Iudlcting the Old Parties.

The following extract is from a speech
delivered at Purcellyille, Loudon county,
Va, by NJ. V. Bennett, the "Kansas
Cyclone" Are these changes and the
Cyclone s" reasoning true?
"What are the facts of the democrat and
republican parties? A desecrated Sabbath,
debauched manhood, a corrupt civil SER
vice, purchasable vote, robbery by the
monopolists and trusts at one end AMI ly
the legalzed dram shop at the other, and
bad government continually.
"And yet am safe in asserting that a
majority in all political organizations are
honest and temperate and are in favor of
good government.
~ also venture to assert that a majority
of all parties could, if they would unite,
secure good government.
"While these two assertions are absolute
ly true, third truth confronts US, and that
is, neither the democrat nor republican
parties can secure union of the honest men
Of al. parties in either party, hence without
this union the Two old parties must continne
10 rule alternately and bad government
must result.
"a fourth truism now presents itself and
that is, while neither of the old parties can
secure this union iE itself, the best men Of
all parties can unite in party that stands
for pure government and is free from the
prejudices and hatred that causes division
on the present alignment as democratic and
republican.
This being true it devolves on all Chris
tians and good citizens 10 unite in such a
party. The democrat party claims to be

McKinley,s Gracious Act.

ST yield the gentleman from Pennsyl-
vania fifteen minutes of my time"
Itwas one of the most dramatic scenes
ever enacted in the House of Repre-
sentatives. Tho sick, feeble and fail
ing gentleman from Pennsylvania, re-
spected and honored by all men of
both parties, Hon. Sam j. Randall, was
asking fifteen minutes extension of his
time, in order that he might deliver the
concluding portioz of his tariff speech,
which was aga;R,t tho policy of his
party. Mr.. Mills, of Texas, the leader
of his party, hurried down the aisle and
shouted, 81 object" and that one obiec-
ton prevented the Unanimous consent"
which was asked by Mr.. Randall. The
eX-speaker did not turn his head to look
at the objector, nor appeal for consider
alton at his hands; but quietly sank into
his seat, humiliated, but uncomplain-
ing. Tho next speaker on the list for
that day was Hon. William Mckinley,
of Ohio. He Immediately arose, and
said in clear ringing voice: ''Mr.
Speaker, yield to the gentleman from
Pennsylvania, fif zen minutes of my
time" Immediately there broke forth
storm of applause from all over the
House, both on the floor and in tho gal
leries. 1t was one Of tho most gracious
deeds of McKinley's life. Mr.. Randall

such a party but fails to convince the peo-
pie that its claim is well founded. The
republican party lays claim to the same
honor ard even parades itself as the only
party that ever did any thing for temper
ance and sobriety, but the people do not
believe it. Every body believes the Prohi-
bition party, if it were in power, would
prohibit the manufacture and sale Of alco-
holic beverages. The republican party
believes this, the democrat party believes
this, the Christian organizations believe
this, the w. G. L. U. organization belieyes
this, the distillers and brewers believe this,
the saloon keepers and gamblers believe
this. If the Prohibition party would
destroy the saloon, and all are agreed that
it would, then there is such party already
organized that can do more for good gov
ernment than either the democrat or repub-
lican party, and good men can unite in it
and find place free from prejudice and
hatred that cause the disunion of the people
along the line of democratic and republi-
canism.

they do the saloons, and who want 10 see the

RECKLESS COAL BARONS.
They Do Not Take Trouble to Preserve
Miners Lives.

They Do Not Take Trouble to Preserve
Miners Lives.
It is at once reproach to the corpora
ton and an evidence of the desperate
needs of the millions who toll that every
man engaged in mining feels that he
takes his life in his hand when he en-
barks in the business for his daily bread.
Indeed, when the conditions of mining
and the bestowal of the miner arc exam
ined, it fairly looks as if improvidence
and recklessness were deliberately in
culcated upon the masses dedicated to
the garnering of treasures of the earth.
The hamlets housing the miner and his
family are capriciously set in narrow
gorges, which serve as waterways in
seasons of flood, or If not In these death
traps upon the thin crust or surface cov-
ering actual or arched out excavations.
Entire cities, like Scranton, Pittston,
Wi1kesbarre, are built upon thin crusts
of rock and soil. When, as often hap
pens, single houses, whole streets cave
in there is little ado made over it. Life
is lost, property destroyed; there are no
words of reproach in the local press,
no awakening Of the great corporations
to set about new order of things. A
mere glimpse at the fabrication and con-
struction of the mountain railways, the
hillside breakers, the subterranean gal
leries impresses this upon the observer.
Everything is put together for the single
object of producing the coal at as small
q cost as possible. Little or nothing
seems to be done to make the mining Of
it secure, the lives Of the toilers easier.
The ingenuities Of science adapted to
speedy results are we'll paid for by the
coal men; but, save in rare cases, there
is no spur for those who seek to make
life secure for the toilers in the shafts.
Fire damps, flooded galleries, crumbling
supports are manifestly regarded as
major forces of nature that the cunning
of man is incapable Of contending with.
And yet for more than thousand years
the salt mines of Bavaria have been
worked farther into the bowels of the
earth than any shafts known in this
country, and the records show no acci-
dent involving human life. This, how
ever, is not due so much to the more
active philanthropy Of the owners as to
the precision of the laws and their zeal
Gus enforcement.
There are laws for the security Of
miners lives in Pennsylvania, but they
are little regarded. The men whose
safety and comfort depend upon their
enforcement are naturally the least able
to get them applied. It might naturally
be supposed that under condition Of
things where the operators find it for
their interest to cease mining three or
four months every year the idle hands
might be humanely employed in secur-
ing the shafts against such slaughters,-

Eight Hours in Australia.

