This distaste has been "growing"
more or less since the days of, that

after her little adventure that, to
prevent scandal in the future. she
would "marry and. settle down."
1t seemed to be the safest method.
This idea has prevailed somewhat.
every since, but the '"distaste" has

becoming susceptibly educated is 3 glaring evidence of lack of sag gacity on the part of him who tries it.
 And this was especially. true of the situation in Chicago in this recent contest. For we find that. out of the total of 297,OOO votes cast the com bined Socialist vote was only little over 7,O00-about one-fourth of the plurality of the successful candidate. Why is it that thinking men--men with active brain power enough to think themselves out..of conventional ruts, seem never to be- able to ac. quire the sagacity of realizing that the average mortal is Tho good" as a reformer. That he may be utilized to assist in reform work under certain circumstances, but as a working fac tor, never. Thousands of,years oftrial have demonstrated this. How in significant as we'll as utterly impo- tent appear those 1000 Chicago votes beside this 157,OOO for the winning candidate. Yet should the, 1000 be employed in another way they might be made to completely control the situation. That number at the pri- maries of the successful party would doubtless have done so with saga cious management. And a political party demQnstrating its inability of fulfilling its mission is soon regarded as a nuisance, even by the greater part of those of the community whose interests it was especially designed to serve.
 The Cooperative Commonwealth" will never come through direct appeal to the people The activity of the self-seeking and designing pol itician with the ipertion of the aver. age citizen settles that for sure.

Kill themselves slowly, painfully dying at their work, that we may add to our comforts or our pleasures.
 This astonishing blindness of modern society can be accounted for in only one way. When the world goes bad ly, men always invent an explanation, according to which their bad acts are made to be unintentional, unpreventa- ble, resulting from immutable laws which are beyond their control. .
 In ancient times the explanation was made that the unchangeable will of God had decreed that some should be in high places, others in low places, obliged to work: some should produce while others enjoyed all that was good in life. Upon this theme libraries of books were. written and sermons preached almost without end. They were to prove that God had created men different-slaves and masters and that all should be content with their lots.
 Then 1t was decreed that the slaves should be rewarded in another world. Later 1t was explained that the slave should still be slave but that the master should treat him iBdulgently. And at last, since the enfranchisement of slaves has come, this, the most re- cent, explanation: Riches have been confided by God to certain men that they may employ them in good works, and then the riches of the one class and the poverty of the other will work no harm.
 These explanations have for long time satisfied the rich and the poor, especially the rich. But there now comes an epoch when these excuses are insufficient, above all for the poor, who begin to comprehend their situa- ton. and in order to satisfy them 1t will be necessary to evolve new theo- ries, theories which will enable us to escape from the situation to which our minds have been so long accustomed, the relation among human beings of master and man. owner and slave Count Leo Tolstoi in New York Jour- nal.

SATURDAY, APRIL 1s, 1901.
AS OTHERS SEE US.

Here is something from an Eng fish newspaper-the Manchester Guardian, giving us an idea of how our work of benevolent assimilation" in the Philippines is regarded by others:-
 There have been more wicked wars than that against the liberties of the Filipinos, but there has never been a more shabby one.
 Had Aguinaldo been captured in some spirited action, American in- terest in the war might have revived. Instead of that, his capture was effected by piece of sharp practice thoroughly in keeping with the rest of the war.
 Of all the curious motives, noble and ignoble, out of which the war sprang, only the element of hypoc- ricy seems to have retained its orig inal vigor. The only person who neither suspected traitors nor em- ployed traitors was Aguinaldo.
 The white man has had to bend low to get the burden on his should CTS.
 Yes, this has been the liberty-lov- ing Americans exemplifcation of stepping to conquer. Everything connected with this raid on the Fili- pino people smacks strongly of the American politician, from the Presi-
 nfmdown to the meanest specimen of the ward heeler tribe. The Guar dian's more wicked wars may pos sibly refer to the war of it's own nation on the Transvaal people. This, wicked as it is, cannot com pare with the meanness of our American attack on the Filipinos. . There was some excuse at least, on the face of the situation, for the ac- ton of the British government in South Africa, because of the friction there between the Afrikander and Ouitlander, but there was never the basis for even the semblance of an excuse for our war on those little brown people of the Orient striving to effect their independence from the relentless rule of the Spaniard.

PROTESTS A CARNEGIE GIFT.
A Pennsylvania Union That Remem-
 bcrs Homestead.

