h1enl9 on the treatment by the American
authorities Of union miners in the CrIppl
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 tn,
persecution of the union miners a proni

cditorially:
ITO those who were wont to conside,
the great republic on the other side of tn,
Atlantic a haven of refuge for the down
erodden classes the course of politica
events in America Is greatly regretted.
With every safeguard thrown arount
the freedom and liberty for which thei
lorefatl,ers fought the great intelligen
american people has allowed the power t
drift into the hands of a few.
Daily it becomes more and more evil

The worship of money and the reckless
use OF It by scheming magnates in cor

OF this change which seems almost in.

Violating State Laws.
1n.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 own
protection, unions which are perfectly
teeal under the existing avs of the state.
Workingmen ave been corraled into
pens as IL they were wild beasts and, not
having a place to Danish these unfortu-
nate people to, they have been deported
into q ~neighboring state, Kansas. One
wonders what the next stage of the mill
etary tyrant will be.
We socialists in Germany have been
subject to much oppression, and there is
little doubt that the late Prince Bis
naarck, In his palmy days, would have
liked to have treated German working
men In the same manner, but with hun
rdreds Of thousands Of bayopets behind
him he did not dare to do this.
Comparison Favors Germany.
Nobody will think OF accusing our pres
sHnt German government of loving the So
-CiaItsts or the labor unions overmuch,
but 1t knows that should it ever try to
treat German subjects as citizens of Col
.storado are being treated today the flames

The kaiser is at least fighting us fairly,
the &monerch!at-government under which
we live would never think Of violating
the law to crush the laboring 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 and the home Of the brave
And the government OF the United
states. the republican party now in pow
er has the effrontery to give them a
chance to continue this sort of regime for
-four years more.
One might be tempted to say that the
iaAfnertcan 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 a virtue"
The Vice Traffic.
REPORTS from the various anti-vice So
Hcfetses In Germany show that the per-
,slicious traffic OF exporting young girls,
especially from small provincial towns
and villages to transatlantic ports where
they are delivered to disorGerly houses,
again increased to an alarming ex-
tent.
Agents representing houses OF this kind
I'm New York, Philadelphia, New Orleans
and BueHos Ayres are more active than

.the police authorities 1t is no secret that
shundreds OF girls leave here every month
ITO be sold in the modern slave markets of
western hemisphere.
The chief of police in Berlin a few days
Issued a circular to the police author
tiles of all own and cities announcing
the organization Of the society for
the prevention Of the international sale
OF girls had now been perfected. and asked
Cor vigorous cooperation from the police
authorities.
The secret service department. which
charge OF watching the movement OF
anarchists, has been ordered to give part
Of its time to watching agents for I'M
moral houses. and has been provided with
all data and facts gathered by the Anti
Vice society.
The arrest of several American agents
whose names are known to the police is
expected to follow in a very near future
and they are being carefully Swallowed.
Sufficient Proof is said to be in the
of the authorities to send half a
dozen Of them to the pen:tentiary, while
rant their expulsion from the country.
Story Much Exaggerated.
Some time ago the people of Aedenburg
were greatly excited at the report that a
