supreiiiu court Ins just passed mi the Dob case and decided that he must go to jail. The case against Debs grew out of the A. It. lr. strike last summer, the charge being that of interfering with the passage of the United States mail, which everyone knows was not the fault of Mr.

Debs as the railway companies were bound by contract to carry the mails and tbey had no reason for slopping the mail trains during the strike for plenty ol' hands were available to move all such trains. The case was i list itutei for tjip sole purpose of casting calumny upon Mr. Debs and the American Hail way Union, and it has finally terminated in the decision from the S. Supreme which in prompt, obedience to its plutocratic masters remands Mr. Debs to jail for six months.

People are keeping tab on the acts of the various courts of ilie country, and it is hoped that when the day of recon-ing shall come they will pay full penalty for their unjust decisions against humanity. With them justice is an unknown quantity. The Kansas State lUmkers Association held a meeting in Tope last week. About 100 bankers were present 40 of whom favored free nilvcr coinage. They discussed various phases of the money question and drafted the following as their way of settling the financial difficulties: government should as quickly as possible' go out of the banking, money issuing and ex port gold fiirnihsing business.

This being agreed upon, what are the questions of the practical problem? Mainly the retirement of about of United States notes and $150,000,000 of treasury notes of 1800, redeemable in coin. practically gold, which were our daily nightmare last i year, me tunning anil retiring of this $500,000,000 should be accomplished without the slightest disturbance by the issuance under new legislation of two per cent gold bonds and au equal amount of new circulation based upon and secured by the deposit ot the bonds in the treasury, and as these demand notes are not now held by national banks, state banks, trust companies, savings banks and individuals, and as they have value from their "gold demand" quality in addition to theiruface value as currency, the present holders should receive as compensation whatever advant age comes from the exchange that is the 2 percent per annum on the bonds in' the new currency. The new eirenlation should not be the promise of the government to pay, nor the promise of the hank, because it represents and is seemed by the government gold bonds which is the promise tp pay and the ony one needed."

It's better In this christian hind to he the pet poodle pf a rich man, than to bo a poor human being, albeit a "child of God and made In Ills lmajje."

Tho Illinois supreme court lias "decided that any law restricting the hours of labor is unconstitutional! It mnintuins that employers may hire men, women and children wen ty bonis day for tiny agreed price! Under this decision if a man or woman can be found noor and isinorant enouuh hev can sell them solves for life to work twenty hours a day-chattel slavery in its form. The lays down tho law unit upholds that principle.

A contract for labor between an employer and a starving man or woman is exactly of the character ot the contract between a hiirhwuy robber and his victim it death to re fuse. Chattel slaverv is humane eonionred with it. There are in Chicago thousands of miserable men, women and children whoso conditions are worse than tho black slavery of forty years asro. Thev are cheaper and more protitahle than chattel slaves. Ami as the grout majority of ihe black slaves remained at home supplying from Held, shop and niiiie tite sinews of war to support their masters in 1 he Held to keep them iu bondage, so tno wmtc slaves or neui.

When I take into consideration 1 the agony of 'civilized' life- the fail iw usy I lift anxieties, the tears, the withered hopes, the bitter realities, the hunger, the crime, the humiliation, tin; shame 1' am almost forced to say that canuibal-jstn, al'UM' all, is the jiiost merciful I'oi in in which man has ever lived tipon his fellow man. It is impossible for a man with a good'heart to be with the world as it now is. No man can truly enjoy even what he earns that he knows to be his own knowing that, millions of his fellow men arejn misery and want. When we think of the famished we feel that it is almost heartless to eat. To meet the ragged iind shhering makes one almost ashamed to ho well dressed and warm one feels as though bis heart was as cold as their bodies.

In a world tilled with millions and millions of acres of laud, waiting to be tilled, where one man can raise the food for hundreds, millions are on the edge of Marvatiou. Who can comprehend the stupidity at the bottom of this truth? Is there to be no change! Are the Hiivvs of supply and demand," invent ion and science, monopoly and com petition, capital and legislation always to be the enemies of those who toil? Will I ho workers always be ignorant enough and stupid enough to give their earnings for the useless? Will they support millions of soldiers to kill the sous of oth er work ingiiion? Will they al-wuys build temples and live in huts and dims themselves? Will they forever allow parasites and vampires to live on their blood? "Will they remain the slaves of the lieggars they support? Will honest men step taking off their hats to successful frauds? ill industry, in the presence of crowned idleness, forever Ml upon its leneesf W'UI tbey understand that beggars cannot be' generous, and that every healthy man must earn the right to live? Will they llnally say that the man who has had equal privileges with all oth ers has no right to complain, or will thev follow the example that has been set lv their oppressors! Will they learn Uat force, tomm-ceed, must have thought behind it, ami that anything done in order that it may endure, must rest upon the cornerstone of just ice.

If the recent tax is unconstitutional, what about the income tax laws of olden times! The decision of the Supreme Court declaring the incomo tax unconstitutional was a long stride in proof of the onward march of plutocracy. More poverty, more cl ime, more misery will bo the result as the stiuggle becomes fiercer between the oppressed taxpayers anil the money kings whose incomes aie by servile courts. A bond issue is now in sight without a doubt, since President Cleveland is not inclined to call an extra session.

All the July payments possible will be held up up and every means used to tide over matters until fall. The deficit will reach about but will bo kept from the people as long as it can he. Taken alto-together it ought to be pretty good populist weather. The great temperance paper, the New York Voice, has come out square-toed for the single gold standard. What a pity that such a paper as the Voice, enlist ed in the cause of exterminating the honor traiiic should be ar rayed against the people in a light that is four-fold more important than prohibition that of emancipating the masses from the thralldom of plutocracy.

Prohibitionists, the church and many clergyman seem to be easj; vic tims of the money power. The decision of the Supreme Court in regard to the income tax is attracting much attention. rn.nL.i I. .1 1... i.

ii nu hi hjii in iiui court room when the opinions were read never witnessed a more sensational incident. Chief tice Fuller seemed to be in a hurt ry to get through with, the mat ter, while some of the ot her mem bers of the court were a studv. This is especially true of Justice Shiras who votedfor theMawiit the first bearing 'but recently changed his mind on this great question. If ever man looked guilty, he diit. In fact bis hang-dog look was commented on freely and was noticed by all.

It would be interesting to, know just what the con sideration was that caused hiiu to nave i wo umereut opinions tin the same subject inside of one month. IVhen Justice 11 aria i shook his list at the Chief Justice and denounced the decision us revolutioneiy the climax was reached. It sounded as natural as a populist nun meeting. Justice White was equally as severe and revolutionary in his dissenting opinions. This decision is in perfect accord with the times, and is only a further evidence of the fact that wealth rules and governs this nalieu.
