Limitations Of the Moneyed.

The case of Charles W. Morse
is an illustration of the egotism Of
money. The convicted wild finan
cier is una'terably convinced that,
as Il man Of wealth, he should he
exempt from the punishment pro
vided for The ordinary criminal.
He believes he is a martyr, the
victim of conspiracy, since all his
millions, all his attempts to gain
shelter behind technicalities. all
his declarations that he but follow
ed the common practice of hank,
ers, avail him nothing.
Wealth bad very much its own
way in this country for many
years. Men with money began to

There are many manifestations
in our social atmosphere these days
that the people are undergoing a
change of thought that must event.
ually lead to revolution in our
system of social and political econ
omy. These signs are most pro.
life in the literature of the times,
which teens with volumes that
take for their theme the unhealthy
social and political conditions of
the present; and what is said of
books, may also be said of maga-
zines. that reach the public by the
millions each month. That this
thought is taking hold on the pub.
lie mind is certain from the i'm.
mcnse sales of such books and
magazines. If the people were
not interested in the subject this
class of literature would find little
sale and would quickly be checked,
not only as an Improbable, but as
futile theme as we'll. This dis
cussion is taking wide range, but
1t centralizes in a common and
close center-the Improvement Of
the condition of the proletarian.
1t is movement of the mass of the
people for the betterment of the
mass. One of the peculiar lit
might be said, singular) features
of this manifestation is, that where
so much Is being said and written
on the favorable side of the ques-
ton, very little appears for the
negative side. This would lead
one to think that the matter was
not being taken seriously enough
to awaken opposition; but such is
not the case. Government and
municipal ownership of the public
utilities, is live political issue,
and the same may be said of the
security of the savings of the mass
es in banks, the Capitalization of
industries and the wealth they cre-
ate in private hands. There are
also the white slave question and
the liquor question. Public health
and morals are receiving their at
tention. Perhaps all this looks too
big to work ont into anything like
a practical scheme for social i'm
provement, but future generations
will be trained by the growing
thought of today along this line
and will be prepared to receive
them, 10, rs the result of a social
catacl lysm, but one at time; each
improvement paving tue way and
Fastening the next.

chance to say something, the
harmony fest would be turned in
to kilkenny fight. There was the
"Oid Guard' element laying for
the Folkites with their old time
eagerness to stick the knife in the
man who had inaugurated reform
in Democratic politics by sending
some of its eminent members to the
penitentiary for a term. The
Folkites who were there, were not
going to take anything off of the
other faction when the rucus got
started, and had that occurred, no
doubt we would have had another
exposure of the confidential af-
fairs" of the party. This was
something that the leaders had to
guard against; so before the con-
vcntion found out what was up, it
had gag thrust between its teeth,
and u committee was appointed to
concoct the harmony. When any
delegate tried to express bis per-
sonal convictions of the troubles
that infested the party he was CAV
eled into silence by the chairman.
The speakers were all picked for
the occasion in al vance, and there
would be no kicking over the
traces from them. When the COM
mittee brought in it's "harmony"
all cooked up, and paIatable or not,
the convention was made TO swal-
low j. without protest, because it
was given no chance TO do other
wise. Now all is harmony in the
Democratic ranks.
