The Chicago Herald happily epito
mizes the situation in Louisiana
when it says that "the sugar planters
who have joined the republican par
tv because the democrats cut off
their bounty have taken the right
course. Every man who wants to
rob the treasury or tax the people
should make haste to join the repub-

it."

A PerverslOn Of Facts.

Kansas City Times, Sd.
When Governor Mckinley stood
in the magnificent presence that
greeted him at the Auditorium yes
terday and by implication attributed
the distress of the past eighteen
months to the Democratic rdminis-
tration be insulted the intelligence
of the people Of this city and set
himself down as ''scurvey politl-
clan" In 1892, when the labor riots
at Homestead occurred, the disaster
that has scourged the country set
in, and when the moustrous Mckin
lev law was enacted the foundation
for the distress WAS laid.
When the Mckinley law was pass
ed after a struggle in Congress
which lasted from December, 1899,
to October, 1890, the Treasury was
full and the country was prosperous.
But with the consummation of that
outrage the change began. The
revenues decreased and the expenses
increased until in 1892 bread riots
were the only expedients- which
promised to afford food for starving
men and women, and the people of
the country, North. South, East and
West. voted protest against the
Treasury looters and Mr.. Mckinley
was temporarily returned to private
life.
The changes in the prices of
wheat and wool and sugar to which
Mr. Mckinley referred yesterday
were not on account of the Demo.
cratic administration. but in spite
of it, and for the reason that the
change in administration didn't
work an immediate change in the
laws. The atrocious laws enacted
by the Republican party not only
bankrupted the government but ex-
hausted the energies and destroyed
the hopes of the people, and in per.
verting the facts, as Mr.. Mckinley
did in this city yesterday, the OBJ
vious purpose is to protract the peri
cd of distress until the trusts and
mopopolies are enable to get frssf
hold upon the throats of the people

''Do you charge the general man.

striker" asked Commissioner Wright.
"Well, could hardly go SO far as
that. believe, however, they had
much to do with keeping it up.
"How would you gain the demands
of laborers on quasi public corpora
tions?" asked Judge Worthington.
There are two ways. One is the
way adopted by the old brotherhoods.
This is getting a schedule of wages
gradually from the companies. There
has been little good in this mode OF
procedure. It takes a strike to win
sometimes, but / do not believe the
railroad employees of this country
could win strike to-day if they were
all organized in one brotherhood, be-
cause the courts are against labor. l
can show in twenty years of writing
that I have always been opposed to
strikes, but I think there are times
when they are justifiable, no matter
how much the public is discommoded.
general managers were always to
blame in reducing wages, because their
orders came from a higher source. He
believed the American Railway union
could never be crushed and that the
spirit of organization among laboring
men would always be strong. He pre-
dicted that more serious troubles would
occur than ever before.
"Now," continued Mr.. Debs, ''you
have asked me how would avert rail-
road strikes. / believe the govern
ment ownership of railroads would be
far better than the railroad ownership
of the government. | do not believe
any lasting good can come from arbi-
tration, and l do not think the govern
ment supervision of railroads would
answer the purpose. In such a case as
that of the Pullman company, believe
compulsory arbitration would be OF
benefit. A state court might be of
some good in ordinary labor troubles.
I would in such case have a trial of
the differences by jury. 1 am in favor
of any system, that will result in mu-
tual good feeling, and neither strikes
or compulsory arbitration can result In
anthing but ill-feeling. | am in favor
of licensing railroad employees"
President Debs was cross-examined
by Commissioner Herman, who sought
to bring out the point that a state
board af arbitration would be of BEN
eft in adjusting labor troubles. Mr..
Debs admitted it would be OF. tempo
rary benefit, but advocated, above all
things, the government ownership of
railroads, Notwithstanding Mr.. Herman
pointed out that such a state of affairs
would probably be impracticable.

nothing more than slavery"
Mr.. Morrissey, of the Order of Train
men, told of the conference of labor
leaders at the Briggs house, and he
was followed by Grand Chief Clark of

licensing railroad employees, while Mr..
