MUNICIPAL CORRUPTION.

Address, Refers to Ii.

Extra chairs had to be placed in -'ly-

the large congregation that gathered to
hear the Rev. F. T.. Dewhurst's addre.s in
cCmmemoration of Lincoln day. He said
he liked the custom of the Catholic Church
in canonizing it's great leaders, making
saints of them and celebrating days for
them. He thought probably the universal
church of the future would do the came
with all the great characters. The calendar
would never be full. There would not only
be place in it for Abraham of the
Hebrews. but for George Washington; not
only for Moses, who led the children of
Israel, but for Abraham Lircoln, who
struck the shackles from millions OF bond
men. AS these two saint days would come
close together, DR.. Dewhurst suggested
that there might be established a double

asked Mr.. Dewhurst. There is no danger
from an outside tyrant that the memory of
Washington need be kept before an
ideal. There is no further danger that the
people of the country will ever again be
reused to that fratracdal enmity which
caused the civil war. No. but we ought to
keep alive the examples In the memory of
their lives because the spirit back of these
things still lives. because prostitutes, gam

ORGANIZING FOR WAR
GRAND MASTER SOVEREIGN'S REVO-
LUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT.
He VIII Not he with the "COwards
VINO Are Now on the Side Of
the PIutOcratic Classes"


Times Herald from Denver says: j. r. Sow
ereign. grand master workman of the
Knights of Labor, has written sensa-
tional letter to the Industrial Advocate
with Private Dalzells exhortation for war,
with foreign nation as his text.
He declares secret revolutionary societies,
known as the Iron brotherhood and the
Industrial Army. are being organized in
every part of the country, with their men,
bers leagued together TO resort to civil war
as a means of obtaining remedies for the
populace. which they cannot secure by the
ballot. He deprecates Private Dalzelrs
talk as being in tone which might tend
dangerously to fan this sentiment into an
open flame, but asserts that should revolu-
ton come he will not be among the cow
ards now on the side of the plutocrat
classes" His letter IS dated at Sulphur
Springs. Ark, on Feb. 3, and is. in part. as
follows:
Private Dalzell in a recent article in the
washington Post, writes a long tale of woe.
He mentions 100000 enforced idlers, our
100000 tramps. the overcrowding of our
penal institutions. the increase of landlords
and tenants, the hopeless increase of debt
and long list of other Ia
inevitable conditions. Concluding, he
says: Civilization, as Napoleon said of
armies. travels on its stomach, and it is
very hungry now for the most part. But
where can it be filled? Hence all this I'M
rest, all this wild war talk and discussion
of silver and gold and tariff by people who
have neither silver nor gold nor anything
to pay customs. Relief shall not come in
that way, in war, and not otherwise; either
insurrectionary, which God forbid, or for
eign. which heaven hasten to quiet these
people and give them rest. if only the hon.
ored rest of patriots grave fighting for
humanity
Replying directly to the sentences quoted.
Mr. Sovereign goes on to say that what the
people of the United States need is an agi-
tation at home that will force them to a
test against their own social and economic
disorders, but that it should come through
insurrection. with all it's revolving horrors,
is a proposition repulsive to all the higher
impulses of humanity. Continuing. he says:
instructions, like great CONGREGATIONS,
start with a spark and are quenched only
with a deluge One reason In favor of in
surrection to idle, starving and debt-bur-
dened people is more potent in exciting war
than a thousand reasons against insurrec-
ton are in preserving peace. For that rea-
son Dalzell, at this time, is dangerous
writer
Mr.. Sovereign then devotes considerable
space to a history of two secret revolu-
tionary orders, known as the Iron Brother
hood and Industrial Army, now being
formed in this country.

TRIUMPH OF PLATT.
Sixteen Years Ago He Entered Pol
itics to Stay.
Washington Special


The second advent of Thomas c. Plat
will be an interesting incident in the his
tory of the United States Senate. His re-
sensational episode and was the beginning
of a series of exciting political incidents
which extended UP TO and far beyond the
death of President Garfield. 1t was MIR.
Platt who originated the design of resign
ing from the Senate and going TO the New
York Legislature for yindlcation of his
course. The common belief at the time
and since was that Conkling led, but such
was not the case. 1t should have been
Me Too Conklng instead of Me Too
Platt as the caricaturists had it at the
time. The two distinguished senator's felt
that they had been wronged by President
Garfield and his premier, Mr.. Blaine, and
that the people of their State would ac-
cord them q vindication for the resignation
mode of expressing their protest against
what they believed to be rank political in
justice and ingratitude. They were beaten
before the assassination OF Garfield. bat
that tragic act removed every element OF
doubt from the situation.
Conkling retired permanently from poll
tics. but Plat was built differently. and,

that day to remain in politics until death. ;"
His path during the last fifteen years has
been strewn with the political corpseS OF
the enemies who rose against him in Al
bany that eventful summer of 1881 Some
of his enemies subsequently attained prom
inence in official position. but one after an
other was sent TO the political graveyard
by the man they had combined TO defeat
and humiiate. For fifteen years his ambi-
ton has been TO return TO the United States
Senate or TO take a still more exalted po-
sition as a Cabinet minister His re-elec-
ton this month at Albany Is the culminat-
ing triumph Of his life and stamps him as
absolute master of the pol:Gcs of the En-
pire State. He is ruler over a people num-
bering nearly six million. and there are no
political leaders in all that great population
who dare 10 oppose his slightest wish with
the hope of advancement while he lives.
