and victims of the industrial conditions have been
peremptorily ordered to leave town. The right
to go freely from place to place in search of en-
ployment, or even in obedience to mere whim,
is part of that personal liberty guaranteed by the
constitution of the United States to every human
being on American soil Even voluntary idle
erty; if Columbus choose hunger and the dis
covery of new race rather than seek personal
comfort by engaging in some Legitimate bust
ness, | am aware of no power in the legislature
or in city councils to deny him the right to seek
happiness IN his own way, SO long as he harms
other, rich or poor; but let simple poverty
cease to be crime. In some cities it is provided
by ordinance that if police court fines are not
paid or secured the culprit shall be compelled to
workout the amount as a municipal slave; and
rock piles and bull pens are provided for the en-
forcement of these ordinances And so it appears
that this slavery is not imposed as punishment
but as a means of collecting debt. Such city
ordinances are in fragrant violation of constitu-
ti0nal Prohibitional. The rock pile and bull pen
have only been used in degrading the frendless
and poor and as relics of the departed auction
block era, should cease to DISGRACE the cities of
Kansas. And let the dawn Of Christmas day find
the rock pile, the bull pen and the crime of being
poor obsolete in all the cities of Kansas governed
by the metropolitan police act. 1t is confidently
expected that their own regard for constitutional
liberty and their human impulses will induce
police commissioners to carry out the spirit as
we'll as the letter of the foregoing suggestions.

In the reign of Elizabeth, the highways were
filled with the throngs of the unemployed poor,
who were made to move on" and were some
times brutally whipped, sometimes summarialy
hanged as sturdy Migrants" or ''ingorrigible
vagabonds." In France, just previous to the re-
volution, the punishment of being poor and out
in the ,galeys; for the second soense the galleys
for life. In this country the monopoly of labor
saving machinery and its devotion to selfish in
stead of social use, have rendered more and more
human beings superhous, until we have stand
army of the unemployed numbering, even IN the
most prosperous times, not less that one million
able-bodied men, yet, until recently it was the
prevailing notion, as it is yet the notion of all
but the Work-people themselves and those of
other classes given to thinking, that whosoever
being able bodied and willing to work always
find work to do, and section 57I of the general
statutes of 1880 is disgraceful reminder how
savage even in Kansas has been the treatment of
the most unhappy of our human brothers. The
man ont of work and Penniless is by this legisla-
ton cassed with the confidence men. Under
this statute and city ordinances of similar import
thousands of men guilty of no crime but poverty
and intent upon no crime but that of seeking en-
ployment, have languished in the city Prisons!of
Kansas or performed unrequited toll on the rock
pile as municipal slaves, because ignorance of
economic conditions had made US cruel. =
1 have noticed in police court reports that sleep
ing in boX-car is among the varieties of this
heinous crime of being poor. Some police judges
have usurped a sovereign power not permitted the
highest functonares of the states of the nation

Bureau OF Information.
KANSAS CITY, Dec. Recommends
lions of the executive committee of the
National Live Stock exchange were dis
cussed at the closing session of that body.
A scheme for esta blishing permanent
bureau condemnation was adopted. The
stock growing section of the west is di-
vided into six districts. The local ex-
change of each of the six cities repre-
scented is to gather statistics from the
several counties of its own district. Rep
resentatives are to be maintained in each
county, the condition of the animals, the
supply of food and the probable mum Der
of cattle to be marketed soon. The local
exchange is to tabulate this information
and forward it to the national exchange
At the afternoon session the report OF
the committee providing means by
which the commission men may pro-
tect themselves against the sale of
mortgaged' cattle was adopted. An eff
fort will be made to have enacted in the
different states the Nebraska law which
provides a heavy penalty for owners
who consign for sale mortgaged stock.
A blacklist was established providing
that each exchange shall send to the
secretary of the national body the
name Of every person who refuses to
comply with his contract.

HAWAIIANs EXCITED.

PROFESSIONALS VIII Not Tamely Submit to
Change.
HONOLULU, Dec. Since the arrival
Of the steamer Warimoo on the gath
political events have followed each other
with startling rapidity.
Dispatches forwarded by sailing vessels
on Nov. 10 and % have not fully antici-
pated the serious condition Hawaii is
now passing through in the most de-
termined and heroic way.
When the Warinoo arrived with
CleveIand's ultimatum the Royalists
were jubilant and the Annexationists at
once began to carry out their previously
arranged plans for forcible resistance
in case the steamer China, which ar
rived three days later, brought instruc-
tions to Minister Willis for the restora-
ton Of the monarchy with the aid of the
United States troops from the Adams
and Philadelphia.
Within "a hours after the news
brought by the Warimoo was received
1,6n0 determined annexationists had as
sembled on short notice at the drill shed
of the barracks behind the executive
building. The meeting was short, but
wildly enthusiastic.
"The spirit of 1776" prevailed, and
those who heard the ringing cheers
which welcomed the speeches of Presi-
dent M. M. Catch of the Annexation
club and presentation of the following
resolution, know monarchy, even though
restored by superior force of the United
States, would be short lived. Since this
mass meeting the spirit of enthusiasm
which at first prevailed among the Roy
alists has been in a state of 1uctuation,
and some clear headed leaders admit
the success of the restoration in the
present or future depends on the armed
protection of the monarchy by the
United States.
