Of all the empty balderdash
with which in recent years the
American people have been af
hicted on the national birthday,
the speeches of Monday were
the most idiotic. Of those re-
ported in the city, not one OF
them shows any decent compre-
hension of the crisis through
which the American republic is
now passing. With all of their
fulsome laudation of the declara-
ton of independence, in defense
of which our country's fathers
waded barefoot through the
SHOWS of Valley Forge, not one
of them had the courage to APP
ply it's principles to present-day
conditions. Buncombe and self
glorifcation were the burden of
their songs, one and all; until
the thoughtful patriot went
home sick at heart, despairing
more than ever for the lite of our
free institutions.

Senator Allen charges that
republican senators openly So
licited opposition to the sugar
bounty provision of the new
tariff law, in order that their
abandonment of that feature
might be excused on the
grounds that insistence
thereon would result in un-
timely delay in the passage OF
the law. That is one way OF
giving it to the fool people in
the neck without being found
out. This anxiety to have
somebody oppose their bun
combe schemes, reminds one OF
the appeal made by the fellow
who had yoked himself up
with a young steer: "P)ease,
Mister, head us off, or we will
break our fool necks.'

Booker T. Washington of Tuske-
gee, speaking of the moral and re-
ligious life of his own race, said
that it was probably all that could
be expected after their $50 years in
slavery. He told an anecdote Of an
old slave who reasoned that, as his
body belonged to his master, if he
ate the masters chickens the chick
ems still were his and no theft had
been committed. His master remon-
strated with him for eating chicken
shortly after, and the slave replied,
"Well, massa, you'se got less chick
en-, but you'se got more niggah.

The Church and Property

Religion has evolved from
past ages, until now we have
beliefs and denominations
without number; but beneath
each religious evolution there
has been invariably hidden an
economic question. The ever
lasting evil, continual struggle,
has never been aught but one
between the rich and the poor.
When ownership and property
came into being, class war
fare at once broke out, and has
continued to the present day.
There were rich and there were
poor; thence arose the. social
question. During the first few
centuries, each church was an
experiment in communism,
a real association, whose mem
bers possessed all in common.
This is shown to- us by the
apologists and early fathers of
the church. Christianity was
then but the religion of the
humble and the poor, a form of
democracy or socialism strug-
Cling against Roman society.
When the latter toppled
over, rotted by money,
it succumbed far more be-
meath the results of frantic
speculation, swindling banks,
and financial disasters than be-
meath the onslaught of barba-
rian hordes. But Christianity,
at last triumphing by virtue of
historical, social and humane
causes, was proclaimed state
religion: To ensure itself
complete victory, it was forced
to range itself on the side Of

One of the Fourth of uly

out of his way, Monday, to slu1

the rich; and from then to the

the rich; and from then to the
present day with all artful-
ness and sophistry, the fathers
of the church, the preachers
of the gospel, succeeded in dis
covering a defense of property
and wealth in the gospel of
Jesus Christ. All this was a
vital political necessity to
Christianity, it was only at
this price that it became
Catholicism,-the universal re-
ligion. The church, through
all it's evolutionary stages, has
opposed the idea of freedom;
humanity regaining self-pos-
session and control. What bit
ter irony it is to find that the
world is again collapsing
through frantic speculation,
rotten banks, financial disas-
ters, and the frightful injustice
of a few men gorged with
wealth while thousands of
of their brothers are dying
with hunger. And the preach
ers of the gospel are still on the
side of property.

