A Vivid Picture of Prosperity.

1T surprises me- said Presl-
dent Dolan, of the miners
union, "that Hanna has not re-
duced his men before. Nothing
but the mems strength oforgan-
ization delayed it. It is but
another step in the downward
path. A few more recruits
added to the great army OF
hungry, want-hunted slaves.
God help the state inspectors
who volunteered the informal
ton that they found no destitu-
ton among our people. Any
man who can travel this dis
trict over and not find heart
wringing poverty would return
from hell and say he had not
felt fire.
And Vice-President Kane
adds: II see no hope, no silver
lining in the cloud. The sun
of our industrial life seems to
have set for all time. The
suffering of our people is in
tense. There must be a change.
We have right to live; our
people have a right to live.
They will live; and, | dread to
say it, even if they must live by
the musket and torch. I have
been through Ohio and Indiana
fields. Times get harder each
day. There is no revival. The
promises of the republican
party are mockery.'

Mayor Truelsen is to be COM
mended for the stand he has
taken in the matter of the con-
cert saloons. The present law
is found to be inadequate to
prevent the appearance of
women in places where liquor
is sold; and the mayor, there
fore, has declared his intention
of having an ordinance ready
for the next meeting of the
council that will enable him to
cut short the life OF this, to Du-
luth, new labor-saving device
of his Satanic Majesty.

In 216 B. G. Hannibal, with about

The Social Democracy O

America is a reasonable or
ganization. There is no doubt
about it. It's declaration of
principles starts out with a
somewhat free paraphrase of
the declaration of indepen-
dence, and that settles it. The
declaration of independence is
as hostile to modern capital
ism as it was to old George III;
and as such capitalism is SUI
preme, such hostility can be
nothing else than high treason.
