They Must Attend 10 These Twentieth
Century Quest ons. or Die.
Hundreds OF sermons have been
preached upon the Brooklyn strike, but
perhaps no minister has dared talk as
plainly as did Rev. Thomas Dixon Of
New York. He is a free-lance, and
preacher in Y. NJ. c. A. hall, In modern
Babylon, and is one OF the most widely
known preachers in America. He said-
II one-tenth Of the care was taken for
solution Of greater problems underlying
the surface. we would attain a greater
degree Of civilization than the world
has ever dreamed of. II is violence for
corporation to rob, steal and kill.
Where does riot end and revolution be.
gin? wish you would tell me. Our
forefathers were rioters; they seized o
ship in Boston harbor and threw itx
cargo overheard. That was riot. Tho
problem of riot and revolution lies be-
low the surface. Judged on the sur
race, every one Of the ancestors should
have been hanged. To-day in Brooklyn
a city is under martial law. They are
under corporation disease there. The
moving cause of the disorder in Brook
lyn has been the greed Of a gigantic cor
poration, cruel and wicked greed. Tho
officers of that corporation have been
unjust and cruel TO their men, for TO de-
mand fourteen hours work a day is
brutal and wicked. Now | say IL this
corporation had soul they would not
be so cruel and brutal as to tramplc
these men and the public under foot
Ihey say labor is commodity. / say
1t is not, and that man who says ii II
amurdererand possessed Of the spirit oil
Cain. believe the time has come when
the state should step in and take charge
and declare that labor is not a commod-
ity that can be bought and sold. The
boys who went to Brooklyn we're anx-
ious to pull the trigger and were anx-
ious to kill. 1t is sad fact that there
Is bitter feeling between the laborers
and the class militia The military rep
resents not the people. but class-boys
whoare anxious to shoot and kill anoth-
er class. Suppose the men who were
shot down in Brooklyn had worn silk
hats and patent leather boots. Would
they have been shot down? II this con-
diuon Of affairs continues ten years
more, the labor organizations will soon
be put upon a military footing. and
civil war will follow. believe before
God that when the men 20 out the cor
porations commit violence and burn
and destroy their own property so as to
have the class militia called out, Brook
lyn is called the City of Churches.
Where are they? / ask. The church
must attend to these twentieth century
questions, or 1t will die.

The Silver Party.

The long looked for and threatened
new silver party has at last made its
debut 1t comes out with a long mani
festo that is intended to state it's
case and which is signed by about a
dozen men among whom are Gen. A.
j. Warner, president Of the Bimetallic
league, Senators Jones and Stewart of
Nevada and perhaps a half dozen con-
gressmen.
That this movement will amount to
but little goes without saying. Such
men as Bland, Bryan, Teller and VOL
colt refuse to join it. This shows the
insircerity Of the men who have been
heretofore regarded as the champions
OF silver. These men, when asked why
they did not go with the Populists, the
only free silver party in existence, re-
piled that the Populists demanded too
much in their platform-toO many i'm
practical things. Now when a party is
organized on the basis of the very
thing for which these same gentlemen
have been fighting, they say it is
one idea party and refuse to join it.
The truth of the matter is that
Bland, Bryan, Teller, WolcOtt, and the
whole outfit of men of their stripe are
set of blatant demagogues who have
been, and are, doing the silver cause
more harm than good. They keep up
the agitation Of the question because
1t is popular with their constituents
and serves them a good point for re-
election. They know that the fight is
useless as long as made within the lines
OF their respective parties, and while
they cut up, prance and caper around
the forks OF the road" and the part
ing OF her ways" they are very careful
not to take the only path that leads to
the restoration of silver. By remain
ing in their parties they prevent others
from leaving enough to swell the
ranks of a real silver party to proper
tions that would insure the rehabita-
ton OF the white metal. They belong
to that class of which it is said they
neither 90 in themselves, neither suf-
fer they them that are entering to 90
in.
There was too much of the Populist
platform.
There is not enough of the new sill
yer party platform.
So say these self righteous phari-
sees.
They belong to that class of whom
Christ said: For John came neither
eating or drinking, and they say, he
hath a devil. The son of man came
eating and drinking, and they say:
Behold a man gluttonous, and a wine
bibber, friend of publicaus and sim
ners."
Inc trouble with Bland, Teller and
the outfit OF that stripe is weak back
bones and uncomfortable desire for
Office.
Instead of being statesmen they are
demagogues. Instead of leading the
masses out of the wilderness of bond
age, they betray them into the hands
Of their enemies, while hey dance the
death dance around parting of the
ways" and give their support to gold
pug parties.

What the Socialists Think.

