IT SEEMS that the drouth which this
year is more widespread than for several
years. is going to ruin the wheat crop
over large areas in Dakota, where the
farmers were already reduced by previ-
GUS crop failures almost to penury and
starvation. Should the present crop be
destroyed, as now seems probable, there
IS going to be suffering unexampled in
that rotten commonwealth, and thou
sands will abandon it for a more gracious

THE attitude of Republican senators
towards the tariff bill does not differ
much from that occupied by the Repub-
licans in the house. In both the aim is
to legislate without discussion. In the
house a free and fair discussion is not
allowable under the gag rules in force.
In the senate the Republicans have abb
dictated the privilege for themselves,
and retire from the senate chamber in
order to discourage 1t in the Democrats.
Free speech is not the cardinal virtue it
once was with Republicans.

An English Syndicate Wants to Cut Down
Their Free Beer.

An English Syndicate Wants to Cut Down
Their Free Beer.
The British lion is curling his name
and showing his teeth to the double
headed eagle of the German empire, and
it would not be matter Of much sur
prise if war-real war-was declared be-
tween the two great powers. The arena
will be Indianapolis. The breweries Of
this city are owned by the blarsted Brit
ishers, though the former owners are
acting as managers. The majority of
the men employed are Germans and
free beer has been the rule for years. The
workmen could drink all the foaming
they wished. At some of the breweries
regular bar was established and bar
tender handed out the drinks to the
thirsty, but no limit was placed on the
number Of drinks to be handed out.
But change has been made. The
British owners have decreed that on and
after July the workmen can have but
five glasses of free beer a day This or
der has caused great dissatisfaction and
when the issuing Of the beer checks be-
gins it is intimated that there will be
revolt if the rule is enforced There are
men working in the breweries who think
nothing Of drinking $50 glasses of beer
day and fifty glasses is q common aver
age. These men are skilled beer max
ers as well as expert beer drinkers, who
receive good pay, and to release them
might cause embarrassment.
The men are saying little at this time;
they are waiting to see if the order
"goes," and then they propose to quit.
There is considerable feeling over the
n after, many of the workmen insisting
that they cannot do their work and
quench their thirst with only five schoon-
ers day 1t is generally believed that
the managers will not attempt to enforce
the order.
How would it do to reduce from $50
to 149 glasses daily for the first week?
Too sudden change just nowin this
heated zone might wreck man. Again,
if beer is worth five cents a glass, how
valuable must be the services of these
men who drink $3.50 worth of beer
day and get pay besides. indianapolis

The Lincoln Red Ribbon club, the
largest moral suasion club in the United
States, having membership of $4,000,
at it's large Sunday afternoon meeting
recently unanimously adopted the fol-
lowing preamble and resolution by ris-
ing vote:
Whereas, The anti-Prohibitionists of
this state are parading Francis Murphy
as the representative of true temperance,
because he is in favor of high license;
and
Whereas, The said Francis Murphy is
being advertised as the friend of tenn
perance and morality, though Endorsed
by Peter E. Her and Edward Rosewater;
therefore
Resolved, That in the midst of such a
crisis as the present battle between the
homes of Nebraska and the high license
drunkard makers of the nation, this or
ganization, known as the Red Ribbon
club of Lincoln, Nebraska, repudiates
any so called temperance worker or gos-
pei reviyalist who refuses to lift his voice
for Prohibition Of the infamous liquor
traffic, we believe our people should re-
fuse to encourage or support any man OF
class of men who seek to do the devils
work under the cloak of religion.

fire will not burn bright and clear with
out more help, SO we send this to make 1T
burn Now, brothers, what we want to
say is this. We have this great rogue,
this Firewater; he gets folks money;
sometimes he burns houses, sometimes
he kill people, sometimes he make fam
ily very poor, sometimes he take away
senses, sometimes he make 'em very
cross and ragged and dirty, and some
times he freeze 'em to death. Now we
hear our brothers trying to stop it; they
try to stop it, they try talk about
it, see if can stop it little, but
he won't stop it, We hear at last
our brothers won't bear it no longer, SO
they make law to knock him on the
head anywhere they find him, in barrel,
or jug, or bottle, in tavern, or grocery,
or barn, anywhere-Rnock him on the
head. Now, we want to tell you, brothers,
that this big rogue has been here in On.
ondaga, he has made us great trouble.
Some of our people would be very glad
and very good if this bad fellow would
keep away. We try, our people try some.
but he will not. Now what we ask you
is to make us law, such as our brothers
in the state of Maine have made. We
have try coax him, but he won't be coax;
we try scare, he won't scare much; he
still make great deal trouble: we think
better make law to knock him on head
then he make us no more trouble. We
Christian party ask it-and Pagan, too,
most of all ask it. Now, brothers, our
people sold our land to white people, and
white people he make treaty. He say
he be good to Indian. But he let this
rogue trouble us most too. Now, broth
ers, we was one great people, and we
have gone to war for our white brothers,
but now we are few and our white BROTH
ers are strong We want you to help us,
we want YOU to make this law, so when
we find this rogue we will keep him.
We see him great many times, but we
mean to be good and peaceable, and so
he got away; but if YOU make this law
then we kill him, and then we live
happy and friendly; no more cross, no
more ragged, no more fight. but raise
corn, wheat oats. beans. cattle. horses
and some children. too; no more get
drunk. no more freeze to death; work
and get good things like white men.