Some say that the universal establish
ment of the eight hours working day
would reduce the volume Of production,
and others say it should be esta blished
by legislation. Neither set will find any
support in records of the experience of
the Australasian colonies, where the
eight hours day prevails generally. IT
was established there by trades union
agitation, resulting in voluntary agree
ment between masters and employees,
and the Australians, far from having
been impoverished by it, are far the
wealthiest people in the world. Sir
Charles Dixie describes the artisans of
Victoria and New South Wales as gen.
orally well-to-do property owners, whose
wives employ household servants and
have plenty of leisure for intellectual
improvement.
Connected with most of the factories
there are not only excellent bands Of
music, "but debating societies, admira-
bly, managed, and concerts of good mu-
sic given by the men in evening dress"
The citizens of Victoria have had the
short day ever since 1855, when the stone
masons started the agitation, found
themselves joined promptly by allied
trades and won along the whole line
after only twelve days struggle. New
South Wales soon followed suit, and all
the Australian colonies, including those
of New Zealand, have enjoyed the boon
for years. Experience declares for its
continuance so conclusively that Cana
dians without distinction of class may
well think it safe to join in initiating the
social reform. Globe.

LESSONS TO LEARN BY HEART
LINcoLN's PROPHECY.

Abraham Lincoln early in 1865 wrote 10
a friend these prophetic words:
GAS result OF the war corporations have
been enthroued and an era of corruption in
high prices will follow and the money (cor-
porations of the country will endeavor to
prolong its reign by endeavoring to work
upon the prejudices of the people, until all
wealth is aggregated in few hands and the
republic destroyed. | feel at this moment
more anxious for the safety of my country
than ever before, even in the midst of war.
God grant that my suspicious may proye
groundless."
THE HAZARD CIRCULAR.
In 1862 an agent of European capitalists
sent the following confidential" circular
to American bankers:
"Slavery is likely TO be abolished by the
war power and chattel slavery destroyed.
This, l and my European friends are in
favor of, for slavery is but the owning of
labor, and carries with it the care of the
laborer; while the European plan, led on
by England, is capital control of labor, by
controlling wages. This can be done by
controlling the money. The great debt that
capitalists will see to it is made out of the
war, must be used as measure to control
the volume of money. To accomplish this
the bonds must be used as banking basis.
We are now waiting to get the secretary Of
the treasury TO make this recommendation
to congress. 1t will not do to allow the
'preenback , as il is called to circulate as
money any length of time, for we cannot
control them. But we can control the
bonds, and through them the bank ISSUE"

Sensational Divorce Suit.

The divorce case of DR.. G. NJ. Elan,
nigan, the resident physician of st. Pc.
ter's hospital and practicing physician
in this city, and his wife, is attracting
considerable attention. Mrs., Flanni.
gan, who is living in Seattle since they
parted, came TO the city during the
doctors absence in Spokane Falls, and
through her attorneys made oath in
the superior court here that her maid
en- name was Jennie De Hofe, and
that she and the doctor intermarried
at the city of Minneapolis on the 9Th
of February, 1888, and have ever
ever since been husband and wife. She
charges that DR.. Flanagan without
cause or provocation struck her vio-
lent and painful blow with his clench-
ell fist on the 29th, of October 1888.
in this city that in the spring of 1889
he again struck her violent and
painful blow with his clenched fist and
inflicted upon her serious and perma-
nent injuries; that on the 18th of last
March, without cause or provocation
and in most brutal aud violent man
ner, he choked her, she being i'll and
unable TO offer but a slight resistance,
and that he elected her from the house
in which they were then living, forbid
her from entering it again, and threat
ened to kill her: that on the 18th of
last March and at divers other times
without cause he used profane and
obscene language toward her and ap-
piled abusive and obscene epithets.
Mrs. Flanagan charges that in con-
sequence of these acts Of cruelty she
has suffered great pain and distress of
body and mind, and her life made bur-
densome. She charges that the
doctor has been receiving during their
married life from 5000 to $500 per
year from his practice, is now receiv-
ing 81 900 per year, that he has per-
sonal property consisting of surgical
and scientific instruments, Office furn-
iture and books to the value of at
least $4,000; that she is unable to live
with him in happiness, and that the
doctor is about to leave this state, has
already sold all their furniture and
hOuSehOld goods, converted into cash
and appropriated it to his own use,
and she believe he.intends to go away
from Washington and either take his
personal property with him or sell the
same and take the proceeds.
Mrs. Flanagan prays that an in
junction be granted enjoining the
doctor from disposing of his property
or encumbering it in any way until
the bonds of matrimony are dissolved
between them, and that he be COM
PEELED to maintain her until the court
may award her reasonable share and
proportion of the property. Mrs.
Flanagan also asks to resume her
maiden name, and that she recover
her costs and disbursements of the
suit.-Olympia Tribune.
