The New York Suns says that "the Democratic party of the fu ture will he a distinctively radi- ( cal party." Yes, thank heaven ! , ?just about as radical as the teachings of Thomas Jefferson. The Chicago Tunes-Herald says < you can't "coin" paper money. But whether you can or not, the i Times-Herald says a good many things it didn't n * to say when 1 it was owned by dUl'erent stock- < holders.

I"nion c unity, .\<nv .lersvv, pn poses t?> test the practicability < public ownership of railway Th matter has been submitted to vote of' the people arid so far fav< rhe measure. From Fli/.abeth to Plaintiehl i a distance of 12 miles. Six town intervene, making the region so pear like one continuous cit\ Through these towns runs Wesl liebl avenue, a highway fee wide, which lias the name <-f be nig the linest road in the I'nite States. Not less than 7e,00O pei sons live in close proximity t this road. The proposition is to oqui Westfield avenue with a trolle line and then lease the road to company that will pay an unnun rental equal to the interest on th cost of the road, and that wi guarantee to carry passengers fo the fare of f? cents. The movement is two-fold i intent. It i< directed primari! against the .lersev Central an other steam railroads, wh: h hav civcn to the people an indiffereu train service at exorbitant rate of fare, and incidental' v, th taxpayers wish to demonstrat that over-capitali/.ation is th greatest corporate evil in thi country, A franchise to construct street railroad from Klizabeth t Plainfield over the proposed rout would be worth $1,000,000 to an company that should get it on th terms commonly exacted. The State's Attorney. Mr. Iiei tien. fav.?rc the measure, and savs "We have ?i*J miles of stret railroads in this state, and thei aggregate capital is over $ hi. No douht they could h reconstructed to-day and equij ped for etJicient service at a coy L?f $10,000,000.

I In* < ry of flu' Oppressed. 1 rj a lawmjit in Louisville las irday the fact wan devolope that women in Louisvill l? | are receiving only twenty-live or ? | thirty cents ,/ <foze/t for making :e . pants. A secular paper reports *1 1 the fact in these words: In the Police Court, Saturday, ie a Louisville tailor was lined $15 1-1 for striking a poor seamstress. I le I )f had quarreled with her over a ,t> -difference of thirty-two cents in ! her bid. The testimony developed ie fliat she claimed thirty cents a : </oz< a for making cheap trousers, while the tailor said the regular rate was only tu'cuty r'rr cents. Two cents and a half was the i maximum claimed bv this woman >f for all the labor of making a pair (. of pants. Is not such limitation of a woman's labor a sin against ir Cod? Hear the word of Cod in I )eutorono.ny l?-4 :1 I. "Thou shalt is not oppiess an hired servant that is poor and needy, whether he be >. of thy brethren or of thy strangers. . . . lest he cry against iheej t unto the Lord, and it lie sin unto thee." And hear again the lan ?. jguago of the Holy Spirit in the ,1 ' fiftli chanter of the Kpistle of [ . .lames. "(Jo to now,ye rich men, o weep and howl for your miseries tliat shall come upon you. Your p richesare corrupted. . . . He v hold the hire of the laborers who a hare reaped down your fields, t| I which is of you kept hack by e fraud, crieth; and the cries of || them which have reaped are en tered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth." ? The pertinent question is, v whether the crowding down of ,j the wages of the poor and help-j e le?s to such a standard as that of this incident, does not fall under this condemnation. t. When we were poor, (tod's only e Son considered our poverty, and p helped us. As He has done by us. ;u! He expects us to do by IIis /war, who are around us. And to those) a | who refuse, he says : "Your gold ()' and your silver is cankered." v For The Enterprise. e Dots From Tuhcrmirlr.
