Every volunteer carried with him to
the field some of the interest that at
taches to the shield of his State, while
the Regular stood beneath Old Glory
only. Some day the pre-eminence OF
Old Glory will be undisputed, and the
unwelcome politics that now intrude
upon the battlefield through the rival
ry of the States will have happily dis
appeared.-N. Y. Sun.
The above extract foreshadows the
extinction of State Ines and the con-
solidation of the Union into a rigid
centralized government. supreme and
untrammeled, with all local govern
mental organizations eliminated. When
the time comes in which the Suns
ideal shall be realized, then the Hal
cyon days will have returned to the
EARTH Our vulgar plutocracy will
have become a gilded aristocracy. The
exigencies of the new order will have
caused an irresponsible Supreme Court
to interpret the constitution out of ex-
istence, so that my Lord George Gould
and my Lord Andrew Carnegie, Baron
Rockefeller and Earl Havemeyer, may
enjoy the distinctions and titles from
which they are now excluded by a
prejudiced public.
No petty local authority will then
be able to go through the form OF call
ing Vanderbilt to account, or arrest
any member of the golden oligarchy
for a Little Egypt debauch. The COM
mon herd will then be governed for
their good By their more wealthy. and,
therefore, more intelligent superiors.
The man who plows the earth, or
yields the hammer, or delves in the
mine, will not be permitted to inter
fere with the prosperity and progress
of this great nation by means of the
unreasonlng ballot. Has not the OK
as much right to interfere with the
plans of his master as the factory hand
or obscure tiller of the soil to overset
the schemes of the great captains of
industry? Would the good Lord have
given these men great wealth and the
great power that accompanies it il he
had not intended they should rule?

LOOKING into an odd number of the
London Spectator recently, the follow
ing extract from an article entitled,
Rural New England" arrested our
attention.: New England rural life
needs to be recognized from the point
of view of cheerful living, especially
since the WHOLESALE abandonment of
farms. You will constantly pass by
these deserted homesteads, wooden in
construction, generally implanted, with
gambrel roof, and with the large, dark
barn adjoining, a picture OF forlorn
ruin and decay, without its beauty.
In places not far distant from large
towns, however, Italians are taking up
these farms, cultivating fruit and dairy
produce for city markets, and are doing
fairly we'll" So the result of the Gold
Standard and Home Market is TO ex-
patriate the New England farmer and
supplant him with the Italiani Why
is it that where the Gold Standard is
adopted the farm is abandoned? We
do not mean to say that this comes
about all at once, any more than the
oak tree that is cut down to-day rots
and falls to pieces over night. The
fact remains, however, that where the
Gold Standard has been introduced a
marked decay in agriculture has at
once commenced, accompanied by q
decrease in the farming population of
the country adopting it. The Gold
Standard in 1896 was announced as
the harbinger OF higher civilization.
Is the Italian higher type than the
Yankee he supplants? We would like
some OF our Gold Standard friends to
explain how It happens that gold and
agricultural depression go hand in

At St. Louis | stopped only long

absolutely too hot in the city, and the
only excuse people there can offer for
remaining in the city, when houses at

either blissfully ignorant of the heat

The regiment was ordered away. The
comrades OF the imprisoned men felt
that it would be infamous to leave
their brothers in arms IN the hands of
mere Insignificant municipal authori-
ties. They felt that the imprisoned
men were employees of the United
States, and that the local authorities
of the State of Florida had nothing 10
do with them. They were far above
the jurisdiction of any State or NUM-
cipality in this Union. They were
convinced that this cation should make
bare its strong arm for the protection
of its servants; so some thirty or forty
of them went to the Tampa Jail and

without the bold formalities of habeas
corpus proceeding, and jauntlly rode
away with them, leaving the State of

to do about the matter. Another at
tempt was made to rescue some negro

authorities, but such fierce fire was
opened on the rescuing party that it had

blue coat can successfully defy the

why cannot the colOred man in brown
coat, or who has no coat whatever, do
the same thing? We call the atten-
ton of our railroads, the Standard Oil
Company, the Sugar Trust, and other
syndicates who rule this land, to the
above facts. Here is a class of men
without domestic ties that bind, who
have not the least state pride. who
mean business every time they shoot.
Why not fill armies with these men?
No party of strikers, male or female,
adults or children, would stand before
them. They would have no qualms of
conscience over doing their duty. They
would preserve order with a strong
hand and see to it that the local au-
thorities should be held in proper
subordination to the national govern
ment. How useful a negro army
would be if the time should ever come
for the setting aside of the Constitution
and laws OF our people for their own
good! The despised negro will be a
great instrument for the saving of the
people from themselves when the
Trusts and Syndicates see the necessi-
ty of such action.

A PosToFFIcE RULING.
An Order Regulating the Second
Class Newspaper Privilege.

The Postoffice Department has issued
an order to publishers of periodicals and
papers commanding them to have their
business Offices at the places where they
secured their permit to use the mails with
the second-class privilege. In other
words. If paper is entered at the
postoffice of Cincinnati, the publisher
cannot advertise his Office at "So-and-so,
Such-and-such Street, New York, where
all communications should be addressed -
This order is made for various reasons
One is that certain class of not too
reputable journals are ostensibly publish
ed in some Western or Northern town.
when the persons responsible for them
are far cut of the way in New York or
some other big city. The papers attack
citizens of the city where these papers
are supposed to be published, and when
the irate or wronged individuals who have
been made the object of attack seek for
reparation or justice they find that the
owners of the papers are out of reach.
The Postoffice Department believes that
II publisher is given the second-rate
privilege in a certain town, he ought to
transact his business there.

will undoubtedly be a large one the pres
ent state of war will prevent the attend
ance of many who would otherwise be
