There’ll Come a Day.
There’ll come a day when the supremest
splendor
Of earth, or sky, or sea*
Whate’er their miracles, sublime or ten¬
der,
Will wake no joy in mo.
There’ll come a day when all the as¬
piration,
Now with such fervor fraught
As lifts to heights of breathless exalta¬
tion.
Will seem a thing of naught.
There'll come a day when riches, hon¬
or, glory,
Music and song and art.
Will look like puppets in a worn-out
story.
Where each has played his part.
There’ll come a day when human love,
the sweetest
Gift that includes the whole
Of God’s grand giving—sovereignest, com
pietest—
Shall fail to fill my soul.
There’ll come a day—1 shall not care
how passes
The cloud across my sight,
If only, lark-like, from earth’s nested
grasses,
I spring to meet its light.
—Margaret Juuitin Preston.
Salvation Army Farm.
The Darkest England scheme for
raising the “submerged tenth” is di
vided into three branches-city shelf
ers, a farm colony in England and an
oversea colony. Hadleigh farm col
ony, about 38 miles from London, is
beautlfuHy situated on an estuary of
the Thames some five miles from
Southend, and comprises 3.050 acres of
all sorts of land, which about 11
years ago was quite a wilderness. But
under the sklllfu! management and
the labor of men who heretofore were
a loss and a danger to the community
a great change has been made in the
vast area of derelict Essex farms, so
great Indeed that last year the gross
turn-over was $125,000. Brick kilns
show that the army is engaged in
other pursuits as well as farming. At
the base of the hill, which starts al¬
most at the railway embankment, are
three brick fields, whose total output
for last year was 3,000,009 bricks, yield
lng to the credit of the colony $23,500.
At present this wide-reaching estate
is worked by 3C0 men, clad in motley
garments, but nearly ail wearing good,
strong, serviceable boots. The hous

they prove themselves ready and will

another building, occupying a room
where there are ten beds, and then
to a room with only three, and lastly,
some few get small rooms to them
selves. A newcomer is given any work
to do, and allowed one shilling a
for the first fortnight or so, even
he does not earn it. This payment
made in colony coins—brass discs,
marked 4d., 2d., Id., and ’^d., of

they would go to work for ?3 a day and

They also called upon the owners of

Kansas City I.ubor Temple
Organized labor in Kansas City, Mo.
proposes to build a labor temple, to
cost $85,000. The site, corner of Tenth
street and Baltimore avenue, is to cost
$50,000. The unions have issued an
appeal, saying they will pay for the
temple if the public will pay for the
lot. Just why the public should donate
a town lot to organized labor is not
clear. Organized labor is the best-paid
labor in the world. A labor organlza
tion is not a philanturopic institution,
like a hospital or an asylum. It is a
business proposition, first, and foremost,
aiming to get the greatest compensa
tion for the least exertion, I suppose
it is all right to get a lot that way
if one can, just as it would be all right
for me to induce someone to give me
a lot, if I could. Can organized labor
really afford to proclaim that It cannot
build itself a home unless the charit¬
able assist?

The lact is, the principles and griev¬
ances set forth in the declaration of
independence have become mere bun¬
combe, and the constitution of the
United States an effete instrument.
If the men who founded this nation
were In error regarding the principles
they .. tempted ,, . . A to establish . ... . the
as
^rnerstone of a great nation, or if
those principles are susceptible of be
, ‘ n £ collst ™ed , into . something , . entirely . ,
different, it becomes a question ot
grave importance to determine what
kind of a government should be sub
stituted, and who, or what political
party shall be vested with the power
and duty of remodeling it. It goes
deeper than party platforms, which,
after all, are mere sentiments to at
tract voters who have no minds of
tlieir own, and must be goaded into
political frenzy In the same manner as
sinners find their way to the anxious
seat during a religious revival.
