The Colorado and Chicago eruptions are symptoms of the degeration that has attacked the body economic of the capi- talist system, and those eruptions are' apt to spread over the entire body. There is no cause for alarm. Society is but reconstructing itself, and the process is eternal. These are transition daysâ€"eventful, stirring, and full of promise for the working class and all mankind. As long as there is a “working class ” and a “labor market,” there will be a class conflict that will preclude social peace. When all are useful workers and all have equal opportunity to produce wealth and enjoy it, there will be no classes and no animal struggle lor bare existence. This will be only when the workers own the tools and produce wealth for themselves. To procure these they must first secure control of government, and this is why the labor question is also a political question. When the work- ing class succeeds to political power, it will be easy to put the workers in pos- session of their tools‘and emancipate them from wage slavery. Industrial self-government is necessary to political self-government, and both are vital to a free nation. ____..____._..â€"â€"-â€"-â€"â€"â€"-â€"â€"â€"â€"â€" The Fenclon Falls Gazette. Friday, Dec. 16th, 1994:. THE PROVINCIAL ELECTIONS. The Ontario Legislative Assembly was dissolved on Monday last, and the electious for the new House will take place on Wednesday, January 25thâ€"â€" one week after the nominations, which will be held on the 18m. Next week. Premier Ross will commence a tour of the Province, and will address the elect ors in as many constituencies as possi- ble during the time at his disposal. Since the last Provincial election, in May, 1902, the Government’s majority was never more than five, and at the last session only three, yet many im- portant measures have been introduced and carried, and are now upon the pro- vincial statute books;;whicli ought to, and we believe will, lead to Mr. Boss's return to powor with a. materially 'lin- creased following. The Conservative cry that " the Government will be de- feated " is not now heard as frequently nor as vehemently as it. was a. short time ago. The selection of a Liberal candidate, to oppose Mr. Carnegie in this constitu ency, will be made at the convention to be held this (Friday).aftcrnoon, com- mencing at 1 o’clock, in Dickson’s hall. iiiâ€"reed. The Toronto Star. in an article head- ed ” A Record of'Killing." says that in the ten years from 189210 1902_;tl1e 71,704 persons and injured 453.271, and that for seven years past the rail- ways have annualy killed more people Gettysburg. This frightful loss is ai- most entirely the result of human greed, which, as some writer well says, is as thousands of human beings drag out a miserable existence, and nearly all the cfiects of the some cause. Greedâ€"the never-satisfied craving for more and more moneyâ€"appears to be a disease with which ninety-nine out offievery hundred men are afliictcd; and the sight of a possibly-obtainable dollar has the same effect upon them as the sight ol 9. possibly-catchable mouse has upon a catâ€"they are at once seized by an irresistable desire to grab it. No mat- ter how rich the average man may be, he wants to be richer, and will m1l§0 more money if he can, regardless of the happiness, the necessities or even the lives of his fellow-creatures. It is Said that “ corporations have no souls ;" but a corporation is merely an aggregation of soulless individuals, who run their industry, whatever it may be, with only one object in view-â€"--the increase of dividendswto which every other con- sideration has to give way. Can nothing be done to make them act as if they have souls, even though it be impossible to put souls into them ?" The Star, in the article above mentioned, says :.- “It would almost seem as if‘the rail- ways were too powerful and their busi necs too important to be interfered wrth by law or public opinion, notwithstand in: the frightful number of casualties that occur. Those who discuss the subject suggest that this, that and the other thing should be done in the ll)~ , .terests of safety, but they neither speak nor write as if they expected conditions to improve. When one train telescopes another and there is great loss of life, - itjs an accident, a calamity." -. ._~â€".â€"~â€"â€"â€"-u UThnt’s what's the matter. The rail- way. companies are too powerful}â€"that is, lcowealthy -to be interfered with, and, as they find it cheaper to have u smash-up and pay damages occasionally than to run more trains, take more ex- pensive precautions against accidents and work their employees fewer hours, they naturally follow the course by which they can make the most money. There is one way, and one only. b‘f which accidents on privately-owned railways can be reduced to a minimum, and that is by criminally prosecuting the owners of a line upon which has occurred an accident that could have been prevented by the expenditure of money, no matter how much. If the advice, once given, to “ hang a direc- tor "â€"-or, still better, the president~~ of a railway company were acted upon, the victims of greed would soon become much less numerous than they now are. The Transatlantic Cattle Trade. ___â€" The Globe says ‘. “ The Minister of Agriculture gave the public at Guelph some interesting to this country about 65 years ago, set- tling in Verulem. where hr has since resided. When Verulam was practic- ally a “Junkie " township, he sat in the municipal council along with two of his nephews. the late John and James Junkie, the latter of whom was reeve. He was appointed a J. 1’. many years ago, but verv seldom discharged any of the duties of that office. He was mur- riud before leaving Ireland to Matilda Williams, who pre-decessed him some fifteen years. Their union was blessed by a. large family, of which the follow ing members have also pro-deceased their father: Launcelot, drowned in Digby, Mrs. Wm. Devitt and Mrs. S. Knox of Verulum, Mrs. T. Patterson of' 'l‘ilbury, and one daughter who died in infancy. The. remaining members of the family are Thomas, John W., Wil- liam H. and Mrs. Robert Junkin of 'V'crulam, Mrs. V‘anValkenburg of Bob- eaygeen, and Robert, James E; and George H". of Toronto.

There is no reason why it should be otherwise, if one-may judge from the Guelph S-‘ock Show. In Mr. Dryden’s opinion the embargo on store cattle will scornbo lifted, as many socieiies are working with this end in view. There are, of course, other influences at. work. amongst them that of the 1triad) farmers, who raise cattle for transmissioia to Scotland and England to be fed. To decide the question on such aground would bespeak. singular narrowricSS on the part of the British Parliament; how- ever. There is plenty of market for both Canadian and Irish cattle, and after both countries have sent all they can furnish the people of Great Britain will still be too scantily. supplied with beef.

Thercnicmo charitable institution of .which we think more highly than the Toronto. Hespitsl. for Sick Children, and therc‘is none to which we would, if we had the menus, contribute more lib! orally. Last week we gladly made roomin our columns for the annual ap pool for. aid. which is published grat- uitously by a great. number of Ontario papers, and below we give the circular by which the advertisement was ac- companied : _ Dear Sir :; Iahope-that my newspaper friends will not tire of my annual request. for the insertion of a few paragraphs in the newspapers of the Province, concerning the Hospital for Sick Children. The Hospital is not 11210031 institution, but Provincial in the broadest sense of the term. Its doors are open at the cry of sulfering childhood in any part of the province of Ontario, and every sick child in the Province whose parents cannot afford to pay has-all: the benefits of the Charity free of all charge. The sick child resident in any city, town or village in Ontario, outside of Toronto, has just as much claim upon the priv- ilegescf the hospital as the child of Toronto who-lives within the shadow of its walls. We have “ Ontario News- that a score of children have this year been nursed in these cots. This fact surely must give pleasure to my. news- paper friends in the Province. It costs 98 cents per-patient per. day to run the hospital, and last year we had 761 sick, children in our care. ' Money is the muscle in the arm of the hospital's mercy, and *every- dollar your paper brings us is the siuew iu the out- stretched hand of 'the hospital’s help and mercy.
