The editor was born and reared in
the South where chattel slavery. with
all of its horrors obtained. We have
seen it all. For one man to be owned by
another man is an awf1l thing. But
there is another side TO it. When We
call to mind the husking bee, the pos
sum hunt and the sweet, plaintive
melodies that enlivened the cabin
homes Of these people whose only life
burden was to do the will of their mas
ters, and compare that life with that OF
one whose existence is one round of
ceaseless toll and anxiety, 1t is with
difficulty that we refrain from the wish
that we had been born a hundred years
sooner, and that we had been black in.
stead of white. Chattel slavery at its
worst is heaven itself to that of indus.

Tom WATSON has declined to accept
the f'opulist nomination for governor

be says that his candidacy would

under the corrupt system in that state
fair election is almost impossible.
Under the circumstances Mr.. Watson
believes that new man not so often.

lowing stirring appeal: "Let no man

FOR THE CORPORATIONS.
Century

Twentieth Century.
A calculation has been made of the
amount OF money expended By corpo-
rations in securing legislation favora-
BILE to themselves. The calculation re-
fers only to the city of New York and
1t includes simply the sums spent in
Albany when the Legislature is in ses-
sion. The sum total is positively ap-
palling. It reaches $40, 900 900 year,
the largest item in the list. 81, OO0, 900,
being credited to the railway combina-
ton known as the Joint Traffic AssOci-
alton. The none y is used for no other
purpose than securing favorable Iegis-
Iation. A most interesting picture
might be drawn of the happiness that
could be effected through wise use OF
this sum of $40, 600, 600. But it is a
waste of time to think about that. Ii
remains only to consider how the PEG.
pie can expect to compete with the
corporations in the matter Of law max
ing. They simply cannot do it. Con.
sequently we must not be surprised il
the laws are all made for one class
The corporations do not deny that
they spend money for legislation. But
they ingeuiously plead that there il
nothing else for them to do. The
kind of legislation they want can only
be had by paying for it. The fact is
that the corporations look upon them
selves as injured innocents. They be.
Iieve their own prosperity to be equiva
lent to the prosperity OF the country
and when they want any law making
done they want it done for nothing
The idea of paying for 1t revolts them
But they pay for it, none the less.

WHEN a man enters the
army simply because he has
no other place to go to be
assured a living, he will not
make a good soldier. He has
no interest in the country be-
cause he owns none of it and
must pay for the privilege of
living in it. When he goes
into battle it is immaterial
with him whether he gains a
victory or suffers defeat. Vic.
tory will do him no good and
defeat can harm him no more.
He is simply halting between
two evils with no great con.
Germ as to whether he lives or
dies. We repeat that the
man who enters the army I'm.
der these conditions is of
poor service to himself and
the country. Give all men
an equal race in life and hope
will again spring forth.

The killing of VIC. Brann,
editor of the Iconoclast, re-
moves the worlds ablest and
most fearless writer from
the journalistic field. Brann
was radical-perhaps too rad
zealand he owes his death
to his keen pen, but his criti-
cism was right. The world,
like at the time John Brown
was hung, is not ready to &C
cept his elevated ideas of re-
form at this time. But the
man who sent the bullet
through Mr.. Brann's body
was similarly served by a
bullet fired by Brann. The
result is that too leading
characters of Waco have been
removed to the silent city
while the world at large is
left to reflect on the deeds
and misdeeds of each. The
time should be at hand when
men can write their opinions
without fearof the death pen
atty.
