Even the school children in Boston
sometimes make slips. One was giving
an account of the first Inauguration,
and said: 'sThe path of office
was administered to President Washing
ton on the balcony of Federal hall
by Robert Livinston, chanticleer of the
state of New York - The other, asked
about the battle of Lexington, said that
''Minute men were men who wanted

manner that the line of demarkation is
not peTceptible.
] T. Trowbridge whose stories for boys
have made him famous, was born in 1927
in Western New York. He Taught him
self Latin, French and German. He
writes at the present time almost wholly
for the Youth s Companion and makes a
handsome income. He is q tall, fresh
looking man, with very pleasant face.
His hair is white, but otherwise he does
not show his years. He has never cared
for society and lives in retirement in BOs-
ton. He has tase for speculation, but
has never INDUCED it to any great eX-
tent.
an extraordinary religious fraud is re-
ported from Croatia. The whole popula-
ton was wrought up to q great pitch of
excitement by an announcement that the
Virgin had appeared in q forest. A
shrine was built at once of boughs and
branches and IN its center hole was dug
into the ground, looking into which the
Holy Virgin was said to be visible to all
true believers, who forthwith laid down
their offerings round the sacred spot.
Some unbelieVing Thomases, who main
tanned that they saw absolutely nothing
in the black hole, were maltrea ted
by the fanatic multitude as evil-dOers;
one man was killed, another had his
leg broken and many went home with
bleeding faces and sore backs. On some
days crowd of 10 900 human beings
knelt in the forest and left its offerings,
which promptly disappeared. But the
day of reckoning came. Five peasants
and peasant woman, the latter in the
act of sending up the Holy Spirit In
the form of a turtle dove, were arrested
for putting the play on the scene, and
have already confessed that for two
years past they have been making prep
arations for this swindle.

From the Southern Mercury
The following from the published
proceedings Of the Texas State ALI
ance contains solid food for reelection
for the people Of this and every
other state in the Union;
The committee on industrial de-
pvession made the following report

papers friendly are requested to copy
same:
TO the President, Officers and Mem
bers of tho Farmers Alliance OF
Texas:
1--WE have made inquiry as far rs
we have been able, into the general
condition Of the working people The
questions that we have kept steadily
in view are: Do those who labor and
produce receive a just portion OF the
profits or surplus wealth they create2
Has the vast increase of productive
power, which is the result of advance
ment in science and the multiplied
ton of inventions to lessen labor and
increase production, and to facilitate
and cheaper transportation and the
transmission Of intelligence, resulted
in corresponding benefit to the pro-
ducer, by giving him better opportu-
mites in life to enjoy its comforts and
improve his financial condition.
We find the answer to these queries
in the present conditions everywhere
apparent throughout the length and
breadth ofour country. The extremes
of wealth and poverty are becoming
more marked.
Organized charitable institutions IN
thelarge cities confess they are utter
ly unable to relieve the rapidly In
creasing mass Of pauperism, while the
cry of starving men, women and chill
dren comes from mining valleys and
towns.
OstentatiOus, vulgar wealth on the
one hand and squalid, disgusting
poverty on the other; the unfailing
characteristics of decaying civilization
meet us on every side.

still held, have been squandercd IN
different ways, with little thought OF
the public good and less Of tho pres
ent and prospective needs OF landicss
labor The result is that millions OF
workers are now homeless, tho helpless
dependents upon precarious daily
wages, while land monopoly, founded
and fostered by national legislation
has assumed serious and mcrcenary
proportions. Alien landlords already
own large areas Of American soil and
are increasing the extent Of their do
mains, day by day, through purchase
or mortgage foreclosure. Our Amer
lean sovereignty is thus fast finding
into n vassalage TO alien landlords
and foreign money,lenders, while our
toiling producers look on with ox-eycd
meelness or fatal apathy. Indeed
some Of them seem to rejoice at their
passage into the service of foreign
masters. and point with pride to every
sale Of our life-sustaining natural re-
sources to foreigners as an indication
of our prosperity. They fail to see
that they and their offspring pass
with those natural resources into for
eign ownership and control.
Those who own the land will rule

other has said moro forcibly that

producers and debtors have for years
protested against this cruel injustice
of class logislatian and asked for re-
lief, but in vain; the spirit OF shylock
was at the helm and relentless.
Themoney in circulation has been
kept Mt a minimum, usury at a maxi
mum and humanity sacrificed to mo-
nopoly In tho purposely created
money famine and consequent low
prices the country has been mortgaged
and, to a large extent, sold outrightto
home and foreign monopolists. The
means by which this monopoly has
been secured to u class and all that
misery to the man suggests the reme-
dies Equal opportunities, as far as
possible, must be secured to every in
dividual; efficient measures must be
taken to prevent land monopoly and
every means available used to secure
TO the workers access TO the natural
resources.
A medium Of exchange must be pre-
vided that will effect the exchange OF
products at cost, instead OF, as atpres-
ent, confscating large part OF their
value through usury.
The public highways must be con
trolled and used so that the transpor-
tation may be effected at equitable
rates, approximating as nearly a'
practicable to actual cost. II this
cannot be secured under private own
ership of those highways then it mus
be secured under public control.
Private corporations should not b.
any longer permitted to levy arbitra
ry tolls Oh labor, industry and enter
prise.
1t is unnecessary here to enter int
details as to practical measures to Sc
cure those much needed reforms

1t is moro than twenty centuries
since Aristotle said, 'Itis almost an

lAloH''"''"- 40 y,nuency OF democracieH
to merge into plutocracies." This ten
dency in our government is too pain
fully plain.
IL is the mission Of organized labor
to arrest this tendency and mako our
republic q really representative one
in which the people will make laws
for the equal protection and benefit
Of all, instead of wealth debating them
in the interest Of monopoly as at pres
ent.
Wewarn tho laboring people against
the baneful influence OF demagogues
and blighting effects Of blind part-
san prejudice. We desire to empha-
size the recommendation to the peo-
pie Of tho Alliance to study economic
questions, for thisis the great object
Of our order as set forth in the first
clause Of the declaration OF purposes
of tho Farmers Allisnce-'To labor
for the education Of the agricultural
classes, in the science OF economical
government, ina strictly non-parti-
san spirit" Cast your suffrage for
those who are in sympathy with yOui
beware Of those whose inatinotr end
inclinations are in antagonism to the
vital interests Of labor.
In conclusion let it be remembered
that wo cannot expect to obtain or
maintain equal justice until we have q
real representative government. We
cannot have a real representative
government until the voters are inde-
pendent thinkers, who study and un-
derstand the practical, economic and
political questions as they exist or
may arise for solution or settlement.
It is impossible to have repreeenta-
tive government or to secure substah-
tial justice while masses OF voters are
the mere echo or puppets Of others.

Abody of men, although they seemed
