A Case In Point.
As a case in point I here quote a
paragraph from the legal notes of the
New York Sun: The recent decision
of the Supreme court of Michigan hold

'tufrolfi!' which assumed to authorize
the city 'ot T iS troit to acquire and oper¬
ate street rail’R ac * 8 ' s merely an en¬

that this operates to’wevent the

it cannot itself do and what the consti¬
tution forbids its doing.”' It is a mts
lepresentation to declare that the court
is opposed to the municipal ownership
of street railroads, The court has
done nothing more than to show that
the constitution, which is the highest
law cf the state, forbids such owner¬
ship. If the people of Michigan want
to change their constitution in this re¬
spect there is nothing to prevent them.
Without discussing whether the Su¬
preme court of Michigan might not, if
it had been so disposed, have found
just as good argument for upholding
instead of pulling down the law in
question, the editor of the note .quoted
happily condenses the -matter .that
have discussed last ,week;'.«n$.in.
the sentence: “If. the peopll constitution of-'Mich)
gan want to change- their
there is nothing to prevent them.”
What the people want, ,so it is just,
they can obtain, provided they set
about it in the right way.
Anglo-Saxon Socialism. 'r
Under above heading I And the fol
lowing paragraphs in the Cleveland
(O.) Leader, which also bear direct¬
ly on the principles of law, to meet
new needs: “It is about time to re¬
vise the beliefs commonly held by the
American people regarding the
tendency of various nationalities to¬
ward socialism. In recent elections in
this country the avowed socialists
have shown more strength in New
England cities like Haverhill, New
Britain, New Haven, Bridgeport and
Lynn than they have manifested any¬
where in the west, where the foreign
elements of the population are many
and powerful. The native Americans
have been more inclined to vote that
way than the Germans of Wisconsin
or the Scandinavians of Minnesota.
This is in harmony with the extreme¬
ly radical self-governing British col¬
onies of Australasia, where the popu¬
lation is almost wholly of British ori¬
gin. The state ownership of railroads,
telegraphs and telephones is practical¬
ly universal. Some of the colonies in¬
sure their citizens against death, oth¬
ers pension them in old age. Many
loan money to settlers at low rates of
interest. All, in various ways, go far
beyond anything ever known in the
United States in the direction of pa¬
ternalism and state control of affairs
left to individuals in this country.
These Anglo-Saxon communities are
outdoing any of the continental pow-'
ers of Europe in their socialistic ex¬
periments. In the light of such facts
it is only fair to cease looking upon
socialism as an outgrowth of the
feebleness or wrong-hcadedness of the
Germans, the French, the Italians or
any other non-English-speaking na¬
tionalities. It is in the tendencies of
the age rather than in the blood, or
beliefs of any one part of the human
family.”
An American Triumph.
American locomotive designers and
builders have every reason to feel
proud of the Vonderful triumph they
have won.' American locomotives lead
the world. Here is a short dispatch
from Philadelphia that tells the tale:
“The Baldwin locomotive works have
just received an order for thirteen
consolidation engines for the - state
railways of Finland. These locomo¬
tives are to be ready- for delivery by
Jan. 1, 1900. The steamship Puritan is
taking forty engines for the Chinese
and Eastern railway, and thirty-one
more are to be built and ready for
shipment by the beginning of next
year. Ten locomotives for the French
States railway, the first American en¬
gines ever imported to France, are be¬
ing loaded on the steamship Panama,
which will sail for Bordeaux In a few
days. The second lot of ten engines
for the Midland railway. England, will
leave New York in a few days on the
steamship Crelg Earn.
Note«i.
The Wabash railroad has raised the
wages of all employes on its eastern
division, which includes all lines in In¬
diana, Michigan and Ohio.
Baltimore, Md., labor unions are ag-.
Rating the formation of a labor lyce
um—a lyceum distinctly industrial in
its character, broad in its scope, ele¬
vating in principle and having for its
foundation the uplifting of labor and
the general bettermenfof humanity in
general.
The annual convention of the Na¬
tional Letter Carriers’ association will
be held in Scranton, Pa., commencing
Monday, Sept. 4 (Labor day). The op¬
ening will be preceded by a parade ol
about five thousand men, to be re¬
viewed by President McKinley and
Postmaster General Smith.
