"DINNA YE HEAR THE SLOGAN)" During' the Sepoy rebellion against Great Britain, a considerable number of the latter s forces were hemmed in at Cawnpore, these being chieflv the 68th Highlanders and a few of the officers families, attached to one of which was a girl named Jessie Brown. The garrison, having no communication with the outside world, was soou reduced to desperate In an apparent delirium the circumstances. Dinna girl all at once started up, shouting of them, Perhaps none ye hear the slogan ? but in it not even herself, heard it reality, was coming nevertheless and they were rescued just in the nick of time. Jessies exclamation has been used in many a political campaign, but now it has an aptness and a force which it never could have had before. The great working classes of the United States, those who produce that others may consume, those who create wealth that others may have and enjoy it, those who are the bone and sinew of the otherwise flabby and bloated substance of the body politic, have had an awakening. They realize at last that d the prosperity which has been dinned into their ears for two presidential terms, is to them a saving at the bung and losing at the spigot that whereas, they are receiving as a horizontal proposition perhaps 25 per cent more in wages, they are paying 50 to 100 per cent more for the necessaries of life. This is not .the worst of it : The aggregation of capital in the hands of the select few not only increases steadily, but the ratio of increase also expands ; for instance, if Rockefeller's income last year was $10,000,-00- 0 which it doubtless was it will this year be $12,000,000, and next year $15,000,000. There are only a limited number of millions in the country, and when the money barons have absorbed all of it as eventually they must ' with the trend their way steadily increasing what then? It is easy to say "calamity howler and trouble breeder, because no other reply is available ; but in the face of the stern, unrelenting facts which are paraded before the people every day, will the people at last be satisfied with such reply ? Water is always seeking its level and unless agencies other than natural be applied will find it. When the wrongs of a vast body of people, having within themselves the power to effect reform, reach the stage at which endurance is no longer tolerable, something be yond what has previously prevailed as a rule of action is likely to occur. Does this suggest In some measure, yes. a revolution ? Forcible, violent, destructive ? Oh, no.

By no means that is, not by direct physical action but by such means as will produce naturally and peaceably conditions resulting in less violent social contrasts. It is not proposed that convulsions, but that a more placid, In plain normal condition shall prevail. terms, from him that hath much, much will be required. He will have to give up in the way of supporting the government in proportion to his holdings and not be shaded as heretofore by the assessor and tax gatherer, such shading amounting as a rule to absolving him from payment on more than half the whole much-vaunte- dutiable list ; while legislation in furtherance of exemptions to giant corporations, creative of privileged classes and encouraging unjust discriminations in trade, must go. The farmer must have a$ much special protection as the one who gambles upon the products of the farm or the one who transports them ; the producer of bullion must not be discriminated against in favor of the exchange sharps there must, in fine, be a condition of things more nearly approaching the spirit of tfie great charter upon which the national fabric rests, and .the voters will bring it about. There is nothing seditious or suggestive of disintegration in this, just the reverse. It means liberty, equality, fraternity. It will come. The slogan has sounded. 1 When war was declared against Spain that quick, feverish and yet healthful impulse pervaded the nation by means of which all the regiments desired were filled up as in the twinkling of an eye. .This went to show, as has so often been shown, that when the country is in peril, party and social lines are thrown down and the greater part of the people meet upon a common level, each determined to maintain the honor and substance of the national fabric. It has never been different and never will be. The genuine American is an American first,' other thfngs afterward. In the face of this showing, incontrovertible and in fact indisputable, is it not a little strange that our Republican friends should so persistently arrogate to themselves the credit of successfully carrying through all the wars of recent times ? Supposing all the Democrats had been against the administration ? but never mind. When, as reported, war was declared against Spain, the patriotic impulse led; the united people to rise in their majesty and stand up for Uncle Sam as against the common enemy. Furthermore, congress,' without division, placed within the presidents hands, fifty million dollars with which to buy worships and equipment. There was- no sectionalism nor partisanism in it. The Southern states were first in the field and WHY DONT YOU SPEAK FOR YOURSELF, MARK? were first at the front all, or nearly all, of these being against the administration poThree More Trips to the Worlds Fair. litically.
