FREIGHT RATES DEMoRAL1zED.
Trouble in the Western Territory
on the Increase.

on the Increase.
CHICAGO, Oct. 2.-The demoraliza
ton in Western freight rates that has
been troubling the Western roads for
some time is on the increase rather
than on the wane, and a meeting of the
Western Freight association has been
called for the purpose of seeing what
can be done to better matters. The
meeting will be held in this city next
Wednesday. With all the business
they can handle and crowded so bad
ly for cars that they are at times
forced to let business go, the roads,
especially during the last three weeks,
have had great trouble in keeping up
rates There has been much cutting
of rates where there has been little or
no need Of doing it, and some OF the
roads have actually thrown away mon
ey in the way they have cut the rates
when they had all the business they
could handle at larger tariff
1t is announced that, when the Mo
non secures control of the Chicago &
Southwestern road, as it expects to do
through foreclosure, the neWly-ac-
uuired property will be practically re-
built from Anderson to Brazil, Ind.
The Baltimore & Ohio has taken a
new departure in the construction or
express cars 1t has had ten cars built
with movable stalls so tnat the cars
can be used for the transportation of
fine horses When the cars are not In
use for carrying live stock, the stalls
will be taken out and the cars can then
be used for the ordinary run of express
business.
1t is likely that another meeting Of
the Chicago-St Paul lines will be
called in the near future for the pur-
pose of seeing if something cannot be
done at once to settle the passenger
situation The roads inside the asso-
citation say they are not able to main
tain rates as long as a number of their
competitors are not members of the
association. and the roads which are
on the outside say they are not and
have not been responsible in any man
her for the decentralization The next
effort to stiffen up the rates between
Chicago and ST. Paul and Minneapolis
will call fer heroic measures, and the
executive officers who are not fond, as
q general thing, of meeting to do the
work of the general passenger agents,
will probably apply the remedy with
out much hesitation when once they
have reached a conclusion as to what
that remedy may be.

CURES FOR SOCIAL ILLS
Father Malone's Brilliant Lecture
on Socialistic Fallacies.
THEIR CLAIMS ANALYSED
An Extremely Able Discussion OF the
Problems OF the Day-Socialisn Is
Opposed to Individualism and
Is a Foe of Liberty.

Father Malone was not a stranger
when he was introduced last night 10
the audience which had gathered at
the opera house TO hear him lecture on
the "FalIacies of Socialism" for it was
not his first appearance in the city.
The applause that greeted rim as he
stepped forward to begin his discourse
was not altogether that Of a compli-
lment paid 10 an able man, but also the
cordial greeting of friends % a friend.
NJ. d. Leehey introduced the reVer-
end gentleman in a short and happy
speech in which he paid = well deserved
tribute to the ability of Father Ma
lone as a lecturer and sterling worth
as a man and citizen.
Occupying seats on the stage were

tor of the First Presbyterian church;
Hon. K. b. Howell and Hon. Henry
Mueller.
Without any preliminary remarks
Father Malone at once took up his sub
ject and spoke as follows
This is an era of political discomfort.
The laborer, the mechanic. the fa<mer,
the business man, the lawyer, the doc
tor. and even the clergy, all seem to
realize that the blessings, which ma
1erial civilization brings in its train,
are not enjoyed as they should be, by
all classes of society.
Pessimism. as a philosophic doctrine,
has assumed new life since the advent
of the perplexing sociological problems,
which the civilized world is now en-
deasoring to solve.
The steamship, the telegraph. the To-
connective and all the wondrous inven-
lions. which the brain of man has con-
ceived. and which the hand of man has
fashioned, to aid him in the produc
fion Of those things which minister to
his material wants. seem, to many good
and intelligent people, to be curses in
stead of blessings to the human race.
That the prevalent discomfort is JUS
titled. no one. who has even Cursorily
studied the question, will deny.
Civilization. judged only by the con-
dition of the poorer classes in our large
cities, might be considered failure.
To civiliZe means to uplift, To ennoblc.
to possess all the essentials Of a happy
life. How can those. who enjoy none of
these things. look upon our civilization
with complacency? How can the social
philosopher avoid coming t. the conclu-
sion that somewhere in the social or
ganism turks a social reimbursement.
when the very things which material

which. we are assured does not involve
any great change or revolution, but
which the concentration of wealth VIII
make easy The workers of the nation.
we are informed. will secure the means
of production and distribute wealth
equitably, and thus will the dreams OF
the socialist he realized. But until
this is done misery and degradation
will be the lot of the wage workers,
and then and not until then, Will man
kind see the realization Of justice ana
brotherly love on earth. That L nave
made a fair statement of the principles
of socialism will ] believe, he con-
coded.
You will notice that the two domi-
nant notes Of this theory are first that
labor is the cause of value, and second
that the remedy for our present ills Is
to be had by entrusting to the govern
ment the MANAGEMENT of all business
enterprises. The government would
manufacture hats. clothing, furniture.
bicycles, cigarettes. baby carriages and
boomers; all buildings would be erect
ed by the government, which would also
dispense milk and butter. coffee ana
tea, pork chops and sausaBes. In tact
for all of our necessities We would look
to Uncle Sam, who would be obliged to
patch our shoes and mend our shirts, as
well as to furnish us with nursing bot
ties.
Socialism Opposed to individuaiism.
Under q reign of socialism, the gov
ornment would be everything. the IN
dividual nothing. 1t should not be dlf-
ncult to prove to an American. or one
mbued with the American spirit, thal
this is worse than an idle dream, ana
that il is sauarely at variance WITH
every principle of true democracy the
fundamental ideas of which have been
so ably portrayed by the gifted scholar
and thinker. John Boyle O'Reiily: me
principles Of democracy he says, as
laid down by jefferson. are TO US q
changeless basis Of sound politics ana
healthy repubicanism. Democracy
means TO us the least government Tor the
people, instead Of more or most IL
means that every atom of paternal
power, not needed for the safety or the
union. and the Intercourse OF the popu-
lation. should be taken from the federal
government. and kept and guarded by
the states and people. IL means the
spreading and preserving of doubt, dls-
trust and dislike to all sumptuafy ana
impertinent laws. II means that all laws
not called for by public disorder are an
offense, nuisance and danger IL
means home rule in every community
right through our system, from the
township 10 the state Legislature.

ton and governmental control are sure

are preparing the way for the realiZa-
ton of their Utopia; while they firmly
believe that their doctrines Will surely
be- embodied in the organic laws Of all
countries. and that nothing can prevent

that the present capitalistir system Of
production is dividing society inte
