SUGAR TRUST PROFIT
Thirty Per Cent Derived Through
Highly Watered Stock.
Another Populist Elected Senator Starvation
and Distress in Louisiana.

Peoples Press Bureau, St. Louis,
Feb. 16.-The Morgan bill now before
the Senate provides that the govern
ment shall subscribe for $40, 900, 900 and
guarantee the bonds of the Nicaragua
canal company for $100,000,00 more.
But for some delay brought about by
the represent tatives of the Central
American republics our government
would ere this doubtless have been
committed to this extravaganza. II
the government is to go into the canal
building business let it own the canal.
Judge George Turner, in his accept

United States Senate, from Was hing

Oring government ownership of utili-

lican.

Holyoke, Mass, is considering mum

ants pay $3.50, for fire insurance
with average losses of $4,000. Rates

$5O,0O0. The mayor and majority OF
the board of aldermen claim that an
enormous saving to the taxpayers
could be made by the municipality as
suming these risks. -...-...

MINNESOTA LEGISLATURE.
THE HOUSE.

Monday, Feb. S-Mr. Feig moved
that II. 4. $751; which provides for the
organization of the unorganized coun-
ties in the northern part Of the state,
and which had been placed on general
orders, be re-referred to the commit
tee on towns and counties. Mr. Feig's
motion was lost, and the bill remains
on general orders. 1t was argued that
the lumber interests wanted to delay
action on the measure until it became
too late in the session. They wish to
escape taxation upon their pine land
as long as possible. The organization
of the counties would end that.
Petitions from 81 counties and ag
gregating.3 500 names, demanding To-
cal option, were presented by Mr. Olds.
Winona county bar presented petit
tion requesting the repeal of the
struck jury law.
Mr.. Hay ter introduced a resolution
asking tnat a bill be passed to compel
corporations to pay cost of surety
bonds Of employees, to pay 5 per cent
interest upon deposits required
and to return money deposited
as a guaranty for faithful service, af-
ter the termination of the service.
The resolution had been adopted by
the State Federation of Labor at its
last state convention.
Tuesday, Feb. 9.-Mr. Feig, chair
man of the committee on towns and
counties, introduced resolution
adopted by that committee, recalling
H. f. 381. This is the same question
over which there was such spirited
debate Monday, and which the house
refused to rcrefer. After long and
heated discussion. the bill was finally
returned to the committee, but with
the understanding that it be reported
back in ten days and take it's place at
the head Of general orders.
II. f. 242, Stockwell's bill, which is

the judiciary committee, recommend
ed for indefinite postponement The
bill was introduced upon the theory
that the courts might knock out the
bill passed by the last legislature on
the grounds that Senator Day, who
cast the deciding vote in the senate,
was not a senator at the time, but
ieutenant-governor, and, as such, had
no right to vote. Mr.. Stockwell moved
to place the bill on general orders.
This brought on lively discussion In
which Messrs. Stockwell, Donnelly,
Hicks, Reeves and Jacobson led.
Messrs. Stockwell. Hicks and Donnel-
ly favored placing on general orders,
but finally Mr.. Donnelly moved to lay
the report on the table until the mat

A SLAVERY DECISION.
The Dred Scott Decision Revived by
the Supreme Court.
Slavery Reestablished by MONOPOLY Courts
White Men Must Work Whether They
Will or Not.

When some years before the war the
United States supreme court decided
in effect that the black man had no
rights that white man was bound
TO respect. and returned Dred Scott.
who had escaped from slavery, to his
master, cry Of indignation and pro-
test went UP from all intelligent, pro-
gressive and thinking people. That
decision, which was supposed to cap
the climax of the rule Of the slave
power. was really the entering wedge
that brought its downfall.
On Tuesday. Jan. &c, 1897. the mon
opoly ridden supreme court of the
United States, rendered a decision
that is equally Infamous.
Justice Brown, who wrote it, held in
the case of Robert Robertson and four
other sailors, who had been arrested
in San Francisco for deserting a vessel
after having shipped to Valparaiso,
that IL was proper to imprison them.
They yEe4ured habeas corpus proceed
ings and the United States circuit
court decided that involuntary seryi-
tude," as used in the constitution, did
not apply in this case, as they had
shipped voluntarily. 1t would be
equally wrong it soldiers deserted on
the eve of battle or sailors refused
obedience on the high seas.
Justice Harlan gave dissenting
opinion. He held that there was in.
voluntary Servitude, because it was
proposed to compel free persons to
serve on private vessel against their
will.
Brown had referred to the laws of
England. but they did not apply in
this country, ana conditions and sys-
TENS OF government were entirely diff
ferent.
The British Parliament could wipe
| out the magma charta with a stroke
OF the pen, while with US the powers
| are limited by the constitution. Nei-
ther could the laws of the Hansa
Union, prepared over 400 years ago, or
| chusettS colony be applied. There is
no difference whether an overseer
| stands behind man with whip and
forces him to work, or the government
of the United States compels him to
keep his agreement with the aid Of
| United States marshals.
If congress can do this what would
states be permitted to do that are not
restricted by such constitution as
the government of the United States?
They could lock up servant who had
agreed to serve six months but gave
up the situation alter one month. The
constitution prohibits congress abso-
lutely from forcing a man to do serv-
ice involuntarily and there could be
no exception to this rule.
This is good law and good sense.
But If men can be locked up for vio-
lating contract where will the mat
ter end?
Under such ruling the court can re-
| enact mprisonment for debt.

THE LABOR EXCHANGE.
1t is Spreading-A Good Way to
Increase Business

1nCrGdSS BUSINESS.
There are about 10 labor exchanges
in operation, principally in the West,
80 of them being in California alone,
and they are spreading with great ra-
pidity. They bring quick prosperity
wherever established, as they force
the people to patrOniZe home industry
by the use Of labor checks instead Of
money as a medium Of exchange. One
of those organizations has been start
ed in Denver and signs may be seen
checks taken" AS means of in
to be great success, as it relieves
people of the necessity Of waiting till
they can get government money with
which to supply their wants.
1t looks as if the tor check system
would become very popular when the
people unders tand its convenience.
The checks answer all the purposes Of
ready money among those willing to
use them. Colorado manufacturers
and wholesalers who are interested in
increasing the consumption Of home
made goods should Investigate the
method of the Colorado Labor ex-
change, which has been established
in this city. The plan can be made
splendid success here rs we'll as in 9th
er places, but it depends largely upon
the cooperation of the working classes
and the manufacturers. The masses

You do not see the tears fail,
O scoffers,

In which you lock your hearts:
You do not see the mists that lie
Before the ever-yearning eye.
When peace from life departs.
You do not see the blood flow,
O, blind ones,
Unkind ones,
Who hoard the shining dust;
You do not know the grief they feel
Who through a night of anguish kneeI,
Praying to keep their trust.
Yet they are all about you,
The falling ones,
The calling ones;
Here, there they fainting lie
O, when at last your steps are stayed,
And you are low beside them laid,
Can you for mercy cry?

Shall cease to pray,
