vulgar rabble, called the common peo-
pie, are bent on the destruction of arti-
fetal distinctions among men. Let those
who cling to these distinctions see to it.
Their existence is threatened.
INCONSISTENCY OF LEADERS.
The men who lead this crusade against
pride and luxury and extravaganza and
sham and pretense are not themselves
free from the. errors they would cure in
others. Their cry is Democracy But
they are autocrats among their fellows.
They insist upon the leVeling of social
orders and yet insist upon wearing
crown for themselves. This, however, is
not to the point. The question is, after
all, simply, Are they right in their con-
tention2 Consistency is the ghost of
weak minds. If they are right and sue
ceed in setting up real human brother
hood, their own inconsistent claims and
pretensiOns will be swallowed up in the
food.
/ read tho other day that a certain
Countess -, who is an American by
birth and q delegate to the Columbian
exposition from a foreign country, ap-
piled for q complimentary card of ad.
mission not long ago. The official to
whom she spoke of the matter explained
to her that it would be impossible for
him to issue such a card, because if it
were lost he had no way of tracing it.
"AphOtographic pass is much better"
he said, "aS it can be readily traced.
Such passes" he added, "are used by all
members OF the board of lady man
agers."
The countess objected to having her
picture taken for Photographic pass on
the ground that she was titled person.
age, and it would not be in conformity
with etiquette.
"Well," replied the official, by way Of
persuasion, my mother is member Of
the board Of lady managers, and when
mes tN Chicago next week she will
nave her picture taken just like the
other members"
"But, you see," said the lady, 81 am
countess"
''Yes, know" retorted the official,
sand my mother is queen"
The countess stamped her foot, and
without another word turned and left
tho Office.
Let the counts, and the dukes, and the
princes, and thekings, and their lackeys,
and their apes in the republics, and the
Oarons and princes Of the social econom-
o world look to their privileges.
THE RABBLE IS AT THE DOOR.
AT heart they believe in aristocracy.
But they claim higher orders than let
;ers patent, sword strokes, courtiers'
manners or handbook.
They demand an aristocracy Of brains,
" heart, Of character.
Their pretensions may be vain, but for
his they fight, and they threaten the
foundations Of the order that stands to-
lay.
Third-The ruling political powers
lave their future life involved in this
contest.
All traditions and theories deemed
lxed by the course of centuries must
tand the supreme test of the interroga-
ion pointof the scientific mind Of new
ge. The notions about government that
AVE bound us for the past hundred
ears are all being shattered by the new
onditions Of the strange life into which
he nation is being hurled by steam and
lectricity.

omes more complex with each new in

the distribution Of the worlds economic
goods. The text chosen was from Matthew
xxiv,7, "For nation shall rise against ma
tion and kingdom against kingdom"
The history Of the past centuries hal
given as the fulfllmento of the first CLAUSE
Of this prophecy Of Christ. We have hai
the era Of national wars. We enter now
the era Of the clash of hostile forces with
in the nations and the beginning of the
era Of world organism of society. Il
is now the kingdom Of money against
the kingdom Of the common people.
f, The masses are restless.
The classes are blind.
The hour is ripe for action.
The issues involved are tremendous
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM.
What are these issues2
The stake einvolved for the conservative
forces Of society certainly includes:
First-The present economic order.
Let the men of wealth and privilege un-
derstand it clearly. There can be no
mistaking the meaning Of this move
ment of the worlds masses. The object
Of attack is the foundation of the present
scheme Of competitive society.
The conviction has grown 80 strong
that 1t has become principle of action
that the present order of society is re-
sponsible for the unequal distribution of
wealth, the extremes of poverty and lux
ury, the opportunities for injustice and
oppression, the creation of gigantic mo-
nopolies and the consequent impoverish-
ment Of the millions. They-the people
believe that if things remain as they
are within so years there will be billion
aires in America Right or wrong, they
believe that millionairism is unjust, and
that Millionaire would be "a crime against
humanity.
Mr.. Thomas g. Shearman in his "a
NOUS article in The Forum shows that
in America three-tenths of per cent of
the population control 70 per cent of the
property. In other words, in the distri-
button Of national wealth one man in
300 receives $40 out of every $1OO, and
300 men receive $50, which if averaged
would give them about 10 cents each.
The wealth Of Cresus was $4,000, 900.
This is less than the annual income Of
more than one American millionaire.
Mr.. Shearrnan says: Several nonspecu-
lative estates have increased fvefold in
less than 40 years. Counting only 4 per
cent increase, the present fortune Of
$500, O,OO0,O 600 viii become 100000, 900
in less than 40 years."
There is no way to prevent this save
by the radical destruction of the present
basis Of property as protected by the
state. Let men who believe in the JUS
tice Of the present system of compe-
tition and inheritance see to it. The
movement Of the masses threatens the
laws Of both accumulation and inherit
Rnce. The under masses have grown to
see that enormous fortunes that involve
the lives Of countless millions are mat
ters dependent on the accident of birth,
not on achievement. This has been 80
for ages. But the people who toll be-
meath the burden are only now awaking
70 the fact. And they mean to make |
such estates impossible and such titles
invalid. Let those who believe in it un-
deEstand what is involved.

More Land for Settlement.

"On to Fort Sill" is the cry that will
be gaining in popularity before another
spring. People have quite generally
got the idea that the Strip afforded the
last of the big openings in Indian Ter
ritory reservations. The Fort Sill
country, which lies in the southern part
of the Indian Territory and borders on
the Red River, is yet to be divided. This
is the reservation of the Comanches
and Apaches, and comprises 5000, 600
acres. The commissioners have already
entered into an agreement for the pur-
chase of the land left after the allot-
ment.
Adjoining this reservation is about
l 900, 900 acres occupied by 900 Wich-
itas and Goddess. This latter reserva-
ton is also nearly ready for opening.
The longing eyes of the boomer are
already upon these two fairest regions
of the whole Indian Territory.

JoNEsBoRo, ARK, Sept. 20.-L. G..
Kelso, and Mrs. William Harvey, who
resided at Ridge Station, eight miles
from this place, died suddenly and un-
der peculiar circums tances asst March.
Four weeks after, the surviving hus-
band, VIM. Harvey, and Kelso's wild
ow were married. This couple, with
the strange circumstances surrounding
the death of Kelso and Mrs. Harvey,
have kept the neighborhood aroused
ever since, and many people expressed
their belief that kelso and Mrs. Har-
vey had not died from natural causes.
The feeling in the matter became SO in
tense that a number of persons made
affidavit furnishing sufficient evidence
to warrant an investigation, which was
begun by Coroner Wiler yesterday. The
remains of Kelso and Mrs. Harvey
were exhumed and their stomachs re-
moved by Drs. Barton and Howell, to
be examined. Suspicion is very strong
against Harvey and his wife.