Nobody ever heard or knew of a po¬
litical platform benefiting the people
of the nation. If it ever has been of
any benefit, how did it happen that the
country waited until the campaign of
189(1 to discover that the nation was on
the verge of destruction, and that Will¬
iam McKinley and the gold standard
alone could save It?
If this nation should repudiate the
principle of popular sovereignty, over
throw the constitution, declare the
grievances specified in tiie declaration
of independence as clap-trap, how
would it affect the people? By whom
could such a radical reversal of a com¬
plete system of government be effect
sd? How could it be accomplished?
To admit the necessity of a change is
to question the wisdom of our revolu¬
tionary fathers; to admit the possi¬
bility of a change is to suggest one of
the strangest revolutions that ever
occurred on earth. It would he the re¬
bellion of a government against its
awn people, a curious spectacle that
history does not anywhere record.
There have been monarehs who be¬
came tired of reigning and withdrew
to convents, like Charles V.; and some
have deliberately run away from their
subjects—one, indeed, having plunged
iuto the fires of an active volcano
rather than remain with his people
and see to the execution of the laws;
but for a whole government to de¬
signedly cut loose from the people, who
alone can give it existence, is some¬
thing so extraordinary as to be in¬
conceivable, yet it is possible.
The civil war settled the question of
secession. No one state, or several
states, can separate from the irrevoca¬
ble contract expressed in the constitu¬
tion; that much of the effete constitu¬
tion is regarded as in full force and
vigor. But it has never been decided,
except in the obiter dicta of courts,
which are nothing hut personal opin¬
ions, that all of the sovereign states
may not cut loose from, or abolish,
the federal government. If they should
act simultaneously in that direction,
there Is nothing to prevent the ac¬
complishment of it. Of course, it nev¬
er will he done, but that is not the
question—it can be done—and if the
whole number of states may sever
their relations with the federal gov¬
ernment, a portion of their number
may also do so if they are strong
enough. It is not a question of legali¬
ty, but of strength. Legality is never
considered in governmental affairs.* it
is always expediency, interest and
main strength. It is always might
that makes right, and constitutions
and laws always go down before
power. The southern states were not
strong enough to maintain the princi¬
ple of secession, therefore they were
wrong. But if the north had conclud¬
ed to secede, there is no doubt it would
have succeeded, and in that case it
would have been right.
Following upon this idea is another
one of greater moment, because it is
present, and it is a question now before
the people to determine. What is
there in the constitution of the United
States to prevent the federal govern¬
ment from seceding from the sover¬
eign states and setting up an independ¬
ent sovereignty? We need expansion,
and as sovereign states can not ex¬
pand, the federal government must do
so—indeed, it is the only part of our
system of government that caa ex¬
pand. With English statesmen and
brilliant editorial writers and college
professors advising the administra¬
tion, and prescribing the line of duty
for our own politicians to follow, in
the way of jumping into the worI9’a
arena and slaughtering or Christianiz¬
ing feeble nations for the benefit of
and commerce in the hands of
syndicates and combines, it is
for the average American
to interpose a protest. We are
to get rid of “domestic tran¬
eliminate the “blessings of
to ourselves and our posterity,”
such an effete doctrine is a
in the side of an Anglo-Ameri¬
alliance, and expansion is the only
*to reduce the inflammation
by the thorn's Irritation.
it is made the duty of tiie United
e pluribus unum—to
to every state in the union a re¬
form of government, and the
being the chief executive au¬
thority and power in the United Stales,
it vests in his hands to carry out that
of the constitution. More¬
over, he is the commander-in-chief of
the army and navy, and every officer
and man in the service would most un¬
doubtedly obey his orders without
questioning their legality; they would
shoot first and try the constitutional
question afterwards. Bearing this in
mind, it must be clear that the federal
government may cut loose, at any
time, from the sovereign states and
set up an independent sovereignty of
its own, without in the least departing
from its duty to preserve the peace
between the several states and enforce
a republican form of government. We
are almost at that point now—Indeed,
it does not require a naked eye to per¬
ceive the same symptoms prominent
in the case of King Charles IH. refus¬
ing the crown with one hand and
grasping it with the other.
