their eager rush to buy In order to

There were some relapses in the more

generally strong and active and near

showed II material increase over those
prevailing for the last few days. The
bears were inclined to continue their
campaign when the market opened
this morning, and they effected

But they soon became aware that

Loss in Manhood.

One of the most-to-be-regretted fea-
tures Of the mad rush for consolidation
Of industries and community of inter
estsn is .he loss or personal equa ion be-
tween old employer and long faithful
employees. This is being wiped out
fast, and with it one of the best attri-
butes of the human family. In return
a skilled mechanic will now work for
the impersonal trust which has no in
terest in him whatever. 1t is well
enough to say that q man who makes
himself indispensable will be advanced,
but these openings are necessarily few
And hundreds of men are indispensable
in the aggregate though not individual
ly. Under such conditions labor should
unite and weld with coordinate organ
iza'ions in every way, and the humane
and liberty-loving should stand with
them in their efforts to guard Against
the marble heart.-Durango Democrat.

The Church Militant.

For thorough-going brutality and a
downright lust for blood and rarice,
commend us 10 your sanctimonious
man of God, and his journals. Amid
all the jingo hooligan bowling of the
past eighteen months no voices have
shrieked louder than those of the peo-
pie and press which are supposed to be
devoted TO the prince of Peace The
most outrageous atrocities in South AT
rica and China have met the hearty
and enthusiastic approval Of both par
son and parsonical press, and many of
our readers will doubtless remember
the incident narrated by DIR. Conan
Doyle of n parson who expressed his
indignant impatience because the sold
iers Were not quick enough in setting
fire to Boer farm. The following
from the Church 1'imesn fairly repre-
sents the clerical sentiment with regard
to warfare: ''There are namby-pamby
individuals in our midst today who
think to build by pen and intellect the
New Jerusalem in England's green and
pleasant land He who would learn to
love must first learn to hate; and the
man who would shrink from using shot,
shell and bayonet is a poor fellow who
will become extinct by the operation of
the law Of the survival of the fittest."

There is no denying that the revenues
Of the state are inadequate for the needs
of the state government and there is
also every reason to believe that the
revenue bill introduced by Speaker
Montgomery should become a law,
with some slight changes. Atthe same
time some of the state officials can cut
down the expenses of their offices and
the legislature might abolish the graft
of couple of night watches, two or
three door keepers, few assistant SER
geants at arms, matrons of the ladies'
galleries and pages. The cry that the
measure will drive capital from the
state is the worst of prattle. 1t will do
nothing of the kind. Such cry is all
ways raised whenever any measure is
proposed, that will reach the tax
dodgers, but everything is lovely when
a little more tax is to be added to the
farmer, who is already bearing more
than his share of the burden. The
farmer has no means Of getting any Of
his property out of sight of the assessor,
but the money-loaners, stockholders,
and people who are crying that '.capi-
tai will leave the state,' usually sue
ceed in lodging the taxes on about 80
per cent of their holdings. Pass the
measure and enforce it to the letter.
