GREAT EXPECTATIONS.

One of the leaders in the great rail-
road strike, and a close friend OF
Debs, is quoted as saying that the
| latter said at the outset of the
trouble that he did not expect to
win in the strike; that he thought it
was the only way the laboring class
es could be brought to see that they
coulG do nothing for themselves so
long as they were not organized po-
litically; and that the result will be
a general breaking away from the
old parties, Incidentally it was re-
marked that Debs would loom up as
candidate for congress.
In the light of Debs' own declara
ton in the very hottest phase of the
strike-that I'VE are bound to win"
this close friend of the great agita-
tor will be looked upon as talking
largely through his hat when he
made the statements above credited
to him. Debs had great expecta-
tions of success from the very outset,
but this was because he failed to
reckon with his host. Judging from
the arrogant attitude he assumed.
he felt confident of bringing the rail-
road managers to terms and scoring
a big victory for the organization
whose hot head he is. Just how
completely he failed in that part of
