THE BEGINNING OF LIE END.

NE bEdlNNlNN w IHE Emu
written for The AdyOcate)
The Kansas City Globe, not long since,
in an article under the caption "What is
the Remedy" uses the following Ian
guage:
"The Chicago Herald declares that II Is not a
better price for products that win bring relief TO
the farmer, butOwer prices for articles he has TO
buy. ThisissO plainly ialacy thatno argument
Is necessary 10 Teluteit, With corn NJ the pres
ent prices, goods cannot be purchased at any
price by the farmers, and while decrease In val
ues Of the necessaries Of life would Of course aid
the farmer TO some extent yet as long as II costs
MI a bushel Of corn Is worth In the market TO
transport IT, no relief can be hoped for until the
producer can realize better prices for farm pro-
ducts"
''The exports have fallen off steadily for several
years and there will probably be not TO exceed
one-half the corn exported this year that there
asfve or six years ago. II seems 10 be certain
that but little II anyrellei may be hoped for from
foreign markets, and as THE HOME MARKET rs
GLuTTED there Is small prospect for any mate
rial advance In prices.
The suggestion Of remedy for this Is and
should be Che aim Of every man OF the country.
II Is not political question, and there Is no the
Ory OF political economy that can be practically
applied that will bring relief. So far no one has
claimed 10 be able 10 advance any idea or theory
for the relief Of the producer. And as long as
prices remain as they are depression will con-
tnue In every department of business"
1t is my purpose in this article to ad-
vance some ideas as to the cause Of the
present grievous depression Of the indus
tries Of this nation, and to give my reasons
for believing that the only remedy to be
found lies in the direction of establishing
an entirely new dispensation or social
economic system.
The first matter to be considered is the
claim that the present deplorable condi-
ton of the agricultural class is caused by
"overproduction" or a Surplus" Of food
products. In general way, the answer
TO this claim is that there can not be any
real surplus Of food products, so long as
men are unsuccessfully seeking work and
thousands Of them becoming tramps and
vagabonds, while women and children are
crying for bread. There may be an dp-
parent surplus and food products may
command ruinously low prices, but the
trouble lies in the inability Of those OF
our own people who need food, to buy It,
and not in the superabundant supply Of
food. SO long as thousands of men,
women and children are starving for food,
we need not go abroad to find purchasers
for our bread and meat. Mr.. Mills gives
expression TO familiar truth, when he
says that Labor "is the producing cause
OF all wealth." Adam Smith clearly
enunciates that principle, and all writer's
upon political economy reassert Its cor
rectness. But when Mr.. Mills says that
"The largest wealth will be made where
labor produces the largest amount Of pro-
ducts ina given time,S he makes . state

THRILLING ESCAPE FROM A WRECK.
On February 20 the Hebe encountered
hurricane which created Il very heavy sea-
Her decks were swept and she labored
heavily. In order to relieve her the fore
mast was cut away. In some manner the
cutting away of all the fore rigging was
neglected and when the fore mast
fell it carried with it the main mast
the main mast and mizzen top mast. The
vessel was leaking, but the pumps were
useless and it was impossible to clear her
of water in her hold. The seas continued
to come aboard and the boats were smashed
and the mate and four seamen were swept
against the bulwarks and severely injured.
The cabin and fOrecastle were filled with
water and all the provisions were de-
stroyed. The bark was leaking eighteen
inches an hour on the evening of February
D. The Ems was sighted and 1t was hoped
by those on board the Hebe that boats
from her would rescue them, but they were
disappointed. The pumps were finally got
into working order and the men, though
wornOut with cold and hunger, manned
them. On the morning of February "a the
Colonise hove in sight and noticing the
bark's signals bore down TO her. After
desperate struggle in the heavy waves and
at he risk of their lives, the boats crew
succeeded in getting alongside of the bark
and in taking off everybody aboard her.

WILLOUT
A PENNSYLVANIA ASSASSIN MAKES A
DEATHBED CONFESSION OF HIS
CRIME "a YEARS AGO.
PROFOUND MYSTERY CLEARED UP.
Why and How DIR. lowering Was Killed
While Emerging from His Stable
Door-A Terrible Deed.