John g. Richardson, of Bessbrook, Ire

The Circumlocution Congress.

The CircumlOcutiOn Congress-.
This congress was to be the model
for all future sessions. Its business
was to be dispatched with unprece-
denied CELEBRITY, and all the measures
were to fulfill the pledges of the par
ty to the people. Having for the first
time for years the entire control of
the legislative, executive and judicial
departments Of national government,
there was strong hope in the minds
of the people that something of real
relief would be accomplished. How
has the pledge and the promise been
kept?
The session is now well advanced
in the eighth month since its convo-
cation. its progress has been acceler-
a,ed by extraordinary and almost
revolutionary measures, and yet so
far not single measure of general
importance has been enacted. There
has existed thimble-r,g arrange
ment between the two houses, worthy
of brace of tin-horn gamblers in
skin game with tenderfeet. The peo-
pie have looked an and been duped.
The service pension bill was passed in
one body, and killed in the other.
The silver bill was adopted by The
senate and will be emasculated III the
house. The tariff bill was passed in
the house, and will be so changed in
the senate that Mckinley himself will
fail to recognize it, for which small
favor may the Lord make us thankful
The bill permitting states to govern
their own institutions in their own
way, and to prevent foreign law
breakers from overriding their laws
was passed in the senate, and has
been practically laid aside indefinitely
in the house. The bill framed to pre-
vent election Outrages has passed the
house and will be sidetracked in the
senate. And this is the way in which
the representatives of the great Re-
publican party keep its pledges to
the people.
1t is time for each state to review
with the keenest scrutiny the record
of each member of its delegation, and
without fear OF favor withdraw each
one who has faltered in his duty, or
is powerless to carry it into effect. In
MANY instances it will be best to re-
form the delega ton altogether OF
one fact we may be all assured. The
next House of Representatives will
not have the opportunity to enact Re-
publican me assures which this session
has enjoyed. There will be a change
in the spirit of the dream. The peo-
pie will not longer brook the treachery.

The following item from the Amer
lean Banker of the 2Sth ult., illus
trates the total unreliability of Uuited
States Treasury figures as to The
amount of money in the country:
"To determine more exactly the
amount Of gold held in the country
the Treasury department some time
ago sent out inquiries to private and
State banks as TO the size of their
stocks of the metal. Some 6,693, or
all but about TAI of these banks, have
been heard from, and report a total
amount of about 100000 of gold
in their possession. There is s313,-
667, 895 of gold coin and bullion in
Los Angeles herald., 1890-05-26

business property could join hands with
numerous and united hill population
and keep the matter in the courts while
councils came and went. Not only
would the cost be excessive, but, so far
as the district east of Hill street is con-
cerned, it would be money worse than
thrown away. The l in 20 grade
would deprive of the use of First street
a population more numerous than that
which would ordinarily travel over it.
The enormous noise raised by a small
number of people in the west part of
the city has led many to believe that
there was an immense population ready
to swarm through the long cuts and
tunnel and fill First street at Broadway
from curb to curb from daylight till dark
careful analysis of the vote
cast at the last general election shows
that within the district embraced by
Temple, Olive, Fifth and Pearl streets,
there were cast more votes than in the
district bounded by Temple, Pearl and
Sixth streets and the western boundary
OF the city. In other words, the owners
of property in the business part of town
are asked to drive travel away from
themselves, and pay for the privilege of
doing so.
The 1 in 20 grade has with great
gravity been heralded as the COM
promise grade. The white man who re-
tained the turkey made similar COM
promise with the Indian. If every in
tersecting street is to be cut off, the
grade might as we'll be fixed at a dead
level, so far as the dwellers on the hills
are concerned. The in 20 grade was
submitted to the commission of en-
gineers appointed by the council and
failed to secure it's approval. Appar
emily despairing of finding commits
sion which would relieve it of the re-
sponsibility of such an outrage, the
board of public works has disregarded
the recommendation of the commission,
and without rhyme or reason reported
in favor OF measure calculated to de-
preclate more property than it could
possibly benefit and to indefinitely de-
lay the opening of needed thorough
fare.
Another serious objection to the l in
20 grade would be the proposed tunnel
500 feet long and 80 feet wide. 1t would
be avoided by travel and would cause a
continued expense to the city for light
ing and repairs.
In view Of these facts, the people
whose homes and interests are attacked,
appeal to the public and the city officials
carefully consider the foregoing.
