THE VOTING ASS.

A Republican refuses to take from
the postcffice and read the Ottawa
Journal, although assured that the
paper is paid for. The man who is
afraid to read and study the other
side is not fit to exercise the right
of suffrage. lie is voting ass,
and proclaims himself an ass when
ever he becomes so bigoted as TO
assume that his party only is right
and all other parties are wrong.
But, he is not only a bigoted ass,
but he is dangerous ass, because
of the use that can be made of him
by designing politicians. Give any
party that kind of voters, and the
Devil could not only be nominated,
but elected to the highest office. 1t
is true, our Republican friend might
be in the right party, and all other
parties wrong, but, so far as his own
information extends, he does not
know and, for man to vote with
out studying the principles and men
of all parties before deciding how
he shall vote is inexcusable negli-
gence. No poor man can afford to
trifle with the ballot, and to vote as
party leaders direct is voting some
other mans principles, and not his
own, because he has no principles
of his own.

STRIKERS MISTAKES.

The shortsightedness OF railway
strikes lies in the fact that they in
lure the business interests of parties
who are in no way responsible for
the ill-treatment of railway en-
ployes. Farmers, for instance, are
greatly injured by strikes on rail-
roads in that the transportation OF
farm produce is delayed and prices
forced down, and are injured in that
railroad companies recoup their
losses by raising freight rates under
existing laws having no limit. The
sympathies of business and profess
s:onal men are often estranged be-
cause of excuses committed in the
name of strikers; and, to make the
whole business the more exasperat-
ing, rich corporations can stand a
tie.up indefinitely, and make their
losses an excuse for further aggres
sion. both in q cut of wages and
higher freights.

0WHO HATH EARS TO HEAR,
LET HIM HEAR"

In Proverbs, 2lst chapter and 18th
verse. we read, "Whoso stoppcth
his ears at the cry of the poor, he
also shall not be heard"
Comment is unnecessary, but we
arise to inquire as to who stopped
their ears at the cry of the Pullman
employees. And first, we find rich
bankers and merchants of Chicago
members of the church-professed
Christians - refusing aid to the
starving women and children of the
Pullman strikers, although aid was
solicited by ladies in no way con-
nected with the strikers. In this
case. the Lord will surely keep His
word
Next comes the great Cleveland
and his understrapper Olney; then
all the twins in the United States
senate who endorsed Cleveland's
action, and last, all the twins in the
house of representatives who "me,-
too, "-like, also endorsed Cleveland.
We leave Pullman and the leading
newspapers all out, as, evidently
the INSPIRED writer never included
hyenas.

DURING our struggle for indie
pendence, England hired German
mercenaries to assist her in butcher
ing our inhabitants and ravaging
our fields. One hundred and eight
cen years later in our history,
Grover Cleveland sends an army OF
mercenaries to shoot down men who
refuse to submit to much greater
indignities than did the royal Eng
lish imbecil attempt to inflict upon
our forefathers, and every moral
coward in the land has his hat in
hand, standing, as it were, bare
headed before this Accident, who.
needs but word of encouragement
to assume the role of dictator, with
this army of mercenaries at his
back. We remark advisedly when
we say it is an army of mercenaries,
for the bulk of it is composed OF
the riffraff from the slums of Europe,
who have resorted to the army to
secure a livelihood. They are an
aggregation of moral towards and
+ lepers that are at any time prepared
for carnage of blood-and the
Buffalo hangman, at the suggestion
of Wall street, Pullman and others,
yells, "Sic !"

THE wheels of legislation seem to
be hopelessly blocked. That ag-
gregation of national brigands
known as the United States senate
are carrying into effect the will of
the money power as expressed in
"the people be damned rhetoric.
The bargain and sale of Senators to
the sugar trust is adding, lift is pos
sible to add. disgrace to national
disgrace. Not within the country
has any other Legislative body
demonstrated more clearly than has
the present corrupt Senate that the
body is after Doodle, and that, as
far as the Senate is for the public,
the public be damned.

system of wage slavery built upon
the ruins of that mider form of
slavery which, to destroy, cost the
nation six hundred thousand lives.
The terrible thing connected with
all this is that yet large per cent.
of the men who offered their lives
to destroy chattel slavery are serv-
ing that system which will, if al
lowed to go unchecked for another
generation, make serfs out of the
grandchildren of the patriotic army
of 1861 to 1865.

This is another reminder OF the
short span of human life.-Kansas
City Times.
Twenty-nine years ago the grand
est army that was ever marshalled
in the cause of human freedom took
up its line of march from the scenes
of it's triumphs to return to civil
life and to resume the pursuits OF
peace where they were laid down
four and one-half years before.
Those four years demonstrated that
people loving their homes and
liberty could be depended upon in
an hour of appalling trial. But,
while those years were making an
army of patriots that met the hell
of battle oftner than did any other
army of which history gives any ac-
count-an army that lost greater
per cent. in the carnage of death
which it met on more than
twenty i've hundred battle fields
with a heroism without a parallel
horde of conspirators, under the
guise of patriotism, devised and
carried into execution the most
damnable system of robbery, hidden
I under cloak of loyalty, that has
ever cursed any nation. That army
was composed of the flower of North
cry farms, hamlets and cities. For
]
four years they stood with their
backs to their homes and their faces
TO a foe, that would have turned
Northern hamlets and cities into
charnel houses, in their mad career,
had not those youths stood invinc-
ible in defence of their homes-not
OILY their own home 8, but the homes,
also. of those who, while the eyes
of all Christendom were turned 20
the awful clash of arms, were de-
vising those laws and receiving
those privileges which laid the
foundation of wage slavery for Co.,
900, 900 people. Nearly all the act
ors in that great tragedy are gone,
Int their children remain to be-
come the vassals of as heartless a
horde of taskmasters as were those
who demanded of the Children OF
Isreal that they make the usual num-
her IF bricks without straw. We
are not yet thirty years from Apo

Protection Of Game.

A bill entitled an Act to prohibit the killing
of cartridges and rabbits in the State OF
Maryland until the first day Of November,
1896.
Section /. BE it enacted by the General
Assembly of Maryland, That IL shall not be
lawful to shoot, trap or kill, or in any man
ner destroy or expose for sale any partridges
or rabbits In the State of Maryland, before
the first day of November, 1896; and the
possession OF any of the cartridges or rab
bits during this prohibited period shall be
deemed prime fdcie evidence against such
persons of q violation of this section except
when it may appear that such partridges or
rabbits are for breeding purposes, and pro-
vided further that such pRrtridges or rab
bits may be exposed for sale when not shot,
trapped or killed In the State Of Maryland.
Any person violating the provisions OF this
section shall be guilty OF misdemeanor,
and on conviction before any Justice OF the
Peace of the State of Maryland be fined vs.
for each and every offense, and be commit
ted to Jail until fine and cost are paid.
Sec. 3. And be il enacted, That this Act
shall take effect from the date OF its passage.
The above bill has been introduced in the
Senate and referred to the Committee on
Judicial Proceedings. The object of the
bill, as it appears on the face of it, is to pro-
hibit the killing of cartridges or rabbits in
the State until the Fall of 1896. If this law
is passed this county most assuredly should
not be exempted, for if 1t is, and shooting Is
prohibited in other counties, ii simply means
that Montgomery is to be flooded WITH sports
men from all parts Of the State and the Dis
trict Of Columbia
