WHO SHOULD BE IN THE PENITENTIARY
From the Teachers Outlook we
CLEAN the following facts. Among the
contributions to the sufferers from the
Johnstown food wab a considerable
sum from the prisoners in the Eastern
penitentiary of Pennsylvania The
Teachers Outlook says:
These men made their mites by working extra
time for half convict wages. The greatest
amount made was 81 per week; 54G prisoners
gave S5l2,oG One old man wanted TO give all he
had, SIS; but the limit allowed by the warden
was 50, so he sent the balance TO his friends out
side for them TO give.
Contrast the above with the follow
ing:
According TO the NCiC York Mda and Erprcss
the Cambria Iron Company, Of JOhnstOwn, which
owed It's workmen six weeks wages at the time
Of the flood, is stlll Withholding their pay al

THE PURPOSES OF THE FARMERS AL.
LANCE.

THE PURPOSES OF THE FARMERS AL
LANCE.
In Kansas; according to ultra re-
publican journals, the Farmers ALI
ance is a scheme to defeat the repub-
lican party and turn the country over
the demncrats. In Georgia, accord
ing to the Atlanta Consultation, It is
scheme TO defeat the democratic
party, and turn the country over to
the republicans. Down in that coun-
try they don't seem to take much
stock in the democracy Of our nation
al president, although in Kansas it is
considered of very dangerous char
acter.
Our opinion is that the kind Of
democracy Of which he is true ex-
ponent is rery dangerous TO both Of
the old parties, and their common ap-
prehension of this danger is not alto
gether unwarranted. The only mis-
take they make is in regarding the
success Of the one ns n necessary con
sequence Of the defeat of the other.
The assurance Of the lords OF Wall
street that "they have arranged the
program Of both parties, and are
willing the people should ex-
ercise their choice Of men,"
is rather in the nature Of a discour-
agement to a change Of this kind,
The people are beginning to feel like
asking for change Of programs as the
most important change now deemed
necessary, and in order to secure that
they are under the necessity Of repu-
dating both parties whose program
has already been arranged in dupli-
plicate to SUIT the convenience and
political methods Of the two seeming
ly contending parties so generously
provided for by Wall street. You
may as we'll faco the facts, gentlemen,
and combine your forces. It is plu-
tocracy against the people, and all
the sham and political chiCanery for
which your long experience and OK
tensive practice 50 well qualities you,
will not avail to disguise this fact.

Quite naturally we adjourned to the
hotel cafe, where the best American sub.
stitute for Russia's national drink was
ordered up. Meanwhile the Baron kept
a tight grip on the collar of his dog, and
when we sat down snapped a stout chain
into the collar ring and wound the free
end of it around his wrist, leaving lust
enough slack to permit the brute TO lie
at his side. The animal was muzzled
with heavy leather muzzle. The head

of the fire was the destruction of everything

audience chamber was also fired but aside
from the burning of portions of it no damage
was done
On a recent Sunday the early discovery of
smoke issuing through the floor of the Uni

congregation from n panic and the building
from destruction. The same evening an at
tempt was made to fire the basement of the
Church of God while services were i'm pro
gress, and the incendiary narrowly escaped
capture. Among the papers used were sew

Shortly after the discovery Of the fire in the
Church of God a man tried 10 get into the
lecture room of the Lutheran Church. The
sexton hearing him working at the lock OF
the outside door proposed to admit him, but
by the time he reached the door the felcw
had disappeared. The next day lamp miss
