There is in truth but one political ques-
ton before the worlds workers, and that
is, as to whether the many or the few
shall own the land from which all life,
all support, all wealth, and all food, shell
ter and clothing come. Those who con-
troll the earth control all things upon it..
Labor ought to own it, that labor may
live and have q PLACE upon which to
work. Thus far in the history of the
world, and upon this fundamental ques-
tion Of the ownership of the SOIL civili-
zatiOn has been a fraud and a failure,
but the light IS spreading and the multi
tude bepin to think. Already a whole
people. as in Ireland, have made the
land question vital issue, and wherever
the English language is spoken and the
workers meet for consultation the queS-
ton of land ownership arises and is dis
cussed with but one result for the con-
clusion is everywhere reached that the
earth Was made for man, for all men, and
not for few, and that all men must own
it or have the right&to live upon it, free
of tribute and without being considered
trespassers In New York the trade
unions have adopted the cry of. "The
land for the people" So, too, in Califor-
MIA, in Pennsylvania, in Canada, and
even in Louisiana, and rarest, if not best,
all of the trades congress Of England,
which has just concluded its annual ses-
sien in Manchester, pronounced in favor
of the naturalization of the soil as laid
down by the American political econo-
mist, Henry George, in his work,

Marx and remember it, The peace of
light must be preceded b the night of
war and strife. You, the workers of the
world, make all and have nothing.
Those who made nothing, by law or by
force, have all. 1t is your own. Do you
now be men. Cringe not and beg for
that which is thine own, but since it is
yours go and take it.
There are wrongs that rankle in our
hearts; there are shames that call
bushes to our cheeks. When we be-
come aware of them, when we know
them fully, then disGontent becomes
anger And anger's hands: build barri-
cades. From the top of these barricades
of revolution speaks a voice to the
people:
Citizens Picture to yourselves the
future Tie streets Of the cities flooded
with light, green branches upon the
thresholds, the nations, sisters, men just,
crime dead, hunger abolished, misery
killed, old men blessing the little child
ren, thinkers in full liberty, believers in
full equality, for religion the heavens,
no more hatred, the fraternity Of the
workshop and the school, all laborlng
and all enjoying, over all peace, no more
bloodsfed no more war, humanity
clasping hands in justice and in love.
To Kill the wrongs that are is the first
step, to- build anew is the second.
Oh, thou man Of the bsrricade posted
here for liberty, listen; thou hast adopted
humanity for thy mother and the right
for thy father Thou art goingl to die
here; that is, to triumph. Citizens,
whatever may happen to-day, through
our defeat as well as through our victory,
we are going to effect a revolution.
And what revolution Shall we effect?
have lust said the revolution Of the
true. There is but one single principle,
the sovereignty of man over himself.
This is liberty. Where several Of these
s0yereignties associate, the State begins.
But in this association there is no
abdication, all should be Illuminated
with light, which is truth, which is
Justice. light, then light for all

From England we learn that the gen
eral conference Of coal miners held
at Leeds on the eighteenth was awaited
with great anxiety by the masters and
the army of manufacturers who depend
upon cheap coal for the continuance of
their business: Three propositions
came before the conference: the first
demanding an increase Of wages; the
second to restrict the men from working
more than five days week, Or more than
eight hours a day, and the third in favor
Of restricting the output Of coal with
out providing for any change in wages or
hours Of labor. The masters strenu-
ou8ly opposed any change whatever, of
course.

THE BRIEF tale Of the sufferings
of the Jeanette crew, told in our
teIegraphic columns ON Tuesday
morning, is but one of the many
similar stories that have been re-
lated during the past two centur-
ries. In some instances no one has
lived to recount the hardships en-
dured, OF tell of the terrible trials
Of the poor explorers before death
went to their relief. It would be
difficult to enforce a law against
suicide, but it would not be hard to
prevent men from suiciding in this
particular manner. Enough has
been learned of the Polar regions
to know that a perfect knowledge of
the region could be of no practical
benefit to man, except in the way
of satisfying curiosity. To
crafty that curiosity enough lives
have been lost, and enough suffer
ing endured. The Pole will not
run away. It can safely be trusted
to its solitude for century or so
and by that time, PERHAPS, means of
locomotion will be provided by
which such obstacles as mountains
of ice and perpetual snow-storms
may be defed, and it may be by
that time human inventive genius
will devise something to be utilized
in the Polar regions for modifying

among friends of herself and of her

the proper and just recognition OF
her equal claims upon the country,
contains several material sErorss chief
among which being the statement
that she is very wealthy" It is
true that Mrs. Polk has q home left

State of Tennessee. But she has not
the means 10 keep it up, as the result
of the late war deprived her OF an
income from q plantation. She is
owner of few Tennessee State bonds
the income from which is compar-
atively insignificant, and the recent
decision of the State Supreme Court
has, OF course, materially deprecated
their value. She has lived out all
other means. On the scoree of ne
cessity, therefore, there is not among
the surviving widows OF deceased
Presidents of the United States one
whose claims are more deserving the
consideration of the American Con
gress. The wealth-pIoducipg states

under the Polk administration, add
ing millions to the revenues OF this
country and 10 the private wealth of

American people, and the comfort

TIE Breaoers' Journal publishe S
official statistics, showing that in
1881 nearly 100000 barrels of
malt liquor were sold in the United
States, or about 100000 per month.
The sales reported from North Car
DINA were only four barrels, and no
sales were reported from Alabama,
Arkansas, Florida, Maine. Missis-
sippi or Vermont. New York City
sold nearly 100000 barrels, Phila-
delphia 100000, and St. Louis,
Brooklyn, Cincinnati and Milwau-
kee more than 100000 barrels
each. An increase over the previous
year is recorded for pretty
nearly every place, the aggregate
increase for the last eight months
of 1881 over the last eight months of
1880 being 100000 barrels. If the
increase in the consumption of malt
beverages were 20 be counterbal-
anced by a corresponding decrease
in whisky drinking, the showing
would be better and more encour-
aging; but as the consumption of
the spirituous liquors increases,
though not quite so rapidly as malt,
the outlook for the temperance
cause cannot be said to be particu-
larry bright.