The Amalgamated Society of- Rail
way Servants, England, has just issu¬
ed Its annual report. It embraces all
grades of workers on train or track,
and has over 54,000 members and near¬
ly a billion dollars in reserve. The
membership and funds have doubled it
the last nine years.
The Elastic Goring Weavers' Amalga¬
mated association has the smallest
membership of any affiliated with th<
American Federation of Labor, its
membership being less than 350. it is
nevertheless one of the strongest finan¬
cially owing to the members paying
higher dues than are paid in any othei
union.
VOLUNTEERS THINK.
AND THE ADMINISTRATION IS
“SHAKING" THEM.
Tho Unholy War for Enslaving a Teoplo,
That of Bight Ought to Ho Free, Can
Not He -Trusted to Intelligent Soldiers
— Hired Men in Demand.
When the great American nation
said that Spanish oppression should
stop in Cuba and declared war to eii
£orce its demands the hands of the
pr'egident were upheld by a united
-people. Volunteers pressed forward
by thousands from every state. Most
of those volunteers were from the host
blood of the nation. The North aud
tlie South vied with each other In
sending their best and bravest, sons to
tilts holy war for humanity. After
the war for freedom was over the pres¬
ident inaugurated a new war for the
purpose of enslaving a free people.
He did not call on the states for vol¬
unteers in the war of conquest. He
didn't like the volunteers very much.
They could think as'well as fight. He
asked for an increase of the regular
army and he is now filling up its
ranks. A New York paper tells the
kind of men he is getting. Just lis¬
ten: ‘During the recruiting last
week at New York one of the news
paper reporters went through the
crowd at the Third avenue office. The
men who came,’ he says, ‘impressed
the outsider as a needy lot who had
tried everything to earn a living be¬
fore they came to the shelter of the
army. They ranged in age from the
minimum to the mlxinnim allowed by
the army regulations and walked about
as if they had at last found a refuge
from the uncertainty of New York
work.’ Those who were accepted gave
evidence of feeling great relief. There
was no more need of care and anxiety
for the morrow. The government
would feed and clothe them and take
care of them when sick, and the work
provided would offer at least a diver¬
sion from the ordinary and promised
some little adventure. Yes, as one
man put it, the army was a refuge for
the poor devil who had fared badly
in the civil battle of life.”
And here is what the Chicago
Tribune, a life-long Republican paper,
says of the enlistments: “The men
who are crowding the Chicago recruit¬
ing office number but few real patriots
among their ranks. In general, these
men, army officers say, are not enlist¬
ing because their country needs them,
nor because the flag is being flred upon
nor because the army #alls them. The
extra effort to recruit men has merely
increased the production of the or¬
dinary output of peace times and
drawn in the lovers of adventure who
are out of employment, with an oc¬
casional drop of aggressive patriotism
intermingled... .The majority of them
are out of work and realize that it will
not be long before winter sets in.”
These men are only facing pestilence
to escape starvation. • Compare them
with Funsten’s gallant fighters or
Stotsenburg’s heroic men. But then by
careful training they may make pretty
good killing machines, and as most of
them have no friends to inquire into
their treatment or mourn their death.
they will not give the administration
nearly as much trouble as did the intel
Ugent volunteers now seeking their
homes. They have no great states be¬
hind them with millions of earnest and
loving men and women to demand for
them justice and fair treatment. Yes,
Mr. President, you may not get as good
soldiers, but you will reduce criticism
to a minimum. Besides that, you are
also redeeming your promise to fur¬
nish employment to idle men; employ¬
ment in killing and being killed, and
if the war lasts long enough you may
be able to furnish work for every man
’.hat wants it.
A Job Lot of Jewels.
Secretary Alger has made mistakes,
but when the books are posted and
the record made up his management
or the war department will not stand
lowest in the list of those things that
liawe given the administration prestige
the republican party strength for
future contestn.—Chicago Inter- Ocean.
