Great bodies move slowly, and the public is slower tban monopolizing corporations. But a time may be conceived of, nay, even may be predicted, when thé public will become swifter than corporalions, aud when those corporations may not only be caught up with, bilt even rund to powder by the public wrath. - Y. Eveuing Post. Your cause is just, but in such a contest you grapple with giants. Do not underrate the power or the skill of your antagonista. Wise and conservative coun seis will alone secure succss. You must be as prompt to concede rights as you are determined in demanding them. Xo sgranin or comrnunistic spirit must finda place iu your proceediugs.-William Windom. If wc ever have a conflict between capital ami labor in tuis country. ït will be btcause of the injus:iee done tbe masses by corporated monopolies. It tberfore behooves all classes of citizens to sustain the efforts made by reasonable and intelligent citizeus to limit tbe power of men wbo, to use tbe words of a committee of the United States senate, "recognize no principie of action but personal and corporate aggrandizement."- ". Y, Daily Graphic. The four great railroads operating between the east and west have lately become a confederacy, and they cali ihemselves the "confedérate raílroads," and have adopted a constitution for tbeir own governmeut. They can and do put up or put dowu the rales. Their agreement to combine for the putting up of rates and charges is criminal in lts cbaracter, and has been so held and declared in Hm courts of Encland, and, under the law they should be convictad and imprisoned for it.- Judge Jere BlacK. The evil j, deep seated, and it requires sharp, active, courageous treatment. Au honest legislature of trustworthy men, cbosen to recover for the people the powers now wielded by monopolies, would remedy tbe evil in a short session. But such a legislature will not bechosen uutil the voters are wide awake to the danger, and so wide awake that they will make per sonal selection of their candidates, ciioos ing them as they would choose men to take care of their fortunes - men whom they know. and know thev can trust. -