Division 60 of the Amalgamated As- sociation of Street Railway Employees of Newcastle, Pa., in filing protest against the acceptance of $5O,OO0 from Andrew Carnegie for a library there states:
 That such donations are inimical to that independence American manhood is assumed to possess on general prin- ciples and especially so in this case, when such fragrant injustice, even to murder, has been done to those whose toll is represented in every dollar of the money thus rendered.
 "It was we'll said by a delegate that between the lines of books thus obtain ed one could easily see the sweat and blood of thousands of workers and on the margins of every page the tragedy of Homestead.
 "The spirit of hero worship that prompts the acceptance of such gifts and that looks upon structures thus erected as monuments to the memory of the donor is only another form of manifesting the spirit of the subject for the monarch, q recognition of the divine right of kings on the one hand and utter disregard of how the money was obtained on the other.
 "To erect such library here and by its silent or its partisan, outspoken h. f1uence induce our children to look up on 1t as logical, necessary and un- avoidable method of obtaining certain benefits tends to destroy in their minds any idea of national justice or human rights and make of them willing sup plicants at the mercy of this system of corporate greed which deals out part of the sum in charity 1t originally ap- propriated from the producers to whom alone 1t rightfully belongs, which sum if they had fully received would have enabled them to have owned library instead of now being. as are all others who are similarly robbed, the objects of charity. sa d.
 "Ts would be something like sem- blance of justice if these donations were made to the widows and orphans of Homestead. We deem them as worthy of remembrance as the Maine.
 "A city will enrich enormously few men and then be itself an object of charity.
 we therefore condemn this library move as an insult to him 1t is said it will benefit most, the workingman. He does not want charity, but justice"

CASTING PEARLS BEFORE
 SWINE

At the late municipal election of i Chicago, our Socialist friends outdid the record for political disintegra- tion by placing three tickets in the field instead of two. This time the caption Socialist" alone was found designating one while the usual Social Democrat" and Socialist Labor" did service for the others. However, there was one suggestive gleam of hope discernible in the triangular unsagaciousness -the ticket captioned "Socialist" polling nearly double the number of votes of the other two combined. This because the Socialist" faction represents the wisdom of those who are tired of or disgusted with the antics of the other fellows, who although having for their shibboleth the sentiment, Working men of all countries, unite !" are determined on being divided them selves.
 Yet to practical minds 1t will ap- pear as rather dubious philosophy for those who would see all Socialists united, to strive for .unification by the creation. of still another faction. Better work on in silence keeping away from the polls entirely, letting the foolish factionists wear themselves weary in their patriotic but ill-advised work of casting pearls before swine. People entirely unaware of the char acteristics of the animal might be excused for doing this once, as an experiment, but repeating it year after year in the hope of the herd

John Burns, M. F.; Thomas Burt, M. F., and other English labor leaders are comforting in regard to the feasibility of the proposed federation of the en- ployers' and employees unions, to be known as the National Federation of Masters Associations and Trade Unions, the objects being to educate employers and employees in respect to the expansion of British trade and to devise means to meet foreign competi- ton.
 The preliminary work Is being chiefly confined to the iron and steel trades, which through fears of inroads by the new American steel combination seem particularly anxious for some organiza- tion which will present 8 united front.

 danger of vitiating the ballot by rum
 ming it with one name for assessor Instead of two, the name of the Re- publican candidate who feared defeat was placed on the Democratic ticket also, thus ensuring the election of the whole three without possible danger to any of them from any direction whatever. And this with drawal of the Democratic nominee was effected in the face of a public assurance of one of the henchmen at the nominating convention, that it
 would not be done this time-the same trick having been played at the previous election. .... ..-... This is the Democratic machine that the newly organized Democratic club was striving to drive out of business. But because of a little moisture in the atmosphere on the evening of the primaries, the mass of honest Democrats of the city felt in- disposed to leave their homes to as- sist in the very commendable work. Not so with the henchmen of the machine. A thorough canvass was made by them, every dive and place of questionable repute being called upon to send out their patrons on that evening to "dawn the cranks" seeking to redeem the name of de- mocracy in the city from its long, endured debasement. And the "cranks" were downed accordingly.

A CHARACTERISTIC LETTER


 The following characteristic letter was received last week from Mayor Jones of Toledo in reply to a few words of congratulation sent. him on his repeated victory for good gov ernment and social progress:-
 Toledo, O., April 5. 19O1-Thanks for your kind words of congratula- ton. The victory belongs to all of the people. I am merely one in the mass and have done nothing more than millions of men and women all over the world are doing as they go about their daily work; that is, I have tried to be true to my Higher Self and do my plain duty without fear or favor or hope or expectation of re- ward or recompense other than comes from the consciousness of be- ing at peace with my own soul That is the highest reward we have any right to expect, here or hereafter.
 The victory is the beginning of the end of partyism. The slogan of the campaign has been, always vote, own yourself, be free. This cry will go on until the last soul on the planet has declared its own liberty, its emancipation from servitude to parties, bosses or kings of any sort and the world will be free.
 May it be as the good man sayeth, surely freedom away from the
 
 fetich and dominion of party is a consummation most devoutly to be wished, but our understanding of how 1t is to be done without a party to do it, is somewhat confusing. Nothing can be done for the accom- plishment of any great undertaking without organization, and organiza- ton implies, if it doesn't positively indicate, the existence of party. Tn other words, will 1t not necessitate the existence of party to establish
