TIE SrBsLDY GRLND;

The Dakota editors seem TO think
unanimously that no one is in want In
their great North and South States.
They say that there is plenty to eat, if
one has an appetite for it, in the Great
West. All charges to the contrary are
due to the envy, cupidity and Ignorance
of Chicago editors, who print commu-
nications from hungry farmers (who
have no wheat to sell even at seventy
eight cents per busheD without pre-
viously sending the said communica-
tions to the Transportation and Land
Department of the Northern Pacific
Railroad Company.
This controversy has been going on
for twenty years in the country west Of
the hundredth meridian. 1t is a
trial of strength between farmers
with stomachs and railroad magnates
without bowels. West of that 100th
meridian the subsidized railroads have
sold their lands ten feet deep. They offer
1t for $40 per acre on the strictcst sort
of an installment plan, one dollar per
acre down, then one or two dol,
lars per acre in the following years.
A good crop the first year will enable
the settler to make a second payment.
The railroad company is glad; then
there is bad crop; not even seed is
raised. The railroad furnishes seed for
the next year free, on risk; if that
I fails, the farmer is offered free pas
sage to Omaha, Kansas City or Duluth.
He generally goes, if he is'alive. Then
the selling process begins again and
the whole programme is repeated. 1t
/ is going on now in the Dakotas.
These Organs" are the organs of the
railroad companies, the town-loi
boomers and the agents of mortgage

! will starve and die, other thousands will
not quite starve, some will stick it out
for another year, others will get free
transportation back in the spring. But
the population will not decrease.

N wfndA Up in court.

Wfnds Up In court.
PlrTsBuRe, Pa, Feb, Z. Rev.
Samuel Maxwell, pastor Of Trinity
Episcopal Church, has brought suit for
cumulative damages against the vestry
and church officers Old Trinity is the
leading andmost fashionable Epicopal
congregation In Pittsburg, and Mr..
Maxwell has been its rector for four
/, years past. 80 ..l.,.
During his life John II. Shoenberger,
d the pioneer iron who was
senior warden, gave 1t over 300, 900,
and at his death recently in New York
! City he bequeathed another $i00, 600 to
the congregation on condition that the
seats In the church be made free. For
many years Mr.. Shoenberger had repre-
sentcd the diocese of Pittsburg in the
general convention of the Protestant
Episcopal Church About seven years
ago Mr.. Shoenberger moved to New
York, ,.-y. .4.,ii. ..s.,
i In June last. when the Diocesan Con
ventjon met at Oil City, Rector Max
well found that,serious opposition had
arisen to Mr. Shoenberger's further
electioneas delegate because he had
| left the diocese. Mr.. Maxwell there
| fore declined to present his name.
Henry G. Hale, a Trinity vestryman, did
nominate Mr. Shoenberger, however.
and he was defeated. Since then Rec

Ten Of the thirteen vestrymen now
want him to resign, but he refuses. He
is being. paid $4,000 salary and 5000
parsonage rent At a recent meeting it
was decided that inlismuch as Mr.
Maxwell wouldn't resign the vestry
would no longer paythe parsonage rent.
This, 1t was thought, would freeze
him out, but he comes back at the
vestiy with a suit for all salary which
may come due, house rent, expenses of
moving, etc. The writ Is made return
able February 10.
4 II has also been proposed to bring
formal charges against Mr. Maxwell of

lions. Meanwhile he continues his
labors.. He explains that he favored
the late millionaire senior warden for
delegate as long as il was possible under
the rules of the Church; that he has
fulfilled his contract with the yestry,
and it must do likewise.

u is plain that there is u secret force
behind the deliberations of the Ameri-
can Industrial and Shipping League.
Some weeks before Congress met,
number of influential journals through
out the county and several magazines
published exhaustive approvals Of the
Subsidy bill which Senator Frye is now
nursing. For weeks we have been
confronted at every turn with stock
phrases proving the need of subsidy to
revive our commercial grandeur on the
seas. Asa sort of authoritative stamp
put upon all these specious pleadings,

steamships to be subsidized al ardte

a Gigantic Alliance to Fight For the
Eight-Hour Day.
BosToN, Feb. IA morning paper
states, apparently on the authority of
the leaders of The movement, that there
is to be organized in this country, prior
to the eighthou strikes Of May next,
gigantic labor financial alliance
within the ranks of the American
Federation Of Labor. tits proposed to
accumulate joint stock fund of at
least $280,000 before May 30. to be
placed at the disposal of any trade
whose crafts may be on strike OF locked
out tN
The organization of this alliance is
said to be already well under way, al
though the matter has been keptas Sc
cret as possible. The leaders claim
that labor organizations haze practi-
cally given nothing but sentiment, and
the past is strcwn with innumerable
wrecks of labor associations, whose
members had not learned that an empty
pocket book meant hunger and that
hunger always enabled the employers
to win. There are affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor 750, 900
workers. Allowing that this number
of men average forty working weeks in
year, that would give SO. 900, 900 for a
joint fund by each man paying ten
cents week.
1t is claimed that the insurance of
workmen against loss of wages will in
crease the numerical strength of labor
organizations, and future conventions
| of national unions will represent mil
lions instead of thousands Of workers.
This placing of $4,000. 900 at the dis
posal Of single trade does not mean a
multiplication of strikes, nor, as it is

Il that fewer strikes and lockouis will

THE VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE is to be

of the destitute farmers in Greenyille

money-hardly enough, we should say,
to tide the poor farmers over until the
party in power can give the tariff an
other boost and make them all rich and
comfortable.
