Tho London Mail tolls ns somo plain
truths that it would bo woll for Un to
ponder. It says:
Tho slavo drivers of today in America
aro tho millionaires and tho mon who
oporato tho trusts, Thoy aro tho fat
toning ogros whom tho pooplo will bayo
to destroy or bo dostroyea by. Thoy
aro tho Simon Logr?os of tho hour.
Thoy oporato within tho law, for thoy
make tho law. *
Tho Amorioan pooplo havo nomo pet
phrases with whioh they hko to do
soribo England.' Thoy Bay it is feu
dal, kingriddon, a holploBS tool of tho
aristooraoy, and that sort of thiog.
Thoy do not soo tho boam in thoir own
ovo. Tho United States ia millionairo
ridden.
Tho millionaires start and oporato
universities, discharging profossors
who toaoh coonomio doctrinos of whioh
thoy disapprove. Tho millionaires
oporato tho logislaturos, and in somo
eases tho courts. Thoy run oonaross,
and thoy aro quarterod in tho Whit o
Houso at Washington, whoro tho Pron i
dont, whom they oleotod, docs thoir
bidding.
Every year a groator poroontago of
tho wealth of America goos into tho
pookots of tho millionaires. It is a
fact that tho sooond million is moro
oaBily made than tho.firs?, third than
tho sooond, and so on. By tho foroo
of attraotion, a dollar naturally gravi
tates toward tho largest pile. -
The Rookofollora, who. control tho
Standard Oil Company, aro absorbing
tho woalth of Amorioa at an enormous
rato. With tho woalth como politioa'
powor and sooial powor. Sooial pres
tige is obtainod with a startling rapidi
ty. Thirty years ago tho Vandorbilts
had no sooial position in Now York,
and thoir ohanoos of ovor getting any
woro looked upon as poor. In a few
short years they havo bought a social
prestige-sont round tho ooroor fo.? it
as ono Bonds to tho grooor's.
This ia .stated not from any opposi
tion to tho Vanderbilts, but to mako
tho point that what tho/ oan buy any
ono else oan buy. If monoy oin bc
oxohangod for anything on oarth, it
io natural that it should bo moro in de
mand than anything on earth. If it
will purohaao a divrogard by tho pooplo
of how it was obtained, what matters
how it was obtainod?
By consolidations tho American
trusts aro gradually doing away with

this, of oourso, must bo a raising in
prioo of tho commodities and a lover
ing of the, wagoe. What has prevdntcd
both those things being dono in oxoo?u
has boon tho foroo of public opinion.'
Sugar, coal, moat and' other nooossitios
whioh havo boon cornorod by tho'-trusts,
have risen in price through artificial,
rentiono to an oxtont that has pdt extra
millions into tho pookotp of those who
vu'n^rol them- andrwho-havof^'-iwioh
properly already that they suffer from
a sort of fioanoial indigestion.

Tho last sontonoe may appear tobo
au exaggeration, but competing rofio
ories have boon burnod down in tho in