The assessed valuation of per.
sonal property in the city Of
Duluth has shrunk from 81, 743, ,.
1853 in 1896 to $4,275,25O in
1897. The decrease is close on
to 100000, but if Duluth's
share of the big bridge be counted
out the reduction amounts to
over 100000. In other words

lie, said. "All power exercised
over a nation must have a begin

trust, and all assumed power is
usurpation. Time does not after

The people arc getting poorer
each year, and the opportunities
before young men are getting
scarcer. For every opening for a
man there are. half q dozen appll-
cants, and there are doors being
closed against service every hour
in the year. Large corporations
are swallowing up the enterprises
OF individuals, and where there
used to be two managers there are
now only one. The large factory
ia crushing out the small and man
ual labor is being replaced by the
monopoly,owned machine. All
these are adding to the ranks OF
the unemployed, and it matters

few years, all the wealth produced

The people. who live by their Ia
Dor and not by special privileges
granted by government, will have
to unite themselves into one grand

dues. As matters now stand mo-
nopolies control every thing, and
there is no way for the people to
escape paying tribute to them. II
It were not for the robbers through
monopolistic corporations the peo'
pie who produce wealth could en-
joy fair share Of it, but they will
never even fairly prosper again
until those corporations are des
troyed and all monopolis arc owned

What Shall be Done ?

There seems to be a disposition
on the part of all who have writ
ten on what should be done by the
Constitutional Convention, if one
is voted for by the people, to keep
the attention of the people on the
question of suffrage as if there
were nothing else that needed
change. This is u short-sighted
view to take of the case. There
arc many changes needed in our
organic law, beside which the
question Of suffrage Is very insig-
nifcant. One of the principal of
these is the removal of the ap-
pointive power from tho hands of
the Governor. There arc too ma
ny offices to bo filled by him that
have direct bearing on the election
machinery. No officer should have
any power over the officers of elec-
tons. There is too much oppor-
tunity to build up party rings and
for the perpetuation of one ad-
ministration.
We want a government Of the
people and by the people and no sys-
tenn should be tolerated that makes
it possible for man to retain pow
er through appointing men whose
duty it is to manage elections and
make up the returns for the same,
for where man has this power
there is inducement for him to use
it to fasten himself in Office or name
his successor.
We have seen enough in the pol
itics of Louisiana to know that of.
fees, instead of being used for the
purpose of serving the general
good of the people, are made ar
object of barter and sale, ano
through this means, the will o.
even the white men has been de-
feated, and a usurper placed il
the gubernatorial chair. One sucf
now occupies that distinction, ane
as q reward for that, another oc
cupies that political "dead-house,
the Supreme bench. How mucl
longer are our people going tt
stand this kind of government ! |
has heretofore been declared nee
essary, to keep white supremacy
but everybody knows, that the las
time the game was played ther'
was no question of color in it
Let our people look over the Gelt
and they will SEQ that so long a
one man has so much power it mat
ters net if nobody but an Amerl
can born white man votes, the vii
of the people can be defeated jus
as easily as now. What we nee
is a great curtailment of the pow
ers of the governor, and an in
crease of the powers of the pee
pie. Let the people elect ever
officer from ward constable ur
and lot them do it without the II
terferance of election commission
ers who receive favors for corrupt
! ing the ballot and falsifying rt
turns in the name of white supren
acy. Everybody knows that thel
was all kinds of corruption ran
pant in this parish last yea
and there are men who will bee
through life the remorse brougl
on their souls for the part the
played in that performance.

The story OF the lady In Devonshire who
calmly and consistently staid ia bed for
thirty-niIac years has been flying all over
the United States, regardless Of the I'm
fluence il may have on the young and i'm
pressiunahle of our land. 1t requires no
impressive examples to convince the aver
age person that bed is comfortable. and II.
by merely stating the proposition, one may
stay in bed and be waited on for the rest
OF ones natural life ia England. it Is
possible that somebody may try the scheme
in America. In tits connection, however,
il may bc observed that the experiment
was tried in the family of a well-to do and
energetic farmer, once upon a time. His
wife's mother took TO her bed with paraiy-
SIS or something of the sort, and appeare
to he guspiCiously comfortable. The farmer
ingeni5usiy got everybody out of the house
one afternoon and started a small lire
where it would have good effect. Then he
hired a boy to yell "house Attire" and the
next that was seen Of the old lady she was
dragging her feather bed across the orch
ard. what is popular in England is not
always popular here.
