THE END OF A MODEL TOWN.

A circuit court decree Just issued in
Chicago brings to an end what was in
its time a famous model-town expert
ment. The decree provides that the
Pullman Palace Car company must
within five years dispose Of 1900 resi-
dences, hotels, theatres, churches and
other buildings and accessories not ac-
tually used in the business covered by
the charter of the company-namely,
the building and operating of passenger
cars.
The great Chicago strike, which origi-
mated in the Pullman shops, focused the
eyes of the whole country on this
"model town." Heretofore the worlds
knowledge of the methods of conduct
ing the town came exclusively through
the business Office of the company.
Visitors,and writer's were ''steered" by
the Pullman managers, and the work
mems views found no place in the
numerous write-ups of the experiment.
The strike brought with 1t Investigations.
1t was discovered that the workmen
who were obliged to rent houses In the
Pullman village were compelled to pay
exorbitant water and gas rates to the
company and the rental was high as
compared with Chicago. The indebted
ness of employees was always deducted
from their wages. Where everything
was the property Of the company, NO
civic spirit existed among the citizens,
And it was further disclosed by an eX
animation of the state charter under
which the Pullman company was or.
ganized that it did not.permit engaging
in any other business than car building,
The case was fought from court to
court until the final decree has just beer
reached as stated.

Abbott passes over the Magma Charta of
King John and tackles the Declaration
of Independence, heretofore enormously
asserted by an endless line of Fourth of
July orators and whole libraries of
school histories to be the "bulwark of our
liberties" DR.. Abbott In the last Issue
of his imperialistic pamphlet, "The Out
look" waves aside the Declaration with
all the ~self-satisfied assurance ever
shown by Mr.. Podsnap in waving out of
existence everything that was not Eng
lish. TO be sure there is that little snag
to the effect that governments "derive
their Just powers from the consent Of the
governed" but that is merely parentheti-
and doesn't count. DR.. Abbott says so,
and hasn't DIR. Abbott discovered errors
in Scripture never before noticed?
AS a matter of fact, and as clearly es.
tablished by DR.. Abbott-to his W sat-
isfaction, again-this here Declaration
of independence on which we have prid-
ed ourselves for the last century and a
quarter isn't a declaration of personal
liberty and the right of self-government
at all. 1t is just a notice of dissolution
of partnership, as it were. According
to DR.. Abbott, the only basis we have
for referring to this state paper as a
precedent lies In its assertion that gov
ernments exist for the benefit of the
governed. If Washington had set up as
king and administered the government
on this theory, it would have been in &C.
cord with the spirit Of the Declaration
if we are to believe DR.. Abbott. In fact,
the trainers of the Constitution were
totally befuddled on this point, and
wholly misinterpreted the Declaration Of
Independence-not having a DR.. Abbott
among them.
All this being true, what folloWsf
WHY, Just this: All of US who have bas-
ed u opposition to forcing the Filiplnos
at the point of the bayonet to accept our
sovereignty on the ground that it Is in
consistent with the Declaration of indie
pendence, haven't a leg to stand on,
DR.. Abbott has tripped us all fiat. II
after killing off nine-tenths of the Fill
pinos, we give the remaining tenth a
government arranged for their best in.
terests Eve being the Judges of what
those interests are), the spirit of our
Declaration will have been carried out
according to DR.. Abbott.

The Manchester Mirror and Farmer is
getting facetious, as witness the follow
ing from its editorial page this week:
We have long been aware that the eff
forts of our early teachers to instruct us
in the English language were not very
successful, but 1t Is only recently that we
have come to feel how woefully ignorant
of our mother tongue we are. We did
suppose that while w could not write it
very well we could comprehend the
meaning of language as it is spoken and
written In thisc country, but we confess
that much of it which now finds its way
into print is worse than Greek to us, and
the more we read the more tangled and
twisted we are.
For example, when we find President
Mckinley prefacing his expansion pro-
gram with the statement that forcible
annexation of any of the territory we
have wrestcd from Spain would be
''criminal aggression" and that our
policy, which finds expression in whole
sale slaughter and carnage, is one of
''benevolent assimilation :" when we hear
Secretary Long declaring that 10 one
connected with the administration favors
the ''subiugation'' of the Filipinos, who
are offered by the administration only a
llOINC
and death, and when we are told that we
are killing these poor devils by the
thousand in defense of the principle of
our constitution, that ''all governments
receive their just powers from the con-
sent of the governed we confess that
we dOn't know where in the dictionary
we are at for when we went to school
benevolent assimilation didn't mean
butchery, and subjugation meant Just
what we are doing to Aguinaldo and his
followers, and the consent of the govern
ed was not obtained in this country by
the use of armies and navies. The new
version is all right, of course. Far be it
from us to dispute it. The only trouble
is that it takes an imperlalist to under
stand it and we are not an lmperialist.
Ignorant and old-fashioned as we are
we should get along better il they would
talk as the Reverend Doctor G. p. Hen
son did at the expansion meeting In
Chicago the other Sunday. He said:
And so today there are those that wave
the Declaration of Independence in our
faces and tell us that the thing to do is to de.
liver over these islands of the archipelago in
masters; for : all governments derive their
Just powers from the consent of the gov.
erned So wrote Thomas Jefferson. Do
you>remember that the Lord said to Joshua,
"Mv servant is dead?" And so is Thomas
jefferson. I do not believe that Thomas
Jefferson was infallible. | believe that a
live president in the year of grace 1899 is
just as much OF an authority as a president
that lived and died 100 years ago. | am no
wOrshiper of a saint just because he is dead
Let the dead bury the dead. AS to that hal
lowed document that declares that all gov
ernments derive their just powers from the
consent of the governed, IL that is to be
literally construed there never was a greater
falsehood palmed off by the devil upon q
credulous world.
We can understand that.
