SOCIALISM IS COMING.

The people of Chicago are after the boodlers
with sharp stick Boodling aldermen have
chance to see how it will feel to swing from
lamp post-unless they heed the demands of
the people.
The trouble grew out of the street-railway
franchise
Chas. T. Yerkes, the streetrailway magnate,
bought the last Illinois legislature (Which was
largely Republican,, and secured legislation
giving him hfty-year franchise of the streets
of Chicago, by which he was enabled to build
his lines through any of the streets, to the ex-
clusion Of any one else, whether the people
liked it or not The city council was about to
pass an ordinance ratifyng the act of the leg
slature, but the people "got onto the scheme"
and trouble begun to brew.
Indignation meetings have been held, and
threats of hanging boodng aldermen freely
INDUCED in. The people are tired OF the grasp
ing policy of Yerkes and his crowd, and they
propose to put stop to his system of legalized
plumber. The idea of municipal railways has
taken hold of the citizens of Chicago and they
are loudly camoring for PUBLIC OWNERSHIP.
We are glad to note that Mayor Harrison is
with the people, and that he is iii full accord
with the idea OF municipal ownership OF the
street railways. We hope that the plan will be
pushed to completion; that the battle will be
fought to finish
With public ownership of railways III city
like Chicago, large opening wedge will have
been used-the ice will be broken-and other
cities will rapidly fall in line. This accom-
plished, public ownership is assured, and it
will grow of its own volition

better than robbers, and that they weie wholly
unfit for self-government. That gave the Wash
inston government opportunity to formulate its
scheme to possess itself Of the island. The
people were beginning to believe the Cubans
were not qualified for self-government, and that
long, if not permanent, American protecto-
rate would be necessary. But by degrees, the
truth came out. General Miles report and in
terviews fatty contradict Skaters reports. So
does General Wheeler's, and so do the observa-
tions of visitors to the island. But it would
seem that General Garcia's death in sight of
the White House was needed to call the atten-
ton of the people to the surprising fact that
the doors of the government are barred and
locked against official representatives Of the
Cuban congress- sent to Washington to help
to consummate the purpose for which Ameri.
cans declared war against Spain, namely, the
independence of Cuba.

THE IMAM AND BROTHER"

w. B. Townsend, of Leavenworth, colored
man, went before the Republican convention as
candidate fer the office of auditor of state
He was promptly turned down. However, he
was bred to make speeches tor the party dur
ing the campaign, and is probably satisfied
though he may get little job under Stanley
Last week, the Fair Plav, colored paper
published at Ft. Scott, lauds the g. o. p. to the
skies, and tells what good man Stanley is, but
before the editor closes his article, he tells the
Republicans managers that if they fail to give
certain colored men some of the pie-naning
the editor and manager Of Fair Play as one of
them-all the fat will be in the fire. This is
bluff however, and the 6. o. p. managers know
it. Possibly they will make the Fair Play man
spittoon-cleaner to Governor Stanley. lit doesn't
take much 10 satisfy such men as he.
