THE WAVE RISES.

The prosperity boom is on. Re-
publican and democratic papers
alike are whooping it up. They tell
every day of somebody who has vol
unfairly raised the wages of a whole
host Of employees, First it was that
great philsnthropist Andrew Car
negie who raised wages 10 per cent.
and rents from 30 to so per cent,
though the great dsilies forgot to
mention the latter part of the story.
Since the Carnegie boom others have
followed at suitable intervals and
the news has been duly chronioled.
Whether all are following Mr.. Car
negie's example and oompensating
themselves for the increase of wages
by raising rents, the papers fail, as
is their custom, to tell us. It may
be that this advance in wages is
merely the first installment upon the
next campaign subscription, de-
signed to begin the work of fooling
the people by manufacturing public
sentiment for next year. The great
manufacturing trusts can we'll afford
such an advance campaign cOntribu-
tion, and no doubt the people are as
ready to be fooled as usual. The
American people delight in humbug
and seem never SO happy as when
some political fakir is imposing upon
their credulity.

ment Of the powers of the courts.
Instead of a constitutional democ'
rscy, we have to-day a judicial oil
garchy which is supreme. It is the
only absolute power in the nation.
The people have no voice in their
government. We have no laws but
court-msde laws. We have no con-
stitution but court-made constitu-
tion. The constitution is without
meaning until the court says what it
means. All ordinary rules of con-
struction ARE Vslueleas. There are
new rules of Interpretation which
alone apply, and the secret of which
the courts alone possess. This IS the
humiliating state of our goverement
to-day, and no reform platform is
now complete that does not declare
very emphaticslly against these
court usurpatlOns and propose ample
reform in this respect. At the next
conference these subjects should be
considered.
We reproduce in another place an
editorial fromRthe New York Voice.
1t treats specially of the referendum
plank and it is unnecessary to re-
peat here the points covered by the
Voice. Reader, study this question
of a common basis of union and try
to conceive of the possibilities it sug-
gests.

THE PROHIBITION PARK CONFERENCE.

The platform adopted by the rep
resentativss Of the various reform ell
ements Of the country at the recent
conference at Prohibition park is a
good one. It is proposed as a basis
Of union of reform forces. With some
amendments true reformers ought to
be able to unite on it.
We are well aware that this state.
ment will not be popular with those
who are rubbing up against the
practical side of politics" those who
regard the capture of the Offices, no
matter at what sacrifice of principle
as the chief thing, but, to the man
who places principle above Office,
and who has little faith in the pros
pective achievements Of officers who
may be elected by a compromise with
wrong, this platform will appeal with
no small degree Of force. 1t might
be improved in some respects we
grant and doubtless it will be at sub
sequent conferences; but as a whole
il now embodles the principles Of the
Omaha platform with some very inn
portant additions. The second plank
covers our demand for government
ownership Of railroads and tele-
graphs. These have already become
"monopolies in the hands of a few
, against the interests Of the many"
This plank also goes further and de-
clares that when any one branch OF
legitimate industry becomes mo-
nopoly" it should be taken posses
sion Of by the people and operated in
their interest. This is right and il
offers the only solution of the prob.
lem Of the release Of the American
people from the extortions of the
greedy corporations and trusts that
even now mOnopolize nearly every
necessity Of life.
The land plank is more specific
T than that Of the Omaha platform
3 and offers the only solution of the
, question of land monopoly - the
greatest monopoly of them all. The
, more this plank is studied in it's re-
lation to present conditions, the more
forCibly il will appeal to the judg-
ment Of thinking men.
We have q criticism, and a serious
} one, to make upon the money plank.
It is good as far as it goes, but il
stops short of the mark All money
should, Of course, be issued by the
government, but the duty of the gov
ernment does not end here. The
power to corner money after 1t is is
sued should De Wrested from the
hands Of private individuals and
banking corporations Government
should do the banking as we'll as is
sue the money. In fact, this is the

! question. 1t is due to the depositorE
that they be insured against loss, and
il is due to the great masses Of the
people that they be insured against
future conspiracles to corner che
money Of the country and precipi-
tate psnics for private gain. This is
q very serious omission, but it can
be remedied hereafter.
The practical politician" who
places Office above principle, and who
always diokers for votes from all the
elements that make up the voting
population, will, Of course, object to
the liquor plank We are satisfied,
however, that we can never secure
emancipation from the domination Of
the money power until we first emGn-
cipGte OWrSelUes from the domins-
tion of the liquor power. Any per-
son who will honestly and conscien-
tiously study the subject must newt
able arrive at the conclusion that the
money power and the liquor power
are SO intimately related as to be alb
solutely inseperable; and il is utterly
futile to hope that the vote Of
the one can ever be directed
against the other. Every monopoly,
IN fact, is welded to every
other, and none of them can be sue
Csssfully shorn of their power until the
hosts of the common people cut loose
from them one and all and unite in a
solid phhlanx against them. 1t may
as well be recognized now as later
on, that the corrupt influence of the
liquor power in politics is force
that must be met before any sub
stsntisl victory can be achieved in
any line of reform. 1t is the great
enemy of all reform. It has no pol
ltics but interest and il is in COM
msnd of means for controlling cleo
tions that no other interest possesses.
This is the secret !of ITS power over
political parties and candidates for
Office. We have presented this sub
jeCt to our readers many times be-
fore, and in doing so we have en-
desvored to eliminate from it every
thing that is calculated to excite in
dividusl prejudice. The question
involves far more than the indiVld-
uRl liberty which is SO m uch talked
about. The right of the individual
to procure and use liquor is not the
great question involved. Even those
who use iquor,if they honestly study
the corrupt power Of the saloon in
politics, must see that every interest
of society demands that that power
shall be suppressed It cannot be
suppressed while the business re-
mains in private hands and yields
the private gain that it doss to-day.
The element of private profit must
be eliminated from the traffic. This
alone will eliminate the greatest
evils connected with it. and its sub
sequent regulation can then be more
readily effected.

girl, one Of the alleged victims Of II, II.
Holmes, NJ, G, Chappell, who claimed
to have articulatOd several skeletons

the complete skeleton was found.

One OF tho many theories that has

castle aud the many uso, 10 which 1t
was put is 10 the effect that Holmes was
professional ''procurer." The pres.
ence ot 80 many young girls about the
premises at various times has led to the
the suspicion that Holmes added this
to his other nefariouI crimes. In this
way the disappearance Of some OF the
unfortunate creatures is accounted for.
Another case OF mysterious disap.
pearance which may yet bo charged to
Holmes, was reported to the polics TO.
day by neighbers Of Dr.. Russler, who
disappeared in 1892. DR.. RusSler for
several months had offices in the
Holmes' building, and he and Holmes
