Since the publication Of report
that President Cleveland had deter
mined to spend part of his summer
vaction up at Litchfeld, in Connecticut,
saws the New York Times, every farmer
and boarding house keeper in that part
of the country has been deluged with
applications for summer accommoda-
tons, and there is project on foot to
build big hotel near the town as
speculation growing out Of this exPec-
tation of visit from the President.

A SAN FRANCISCO paper says the
Eastern gold bugs seem 10 owe Nevada
a grudge on account of her silver pro
duct. They would close the Mint at
Carson to check the coinage of the
white metal. They are apparently ig-
norant of the fact that some OF the
Comstock bullion now yields as high as
S. per cent. of gold, and that the total
product of the State is about evenly d.
vided between gold and silver. They
never seemed 10 realize the fact that
during the flush days of the bonanza
the output, which threatened to disturb
the relations OF the metals, was almost
40 per cent. gold. None SO blind as
those who will not see.

NEW EDITION-SETTLER'S
GUIDE.

Henry N. Copp, the land lawyer of
Washington, has just issued the tenth
edition of his Settlers Guide. 1t is an
indispensable book for all who are, or
expect 10 be, interested ii public land.
Settlers will save money by punching it,
and all who expect to take up land
should get posted on the several laws
under which land can be entered. A
chapter, illustrated with numerous cuts,
shows how to tell township, section
and quarter section corners and explains
the systems Of surveys. 1t gives Com
missioner Sparks orders and several
late decisions and instructions, and full
information about the homestead, pre-.
emption, timber culture, desert land
and other laws. The price Of the book
is only IS cents.
1t will tell you who is entitled to
enter land; how continuous your resid
ence must be; what Improvements you
must make; what affdavits you must
swear to; all about contests and on
what grounds they can be commenced;
also about State lands, stone and tim
Der lands, mineral lands, desert entries,
saline, railroads, coal, townsite, and
other lands, script, warrant, and other
entries, SC. It's purchase will save
you money and trouble, as erroneous
statements circulated by conversation
among settlers may, if acted upon, cost
you a contest, perhaps your land and
Improvements.

WHY THEY MUST GO.
A Correspondent Gives Few
Reasons why the Chinese VIII
have to Go.

AeIsO1S why thc NhhcsI wal
have to Go.
EDITOR TINES Thinking it may be
OF interest, presen, few OF my rea-
sons for favoring the anti Chinese
movement, viz: Because am an Ameri-
can citizen ard place my country
ahead Of all other countries and all
other countries ahead Of China. Be-
cause my home is the Pacific Coast;
and when my turn comes to pass from
This life to another, am ambitious to
leave this fair land unincumbered with
slavery in any form, as an inheritance
for my children and my chlldren's
children throughout all coming ages.
Because Chinese labor is slave labor,
and, when free white labor is forced
into competition with slave labor, is is
degraded, demoralized and at last
driven from the field. Because, when
this is accomplished there will remain
but two classes upon the Pacific Coast,
viz: the employers and the employees.
The employers will be great landed
aristocrats, and the employees will be
the servile Cinnamon. II few other
whites remains their condition will be
about on par with the "Poor whites"
OF the Southern States before the war.
Under such state of affairs it would
be impossible for republican form Of
government to survive. Because, even
now, this competitor has reduced wages
to such an extent that laboring man
can not hope to rear family upon the
proceeds Of his toll And the time is
ripe for every true American to espous e
the cause, and labor zealously for the
complete restoration Of his country to
that condition Of prosperity, peace and
tranquility which can only be attained
by the expulsion Of these unwelcome
invaders.
These and many more reasons may
be urged, all of which you may say,
Mr.. Editor, are purely sectional, per
sonai and selfish. But, there are broad
and national reasons, reasons calculated
to alarm the timid or arouse the mar
tial spirit Of the brave. The great
warriors and statesmen Of our history
as well as the rank and file of their
armies and the toiling developers of the
natural resources of this great country
have sprung from the class which l
represent, and when that class shall be
destroyed, am at loss to know what
is to prevent this great republic from
becoming an easy prey for any third
rate foreign power that may aspire 10
its conquest. have endeavored to pre-
sent the outline OF few ideas and
trust to an intelligent and thinking
public to elaborate them.

POLITICAL NOTES.

See here, Cleveland, the worker wants
no charity, but justice. And when you
say in your letter accepting the "demo-
cratic nomination that "Capital should
be- generous to Labor" you show your
ignorance Of the question at issue.
William llaney's refusal to accept the
nomination of the caucusing Knights has
not improved the chances of the pros
pectivo "lemocratlc" ticket. For while
MIR. lIaney has been an ardent "dcmo.
crat' in the past, he is well known III an
earnest labor reformer now. There are
those among us who know some of his
good qualities and one of them is that
he has back bone.
The Hartford Times says: at is not
certain that Connecticut wants a New
York banker for Governor" No, nor a
Hartford lawyer These two breeds of
culture are not admitted to the Knights
of Labor, and why the Knights of Labor
should vote for either when there is a
candidate in the field who is not only a
member Of the Order, but more. n work

NO PEACE,

"Lct us have peace between Capt.
tai and Labor" is the cry raised by
labor's enemies and those thoughtlcss
people who never consider the exact
relations existing between these two
opposing forces.
Peace? Peace between the hon
and the lamb? Peace between the
robbcr and the robbed? What non
sense it is to talk Of peace when the
least examination Of the case Of labor
versus capital will show that between
them there can, IN their present re-
lati0ns to one another. be no peace.
50 long rs money can say to the man,
900, do my bidding" so long will
there be bitter struggle, but no
peace, hutwccn the two.
Almost countless generations have
borne patiently the burden imposed
by money on man, but the worm has
turned labor means to change places
with capital, and will assume the Of
fcnslye, and capital even now Is ON
the defensive.
Labor is beginning to realize the
fact that it is the maker Of every
thing and us such is determined to
claim, and, if need be, fight for its
| own.
Look along the lines Of the labor
movement and see if there are not
plenty Of indications which point TO
the fact that capital and labor can
never harmonlze more readily than
water and oil. There is an antldotc
for every poison if it be only known,
and labor is discovering that Social
ism is the antldotc for the poison Of
capitalism.
This statement may be challenged
by some, even in the labor ranks, but
thinking men who watch the current

that radical ideas, and the men who
present them, are in the van of the

STANDING by THE PRESIDENT"

The effect of the pending contro.
versy between the President and the
Senate will, in all probability, be to
solidify the Democratic party for gen.
eral campaign service. Upon the ques.
ton of supporting the Administration
against massed attack of the enemy,
the leading Democratic organs are at.
tuned to the same key. A rupture be.
tween the President and his political
friends in Congress could hardly be
cess of the one and the future hopes of
the other, Touching the measure of
Democratic obligation in this crisis, the
Manchester Union, speaking as well
for the party at large as for the party
in New Hampshire, says:
Patriotic Democrats should show to the
country by the most cordial and hearty sup.
port of the Administration that while thCy

what too fresh in permitting himself to be