YOUNGSTOWN, Pa, March 6.-After twen-
ty-four years mystery surrounding the as
sassination of DR.. lowering of Lower
Merton it has at last been solved. The
murder was one of the most noted in Its
day by reason of the sensational features
surrounding it. The veil has at last been
lifted by the deathbed confession Of John
G. Henderson, who died in that place Sun
day evening, within a short distance of the
scene of the tragedy.
On February ID, 1866 DIR. lowering, who
had been making professional call was in
the act of putting away his team for the
night, and while coming out of the stable
the report of gun was heard from behind
a stone wall within ten feet of the door in
which the doctor stood. The doctors resi-
dence was Gle Sc to Hendersons store, be-
tween the villages of ROsemont and White
hall.
The unusual report of a gun within the
yard of the dwelling aroused the family,
and the lifeless body of the doctor was
found two minutes after the shooting.
The alarm and excitement drew a large
crowd that evening, and every householder
Joined in securing the neighborhood for
the assassin, Henderson assisting his
neighbors. An inquest was held and after
a searching investigation nothing could be
ascertained to permit OF the smallest sus-
piclon falling upon al.v one. The excite
ment caused by the shooting was slow to
die out. Leading citizens of the locality
including Henderson issued circulars offer
ing reward Of $1,000 for the apprehension
of the murderer
With the lape of time the murder sank
from public attention, but gossip re-
counted many interesting incidents in the
relationship which had existed between
Henderson and lowering. Henderson was
the proprietor of village store and was of
good repute. When the war broke out Dr.
Levering was drafted and Henderson went
to the army as his substitute. Among other
for this service the doctor
was to have char-e of Hendelson's bust
ness and his family.
1t was said at the time that Henderson
became jealous of the doctors attention to
his family, but he afterwards showed no
evidence of such feelings The crime was
not attributed to him. Henderson re-
sumed his business, and five years sub
illness compelled him to retire.
He moved to Philadelphia. but returned 10
his former home and once again became a
leading citizen of Lower Merton.
Fearing that this illness was to be his
last he called in his family to his bedside
Tuesday afternoon and in the presence of
the family physician confessed to killing
DR.. lowering in cold blood. He described
the tragedy infinitely and also confessed to
sending DR.. lowering on decoy call previ.
0us to the shooting. Henderson expired a
little before midnight. He gave no reason
for his bloody deed, and the confession has
caused as much of an excitement as did
The crime itself.

Geo. F. Duyster, who represented the New
York league club in its suit against Ward,
was an interested spectator.
The bill sets forth that the Philadelphia
base ball club executed a contract with
Mailman on October 81. 1885, in which it
was agreed that Mailman should receive 4
salary Of $l4N0 to play base ball for period
OF seven months commencing April |, 1889,
and ending October 81. 1859, with the
power of reserying him for the next ensu-
ing season on salary not less han that
paid him previously be given to the club.
On the October 81, 1889. notice was given
Mailman that he was reserved for the
ensuing season of 1890. and despite this it
is charged in the bill Mailman has recently
contracted to give his services as ball
player for the season beginning April l,
1880 to H. NJ. Love Counsel for both
sides argued the matter from their re-
spective standpoints, and the judges took:.all
the papers in the case, and hold the matter
under advisement for the present.
In the course of the argument Judge
Thayer, who had been reading a copy of
the National league contract, interrupted
with the remark: II see by the seven
teenth paragraph of the contract that the
club can discharge the player within ten
days if it wishes, but that the player is
compelled to play with the club as long as

Events of the Country.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, March Sit was after
II o'clock when President Thurston raped
the national convention of the Republican
league to order today. The proceedings
were opened with prayer, after which tele-
grams and letters were read from President
Harrison and Republican congressman,
Hon. r. c. Plat of New York and others.
The invitation rendered to the governor of
Tennessee and members of the State egis-
lature to seats on the floor of the conven-
ton was accepted with thanks, and an in
vitation rendered the league to attend a
reception at the State house at noon. This

ment had until 2 O'Clock for this purpose.
Members then formed in line, and, headed
by the Evansville brass band, marched to
the capitol, where they were heartily re-
ceived by the chief executive of the State
and joint houses of legislature.
Upon arrival at the State capitol the band
played Dixie, and as the league marched
INTO the house the scene was most remark
able. Inspired by the strains of the old
tune members of the legislature arose, and
with shouts and waving of handkerchief
and flags welcomed the visitors. 1t was
sometime before order was secured Speaker
Clapp then arose and in brief address
said he was glad to welcome the Republican
league to the homes of Jackson, Polk and

gentlemen of the Republican league, well
come you, and promise not to count you
present to make quorum.
