A Pittsburg glass manufacturer has the
contract for making an urn OF plate glass
for the ashes of Columbus, the discoverer
of America. When he died he was bur
led at the convent of st. Francis, in Sc.
vile, only to be disinterred, and after
several funerals, with an interval OF some
years between each, was brought back
across the water, where he WAS buried in
American soil. His bones were subse-
quently removed to the Cathedral of
Santa Domingo. The custodians of tho
remains have sent communication to a
South Side firm announcing the inten-
ton and asking for the design OF an urn
and an estimate of the cost. The letter
stipulated that the urn must be large
enough to hold the casket with the lid
open, that the inscription may be visible !;
the urn must be ornamental, yet nothing
in the design must interfere with clear
view of the casket, while it was parlicu-
larly stipulated that the urn when COM
pleted must be graceful and attractive in
appearance. The casket is small. The
space within the urn must be II. "a inches
in length, SO inches IN width and - 65
inches in depth. Within those dimen-
sions the casket and the dust can be

Supervisor Strother has been partic-
ularly devoted to the popular ca ause in
this matter and deserves the thanks Of
the public. He has watched things night
and day; throughout the whole count on
Monday he was active and vigilant. To
his exertions we may say that we are in
debted for not being successful Ply counted
out. That there was a terrible effort
made to accomplish such result is be-
yond ali doubt fact.
In conclusion we may as we'll remark
that the result shows how SIN all an "in-
fuence" the monopoly sheets of San
Francisco really have.
The small vote cast is accoun nted for in
this way. The various large corporations
declined to allow their employees to quit
work and vote. This of itself is. an infamy
and should be rebuked.
AS we 60 to press it is stated that John
F. Swift, the corporation Freeholder boss,
has stated that HE proposes to contest
the matter. Let the legislature take
warning.
In final conclusion Truth feels justified
in hoisting the rooster Of victory and
claiming it as chiefly our q wn work.

THE TRUTH OF 1T.
a Monopollstio Infamy Attempted in
the City Of San Fran
cisco.

We call the especial attention of every
reader of Truth to the following state
nent of the situation regarding the new
charter.
We present the case from the begin
ming for the benefit of our eastern ex,
changes whom we request to re-publish
and widely circulate this article.
During the time of the existence of
the workingmen's party of California
and before its sale and delivery to the
monoDoies of this state there existed on
the statute books of this city and state
certain laws passed for the very purpose
of killing the movement, and known as
gag laws. Under these laws the orators
and agitators Of the party were promi-
nentIy jailed by the authorities.
The autocrat of the w. P. c., Dennis
kearney was sentenced to the house of
correction and it was while there, that
he bartered, sold and betrayed the party
OF which he was the nominal head and
agreed to disorganise and disrupt it,
Ills agreement he carried out, and the.
party IN that form was slain.
Since that day Dennis Kearney has
been IN the service of monopoly and has
done all that was possible for him to do,
TO Kill all LABOR agitation by leading it
astray on false issues and giving it an
unWholesome name and reputation.
These facts are well known to the
"orklngmen Of San Francisco and it is
time they should also be known east.
After hearney's release from prison

Infamy InconoeixGbIe.

Prince krqpotklne, who was recently
sentenced in France to five years. i'm
prisonment for alleged conspiracy against
the government, is suffering from con-
geStlon OF the brain, and during large
portiopof the time is deliriouB. He is
closely confined by his French iailers at
Lyons, and the Russian minister has
been allowed to place two stenographers
by his bedside to take down hisdelirious
rawlings, in the expectation that he may
unconsciouslY divulge important secrets
of the nihilists or anarchists. Have all
manhood, honor and humanity left Re-
publican France that she Joins hands
with despotiC Russia in such fouI'work?
Preserving the wild outpourings Of deli
rum as evidence against a prisoner and
his friends is a pie of vilIainy almost
inconceivabIe. It would be revolving
enough to all honest men if the French
government were to adopt such misera-
BILE means to serve it's own ends, but
when it delivers the helpless. brain-tor-
tured prisoner into the hands of Russian
spies, it sinks to a depth of infarny abso-
lutely contemptibIe.-Boston Globe.

s onnds He did not enter the saloons,
however. At each one he gave "the
bovsn who accompanied him a bill and
1ent around the corner while he left his
oord and "set up the drinks" At an
other election, in New York, the presi-
dent of national temperance society
ran for congress. He did not 60 around
the corner while the drinks we're set up
for him by proxy. Heascertained about
what each saloonkeeper in his district
#exDected to make out of him, and sent
him the money.
3 It might be well to consider how far
prohibitory legislation would be useful
sin preventing this and similar customs,
lby which candidates are bled, AS a
great deal of the money spent in elec-
tions is extorted from candidates rather
than voluntarily spent by them, it might
to some extent be useful as furnishing an
excuse for refusing. But / am inclined
/ 10 think that change in the manner of
6Voting, which would dispense with the
2"worker" and the ticket peddler," and
srender it impossible to see how any man
voted, would 50 destroy the influence of
The GROCERY in politics as to do away
with these species of blackmail, and as
well with the many other forms of ex-
8ortion practiced upon candidates.
No mere Improvement Of political ma
ebinery will suffice Of itself to give US
Bure government but it ought to be
possible to so improve our methods that
"a citizen can rum for office and be elect
ed to Office without spending large
sum or mortgaging his official act. 1t
ought to be possible to break up that
system which tends to bar all but the
.unscrupulous rich, or the still more i'm
scrupulous poor, and which demOralizes
the people while if corrupts the govern
ment.
We need in public service the very
highest character and the very best
ability, and this need increases with
social development We can command
them if we make character and ability
free to come forward and offer their ser
vices without derogation to manhood,
and the people free to select them; for
there is in the public service that which
is attractive to the proper ambition
strong in every unSpoiled man. What
most astonishes one who realizes how
corrupt and corrupting is the mire of our
practical politics, is the virtue and pat
riotism there yet is, despite it, in our
public service.
That. democratic government is with
us becoming a failure is clear; that we
are driving towards Oligarchy and Caesar
ism in new form may be seen by who
ever will look. But they are weak and
foolish who say democracy is therefore
condemned, or that universal suffrage
must be abandoned. Let us fairly try
democracy before we condemn II let US
give universal suffrage opportunity be-
fore we vainIy talk Of curtailing it. Not
only is it impossible to 90 back, but the
dangers which menace us come merely
from bad adjustments. When there is
danger that his sails may be taken aback
the good seaman shifts his helm and
trims his yards. He does not chop away
his masts. Nor does a good surveyor
condemn stanch ship because she has
been suffered to foul with barnacles.-
Henry George in North American Re
view.
THE TRUTH OF 1T.

