This Is proof positive, anda clear demon
stration, in 19i8, what this system could ac-
complish when a necessity existed for resort
ing to It. But since that time every con-
ceivable change has tendedtoward rendering
such system easier managed and more
necessary. The various means Of rapid
transportation and the facilities for the in
Simultaneous transmission Of intelligence,
make II no disadvantage for the produce Of
a country TO be stored at home until de-
manded for consumption, and the great
savings that will follow the abolition Of To-
cal shipments shows what great economy
such o system is, In this day and time, no
one will for moment deny that all the con-
ditions for purchase and sale will attach TO
the Government certificates showing amonnt,
quality and running charges that attach to
the product.
The arguments sustaining this system will
present themselves to your minds as you
ponder over the subject. The one fact
stands out in bold relief, prominent, grand,
and worthy the best effort of our hearts and
hands, and that is ''this system will emanoi-
pate productive labor from the power of
money to oppress' with speed and certainty.
Could any object be more worthyp Surely
not; and none could be devised that would
more enlist your sympathies
Our forefathers fought in the revolution
ary war, making sacrifices that will forever
their names in history, to eman-
cipate productive labor from the power of a
monarch TO oppress. Their battle cry was
'1iberty." Our monarch is false, unjust,
and statutory power given to money which
calls for conflict on our part to emancipate
productive labor from the power Of money
to oppress. Let the watChword again be,

Mrs. Annie L. Diggs, who presides over
the alliance department Of the Lawrence
Journal, Is doing some efficient work for
the order. We commend the following
from her pen as and indication that all
the good sense that Is finding expression
In these latter days, does not emanate from
the masculine brain.
"We have been asked to suggest to al
llances courses Of reading or subjects for
discussion. We suggest the following;
Resolved, That we are opposed TO the
passage Of the bill offered by Mr.. Kelley,
Of Kansas, approprlating 100000 for the
erection of a monument to negro soldiers
and sailors Of the late war.
II Is high up among the probabilities
that the colored Farmers Alliance, which
has large membership, would appreciate
a 100000 appropriation to erect cotton
warehouses, to advance the interest Of the
struggling, toiling, living soldiers, who
are lighting the battle for bread, far more
than any senseless, demagogical pile of
stone or bronze to show how much better
the nation loves dead negroes than live
ones.
The whole monument appropriation
business Is an extravagant fraud. Con-
gressmen who will be noislest In their
opposition TO government appropriation to
build elevators, TO store the farmers pro-
duce until living prices can be gotten for
It, will be the very ones TO grow eloquent
over the encouragement Of art and the
commemoration of the services Of dis
tinguished dead men, by squandering the
peoples surplus money by the hundreds
Of thousands to erect monuments.
The grain crop Of Kansas is good this
year, but the monument appropriation
crop is thus far only an average. Up to
date there are but four bills before con-
gress. Major-General John Stark isto be
commemorated to the tune Of many thou
sands out of the United States treasury.
OF course If there is anything that the
country is just suffering for, it is more
monuments to our revolutionary heroes.
II the farmer can not to save his life
stretch the proceeds Of his 10 cent corn to
cover his taxes, his mortgage interest and
his grocery bill, so that he can take home
new dress for his wife; he can at least
take home to her the cheering and sus-
tanning news that Gen. John Stark is to
have new monument.
II the glorihed spirit Of Gen. Stark is
permitted to look in upon certain trans
actions Of this nation to day, it is question
able IL he views them with patriotic pride.
We can easily fancy that his ghost would
like to nudge the little congressman and
whisper, "never mind, my boy, l have
been interested in my musical practice on
my golden harp for nearly century and
my mind is rather drawn away from de-
sire for monument, and It's my opinion

bulletin is that the prostraton contin-

at intervals. Crowds throng the streets
and surround the royal palace waiting
for bulletins. There is censorship of
kilograms, and many hundreds have
been stopped. None are allowed to
pass but those that give the
short official bulletins. This is
done to prevent a panic in the pro-
VinceS. The effect has been to greatly
increase the public anxiety, and give
rise to many rumOrS that the king is
dead. The government has telegraphed
to all provincial and colonial author-
ties TO exercise great vigilance in re-
gard to possible Republican movements,
and to repreSS them promptly. There
are many and various opinions in regard

In the town of Wilmington, between

Ter, who, for years, has been preparing
for one of the most sumptuous burials
that the world has ever known.
1t has been said, and is generally be-

baskets, sorcophagi and robes for her

the black angel of death, shall give up
his keys to Gabriel, the bright angel of

Take $4,000 and multiply it by ten,
call the sum 4 round half million of dol
lars, and that will just about cover the
amount which Mrs. Hitler will have
paid out when all the splendid mortuary

are done and placed according to the
plan she is now following so persis-
tently.
Born to a good inheritance, and mar

A big, square, two-story yellow house
stands among ample grounds just off
the main street of Wilmington, and
only few rods away from the railroad
station on the. lowell road. On two
sides of the house are broad piazzas, and
all around in front and rear and at
the sides are well-kept lawns and
orchards and shrubbery. A little to the
rear of the house is tall windmill,
with great, lazy, Tapping arms, and
this is large carriagehouse and stable,
containing quarters for the coachman
and other HEP. From these a grayeled
driveway leads among orchards for
nearly quarter of mile, when the
Wis tor drives to the large cranberry
tracts. Here in the midst of the acres
of cranberries rises the big cranberry
house, as large as. a barn, and in
workshop of this house for the past
four years have Sculptor McGregor and
his assistants been carving those world
known Baskets and sarcophagi.
