stern significance that should not be
overlooked by good people who hope
for peaceful adjustment of the diff
culties that now confront the authori-
ties of nation, state and municipality.
AS Carlyle said of the French ma
tionsl assembly at Versailles, when
the women Of Paris marched to the
doors Of the chamber:
National assembly shall now, therefore,
look it's august task directly in the face; re-
Renerative constitutionalism has an un-
regenerate sansculottism bodily in front Of
it, crying, "Brssd! Bread"
So to-day the authorities in this
country are confronted by larger
sansculottism bodily in front Of them
demanding bread, not as a charity,
but that work be given whereby it
may be earned We repeat to-day
Csrlyle's words Of warning:
Fancy, then, some FIVE full grown mil
lions Of such gsunt figures, with thisr hsg-
gard faces; in wooden jupes, with copper
studded leather girths, and high ssbots,
starting up TO ask, as in forest Foarings,
their washed upper GLASSES, after long un-
reviewed centuries, virtually this question:
How have ye treated us; how have ye taught
Us, fed us, and led us while we toiled for
you2 The answer can be read in flames
over the nightly summer sky. THIS is the
feeding we had of you: EMPTINEss,--of
pocket, Of stomach, of head, and of heart.
Behold, there is nothing thus; nothing but
what nstuEe gives her wild children of the
desert; ferooity and appetite; strength
grounded on hunger. Did ye mark among
your Rights of man that man was not to die
of starvation while there was bread reaped
by him? It was among the NIGHTS of man.
Again Carlyle says:
Let the reader confess, too, that taking
one thing with another, perhaps few terres-
trial appearances are better worth consider
ing than mobs. Your mob is a genuine
outburst of nature; issuing from, or com
munioating with the deepest deep of ma
ture. When 80 much goes grinning and
grimaoing rs lifeless formality, and un-
der the stiff buokrsm no heart can be felt
beating, here once more, if nowhere else, is
q sincerity and reality. Shudder at it; or
even shrek over il, if thou must; neveFthe-
lees CONSIDER IT, Such a complex OF human
forces and individualities hurled forth, in
their transcendental mood, to aot and react,
on circumstances and on one another; to
work out what il is in them TO work. The
thing they will do is known TO no mao; least
of all TO themselves. It is the inflamablest,
unmeasurable arework, generating, CON-
suming itself. With what phases, to what
extent, with what results il will burn of,
philosophy and perSpicuity conjecture in
vain.
Who that has read history can fail
to see the same conditions confront
ing the American people to-day that
precipitated the French revolution
And will the warning voice of history
remain unheeded until peaceful solu-
tion of our difficulties becomes i'm
possiblel Must partisan bias still
divide our industrial forces while
plutocrscy continues its indiscrimi-
nate plunder? Will the masses of
the people still listen to a hireling
press and close their eyes and ears to
the conditions that everywhere con-
front them' Can our government
