, citizens should should shout over the In
crease of wealth Of the other three-hun-
dredth-thelr bankers, rRilroaders and
manufacturers.
A great boomerang to the party in
power will be the eleventh census, II ever
completed. 1t will show a vast aggrega-
tion of wealth in the hands of the few,
ard the detrimental effect which this ag-
gregation has had upon the industrial
and agricultural classes. It will show,
PLAIN as proof of Holy Writs, the fostering
care which the government has bestowed
upon the banker, the railroad owner and
the manufacturer, and the utter neglect
Of the interests Of the farmer and the
laborer. 1t will show the gulf between
the patricisn and the plebeisn growing
broader and deeper during the past de-
cade. The earnest reformer of things
politically evil will need no textbook but
Mr.. Porter's eleventh census report, and
not having that in time for use next year,
will be able to proceed very nicely with
the bulletins that are being sent out.

HE WILL HAVE TO TRY AGAIN.

HE WILL HAVE TO TRY AGAIN,
From the New Nation.
A lady writes to the Open Court, Of
Chicago, as follows:
Can any philosopher specify what partio-
ular right or piece of liberty he now enjoys
which natiOnalism must necessarily wrest
from him2 Suppose the nation should as
sumo control Of the telegraphs, as Mr..
Wsnamaker recommends, and messages be
sent at cost, what would happen to our lib
ertyp
The philosopher who comes forward to
reply is F. NJ. Holland, and his answer is
as follows:
We have just seen a president, who was
very far from being the most popular man
in his party, renominated by delegates
whose votes he had secured by giving places
to them and their friends. Whether he is
elected will depend largely on how hard his
ofiCe-hOlders work for him. If nationslism
should give the next president command
over all the telegraph operators and railroad
men, his power TO get himself renOminated
and reelected would be three or four times
as great as at present. He could have an
other term with little opposition, OF sell the
succession on his own terms.
What reason has Mr.. Holland to sup
pose that nationalism would give the
president, or any other official, power
over telegraph operators and railroad
workersY That is the way things are run
now in this country, no doubt; but 1t is
precisely because they are so run that
nationslism is coming to reform them.
It Is funny sort of logic that points TO
the abuses of the existing system as an
argument against changing 1t. In no
single respect would nationalism so imme-
diately and completely change the pres
ent system as in respect to the tenure of
their positions by public employees. 1t
might, indeed, be roughly defined as q
plan to provide every man with a job |
adapted to powers aud guarantee it to |
him during good behavior.
Under nationRlism the president would |
have no more power over the appoint
ment, promotion or dismissal of public
except the heads of great de-
partmentS, than he now has over the pri.
Vate affairs of the man In the moon.
Does this seem "an iridescent
On the contrary, it is an ideal
that does not even need to wait for ma
tionalism to be attained. It already Is an
accomplished fact In the civil service Of
Great Britain and India. When Glad
stone takes Office as prime minister next
month he will have power to fill but
slxty-fve Offices.
Would Mr.. Holland Ike some assur-
ance other than the NetO Nations as to
the policy which. the Nstionalists intend
10 pursue as to public offices when they
come to power? Let him then read the

STILL a MYSTERY.
Conflicting Reports About the Firing from,
Trai, Upon Militia.

connecting tsPDOrSS ABOUT the FIRING from
Train Upon Militia.
HoNEsTEAp. Pa. Aug. 19.-All was
quiet here yesterday, and but very few
of the lockedout men were to be seen
upon the streets A careful investiga-
ton of Wednesday nights shooting at
the railroad bridge has not yet entirely
cleared the mystery. The crew of the
freight train from which the first shots
were said to have come, swear posi-
lively that there were no persons on
the train aside from themselves; that
the supposed shots were caused by the
explosion of signal torpedoes placed
upon the track by shifting crew.
Supt. Potter maintains that the shots
came from revolvers fired from between
the freight cars: that bullet struck
right in the midst of a squad of militia
men who were doing picket duty along
the river front. In all 125 shots were
fired at the train by the soldiers, but
fortunately no one was injured.
Another detail of soldiers patroled
the streets near the mill for two hours
yesterday morning, but found nothing
in the nature of a disturbance. An I'M
successful attempt was made to assault
Supt. Potter Wednesday night while he
was sitting on his porch.
