There was, of course, great enthusiasm on the part of the relieved and grateful citizens who made a demonstration by gathering in a public square in front of the Methodist College to receive ana welcome the Confederates. A speech was called for from the General, who rode grantly in the midst of his men. He said, My friends. I am no speaker I was down about Gainsville.

lASoR'S REAL GRIEVANCE.
Ceneerned Nest About How the Mao
mates Got Their Rie Money.

We have long entertained the idea
that Industrial reformerS are wasting
too much valuable time and energy
upon the misuse of wealth by the
beaefciaries of special privileges,
What earthly difference does it
make to the man despoiled of his
property what disposition is made OF
ii by the thief if it is forever lost TO
him. its rightful ownere
That people are plundered is of far
greater Importance than how the
plunder is disposed of when there can
be no possible hope of ever recover,
ing it,
One kind of a plunderer may give
his booty to churches, another to Ii,
braries, and a third may waste it in
riotous living. but whatever DISPOSE
tion is made of it, the rightful owners,
the people, are made to stand for the
deprivation of their property
The main point is that all three get
the property or money without earn
ing or deserving it and at the cost
and suffering of others
The true methods of reform is to
put a stop to all vested rights and
special privileges in the nation, and
let every man have equal opportunity
before the law
Labor's grievance is not against the
misuse of property. although it has a
right to be heard even upon that
phase of the question. but its main
property.-Duluth Labor World.