realize the thought and hope Of long
suffering and patient people.
| 1 had hoped in the. beginning of this
article to write never a-word of that Pc
culiar and limited class who for personal
ends, and through selfish fear of being
lost or obscured by great gen neral move
ment, antagonize all attempts to harmons
ize and bring into one effective organiza-
ton the entire body of opposers to the
iniquities of capitalized conspiracy.
And yet I will not conclude without q
word to them. Conceding to the utmost
the right Of even the narrowest man to
his own honest opinion, and honoring
him for acting in the conviction of its
truth, yet deny to broader but more
selfish class the privilege of opposing a,
movement directly in their own line Of
thought, for no other reason than because
some other man or men besides them
selves projected it upon the public. I
would not mention this but for one
thing. Ever since l became interested
in reform matters have seen the best
ideas of the best men crushed by the
small men of the party, and for no other
reason than the one given above,
It may be that in the greater need of
this time, by the nearness of our danger,
that even these men will awaken to that
better spirit Of manly concession that is
willing to Law down all and take their
chances in the hope ofthe general reno
vation that must benefit every one of us.
have hopes that all men will prove
themselves patriots now; that they will
stand by the peoples interests even in
seeming opposition to their own individ-
ual interests.
For know that day by day humanity
is growing up from that seIfshness which
recognizes only personal interests, to
that self-hood which individualizes for
z+fall, and which calls loudly for exact and
equal chances in the struggle oflife.
For myself not being citizen of this
republic, nor Of any nation under the
sun, submitting to laws had no hand
in making, deprived even of the name
descended to me from my father, brand
ed with title that destroys my owner
ship to myself and establishes another
persons proprietorship in me, I am glad
to say that my interest in humanity,
even under such wrongs, is so great that
l am willing to work in any way that
:, promises amelioration to the whole peo-
pie. And l say this not only for myself,
but for thousands of my sister women
who have worked and are still working
for humanity at large with an unselfsh-
ness that ought to prove at once not
only their right to all the privileges of
y, recognized equality in this land, but that
actually does establish claim to that
high and holy craftsmanship at this time
apparently banished from our govern
ment. And [ say that if the men, our
natural protectors" are too narrow and
E jealous to combine in this present great
effort for the consolidation of the anti
monopoly party, it had better be submit

rlnce! VIII you, Alice, receive IL
at my hands at such price? And
yOu, Duncan; guide me; control me
between you; for I am wholly yours"
"Would ~! echoed the indignant
and astonished youth. "Cors! Cora!
you jest with our misery! Name
not the alternative again ; the thought
itself is worse than a thousand
deaths"
"That such would be your answer,
| well knew" exclaimed Cora, her
cheeks flushing, and her dark eyes
once more sparkling with the linger-
ing emotions Of woman. "What
says my Alice? for her will | sub
NIT without another murmur."
Although both Hayward and Cora
listened with painful suspense and
deep attention, no sounds were heard
in reply. 1t appeared as if the deli
cate and sensitive form of Alice would
shrink into itself as she listened to
his proposal.
In a few moments, however her head
began to move slowly, in sign Of
deep, unconquerable disapprobation.
"No, no, no; better that we die as
we have lived, together"
"Then die" shouted Magua, hurl-
ing his tomahawk with violence at
the unresisting speaker, and gnash-
ing his teeth with rage that could
not be bridled, at this sudden exhi-
bition of firmness in the one he be-
lieved the weakest of the party. The
axe cleaved the air in front of Hey
ward, and cutting some of the flow
ing ringlets of Alice, qulvered in the
tree above her head. The sight mad
dened Duncan to desperation. Col
lecting all his energies in one effort,
he snapped the twigs which bound
him, and rushed upon another saw
age, who was preparing with loud
yells and a more deliberate aim to
repeat the blow. They encountered,
grappled, and fell to the earth to-
gether. The naked body of his an
tagonist afforded Hayward no means
of holding his adversary, who gllded
from his grasp, and rose again with
one knee on his chest, pressing him
down with the weight of a giant
Duncan already saw the knife glesm-
ing in air, when whistling sound
swept past him, and was rather ac-
companied, than followed by the
sharp crack of a rifle. He felt his
breast relieved from the load it had
endured he saw the savage express
ion of his adversary's countenance
change to look of vacant wildness,
when the Indian fell dead.
