No Hope in Revolution.

Governor Altgeld's Grafton in New
York was full of wise reflections on our
government as it is and no line of it was
more wholesome than this: Revolution
can offer no hope to the toiler. 1t simply
means more cruelty, more police and
more military. 1t means brutal des-
potism with more hunkeyism and snob-
berry at the top and more misery at the
bottom" The hope of the toilers is in
evolution, the intelligent and honest use
of their ballots. No wrong can resist
this warf are OF the mind and heart. This
is true of the parts as we'll as of the
whole, of communities and states as well
as of the nation as whole. He is NO
friend of his fellow citizens who suggests
or counsels anything contrary to this in
a land where men choose their rulers,

just Nothing at All.

This is what the Republican senators,
says the New York World, have decided
to do in the way of legislation against
trusts-just nothing! They leave the
problem to future legislation"
This is what the World anticipated
would be the result when Secretary Sher-
man said on Sunday that "the matter of
trusts is altogether the most important
question of the day" and. admitting that
"the present antitrust law is not strong
enough" predicted that "these defects
can and will be remedied."
1t is better to do nothing than to make
another false pretense. To frame tariff
nearly every schedule of which contains
an invitation to monopoly and puts a
premium upon trusts, and then to pass a
law declaring these natural results to be
unlawful and providing penalties for
them, would be stupendous and sick
enlng qualification.
what are we to be given control OF
the home market for if we are not to
make all the money out of it that is
possible?" the campaign contributors
demand. "Are we to be buncoed with
anti trust and anti-monopoly laws"
And the answer of the senate is: "Not
at all! Our pretense was only bluff for
the people"
