AND now it is E. " Debs who is reported as
saying that the most effective strike working
men could engage in is strike against the
saloons. The long-headed labor leaders are
beginning to see in the gin-nills capitalism
best friend and ally.-The Voice.
Debs is right, and we hope he will make a
determined fight against the saloon. Years
ado, T. " Powderly discovered what power
full enemy of the laborer is the saloon, and on
many occasions he has used his voice and pen
in opposition to this whitening blight In this
connection we wish to call attention to the last
hours of the congress that has just adjourned.
The last session was held on Sunday, and the
capitol saloons were running wide open, IN dl-
rect violation of law. Many members were SO
drunk that they were unable to transact any
business-it was a regular jamboree. The
liquor element has had powerful lobby at
work during the entire session. The money
monopoly and the liquor monopoly are working
hand-in-hand to prevent any remedial leg1sla-
ton. We want to know how it is possible,
under these circumstances, to bring about any
permanent, lasting reform. We reformers are
crying, "Down with monopoly" yet many of
us openly support monopoly that prevents re-
form legislation, and that takes hundreds OF
millions of dollars from this to foreign coun-
tries, for the distilleries and breweries of this
country are mainly owned by foreign capitalists.
While we are crying for reform, let us work
for reform all along the line.

THERE is one genuine American knight. ].
Foster Rogers, of Chicago, has been given the
empty title by the King of Portugal. He has
played some kind of turnkey to the king, and
has been titled for it. How we are drifting in
1unkeyisn How we are getting down on our
bellies and eating dirt before men whose only
right to distinction is that lot of flunkies in
Europe look up to them as persons of superior
blood-blood that runs through the veins of
madinen, despots, robbers or scoundrels, as has
so run ever since the food. How humiiating
it is to men who love their country to see the
nation Inundated before all enlightened Chris
tendon The rage for titles is on, and soon we
will be informed of the downsittings and up
risings of the Duke of Hungeryhook, the
Earle of Poverty Gulch, the Count of Imbecils'
Range, the Baron of Intellect, and knights and
counts by the score. The weaker the brain,
the stronger the longing for title. How proud
we should be of Our forefathers, that they re-
PEELED with emphasis the suggestion that we
should have titled nobility; and per contra,
with what whitening scorn should we meet all
funkies of the J. Foster Rogers breed. Knights
and counts and princes, forsooth There is not
a man or woman of hrst-class intellect in the
nation that would so far debase themselves as
to accept title from one whose power to do
so was purchased in the long gone years by
marching through slaughter to throne.

A VERY small per cent of men fail to pay
their debts because they are dishonest. Men
nav their debts from sense of justice and hon
or. They involuntarily fill that injunction of
Christie do unto others as they would have
others do unto them. Those who fail do so
because they have not the means to pay with
when they desire to, and anxiously look for
ward to the time when they can. Such men
are known wherever theg are. All they ask is
time, but mans inhumanity to man forces
manv of them into court to defend themselves
against injustice Much of this legal proceed
ure is the result of Strengthened circumstances
of a horde of pettifogging lawyers. Of these
pettifoggers many of our Legislators are made,
and they make the laws intricate that they may
live bv the law Were all the laws for the col
lection of debt, with one sweeping enactment,
wiped out, the credition class would be more
careful who they credited the honest man
would fare no worse, and the few dishonest ones
would, per force of the custom, be compelled to
come with the cash. 1t would drive to produc
tive labor many who now have an attorneys
shinele stuck UP at door of dingy Office; the
labor of our courts would be greatly lessened
there would be a great falling off of the money
going through the legal hopper, and every fall
would not see a host of able-bodied men
scrambling for the few county offices.

IGNATIUs DoNNELLY gives it out straight
that the Peoples party of Minnesota will not
join the free-silver-coinage party He says:
"The idea of our deserting the principles laid
down in the Omaha platform and consenting to
be the tail to an exclusive free-slver party is
absurd. The Peoples party has other
fully as important plans for the amelioration
of the condition of mankind If the silver
men are in earnest in their move, let them join
our party. We have always favored the free
coinage of silver, but we have other plans in
view which we cannot abandon. Had the sill
yer men stood by Our party in the last election,
we would have carried Colorado, Montana,
Washington, Idaho, Wyoming and other states.
Instead of doing this, they said the Republican
party in those states was in favor of the free
coinage of silver, and that, therefore, it was
good enough for them. If that is SO, do not
see why the same party is not good enough for
them still"

WE have, time and again, challenged anyone
to point to law of general nature, touching
the finances of the nation enacted during the
past thirty years, that has not initiated against
the poor and given special privileges to the

now, we cowardly trucker to the bond-holders,
and all you fellows who complacently wear the
party collar; speak up. Name the law. The
brigands have been legislating to suit them
selves, and robbed you at every turn of the dial

and week after week, month after month, year

stood up like poltroons and been told to deliver,
and without a protest, you have done so.

