MANY of our public men measure
the prosperity Of the country by the
annual increase of wealth. Under
Just laws such a measurement would
be right; but how do we find the
masses? The end of each year finds
the wealth of the nation increased
by hundreds of millions. The wage
workers have been on the tread-miIl
the whole year, and at the end,
with having had bat scanty living
from their continuous toll, they be-
hold the few reveling in Injuries.
A nation, state, a community can
not be prosperous when the vast
body Of it's citizens must bend their
backs to unceasing, poorly-paid toll.
That nation, or state, or community
only is really prosperous when all
have had, throughout the year, an
abundance Of justly-paid work, and
when none are becoming million
aires or paupers. While the major
part of the profits go into the pockets
of the few, and those who make the
wealth are compelled to stent to the
bare necessities, they are rapidly
paving the way to the poor-house
and pauperdom. Genuine prosperi
ty can be found alone where there
is fair distribution of the profits of
labor. Where there is one lord and
ten vassals, there will be, after
awhile, one coupon-clipper and ten
paupers. Measuse and measure
goes with poverty.

tory 1t cannot be downed. Its

Ocean certainly realizes that the
people have been studying the rec
ord of the Republican party, and see
there written, with the tears of the
downtrodden, such annals of OPP
preston as the exception clause, the
credit strengthening act, the re-
sumption act, back-salary grab, the
the decentralization of silver, and nu-
merous other like acts. Yes, they are
being studied, and the man who can
point to them with pride can be hail

A CAREFUL reading of the finale of
the trial of Critchlow, charged with
murder in connection with the
Homestead strike, forces the convic-
ton that Judge Kennedy failed in
his service to his master, Prick.
Critchlow's case was submitted to
the Judgment of twelve of mis- peers,
who, aft + due deliberation, declared
that he was not guilty. At this
Judge Kennedy was visibly dis
turbed. Why he should be dis
turbed at the verdict of acquittal If
he did not desire his conviction will
ever remain query. 1t is a judges
office to interpret the law, not to
convict the accused, and when
Judge is disconnected at verdict
of acquittal, there is left the pre-
sumption that he desired conviction.
What a travesty is such scene on
American jurisprudence.

The Leavenworth Times "Sage OF

ever SO taught. No one expects to
change the morals of thief by leg
isation, but some persons do be-
live and teach that the laws against
theft by rich men, under cover OF
law, is the browning farce of the
day. The poor devil who steals
from necessity to satisfy the demands
of hunger is given without stint all
there is in the law for his petty
theft, while the purloiner of thous-
ands, if he uses a little of his ilIy.ac
quired gains "iudiciously," is feted
and toasted and freed. The science
of modern criminal law is wonder
full thing.

There are some time-tried and
musty customs which "diviner
civilization" will relegate to the an
tiquary, among which is the power
given men to say how the world
shall be run after they are in eteral-
ty. The laws allowing men to tell
how their property shall be used
when they can no longer use it
should be stricken from the statute
books. Our fathers, in their wis
dom, the result Of observations OF
the workings Of the English law of
entailnent, Incorporated in our or
ganic law an express provision
against such law. The laws per-
hitting the making of wills is al
most as great an evil, for, through
them, the law 'f primogeniture is
practically in force The fortunes
of the Astors, Vanderbilts, Sages
and others are kept intact by the
American law of primogeniture, and
are acquiring power which sets at
defiance all laws for their control.
Had there been no such law IN the
statute books of the state of New
York, Jay Gould could not have
made provisions whereby the Gould
family could forge shackles for tens
of thousancs of unsuspecting Amer
leans. Some late writer's have eX-
pressed the fear that under our pres
ent system of "devil law" billion
aire is the possibility, and probablli-
ty, of the next fifty years. Such is
really probable in much less than
fifty years by the growing preva-
lence of entailment by will. Some
few states have state inheritance tax
laws, and these laws will and do, to
some extent, reduce the vast es-
tates. Such estates as we have no.
ted arc menace to the liberties of
the people, and many of our best
men are looking about for measures
to curtail their power. Their pow
ers cannot be curtailed so long as
they can be entailed by will. When
men are dead their voice in the gov
eminent should be silenced by laws
which attend them to the threshold
of eternity. The world can be gov
erned without any of their ante
mortem provisions.

SIX /: PAGES.

If Mr.. Harrison, in his long delayed
letter accepting the republican nomina-
ton for president, which he moved
Heaven and earth to secure, had simply
said, 81 accept" he would have led some
people to believe that he was a states
man and not the miserable, petty parti-
san that each one of the 5000 words that
he used, proves him still further TO be.
The letter is simply the special plead
ings OF a pettifogger, without redeem
ing feature akin to craftsmanship. Ii is
nothing more nor less than cunningly
made vote trap, set so as to catch 'em a
coming and s'gwine. He pulls the wool
over the eyes Of the farmers, tries to fool
the laboring men with platitudes about
protection, which at least does not pro-
tect them, tickles the silver men, proves
himself tin-plate liar and so on ad
nauseam. Fearing the effects OF an adj
vocacy of the force bill, he touches the
matter rather gineerly and hopes that
the States may be able to regulate the
suffrage question so as to insure each
man free vote fairly counted. His
impractical mon partisan commission"
to deal with the question is again aired
and he promises to again urge Congress
to provide for the appointment of one.
The paper is full of abuse OF the demo.
cratic party, whose return to power
would wreck the financial interests of
the country. The letter is not calculated |
to raise the respect OF thoughtful people
for the man who holds the highest Office
in their gift.
