesitate to make
public.
The state committee of that association
held called meeting on the 18th instant,
which is fully reported in the Wine aud
Spirit Gaseste, which states that "the
attendance was very large, nearly every
association in the state being repre-
sented." The object Of the meeting, it
says. was to take final action on the new
excise bill which the dealers have pre-
pared and would like to see enacted" But
the remarkable part of the report is that
after the bill had been carefully read by
sections and approved by the committee, .
resolution was adopted that it '.be sub
mitted to Governor H;ll, leaving the
Governor the choice of the member of the
legislature who is to introduce il in the
Assembly or in the Senate"
This Was published not only in the organ
Of the association, but was copied into all
or most of the leading journals of the me
tropolis, and its implication was neither
resented or denied by the Governor nor
any Of his friends. 1t conveys an open
and audacious intimation that the Gov
ernor not only looks to these people to
araft their own excise law; TO dictate

NOT SO BAD.

This world Is not so bad world
As some would like to make it,
But, whether good or whether bad.
Depends on how we take 1t.
We may allow our lives to be
Corrupted by the vicious,
Or find, among the good and true,
Companionships delicious.
So. Varus, to that better part
Let's drink Falernian mellow,
And then we'll pledge our hands and heart
To every honest fellow.
And when we've toasted, one BY one.
The honest, true and bold ones,
Well do the same by all the girls
The young ones and the old ones.
