HAIL TO THE KING,

Editor Representative.
Once upon time, a great king died. he
hated to, but circumstances over which he
had no control obliged him to- His
courtiers counselled together and conclud-
ed that amongst certain prerogatives with
which the king had endowed them was the
unlimited pursuit Of gain. and they feared
that should the fact of his demise become
known, that estimable aforesaid preroga-
tive would be altered into plain Cooking
for yob."
The royal body was quitely inferred and
the royal NJ. DIS were instructed to issue
bulletins, announcing that the disease had
yielded beautifully to the bi-chloride of gold
treatment. and that the king was daily
gaining-getting better. To satisfy public
demand the courtiers concluded to take one
of his best known suits Of clothing, stuff 1t
with saWdust surround it with the royal
robes. take the crown and put 1t on an
empty mask which they had made to re-
present an intelligent face. and this puppet

VICTORY SURE IN 1900.

Editor Representative:
The election is over and am very sorry
to say that the republican party got the
best of it. I hope now that we needn't
wait too long for the coming of the so much
promised PROSPERITY. We are all wait
ing. We are ready to heap it up as fast as
1t comes. sf,
l have been searching through the daily
press In order to find how our ex-mayor
came out in the fight for the governors
seat. Even If he didn't carry more than
Coughs plurality over Lind. he has the
be that Ames votes would be just enough
to defeat Lind, IL so Linds deficiency
could not be more than about 1000. 1t
might be possible that Ames polled that
many votes. but on the other side it seems
impossible that the Ames vote would cause
Lind's defeat, because what ever there was
of 1t would be as likely to be from the old
parties as from the fusion forces since they
would be most ly personal friends of the
Doctor made in his previous campaign.
We hope anyway that the Doctor will
keep a close watch this time not to be
counted out as did some years ago.
I feel sorry for Minnesota. I really am
ashamed that the people of our glourious
North Star state elected for governor a
man like Clough, although we had res
pectable man on our reform ticket. But
the time we think we are organized some
good reformer gets up and splits every
thing to flinders. hope and wish to God
that He will help us through these four
years Of slavery and poverty.
The Sun might once more shine through
the heavy clouds. We will renew our
fight and with the aid of such men as W. J.
Bryan, 1. Donnelly and John Lind victory
shall yet be ours.

THE PEOPLES OWN.

Equal rights before the law should
be maintained. This is the function
Of government. av,. v,,..o-.,s
telephones and those other businesses
requiring franchises In public streets.
then those franchises must be grant
ed to certain corporations to the ex-
clusion Of others. The Corporations
and individuals 80 favored have thus a
special privilege, and the principle of
equality before the law Is violated.
We hold that all have an equal right
to the use or the earth, and most GER
that is cOnfessedly public property,
viz, city streets. 60, ~. ,..,,...,
When exclusive franchises to use
streets are given to private parties,
public property'is given away for the
benefit Of few at the expe use OF the
many. Hotels, theaterS. shops and
factories are on an entirely different
basis, because all men are equally free
under the law to build, own and Oper-
ate them, and free competition pre-
vents monopoly charges. II fares are
not collected, but street railways are
run free at public expense, the value
OF land along the streets will be pro-
pOrtiOnaily greater, and q tax upon
that value will justly pay the bill.
Government should perform its own
functions, Of which the control of
streets and highways is one Of the
most important. Those things that
an individual cannot do without, a
grant Of power from the government
in the shape OF franchise, should be
done by society; but all things that
individuals can do without such grant
OF power the Government should keep
it's hands off. This will prevent mon
opoly; because whatever men can do
they will do, and il one charges more
than his service is worth, another will
60 into the same business and charge
less, competition eventually fairly fix
ing the remuneration of all services.
On the other hand, those who hold
exclusive public franchises naturally
charge monopoly prices for their serv-
ices, and competition being impos-
sibie, there is no escape from paying
these charges. Wherever society
grants a railway franchise it farms
out a taxing power and the farming
OF taxing powers must be stopped.
The most striking example Of the SUI
vival OF this dishonest old practice is
the ownership OF pieces Of land in St..
Louis which rent at the rate of $780,
UU0 per acre per year. This is a priv
a tie persons to whom titles have given.
The rent of land belongs to the peo-
pie, who produce it; and the control of
highways belongs to the owners of the
highways-the peOple.-7St. Louis

1t is remarkable how successful is result
ing the present season of the Bijou. Not
withstanding the fact that the present year

a cause for this success can be laid to the

the generous and careful management of

New York AS 1t Is
In constructing this play Mr.. Rankin has
written for himself a role that Is altogether
different from any in which he has been
previously seen. Those who recall his mag
nif1cent Sandy in THE Danites" will be
agreeably surprised to see the distinguish
ed actor In a character that will sway the
multitude equally as we'll, but in a widely
different manner. In this he assumes the
role of PhilipGarth, an ex-convict 60 years
DID, of splendid physique, who served near
ly one-half of his life in prison cell for a
crime excused by the circumstances under
which it is committed. 1t is an extremely
pathetic part and 1t is safe to assume that
no actor now on the stage can play 1t
better than Mckee Rankin. Among the
other characters are a manufacturer, who
is the President Of an organization for
alternating the miseries of convicts, a New
York police justice. an old clerk in the
manufacturers employ, typical Irish wo-
man. an old servant addicted to his cups
who furnish most of the comic lines an
old negro servant, a child of years old q
young widow, who is the daughter of the
former prisoner, and her mother who has
been an opera singer. The scenes are laid
in and near New York. Taken all in all
Mr.. Rankin sincerely believes that New
York AS it Isl is his greatest effort and he
has been encouraged in that belief by the
unanimous opinions of the press of Phila-
delphia, where the play was lately produc-
ed. He is promised to be assisted by COM
pany Of unusual excellence.