Whisky Trust Directors Issue a Sworn
Statement.
ALI the Acts Of President Greenhut Are
Said to Have Been Upheld by
Stockholders.

PEORIA, H., Feb. 3.-President Joseph
D. Greenhut of the whisky trust, Benia-
min D. Greenhut, his son, and John S.
Stevens, the attorney for the company,
left for Chicago tonight after having spent
Sunday at home. President Greenhut was
seen this evening and asked for statement
of his version of the recent trouble He
said the best statement he could make was
the sworn affidavit of the board of direct
ors adopted at the recent meeting in
Chicago. This statement, he said, cleared
away the charges of mismanagement with
which he has been confronted ever since
the application for receiver was made.
Up to this time he had not seen fit to make
a statement as to the future and would say
nothing. He was asked as to what steps
he would take if ousted, but declined to say.
Samuel Woolner, the independent,
denied this evening that he was in any way
responsible for securing Levy Mayer, coun-
sci, or for forming another opposition.
The sworn statement of the board of di-
rectors is addressed to Judge Grosscup and
is signed by all the members of the board
with the exception of President Greenhut
himself 1t states at the outset that
Hobart, Greene, Hennessy and Greenhut
have been directors since the organization
of the company in 1890 and Beggs and
FIeihorn since 1898. The directors had
chosen Greenhut president at each sue
ceeding meeting and he has been unani-
mously chosen president at each of the
meetings. The business man
agement had been in accordance with the
directions of the board and it has at all
times fixed prices and given directions to
the president as to the management of the
business.
eve further state that all charges of
willful mismanagement or of wasting the
assets are utterly groundless and untrue. +"

SEVERAL RACERS WERE INJURED.
Acme Club Men Will Try for Record on
the 22d InSt.-Central Park
Ready fer Use.

What promises to be the most active
year ever known in wheeling circles was
opened yesterday afternoon, the occasion
being fve-mile handicap road race, run
by the members of the Imperial Cycling
Club from High street, Fruitvale, to
point on the Haywards road, some 800
yards beyond San Leandro.
Considering the severe storms of the past
two months the course was in fair condi-
ton, there being a narrow but rideable strip
of road all the way. Near the electric-road
power-house section of about 200 yards of
freshly graveled road tended to make that
portion of the journey very unpleasant. A
strong wind from the northeast also mill
tated against cord-breaking, but in spite
of these drawbacks the time made by the
racers was very satisfactory.
Promptly at o'clock Starter Howe sent
the three men who had the extreme time
limit, two minutes, on their Journey, and
the twelve other starters followed them in
rapid succession at intervals of fifteen Sec
onds. n. Hurst, one of the scratch men,
collided with E. Barley and did not finish.
Barley was badly cut and bruised, but
stayed with the race to the finish, exhibit
ing considerable pluck. A. L. Holling also
met with an accident having his wheel
wrecked in collision with an inexperi-
enced rider.

Major Brunson Still Hopes That His

The German Emperor Asked for Informa

There is nothing new concerning the fate
of Captain John M. Brunson and his wife,
the Baroness Won Barnekow, who it would
appear from the dispatch received from the
American Legation at Berlin, were passen-
gers on the steamer Elbe, that foundered
at sea.
Major Martin Brunson is still hopeful
that his son and daughter-in-law were not
on the steamer. But to make sure, he has
taken advantage of the public offer of En-
peror William of Germany to furnish all
information obtainable about those who
were on board the Elbe, and wired to Will

John NJ. Brunson and Baroness Won Bar
nekow"
night, said Major Bronson shortly before
II o'clock last night, "but none has come.
Probably no answer could be sent owing
to the fact that it is Sunday and that no
information can be obtained. The dis
patch sent by Paul Goldsmith to Mr.. Rob-
inson, stepfather of my sons wife, to the
effect that he could not learn anything
about Brunson being on the Elbe. is a
hopeful one. 1t leads me to believe that
he knows something about my son. They
were friends here, and in New York he was
very attentive to my boy.

my boy is on the steamer Prussia, which
left Bremerhaven either the day before or
the day after the Elbe, and that he is now
on his way to New York. Until l hear
from that vessel l shall not give up hope"

Another mark is the entire dependence

yam said when the drunkard passed him,
There goes John Bunyan without the
grace of God The moment you hold your
self aloof pride yourself on your goodness,
and think you are better than others, you
fail to be saint. When you look at the
ragged sort, or see the prostitute on the
street, you should say: 4 should be the
same without God This must fill you
with intense sympathy. So the true SAINT
