The Trend Toward Socialism.

The tendency toward socialistlc the
cries in the closing years of the 10th
century has become so pronounced that
many eminent men have come to re-
gard socialism as a possible solution to
the many economic questions with
which modern society finds itself vexed
This tendency or trend is the logical
consequence of the acceptance of a very
few propositions which seem harmless
enough in themselves, yet are fraught
with revolutionary consequences. In
the early colonial history of this coun-
try it was found easier to pay a school
teacher through the medium of the
town board than for the patrons to do
so. 1t was more convenient to pay the
Dominic at strengthening time than at
any other time, for then a certain
amount of money had to be raised in
any event. This, among a sparse popu-
lation and a homogeneous people,
but, after population expanded and
assumed heterogeneous character,
the public school system, as it came to
be called, extended itself and assumed
the position that the State ought to as
sumo the supervision of the mind of
the child, in its own defense, and for
the perpetuation of existing institu-
tions.
From the central idea that it is the
business of the State to educate. has
unfolded our vast common school sys-
tenn, our high school system as a sup
plement, the normal schools. and the
state universities. The State in under
taking the business of training, because
it is for its interest that certain intel
lectual qualities should be cultivated,
is not able to stop there. A sound
body as the tenement of sound mind
is required; so we see. in some OF our
cities, The state assumes the burden OF
at least one wholesome meal

day to children who attend its schools,
with books. and, in SOM. instances,
clothing. What an expansion IRON
the simple idea of our ancestors, who
have the door of knowledge opened to
it by teaching it to read and write!
If it is right for the State to provide
its children with an education, gener-
ally, why should it not do SO specific
ally? There is just as much reason
that the architect who builds yuor
houses should be we'll taught in his
line of business, as that he should
know something about geography.
There is just as much reason why the
blacksmith, or machinist, or physician,
should be thorough in the minutie of
his trade as that he should know how
to spell.
The State has been unable to draw
the line in the matter Of education, so
that its control over the child increases
year by year. and the province of the
parent diminishes. Parents should
educate and maintain their children,
and the State should, under no circum-
stances, assume to interfere in this do
main. From the free lunch for the
pupil in our common schools, furnished
at the expense of the taxpayer. it is
but a step-and not very long one
to the free lunch for the mechanic, al
so furnished at the expense of the tax
payer. 1t is time to call halt; let
patriotic people begin to do what they
can to check the current toward State
control, unless we are prepared to &C
cept the theories of the socialists that
the State should clothe, feed. warm, and,
in every way, care for its citizens. In
that event we are put into uniform,
and the tendency to stop individual
growth would be to strong too be re-
sisted.
The historian of the 10Th century,
in analysing some of the institutions
in which we take most pride, may be
led to exclaim, in the language of the
pebble to the acorn:
A modest acorn, never to tell
What was folded up in its tiny shell.

The Perry County San tells the truth
neither more nor less-in the follow
ing: "a few hundred thousand import
ed foreigners, brought here under the
protective tariff system, to compete
against American labor and to reduce
the wages of American workmen, dis
tributed principally in the large coal
mines throughout the country, have
now in turn quit work and are now en-
gagged in killing citizens and Destroy
ing valuable property. Surely this
country is beginning to reap the whirl-
wild sown broadcast through the reck-
less legislation of the Republican party
during the last 25 years.

Flour Interests May Have to Contend
With Strike.
KANSAS Cry, May 6.-It is given out
here on good authority that the -four
interests the country over may have to
contend with strike or give in to the
demands which are to be presented to
the mill owners as soon as the organiza-
tion now being estab lished among the
millers is on firm footing. 1t appears
that while General Master Workman
Sovereign of the Knights of Labor was
in Minneapolis, ostensibly lending moral
assistance to Grand Chief Debs
in the Great Northern strike,
his real purpose was to organize
the millers within the ranks OF the
Knights OF Labor. He succeeded in form
ing an assembly, and $50 millers signed
the charter of the assembly. A member
OF the latter, who is now in the city, but
who desires his name withheld, states
that organizers are now or will soon be
at work in Duluth, Milwaukee, Roches-
ter, New York, Buffalo and St. Louis,
and that while there 10 no strike immi-
nent at present, there is certainly pros
pect that demands will be formulated
and presented to the millers. The local
organizations, of which the millers were
members, will be merged into knights
of Labor assemblies. The millers here
and at Topeka are not situated go as to
be brought in at present, but they will
be as soon as possible to effect an organ
ization,

water supply was expensively demon-

O'Clock this morning in the electric
light power house on Skinner street,
which was rapidly consumed together
with half dozen other buildings. The
fire is supposed to have originated from
defective insulation and could not
be controlled, because the fremen could
not throw stream of water more than
six feet from the nozzle. The buildings
burned are SO sollows: The electric
light works, owned by Joseph Hunter
and equipped two years ago at
cost of $4,000; Craig's carriage
factory and contents, valued at
$4,000; Wenborn's bicycle store,

CHICAGO BIMETALLIsT5.

