ST. Louis Republic: The Republic hopes ana
believes it will be possible to check this grow

tocracv But if it is not possible peaceaDiy,
it will still be possible For whenever the plu-

New York Morning Advertiser: The son OF
old Allen G.. Thurman, the WarhorSe Of Ohio
democracy, is begging consulate at the
hands of President Cleveland. 1t is hoped
that he will fare better than his father did
during Mr.. Cleveland's first term. When
Mr.. Cleveland was asked to give the venerable
Allen G.. Thurman a seat in his cabinet he
said that Mr.. L. was too old. When urged
to send him minister to England or France
he said that his habits were bad. He ignored
him and his great services to the democratic
party entirely. -Four years later, when it be-
came necessary to stir up the democratic
heart of the country Mr.. Cleveland urged Mr..
Thurman to accept the nomination for vice
president on his ticket. Mr.. Thurman did
50, and went down to defeat. Mr.. Cleveland
certainly owes the something.
St Louis Republic: In the absence of con-
tract an American citizen has right to quit
work when he pleases. And even when he is
working under contract he cannot be law
fully or rightly imprisoned for violating it on
the preteXt that such Il violation is con-
tempt of court IAN interference with COM
merce." The action taken against him must
be for damages in the regular way ana II
Judgment against him is rendered his property
and not his person must be held TO satisfy
the debt. This new doctrine that q citizen OF
the United States may be imprisoned for
changing from one employer to another with
out the consent of a federal judge will not be
accepted by Americans, They will resist it to
any extremity it is necessary TO go to prevent
themselves from being enSlaved.
