its regular monthly meeting with the
memb all present. Superintendent
Farnham said that he had visited all the

tai. That spirit is the same spirit Of
liberty that has in times past hurled
political despotism from all the thrones
Of Europe and has planted republics
and constitutional monarchies in their
place. The despotism of kings is no
more TO be feared than the despotism
Of capital.
What, then. is the best way TO avert
this impending despotism? What is the
solution! What is the remedy?
The first thing to be done is to secure
popular understanding OF the nature
Of the conflict and Of the real issues
involved, and to that end the Voice

in the past The rights Of opportunity
must be made as sacred as the rights

not arrest the progress Of science and

nize the fact that the progress which
has been, and the progress which still
must be, bring US face TO face with a

More striker. Than Pullman..

That there are men even now among
capitalists who believe that the strug-
gle between labor and capital willhave
a different ending from what it has
heretofore. is shown by the remarkable
letter which lately appeared in the
Tribune, written by a man who is
himself large employer Of labor. hay-
ing thousands in his service. He con-
eludes his letter with the following
paragraph:
To-day il may be possible for men
like the Brooklyn presidents and Mr..
Pullman TO calmly suppress all appeals
and arguments by denying that there
is anything to arbitrate. There are,
however, only two presidents TO 5000
trolley men. and one Pullman to 1000
employees. Does there never cross the
minds Of the presidents and Pullmans
the faintest shade OF suspicion that
the day will come when the thousands
will be their masters, and that these
thousands will. in even fewer words,
decline TO arbitrate. but subject their
former masters to a harsher treatment

fash across the continent, from sea-

quarter Of century We have filed up
the land with the disconnected myri-
ads Of the old world; they came expect
ing freedom, but have found new serv-
itudes; they came. led on by hope; they
sit down brooding and sullen with des-
pair; the skies do not brighten TO them,
they darken and darken on. Social ma
tionalism and the kindred preparatory
movements, BY instilling hope and pa
thence into the oppressed masses, hold
in suppression the explosive forces; but
these forces are approaching terribly
near the surface; the limits Of the safe

one way. In the contest between the
