1t Can Never Be.

That sagacious observer and clear thinker.
Mr.. MATTHEW MARSHALL. is OF the opinion
that the present tendency OF society is to-
ward a complete organization OF oil work
ingmen on one side. confronting n COM
plete organization of employers on the
other" and that the dealings between
the two forces. which may be called
respectively Labor and Capital. will
come to resemble dealings between SOW
creign nations. "The individual work.
man will be reduced to tho position of the
individual citizen Of nation. and like him
have to submit to the will OF the majority.
no matter what may be his individual
preferences"
Such an outlook Is not pleasing to the in
dependent notions Of MATTHEW MARSHALL.
and 1t must be repulsive to every man who
loves liberty and hates tyranny. II tho
opposing forces OF Labor and Capital be
thus organized We shall have two distinct
and fixed classes. Tho man who works
for wages will not be an individual free to
govern his own affairs. but a member OF
the class OF Labor and subject to its domi-
nation. He may as well be designated by
number us by an individual name.
man will be likely TO belong to it always.
Son will follow father. and the chances Of
advancement which hitherto have stimu-
lated ambition and provoked industry and
thrift will be- reduced greatly il not de-
stroyed. The tendency will be toward
class uniformity. Individual enterprise
will DO discouraged in tho workman. He
will be fastened to the class OF Labor and
will have to submit to it's decisions AS
the class OF Capital will be his enemy.
80 it will treat him rs its enemy.
Neither will have any sense of obliga-
ton to the other. There will be no human
sympathy between them. 1t will be as II
tho race OF men were divided into two diff
ferent and distinct species. tho employers
and the workers.
Every man will be born into the one
class or the other. and his classification
will remain and be distingushable. II he
Is not capitalist. he will have to join a
labor union in order to get his bread; and
he will DO obliged to submit 20 its laws
He will have no freedom. He will be bound
down to his class.
Can such a state Of society ever come tt

The Southern and border States with
population of 2l6Gl. 1916 "a little In excess OF
the North and Northwest. have three agen-
ccs and only 100000 pensioners. In other
words. the Western States appear to be moro
Interested In pension legislation than. rs we
have said, are the States OF the South and
East. and the Republicans in Congress have
shown themselves most solicitous for the
Western applicants. as was shown by the
act OF 1872 whereby the largest volume Of
increase was in the Western and the least
in the Eastern territory. Thus 1900 names
were added to the roll at tho Columbus
agency. against $500 at Boston: 1000 in
Topeka against 1920 in New York. and
1000 in Chicago against 9iS in Augusta.
Ohio had. according to the latest report
at hand. 5000 more pensioners than New
York aad Indiana 5000 to New York's Co.
O0o. though Indiana's population is 100000
and New York's G,OO0.000. The multiplied
ton of pension charges against the Treas

dictated by indubitable evidence OF justice
and fair dealing. appears to be equally

The Case Of the Punished Soldier.

We have received a number Of letters con-
demning. in terms more or less vehement.
the punishment inflicted upon private
soldier In the camp at Homestead. for pub
licly rejoicing In the attempt to murder Mr..
FRIcK. The subjoined Ii specimen OF
these letters:

dteipns or will It not tend to increase the natural
bstrod that the people have for the military powerf"
In order to Judge Alright the conduct
OF Col. SrREAToR and Gen. SNowDKN
In this case. 1t would be necessary
to understand the military law OF Penn
sylvania and to know whether the
punishment OF holding up by tho thumbs
10 allowed in 1t. 1t Is nm old military pun
ishment. and 1t may still be retained ns a
part Of the code OF Pennsylvania: and the
presumption that 1t Ia In force there Is
strengthened by the fact that Gen. SNOW
DEN. who certainly must be familiar with
the whole subject. approved Of 1t and added
to II tho additional punishment OF having
half the head shaved and being drummed
out OF camp and dismissed In disgrace from
the military service Of the State. which car
ries with 1t political Acknowledgement.
Was this punishment oowardly and In
human, as our correspondent alleges. or
was 1t merely adequate to the offence that
had been committed2 That offence was Of
tho most serious character, and to
pass 1t over would have been to
abandon any idea Of maintaining
discipline In the camp. An attempt at MUIR
der had been made. Mr.. Prick had been
shot three times In the back. and had been
stabbed with knife In several places. So
far o. the assassin was concerned. the at
tempt was complete. and only good for
tuae ana remarkable activity and tenacity
had saved the life OF Mr.. Prick. When the
soldier declared that he was glad that this
murder had been attempted. he declared
himself In full sympathy with the murderer
He adopted the murder as his own. He
praised 1t. He gloried In it. 1t Is vain to
argue that this is free country and that
he had a right to express his opinion. Nc
man can have n right to glory in murder
or to incite others to commit murder. Least
OF all can this be allowed in a soldier who is
under arms to prevent murder.
II Is evident that soldier like this was

can assure this critic that there Is literary

constantly appearing. We could not. without
seeming to be invidious. give n list OF the re-

but we are sure that by looking over the city

memory. we could name q full thousand OF
them, q thousand men and women who de-
serve celebrity rs authors OF works in prose

any good literary catalogue containing the

during tho present generation. and no will

there are writers OF quality among them.
