Last Thursday Wac the anniversary
of the fall of Bastille and the day was
celebrated by the French speaking
people in every country. The fall of
Bastille took place in 1863. 1t was the
result Of oppression both monarcLiui
and ecclesiastical, Paris was the home
Of the oppressor, and there unjust and
tyraunical laws were hatchgd that
squeezed the very lie blood out Of the
peasantry.
The brave people Of France suffered
these expressions Tor a long tine.
They stood it rs long as they could
and then in good old French style
they arose in tlIeir might and visited
a terrible punishment on the oppres-
sors.
1t would I've well Ia this day of 0
poration greed aud corporation OPP
preston for the o~ppressors to remem-
Der the fall Of Basti4le. The trust and
corporation can shirk taxation and
throw The burden upon the poor; they
can have laws made that aerYe 10 in
crease their wealth by robbiug the
poor; they al by combined power
intimidate or corrupt employees to
vote for the laws that rob them, until
this government viii be, what 1t al
most is at present, no e government
by the people and Tor the people, but
a goveiumenL by the trusts and for the
trusts. But as surely us the despots
and oppressors Of the French people
met with their yust deserts SO SUR vii
the people Of the United States rise
one day, in all the strength of desper'
! ate unity, regain our glorious stars anc
stripes and hurl from power tie cor
ropt men who imagine that tllia gov
ernment IS merely an instrument
which can be used 10 further them OWL
selfish ends
This inevitable stares AL thinking
men ia the face. Ii is only a mattel
Of time, when, If the enemies OF QUA
repablic are noe ~lislrinately over
throwu5 they will be swept froru the
face Of he globe by an overburdened
and long enduling psopls.
Before 1t is too late let the oppres-
sors remember the fall q Basulle and

wisdom Of the rule Of rec GdjWdt Gotta !.
sour Terrebonne contemporaries arc not re

works. according to their view, a particular

to repeal the rule and to destroy the binding

about a reign Of confusion and chaos q the

COAL COMBINE.

Pittsburg, Pa, Dec. 1.-The
biggest combine of river coal in
terests ever attempted promises
TO be affected before the new
wear. 1t has been talked OF for
years, but has at last come to a
focus. There is Il slight dissen,
ton in the ranks, but is not con,
sidered sufficient to block the
way of a speedy consolidation
The scheme, which is stupendous
in nature, proposes the organiza'
ton of one company with a CAPT,
TAXATION of $12,000,0OO. 1t is
to be a huge trust controlling the
river coal interests from Lock No
