DUTY OF VOTING.

Every democrat ought TO vote at
th) primaries. Any country that is
worth running is worth running well,
and any man VINO leaves the business
of voting TO others has no right to
complain of the kind of government
ne gets. In a republic IL is the duty
Of every citizen TO vote, and guide
gence that should be possessed by ey-
cry sovereign. No man can afford TO
delegate to others either his voting
or his thinking. There never was
Ia period when history was made any
faster than it is being made at the
present, There is q general awalI.
ening TO all kinds of abuses, and
money is no longer serving as a mask
for respectability. This has largely
boon brought about by the people do
ing some voting on their own judg-
ment, and throwing aside tho collar
OF partly politics.
Jerome OF New York and Moran
of Boston are products Of independ-
ent voting and thinking. Thieves of
high degree are kept busy lodging
the shafts Of the peoples vengeance.
John d. Rockefeller has been keeping
out OF the way of q subpoena for Il
year. The federal court at Boston
last week made H. II, Rogers cough
up three millions that he criminally
pocketod under the old regime, Tho
The Board of Review, Of Chicago
claims two millions Of back taxes
from the Marshal Field estate, The
stock fighter and the tax dodgers
both dead and alive, are under Il
fire that shows no signs of cessa-
ton, and will no doubt carry the
good work into every nook and COR
ner of the land, all brought about
by the people stopping long enough
to think for whom and for what they
are voting.

TIE PANAMA CANAL.

countries, because It could be bunt ia

ominous warning by the serious acct
dent IN the Manchester, England,
ship canal Tho engineers, in their
evidence before the senate committee,
argued against tho plan OF putting
three locks in flight at Gatun, says
The New York Post, as in the accept
ed project for the Panama canal,
pointing out the peril OF thus putting
all the eggs in one basket. They
maintained that IL, by accident,
ship should get out of control and
crash through the gates OF one lock-
she would be certain to carry out all
three; whcreupon the canal would
be drained and 1t would be the worl,
Of two or three years to put Humpty
Dumpty back again. Well, some
thing very like that, In miniature,
happened at the lrlam locks OF the
Manchester canal, a steamer Of only
700 tons, the CassiU, by some blum
der, made for the wrong lock, instead
Of the one filled TO receive her.
Though she had but little way on her
she smashed through one OF the
gates, the weight OF water broke In

which were promptly set, We're also
speedily swept away and all the

doubt but it would, in the end, be

THE GHoULIsH COFFIN TRUST

THE GHOULISH COFFIN TRUST.
OF all the trusts, the ghouls Of the
Coffin trust are the most despicable,
They prey upon the poor in the hour

been depleted by the enforced nom
earning power of the bread winner,
The cheap box, called u coffin, with
It's tawdry trappings that cost but a

sents weeks Of labor. This Coffin trust
is protected by the republican tariff
from competition by an import duty
of 35 per cent, under the paragraph
in the tariff law Of manufactures Of
wood nat specially provided for. Thus
the republican standpatters have
made the government the partner
and professor of this ghoulish trust,
which adds to the misery Of the be-
reaved ones by the imposition Of u
tax upon a necessity when least able
to bear It.
One of the first duties of a demo-
cratic congress will be to amend the
