The following story from the ST.
Louis Globe-Democrat illustrates sew
eral things:
When ]. w. Sherwood. now general
superintendent of the Glover Leaf,
was superintendent of the Big Four,
he had to discharge brakeman for
violation of the rules. The man hung
about the office, asking for a letter Of
recommendation. To get rid of him,
Mr.. Sherwood told w. A. Sullivan, who
was his chief clerk, to write the let
ter. This Mr.. Sullivan did. The man
went out, and returned in half hour.
whats the matter now?" asked Mr..
Sherwood. "That letter you gave me
is all right, isn't it?" "Of course it
is That ought to get you a job any,
where" well, l wish you would read
this letter of recommendation I've got
Mr.. Sherwood and give me job"
Sherwood took the letter on which his
own name was hardly dry, read 1t
carefully, and remarked: II am we'll
acquainted with Sherwood, and any
one he recommends must be all right.
You report to the trainmaster, and tell
him to put you to work"

After the discovery of gold in Cali

Austria demonetized gold; in 1871 Ger
many demonetized silver and remone-
tized gold. To fool greenbacker,"
it would appear as If neither gold nor
silver is money without the fiat" of a
government behind them to make them
such. If the United States were to de-
monetize both gold and silver, would
they still be money? And If it were to
issue full legal tender greenbacks, with
the fiat" wouldn't they still be money
and the world still move. The trouble
with you is that you don't know what
money is, and 1t is doubtful If your saw
dust filled Uranium will ever be able to
grasp the truth. Wealth is the product
of labor; money, its legal representa-
tive, is a product, not of labor, but of
legislation, and only when it is sup
piled by a government in ample vol
ume does it benefit people. Restrict
it's issue below the needs of the people
for exchange and unjust rates of inter-
est are possible; increase the issue so
that the supply equals the demand, and
prosperity comes, gold or no gold, sill
yer or no silver.-Peoples Tribune.

this way OF Increasing paper money We
ought not to lose the blessings of the

loss of silver was stroke against ma

mankind should adopt something bet

suicide to abandon the primitive
source. The soldier who is too easily
satisfied with a pension on the gold

If the lawless, irresponsible dictat-
ors of industry and commerce are sue
cessful, then liberty, constitutional
government and personal security are
at an end, civilization is derailed into
an abyss, and retrogression displaces
progress through another age of bar
barism. Gold becomes the only God,
and bayonets the only prod to duty.
The university, the press and the pull
pit will all be made permanent attach
ments to the one despotic machine
which is to control every source of
communication and instruction, and
stifie all thought and aspiration that
does not strengthen the ruling power.
On the other hand, the peoples victory
will end class rule forever, and grad
ually abolish all special privileges and
monopolies by means of which one

another.-Walter VrOoman in New

Labor Affairs in South Africa.

If any considerable number of AM
erican workmen ever seriously contem-
plated journey to South Africa to bet
ter their fortunes, it would be we'll for
them to make careful inquiry before
taking action Affairs have undergone
considerable change in that far-away
land, as the following extracts from a
letter to this paper from a gentleman
in this city, describing the condition of
things in johannesburg, S. A. R., wiki
show:
The building trade there is in very
deplorable condition and shows no i'm
mediate signs of revival, consequently
it would be very foolish for any OF our
mechanics to leave here with view Of
going out to South Africa and expect
ing to find employment at their trade.
There the building business is carried
on under circumstances such as we are
unaccustomed to, viz, the difficulty OF
getting suitable materials when want
ed. The resources Of the country are
as yet so far untried that almost every
thing, except common bricks and NOR
tar, has to be imported from England
or other countries.
l know of two Chicago men who
went out to johannesburg about three
years ago who heartily wish they were
back again.
The building boom has collapsed
since the Jameson Raid" and also
partly owing to the exhaustion OF
many of the gold mines scattered over
the Rand" Men who used to earn
five dollars a day working in these
mines are now glad to get two dollars,
and the same general conditions affect
the earnings of mechanics in all
branches of business.
The Boer government is considered
by the English speaking people living
under it to be so corrupt and retro
gressive that one never knows what
may happen, but of one thing l am
certain, and that is, an American me-
chanic would chafe increasingly were
he compelled to labor under such a
state of affairs as prevails in the
South African Republic at the present
time

Speaker Reed will hardly thank his
friend Augustus G. Paine for the naive
manner in which the latter gentleman
explains the speakers decision to re-
main in Congress instead of resigning
and engaging in law business in New
York. at is true" says Mr.. Paine,
that the pressure of large CONNER
cial interest has been brought to bear
on Mr.. Reed to induce him to retire
from Congress and come to New York.
Other large interests, however, feel
that Mr.. Reed should remain at the
capitol" The admission that Mr..
Reed lives and moves and has his be-
ing by the grace Of Large commercial
interests" both as speaker and in his
private capacity, is frank and COM
mendable, but it is hardly creditable
to Mr.. Paine's discretion. The speaker
will be justified in feeling that his
friend has violated confidence in CIV
ing to the public arrangements Of a
private AUTHORIZATIONS Gazette.