Suppose the president of the United
States should determine that the poli¬
cy of his administration could not he
changed without detriment to the
commercial and financial interests of
the nation, it would certainly be his
right and duty, and he could point to
the constitution as his authority, to
employ the army and navy to prevent
the inauguration of a president elected
upon a platform inimical to such a
policy. We know what that policy is;
it is gold standard, expansion of the
federal lines beyond that of a mere
arbiter between the sovereign states,
and an inordinate increase of the army
and nuvy in times of peace. If Air.
Bryan should be elected upon a silver
platform, lie might be prevented from
taking his seat because the remone¬
tization of silver is inimical to the in¬
speculators terests of the Rqpple—that is, to that the
in gold. Assuming
Mr. Gorman or Richard Croker should
be elected upon a gold platform, but
opposed to expansion and an increase
of the army and navy in times ot
peace, it is clear that, as the adminis¬
tration thinks expansion and militar¬
ism essential to the well being of the
nation, Mr. Gorman, or Mr. Croker
would he escorted out of Washington
at the point, of the bayonet if he at
temped to enter that capital for the
purpose of being inaugurated. The
president would have Mr. Henri Wat
terson, Mr. David B. Hill, Mr. William
C. Whitney, Gov. Theodore Roosevelt
and the unanimous Hamilton clubs as
well as the Chicago Jeffersonian clubs,
to back him up in saying to the annoy¬
ing aud troublesome people from the
backwoods; from Kansas, from Bo
dunk and other disreputable anarchist
sections: “Gentlemen, the time has
arrived to stop this foolishness about
popular sovereignty. We will set up
a sovereignty of our own aud refuse
to be further distracted in our efforts
to make this a great and glorious na¬
tion. Wo will raise the flag wherever
our benevolent trusts can get in to
make an honest dollar; who will dare
to haul it down? We have the terri¬
tory to make an empire of. With our
dear friends and fellow linguists who
drop their h’s, we shall acquire a bit
of China. Liberia is ours because some
of our citizens have been driven to set¬
tle there. We can absorb Nicaragua
and dig a canal that will paralyze Wil¬
liam of Germany. Not only westward,
but all over, and in every direction
shall the star of empire take Its way,
and d--d be he who first cries ‘Hold,
enough! * >»
Principles are beautiful things to
think or talk about. We read about
them in political platforms, president’s
messages, reports of the secretary of
the treasury telling us about the beau¬
ties of the gold standard, which is
driving all the gold out of the country;
the ears of the populace are stunned
with the masticated mouthfuls of them
burled from stump-speaking catapults;
college professors turn them over and
over like sweet morsels beneath their
tongues and then hand them over to
us to be swallowed like the hash the
servant girl chewed for her mistress to
swallow; they are simpered at us by
educational mongers and spit at us by
political vixen3, but the butcher, the
baker and the candlestick maker soon
discover, when the right to legislate
for their own interests is taken away
from them, that principles, though
very nice things, never materialize
into gdods, wares and merchandise.
They do not buy the baby a dress nor
the old man a pipe of ’baccy. The ap¬
plication of high-sounding phrases
stops where the sound ends, and an
eternal silence begins.
It is not because it is laid down in
the declaration of independence, that
‘governments derive their just pow¬
ers from the consent of the governed,”
that the principle which ought to un¬
derlie all human governments first
4
the light, it has been the princi¬
which the people of the earth
for six thousand years to im¬
upon the dull and stupid intel¬
of their rulers. It was, however,
Uie first time In the history of the
world that a nation was based upon it
as the foundation of its existence; it i9
the root of this government, and the
suly saving plank of our national au¬
tonomy. There can never be imperial¬
ism, oligarchy, aristocracy, or plutoc¬
racy against the consent of the gov¬
erned. It is the multitude that hasten
lo bow before Gessler’s cap, but the
William Tell who scorns the tyrant
does not escape so easily in these
modern days; he is blacklisted, finds
no employment and starves.
