A Minneapolis preacher, whose name
is synonymous with sensationalism and
notoriety, spoke at the Unique theater
on Francisco Ferrer, the Spanish anar-
chist, and declared that the "lovable
old man. had the mockery of a trial as
unfair as that of Christ before Plate.
Barcelona was under martial law when
Ferrer's trial came off in that city on
Oct. 9, before military tribunal con-
sisting Of Lieut.. Col. Don Eduardo de
Aguirre Lacalle and six captains, and
in the presence Of 200 reporters and
about $50 of the general public. Twen-
ty-eight days had been given him to
prepare for his trial and nobody offered
him any help. A captain of engineers,
Don Francisco Galceran, was appointed
his counsel and had eight days to pre-
pare for the trial. Fifteen witnesses
testified in the case, but none appeared
in his behalf. His counsel made a
brilliant and eloquent plea for him
and Ferrer himself was permitted to
speak and what he said in his own be-
half produced an unfavorable impress
sion on those in the court room. He
was escaping from the burning city
on arrival Of the troops when arrested
and had shaved off his beard to con-
ceal his identity from his captors. He
received a fair trial and was found
guilty of being the instigator of the
riots and paid the penalty of his crime.

Though the government suppressed
the Louisiana lottery, of which Gen.
Beauregard was president, it recently
had lottery of it's own in South Da-
kota lands Only ~ per cent of those
who filed drew FARMS while 50 per
cent got nothing after paying regis
tration fees and their fares to rail-
roads back and forth. 1t looks like e
gigantic swindle on the part of Uncle
Sam. Some $4,000. filed and 10000
drew farms OF 100 acres each, but some
of the land drawn toward the close
of the lottery is almost worthless.
Land lotteries should be abolished ny

Rev. D. S. Phelan, of the Western
Waterman, wrote an article on Mayor
elect Gaynor of New York, which was
widely circulated by Hearst and the
Fusionists during the campaign. Faith
err Phelan had no interest in the cleo
ton, but he considered it his duty tn
show up Gaynor as renegade Cath
Ollie. The good priest was violently
attacked by the supporters of Gay
nor, whom they elected by 1900 plu-
rality.

I'VE are not to be drawn into rev.

the Federation of Labor. 1.-THE labor
movement must always be right
These words have the right ring to
them. So long as the Federation has
men like Samuel Gompers and John
Mitchell at it's head, it will not go
wrong. Every right-minded citizen
wishes success to the cause of the
working man when advocated by such
level-headed leaders. No socialistic
nonsense about them.

When Tom Watson, the Georgia
demagogue, says there are 100000 So
cialists "thirsting for a collision with
the American army" he is simply talk
ing through his hat. Such utterances
from Watson are reprehensible in the
extreme. He should go to Barcelona,
take the place of Ferrer, and become
a martyr to liberty. Tom is too cow
ardly to come in conflict with the
American army and will keep at a
safe distance from it.

Raymond, of the Chicago Tribune,
says that Mayor elect Gaynor of New

and may be the next Democratic can
didate for the presidency. VIM. j.
Bryan is reported to be in favor ut
Gaynor as national standard bearer
in 1912. 1t is said that Gaynor WAS
slated for Bryan's running mate last
year, but his marriage to a divorced
woman put him in bad odor with the
Catholic element in the party.

THE LORDS AND THE BUDGET,

On FRIDAY morning, Nov. 5, after a
stormy debate in the House of Com
mons. in which Lloyd George and Pre-
mler Asquith spoke for the Liberals
and Arthur J. Balfour for the Conser-
vatives. the budget or finance bill had
its third reading and passed the house
by a majority Of 230, the vote being
379 to 149. AS the Nationalists had
not voted at the second readinR of the
bill, so neither did they on its passage
for the reason that they were dissatis-
fled with the high tax on Irish whis-
key, while English beer was not taxed
at all. Though the Irish members IA
Vor temperance in Ireland, still they
believed injustice was being done to
the only Irish industry which England
has been unable to destroy through
competition. Redmond and his follow
ers strongly favored the land taxes. but
they did not approve of the whiskey
tax which would take an extra ten
millions of dollars year into the inn
perial exchequer from an already over
taxed and impoverished country. Tim
othy M. Healy, however, wanted to
vote for the budget as it stood,
and used his persuasive powers to in
duce the whole Irish party to cast their
votes solidly for it. but he only
secured nine Of his colleagues to sup
port him, and so the Nationalist left
it to the British themselves and alb
stained from voting in body. Two
Liberals Joined them and the Tories
were greatly disappointed at the re-
suit.
After passing the budget, the House
of Commons adjourned for two weeks
to let the House of Lords wrestle with
it in the meantime, and the hereditary
rulers have hard nut to crack. The
debate on the bill in the upper cham
bers will begin on Nov. %, and the
probability is that the aristocrats will
submit 1t to the people as 1t passed
the Commons, instead of accepting, re-
jecting or amending it in its present
form. The Lords are afraid Of reject
ing or mutilating the budget and tc
gain time they will leave it to the PEG
pie to pass their judgment upon it. OF
course, the electorate will endorse the
bill and return the Liberals to office
