The Right of Revolution Remains.

The railway employes of Kansas who ' helped “redeem” that state last fall, will be fully repaid for their patriotism. A bill for their benefit has been i itroduced in the state legislature and recommended for passage. Behold: Section 1 of the bill reads: “If any j locomotive engineer, conductor, fire- j man or brakeman, or any other people employed in the running of any train, j shall willfully and maliciously abandon his locomotive or train upon any railroad at any other point than the regular schedule destination of such ; locomotive or train, lie shall be fra' 1 net less Than nor more than SIOO i and confined not less than twenty days I nor more than ninety days in the conn- I ty jail.” The next section provides j that "any person or persons who shr.ll willfully obstruct the regular one’-: - .- j tion of the business of any railroad company or other corporation, or o; ■ the regular running of any freight or passenger train, or the labor and busi- j ness of any corporation, firm or indi- ; vidual, shall, on conviction thereof, be j punished the same as provided in coe- i tion 1.” There you are, boys. Just what you voted for. There is no longer any doubt that Kansas is “redeemed.” And the follows who redeemed it for the ; railroads and money loaners, are going to fix railroad employes so they will be quiet hereafter. Say, boys, tell the ’ truth —don’t you feel just a little fool- ! Ish about helping “redeem” Kansas? j Tt is the same way all over this glcri- j ous land of liberty. The great landslide hack to the republican end of pin- : tocracy has given the most experienced j pirates one more chance. And they j will use it in every case to pass such stringent laws against the wage workers as to bind us down completely. But let them twist the screws—-the j right of revolution remains, even ! though plutocracy should take away j cur vote. . ,
