guilty of an indiscretion in the Senate
on Wednesday last that brought griet

had resumed his seat, after making a

Arsoui,ar situation.

Both houses of congress have declar-
ed in favor of giving the coal barons
the tariff asked for; in other words, so
far as the tariff relates to coal the
question is settled, and settled favor
ably to the mine owners. Yet, not
withstanding this fact, the most wide
spread strike of modern times is on,
and nearly every mine in the country
is or will be affected.
This Is peculiar coincidence, and
one which does not give much promise
to those who base their hope of pros
perity upon the operation of the new
tariff measure
But the tariff is for the benefit of the
American worllrngman--to keep out
the product of the pauper labor of Eu-
rope, Yet the carefully prepared state
ment of the president of the American
Federation OF Labor shows that the
operatives in the coal mines to-day are
not receiving a living wage, and that
the strike is the last resort of starving
and half-clOthed men.
The situation is peculiar Vast mines
of coal stored up by the Creator for the
use and benefit of all His children
seized by few for the purpose of ex-
torting tribute from the many. The
many conceding the right of the few to
thus extort from them, and, not con-
tent with paying outrageous prices for
what by every law of right and justice
is their own, Fastening to put upa bar
rier to lower prices by creating a tariff
wall between the coal barons and poss
lille competition. And in their graft
tude the coal barons meet and decide
to limit the output to still further raise
prices.
Still the men who go down into the
ground and dig the coal are compelled
to strike in order to secure wage that
will buy food and clothing for them
selves and their children. How long
can these things continue, and the re-
public endure? Voice,

Virginia capital, Co a Post man at the
Raleigh. 81 paired with friend who
intended voting for Bryan, and thus
was saved from casting vote directly
for the Republican candidate
"It seems to me now that those Of us
who contributed to the success of the
Republican ticket have been the vic
tins of confidence game. We believ-
ed that Congress would be called for
the purpose of reforming and strength
eniug our financial system; there was
no idea that the tariff would be made
the paramount subject of legisla ton,
for that threadbare issue has in it
nothing to relieve the depression that
I-ls cursed the country"

II Sauce for the Goose why Not for the
Gandsr?

Gander?
A strong illustration is made by the
Coming Nation in the following words;
1.-The capitalist is always harping
that legislation won't benefit the work
ing masses. At the same time the cap
italist and his representatives are in
every legislative hall bending every
energy, spending money like water to
shape the laws to suit his wishes. If
one can't legislate himself rich, why
this needless waste of time and money
upon the part of your good friends, the
money lords? Why, if there is nothing
in it for them, do they want law
placing duty upon imports? Why do
they want q LAW repeating the pur-
chase of silver? Why do they want
LEGISLATIVE ENACTMENT making gold
the sole legal tender? Why do they
want a LAW retiring the greenbaclSs?
They vociferate that the thing for
workers is to economic and wOrk-to
work and economize, but for Gods
sake don't legislate. Laws are no good.
Yet the idle rich pour out money like
water to secure the passage of this
measure and to defeat that. The rich
being in control naturally favor them
selves-hence they are becoming more
wealthy while the poor are becoming
noorer

The average wealth in this country
is 81 200. II few have great deal
more, others must have very much less.
In order for one man to have million,
a thousand must have nothing, or two
thousand only half their proportion.
A law limiting the holdings of any one
individual is going to be enacted some
day. Surprising that the average fam
lily consists of five persons, the average
wealth per family is $4,000 Few fam
lilies have that much, it is true, because
the big fortunes eat up the property.
But if 1t be enacted that no family
shall possess more than $4,000, that
evil will be greatly diminished. That
would be no check upon industry, for
no man can, in an ordinary lifetime,
create $50, 900 of wealth above what it
costs him to live. The only way it is
possible to get 1t is by having it given
to him or stealing it; and to check
gifts and thefts, in the interest of the
men who toll, ought not to be serious
ly objected to by anybody. Star and

THE SLAVE POWER.

The next great force to control the
land was the slave power 1t assum-
ed the aggressive, and not only con-
trolled the Government, but all organ
lied society. The President, Congress
and the Federal Judiciary were simply
so many conveniences for it to use.
The fashionable preachers defended it.
Scholars excused it and society smiled
on it. Although slavery existed in less
than half of the land, the men of the
other half were under its fatal spell.
But the new soil and the new time
were bringing forth new ideas

The Baltimore Sun points out that "a
large portion of the taxation in every state,
city and county of the country is for the
support of public schools. It states that
not less than 50@ cents on each hundred
dollars, or near one-fourth Of the total
state and municipal taxation in Baltimore
It estimates that the average cost of each
pupil in the public schools of that city in
1896 was 1881, and in the City College
the average cost was $56. Comparing these
figures with those of Chicago, it finds that
the average cost of teaching each pupil in
the public schools of that city was $50 per
pupil, while go years ago the average cost
was only S.. It points out, also, that the
yearly increase in the attendance in the
public schools of nearly all cities ia proba
bly, far greater in proportion than the in
crease in the population, among the causes
Of which, it holds, "are the increased eff
cheney of the schools and the increased
cost in tuition in private schools, which has
nearly doubled every where since the six
tieso 1t concludes as follows:
When absolutely free schools were first
established the idea prevailed that they
were intended mainly for the poor, and by
most of the well-to-do people it was not
considered entirely proper to send their
children to the mixed associations OF the
public schools. This feeling is rapidly
disappearing, until now the children of the
wealthy and those of the poorest mingle in
the school rooms and Fairgrounds in Dem
ocratic fashion, as they ought to do.
1t is probably costing us great deal
more for public schools than it used to do,
but then we are getting good deal more
for our money and after all there is no
money that is better spent than that which
is spent for public education
