THEY ALMOST AGREE.
WHY NOT UNITE?

We clip the following from the Topeka State
Journal:
In a symposium OH the ''Three leading
causes of the recent period of hard times IN
this country in the New York Voice, Senator
PETER and Ex-Governor St. John give their
views.
Senator PETER, after explaining at length
that it is hard question to answer, says:
will mention three great facts out OF which, or
through the operation of which, though they
are effects, have come the "hard times"
First: Private monopoly of the great and es-
sential means and agencies of subsistence and
comfort: as that of land, fuel, food, commerce,
transportation, money, etc.
Second: Displacement of labor by the use
of machinery.
Third: Unequal competition resulting from
combinations of men and means-the strong
crowding out the weak.
Ex-Governor St. John gave the following an
swers:
First: The demonstration of silver in 1873,
and the dctation of Our financial policy by
Wall street influences ever since.
Second: The perpetuation of the saloons,
which are hot-beds of everything that is bad.
Third: Legislation which has enabled ia
vored few to absorb the wealth of the country
as fast as the people produce it.

Now THAT Debs is ont Of prison, to which
he was sent without a trial by a jury OF his
peers, Judge Woods must turn green with an
ger that the liberty-oving, ]ustice-loving
Americans are so freely expressing their con-
tempt for him. Weighing the man by his
treatment of Debs, we have not doubt that,
had he shadow of authority, he would enjoin
every reform paper in the land from expressing
an opinion of his despotic act. Despots have
had their day, and it ended in decapitation.
Charles of England and Louis of France both
had their day or despotic rule, and the blood
of both moistened the sawdust. Peace is too
holy to ruthlessly disturb. Men are long-sut-
fering. They will endure almost anything for
peace, but the despoiers of liberty can 60 too
far. They did so in France; they did so in
England; yea, so, too, in America century
and quarter ago, and the indications are that
they have again almost run the limit Of for
bearance. 1t will come, or they will stay their
malgn hands and cease their nefarious conspir-
acies Forbearance is virtue-a great one
but forbearance may be tried too severely, and
then comes the day of vengeance. France had
it; England had it. We pray God that Amer
lea never may experience such trial; but TAX
ing humanity as humanity, and the lessons OF
history as our guide, we tremble for the future
of Our country.

House Says Judge Clark


House says Judge Clark
Judge ]. T. Clark of the Excelsior
Coke and Gas company explained to a
STATE JOURNAL reporter today that the
big state house gas bill was caused by
the useless waste of gas during the ses-
sion of the legislature.
Judge Clark said: "If the gas bill for
the months of January and February ap-
pears large we are not responsible for it,;
we are not responsible for the amount
of gas used. There are meters in the
state house and they have been tested
and found to be all right.
Secretary OF State Edwards was in
charge of the state house. aud if more
gas was used than was necessary he is
responsible for that.
''Our bill, which was allowed by the
legislature, was for new pipe and fix
lures, in addition to the repairing we
agreed to do free of cost to the state
This was explained to the legislative COM
mittee when they allowed our bill"
There will be no gas used in the state
house after today.

book of divine and human authority.
Everybody will be permitted to interpret
it honestly and conscientiously This

lied churches. 1t will be liberal in its
belief, and is designed to meet long felt
want in this city. We do not ask what n
man believes when he joins this church.
All that Is necessary is for him to want

nostic and doubted the existence of God,
and yet was moral man he could be adj
mitted. There are many people of liberal
belief in Canton and think our prospects
are very good. At present our meetings
will only be held Sunday evenings,
although we may organize Sunday
school soon and have services in the
morning -

A CONSTABLE FLIMFLAMMED,

William Mishler, of this city, was arrested
in the early part of this week by Constable Tom
Hemming, of CarrOllton, and taken to that
place to answer to paternity charge preferred
by Carrollton girl. On arriving at Carrollton
a settlement was effected for $500. MishleI
did not have the money with him and pro
posed to the constable that he accompany him
to Canton where the money could be procured
This was readily consented to. On ar.
irving at Mishler's home the
money was not there and II
was proposed that they go up town and gel
it. The constable accompanied by Mishler
his father and brother came over as far as the
Ft. Wayne depot, where the father proposed
that the constable wait at the depot while he
and William went up SaXton street and get the
money. This was agreed to and the constable
is still waiting on Mishler and his 5000. He
felt much chagrined at the way he was tricked
and returned to Carrollton without his man.
