BOUND TO THE WHEEL.

From Aluurla."
EDITOR ADvoCATE:- Since the cam
paign, the election, the inaugural, are
over, and the partisan complexion Of our
administration For a little time is Gscer-
tanned, I, for one, desire to return to the
discussion Of principles. Mr.. Boyeson
assures me that 1t is not desirable that
sll Americans should De scholars" but /
do not quite believe that, knowing very
we'll why they can not all be, am yet at
loss to know why they should not. OF
one thing there is no doubt; the majority
of them must grow into, or somehow at
tain the most scholarly knowledge Of
the proper principles Of government or
final wreck is inevitable to our republic.
The age of faith, in the common accept
snce Of the word, is past, and men must
hereafter know why they vote in GER
tain way by some other assurance than
the word Of another man. Votes must
either be cast in the future for principles
or for money, because that last is what
partisan combination means even to-day
and more with every future day. This
necessity OF a principle for which to vote,
and it's entire absence in the last cam.
psign, was what defeated the republican
party. It's voters did not know Of any
real principle which was any longer in
issue between their party and the demo-
Gratis and SO they stayed at home. There
was one and ia, but it was not raised.
The democratic party had real thing
to fight for, the demonstration, dear to
every American, Of their final recovery
from very thorough whipping to them
administered thirty odd years ago. They
can not survive more than eight years Of
victory, though they might have lived
through century Of defeat.
Every real organ of the two old parties,
especially in the east, spprehends now
an immediate redistribution upon new
party lines. They think it will be upon
the question Of the rights ofproperty. It
will not. It will be, as such things al
ways have been, upon the rights of man.
Property has no rights; it has only rela-
tions. The New York Tribune says:
Before the year 1893 has come to an
end the truly conservative men Of all
parties may realize that their highest
duty is to act together on all questions
affecting the rights Of property" Lesv-
ing the date blank, that is just what
these men will do. If you willrecollect, it
was in defense Of the rights of property
that the solid south stood up thirty.two
years ago. The important thing remains
for Us to make no mistake in affirming
the rights, or at least q right of man.
Barring such mistake we need have no
fear for the cause. Our little lives may
have followed the day down into the
SUMS setting, may have passed beyond
the night in the contest; but as between
a truth and lie once set against each
other there is but one result possible.
A lie is not even a possible existant
thing for long In such. an arena. How
ever, let us be sure of our champion
truth, I do most firmly believe in the
final survival Of the fittest given true
definition of terms; and an absolute
truth is the fittest and will survive all
lies and fictione, legal or otherwise, from
their father down to the ''rights" of gold
dollars in nnu nnr,lkinliniku no nn.nir,nA .na

take the places Of strikers. Therefore,
too, this margin must never accumulate
enough to even die in any comfort except
the suicidal comfort Of despair.
My Godl the men who can coolly rea.
son of this torture and conclude it un-
ending! What shall I say Of them?
Calvin never dreamed Of an eterual hell
in which the wrath of his God was armed
with such cruelty. Infants not a span
long, he said, were there by the ordina-
tion Of the Creator in eternal torment,
and the world revolted against his dicta
and holds him to-day, beside Torque-
mads of the inquisition, as the man who
delighted in images Of the most frequent
torture. Yet the spologist for the COM
mercisl system of civilization sees set up
against our mortality and in this world
all the torments of the bottomless pit,
and placidly condemns to them infants
not a span long and women and white
haired men and is sstonished if now and
then voice of revolt comes out Of such
night. You eternize this suffering for
us and consider our writhing, as Calvin'S
deity might, the hre-burnt convolutions
of the undying worm. You eternize it
for US, for our children are our immor-
tslity, and upon them, until the pity Of
God (f he is so unhumsn, so unbusiness-
like, SO unscientific as to feel PITY wraps
the world in fire, you lay the burden OF
this law. Then you are astonished at the
vitality Of this labor problem" and you
think that by increasing this unemployed
margin it will settle itself. You will 90
on replacing weary humanity by ma
chinery which will work uncomplain-
ingly all the hours of the day, and
importing foreign surplus margin, etc.,
assuring yourself that it is only the un-
pleasant noise which needs to be done
away with, and that that may be done
by more stringent danger of stsrvs-
tion. Think you this is quite safe?
Think you it might not be better to oil
this machinery, instead Of SO overlooking
it as to crush out it's shrek Of friction?
When wheel under a loaded freight
car goes dry it first screams loudly. You
can hear it above all the rattle of the
moving train, but the fact is that 30 long
as it is making this outcry it is, il not
just safe, yet not instantly dangerous.
After little, though, it's noise ceases.
Then, il you go to it, you will find the
journal red hot, or perhaps melted off
and lying in the box. Mr.. Clews pro-
poses to escape the noise, which is un-
pleasant to his delicate ears, not by oiliDg
the journals of the car Of progress, but
by overlooking it and running it perhaps
little faster. The social machine is not
unmechanical IN its construction, and be-
fore new journals, which had ceased to
cry, have been found melted off with con-
sequences. l am not writing this coolly,
dispassionately, in philosophical way or
frame of mind, you are sorry to perceive,
and SO you can't argue it with me. Sirs,
/ do not intend ever to argue this ques-
tion more than that of the "infsnts not a
span long" in hell. 1t is outside of srgu-
ment, and the man who could dispassion-
ately reason upon it could take a fash
photograph Of a lost wretch upon the
brink Of eternal despair and forbear to

