papers devote considerable space 10 CUM
ments on the treatment by the American
authorities of Mo miners in the Cripple
Creek district, and, incidentally, the Ger
man government comes in for a certain
amount Of praise in this connection.
In a leading article commenting on the
persecution of the union miners a promi-
nent socialistic paper in this city says
editorially:
ITO those who were wont to consider
the grsat republic on the other side of the
Atlantic a haven of refuge for the down
trodden classes the course of political
events In America is greatly regretted,
with every safeguard thrown around
the freedom and liberty for which their
forefathers fought the great Intelligent
American people has allowed the power 10
drift into the hands of a few.
DAILY II becomes more and more evil
dnt that the United States is no longer a
democratic republic, but a mighty world
bower governed by an oligarchy of pluto
Gratis.
THE worship of money and the reckless
use of II by scheming magnates in cor
rupting legislatures is the primary cause
of this change which seems almost in
credible.
Violating State Laws.
I'm Colorado, the so-called higher classes
that is to say, the millionaire mine own
ers--and their followers are daily violat-
ing the laws of the state to annihilate
workingmen, whose only crime is that
they have formed unions for their W
protection, unions which are perfectly
legal under the existing laws of the state.
'fWorkingmen have been corraled into
pens as If they were wild beasts and, not
having a place to Danish these unfortu-
nate people to, they have been deported
into a neighboring state, Kansas. One
wonders what the next stage of the MILL
tary tyrant will be.
1--WE socialists In Germany have been
subject to much oppression, and there Is
little doubt that the late Prince Bis
marck, in his palmy days, would have
liked to have treated German working
men in the same manner, but with hun
dreds of thousands OF bayonets behind
him he did not dare TO do this.
Comparison Favors Germany.
Nobody will think of accusing our pres
eut German government OF loving the So
cialists or the labor unions overmuch,
but IL knows hat should Ii ever try TO
treat German subjects as citizens of Col
orado are being treated today the flames
Of revolution would spread over the eoun-
try like wildhre.

we live would never think of violating
the law to crush the Iaboring classes, and
the labor bureau in Berlin has even in
some respects done good work for the
w~orkingmen. but not so in the land of
the free n the home Of the brave.
And the government Of the United
States, the republican party now in pow
or has the effrontery TO give them a
chance to continue this sort of regime for
four years more.
'One might be tempted 10 say that the
American laboring men deserve what they
get, when their votes give them power to
shake off their yoke at any time.
surely no other people would have as
much patience as the American, but that
patience has ceased to be q virtue.
The Vice Traffic.
Reports from the various anti-vice So
cieties in Germany show that the per-
nicious traffic OF exporting young girls,
especially from small provincial towns
and villages to transatlantic ports where
they are delivered to d%isorderly houses,
has again increased to an alarming ex-
tent.
Agents representing houses Of this kind
in New York, Philadelphia, New Orleans
and Buenos Ayres are more active than
ever, and in spite of the watchfulness OF
the police authorities !. - 20 secret that

Story Much Exaggerated.
Some time ago the people OF Aedenbura
