robbed Of his earthly heritage, now
threatens seriously to force the gates
or scale the walls which separate him
from the stolen abundance whose
useless accumulation provokes de-
bauchery and wasteful lavishness
on the part of the one human being,
but. leaves the thousand to rot in
penury and misery.
"There are trumpets sounding in the
gloom" Sooner or later this grinding
of the faces of the poor" by greedy
and soulless miilionaires, trusts and
corporations, must come to revolts,
anarchy and bloodshed Feeling that
there is no escape from the miserable
inequalities of human life, intensified
by the greed of capital, the task
masters lash will be answered by
shot and shell. There is enough in
this world for all. A fair and honest
apportionment, according to needs
and deserving, could not fail to sat
isfy all rational human beings, and
social order upon basis of harmony,
with universal Ineligible law and
justice, is the Alpha and Omega of
human progress, prosperity and con-
sequeht happiness.

Mr.. Boatner and the Anti-Op.
ton Bill.
ITO the Caucasian.l

Some of Mr.. Boatner's friends have
denied that be opposed the anti op-
ton bill, which was measure intend
ed to prevent gambling in cotton,
wheat, flour and other agricultural
products. Let us see what the record
says:
On monday, June 9Th, 1892, Mr..
Hatch, of Missouri, moved to suspend
the rules and pass the bill (H. r. 7,945)
defining ''options" and futures" and
imposing special taxes on dealers
therein. See Congressional Record,
vol. %, page SOIL. In the course of
the debate which followed, Mr.. Boat
ner was among the fercest denuncia-
tors of the bill. He was yielded one
minute of time by Cummings of New
York and spoke as follows:
"Mr. Speaker. this bill, in my iudg-
ment, is more vicious in principle
than any ever before reported by a
Democratic Committee in the history
OF the government. It is a vicious
prostitution of the taxing power to
accomplish purpose admittedly be-
aond the lawful jurisdiction of Con-
gress. It is falsehood upon it's face
ynd if the object of the law were ex.
pressed in the title or body of the
bill, it would not be worth the paper
it is written on. If it receives the
endorsement of this Democratic
House and the Democratic party, it
will be an endorsement by the Dem
ocratic party of the most fragrant vio-
lations of the constitution ever COM
mitted by the Republican party, and
an adoption of the Republican con-
struction of the constitution"
The vote followed soon afterwards
in the House by 167 yeas, to 46 nays;
passed the bill, the objections of Mr.
Boatner to the contrary notwithstand.
ing. Mr.. Boatner voted no. MIR.
Blanchard voted yea.
The bill went to the Senate where
it was amended. It came back to the
House with these amendments on
February 2, 1893, and at once Mr..
Boatner renewed his fight against it.
On February 3, 1898, another save
and no" vote was taken on ordering
the previous question on the refer
ence OF the bill to the Committee on
Agriculture. Again Mr.. Boatnen vot-
ed no. Congressional Record, page
l. 3.
Dn February 81, 1893, the question
wss again before the House and again
Mr.. Boatner took the floor in bitter
assault upon the bill. Congressional
Record, page 1924.
Again on March l, 1893, the bill
was before the House, and still again
Mr.. Boatner raised his voice in for
chile speech against it. Congressional
Record, page 1856. Mr.. Hatch had
moved to suspend the rules and con-
cur in the Senate amendments to the
bill. 1t required two-thirds vote to
suspend the rules. On the ave and
no vote, 172 voted to suspend the
rules, and 124 against-not two
thirds. So the amendments of the
Senate were not concurred in. This
vote would have passed the bill if
there hod been two-thirds in favor
thereof. Mr.. Boatner voted no.

The Commonwealth of God.

The persistent recurrence, with in
creasing magnitude, of difficulties
between labor and capital; the open
conflicts between organized industries
under the banners of Knights of
Labor, Leagues, Unions and other
industrial organizations, upon one
side, and we'll organized, powerful,
greedy and soulless monopolies, rep
rcsenting invested capital on the
other, show that something is so rad
ically wrong with our civilization that
there isimminent danger of the whole
gittering fabric tumbling into pieces.
By Nihilists the reduction of all ex-
listing governmental forms to chaos
would be hailed Tin anticipation with
supreme JOY. Socialists of more
moderate school would be satisfied
with the elimination or destruction
of all the old landmarks, laws and
traditions not plainly in accord with
liberty of thought and action border
ing upon unrestricted license; but the
great mass of American workmen
are not seeking after such results
They are but asking rights asserted
gainly in all ages, and in themselves
as just and deathless as the laws of
nature.
1t is the old struggle for the means
of existence and reasonable enioy-
ment, prolonged from the dead ages
into the living present, on the part of
those whose hands have wrought out
the wonders of ancient and modern
tmes-always heaping up vast struct-
nres of brick, MARBLE metal, serving
not as monuments for themselves and
their infinite toll, but to commemorate
the greatness and wealth of capitals
tic aristocracy, monarchy, autocracy
or monopoly. The same old battle,
which around the base of the great
pyramid took the form of clamor for
more leeks and lentils, stilled into
submission by the lash of the task
master; which in Rome clamored for
bread and circuses, finally broaden
ing into a demand for lands whereon
to build homes for labor, quenched
in blood by the legionaries; which in
every capital city of the old world has
filed streets with emeutes, revolution,
barricades and bloodshed, is now
transferred to new fields in our own
land, losing none of its old intensity
of spirit-its terrible volcanic nature,
What shall be done with it? How
shall lasting peace be made between
the two elements whose iarring inter-
ests are shaking the whole social
fabric?

Resolved. That as professional associates
of The late DR.. Henry Hastings Hunt, we
desire to thus publicly give expression to
our sense of appreciation ~ OF his sterling ex-
death. We lament the loss, to the medical
profession, by the untImely death of one who
combined in a rare uegiee those aual1Iles
which mark the conscientious, wise, skilful
and honora BILE physician. During his resi-
dence in this community as fellow worker
with us, his daily life and professional rela-
tions have always shown that unvarying
conrtesy that unselfsh devotion to duty
and that tenacious adherence to principle
which were SO characteristic of him. We
shall recall with aam ~ aa the keen per-
and the shrewd judgment which made him
the skilled diagnostician. the sue cessful
pracritioners the vaIua age counselor WHOM

Withheld, the kindly words of encourage

patients he has cared for. his associates in
various social relations. and every one who
were SO fortunate as TO count him among
his friends. He was not alone the success
ful physician; he was as 4, well the upright
ate. the beloved friend. AS such we mourn
him with grief that is only a little lighrened
by the knowledge that he has been spared
weary body and anxious mind have found
their rest. His private life has been a con
spicuons example of upright. noble man
hood. of fidelity o every trust and of un-
swerving integrity. His public career has
reflected only credit and honor upon the
profession to which he was devoted. and
from which he has been taken at an age far
short of the allotted time.
