.THk NEW FhO.PEktTY..'

The Union Trade Review published
at Cleveland. Ohio, which IL . strong
supporter Of Hanna ard Mckinley,
says editoriaily:
The impatient, oftimes sneering, as
this prosperity" which accompa nj Is
newspaper announcements Of Feeuc-
tiops in wages, indicates that there are
many who utterly fail to appreciate
the conditions under which prosper
ity" OF whatever proportions il may
prove TO be, will come TO this country.
Wage reductions are certainly q fea-
turc Of the new prosperity
There is nothing strange about the
above except that a plutoeratic paper
should so cody admit the truth. Com
pare that with the argument and pro-
misses of the Republican leaders n the
ed SO large contingent Of the tin
bucket brigade. Prosperity then
meant both higher wages and steadieI
employment-blessings assured by the
Republican policy of protection. Now
according to the Hanna organ, it sim.
ply means more labor for less money
The coal miners and other labcrers
are now learning this by bitter exper.
fence. they voted for mckinley and
prosperity"
They now understand that the Nc.
Kinley brand of prosperity is solely fol
the consumption of the plutocrats who
paid the expenses of his campaign.

The VESTED RIGHTS FRAUD.

Governor Pingree, of Michigan, has
punctured the whole vested rights
fraud claims set up by the moncpo-
lists in three sharp pointed sentences.
He says:
A franchise is not contract.
A franchise granted in perpetuity
is against public policy and void.
A contract to do wrong is not sacred.
Governor Pingree is right. No one
will attempt to answer the pointed
truths stated above. The vested rights
of the people are greater than the
vested rights of any corporation or
monopoly. A public franchise or a
charter of public function is nothing
more or less than license to a cor
poration to carry on certain business
as long as it is operated for the pub
lie good. The franchise remains the
property of the people, and the high
est equity demands that it be revoked
in the name of the people and good
government when the public good re-
quires it. No such vicious doctrine
as the vested rights of corporations
would ever have found it's way into
our jurisprudence had not the corrupt
hand of monopoly found its way to
tbs bench and defiled the judicial
ermine

ity under Ell 'ting Law 10 bid in the

rection OF Congress about the matter.
The question arises, why did not the
President ask the advice Of Congress
about bidding in the Union Pacific,
and why was he 20 ANXIOUS TO sell that
piece Of property before Congress met?
He must have known, As all men IN
formed on the subject know that when

the government TO have the Union

sold before Congress met. This whole
miserable business transaction, not to
sa, shady affair, should b. thoroughly

A certain newspaper in Raleigh
Itself an organized hypocrisy"
has had much to say about the en-
ployment, by Governor Russell. of
counsel to assist the Attorney Gen.
ersl in the important railroad legis
lation ending in the courts, in many
respects the III 'st important that has
arisen ir TIE State during its exis-
tence. While the statutes do not
contemplate that the Attorney Gen.
eral of the State shall appear for the
State in all matters where the State
is interested, as no provision is made
for the expense that would be neces-
sarily incurred in so doing, and il
would he impossible to do so, and al
so to be in attendance upon the sit
ting of the Supreme Court for about
seven months in the year, still one
would think from the wild statement
m ado by the above referred to news
paper, that not a cent had been paid
for extra legal services prior to the
present administration. A cursOry
glance at the Auditors reports shows
that more than SAG, 900 were paid out
for additional legal help during the
terms of Attorney General Kenan,
Davidson and Osborne. In some in
stances it was probably properly ex-
pended, as when the Att ruey Gen
eral was not able to attend to the
particular business by reason of
pressing public duties elsewhere; in
many other instances the Attorney
General doubtless could and ought
to have attended to the same without
the employment of any other coun-
sci. The statutes authorizing the
Governor to employ counsel were
passed with view to giving the le-
gal officer of the State assistance in
cases of great Importance, in which
it become necessary to secure the
ablest legal talent to be found to
meet the formidable array of law
yers against the State. But be all
this as it may, the examination OF
the Auditors reports disclose the

1t may be that Governor Russell
has exercised the pardoning power
more frequently than any other chief
executive the State has had in the
same length of time; but no fair
minded man can read his reasons in
q single instance and say that he
would have done otherwise. In fact
Governor Russell's acts in these
pardons have confirmed Us in our be-
lief that the pardoning power ought
to be lodged with the Governors of
all States in the Union, where 80
few have it. The criticisms of the
partisan Democratic press of the

TO PASS A POOLING BILL.