Some of our friends have lost a good
deal Of sleep and peace Of mind over
the ideas expressed by a few over
anxious souls about the alleged cap
ture of the st. Louis conference" by
the socialists. We commend to such
the perusal of the following from the
socialist paper, The People Of New
York city, in its issue of Jan. -, 1895:
THE plan of the silverites to make
the Peoples Party more reactlonary
than it was and to shrink the Omaha
platform into a one plank silver affair
has been substantially carried out.
1.-THE manifesto, appended below,
which the st. Louis conference issued
to the people, is hardly anything else
than silver manifesto. Some five
cold lines are devoted to a uncondi-
ton naturalization Of the railroads.
The rest is the old, old middle class
ailabout money. The manifesto omits
all mention Of the telegraph and tele-
phone as proper things to nationalize;
and last, not least, II drops all illusions
to the land. Thus the telegraph,
telephone and land questions are bod
lily cut out Of the Omaha platform.
That it had to come to this was
clear beforehand to the trained social
lists. Will this experience serve to
disillusion those credulous socialists
who imagined Populism was going
their way?' It is to be ho7ed so, and
that throughout the west the working
men and intelligent elements will drop
out Of Populism and organize them
selves into sections Of tie socialist la
Dor party. This work should proceed
promptly. A presidential campaign Is
at our doors. Let no more time be
wasted. The proletariat of America
has long enough been led by the nose
by the gold bug capitalists, let them
not now play the voting cattle for the
silver bug, would-be capitalist OF the
middle class.
Nor should the last resolution about
the election frauds in the south be al
lowed TO deceive any one. Tillman's
movement in South Carolina is appro-
propriated by the Populists. They
claim as theirs his vote. And so it is
substantially. But Tillman stands
ayowedly for the Acknowledgement of
the negro. The committee on South
ern ballot box frauds will have to prac-
tice some grand contortions.
From beginning to end the mani
festo is genuine capitalist catch vote
and catch gulls affair. 1t does honor
to the capitalist brains. He who can
read between the lines can see written
all over 1.-THE working class sold
out here "-Nonconformist.

More Gall.

The Pacific railroads now come for
ward with, the proposition to pay the
principal of their debt if the govern
ment will knock off the interest. In
view Of the fact that the interest. which
has been paid by the government for
thirty years, amounts to $40,000.000
while the principal is about $4,000, 600.
this is another example of pure, I'M
adulterated gall for which the corpora
tons are distinguished. We have no
Doubt that this proposition will be about
the basis Of settlement between the
government and the Pacific railroads.
This will place the government in the
position of having donated enough land
to the companies to build the roads and
then giving the projectors and owners
bonus Of S4O,00O,000 to run them. Of
course all sorts of excuses will be urged
for taking this action. II will be said
that the company is not able to pay, and
1t is better to take half loaf than none
at all. But in spite of all these excuses
the fact remains that Huntington, Stan
ford, Croker and others who composed
the company have grown immensely
rich. If the company" is not able to
pay, why not compel the men who COM
pose the company" to pay? If the
road had been properly managed, it
could have paid out long ago; or at least
have paid the interest on its bonds.
Now the government, after donating
the most princely land grants in the
history Of the world, is asked to con-
tribute another small donation of S4O,-
100000 in cash.
OF course there is no paternal:sm
about thisl 1t is just private affair"
with which the government ias no right
to NEEDLE. Gentlemen, take your own
medicine. II you are opposed to pattern
alism, don't ask the government to
pay your debts. Give back the land
which the government donated to you.
Paternalism is dangerousl 1t is uncon-
stitutional! Shut up, or admit that you
are only opposed to paternalism when
1t applies to the people and not to you.

jolly Joe Cawthorne,

The best of all young German
dialect comedians, will present his
new and successful play, "a Fool
For Luck" at the Grand Opera
house next Sunday night, October
~, for the first time in this city,
The play, which was written ex-
pressly for Mr.. Cawthorne by the
well-known actor and playwright,
John A. Stevens, is straightfor-
ward and legitimate comedy, with
out suspicion of anything Of a
farce.comedy nature. The story is
clean-cut, strong, and sustained to
the end. 1t deals with the adven.
lures OF al honest, industrious
young German who is suddenly
put into possession Of a fortune OF
several million dollars. He is
dumbfounded by his great luck,
and does not know what to do
with the money.
Mr.. Cawthorne was ever funny,
but he never provoked one-half the
laughter he is now doing in "a
Fool for Luck" From his first
entrance in the Opening act I'M
til the closing tableau the specta-
tors are in a constant uproar OF
merriment. The comedian has
several new and catchy songs and
introduces the concertina of which

A PRISONER ESCAPED.
Stepped Off a Slow Train and
Walked Away.

Walked Away.
This morning as the Southern
Pacific train from Eagle Pass
pulled into this city, a prisoner
named Hill, who is wanted in this
county on three strong cases, OF
forgery, and who had been released
at Eagle Pass, on a criminal
charge, and was being brought to
San Antonio for incarceration by
Special Deputy Sheriff AL. Noble,
escaped by quietly stepping
off the train as 1t slowed
up for the Commerce street cross
ing. Hill had asked permission Of
Noble to step back to the closet.
This granted, he stepped into the
closet and afterward slipped out,
and after a few words of consulta-
tion with his lawyer, Mr.. Lane, Of
Wichita, who accompanied him
from Eagle Pass, watched his OPP
portunity and stepped off the train.
Mr.. Noble arrested Mr.. Lane for
aiding the prisoner to escape, and
notified the sheriff and also the
police. Sheriff Campbell, Consta-
BILE McCloskey, Detectives Shelley
and Shoaf and Policeman Bader
took the trail at once, but after an
all morning search, failed to locate
their man. Attorney Lane was
later released from custody.