Bankers, Merchants and Manufacturers
Favor Double Standard.
CHICAGO, May 6.-Chicago bankers,
merchant princes and manufacturers
whose names are widely known, have
come out for international bimetallism.
Marshall Field, Lyman J. Gage, George
Pullman and 80 others of wealth and
Importance in the financial world, have
signed creed with bimetallism as its
basis, and pledged themselves to pro-
mote its adoption as an international
system. This is the outcome of con-
ference held short time ago by several
prominent fnanciers. At the confer
ence the following statement of princi-
Piles WAS prepared by committee:
The committee is formed for the pur-
pose of promoting the establishment of
international bimetsllism upon the gen
eral plan of the Latin union but with a
broader basis. Those concerned In the
movement, while earnestly opposed to
the free coinage of silver or any increase
in the use of silver by this country, in
dependent of international action and
agreement, believe that the repeal OF the
purchase clause of the Sherman act af-
fords a fitting and fortunate opportunity
for advancing the cause of international
bimetellsm. They believe that the day
is not far distant when the necessities
of commerce will compel the interna-
tional use OF silver. as we'll a5 gold, in
the currencies throughout the world.
Franklin II. Head, who was appoint
ed secretary OF the committee, at once
set about finding others OF the same
belief, and up to the present time has
ha t,1r Of IN
prominent gentlemen. In addition to
Messrs. Field, Gage and Pullman, the
list contains the names of p. D. Armour,
Franklin MacVesgh, John Walsh and
many others we'll known IN the COM
mercial and financial world.
Speaking of the matter tonight Mr..
Head said: ''If England will enter an
international agreement to accept a BIZ
metallic system every other great power
will do the same, and gold will cease to
appreciate, prices will stop falling and
prosperity will be universally restored.
II there is not some kind OF change
soon India will be bankrupt, as Argen-
tine, Guatemala, Turkey and Egypt are
now, and England knows it. That Is
why the time is ripe to make
move for international bimetal-
lism. Universal reconciliation OF
silver is what We want. To adopt free
coinage in this country, in the sbsence
of such an agreement, would be fatal to
US. Let all nations adopt 1t and we
shall see an end of the worldwide de-
preston in prices which has followed
the demonstration of silver in 1873.
Our committee will soon be organized,
and then we will be heard from, possibly
in memorial to congress or in inter
national monetary conference"

LOUISVILLE, KY, MAY 6.-The Courier
Journal in an editorial today declares
that Breckinridgs should be beaten for
denomination. The paper says:
"The situation in the Ashland district
is unprecedented and makes it impera-
tive that every journal which has the
good of the party at heart, which
cherishes the honor OF its state and
which appreciates its obligations to So
ciety, shall protest with all it's power
against the re-election to congress OF
Col. w. G. 2. Breckinridge. We do not
underrate what he has done for his
party and the cause of tariff reform in
the past. But if his ability for future
usefulness were not destroyed by the mis-
erable scandal which has darkened his
name, the party could not afford to &C.
cept his services at the price it would
be forced to pay. 1t is idle to attempt
to obscure the issue with sophistical
distinction between Colonel Breckin-
ridges public and private life; it has
gone far beyond the possibility OF that.
The question simply 10, Do the people of
Kentucky propose to send as q repre-
sentative to congress the man whom
Colonel Breckinridge confessed himself
to be in his testimony before Wash
ington juryP It is q question which
transcends the limits of the Ashland
district, OF Kentucky itself. 1t is ques-
ton which the people of the entire ma
tion are deeply interested in. That
part of his speech yesterday devoted to
the scandal in which he figured were
better passed over in pity. 1t is a
strange exhibition OF effrontsry, wretched
taste and mentally and morally oblique
casuistryv

DEs MONIES, Ia, May 6.-The eighth
day of Kelly's stay in Dss Moines saw
preparations for their final leaving under
good headwsy. Early this morning
lumber began to be delivered at point
below the confluence of the Dee Moines
and Moon rivers. At 10 O'Clock detail
of 600 men, mostly mechanics of more
or less experience, picked out of the
army, left camp under the leadership OF
General Kelly, and marched to the place
where the lumber had been delivered
and began working on tho boats. On the
way they sang, Marching Through
Georgia, and while crossing the river,
struck up, There's One More River to
Gross.
They started to work with great eag-
erness and before noon at least 20 boats
were in process of building and about SO
were nearly completed today. Kelly
explained it was the first chance his
men had had to work, and he was very
proud Of the impression they made in
| this region. At O'Clock this evening
the fret boat was completed and
launched. Three cheers were given
for the first evidence of the Kelly
navy.
After playing around for a short tim e,
Kelly and two women, who joined the
army at Omaha. got into the bow with
four OF his men, and, amid great cheer
ing, began a journey down the river to
test its ability to float the navy. The trial
trip was pronounced in theory every
way perfect.
Atop. m. the men dropped their
tools and marched back to camp. To-
morrow most of the boats will be fin
ished, but it is very doubtful whether
the army will sail before Wednesday
morning. Meanwhile a committee is
going ahead, calling on the farmers and
people near the river to meet them ae
they float down and supply them with
! food.
The prospects are that the river will
be lined with people and carriages ali
the wsv down, as the country is thickly
settled by prosperous people. Kelly ex.
poets to reach Ottumws, about 80 miles
down, on the evening of the second
day, but he will hardly do SO by the
end OF the fourth day, according to
good judges. There are many here who
look upon the river journey as a piece
of nonsense, and regard future the
only possible outcome.
Many Des Moines carpenters assisted
in the work of building the boats. The
laboring men here have only one desire,
and that 10 TO get rid of the army.
Late tonight meeting of labor lead
ers WAS held, Grand Master Workman
Sovereign being present among others.
After full discussion it was decided to
issue an appeal to the Knights of Labor
of America and Canada, asking that
each ir d vidual member contribute one
dollar to Kelley.
