Facts that cime to lilit after the sui cide of a young Russian in London, give some idea of the .iiisery involved in aweat-sliop iahor. The unfortunate youth was paid 37 cents a dozen for "finishing" shoes, a process that com prises nearly Inlf the work of making the shoe. Conohkbs has repealed war taxes amounting to about $40,000,000 a year. It will not be necessary to put internal revenue stamps on checks, money orders telegrams, receipts, promissory ' notes, bills of lading, conveyances under (2500, insurance policies, mortgages, proprie tary medicines, and many other Ihings. A committer of .indignant citizens waited upon the returned legislator. "It is reported that vou got money for your vote in tlte senatorial fiyht," said the chairman. "It is false !" . shouted the returned legislator. ''Before leaving for Washington the man I voted fir ordered the bank not to honor the check." Ex. ; Tun London Tablet, organ of Roman Cilholics in England, looks for a general uvWal of the papal power in the British iilands, as a fulfillment of the old prophecy : In three hundred years and more tSixth Edward's mass shall be laid low. When Heventu Edward he shall reign Sixth Edward's massBhall be said again. Dk all the mean tricxs played upon a cjnflding people, the one played by the British government on the kind Ameri can friends who subscribed for the Brit ish war is the worst. No sooner does Great Brilain get the American dollars for British bonr's than Great Britain turns around and exacts an income tax from the holders and takes it out of the interest. Ex. Accormnu toM. Berthelot, the French scientist, in this century "the day will come when eyeiybody wi'l cany his little gaseous tablet, his little ball of fatty matter, his little bit of sugar, his little bottle of aromatic spice, according to his personal taBte; all these things produce,! more economically and in in exhaustible quantities by our cheinlc.il manufactories, independently of seasons, of rain or drought, of heat, whiih dries up plants, or cold, which' blights fruit; all free from the microbes which c.tnse epidemics and ars the enemies of life." Tins Spooner ainendmont to the army appropriation bill conferring imperial powtrs on the president reads: "All military, civil and judicial powers neces sary to govern the Philippines, ni'nuired from Spain by the treaties concluded at Paris on the 10th day of December, ISiKS, am! at Washington on the 7th day of November, U'OO, shall, until otherwise provided by congress, be vested in eucli manner as the president of the United SUtes shall direct for the establishment of civil government and for maintaining and protecting the inhabitants of Baid islands in the free etijoymont of their liberty, property and religion." Wiikn the half-Btarved women and children strikers at Scranton, Pennsyl vania, banded one of the factory lords a wage scale he scornfully threw the paper back to them and said : "Go curl your hair with it." Once an Infamous French monarcH told a committee that made a idea for bread, to "eat grasj." The workers of France, like the workers of lVtiiisvlvania. had been betrayed lor many years by politicians, and then came the Hood, t'apital is dally becom ing more arrogant; the class struggle Is now so plain that even children see it, but still workiugmou continue to be the playthings of capitalism's politicians. Let them pile on their insults. tlevo land Citizen. Yoi'Nfl John Rockefeller lectured to a lot of Y . M. 0. A. chappiei in New York on the subject, "How to Got On in the World." Instead of beating around the bush, young John could have condensed Ids harangue by saying, "got on thn Wks of the working men." This re- minds us that the young man's sister was recently asked by a reporter in Vietiiil whether 6he was happy with her great wealth, and she renlied that "the poor people are happier than the rich people because the poor know nothing of the burdens, cares and re sponsibilities that wealth tarries with it." Why don't she give away her wealth and be happy?" Ex. Tiik elder Pitt, in the Parliament of England, said of the policy of George (he Iil toward the American Colonies, "I rejoice that America has resisted. If I were an American as I am an Englishman and yon invaded my country by force, I would never cease to fight you, never, never!" Oh, for some Pitt to say in the bearing of McKinley and his Tory backers: "If 1 were a Filipino as I am an American, and you invaded my country by force, I would never cease to fight you, ..o, npver, never I" Let us all remember the great truth that "Our reliance is in the love of liberty which God