Recently there have been a number
Of conferences of railroad magnates
and leading representatives of the gold
syndicate. Nothing has been said
about these conferences by the Associ.
ated Press and the gold and railroad
organs. They are laying plan to try
to push pooling bill through the next
Congress. They will have powerful
lobby on hand, armed with the neces-
sary amount of arguments" A pool
ing bill was introduced toward the
close of the last session of Congress,
and it is this bill that they are at
tempting to put through. The pur-
pose and far-reaching effect of a pool
ing bill is not generally understood or
appreciated by the public. Hon. j. l..
Cowles, the author of that admirable
book: "a General Freight and Passen-
ger Post" in an article discussing this
pooling bill, says:
The purpose of the bill is to transfer
all the essential functions Of national
government from the United States at
Washington to the government of the
United Railways at New York.
The result of this enactment will be
to make J. Pierpont Morgan the abso-
lutte dictator of this country. It will
give to him absolute control over the
interstate, the continental movements
of persons and of produce that his
puppets, the railway kings, now exer-
else over the movements of life within
the different states.
| Let that bill become q law, and no
matter what may be the demand for
the farmers wheat orthe miners coal
or for the producers oil, J. Pierpont
Morgan and John D. Rockefeller will
turn the profits of these and of every
other industry into their private cof-
fers."
Mr.. Cowles has not ovsrestimated
the danger. The railroad syndicates
are already too powerful. They not
only have the industries of the country
by the throat, but they use the eror.
nous wealth that they wiring from the
country to influence elections, contro

THE CRIME OF TELLING A 7RUTB

Lord Charles Beresford has set all
the flunkies and snobs and dollar mark
aristocrats of England to bowling
and barking at his heels. In a speech
a few days since, in which he discuss
ed the dangers that threatened the lib
critics of the English people and in
which he laid special stress upon the
fact that the greatest danger to the
people was from the domination of the
money power, he used few sentences
which have been taken up, twisted,
and lied about by all those who were
hit by his speech and who were unable
to answer the facts and arguments
which it contained. For some time he
has commended for number of reforms
in the interest of better government.
Those who are profiting by the evils
which he denounced were unable to
answer his arguments, therefore they
have been silent. Now they have
found an opportunity to attempt to
raise prejudice against him by lying
about his speech and pntt = into his
mouth words that he did not use. and
hence the whole lying aud hlreling
gang have begun barking a. his heels.
What he did say was that each i+y the

greater and greater influence over both
the society and politics of f gland.
ain the old days it was not so, but
now money is destroying our old pride
and our old chivalry. When man iG
the "best society" commits a crime or
dishonorable act that society bands
itself together to screen him instead
of judging him according to his des-
erts." Those who were hit hardest by
this statement at once raised a howl
and have been charging that he said
that the best people in England could
be corrupted with money, and that
they would commit disgraceful acts
and crimes, etc. 1t has been nearly a
week SIN &c the speech was made. Those
who opposed the reforms which he has
fought and who we're most guilty of
the Offenses to which he did refer are
still lying each day more vigorously
than ever in order to misrepresent him
and raise prejudice. This is not sur
prising. Indeed. it is perfectly nat
ural. Similar things have occurred
before and will occur again as long as
wrong exists and as long as there is
anyone who has the courage to de.
nounce them and to state truth that
hurts the wrong doer.