The Chicago brother is eminently
correct. Alger will not be at the bot¬
tom when the republican .party begins
to. reckon up Its Jewels. Here are some
of its jewels: Repudiation of pledges
made at St. Louis in reference to bi¬
metallism and civil service reform;
criminal aggression in the Philippines,
benevolent assimilation with the bay¬
onet and the sword; a wicked tariff
passed for the benefit of trusts, em¬
balmed beef, horse doctors for sur¬
geons, cattle pens for transports^ push¬
ing volunteers to the front after their
terms of service had expired, favoring
the regular army by keeping it ’idle
at Manila, refusal to make Cuba free
after congress had solemnly guaran¬
teed its Independence, the voluntary
purchase of a foreign war at an ex¬
travagant price, denial of the Declara¬
tion of Independence, retiring General
Eagan on full pay after he had been
convicted by court martial, holding
up the order of court which putlished
Captain Carter for robbing the gov
eminent of a million and a half and
keeping him In the army on full pay,
buying transports at four prices to.
enrich the president's brother, and
othei^ favored contractors, and sinking
one of them to keep the fraud from
being exposed, camps established to
enrich railroads and encourage yellow
fever, censorship of mails and tele¬
graph, to the end that the people
6hould be deceived; an attempt to de¬
stroy our greatest military leader by
indirect charges and cowardly inuen
do, blackening the reputation of a
gallant naval hero to benefit a favor¬
ite who never captured a ship or fired
a shot, conducting for two and a half
years a general jail delivery for the
benefit of convicted bankers. These
are only a few of “the things that have
given the administration prestige and
the Republican party strength for fu¬
ture contests,” and who will dare to
say that the late secretary has not
stood very close to his chief in weav¬
ing this beautiful web of immortal
glory?
Official Duty vs. the Political Canvass.
It is really too bad to send Adjutant
General Barry to San Francisco to fix
up Governor Poynter's fences with
the returning volunteers just at a time
when Barry’s boom for the congres¬
sional nomination in the Sixth district
was enjoying a good growth.—Omaha
See.
The above article is characteristic
of modern republicanism. The editor
of the Bee cannot understand how
public duty can rise above personal
interest or how any man can abandon
his own canvass for office in order to
serve his country. General Barry does
not go to San Francisco on a political
mission. He goes as a representative
of the state to officially attend to the
reception and discharge of one of the
most -gallant regiments that ever bore
the American flag to a glorious vic¬
tory. It is his duty to be there in¬
stead of grabbing for delegates in the
Sixth congressional district. We do
not know who is to be Congressman
Greene’s successor, nor do we care,
so that he is a good man. It is none
of our funeral, but if Patrick Barry
is a candidate he will not lose votes
because he is attending to the wants of
our brave citizen soldiery. Why
didin’t you say something about Gov¬
ernor Poynter who is also going to
meet the returning heroes? You and
your kind have for months tried to
blacken his reputation with tlie Ne¬
braska soldiers, because he would not
sign his name to a base lie passed by
a Republican legislature. He does not
indorse lying resc'utions, but when he
thinks he can help the soldiers of Ne¬
braska he hastens to their relief and
he takes with him a thousand dollars
of the people’s money and will spend
it for their benefit. Governor Poynter
and General Barry will meet our re¬
turning soldiers at the Golden Gate
and will give them a warm and cor¬
dial welcome home. In the meantime
the political canvass will have to wait
until all calls of patriotism are at¬
tended to.—Nonconformist.
No Time for Evasion.
It is stated that the republicans of
the United States senate committee on
the currency cannot agree upon the
proposition that congress shall make
a formal declaration of the gold stand¬
ard. It is understood that a majority
of them are in favor of such a declara¬
tion, but one or two dissent. There Is,
therefore, reason to apprehend that In
respect to this very important matter
there will be division among • repub¬
licans in congress which may result in
no action being had. This would be
distinctly disappointing to the sound
money sentiment of the country and
we think would, prove embarrassing to
the republican party, since it would
be used by the opponents of the gold
standard as evidence that the party is
not honestly and sincerely in favor of
that standard.—Omaha Bee.
If your party is “honestly and sin¬
cerely in favor of the gold standard,”
why did it lie to the people so shame¬
fully at St. Louis? Your party has
never yet declared in favor of that
standard. On the contrary you asked
the nations of the world to help you
let go of as much of that standard as
you already had. If you are honestly
in favor of the single standard you
obtained a million votes in 1896 under
false pretenses. You elected your pres¬
ident by promising the people bimetal
ism. No national convention has ever
withdrawn that sacred declaration.
The great republican party is as much
pledged to bimetalism as is any of the
other parties, the-only difference being
that you will take It when England
gives permission,.whili we propose to
have it without the aid or consent of
any other nation on earth.