sufferer and an equally human being is
the unorganizsd seeker for work and
food; discussions of all these things
which are only symptoms and 30 little
said Of realities. That is why the old
party organs profess to believe the Peo-
ple's party q fasco which is already
over. That is why many of us have
feared that year Of monetary prosperity
or Of famine would tip the scales to
quietude or anarchic revolt and the real
questions be lost sight Of again for half
century.
The conservative" is incsutlously
tsrdy, however, in putting the real ques-
tion. Fifty years ago a great philosO-
pher said: Civilization is the economy
OF power and Englsnd's power is"-whst
think you? Her men? Or perhaps her
cosl-diggers? No, "coal." The other
day Carl Marx said; "It appears that the
modern system of industry will not work
without some unemployed margin" 1t
would not sound well to say without
some 7 per cent. of the population in
danger Of actual starvation" but that's
just what it means; remember that un-
employed margin means starving men.
Accordingly Mr.. Henry CleWs says:
"Just leave the gates of Castle Garden
swinging inward and this labor question
will settle ITSELF" Men in daily need of
their total daily wages for their scanty
daily bread dare not strike, you know.
That's what Mr.. Clews means.
Now these questions-whether the
wealth and power Of the world are gold
and coal, or honest, happy manhood; who
shall be the employer and what the
method of employment Of labor, are
fundamental. I allow that the question
of how q mortgage on farm, which
grows faster than the corn, may be
settled, is important Nehemiah found
it so some 1890 years ago. But that
might be smoothed over and yet these
other problems upset the world; while il
you settle them, the mortgage will settle
itself the right way, just as water does
run down the hill into the sea. Remem-
Der, as q good comfort in case Of tempo
rary foil, that these questions can never
be finally settled in any but the right
way; neither is God going to prorogue
the sitting Of an unfinished world to
assume the settlement Of these things
himself. Men, my sons and yours, and
those Of Mr.. Clews, have these things to
conclude in the right way at a greater
or less expense of misery and sin them
selves, and the sooner it is done the bet
ter on all accounts, both for US and for
Messrs. Olews, ct al. Let us consider
this law of modern industry, this neces-
sity Of an unemployed margin, for few
minutes; and, because have some things
to say that will not be said in cold blood,
let me think for moment that l am
talking to one who believes in this
modern system of industry" No doubt
the ADVOCATE reaches many such who do
not think that our civilization quite
overhangs crater. For them there
must come an awakening, and the right
moment is always this moment, the con-
fiux Of two eternities in which only there
is peace; not the next moment, which is
infinitely out Of our control and may be
the very one which does no longer plead

REMARKABLE VITALITY,
William Marcey Lives Eleven Hours Aftel

William Marcy Lives Eleven Hours After
Having shot or the Top Of His Head.
At 10 o'clock last night, after having lived
eleven hours with the top OF his head blown on
and but half Of Its contents occupying their
natural position, the heart Of William Marcy
who shot himself yesterday mornings Mt his home
on the Military road. about one mile west
of Ballston. closed its beating and the sui
eide went to the great beyond. Deceased had
for MANY years been subject to sudden fits OF
melancholia. which often terminated in violent
temporary insanity. While under the influence
Of such an affection, about three yenrs ago,
Mr.. Marcy cut his throat, but prompt assist
ance prevented fatal results.
When the fatal shot was fred yesterday the
insane man was alone in room Of his home.
the family being out working on his farm
Though the noise OF the report was heard,
nothing was thought OF 1t, as MIR. Marcy often
spent his leisure hours in shooting ut small
birds.
Half an hour later the insensible form OF
the man was found by his little daughter. The
shotgun with which the fatal load had been
fired was still ciutched tightly about the trig-
ger. and the skull which had almost been torn
from its base in the rear. had fallen forward
and formed a CHASTITY semi-shield for tine dis
torted features Over the floor and against the
walls were scattered half Of the victims brains
and great quantity OF blood.
The members OF the family on discovering
that ne was not dead sent for Doctors Gott and
Talbot. who stayed with the patient until the
end, eleven hours later. They pronounce the
case one Of the most remarkable that has ever
come under their notice. Deceased was q
farmer and married. Several sons and daugh-
ter survive him. The funeral will take place to-
morrow, the interment to be in the private
burying ground on the Marcy place.
