DefrInR the PeonIe.

The republican machine and adj
ministration of Illinois are not only
reckless to a shocking degree in re-
gard to their obligations to the peo-
Pile, but they defy the people on their
solemnly expressed judgment on n
matter that is of great concern-the
matter of prison contract labor. In
1886 the people of Illinois adopted an
amendment to the state constitution
prohibiting prison contract labor, and
up to 1898, when the democratic adj
ministration took hold of affairs, the
republican party had done nothing to
carry this amendment into effect
The democrats began in 1898 to carry
it into effect, and when they went out
of power in 1897 the will of the peo-
pie had been obeyed and there was no
prison contract labor in Illinois. Now
il is said in the Joliet peuitentiary, in
defiance of this constitutional amend
ment, prison contract labor has been
restored and that the prison is prac-
tically run on that plan. The repub-
lican administration. controlled by
the trusts and monopolies, does not
believe in respecting or even obeying
the'instructions of the people The
people of Illinois who adopted this
amendment should rise in their
might and teach the republican man
ayers q lesson

SWEET TUNE FROM MY OLD VIOLIN.
BY WILL H DIXON

When al my brightest dreams seems faded

And the castles built long ago.

And sit mid the wreck in my woe;
When bow meath the wight OF the world
and its care.
And an i darkness without aud within
With the swing of the bow, seem TO scatter
With a sweet tune from my old violin
When the bright hopes cherished seem fallen
And the clouds and the night settles down:
When the sunshine and the brightness of my
life all has fed
And the world with contempt seems to
As 1 stand mid the wreck of bright hopes ]

Fo saken BY kith and by kin:
Yet soon gone Is the p AIN, AMI am happy
with a sweet tune from my cd violin
Half forgotten sweet echoes it make in my
heart.
As gently draw forth the old bow
And play DER the strings, while the violin
sweet song that knew long ago:
OF mother and home. and boyhoods bright
days:
Then all Is suns hine and brightness within.
And gone IS the night, and there comes back
Win the sweet tune from my old violin.

some of the methods of the republican

the Ledger and the Press, both old re-

upon the minor organs of the interior.