During the first week in December
the National Prison Association was
in session at Austin, Texas, the result
of their conclusions, comparisons and
Investigations being that the increase
in crime was something frightful to
contemplate. Among the recommen-
dations set forth as the surest way of
checking this growth, we hasten to
place the following before our read
ers:
Greater security of punishment;
doing away with all technicalities in
trials; adjustment Of juries, making
conviction more summary and trial
more speedy; depriving defendants of
the right to appeal to higher court;
offering rewards for the discovery and
conviction of criminals; sterilization of
detectives, both moral and physical;
adjustment of poverty; removing or
restricting the power of pardon; pro-
hibiting the use of intoxicating IL
uuors; reconstruction of the ethical
code of laws; curing inherent defects
in the law as distinguished from its en-
forcement developing scientific
motherhood; state regulation of mar
riage; restricting immigration; popU-
lar education and colonization of Grim
inals; the reformation of criminals by
the abolition of the definite sentence"
There! How does it hit you? OF
course, under such regulations as the
above we would have no criminals. II
one were defective in his mental
moral or physical makeup we might
~sterilize" him. If he was sound in
body and mind and still persisted in
going wrong, we might hang him. This
would be dead easy, so long as there
would be no juries to contend with,
and the right to appeal to higher
court was denied him. 1t is a great
scheme, but it won't work.

Chancery is ordained to supply the
law, not to subvert the law.-Lord Ba-
con.
A plausible pretext for usurpation is
sufficient to men ruled for the lust of
power. They accomplish their designs
in hard cases, which become precedents
for further encroachments, and finally
make shipwreck of the constitution.
A single strand, though woven hard
err than oaken fibers, cannot securely
bind the people who feel it tighten and
pause to investigate its presence; but
if they do not heed it's first constraint
other strands will be alternately
wrought into cable which the
strength of a multitude of Samsons
could not break. Usurpations with no
excuse are not dangerous; but usur-
pations supported by pretenses of pub
lie good, of keeping the peace, of pro-
tecting the innocent, are dangerous
to the last degree. The overshadow-
ing evil that threatens the public well
fare furnishes the dark shade in which
the usurper breeds his precedent while
drowning the public ear with his clam
Ors of patriotism.
Since the dawn of judicial history no
government, save the United States
under the last administration, is re-
corded as having resorted to an in
junction to keep the peace; prevent
crime; quell domestic violence; stop
invasion; suppress insurrection and
rebellion, or to enable the government
to perform its political and police func-
tions.
The earliest cases in England,
whence we derived our system of law
and equity, expressed in the constitu-
tion as basis of federal judicial pow
er, determined the law to be that the
court of ,chancery would not grant an
injunction in a criminal matter" &c
Modern, 16). Only so much as is CIV
lily in question can the chancellor deal
with by injunction, and only then
when the law furnishes no adequate
and complete remedy to protect the
civil matter involved.
Justice Story, judge when law and
the constitution were respected and jul
dicial lust for power was unknown,
says, in his great work on Equity, that
Courts of equity will not exercise
jurisdiction by way of injunction to
stay proceedings in any criminal mat
tiers or in any cases not strictly Of a
civil nature"