even suoh philanthropists nn the part

If tho industrial millionaires oan
mako and defy tho laws, buy and br ibo
Jurios and judges and aongossmon, what
is to restrain thom, unless thero ls Borne,]
uprising and some enormous ohange?
Tho nearest available rome dy for somo
of tho abuses will be the govornmont
ownership of what tho Amorioans oall
-'publie utilitios."
Tiloso include the mediums of trans
?tort?tion, tho railways and tho tram
ines, eystems of lighting and tho tele
graphs and telphoncs now in the hands
of private companies.
Tho Standard Oil Company built np
its monopoly'by controlling tho rail
road linea.. Thoso quotod prohibitivo
freight rates, to owners rf oil wolls
and competing rcfinines and thoy
wero driven out of business, and tho
Standard Oil Company got thoir wells
and plants at their own figures. The
Stool trust is now able to pursuo tho
samo taotios with rivals through its
ntorest in tho railroads' and in stoam
ships. Tho opposition to tho looal
government ownership of 'public utili
ties" is very great, almost insuparable
at tho present timo. Thoso who iavor
it are oalled "anarchists."
A man who thinks that tho communi
ty should got tho profit from its "utili
tics" is denounoed as one who waves
the rod flag of riot. Tho sam) epithet
of anarohist is appliod to thoso who bo
liovo in the income tax and death du
ties. Tho United Statos will not al
low an inoome tax becauso it is ('rav
olutionary," and tho highest oourt of
tho land denounoed it and declared it !
unconstitutional, when it was pat sod.
But although you cannot havo so riot
ous a'measure as an inoome tax, you
may burn a negro alivo if you Uko. In
'.his you soo signs of the menov powor.
Tho courts re j mt an income tax at tho |
behest of tho rich. Nobody owns the
negro who is burnod alive, BO it dosen't
matter. In tho' old days of . slavery,
whon rv nogro was worth $1,000 to his
master, they did not burn him alivo.
Tho agitation for tho transfor of
"publie utilitios" to tho pooplo is not
basod on a dosire to get tho dividends
so muoh aa it ls to doprivo tho million
aires of tho power whioh tho posses
sion of thoso "utilitios" givo to them.
The mon who own tho railroads in a
State own thelogislature and tho jadgoo
and the oxeoutive forces. Thoy do this
through the magie pasteboard that
means freo transportation, through the
?iowor that tho ability to mako lower
reight ratos to shippers and manufao
I tures gives to thom, by tho voting force
of thoir own employes, and' by a hun*
I drod other methods, including a hank
account on whioh they oan draw oheoki.

Floming of Goorgia, who pre
sented a resolution for tho in

to hold their seats. Mr. Moody's
resolution assorts that a certain
class of voters were, disfran
chised in Louisiana, thus invali
dating tho election of Louisiana

resolution, in part, recition1
"Whereas the constitution of
the state of Massachusetts, in
contravention of the provision
of tho Federal constitution, im
poses additional qulifloationsfor
suffrage by declaring ?that 'no

"Resolved, That when the

quiring and reporting, by bills
or otherwise, whother the rep

of Massachusetts aro entitled to

i Mr. " Morning is right. His

will effectually put a stop to tho

THE following statistics as to
illiteracy ' among immigrants to
this country have b?en compiled :
"Passing on to tho race - items,
it . appears that \ Scandinavian
immigrants are the best edu
cated, less than one in 100 of
them being illiterate. English
and Scotch immigrants come
next, with a little, over ono in 100
of them unable to read and
write. Of Irish immigrants 3.2
per cent, only were illiterate; of
French, 3.9 por cont*.; of Ger
man, 4.1 per cent. ; of Dutch and'
Flemish, 7.8 per cent. Tho Ital
ian immigrants show the "high
est proportion of illiterates, hut
there is a marked difference be-'
tween those from Northern and
those from Southern Italy, for
while.15 in every 1?0 is tho illi
terate ratio among the former,
it is 59 in every 100 am on g th?
latter."
A businesslike wedding was
celebrated ' at Fort Scott, ?Kan.,
tho other day. The parties wore
aged respectively . 71 and 64.
Both aro possessed of valuable,
property, and ' tho bride is tho
towner of several farms. - Before
the ceremony an agreomont wag
Sigurd to the effeot that each
should have control of tho pro
perty belonging to each. How
ever, the good woman got a lit
tle tho better of the dickering.
By tho terms of the agreement
she is to haye a lifo dmtpr.est in
his estate after death, but ho is
not given the samo right;< with
respect to hers. After "every
thing h?d..boen completed com-4
fortably, arid the .two stood ut)
and wore married and then'tho'
husband attempted to salute his
bride. "Go 'way, John," she
said; "I an't a-going to let you

THE secretary of the Kansas
State Temperance so?iety makes
large claims as to the growth of
'sentiment in favor of a strict en
forcement > of tl\e prohibitory
law. In 48 per cont, of ?the 192
towns of tho Btate, with a popu
lation of 600 or over, the law is
strictly enforced, ho declares; in
13 per cent, there is open and
notorious defiance o? tho law. In
48 towns thoro is either open
violation of tho law or a more
or loss general evasion of it; in
144 tho laws is either strictly or
very largely enforced. Half tho
192 towns strictly regard the law
it is said, and the situation af
fords satisfaction to tho organi
zation for which'the report is
made. . ..
