Labor organizations in every part
of the Union are passing resolutions
calculated to make the hair on the
head Of George NJ. Pullman stand on
end. but it is doubtful if they have
any more etfect upon his callous and
cruel heart than water upon Il duck S
back. However. he that as it may.
the time will come when the histo-
rian will dip his pen in the ink OF
cold impartiality and write the rec
Old of the South Chicago Duke in
lines that will make the late Col.
Judas IScariot blush. No man who
has miSspcnt the time allotted t. him
on earth hya generous Creator can hope
to escape tt G reputation that must fol-
low. Tie great grand children of
George NJ. Pullman will lie awake
nights in the twentieth century try
ing to think up ways to make the
people believe that they never de-
scended from the inhuman shy
lock of the nineteenth century.
With al his ill-gottcn millions,
the name of Pullman will be Il stencil
in the nu>trils Of the decent people
OF the coming generations. and school
children will go forth to decorate the
grave of Eugene Y. Deb> with the
sweetest blossoms of spring.
Humanity will come to its senses
in time and, when it does, greed,
avarice. ard sclfishucss will come to
lie regarded as a crime more ignOble
and not less great than treason to I,
good system of government May
the Prince of Darkness squeeze the
soul of George NJ. Pullman as h. HIS