COLONEL MCCLURE, the yig-
Orous and outspoken anti-Mor-
mon editor Of the Philadelphia
Times, was in the House of Repre-
sentatives when the Edmunds bill
was Iassed. Honestly and earnestly
as Mcclure hates the Mormons-a
hatred that has existed since before
he was a resident in the far west
the Edmunds bill is too severe for
him to swallow. In a long dispatch
to his paper, after describing the
scene in the House before the re-
pubIicans consented to the discus
sion of the measure, he says:
While there can be no divided senti-
ment among all good citizens as to the
necessity Of erresting the power and
growth Of polygamy, regard the bill
lust passed as very dangerous and need
lessly severe measure. 70 deprive the
territory Of Utah of responsible govern
xnent and place it under q commission
with the most pleRary and arbitrary
powers, is to place the wealth and prop
erty Of the Mormon people at the mercy
OF men who are not likely to be scrup-
uloUs in profting by their authority. Un-
der the direction Of the class of men who
most seek and obtain territorial appoint
Ynente the commissioners under the law
passed to-day, dealing with the fansti-
Cism that SO largely rules IN the Mormon
church, can execute its letter and plum
der the Mormons of half their great
wealth, and it is no unreasonable app.e-
hension that they will do 60. a plain,
lust and lawful remedy for polygamy
could have been enforced by simply pro-
viding that polygamists shall be inelig-
ible to vote at territorial cleo
tons, Ineligible to Office and in
eligible as Jurors. The executive,
judicial and all general territorial offices
are now federal appointments and the
simple remedy Of making the polygsm-
lists voiceless in the government, with q
severe pensl code for those guilty OF
marrying plural wives in the future,
would accomplish ali the good that can
be accomplished by the bill passed to-
day without affecting any vested rights
of families or forcing a revolutionary
in the persecution of the Mormons under
color of law, not to suppress the crime Of
UOlygamy, but to perpetrAte official
crime for Mormon plumber. There is
not much good stealing lett In the south;
the northern states are getting decidedly
uncomfortable for public thieves, and
Utah is the only place where good
stealing may be found with fair prospect
of success. The south could be ro5Sed
by carpet bsggers With impunity because
it was the south of rebellion, and Utah
can now be robbed because it Is the home
Of polygsmisls and is despised by all good
citizens for its degradation OF religion to
besstly lust and cunning greed.
He further says the bill "deforms
the most vital theories of honest
government" tnat it was "whipped
through Congress by providing DEM
agogues, in defiance Of every adj
Rnonition Of enlightened statesman
ship" and that it "Win be materially
modified before five years Stall
have passed away" We do not be
ieve FIVE years viii pass before tbs
men who have been foremost in the
passage of this bill viii be more
anxious for It's repeal than they
were for its enactment.

ate for superintendent of county schools
in Lewis and Clarke county very
gallantly withdraWs in favor of Miss
Clark. Tho following Is his letter on
the subject:
To the Democratic rioters Of Leu'iS ord
Clarke County:
The republican county convention
having placed Miss Ellen P. Clarke in
nomination for county superintendent
of public schools, / desire to withdraw
my name from the ticket as a candidate
for this office. While ! am thankful to
my friends and party for placing me in
nomination for SO important an official
position, in common with many demo-
cratic voters / can heartily recommend
my opponent as q lady well qualified
and eminently worthy of the position,
and as a daughter of one Of our oldest
and most esteemed citizens, a native OF
our county, and intimately connected so
long with its educational interests, and
as I am informed q democrat in prin-
ciple, / would suggest that her name be
placed in lieu Of my own, upon our
county ticket.
Your obedient servant,

except with the assistance Of transient
soiourners who are employed upon rail-
road construction within our limits.
Their expectation OF aid from this source
can only be predicated upon the theory
that the railroad corporations from Wall
street III New York will compel their
employees III Montana by threats of dis
charge or other like influences to yste
for the democratic candidate without
respect TO their political opinions or per-
sonal preferences. And having COM
mitted itself to this d~astarlly scheme,
the democratic convention proceeded 70

from the profession to which she had
dedicated her prime, travelled about the
country lecturing In praise Of female
virturc. But none of these offers SO
monstrous q spectacle of braZen inconsis-
tency as the democratic convention Of

prating about ga free and incorruptible

Let me not be misunderstood. We
have no hostility to feel and no war to
wage upon the railroads that are within
our borders. The republican party is
nothing il not progressive; it Is incap-
able Of cherishing SO churlish and re-
dictionary a sentiment. We recognize in
railroads prime factors IN ushering in
that era Of prosperity that is dawning
upon us. AS coadjutors to assist lis,
though not rs rulers to Cypress us, We
greet them with 81 right western vel

Gentlemen: You cannot expect any
extended remarks ut this time. With
= genuine sense Of awe st the response
bility that has been dcvolyeti upon me;
with an unaffected recognition OF my
unWorthiness Of your fattering conf
dence, [ enter upon the campaign with
the assurance that I will receive your
hearty cooperation, and with the deter
mination that no effort of mine shall be
wanting to bear the republican standard
to victory.

Marshall was interrupted frequently

Ct his speaking three hearty cheers were