Prefer the Latter.
At present there seems to be no way
of protecting the public and restoring
to the people their government, ex¬
cept by having the government own
the railroads. As between having the
corporations own the government or
having the government own the cor
poration, the American people wili
prefer the latter.—National Watch¬
man.
Pennsylvania’s silk Industry amounts
12.000,000 annually, an increase of
per cent since 1895.
RAPIDS-SHOOTING.
There are Indians aud Indians. It
is no uucommon thing to hear the re¬
mark: “You may educate the Indian
you may bring him up in your own
home, but you can never make him
anything but a lazy brute.” There
is ’one class of Indians in the oountry
at least who can earn an honest and
hard-won livelihood.
Many people who know that the
level of Lake Superior is twenty-five
feet higher than that of the St. Mary’s
river do not stop to think what that
means to the lumber and iron ore
shipping which must pass from Su¬
perior to the lower lakes. The result
is, of course, a mile or more of rush¬
ing, roaring rapids, ■ through which
no ship could pass with safety.
To do away with this difficulty the
wonderful canal and locks at Sault
Ste. Marie have beqn built by the
government. There the great freight¬
ers and passenger sliips ride into the
lock where the water is of the same
level as in the St. Mary’s river below,
ure tied up with gates closed behind
them, aud then the man at the ma¬
chinery on the locks touches a lever
and the water begins to boil up in a
seething mass through valves in the
bottom. There is no end to the roar
until the water in the lock has reached
the level of Superior. Then the ship
rides easily out through the open
gates at the other eud of the lock.
But the locks are the work of recent
times. Before, long before, they ex¬
isted, the Indians used to search a
channel through the dangerous rapids
for their frail bark canoes.
The summer tourist to-day scarcely
reaches the “Soo” and stands on the
lock to see the first ship pass through
before lie is assailed by a swarthy,
much-burned individual in poorly
matched garments, who says: ‘‘Want
to shoot the rapids, sir ?" The pros¬
pects of such a venture seem a little
precarious to a strangor, but when the
old gray-haired'Indian comes up and
assures him that he has been doing
that these fifty years aud can ‘‘do it
good" now he yields. ' He follows the
two Indians.to the shore, where they
draw out a deep, roomy canoe, not of
the ancient birchbark, and place him
so low in it that barely his head and
shoulders are above the edge.
Now comes the excitement ! Draw¬
ing two twelve-foot hickory poles, the
Indians steer the canoe between the
rocks upstream by means of mighty
shoves. There seems often no way
of escaping a huge rock but looms up
directly ahead, but just in time the
hickory poles bend with a strong push
and the boat is out in the foam again.
Foam ! Foam ! Mountains of foam
on every side ! Not waves, hut just
seething, boiling waters. And the
rooks fairly whiz by as the light craft
whirls down the channel. Apparent¬
ly nothing can be seen ol the rocks
from a distance, yet the Indians know
where they are by some means, and,
taking up their paddles, by a skillful
stroke turn the boat aside. The old
Indian stands in the stern and talks
constantly in mixed Chippewa aud
Canadian-French to his son in the
bow, who, stripped to the waist,
makes his great muscles obey the
slightest order from his father.
Would you not think a dollar more
than earned by all that effort '! Y'et
the stoical Indians work away for
this small Lire all summer, live in a
shanty on the wharf and save enough
to live on during the winter.
A Very Sanitary IIon».-,
Japan has long rejoiced In earth¬
quake proof houses, and now we hear
of an abode in Yokohama which pos¬
sesses the unique distinction of being
microbe proof. A writer in Cham¬
bers's Journal says It is supposed to
have been erected by an eminent Ger¬
man bacteriologist, who hopes by its
aid to avoid all the ills to which hu¬
man flesh is heir so fur as they are
(lue to zymotic causes. The house
is built of glass bricks, so that there
Is no need for windoivs, and the doors
when closed ate perfectly air tight.
Ventilation is brought about by air
being forced into the building through
cotton wool filters, and in case this
treatment does not rob It of ail its
bacteria, the air is further driven
against glycerine-coated plutes of
glass.
Of course when the door of this
strange domicile is opened to admit
visitors armies of nlr-bome microbes
must come in too; but the sunlight
which plays around the rooms will
soon kill off these.
