they paid an awful penalty for the
sins Of generations Of shortsighted

their own cruelty and wickedness.
Let this. monument of man stand
forever
Should civilization ever revive on
earth let the human race come hither
and look upon this towering shaft
and learn to restrain selfishness and
live righteously. From this CHASTITY
pile let it derive the great lesson,
that no earthly government can en-
dnre which is not built ON mercy,
Justice, truth and love-.
Thank God it is not yet too late
for the great plain people of America
to band themselves together and
avert this abOmination of desola-
ton.
But this universal catastrophe
can only be aborted in one way, and
that is by the producers OF the coun
try banding themselves together
with a firm determination to make
this nation once more in very truth
Washington's republic.
We are now ruled by a plutocratic
oligarchy.
The people must rule before we can
have a government that is truly Of
the people, by the people and for the
people.
Millionaires, lackey lawyers and
bankers must be ousted from politi-
cal control, and this can only be
done by ORIGINATING an Independ-
ent Party, whose essential platform
planks shall be: Government owner
ship OF all railways; Government
money at two per cent per annum
on land and $50 per capita in circu-
lation.
By founding an independent party
you start in the right direction to
make Caesars Column an impossi-
bility and at the same time pave the
way for Bellamv's glOrified republic.

The Dawson Sentinel says regard
ing the sentiment OF the farmers on
the independent movement:
"There can be no doubt about the
sentiment OF the rank and file of the
alliance. They are overwhelmingly
in favor of a full state ticket. Ii the
committee should decide to call a
convention the corner lot farmers
will undoubtedly resort to their old
tactics and attempt to correll the
conventions. Alliance men should
see to it that none but men in
thorough sympathy with the pro-
ducing class receive nominations at
such conventions. Although we are
not certain as to the advisability OF
such a movement, should the Ali

A Forfeit of 1000.

The lumber exchange, at it's special
meeting yesterday, after two hours
of earnest elaboration adopted a
price list for lumber which is practi-
cally an advance OF 81 a thousand
on all grades. The question OF for
fixture in case OF violation, was
brought up by W. L. Bassett, who
stated the views OF the committee to
be in favor OF establishing a penalty
to be impartially butrigidly enforced.
To bring out the sense of the meet
ing he offered a resolution to this
effect which was adopted without
dissent. The chair inquired as to
what the form OF the forfeit was to
be. Mr.. Basset suggested a check
from each member singing the agree
ment, payable to the secretary when
countersigned by arbitration COM
mittee. The method seeming salts
factory, after some discussion the for
felt was fixed at $1,000.
Mr.. Shevlin moved that the chair
appoint a committee of six to draw
up an agreement containing a forfei-
ture clause, and incorporate therein
provision that any member was
privileged to withdraw upon giving
ten days notice to the arbitration
committee. This was carried, and
the chair appointed as such COM
mittee Messrs. Shevlin, Clark, Back
US, Brooks, Glass and Bovey.
The Mortgage Fiend.
The misfortune which has come
upon the farmers of the town OF Ger
mania, causes intense excitement all
over Southern New Jersey. Sheriff
Johnson, OF Atlantic county. has sold
within the last two days 200 farms
to satisfy mortgages which have
been foreclosed One OF the farmers
evicted is Gen. Long. His misfor-
tune made him crazy and on Tues
day night he set fire to his home and
burned it to the ground, perishing
himself in the flames Another far
mer Fred Wersho has barricaded
himself in his house and announces
his intentions to keep possession or
die.
This brings conclusive evidence
that Kansas and Michigan are not
the only sections OF the country that
are cursed with the mortgage sys-
TEN. This goes to prove the asser-
ton advocated by the Alliance pa
pers that the difficulty is not local
but general; not sectional but ma
tional; that the same cause that
brings about evictions in the West,
brings about mortgage foreclosures
in the East; and the same financial
policy which puts the mortgage on
the farms in Kansas, places it on the
farms Of New Jersey. Is it the race
question:. Is it the service pension
bill? Ii it is not, why does congress
idle away it's time instead of making
laws that will give the people relief?

How they Steal in Hotels.
From the New York Star.

From the New ofh star.
The bartender in one of the large
hotels observed that an average of seven
dozen new glasses week were supplied
to his bar.
"But what becomes of the old ones?'
he was asked.
"They disappear" he replied. my
| mate, here, says that the old topers
powder them up and mix them with
their whisky. But the tact is they are
broken, and occasionally stolen"
'Stolen" exclaimed the gentleman
who was receiving this information
"Do you have any people here that
would deign to steel drinking glass ?''
replied the bartender. "They are so
mean than they steal the soap, towels
! and bibles out of the rooms. 1t is
| wonderful the way some people are
built, now isn't it? Why, there's one
old man from Boston who comes over

Blockade on All Western Railroads
-SnSDensic.. nf Travel.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Jan. zU.-Ine snow
blockade in the West and Northwest is
one of the most complete on record.
Not only has travel become an impossi-
bility on the Western Divisions of the
Central and Northern Pacific, but the
telegraph companies are equal sufferers.
and every through wire is down on both
these routes. The only means of tele-
graphic communication with the Pa
cifc Coast now is by the indirect
route of the Southern Pacific, AMI
he volume of business transact
is necessarily limited. WASH
ston and Oregon are shut off
rom communication with the entire
world, with the exception of little zig
gag wire that still ticks feebly between
San Francisco and Oregon. When this
wire goes down these states will be
forther away from New York than
China, SO far as Geographic communlca-
ton is concerned, as the trains are not
running, and the snow blockade rem
ders it impossible for the telegraph
force to reach the scene of the break.

showed up ct half dozen points in the
West, and there is little prospect of re-
newed communication until the rail-
roads have mastered the elements.
The snow blockade on the Central Pa
cite road is at Emigrant Gap, near the
summit of the Sierras. Last night eight
west bound trains were showed in, and
the prospect of the road being open in
the next forty eight hours are poor, as
the snow-ploWs cannot work through
the freezing ice, and the force of shov-
elers is inadequate. There are 1900
men at work, but as the snow is seven
feet deep on the level and fathomless
III the cuts, the work of clearing the
track while the snow falls is tremen-
dous labor.
On the Northern Pacific there is q
complete snow blockade at Sissons, near
the Southern Pacific, who was going
north, has been showed in there for
three DAYS in special train, and hopes
TO get out tomorrow.
The Southern Pacific road has been
badly injured in the Tenachepi Noun
tains by washouts, and beyond Los
Angeles the floods have done much
damage. The onl y unrestricted road
now is the Atlantic Il Pacific, but as this
depends on the Southern Pacific
connections between the Mojava Des-
IT and San Francisco. and on
he washed-out Southern Pacific
line between Los Angeles and
San Francisco, travel on that may alec be
delaye ed at any moment, as it has been
raining heavily in Southern California
for day past, while it is showing IN the
north. The Western Union advices this
morning are that snow is still falling
throughout the West so that the pros
pect is by no means encouraging.
ST.. PAUL, MINI, Jan. 20.-A heavy
storm. accompanied by a gale, set in
about 10 o'clock last night. and regu-
lar blizzard is now raging throughout
the Northwest. AS yet there has been
no interruption of railroad traffic or
Geographic communication, but the
storm is very severe. Between five and
six inches of snow has fallen on the
level, and the prevailing high winds
have drlfted it badly, especially in the
southwestern portion OF the state.

What is regarded as next to a decl-

biization of the French. German, and
the Russian armies would cost 81 coo, 900
and their maintenance in the field

A war of six months duration would
therefore use up. for these three coun-
tries alone, the sum OF 81, 800 ,0OO,O 600.
