dren. The popular mind is revolving
against it. New Phillipses, Summers
and Garrisons are firing the public
heart against this new form of
slavery. The masses are moving.
And capital that seeks to fasten this
condition on our people is growing
timid." Well it might. Let it learn
from the past. If the people are not
given an opportunity to pay these
debts on the basis of equity and JUS
tice, they will be repudiated as was
the institution of slavery.

A Chicago Cranx Makes Life Burden
to the Girls on bicycles.
CHICAGO, Sept. 29.-''Jack the Whip
per" has broken loose and is making
life full of terror to the female BIZ
cyclists who rid, in Washington park
during the evening. Jack has a
frantic aversion to the bloomers, and
his method of expressing his dis
approval is to plant few
lusty welts with a rawhide upon
every pair of bloomers that he can
find with n girl inside of them. His
plan for the last two nights has been
to wait behind a tree until a bicy-
clist in boomers comes along, then
he springs out and plies the rawhide
vigorously. He has severely whipped
two young women and pursued sever
al others. The park policemen have
been so far unable to catch him.

POLITICAL HASH.
Served Hot and Cold to Suit Our
Readers.


Readers.
One of the pledges made by the
democratic party two years ago was
to use rigid economy in the admins
tration of government affairs. Much
was said about the ''billion-dollar'
congress in which the repu uDlicans
had a majority. The first year of
pure undefled and unfettered demo-
cratic rule las just ended. Like all
their other pledges this one has been
most outrageously ignored. While
they claim to have reduced the pen
sion disbursements something like
$50, 600, 0OJ, the total of other appro-
priations has been increased. Speak
ing of these expenses Congressman
Cannon Of Illinois says:
'Mr. Cleveland, by his estimates.
asked cong ress to appropriate for the
public service for the coming year,
including permanent appropriations,
$500, 6G2, $40, and congress has appro-
prlated for such service $500, Cos, 800
This, in round numbers, is $40, OOO,-
900 less than the President asked for
the public service. A large part of
this $50, 900, 900, however, will be ap-
propriated next winter by way of
deficiencies. A comparative state
ment of appropriations made at
this congress for the fiscal
year ending June 80 next,
with appropriations made at
the first and second sessions of the
last congress (the Fifty-second con-
gress), and at the first and second
sessions of the Fifty-frst, commonly
known as the Reed congress- shows,
and such is the fact, that the appro-
priations this year are greater by
%S,267, s55 than were those made by
the first session of the Fifty-first or
Reed congress"
There have been many increases in
the salaries of democratic officials,
especially in the diplomatic and con-
sular service. The salary of the first
assistant secretary of state is in
creased from IS, 500 to $4,5OO. The
minister TO Belgium is increased from
$1,000 to SO, 900 The ministers to
Switzei land and Portugal, Messrs
Caruth and Broadhead, are in
creased from s., 900 to 81, 500 respec-
lively. The minister to Mexico,
who receives al annual salary of
Sl7,5OO, has the salary of his secretary
Of legation increased from 81, 500 to
R2,65O. The ministers to Nicaragua
and Costa Rica, for the first time, are
allowed secretaries of legation at
sl,s0O each, while the bureau OF
American Republics is cut down from
$50, 900 TO $4,000. The auditors of
the treasury department are increased
from $4,000 to $4,000 each"

The radicalism Of to-day becomes
the conservatism of tomorrow, and
will be used as vigorously against to-
morrow's radicallsm as the radicalism
of the last century is used against the
radicalism ofto-day To-day's Utopia
is tO-morrow's reality. Opposition to
the kidnapping of native Africans and
selling them into perpetual slavery
was the radicalism of the latter part
of the eighteenth century, the conser-
vatism of the first half of the nine
teenth century, and the philanthropy
of to-day. Fifty years ago opposition
of African slavery was radicalism.
Now IL is conservatism. So with op-
position to debt slavery and the en-
croachments of capital To-day it is
called radicalism; tomorrow it will
be called conservatism, and future
generations will call it patriotism
Let us bear our burdens, prosperity
will bless our efforts, and perpetuate
our memory.