ders of labor troubles threatening dis
aster. How to deal with this question
is absorbing the best thought of po-
litical economists of all nations. The
attempt to work its solution by statu-
tory enactment alone is as useless as
to expect evolution without thought.
We are forced to admit that class an
tagonism is fact, not sentiment;
that its source has many feeders.
Those who most critically and philo-
sophically watch the workings OF cur
rent events know that the sharp lines
drawn between capital and labor are
only imaginary barriers, and that with
a better understanding of the purposes
Of each they may become totally OBJ
liberated.
"To be fair we must admit that Ia
Dor has foes in the ranks of capital
a fact deplored by every honest opera
tor or owner of wealth, but labors SUI
premest foe is found among its unprin-
cipled agitators. Among the abuses
of power which operate against con-
ciliation of capital and labor, creating
discord and giving life to socialism,
are false capitalization of properties
and the combination of capital that
stiles small industries. The power OF
money may be so abused as to become
infamous. The powerful machinery
of organized capital should not be used
to crowd out Of existence small pro-
ducers. 1t is not in harmony with
the spirit of our civilization.
For the settlement of these labor
problems l would appoint a national
arbitration board, composed of The
highest minded leaders of labor and
wisest representatives of capital, to
whom all differences Of capital and
labor should be submitted for adjudi-
cation, and whose decision should be
final"

Fight Every Day.

Every time General Grant ordered an
attack on the forces defending negro
slavery, he tried an EXPERIMENT.
Never could he tell exactly what the
result would be. There might be more
dead Union men than Confederates, or
there might possibly be more dead
Confederates than Union men. The
one thing OF which he was certain, how
ever, was that his duty consisted in
going ahead, and, when defeated he
gathered his troops together and tried
again. He knew that, If followed long
enough, his plan would crush the Con-
federacy.
So each attack on the white slave
power to-day is an EXPERIMENT.

The United Trusts and Syndicates,
by experimenting constantly and push
ing forward all along the line and at
the same time by convincing the Unit
ed States not to EXPERIMENT, sue
ceeds in approaching the same relation
to its rival government that live ant
sustains to a dead worm. BY inces-
SAINT and fearless activity, and by using
our constitution, traditions and flag as

When the people attempt to defeat

emissaries of the trusts scatter the peo-

untried and Utopian scheme limo

When the victimized people declare
their independence, through their own
government, of the despotism of the
trusts, it will necessarily be an EX-

The important question for the citi-

PERTINENT, or to be experimental on:
to be the surgeon, or the corpse?-

SHOWING THE WORKING OF

News and Notes from Washington and
Elsewhere-The People Are Many and
Plutocrats Few but the Latter supply
Our Rulers.

The national Republican platform
declared for the freedom of Cuba, but
the administration people, including
Mr.. Reed, who carries the house of
representatives in his pocket, have ex-
perienced change of heart. The gov
eminent is giving all the aid possible
to Spanish tyranny because a lot of
Boston capitalists who own sugar
plantations succeeded in getting troops
enough detailed by Weyler to give ade-
quate protection to their plantations
without paying either troops or insur-
gents. In return they were able TO
show what seemed to be proof of abil-
ity to influence Washington sentiment
They expect the same protection under
Blanco, with the same equivalent on
their part. The arrangement is
good one for the Boston capitalists,
though it bears very heavily on other
Americans whose capital is invested in
Cuban sugar plantations. The Bos-
tonlans, in addition to getting their
sugar marketed cheaper than their
American competitors can possibly do,
bring back American gold, which is
received in payment, change it into
Weyler's script at handsome profit
and pay the laborers on the plantations
in this script. The whole transaction
has been so profitable that their plea
against the United States intervening
in Cuban affairs, on the ground of hui
manity to the starving country people,
was undoubtedly sincere. Interven-
ton on any ground would interfere
with the increased dividends which the
little group of Boston capitalists has
been able to make out of the misery
and the gnawing distress of Cuba.
They have assurance of labor enough
for their plantations, though the rest
of the country population of Cuba may
be exterminated.
The house committee on postofhces
intends to vigorously push the infa-
nous Loud bill for the curtailment OF
second class rates in the interest OF the
plutocratic daily papers. Every Popu-
list should send his protest to some
representative or senator. The Loud
bill stops the mailing of sample copies
Of newspaper and economic libraries at
second class rates, and is designed to
suppress political agitation and pre-
vent competition with existing papers.
Senator Allen of Nebraska intro
duced in the senate a resolution de-
claring it to be the sense of the SEN
ate that congress should, with all due
convenient speed, acknowledge by ap-
propriate act the political indcpend-
ence of Cuba.
The Mckinley prosperity has at last,
after many delays, reached Fall River,
and the Cotton Manufacturers associa-
ton as a result has voted to reduce
wages in all the mills of the city.
Senator Butler, of North Carolina,
spoke at length Monday upon amend
ments he had offered to the bill pre-
viously introduced by him providing
for a postal savings bank system.
Such a system would, in his opinion,
insure greater comfort in the homes of
the plain people of the land, as a great
majority of them would certainly be-
come depositors in such banks.