We. arc- all alike spectators at a
grand Punch and Judy show. We see
tbs puppets but not the hands that
manipulate them. Like children, we
sit with wide, open-eyed astonish¬
ment, wondering if they really talk.
It is a cheap show to the showman,
but the aggregate door money is fab¬
ulous and all of it comes out of the
pockets of the hypnotized audience.
We are ceasing to be citizens and are
fast becoming subjects, in pursuance
of the same system that prevailed
when tiie earth was young, and which
still prevails in the decrepit, emascu¬
lated nations of ibe old world, whose
governments are driving their subjects
to our shores. Happy at escaping from
the dutch of oppression, and their
stomach warmed with white bread in¬
stead of chilled with the bitter black
they fled away from, they dream of
heaven and never think of the future
of their children and their children's
children, when the bitter black bread
will he again doled out to them.—Liv¬
ing Issues.
POLITICAL THEOLOGY.
Theology, morals and the gold stand¬
ard seem to have grown in together
liice Siamese triplets, and, owing to a
misconceived notion of that sacred
sentiment once upon a time called “pa¬
triotism,” they are fed to the dear peo¬
ple as a virtue, aud the correct badge
of distinction between a good Ameri¬
can citizen and a wicked, fire-breath¬
ing anarchist.
Is it justifiable for a man to do
wrong that good may eorfle of it? I’
faith, it seems so, and if be lias once
fallen into the way of wrong doing, he
is bound to continue therein until the
final crash to preserve bis honor! The
doctrine leans a trifle away from what
ibe average American was formerly
taught at Sunday school, but as no
less a personage than Brother McKin¬
ley is preaching It to the youthful and
presumably innocent youth of our mod¬
ern Sunday schools, we are fain to
accept it as reformed doctrine, all the
more as the superintendents are cry¬
ing, like griped children for soothing
syrup, for him to come and teach them
the new doctrine.
A whole volume of things might b&
written arient. the theological view of
the Philippine situation, but the truth
is bad enough without being fanatical
about it. If Mr. Jabez Goldbrlck of
Musquash, who, year afer year, raises
corn at a cost of 22 cents a bushel and
sells it at 11 cents, feels that his honor
is involved in the theologico-political
moral situation in the Philippines,and
is satisfied therewith, all we have to
say is what the Frenchman said to his
congregation; “May the Lord preserve
and pickle you.”
It is a bald fact which detracts some¬
what from the practical value of our
system of education that a man who
can inform the public how they can
invest their money in the most expedi¬
tious way to lose it is more acceptable
to the community than he who tells
them how to avoid being swindled. It
is not a pleasant task, nor is it a
profitable one, to keep the dear people
out of the clutches of the goldbrlck
man or away from the shell game. It
is usual to attribute the quality of in¬
fidelity to his preachments because
he tarnishes the shimmer of the crown
of gold.
We envy the audacity of the Presby¬
terian clergyman who declared from
the pulpit of the Twenty-third street
(New York) Presbyterian church; "No
man can he an American citizen and a
Christian.” It may be that others in¬
cline to the opinion of the reverend
gentleman, in view of the treaty with
the sultan of Sulu, who is allowed to
practice polygamy and shoot Chris¬
tians.
Mayhap the good-intentioned Fili¬
pino feels the same thrill when his
conquerors permit an influx of Chinese
cheap labor into the Philippines. Or,
the Hawaiian may not gloat as he
ought over the American flag, when all
kinds of European dregs are brought
In under contract to compete with
him. It may also be possible that some
American citizens who are being ab¬
sorbed, body and soul, by the gold
standard, and forced to compete
against demonetized silver, are not as
hilariously patriotic as the pious devo¬
tees who rejoice at the combination of
flag, Bible and killing.