has planted in us. Our de fense is in the spirit which liberty prizes as the heiitnge of all men of all lands everywhere. Those who deny freedom to oiherB deserve it not for themselves, and under a just God can not long main tain it." BUNCOED. Tim democratic senators who aban doned their opposition to the Philippine and Cuban amendments on the under standing that they were to be liberally dealt with in the distribution of pork under the River and Harbor and other appropriation bills, have mostly been buncoed. The last straw that broke the camel's back was an item for building four reser voirs lOmewbere out in the Western des ert, under pretense of "irrigating arid lands." Two senators, from Wyoming and Nevada insisted on reservoirs for their "arid lands" as a set-off to the ap propriations asked for by the Bait-water statesmen. And while the conferrees were hopelessly disagreeing on this plainly unjustifiable item, Carter, of Montana, under instructions of Presi dent McKinley, talked the whole bill to death. The Charles, on and Buffalo Ex position appropriations were also lost. The democratic senators who bartered principle for pork were thus cheated in the end and served them right. Mc Kinley first used them as tools, and I hen in contempt dropped them and the steals hidden in the river and harbor bill, DEFINITIONS OF SOCIALISM. Noah WebBter defines socialism as; A theory of society that advocites a more precise, ordeily and, harmonious arrangement of the social- relations of mankind than that which lias hitherto prevailed. The Standard dictionary says that socialism is: A theory of policy that aims to secure the reconstruction of society, increase of wealth, and a more equal distribution of the products of labor through the public collective ownership f labor and capital (as distinguished from property) and the public collective management of all industries. Its motto is "Everyone according to Ills deeds." The Century dictionary gives this def inition : Any theory or system of local organi zation which would abolish entirely, or in a great part, the individual effort and competilioii on which modern society rests, and substitute co-operation, would introduce a more perfect and equal dis tribution of the products of labor, and would make land and capital, as the in struments of pioduction, the joint pos session of the community. Worcester's dictionary Bays plainly that socialism is : A science of reconstructing society on entirely new basis, by substituting the principle of association for that of com petition in every branch of human in dustry. Then the Christian people of this country will be pleased to know that so cialism and Christianity are one and the same. The Encyclopedia Brittannica says: The ethics of socialism are identical with the ethics of Christianity. GROWING BUDGETS OF IlIG NATIONS It Is interesting to speculate on what the annual expenditures of the leading civilized nations will be at the end or even at the middle ol the present cen tury if they keep on increasing at the pace set by the nineteenth. Great Britain's Imperial Government is now spending money, not including Boer war expenses, at the rate of over $500,000,000 a year. That is an increase of 400 per cent, for the last century and of 81 per cent, since 1871. France under the great Napoleon and when he was carrying on his stupendous wars was spending a total of $225,000,000 a year. For li)J0 her expenditures, ia a time of peace, were almost four times as great. Her population has increased less than 30 percent, since 1S15, while her annual budget has increased 400 per cent. The German Empire, created only thirty-one years ago, lias nearly trebled the total of its annual expenditures in that short time. In 1900 they footed up nearly $400,000,003. Russia's ordinary expenditures have risen from a little over $200,000,000 in 1877 to $700,000,000 in 1900, and this takes no account of the $1,000,000,000 added to her vast r.dlroad debt within the last four years. Nor is the United States behind. Since President Buchanan's time oui yearly national expenditures have in creased from lees than $70,0000,000 to over $500,000,000. That is to say, they have been multiplied seven times, while our population has been multi plied two and a half times. This enormous increase in the yearly disbursements of all the leading govern ments of the world mostly represents in European budgets, and very largely in our own, money spent in war and in preparations for war. And all war is waste. Board of Commissioners. (Continued from page 1.) In the matter of the petition of J. C. Smith for a road.
